To save land resources by the use of low-grade natural resources to realize a high cost performance product, the technology of prepared superfine quartz sand powder via the ball milling methods were investigated. The results are shown the mean particle size of quartz sand powder is gradually become small varied with prolonging the ball milling time. Before 60 minutes, the mean particle size is slashed, however, the range of varying mean particle size is less after 60 minutes under the ball milling rotate speed for 200r/min and the charge amount for 200g/L, so the ball milling time for 60 minutes is decided.The mean grain size of quartz powders are decreased vary with an increasing the ball milling rotate speed, and the rotate speed is lower, the distribution is wider, however, the rotate speed is higher, the distribution is narrower.The mean grain size of quartz powders are 11.25μm via a roller ball milling, the mean grain size of quartz powders are 7.37μm via a planetary ball milling, and the particle size distribution of quartz powders milled via a roller ball milling is wider than that of quartz powders milled via a planetary ball milling, which shows the of quartz powders milled via a roller ball milling is not more uniform than that of quartz powders milled via a planetary ball milling, the asymmetry powder is advantage for forming the high performance building materials body.

ZrB2 and HfB2 with incorporation of SiC are being considered as structural materials for elevated temperature applications. We used high energy ball milling of micron-size powders to increase lattice distortion enhanced inter-diffusion to get uniform distribution of SiC and reduce grain growth during Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS). High-energy planetary ball milling was performed on ZrB2 or HfB2 with 20vol% SiC powders for 24 and 48 hrs. The particle size distribution and crystal micro-strain were examined using Dynamic Light Scattering Technique and x-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. XRD spectra were analyzed using Williamson-Hall plots to estimate the crystal micro-strain. The particle size decreased, and the crystal micro-strain increased with the increasing ball milling time. The SPS consolidation was performed at 32 MPa and 2,000°C. The SEM observation showed a tremendous decrease in SiC segregation and a reduction in grain size due to high energy ball milling of the precursor powders. Flexural strength of the SPS consolidated composites were studied using Four-Point Bend Beam test, and the micro-hardness was measured using Vickers micro-indenter with 1,000 gf load. Good correlation is observed in SPS consolidated ZrB2+SiC with increased micro-strain as the ball milling time increased: grain size decreased (from 9.7 to 3.2 μm), flexural strength (from 54 to 426 MPa) and micro-hardness (from 1528 to 1952 VHN) increased. The correlation is less evident in HfB2+SiC composites, especially in micro-hardness which showed a decrease with increasing ball milling time.

A 17.63 m long bore-hole core extracted from the deepest part of Lake Yamanaka, one of the Fuji-five Lakes at the northeasternfoot of Mount Fuji, central Japan, composed of sediment with intercalations of scoria fallout deposits. The sediment of the upper11.4 m was investigated for grain-size distribution by using a laser diffraction particle size analyser. The mean grain-size profileshowed various degrees of fluctuations, both short-and long-terms, and the size-frequency distribution revealed unimodal-trimodalmixing of sediments. Changes in lake size and water depth appear to be the main factors affecting the variability in the grain-sizedistribution and properties. The lake level appears low during 7000–5000 cal BP and 2800–1150 cal BP and relatively high during5000–2800 cal BP and 1150 cal BP– present.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/bdg.v14i0.5437Bulletin of the Department of Geology Vol.14 2011, pp.35-42

In this paper, the BaZrO3(BZ) and BaZr0.97Y0.03O3-δ(BZY3) powders were prepared by using the industrial grade BaCO3, ZrO2and Y2O3powders combining the conventional solid state reaction. The BaZrO3(BZ) and BaZr0.97Y0.03O3-δ(BZY3) ceramics were fabricated at 1750°C. The effect of ball milling time and sintering aid (TiO2) on the sinterability of BaZr0.97Y0.03O3-δ(BZY3) ceramics were investigated, and the improved stability of BaZrO3refractory with Y2O3additive were studied according to the refractory-metal interaction. The results revealed that the particle size of BZY3 powders decreased first and then increased with the increasing of ball milling time from 6h to 12h, and the minimum particle size was only 2.252μm at 8h. When 2wt.%TiO2was added, the sintered pellet of BZY3 was the most densest and the relative density was above 95%. After melting the Ti2Ni alloy on the BZY and BZ ceramics, the thickness erosion layer of BaZrO3and BZY3refractories and Ti2Ni alloy is approximately 50μm and 20μm respectively, showing that BZY3 was more stable than BaZrO3refractory.

Rapid preparation of nanocrystalline γ-Fe2O3 powder with superparamagnetism was realized by cryomilling commercial Fe2O3 powder using liquid nitrogen. The effects of milling temperature and duration on the grain size, phase and microstructure of the nanocrystalline Fe2O3 powder were analyzed. Magnetic property of the nanocrystalline γ-Fe2O3 powder was also tested by magnetometer at room temperature. The results demonstrate that nanocrystalline γ-Fe2O3 powder with single phase can be prepared rapidly by cryomilling with liquid nitrogen. The mean particle size of γ-Fe2O3 powder can be reduced from 300 nm to 13 nm by cryomilling at −130 °C within 3 hours. The nanocrystalline γ-Fe2O3 powder shows superparamagnetism at room temperature.

Fe-Ni-Cr alloy powders with the different components were prepared by Mechanical Alloying (MA). The phase structure, grain size, micro-strain and lattice distortion were determined with X-ray diffraction. The morphology and particle size of the powders were observed and analyzed using a field emission scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the Fe-Ni-Cr nanocrystalline powders could be obtained by MA. The ball milling time could be reduced with increasing amount of Cr, resulting the formation of Fe-Ni-Cr powders. With the increasing amount of Cr, the speed of Ni diffusion to Fe lattice approaching saturation became more rapid. The particle size got smaller as the ball milling went further; the extent of micro-strain and distortion of lattice intensified; the solid solubility of Ni and Cr in Fe was increased. Finally the super-saturated solid solution of Fe was obtained.

In this paper, we report our investigation on material structure analysis of (Ba0.7Sr0.3Fe12O19)1-x-(Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3)x with x = 0.2, x = 0.5 and x = 0.8 composite system prepared by a mechanical alloying process to promote feroic properties. It is shown that the x-ray diffraction patterns of each composition for the composite materials are the same. It consisted of the mixture for the two phases. The average of particle size for each respective phase in the composite materials was found initially increased, up to 18-20 μm after mechanically milled for 40 hours, then start to decreased to a smaller size ~ 8-10 μm after 80 hrs milling time. However, a plot of particle size against the milling time for each composite phase shown a trend of further reduction in the mean particle sizes. In addition, the x-ray traces of dense pellet samples after sintering the milled powders at a temperature of 1100 °C showed broadened diffracted peaks pattern due to fine crystallites in the samples. Results of mean crystallite size determination of respective phases in the composite samples showed the same trend, a decrease with milling time toward values about 10 nm at 80 hrs milling time. Hence, sintering to the milled particles has promoted the formation of nanocrystal containing particles. When compared between the mean particle size and mean crystallite size of respective phase in the composite samples, the mean crystallite size for magnetic phase (B7S3F) was found more than 100 times smaller than the mean particle size of composite particles. However, finer mean crystallite sizes were found in the ferroelectric phase (B7S3T) in which the mean was about 200 times smaller than the mean particle size.

The heavy clinopyroxene mineral pigeonite forms a glacial indicator dispersal train originating from diabase intrusions in the Nipigon region of northwestern Ontario. Analysis and interpretation of the pigeonite dispersal pattern adjacent to the up-ice portion of the diabase provides a number of insights into the nature of glacial erosion of bedrock and the generation of heavy-mineral dispersal trains. Bedrock erosion and entrainment rates at the time of pigeonite dispersal train formation were high (3–14 mm·a–1), suggesting that bedrock erosion was rapid yet spatially and temporally restricted. Contrasting erosion rates between the diabase and surrounding greenstone lithologies suggests that modern shield topography is not an assemblage of equilibrium bedforms with respect to the ice sheet. This agrees with hypothesized low total erosion of shield bedrock during the Pleistocene. Pigeonite grain size coarsens over the diabase source, indicating that most of the pigeonite was quarried from outcrops as coarse diabase fragments. Down-ice of the diabase source the mean particle size of pigeonite recovered from till decreases, suggesting most of the pigeonite was liberated from bedrock by the comminution of coarse diabase clasts during glacial transport. While the conclusions drawn from this study may not necessarily apply to all heavy-mineral dispersal trains, the interpretive framework provides a foundation for comparative studies.
