Tailorable thermal expansion in leucite-pollucite materials derived from geopolymers for environmental barrier coatings

The K[AlSi₂O₆]-Cs[AlSi₂O₆] pseudo-binary system was synthesized by geopolymer crystallization. The thermal expansion properties of these materials were studied by in situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction to characterize thermal expansion behavior for potential application as environmental barrier coatings. Tailorable thermal expansion through changing cation stoichiometry allowed reduced thermal expansion mismatch with SiC_f/SiC composites compared to rare-earth-based coatings.     

High-temperature Na2SO4 interaction with air plasma sprayed Yb2Si2O7 + Si EBC system: Topcoat behavior

The high-temperature interaction between ~2.5 mg/cm² of Na₂SO₄ and an atmospheric plasma sprayed (APS) Yb₂Si₂O₇ topcoat–Si bond coat system on SiC CMC substrates was studied for times up to 240 h at 1000°C–1316°C in a 0.1% SO₂–O₂ gaseous environment. Yb₂Si₂O₇ reacted with Na₂SO₄ to form Yb₂SiO₅ and an intergranular amorphous Na-silicate phase. Below 1200°C, the reaction was sluggish, needing days to cause morphological changes to the “splat microstructure” associated with APS coatings. The reaction was rapid at 1200°C and above, needing only a few hours for the entire topcoat to transform into a granulated microstructure consisting of Yb₂SiO₅ and Yb₂Si₂O₇ phases. Na₂SO₄ deposits infiltrated the Yb₂Si₂O₇ topcoat and transformed into an amorphous Na-silicate in less than 1 h at all exposure temperatures. Quantitative assessment of the Yb₂SiO₅ area fraction in the topcoat showed a linear decrease over time at 1316°C, attributed to reaction with the SiO₂ thermally grown oxide (TGO) formed on the Si bond coat and rapid transport through the interpenetrating amorphous Na-silicate grain boundary phase. It was predicted that nearly 2 weeks is needed for complete removal of Yb₂SiO₅ from the topcoat at 1316°C for a single applied loading of Na₂SO₄.     

Novel accelerated corrosion test for LY 12CZ and LC4CS aluminum alloys

A new accelerated corrosion test--comprehensive environmental test （CET） was developed in order to estimate the outdoor corrosion of aluminum alloys in marine environment. The environmental characteristics in CET were studied by atmospheric corrosion monitor （ACM）, and the morphology of corrosion product was observed by SEM. The correlation between the accelerated corrosion tests and outdoor exposure was discussed. The results show that the anti-corrosion ranking for LY12CZ, LC4CS, clad LY12CZ, and clad LC4CS in CET is the same as that of the alloys exposed outdoor, and ACM study shows that CET demonstrates the .same environmental characteristics as that exposed outdoor. CET is a more accurate accelerated corrosion test, and a mathematical relation was obtained to describe the relation between CET and outdoor test.

Environmental Influences on Fish Migration in a Hydropeaking River

Fish have evolved traits and life history characteristics that enable them to survive, exploit and depend on the flow regime of rivers, particularly the timing and predictability of flows for spawning and rearing their young. It is unclear to what degree pulsed flows from hydropower facilities and other environmental variables influence migratory behaviours. We used Dual Frequency Identification Sonar in the Michipicoten River, Canada, to address the relationship between fish migration and environmental factors with a focus on flow magnitude and fluctuation. In both 2007 and 2009, the peak of the Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) migration occurred on 8 September. Mean water temperature on this date was 18 °C and precipitously dropped afterwards. The photoperiod was roughly 12‐h long with sunrise at 700 h and sunset at 2000 h. Most fishes moved upstream during the hours of darkness between 2000 and 600 h. The lowest counts of fish occurred from noon to just before sunset, whereas highest counts commonly occurred from 1 to 2 h after sunset. Fish moved upstream during all magnitudes of flow; however, there was a slight preference for larger flows in 2007 but not in 2009. Changes in flow magnitude occurred both during the day and night, with flows typically increasing during the day to meet electrical demand and decreasing at night. Most fishes moved upstream during periods of little to no change in flow. High flows and changing flows may deter salmon from moving up the Michipicoten River but not likely in a significant manner to cause energetic stress or harm. Other adverse effects of pulsed flows, however, must still be considered for spawning, hatching and rearing success. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Downstream Ecological Impacts of Controlled Sediment Flushing in an Alpine Valley River: A Case Study

Sediment flushing may be effective to tackle the loss of reservoir storage as a result of siltation. When operationally possible, the impact of this practice on the downstream aquatic environment can be mitigated by limiting the sediment concentration of the discharged waters (controlled sediment flushing). However, this topic is poorly documented, and concerns arise when limits are discussed. We present the results of a 3‐year field investigation concerning the controlled sediment flushing of a small reservoir on the Adda River, the main tributary of Lake Como—Italy. Two limits for suspended solid concentration (SSC) were adopted: 1.5 g L^?1, as average value throughout the whole working day, and 3.0 g L^?1, as alert threshold to adjust the ongoing activity. These constraints were essentially fulfilled in the course of the documented operations. The first year sediment flushing was more significant than the following year: 25 000 tons of fines below 2 mm in diameter were flushed in six non‐consecutive days in summer 2010, while, one year earlier, 75 000 tons were flushed in 16 non‐consecutive days. In the third year of investigation (2011), no sediment evacuation took place. The benthic macroinvertebrate and the fish communities were surveyed a short distance below the reservoir, that is, in the potentially more affected river reach. Clear pieces of evidence of environmental quality degradation were not detected; the adopted strategies can therefore be considered to be appropriate when planning sediment flushing management in comparable contexts.
