The method of electromagnetic casting (EMC) was used to produce the long-length rod billet (with a diameter 12 mm) of aluminum alloy containing 0.6 wt.% Zr, 0.4%Fe, and 0.4%Si. The combination of high cooling rate (≈104 K/s) during alloy solidification and high temperature before casting (≈830 °C) caused zirconium to dissolve almost completely in the aluminum solid solution (Al). Additions of iron and silicon were completed in the uniformly distributed eutectic Al8Fe2Si phase particles with an average size of less than 1 µm. Such fine microstructure of the experimental alloy in as-cast state provides excellent deformability during wire production using direct cold drawing of EMC rod (94% reduction). TEM study of structure evolution in the as-drawn 3 mm wire revealed the onset of Al3Zr (L12) nanoparticle formation at 300 °C and almost-complete decomposition of (Al) at 400 °C. The distribution of Zr-containing nanoparticles is quite homogeneous, with their average size not exceeding 10 nm. Experimental wire alloy had the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and electrical conductivity (EC) (234 MPa and 55.6 IACS, respectively) meeting the AT2 type specification. At the same time, the maximum heating temperature was much higher (400 versus 230 °C) and meets the AT4 type specification.

In this research, using iron-oxide fines (average size: 2.5 μm) and biochar fines (average size: 50.0 μm), the biochar composite briquette (BCB) for blast furnace (BF) application was prepared by cold briquetting followed by heat treatment. The preparing conditions were optimized regarding its cold crushing strength. Anti-pulverization capability, reaction development, and structure evolution of the optimally-designed BCB under simulated BF conditions were then examined. Results of optimizing BCB preparation conditions showed that a heating temperature of 1073 K was optimal for preparing the BCB. The optimally-designed BCB contained 11.10 wt.% carbon, 72.21 wt.% Fe3O4, 11.25 wt.% FeO, and 0.77 wt.% Fe, 6.44 wt.% gangue, and had a cold crushing strength of 1800 N/briquette. Results of BCB behavior under simulated BF conditions showed that the cold crushing strength after partial reaction of the BCB ranged from 1500 N/briquette to 5500 N/briquette and its maximum volume shrinkage degree was 0.45. The high anti-pulverization capability of the BCB was supported by the slag matrix or the iron network. Under the simulated BF conditions, the BCB underwent five stages of reduction by atmosphere, partial self-reduction and reduction by atmosphere, full self-reduction, partial self-reduction and gasification by atmosphere, and gasification by atmosphere. It is inferred from the experimental findings that, by charging the BCB in BF, an increase of top gas utilization efficiency could be realized, and a favorable influence on lowering the temperature level of the thermal reserve zone could be obtained.

Laser pulse irradiation of the globular turbostratic carbon material in various conditions was carried out in this work. It was investigated by TEM that the formation of nanostructured particles (nanocapsules) during irradiation at 1064 nm wavelength occurs with power density of 108 W/cm2, and it’s rise up to 1011 W/cm2 leads to increase the degree of ordering of the obtained structures. It is shown that irradiation of the initial globules with pulses at 532 nm wavelength allows to reduce the interplanar spacing of graphene layers from 0,410 nm to 0,346 nm in the formed nanocapsules. The dependence of the maximum heating temperature of nanoparticles on the energy density on the laser spot was analyzed. The influence of the heating temperature of the carbon nanomaterial on structure and morphology was stated.

Abstract Renewable energies including solar energy requirements for refrigeration and air conditioning are increasingly gaining interest due to the refrigerants friendly to the environment. However, it was found that these technologies have some limitations like the low performance and their high cost. This paper proposes a comparative study of a solar adsorption refrigeration machine. The study consists in determining the optimal thermodynamic parameters of operation as well as their influences on the performance of the system. This is based on a thermodynamic model using different types of adsorbent / adsorbate pairs. The main parameters considered in this study are: temperature of generation, evaporation, maximum heating temperature, condensation pressure as well as the type of the pair used: activated carbon / methanol and zeolite / water. Simulations for different thermodynamic parameters show that the COP is very sensitive to the generation and evaporation temperatures as well as the maximum heating temperature, on the other hand it was slightly influenced by the condensation pressure. The results obtained have shown that the AC / methanol pair is more profitable than the zeolite / water pair.

Abstract Thermoelectric Si 0,65 Ge 0,35 Sb δ materials have been fabricated by spark plasma sintering of Ge-Si-Sb powder mixture. The electronic properties of Si 0,65 Ge 0,35 Sb δ were found to be dependent on the uniformity of mixing of the components, which in turn is determined by the maximum heating temperature during solid-state sintering. Provided the concentration of donor Sb impurity is optimized the thermoelectric figure of merit for the investigated structures can be as high as 0.628 at the temperature of 490 °С, the latter value is comparable with world-known analogues obtained for Si 1- x Ge x P δ .

В статье дается подробное описание процесса поверхностной плазменной обработки тяжело нагруженных стальных деталей. Для решения вопроса о типе структур, возникающих в зоне термического влияния и, следовательно, об их свойствах, определяются скорости охлаждения в каждом микрообъеме, с последующим сопоставлением с термокинетическими кривыми распада аустенита при определенной концентрации аустенита и максимальной температуре нагрева.The article provides a detailed description of the process of surface plasma treatment of heavily loaded steel parts. To solve the problem of the type of structures arising in the heat-affected zone and, therefore, their properties, the cooling rates in each microvolume are determined, followed by comparison with the thermokinetic austenite decomposition curves at a certain austenite concentration and maximum heating temperature.
