In order to improve the qualities of sinter of Ansteel, the sinter’s metallurgical property was examined and analyzed that from the second workshop and the fourth workshop of ironmaking plant. And mineralogical composition and microstructure in high basicities sinter were investigated and analyzed by the X-ray diffraction, the optical microscope and the scanning electron microscope in laboratory. It was found that the differences between in sinter’s mineralogical composition and microstructures are according with the differences in chemical composition and the metallurgical indexes. Both the sinter’s minerals are mainly composed of hematite, magnetite or maghemite, calcium ferrite, dicalcium silicate, silicate glass phase. The content of the carbon in the fourth workshop is higher. So, it should decrease the content of the carbon that makes the microstructure of the sinter more rational.

The effect of different Ti additions on the microstructure of Al-Ti alloy prepared by powder metallurgy was investigated. A certain amount of Ti (10wt%, 15wt%, and 20wt%) were added to aluminium and the tests like microhardness, density, scanning electron microscope (SEM), optical microscope (OM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) were conducted to determine the influence of different Ti additives on the Al-Ti alloy properties and microstructure. The results show that the grains of α-Al changed from large grains to roughly spherical and then to small rounded grains with increasing Ti content, the micro-hardness of the alloy increases with increasing Ti, and XRD results confirm the formation of TiAl3 intermetallic compound during sintering.

The microstructure of as-cast 718 alloy after modified with Mo has been investigated by means of optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It was found that the dendrite arm space was widened and the interdendritic area was reduced by increasing Mo addition. And no new phase was precipitated in the modified alloys by Mo addition in the range of the present test. The addition of Mo promoted the precipitated of Laves phase, restrained the formation of δ phase, and elevated melting point of the Laves phase.

The effect of Sr addition on microstructure evolution of Mg-6Zn-2Al-2Ca-xSr (x=0.5, 1, 2, 3)alloys were investigated by using scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and optical microscope. The result show that Sr constitutional under cooling can significantly refined microstructure of alloys and formed rod-shaped Al4Sr phase in Mg-6Zn-2Al-2Ca alloys, while alloy microstructure turned to be coarse with further increase in Sr content. The addition of Sr slows down the precipitation power of Mg-6Zn-2Al-2Ca alloys and inhabits the β phase continuous precipitation.

P/M Ti-Al-Mo-V-Ta alpha-beta alloys were processed by hot-pressing sintering technique. The effects of Ta additions on microstructure and properties of the Ti-5Al-4Mo-4V alloys were investigated using X-ray diffraction, optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and mechanical properties tests. The results show that minor Ta addition improves the relative density and the mechanical properties of P/M Ti-5Al-4Mo-4V alloys. After sintering for 4h at 1623 K, the relative density and compression strength of Ti-5Al-4Mo-4V-5Ta alloy are 99.3% and 1950 MPa.

Sandstone pore-plugging is a serious problem that bothers acid in situ leaching (ISL) uranium deposit, but currently, the mechanism of pore-plugging has not attracted much attention. In this study, using X-ray fluorescence, scanning electron microscope, optical microscope, and X-ray diffraction, we present both macro- and micro-evidence of pore-plugging occurred during acid in situ mining of sandstone uranium deposit at Yili Basin, NW (northwest) China. Our study reveals that in comparison with normal sandstones, the plugged sandstones are yellow in color and have relatively high contents of Fe and chamosite. The plugging in studied samples is mainly caused by precipitation of Fe(OH)3 at a pH of 2.0–4.0 for quantitative effect and by precipitation of gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O) as well. Alteration/dissolution of chamosite and to a lesser extent, Fe-bearing microcline and muscovite, may have contributed iron for Fe(OH)3 precipitation. It is suggested that adjustment of injection pH < 2.0 throughout the leaching passage would be an effective way to avoid/minimize this type of sandstone pore-plugging.

By means of Vickers hardness tester, optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high resolution transmitted electron microscope (HRTEM), the bake softening and precipitation behaviors of AA5182 H19 sheet for can end stock at 205°C and 249°C were investigated. All specimens at both temperatures showed recovery and bake softening phenomenon, which meaning the dislocation density and HV decreased. However, the specimens baked at 205°C showed higher recovery impediment, because the bake softening curve departed from the dynamic laws when it had less amount of recovery than the specimens baked at 249°C. The hardness was higher for the specimen baked at 205°C compared with the specimen baked at 249°C, even both specimens had the same dislocation density measured by XRD. Further observations revealed that the precipitated particles in the specimens baked at 205°C distributed along the shear bands. The precipitates were needle shape with the length of 5-15 nm and the width of 5-10 atom layers, which occurred mostly in the area with higher dislocation density. These precipitates were guessed to be Al-Mg binary phases, which could contribute to the higher hardness of the specimens baked at 205°C.

Hybrid nanocomposites were successfully prepared by the incorporation of polyethersulfone (PES) and organoclay into epoxy resin. They had higher fracture toughness than the prepared PES/epoxy blend and organoclay/epoxy nanocomposites. The microstructures of the hybrid nanocomposites were studied. They were comprised of homogeneous PES/epoxy semi-interpenetrating network (semi-IPN) matrices and organoclay micro-agglomerates made up of tactoid-like regions composed of ordered exfoliated organoclay with various orientations. The former was confirmed with dynamic mechanical analysis, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, while the latter was successfully observed with X-ray diffraction measurements, optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. The improvement of their fracture toughness was due to the synergistic toughening effect of the PES and the organoclay and related to their microstructures.

The effect of the neodymium content on mechanical properties of the electro-brush plated nanoAl2O3/Ni composite coating was investigated in this paper. The microstructure and phase structure were studied with scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The hardness and abrasion properties of several coatings with different neodymium content were studied by nanoindentation test and friction / wear experiment. Results show that the coatings are much finer and more compact when the neodymium was added, and the hardness and abrasion property of the coatings with neodymium were improved obviously. Besides, the small cracks conduced by the upgrowth stress in the coatings were ameliorated when the rare earth neodymium was added. The improvement mechanism was further discussed.
