Acoustic emission (AE) technique was employed to monitor the low temperature degradation (LTD) behavior of a zirconia ceramic, which was carried out in air at 200°C. AE signals, typical waveform of which exhibited as pulse-like type, were detected during LTD and increased with the duration time of LTD. The AE signal of accumulative counts number and amplitude in time domain exhibited a roughly sigmoid variation including three stages, which reflect approximately the evolution of LTD. The AE findings were supported by X-ray diffraction (XRD) examination. It was suggested that AE technique can be used to monitor the mechanism of LTD of zirconia ceramics.

Wavelet analysis and bispectrum was applied to Acoustic Emission (AE) signals from scratch tests on corroded hot-dip galvanized samples in order to achieve the detection of corrosion products in pieces non reachable by visual inspection. AE signals were correlated with the fracture mechanisms occurring during scratch tests, while the contact force increased. Results were corroborated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD).

AbstractHigh-temperature X-ray diffraction techniques were employed to study the condensation reactions which occur when sodium orthophosphates are heated to 380°C. Crystalline Na4P2O7 and an amorphous phase were formed first from an equimolar mixture of Na2HPO4·NaH2PO4 and Na2HPO4 at temperatures above 150°C. Further heating resulted in the formation of Na5P3O10-I (high-temperature form) at the expense of the crystalline Na4P4O7 and amorphous phase. Crystalline Na5P3O10-II (low-temperature form) appears after Na5P3O10-I.Conditions which affect the yield of crystalline Na4P2O7 and amorphous phase as intermediates and their effect on the yield of Na5P3O10 are also presented.

In this study, the correlation between welding quality and features of acoustic emission (AE) signals collected during laser microwelding of stainless-steel sheets was analyzed. The performance of selected AE features for detecting low joint bonding strength was tested using a developed monitoring system. To obtain the AE signal for analysis and develop the monitoring system, lap welding experiments were conducted on a laser microwelding platform with an attached AE sensor. A gap between the two layers of stainless-steel sheets was simulated using clamp force, a pressing bar, and a thin piece of paper. After the collection of raw signals from the AE sensor, the correlations of welding quality with the time and frequency domain features of the AE signals were analyzed by segmenting the signals into ten 1 ms intervals. After selection of appropriate AE signal features based on a scatter index, a hidden Markov model (HMM) classifier was employed to evaluate the performance of the selected features. Three AE signal features, namely the root mean square (RMS) of the AE signal, gradient of the first 1 ms of AE signals, and 300 kHz frequency feature, were closely related to the quality variation caused by the gap between the two layers of stainless-steel sheets. Classification accuracy of 100% was obtained using the HMM classifier with the gradient of the signal from the first 1 ms interval and with the combination of the 300 kHz frequency domain signal and the RMS of the signal from the first 1 ms interval.

Kaolin M1 and M2 studied by X-ray diffraction focus on the mullite phase, which is the main phase present in both products. The Williamson–Hall and Warren–Averbach methods for determining the crystallite size and microstrains of integral breadth β are calculated by the FullProf program. The integral breadth ( β) is a mixture resulting from the microstrains and size effect, so this should be taken into account during the calculation. The Williamson–Hall chart determines whether the sample is affected by grain size or microstrain. It appears very clearly that the principal phase of the various sintered kaolins, mullite, is free from internal microstrains. It is the case of the mixtures fritted at low temperature (1200 °C) during 1 h and also the case of the mixtures of the type chamotte cooks with 1350 °C during very long times (several weeks). This result is very significant as it gives an element of explanation to a very significant quality of mullite: its mechanical resistance during uses at high temperature remains.

AbstractA new silicate-germanate K2Y[(Si3Ge)O10(OH)] was synthesized hydrothermally in a system Y2O3:GeO2:SiO2 = 1:1:2 (T = 280 °C; P = 90–100 atm.); K2CO3 was added to the solution as a mineralizer. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiment was carried out at low temperature (150 K). The unit cell parameters are a = 10.4975(4), b = 6.9567(2), c = 15.4001(6) Å, β = 104.894(4)°; V = 1086.86(7) Å3; space group is P 21/c. A novel complex anion is presented by corrugated (Si,Ge) tetrahedral layers connected by couples of YO6 octahedra into the mixed microporous framework with the channels along b and a axes, the maximal size of cross-section is ~5.6 Å. This structure has similarity with the two minerals: ring silicate gerenite (Ca,Na)2(Y,REE)3Si6O18 · 2H2O and chain silicate chkalovite Na2BeSi2O6. Six-member rings with 1̅ symmetry as in gerenite are distinguished in the new layer. They are mutually perpendicular to each other and connected by additional tetrahedra. Straight crossing chains in chkalovite change to zigzag four-link chains in the new silicate-germanate layer.

Poly(ʟ-lactide) (PLLA) films, even of high thickness, exhibiting co-crystalline and crystalline α phases with their chain axes preferentially perpendicular to the film plane (c⊥ orientation) have been obtained. This c⊥ orientation, unprecedented for PLLA films, can be achieved by the crystallization of amorphous films as induced by low-temperature sorption of molecules being suitable as guests of PLLA co-crystalline forms, such as N,N-dimethylformamide, cyclopentanone or 1,3-dioxolane. This kind of orientation is shown and quantified by two-dimensional wide-angle X-ray diffraction (2D-WAXD) patterns, as taken with the X-ray beam parallel to the film plane (EDGE patterns), which present all the hk0 arcs centered on the meridian. PLLA α-form films, as obtained by low-temperature guest-induced crystallization, also exhibit high transparency, being not far from those of the starting amorphous films.

Zirconium dioxide (zirconia) ceramics are known by its high strength and toughness and titanium dioxide (titania) ceramics has outstanding surface properties. The ceramic composite formed between the two oxides are expected to have advantages of both ceramics, especially when its surface area is increased by pores. In this work, ceramic composites of ZrO2-Y2O3-TiO2were synthesized by coprecipitation and rice starch was added as pore former in 10, 20 and 30 wt%. Powders were cold pressed as cylindrical pellets and sintered at 1500 °C for 01 hour and ceramics were characterized by techniques as Archimedes method for density measurements, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Results showed that pores are inhomogeneously distributed through ceramic bodies.
