In Al-Si-C system, there are many compounds, of which Al4SiC4 is useful as high-temperature structure material and the antioxidant in carbon-containing refractory. In this paper, Al4SiC4 powders were synthesized by using kaolin grog, aluminum and activated carbon as raw materials. The phase changes of the synthesized samples were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the microstructure was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The effects of synthesis temperature and the proportion of aluminum on phase compositions of Al-Si-C system were investigated. The results show plate-like Al4SiC4 powders can be prepared with optimal ratio of starting materials and synthesis temperature.

LiFe0.97Nb0.03PO4/C was synthesized by the method of high temperature ball milling (HTBM), using raw materials including Fe2O3, LiH2PO4, Nb2O5and glucose, which was used as reductant and carbon source. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electrochemical performance test. The sample synthesized at 700 °C for 8h showed excellent electrochemical properties, with the discharge capacity as high as 140 mA•h/g at 0.1C rate respectively. The sample also showed an excellent capacity retention as there was no significant capacity fade after 10 cycles.

Bismuth selenide (Bi2Se3) hexagonal nanosheet crystals with uniform size were successfully prepared via a solvothermal method at 160°C for 22 h using bismuth trichloride(BiCl3) and selenium powder(Se) as raw materials, sodium bisulfite(NaHSO3) as a reducing agent, diethylene glycol(DEG) as solvent, and ammonia as pH regulator. Various techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) were used to characterize the obtained products. Results show that the as-synthesized samples are pure Bi2Se3 hexagonal nanosheet crystals. A possible growth mechanism for Bi2Se3 hexagonal nanosheet crystals is also discussed based on the experiment.

The aim of this work was to study the influence of quenching and partitioning temperatures combined with various levels of Mn and Ni contents on the austenite stabilization along the quenching and partitioning (Q&P) cycle. Three steels with 2 wt.%, 4 wt.% and 6 wt.% manganese and one steel with 2 wt.% nickel content were investigated. Phase transformation temperatures and critical cooling rates were obtained experimentally using dilatometer for each alloy. Q&P cycles with different quenching and partitioning temperatures were also done in dilatometer, thus, allowing monitoring of the expansion/contraction during the whole Q&P cycle. Microstructure characterization was performed by means of a Scanning Electron Microscope and X-Ray Diffraction to measure retained austenite content. It was found that, strongly depending on the Q&P conditions, austenite stabilization or decomposition occurs during partitioning and final cooling. In case of high partitioning temperature cycles, austenite reverse transformation was observed. Certain cycles resulted in a very effective austenite stabilization and interesting microstructure.

The corrosion characteristics of Inconel 600 were investigated at 650∘C in air and 76%[Formula: see text]%[Formula: see text]%[Formula: see text]%SO2 gas environment up to 500[Formula: see text]h. Specimens exposed to each condition were characterized by weight gain, scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The oxide structure consisting of the thin Cr2O3 layer and Cr2O3 nodules was observed, which increased the weight gain of specimens. In the SO2-bearing gas, it showed a bigger weight gain due to the coarsening of Cr2O3 nodules. Therefore, it was suggested that the sulfur-accelerated coarsening of Cr2O3 nodules at the high temperature.

Fe-W based composite have successfully been prepared using natural resource. The ferberite (Fe (Mn, Sn)WO4) tailings mixed with aluminum, carbon and boron oxide powder were used as reactants. The reactants were pressed and followed by oxy-acetylene flame ignition. The products from the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) reaction were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) couple with dispersive X-ray (EDS).

Flower-like β-Ni(OH)2 and nanoflakes have been successfully synthesized with nickel nitrate as nickel source and stronger ammonia water as precipitant via the hydrothermal method. The phase and the morphologies of the samples have been characterized and analyzed by XRD (X-ray diffraction) and SEM (Scanning electron microscope), respectively. XRD shows that the phase of the samples is β-Ni(OH)2. SEM confirms that The low reaction temperature is propitious to the synthesis of flower-like β-Ni(OH)2, and with the increase of the reaction time the nanoflakes of flower-like β-Ni(OH)2 become much thinner. However, The high temperature is in favor of the synthesis of β-Ni(OH)2 nanosflakes, and with the further increase of the reaction temperature.


Abstract: The photocatalytic composite Fe doped AC/TiO2 has been prepared by sol-gel method. The prepared Fe doped AC/TiO2 composite were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).The SEM analysis showed that Fe and TiO2 were attached to the Activated Carbon surfaces. The X-Ray Diffraction data showed that Fe doped AC/TiO2 composite mostly contained anatase phase.

SiC-Al3BC3-cBN composites with different contents of cBN were fabricated by high pressure and high temperature sintering (HPHT) at 1450 °C for 3 min under a pressure of 5.0 GPa using SiC, Al, B4C and C as additives. The effect of SiC content on the density and mechanical properties of SiC-Al3BC3-cBN composites was investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to analyze phases and micro-structure of the sintered samples. The hardness of SiC-Al3BC3-cBN composites decreased with the increasing of SiC content, However, the fracture strength of SiC-Al3BC3-cBN composites increased with the increasing of SiC content.

The silicon-coated iron powder was evenly mixed with corundum powder and high temperature binder. After tabletting and sintering, followed by crushing and screening, the magnetic abrasive with a certain size was obtained. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were respectively used to characterize the morphology, elemental composition and the crystalloid structures of magnetic abrasive. The ferromagnetic phase and abrasive phase were combined firmly. The magnetic abrasive prepared showed a good grinding ability, whose durable time was up to 24 min. Irregular particles was obtained by smashing the magnetic abrasive, mainly composed of Al2O3, Fe2O3, α-Fe, AlFeO3, (Al, Fe)7BO3(SiO4)3O3.

The behavior of Fe-12Cr-2Mo stainless steel exposed isothermally in tube furnace at 700°C for 10 h had been studied in different environments; of mixed environment (Ar-20%O2 with coated Na2SO4-50%NaCl salts), molten salt (Na2SO4-50%NaCl) and dry oxygen (Ar-20%O2) atmospheres. The exposed samples were characterized by using optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results indicated that, sample exposed in mixed environments undergoes highest corrosion rate compared with other samples. The main phase exists in all samples generally were iron-rich oxides which non-protective and thick. Conversely, EDX analysis on cross-sectional samples revealed the Cr-enrichment developed underneath the iron-rich oxide scales as the chromium concentration increases towards near the substrate. In presence of salt mixture, the oxide scales undergo spallation, however there is no crack observed. The catastrophic corrosion sample was occurred in combined environment due to the oxidation induced by the chloridation and sulfidation phenomena as well.
