Magnesium alloys are a strong candidate for various applications in automobile and aerospace industries due to their low density and specific strength. Micro-alloying magnesium with zinc, yttrium, and cerium enhances mechanical properties of magnesium through grain refinement and precipitation hardening. In this work, a critical review of magnesium-based binary systems including Mg-Zn, Mg-Y, Mg-Ce, Zn-Y, and Zn-Ce is presented. Based on the CALPHAD approach and first-principles calculations, thermodynamic modeling of Mg-Zn-Y and Mg-Zn-Ce ternary phase diagrams have been summarized. The influence of micro-alloying (yttrium and cerium) on the mechanical properties of magnesium is discussed. A comparison between mechanical properties of magnesium commercial alloys and magnesium–zinc–{yttrium and cerium} have been summarized in tables.

The Na-X (X = Si, Ag, Cu, Cr) systems have been critically reviewed and modeled by means of the CALPHAD approach. The two compounds, NaSi and Ag2Na, are treated as stoichiometric ones. By means of first-principles calculations, the enthalpies of formation at 0 K for the LT-NaSi (low temperature form of NaSi) and Ag2Na have been computed to be -5210 and -29821.8 Jmol-1, respectively, with the desire to assist thermodynamic modeling. One set of self-consistent thermodynamic parameters is obtained for each of these binary systems. Comparisons between calculated and measured phase diagrams show that most of the experimental information can be satisfactorily accounted for by the present thermodynamic descriptions.

A thermodynamic analysis of the Fe−M−P (M = Nb, Ti) ternary system has been performed by combining first-principles calculations with the CALPHAD approach. Because of the lack of experimental information available, thermodynamic properties of orthorhombic anti-PbCl2-type FeMP were evaluated using the Full Potential Linearized Augmented Plane Wave method, and the estimated values were introduced into a CALPHAD-type thermodynamic analysis. Applying this procedure, the phase diagrams of the Fe−M−P ternary phase diagrams whose contents are uncertain so far were calculated with a high degree of probability. Phase diagrams for high-purity ferritic stainless steels obtained following the same procedure are also presented.

Porcelain is a type of ceramics highly valued for its beauty and strength. The overall goal of this work is to utilize local raw materials within the following fractions: 37 wt.% kaolin, 35 wt.% feldspar and 28 wt.% quartz. This composition has been selected on the basis of the ternary phase diagrams (kaolin-feldspar-quartz). The densification behaviour indicated that specimens sintered at 1200 °C for 2 h with a heating rate of 5 °C/min, have a bulk density of about 2.50 g/cm³. This value is slightly higher than that reported for the conventional porcelain products (2.45 g/cm³). Porcelain specimens with and without calcination sintered at 1200 °C for 2 h have tensile strength values of about 45 and 73 MPa, respectively (equivalent flexural strength values of about 122 and 197 MPa, respectively). The flexural strength values of both specimens are much higher than those reported for conventional porcelains (ranged between 60 and 80 MPa). Furthermore, the value of micro-hardness of the fired samples without calcination at 1200 °C is 9.3 ± 0.2 GPa which is higher than the commercial porcelain products (5.5 GPa).

A thermodynamic analysis of the Fe-Mn-P ternary system has been carried out using the CALPHAD method. Among the three binary systems relevant to this ternary phase diagram, the thermodynamic parameters of the Mn-P binary system were evaluated in this study. The enthalpy of formation of the binary phosphides obtained from our first-principles calculations was utilized in the present analysis to compensate for the lack of available experimental data. The thermodynamic descriptions of the Fe-Mn and Fe-P binary systems were taken from previous studies. The phase equilibria in the Fe-Mn-P ternary system were analysed based on the experimental data on the phase boundaries. The calculated phase diagrams are in agreement with the experimental results.

The Bi-M (M = Ti, Cr, V) systems have been critically reviewed and modeled by means of the CALPHAD technique. All the intermetallics (BiTi3, BiTi2, Bi9Ti8, Bi3Ti2 and Bi2Ti) were treated as stoichiometric compounds. The enthalpy of formation at 0 K for BiTi2 was computed via first-principles calculations to assist the thermodynamic modeling. The gas phases for the Bi-Cr and Bi-V systems were treated as ideal gas. A set of self-consistent thermodynamic parameters has been finally obtained for each of these binary systems. Comparisons between the calculated and measured phase diagrams as well as first-principles calculations show that most of experimental data can be satisfactorily reproduced by the present thermodynamic descriptions.

Microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of a 1469 alloy and a Sc-free1469 type alloy were examined. SEM observation indicates that AlCuSc ternary phases (W) are formed after homogenization annealing, and cannot be dissolved during the following heat treatments. These coarse particles consume abundant Cu atoms from the Al matrix that are available for solutioning, which results in the decrease of precipitation of the T1 phase during aging treatment. The W phase has negative effects on the examined alloy’s mechanical properties. The tensile strength of Sc-added alloy is 40MPa lower than that of the Sc-free alloy. The formation of the W phase has a close relationship with Cu/Sc ratio, which shows the importance of controlling the concentration of Cu and addition of Sc. Formation of W phase suppress the effect of precipitation hardening of the T1 phase in high strength Al-Cu-Li alloys

Abstract Several zinc dithiocarbamates (ZDCs) as accelerator derived from safe amine has been exclusively studied in the presence of thiazole-based accelerators to introduce safe dithiocarbamate in the vulcanization of natural rubber. Comparison has been made between conventional unsafe zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate (ZDMC) with safe novel ZDC combined with thizole-based accelerators in the light of mechanical properties. The study reveals that thiuram disulfide and 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) are always formed from the reaction either between ZDC and dibenzothiazyledisulfide (MBTS) or between ZDC and N-cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazole sulfenamide (CBS). It has been conclusively proved that MBT generated from MBTS or CBS reacts with ZDC and produces tetramethylthiuram disulfide. The observed synergistic activity has been discussed based on the cure and physical data and explained through the results based on high-performance liquid chromatography and a reaction mechanism. Synergistic activity is observed in all binary systems studied. The highest tensile strength is observed in the zinc (N-benzyl piperazino) dithiocarbamate-accelerated system at 3:6 mM ratios. In respect of tensile strength and modulus value, unsafe ZDMC can be successfully replaced by safe ZDCs in combination with thiazole group containing accelerator.
