Instrumental characterization of clay by XRF,XRD and FTIR

Instrumental characterizations of the clay were performed by different techniques such as XRF, XRD and FTIR. XRF shows the chemical compositions of the clay where Al-oxide and silica oxide are present in major quantity whereas XRD confirms the presence of these minerals in clay. FTIR studies show the presence of quartz, alumina, haematite and different mineral matters.     

烧结直接淬火对WC－TiC－Co合金WC相微观结构及力学性能的影响

本文以ＴＥＭ和ＸＲＤ为主要手段，研究ＷＣ－ＴｉＣ－Ｃｏ硬质合金（ＹＴ１４）在直接淬火后ＷＣ相的微观结构和微观应力，比较了常规烧结态与淬火态试样ＷＣ相之间的差异，探讨了直接淬火对合金力学性能的影响。结果表明，在保持合金其他性能不降低的同时，直接淬火的抗弯强度比常规烧结提高２８％左右。并首次发现，经直接淬火热处理的ＹＴＩ４合会中与Ｃｏ相相邻的ＷＣ晶粒边界出现滑移台阶，这是淬火过程中热应力使ＷＣ晶粒内位错在｛０００１｝密排面聚集，并可能沿｛０００１｝＜１１２０＞易滑移系统强滑移的结果。直接淬火试样的微观应力比重新加热淬火的低。     

纳米Cr颗粒对Ni-Mo复合镀层性能的影响

为了研究纳米Cr颗粒对Ni-Mo复合镀层性能的影响,采用脉冲电沉积方法制备具有不同Cr含量的Ni-Mo复合镀层.利用扫描电子显微镜和X射线衍射仪分别观察和分析复合镀层的组织形貌及结构.采用电化学测试和X射线光电子能谱研究复合镀层的析氢性能和耐蚀性能.结果表明:随着镀液中纳米Cr颗粒含量的增加,镀层晶粒得到细化,析氢过电位增大,复合镀层析氢性能得到提高;当镀液中纳米Cr颗粒含量为20 g/L时,复合镀层表面钝化膜中MoO₃含量较高,且可与Cr产生协同效应,因而复合镀层具有较好的耐蚀性能;但随着镀液中纳米Cr颗粒含量的进一步增加,复合镀层中沉积的Cr元素含量降低,复合镀层的析氢性能和耐蚀性能均降低.因此,当镀液中纳米Cr颗粒含量为20 g/L时,复合镀层具有较好的析氢性能和耐蚀性能.     

Scanning Auger electron spectroscopy study of the oxide film formed on dendritic and interdendritic regions of C containing Fe3Al intermetallic

The oxide films formed during early stage of oxidation at 800 °C on dendritic and interdendritic regions of the cast Fe–16Al–1C (wt.%) alloy were studied using scanning Auger electron spectroscopy. Microhardness measurement and elemental depth profiles by Auger spectroscopy reveal that the carbide, Fe₃AlC_0.69, is the major constituent of the interdendritic region, while dendrites are predominantly Fe₃Al phase. Between the two, the interdendritic region is found to be more prone to oxidation than the dendritic region, which was attributed to presence of carbides with low-Al content. In spite of the difference in oxide film thickness exhibited by both the phases, they consist of an inner aluminium oxide layer and an outer iron oxide layer.     

The high temperature phase transitions of orthorhombic La0.95MnO3

The high temperature phase transitions of orthorhombic La_0.95MnO₃ from room temperature to 1273 K were studied using high temperature XRD technique in air. Two-phase transitions were found in temperature ranges, 373–473 K and 973–1273 K, respectively. The crystal symmetry increases from orthorhombic to rhombohedral then cubic, while the second transition was not completed in the observation of the present study. The first transition could be due to the depression of Jahn–Teller distortion, while the second one could be caused by the ionic oscillation at high temperature. The lattice thermal expansion coefficients of rhombohedral La_0.95MnO₃ from 473 to 973 K were also calculated using lattice parameters.     

Effects of blending on surface characteristics of copper corrosion products in drinking water distribution systems

Copper scales formed over 6-months during exposure to ground, surface and saline waters were characterized by EDS, XRD and XPS. Scale color and hardness were light red-brown-black/hard for high alkalinity and blue-green/soft for high SO₄ or Cl waters. Cl was present in surface or saline copper scales. The Cu/Cu₂O ratio decreased with time indicating an e transfer copper corrosion mechanism. Cu₂O, CuO, and Cu(OH)₂ dominated the top 0.5-1 A° scale indicating continuous corrosion. Cu₂O oxidation to CuO increased with alkalinity, and depended on time and pH. Total copper release was predicted using a Cu(OH)₂ model.

Synthesis of Sn-Incorporated Folded Sheets Mesoporous Materials (Sn-FSM-16)

Sn-incorporated folded sheets mesoporous materials (Sn-FSM-16) with various contents of Sn were synthesized by using a mixture of water glass, SnCl₄ and NaOH as starting materials. Hexadecyltrimethyl-ammonium chloride (surfactant) was used to intercalate into the layered silicate. The reaction process was followed by measurements of XRD patterns of intermediates. The Sn-FSM-16 was formed via the following mechanism: (1) layered silicates such as - - and -Na₂Si₂O₅ were formed as intermediates by the calcination of the mixture of the starting materials; (2) the surfactant was intercalated into the layered silicates; (3) the surfactant-silicate complex with hexagonal structure was obtained as a precursor of Sn-FSM-16; (4) the precursor was calcined to decompose the surfactant in the interlayer and was changed to Sn-FSM-16. The structural aspect of Sn in Sn-FSM-16 was studied by XPS profiles of Sn 3d _5/2 and Si_2p, ²⁹ Si MAS NMR and FTIR. The content of Sn in Sn-FSM increased with increasing concentrations of both Sn and NaOH in the starting materials. The surface area of Sn-FSM-16 decreased with an increase of Sn content in Sn-FSM (1160–620 m²/g).     

Structural and electrochemical characterization of mechanochemically synthesized calcium zincate as rechargeable anodic materials

Hydrated calcium zincate was synthesized by mechanical ball milling of ZnO and Ca(OH)₂ in water at room temperature. The structural and electrochemical properties of this material used as rechargeable anodic material were examined by microelectrode voltammetry, charge–discharge measurements and structural analysis. The results showed that during mechanical milling, ZnO, Ca(OH)₂ and H₂O reacted rapidly to form Ca[Zn(OH)₃]₂ · 2H₂O which was subsequently transformed to a stable structure CaZn₂(OH)₆ · 2H₂O. Since this composite oxide has lower solubility in KOH solution (<35 wt %) and better electrochemical reversibility than ZnO-based negative materials, the zinc anodes using this material can overcome the problems of shape changes and dendritc formation, and therefore exhibit improved cycling life.
