The precipitation sequence of an Al-Mg-Si alloy depends on many parameters. In this study the natural aging effect on the activation energy of the precipitation sequence in the Al-Mg-Si alloy have been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The precipitation sequence of an Al-Mg-Si alloy has been established. The activation energy of the precipitation process was calculated using Kissinger model. The results obtained using this method showed a change in the activation energy for all precipitated phases. The activation energy of the metastable phases (β″ and β′) and the stable phase β formation in the Al-Mg-Si alloy aged at room temperature have been determined.

Abstract The thermal decomposition of magnesium-aluminum layered double hydroxides (LDHs) was investigated by thermogravimetry analysis and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) methods in argon environment. The influence of heating rates (including 2.5, 5, 10, 15 and 20K/min) on the thermal behavior of LDHs was revealed. By the methods of Kissinger and Flynn-Wall-Ozawa, the thermal kinetic parameters of activation energy and pre-exponential factor for the exothermic processes under non-isothermal conditions were calculated using the analysis of corresponding DSC curves.

Aluminum-Copper-Lithium alloys are of strategic important [1] in lightweight aerospace structures due to their high specific modulus and specific strength and are under consideration for one of the potential choices for Korea Space Launch Vehicle structure. However, this is one of the most complicated alloys due to the precipitation of a large number of second phase particles. In this study, the precipitation kinetics of an Al-4.3%Cu-1.2%Li alloy was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) technique since precipitation plays an important role for hardening of this alloy. Several models including Kissinger’s, Starink’s and Chaturvedi’s were used to obtain the activation energy and precipitation kinetics.

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to study non-isothermal kinetics of α→β transformation of Zr-0.5wt%Sn-0.15wt%Nb-0.5wt%Fe-0.25wt%V alloy. The DSC curves were measured from room temperature to 1030 °C at the heating rate of 15, 20, 30, 50°C /min respectively. The Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) method was used to get the activation energy (E) of α→β transformation at different conversion ratios. Then the values of activation energy obtained were modified by Ozawa iterative equation. The kinetic mechanism functions of α→β transformation were investigated by Criado-Ortega methods. The results show that the activation energy is related to conversion ratios. It means α→β transformation is not a simple one-step reaction but a complex multi-step reaction. The most probable kinetic mechanism functions are different in different temperature ranges, which are -ln(1-x) for ≤830 °C, [-ln(1-x)]1/2 for 834~848 °C, [-ln(1-x)]2/5for 850~856 °C and [-ln(1-x)]1/3 for 858~868 °C respectively.

Effect of Indium addition on the precipitation kinetics of Al8Si0.4Mg alloy has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. The activation energy analysis results show that the β′ precipitation activation energy is 85 kJ mol-1 and 86 kJ mol-1 for the base alloy and Indium containing alloy respectively. The β′ precipitation mechanism parameter n analysis results show that β′ precipitates in two-dimensional and the growth mechanism of β′ precipitates is unaffected by Indium addition. The nucleation density dependent parameter k for Indium containing alloy is 2.45 times of the base alloy which suggests that Indium addition accelerates the nucleation density of β′ phases.

The formation of metal oxide-based hydroxysodalite by alkali-activation of kaolinite is studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) study and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. Different metal oxides (CoO, MgO, FeO and SiO2) were used to form the metal oxide-based hydroxysodalite. The transformation from kaolinite into hydroxysodalite is confirmed by XRD. In the thermodynamic study, the maximum peak temperatures for DSC curves at various heating rates were used to determine the activation energy (Ea) of the hydroxysodalite formation. With magnesium oxide and cobalt oxide, the formation process was found to be exothermic while it was endothermic with iron oxide.

Non-isothermal sublimation kinetics of low-volatile materials is more favorable over isothermal data when time is a crucial factor to be considered, especially in the subject of detecting explosives. In this article, we report on the in-situ measurements of the sublimation activation energy for 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) continuous nanofilms in air using rising-temperature UV-Vis absorbance spectroscopy at different heating rates. The TNT films were prepared by the spin coating deposition technique. For the first time, the most widely used procedure to determine sublimation rates using thermogravimetry analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was followed in this work using UV-Vis absorbance spectroscopy. The sublimation kinetics were analyzed using three well-established calculating techniques. The non-isothermal based activation energy values using the Ozawa, Flynn–Wall, and Kissinger models were 105.9 ± 1.4 kJ mol−1, 102.1 ± 2.7 kJ mol−1, and 105.8 ± 1.6 kJ mol−1, respectively. The calculated activation energy agreed well with our previously reported isothermally-measured value for TNT nanofilms using UV-Vis absorbance spectroscopy. The results show that the well-established non-isothermal analytical techniques can be successfully applied at a nanoscale to determine sublimation kinetics using absorbance spectroscopy.

In this paper, high purity boron carbide samples were irradiated by [Formula: see text]Co gamma radioisotope source (0.27 Gy/s dose rate) with 50, 100, 150 and 200 irradiation hours at room-temperature. The unirradiated and irradiated boron carbide samples were heated from 30[Formula: see text]C to 1000[Formula: see text]C at a heating rate of 5[Formula: see text]C/min under the argon gas atmosphere of flow rate 20 ml/min. Thermogravimetric (TG) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were carried out in order to understand the thermodynamic kinetics of boron carbide samples. The weight kinetics, activation energy and specific heat capacity of the unirradiated and irradiated boron carbide samples were examined in two parts, T [Formula: see text] 650[Formula: see text]C and T [Formula: see text] 650[Formula: see text]C, according to the temperature. The dynamic of quantitative changes in both ranges is different depending on the irradiation time. While the phase transition of unirradiated boron carbide samples occurs at 902[Formula: see text]C, this value shifts upto 940[Formula: see text]C in irradiated samples depending on the irradiation time. The activation energy of the unirradiated boron carbide samples decreased from 214 to 46 J/mol in the result of 200[Formula: see text]h gamma irradiation. The reduction of the activation energy after the irradiation compared to the initial state shows that the dielectric properties of the irradiated boron carbide samples have been improved. After the gamma irradiation, two energy barrier states depending on the absorption dose of samples were formed in the irradiated samples. The first and second energy barriers occurred in 0.56–0.80 and 0.23–0.36 eV energy intervals, respectively. The existence of two energy levels in the irradiated boron carbide indicates that the point defects are at deep levels, close to the valence band.

Curing kinetics of MEP-15/593 system and MEP-15/593/660 system is studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Curing kinetic parameters are evaluated and the relationship between diluent 660 and the curing properties is investigated. The results show that the diluent 660 can not only reduce viscosity and activation energy, but also improve the degree of cure and conversion ratio.
