Abstract Glass powder ranks among the secondary raw materials, which can be used in the interaction with polymeric materials. In the present experiment the polymeric/epoxy particle composite with different sizes of glass powder particles is described. Such utilization of recyclable materials is environmental-friendly and should be preferred. The size of particles forming the filler of the described composites is one of the key characteristics affecting the mechanical properties. Due to the properties of the systems filled with glass powder, these materials can potentially be used in agriculture (renovations, adhesive bonding, cementing, etc.). In the experiment, glass powder was dimensionally sorted through sieves. Three fractions of glass powder with particles size of 0−30, 30−50, and 50−90 μm were created and utilized, the average particle size being 18.7, 38.7, and 72.6 μm, respectively. The interaction of the 18.7 μm particles did not lead to a statistically significant decrease of shear strength values in the interval 0−20 vol.%. The presence of glass powder, however, in all cases decreased tensile strength.

The work to be detailed in this paper is our development of 96.5mass%Sn-3.0mass%Ag-0.5mass%Cu fine solder particles with an average particle size of under 3um (D50), using a chemical reduction method. An evaluation was conducted on the properties of the particles. The average size of particles appeared to be under 3um with a higher yield compared to particles using the conventional gas atomization method. The melting temperature of fine solder particles using this method was its eutectic temperature, which is same as using the gas–atomized particles. 120um pitch solder bumps from the solder paste using the above mentioned fine solder particles were created on the substrate. As a result of property evaluation, it was turned out that the solder paste created a superior printing shape and coplanarity compared to the conventional paste with gas-atomized particles. In order to investigate the superior printing property generated by the paste with fine solder particles, the rheology of the paste was evaluated.It was verified that the anisotropic shape of particles has contributed to prevent the printed paste from slumping, which has resulted in the improvement of printed shape. It also shows that the filling characteristic of the paste was improved by the smaller particles and the better coplanarity was observed. The importance of finer solder particles for finer pitch assembly will be presented.

Vanadium/iron co-doped nanoTiO2 transparent hydrosol with an average particle size of 3.8 nm was synthesized by a novel complexation-controlled hydrolysis method at room temperature and atmospheric pressure by using TiCl4, ferric nitrate, ammonium metavanadate, etc. as raw materials. The composition, phase structure, particle size, absorbance spectrum, and photocatalytic performance of samples were characterized by XRD, EDS, nanolaser particle size analyzer, and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The photocatalytic properties of V/Fe doped TiO2 were studied through degrading acid 3R dye, and the results show that when the content of V/Fe was 0.5%, the degradation rate reached more than 96% under irridation for 60 min.

The paper focuses on obtaining heterophase powder ceramics and consolidated ceramics based on borides and silicides of hafnium and molybdenum by combining the methods of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) and hot pressing (HP). Composite ceramic SHS powders HfB2–HfSi2–MoSi2 were obtained according to the scheme of magnesium-thermal reduction from oxide raw materials where the combustion wave is characterized by temperatures of 1750–2119 K and high mass combustion rates of 8,4– 9,3 g/s. The structure of synthesized SHS powders consists of relatively large MoSi2 grains up to 10 μm in size and submicron elongated HfB2 grains located mainly inside the MoSi2 grains and rounded Si precipitates. The composition with a lower concentration of boron contains a large number of polyhedral HfSi2 grains with a size of less than 10 μm. The resulting powders are characterized by an average particle size of ~6 μm with a maximum size up to 26 μm. Phase compositions of ceramics consolidated by the HP method and SHS synthesized powders are identical. The microstructure of compact samples consists of faceted HfB2 elongated grains 0,5– 10,0 μm in size, polyhedral HfSi2 and MoSi2 grains up to 8–10 μm in size and silicon interlayers. Consolidated ceramics has a high structural and chemical homogeneity, low residual porosity of 1,1–1,7 %, high hardness of 11,7–12,6 GPa and thermal conductivity of 62–87 W/(m·K).

The paper investigates the structure and properties of samples made of ASP-25 AlSi10Mg, a Russian powder designed to replace expensive additive manufacturing powders of European origin featuring the same chemical composition. We detected that the particle size in the ASP-25 AlSi10Mg powder varies in the range of 7 to 50 μm, the average particle size being 23 μm for the standard deviation of 9.15 and dispersion of 83.7. On the surface of powder particles, we observed smaller satellite particles, individual aggregates, and particles of pure aluminium. We detected the following at the transition boundary between adjacent tracks: a columnar crystal zone and a heat-affected zone consisting of three layers of large, medium and small grains generated as a result of varied cooling conditions. These grains display different silicon lattice thicknesses along their boundaries. We detected no critical size pores (over 15 μm) or burning in the heat-affected zone. The fact that microhardness increases towards the sample edges and is non-monotonic over the transverse section is due to a range of factors acting simultaneously to create non-uniform temperature and force fields that cause differences in conditions of structure formation. Fractography studies of fractures in the AlSi10Mg alloy showed that the nature of failure varies along the sample depth. The central part of the sample, which is subjected to the highest thermal effects, shows clear signs of viscous failure along the main cracks developing along the boundaries of construction layers. We showed that the AlSi10Mg alloy is more resistant to pitting corrosion and general corrosion than the AK9сh (AK9ч) alloy

In the present work, the characterization of monolithic materials formulated at different weight concentrations was conducted; employing two of the ceramic materials most used in the refractory industry, zircon and alumina. These monolithic materials were fabricated using colloidal techniques, specifically plaster casting mold, in order to obtain pieces with a higher particle consolidation and density, reducing porosity to lower values than the obtained using traditional shaping process of these materials. The monoliths were obtained employing two ceramic powders with different average particle size and morphology to achieve better packing in the green body. This characterization was carried out, firstly, determining the particle size of the raw materials by laser diffraction and the evaluation of particle morphology by scanning electron microscopy. Aqueous suspensions were formulated by containing both ceramic materials, which were dispersed with Tamol 963, and analyzed by rheometric techniques. Subsequently, bars were manufactured having the following dimensions; 4 mm wide, 3 mm thick and 45 mm in length, according to ASTM C1161-02cc, to be characterized microstructural and mechanically, also was observed the fracture habit after the mechanical test. As a final result, the materials formulated at higher alumina content showed higher density values, reaching 94.95% of the theoretical density, also showed a higher thermal expansion coefficient and high rupture modulus, reaching up to 600 MPa and Young modulus of 230 GPa. From the microstructure characterization it was observed that alumina matrix shows a transgranular fracture across the grains and zircon particles exhibited intergranular fracture among the grain boundaries.

The objectives of this study were to prepare leadless crystalline glazes from iron oxide by using low temperature firing (1,100°C) and to study the effect of concentration of iron oxide on the phase composition of the glaze raw materials on phase transformation in leadless iron oxide crystalline glaze. The crystalline phases were investigated by using the DTA, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The composition of the glaze raw materials compose of nepheline syenite, colemanite, pottery stone, bentonite, ZnO, Li2CO3, SiOSubscript text2 and 10, 15 and 20%(w/w) iron oxide (Fe2O3). The glaze raw materials were ground for homogeneous mixtures by ball milling for 24h. The average particle size of the mixture was 3.86 µm. The glaze bodies were carried to firing at 1,100°C at the heating rate of 2°C/min and soaking for 0.5h. Then, the glaze bodies were cooled at the cooling rate of 1°C/min and maintained at 1,080°C for 3h and then maintained at 980°C for 1h, respectively. From the experiment results, it was found that the crystallization temperatures (Tc) of franklinite (ZnFe2O4) and anorthite (CaAl2Si2O8) depend on the concentration of iron oxide content.

Abstract: A large area cross section of the production of spherical metal powders by gas atomization in the manufacturing method. Powder metal characteristic improves with small powder size. This aim was realized by vertical gas atomization unit, a new a closely-matched nozzle system and manufacture. In the experimental studies, pure aluminium powders which has an important place in the automotive, air and defence industries were produced. In the studies carried out with the Vertical Gas Atomization unit, aluminium was superheated up to 900°C and atomized at different gas pressures (20-30 bar). Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and particle size measuring device were used for the characterization and size measurements of the produced powders, respectively. The average particle size of the finest powder produced with increasing atomization pressure was determined as d50=19.50µm. Aluminium powder shape and morphology was used as spherical and very little satellization was seen. Keywords: Powder Metallurgy, Atomisation, Nozzle, Al powder, Characterisation

The article is devoted to the current problem of processing waste of conductive materials, in particular lead bronze, which accumulates in large quantities at enterprises. A promising method for processing any conductive material, characterized by wastelessness, ecological purity of the process, and low energy costs, is the method of electroerosive dispersion. The essence of the method of electroerosive dispersion is the destruction of current-conducting material as a result of local exposure to short-term electrical discharges between the electrodes. In the discharge zone, under high temperatures, heating, melting and partial evaporation of the material occurs, resulting in the formation of finely dispersed powder particles. At the same time, the electrical parameters of the installation will affect the productivity of the process for obtaining powder materials: the voltage at the electrodes, the capacitance of the discharge capacitors, and the repetition rate. The article presents the results of the analysis of particles of powdered lead bronze obtained by the method of electroerosive dispersion in distilled water from wastes, using the laser analyzer of particle sizes "Analysette 22 NanoTec". It has been experimentally established that the average particle size of powdered lead bronze is 9.73 μm, the arithmetic value is 9.731 μm. It was also found that the elongation coefficient (elongation) of particles with a size of 7.188 μm is 1.50.

The article is devoted to the description of a method for producing electrolytic copper powder with an average particle size of 3 to 10 μm. In order to increase the proportion of the finely dispersed fraction during the electrolysis process, the composition of the electrolyte was changed. In particular, the content of chloride ions was increased from 6 to 53 mg/dm3. After the growth of the powder in industrial baths, its subsequent drying and sieving on vibrating screens, samples were obtained with a fraction of 5 μm content in the range from 3 to 38 %. Additionally, air classification of powders was carried out at various speeds of the classifier rotor from 800 to 2000 rpm. Based on the results of the study, the optimal ranges of the specific surface area and the size of the initial powder particles before classification, as well as the composition of the electrolyte and the operating modes of the classifier, were determined.
