Carbon fibers had been modified by the method of electroless plating Ni. The surface morphology, ingredient and cross-section images of modification carbon fibers were charactered by scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. A continuous dense Ni-P alloy layer could be coated on the surface of carbon fibers by such method. The nickel-plated layer expanded in a layer growth pattern. The reaction thermodynamic analysis indicated that the process was spontaneous. The controlling process of electroless plating Ni on the carbon fibers could be divided into 3 stages: at first, controlled by chemical reaction; hereafter, controlled by chemical reaction and ions diffusion; finally, controlled by ions diffusion.

Nanocrystallized ZrN coatings have been deposited by DC magnetron sputtering. The effects of target power on the microstructure and mechanical properties of ZrN coatings have been investigated. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and nano-indentation were applied to characterize the phase structure, morphologies of cross-section and mechanical properties of ZrN coatings. As power increases up to 250 W, ZrN coating exhibits (111) preferred orientation. All coatings showed columnar structure, and the columnar width increased with improved power. These microstructural changes resulted in the increase in hardness with increasing target power.

The existance of catalyst in a chemical reaction is very important. This catalyst can accelerate the chemical reaction. Currently there are local catalyst with the performance as good as commercial catalyst. One of those catalyst is zeolite. This paper determines the study of characterization of zeolite using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and explains the perfomance of zeolite in the synthesis of triacetin. Catalyst from zeolite was made by mixing with H2SO4 in various concentrations, neutralization and drying. From morfology analysis by using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), density and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) obtain that mixing with H2SO4 of 0.5M is better than the others. From the study of catalyst synthesis from natural zeolite it can be concluded that natural zeolite before activation has fragile structure meanwhile after being activated it was formed crystal structure. The best zeolite crystal phase was obtained from zeolite activated by using 0,5 M H2SO4 with glycerol conversion of 94.45% and triacetin selectivity of 4.01%.

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.

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 influence of P2O5on the properties of alite-calcium strontium sulphoaluminate cement was researched by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and petrographic analysis. The results show that the optimal content of P2O5is 0.3% and the compressive strength of the cement at 1, 3, 28d are 27.0, 59.1, 110.9MPa when the calcining temperature is 1350°C. P2O5mainly exists in the belite and a suitable amount of P2O5can promote the formation of C1.5Sr2.5A3and alite. When the content of P2O5is higher than 0.3%, the formation of C1.5Sr2.5A3and alite can be hindered. P2O5can enhance the hydration heat evolution rate in the acceleration period and the hydrate heat of cement containing P2O5increases slightly.

Numerous methods have been used to produce high purity TiC. There is no previous study has been reported on the formation using single elemental powders of Titanium (Ti) and Carbon (C) with addition Nickel (Ni) by tungsten inert gas (TIG) weld method. In this work, TiC was synthesized via TIG method by arc melting elemental powder mixture of Ti and C at ~5 second (s) and 80 ampere (A). The effect Ni contents on TiC formation was investigated. The mixed raw material was ball milled for 24 hours followed by synthesis via TIG method. The arced samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscope (SEM). It was revealed, that small amount of Ni additive to the metal powder allows the production of dense and tough TiC.

Phase equilibria were studied in the system Ni-Sn-Bi. Special attention has been paid to the identification of the recently found ternary phase. For this purpose samples were synthesized using intimately mixed powders. After annealing and quenching, all alloys were analyzed by scanning electron microscope and by X-ray diffraction. The results give evidences about the existence of a ternary compound with approximate formula Ni6Sn2Bi to Ni7Sn2Bi. Overlapping of some neighboring diffraction peaks of this phase with NiBi and Ni3Sn_LT is the reason for the difficulties related to the X-ray diffraction identification of the ternary phase.
