In order to reduce the oxidizing and volatilizing caused by Mg element in the traditional methods for synthesizing Mg2Si compounds, solid state phase reaction at low temperature was introduced by microwave field. XRD was used to characterize the powders. At the same time, the influences of parameters during the synthesis processing were discussed. The results suggest that the heating profile is also dependent on the initial green density and higher green density provides lower heating rate while power setting are fixed and the oxidation of Mg can be rest rained by changing microwave heating programs. It was found that high purity Mg2Si intermetallic compound can be obtained with excessive content of 8at% Mg from the stoichiometric Mg2Si, 853K and 30min

In order to reduce the oxidizing and volatilizing caused by Mg element in the traditional methods for synthesizing Mg2Sil-xSnxsolid solutions, Mg2Sil-xSnxsolid solutions have been prepared by Microwave-assisted Synthesis techniques. The heating behavior of Mg, Si and Sn fixed powder was investigated under microwave irradiation. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to characterize the powders. The results suggest that the temperature-rising rate is also dependent on the initial green density and higher green density provides lower heating rate while power setting are fixed. XRD patterns show that Mg2Sil-xSnxsolid solutions have been well formed under microwave irradiation.

AbstractMicrowave reaction sintering of tungsten- carbon-, cobalt mixtures is described as a method that combines the liquid phase reaction sintering of tungsten carbide cobalt hardmetals with the enhanced densification behavior of hardmetals in the microwave field. Starting with green parts composed of W-, Co- powder, soot as carbon source and with varying amount of additives a dense and extremely fine grained hardmetal can be obtained in one pressureless microwave reaction sintering step.By this method hardmetals with improved mechanical properties can be obtained in a drastically simplified processing cycle, without time consuming steps such as carburizing and milling.

The sintered microstructure homogeneity of W-15wt%Cu nanocomposite powders prepared from W-CuO mixture was investigated. The increment of heating rate considerably affected the homogeneity of sintered microstructure. In case of the higher heating rate, the microstructure was more homogeneous than that of the lower heating rate by reason of Cu- exudation during heating-up process.

AbstractThe formation kinetics of BaTiO3from the solid-state BaCO3and TiO2powder in a microwave field was investigated. The quantitative XRD analysis and the model considered the volume change between reactant and product were used in this experiment. Results show that the formation rate of BaTiO3in a microwave field is much faster than upon conventional heating. The activation energy of the solid state reaction for BaTiO3was measured as 58 kJ/mol. This indicates the enhancement of diffusion by the microwave heating process.

In this paper, homogeneous and well-crystallized LiFePO4 was synthesized by a novel modified solid-state reaction method following by heat treatment at relatively low temperature of 500°C in Ar. No impurities are detected in the XRD patterns. The initial charge specific capacity and discharge specific capacity reach 157.2mAhg-1 and 152.6mAhg-1 respectively at 20°C. Voltage plateaus at around 3.45V were observed in all the curves, indicating that the charge and discharge reaction proceeds as a two-phase reaction. The initial charge specific capacity is 157.2mAhg-1 at 0.1C rate, i.e. 92% of the theoretical capacity, and specific capacity decreases slightly after 100 circles at room temperature.
