Evaluation of the superplastic formability of SP-inconel 718 superalloy

The superplastic formability of SP- lnconel 718 superalloy was evaluated using the argon blowing method. Relationships among superplastic forming parameters (forming temperature, argon pressure, and forming time) and specific dome height (dome height/workpiece diameter) were investigated, as were changes in material properties after superplastic forming. Experimental results showed the optimum forming temperature range for SP- lnconel 718 to be between 975 and 995 °C. During the superplastic forming process, 5- phase precipitates formed at grain boundaries and limited the grain growth, which is considered beneficial for superplastic deformation. On the other hand, increasing the forming deformation also increased the formation of cavities, which can be attributed to the existence of niobium- rich inclusions. This degraded the superplasticity of the superalloy. Electrochemical tests showed that the corrosion resistance of SP- lnconel 718 after superplastic forming worsened because of the existence of both S- phase precipitates and niobium- rich inclusions.     

Effects of phosphorus addition on the magnetic properties of sintered Fe-50 wt.% Ni alloys

Phosphorus was added to Fe-50 wt.% Ni in the form of a coated composite powder via an electroless plating process. Addition of phosphorus to Fe-50 wt.% Ni facilitated increases in density and grain size, both of which were beneficial to magnetic performance. Because of the homogeneous distribution of phosphorus in the powder, the optimal phosphorus addition was much lower than for those using Fe₃P as the phosphorus precursor. The optimal phosphorus addition was close to its maximum solubility in Fe-50 wt.% Ni (about 0.5 wt.%), above which precipitation of excessive phosphorus in the form of iron nickel phosphide, (Fe,Ni)₃P, effectively degraded the magnetic properties of Fe-50 wt.% Ni. Without the addition of phosphorus, good magnetic properties could be achieved only when the sintering temperature was high enough (>1200 °C) to result in a high sintered density and large grains in the sintered structure.     

铝元素的添加对锆基合金非晶形成能力影响的电子结构模型

通过构建非晶合金的团簇模型，利用离散变分法从电子层次研究了Al元素对Zr-Cu非晶合金中团簇稳定性的影响。结果表明，Al原子的引入提高了团簇中原子间的亲和力，并且随着Al原子数的增加，亲和力增大，导致新的团簇产生，从而破坏了非晶的团簇结构，Al含量对Zr-Al-Ni非晶合金的稳定性的影响可通过Fermi能级处的态密度大小来反映。     

Densification and Phase Development of Spodumene–Cordierite Glass Powder Mixtures

The sintering and crystallization of spodumene-cordierite glass-ceramics that are made from mixtures of Li₂O-Al₂O₃-SiO₂ (LAS) and MgO-Al₂O₃-SiO₂(MAS) glass powders were investigated. Pure LAS and MAS powders have good sinterability. However, the densification of LAS was drastically reduced when small amounts of MAS were added. When larger amounts of MAS were added, the amount of densification further increased. The decrease in the Li₂O content in the LAS glass promoted the densification of the mixed glass samples. The above-mentioned results can be explained by examining the crystallization temperature, which is influenced by the interactions between the LAS and MAS glass particles. The lower the temperature of crystallization, the less sintering occurred. For the sintered samples, the phase that crystallized from the MAS glass was alpha-cordierite, and that which crystallized from the LAS glass was ß-spodumene or high-quartz solid solution, depending on the Li₂O content in the LAS glass.

Evaluation of wastewater reclamation processes in a high-tech industrial park

The objectives of this research were to evaluate two different processes using for wastewater reclamation in a hightech industrial park area in Taiwan. The major units of the first AC-RO-IE system included sand filter, an activated carbon (AC) bed, microfiltration module, a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane and ionic-exchange (IE) columns. The second DAF-AC-RO system was comprised of coagulation/flocculation, dissolved air flotation (DAF), an activated carbon bed, microfiltration module and reverse osmosis membrane units. This study was carried out at a pilot-scale plant in situ that operated for approximately 1 year. According to the long-term experimental results, both the AC-RO-IE and the DAF-AC-RO processes illustrated excellent performances on inorganic and organic contaminant removal. Comparing the removal efficiency of the filtration-AC units in the AC-RO-IE system with the coagulation-DAF-AC units in the DAF-AC-RO system, the removal efficiency of TDS, SiO₂ and COD increased by 19.8%, 70.1% and 44.4% in the latter system, respectively. In addition, the combination of PAC-coagulation and DAF units could improve hardness removal, modify the form of dissolved silica, and reduce the SDI and MFI values. It showed good potential as a pretreatment unit in wastewater reclamation processes. Therefore, based on the reclaimed wastewater quality and process operational stability, the DAF-AC-RO system was suggested as a potential process for further application.

Synthesis of the Silver Nanofluid by ASNSS Process

Arc Spray Nanoparticle Synthesis System (ASNSS) has been used to prepare the silver nanofluids in this study. The metal electrodes under the electrical discharge will melt and evaporate rapidly and condense to form the nanoparticles in the dielectric fluid at lower temperature and produce the suspended nanoparticle fluid. Thus, the mechanism of the ASNSS process is superheating the electrodes by plasma to form metallic nuclei and supercooling these nuclei by dielectric liquid to produce nanofluid. This study considers the different controlling parameters such as discharge current,discharge voltage, pulse-duration time, electrode diameter, and the temperature of dielectric liquid. The optimally operated parameters can be obtained to produce the finer particle size in nanofluid. The results indicate the silver electrodes in alcohol fluid will produce the spherical nanosilver particles. The mean particle size of silver in different dielectric liquid temperatures of-40, -20, 0, and 10℃ is about13.4, 15.8, 17.5, and 21.6 nm, respectively. This indicates that the well suspended fluid can be obtained by controlling the lower dielectric fluid temperature.

Effect of incipient removal of hydrogen through palladium membrane on the conversion of methane steam reforming: Experimental and modeling

This paper presents a mathematical model based on the reaction rate expressions to describe the displacement of methane conversion in the steam reforming. The effect of several parameters including weight hourly space velocity (WHSV), load-to-surface ratio, reaction pressure, hydrogen partial pressure in permeate side and reaction temperature were investigated. Simulation and experimental results showed that a conversion higher than 80% could be achieved in a palladium membrane reactor at reaction temperature of 500 °C relative to 850 °C in a conventional fixed bed reactor (FBR). Besides, the yield of CO (<2%) in membrane reactor was much lower than that (>50%) in the FBR, which indicated the significant depression of CO production in use of membrane reactor.
