The effect of Ti and Sb elements addition on the microstructures and corrosion resistance of hot-dip galvanized Zn-11Al-3Mg alloy was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Electrochemical workstation, respectively. Results showed that the grain size of the alloy was obviously refined with the addition of Ti and Sb elements, due to Al3Ti phase as the nucleation substrate resulted in the transformation of Al-rich phase from dendrite to petal-like. In addition, the pitting corrosion resistance of the alloy has been significantly enhanced.

AbstractWith exquisite design and unique style, the painted sculptures of Tutang Buddha and two attendants Buddha in Jingyin Temple are precious cultural heritages of China. The sculpture of Tutang Buddha, which was carved from a mound and painted by ancient craftsmen, was rarely found in ancient China. However, due to natural and human factors, the sculptures were severely damaged. Obviously, they require urgent and appropriate protection and restoration. In this study, samples taken from the sculptures were analysed through multiple analytical techniques, including scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM–EDS), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy (OM) and granulometry. The analysis results enable us to infer the techniques used by the craftsmen in making the sculptures and provide a reliable evidence for the conservation and future protection of these and similar sculptures.

This article examines the influence of fly ash on corrosion resistance of refractory forsterite-spinel ceramics by molten iron as a corrosive medium. Fly ash in comparison with alumina were used as raw materials and sources of aluminium oxide for synthesis of forsterite-spinel refractory ceramics. Raw materials were milled, mixed in different ratios into two sets of mixtures and sintered at 1550°C for 2 hours. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis and thermal dilatometric analysis. Crucibles were then made from the fired ceramic mixtures and fired together with iron at its melting point of 1535°C for 5 hours. The corrosion resistance was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy on the transition zones between iron and ceramics. Mixtures with increased amount of spinel had higher corrosion resistance and mixtures with fly ash were comparable to mixtures with alumina in terms of corrosion resistance and refractory properties.

The Cu0.81Ni0.19 has been synthesized directly from elemental powder of nickel and copper by mechanical alloying. The alloyed Cu0.81Ni0.19 alloy powders are prepared by milling of 8h. The grain size calculated by Scherrer equation of the NiCu alloy decreased with the increasing of milling time. The end-product was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM)

The influence of the light burning temperature on the sintering property of nature dolomite has been investigated by two-step sintering process in the temperature range 1500 °C to 1600 °C. The resulting bulk densities and apparent porosities of the sintered dolomite samples were examined, and analyzing the sintered dolomite by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were performed. The results showed light burned at 850 °C for 3 h, the main phases of the dolomite with 3-5 grain size were MgO, CaO and little CaCO3, and then fired at 1600 °C,the density of sintering dolomite reached to 3.38 g/cm3, the apparent property was 1.2 %, the size of MgO grain up to 3.75 μm . However when dolomite light burned at 1050 °C for 3 h, the main phases were MgO and CaO, and then fired at 1600 °C,the density of sintering dolomite only was 3.30 g/cm3, the apparent property was 2.3 %, the size of MgO only was 3.05 μm .

In the present work, Al-Ca metallic compound was prepared in Mg-Ca alloys and the effects of Al-Ca metallic compound and different Al/Ca values on the grain refinement of Mg-Ca alloys were investigated by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, and the mechanism of grain refinement of Mg-Ca alloys was discussed. The results showed that the grain size of Mg-0.5Ca alloy was obviously reduced from 550μm to 230μm due to the addition of Al. Al2Ca phase existed in these alloys and its morphology evolved from granular to rod-like. It is regarded as the main factor for the grain refinement.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of nitrate and nitrite on the weight, morphology and electrochemical properties of phosphated Zn-%12Ni electrodeposite coatings. In order to investigate the phase structure and surface morphology of samples, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were employed. Also, to measure the corrosion resistance behavior of the coats, Potentiostat/Galvanostat test was used. The results showed that nitrite accelerator reduces coating weight and surface porosity simultaneously obtaining by phosphate solution. Furthermore, coatings being obtained by the nitrite accelerator had a higher corrosion resistance than that of the nitrate accelerator.

Al-Mn alloy coatings were electrodeposited on an iron substrate from AlCl3-NaCl-KCl low-temperature molten salts with anhydrous MnCl2 enhanced by the addition of NdCl3.The microstructure and properties of the Al-Mn alloy coatings were investigated, and scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and polarization curves were used to determine the composition, surface morphology, phase structure, and corrosion resistance of the obtained deposits. The results show that the surface coatings were smooth, and that the crystallites were dense and uniform when 0.23 wt% NdCl3 was added to the molten salt. An amorphous mixture of Al and Al6Mn was obtained. NdCl3 enhanced the corrosion resistance and increased the hardness of the single amorphous phase alloys. The pitting potential of the coating was approximately −1.04V, and its hardness was 392 kgf/mm2.

Corrosion behaviour of AZ91DSm1.0 with different preparation methods(vacuum melting and common melting) is investigated. X-ray diffraction(XRD), optical microscopy(OM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS), corrosion weightless experiment and the potentiodynamic polarization curve are applied to characterize the corrosion behaviour. Results show that vacuum melting alloy possess higher corrosion resistance than common melting alloy. This is attributed to the rod-shaped Al3Sm which was formed in common melting alloy will have certain fragmentation effect on matrix that can lead to defects.

Nanocrystalline nickel powders were prepared with grain size 'd' in the range 40–100 nm diameters through polyol method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used for characterization. XRD of the prepared samples consistently matched with standard fcc structure of nickel without any impurity peak. Detailed analysis and calculations using Scherrer equation for (111) peak revealed systematic increase in line width and peak shifting towards lower diffraction 2θ angles with decrease in nickel to ethylene glycol mole ratio. Different values of d estimated from various peaks of each sample suggested associated microstrains in the nanograins. Values of d estimated from X-ray diffraction patterns were compared with those obtained from atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy results, and discussed. Observed lattice expansion is explained, on the basis of a theoretical model of linear elasticity.
