Al2O3-MgO unfired brick were prepared by using brown corundum, white corundum, fused magnesia and α-A12O3 as main starting materials, Al2O3-SiO2 gel powder as a binder. The effects of Al2O3-SiO2 gel powder on the strength of Al2O3-MgO unfired bricks were investigated. The phase composition was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that with an increase of Al2O3-SiO2 gel powder content, room temperature strength first increased and then decreased, and reached an optimum value at 5.5% addition. The hot modulus of rupture continuously increased. This mainly was related to the reactivity of Al2O3-SiO2 gel powder and the formation of mullite at high temperature.

The effects of Si3N4 addition on the room temperature physical properties and hot modulus of rupture(HMOR) of unfired A12O3-C slide plate were investigated by using tabular corundum and reactive alumina as starting materials, aluminium powder and silicon powder as antioxidation agents, phenolic resin as binder. The phase composition and microstructure was characterized by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and EDAX. The results showed that with addition of Si3N4, the compactness of A12O3-C slide plate decreased, the room temperature strength deduced. Due to formed cylindrical sialon as a binder phase, the hot modulus of rupture increased.

ABSTRACTThe mechanical alloying behavior of elemental powders in the Nb-Si, Ta-Si, and Nb-Ta-Si systems was examined via X-ray diffraction. The line compounds NbSi2 and TaSi2 form as crystalline compounds rather than amorphous products, but Nb5Si3 and Ta5Si3, although chemically analogous, respond very differently to mechanical milling. The Ta5Si3 composition goes directly from elemental powders to an amorphous product, whereas Nb5Si3 forms as a crystalline compound. The Nb5Si3 compound consists of both the tetragonal room-temperature α phase (c/a = 1.8) and the tetragonal high-temperature β phase (c/a = 0.5). Substituting increasing amounts of Ta for Nb in Nb5Si3 initially stabilizes the α-Nb5Si3 structure preferentially, and subsequently inhibits the formation of a crystalline compound.

It is hardly possible to obtain rare earth doped CaWO4thin films directly through electrochemical techniques. A two-step method has been proposed to synthesize CaWO4:(Eu3+,Tb3+) thin films at room temperature. X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, spectrophotometer were used to characterize their phase, composition and luminescent properties. Results reveal that (Eu3+,Tb3+)-doped CaWO4films have a tetragonal phase. When the ratio of n (Eu)/n (Tb) in the solution is up to 3:1, CaWO4:(Eu3+,Tb3+) thin film will be enriched with Tb element; on the contrary, when the ratio in the solution is lower than 1:4, CaWO4:(Eu3+,Tb3+) thin film will be enriched with Eu element. Under the excitation of 242 nm, sharp emission peaks at 612, 543, 489 and 589 nm have been observed for CaWO4:(Eu3+,Tb3+) thin films.

The morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) composition that is characterized by the coexistence of rhombohedral and tetragonal phases in the Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3–BaTiO3– PbTiO3 system was modified by W-doping at the B site of a perovskite structural block. To maintain the electrical neutrality, creation of A-site vacancies was intentionally introduced in the formulation of the examined compositions. Incorporation of W ions was revealed to stabilize the tetragonal phase against the rhombohedral one, shifting the MPB toward the PZN-rich end at room temperature. High-temperature x-ray diffraction examination in combination with dielectric measurements discloses two successive phase transitions as a sample is cooled from high temperature, namely, paraelectric cubic to ferroelectric rhombohedral followed by ferroelectric rhombohedral to ferroelectric tetragonal. W addition appears to suppress the first transition while promoting the second one.

Abstract Using the available analytical methods, including the determination of chemical composition using wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescent spectroscopy technique and phase composition determined using X-ray diffraction, microstructural observations in a highresolution scanning microscope equipped with an X-ray microanalysis system as well as determination of characteristic softening and sintering temperatures using high-temperature microscope, the properties of particular chromite sands were defined. For the study has been typed reference sand with chemical properties, physical and thermal, treated as standard, and the sands of the regeneration process and the grinding process. Using these kinds of sand in foundries resulted in the occurrence of the phenomenon of the molding mass sintering. Impurities were identified and causes of sintering of a moulding sand based on chromite sand were characterized. Next, research methods enabling a quick evaluation of chromite sand suitability for use in the preparation of moulding sands were selected.

Europium-doped hydroxyapatite Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 (3% mol) powders were synthesized by an optimized chemical precipitation method at 25 °C, followed by drying at 120 °C and calcination at 450 °C and 900 °C. The obtained nanosized crystallite samples were investigated by means of a combination of inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies. The Rietveld refinement in the hexagonal P63/m space group showed europium ordered at the Ca2 site at high temperature (900 °C), and at the Ca1 site for lower temperatures (120 °C and 450 °C). FTIR and Raman spectra showed slight band shifts and minor modifications of the (PO4) bands with increasing annealing temperature. PL spectra and decay curves revealed significant luminescence emission for the phase obtained at 900 °C and highlighted the migration of Eu from the Ca1 to Ca2 site as a result of increasing calcinating temperature.

Biomorphic TiO2 was prepared by high temperature pyrolysis and a modified sol-gel route. The morphology and microstructure of TiO2 samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The phase composition of the resulting sample was analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The results suggest that the biomorphic TiO2 mainly consists of rutile TiO2, and replicates the shape and part microstructure of the carbon template.

ABSTRACTRecently, Ti-substituted Sm-Co permanent magnets have attracted renewed attention due to their interesting high-temperature coercivity. Our presentation deals with the effect of iron substitutions on the magnetic properties of the materials. X-ray diffraction shows that the investigated Sm(Co,Fe,Cu,Ti)z materials (z = 7.0 - 7.6) are two-phase magnets, consisting of 1:5 and 2:17 regions. The iron content affects both the coercivity and the magnetization. Depending on composition and heat treatment, some samples show a positive temperature coefficient of the coercivity in the temperature range from 22 °C to 550 °C. Moderate amounts of iron enhance the room-temperature coercivity. For example, the room-temperature coercivity of Sm(Co6.0Fe0.4Cu0.6Ti0.3) is 9.6 kOe, as compared to 7.6 kOe for Sm(Co6.4Cu0.6Ti0.3). At high temperatures, the addition of Fe has a deteriorating effect on the coercivity, which is as high as 10.0 kOe at 500 °C for Sm(Co6.4Cu0.6Ti0.3). The room-temperature magnetization increases on iron substitution, from 73 emu/g for Sm(Co6.4Cu0.6Ti0.3) to 78 emu/g for Sm(Co6.0Fe0.4Cu0.6Ti0.3). The observed temperature dependence is ascribed to the preferential dumbbell-site occupancy of the Fe atoms.

AbstractOrthorhombic dysprosium orthogallate DyGaO3 and trigonal gallium orthoborate GaBO3 were synthesized in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus under high-pressure/high-temperature conditions of 8.5 GPa/1350 °C and 8 GPa/700 °C, respectively. Both crystal structures could be determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction data collected at room temperature. The orthorhombic dysprosium orthogallate crystallizes in the space group Pnma (Z = 4) with the parameters a = 552.6(2), b = 754.5(2), c = 527.7(2) pm, V = 0.22002(8) nm3, R1 = 0.0309, and wR2 = 0.0662 (all data) and the trigonal compound GaBO3 in the space group R3̅c (Z = 6) with the parameters a = 457.10(6), c = 1419.2(3) pm, V = 0.25681(7) nm3, R1 = 0.0147, and wR2 = 0.0356 (all data).

Phase transformation of the Zr-1.0Sn-0.39Nb-0.31Fe-0.05Cr alloy was investigated by high temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD results revealed that the alloy contained two precipitates at room temperature, namely β-Nb and hexagonal Zr(Nb,Fe,Cr,)2. β-Nb was suggested to dissolve into the α-Zr matrix at the 580oC. Thin oxide film formed at the alloy’s surface was identified as mixture of the monoclinic Zr0.93O2and tetragonal ZrO2, when the temperature reached to 750oC and 850 oC. The thermal expansion coefficients of αZr in this alloy was of αa = 8.39×10-6/°C, αc = 2.48×10-6/°C.
