Dissolution of eutectic com- pounds and partial melting of the ct-Mg matrix occurred during the reheating of these materials. Spherical semisolid slurries of these materials were obtained when the reheating temperature and isothermal hold- ing time were 550℃ and 20 s, respectively. The presence of SiCp in AZ91-SiCp not only caused lower liquid fractions of semisolid slurries but also resulted in higher values of flow stress during semisolid compression tests. Both AZgl alloy and AZ91-SiCp composite exhibited better thixoforming properties at high temperatures. Segregation of SiCp did not occur during thixoforming of AZ91-SiCp composite after an isothermal holding at semisolid temperatures for 20 s.2018 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of The editorial office of Journal of Materials Science ＆ Technology.展开更多

The influence of EDTA, TBAOH, solution pH and organic modifier on retention behavior of V-EDTA complexes was investigated. Complexed Ⅴ(Ⅲ), Ⅴ(Ⅳ) and Ⅴ(Ⅴ) ions can be separated and quantified in 5 min, with detection limits of 0.04 mg/L Ⅴ(Ⅲ), 0.07 mg/L Ⅴ(Ⅳ), and 0.06 mg/L Ⅴ(Ⅴ), respecti vely. The established method is applied to analyzing the hazardous waste of V-Cr-bearing reducing slag and results demonstrate 49.94% of its Ⅴ element to be toxic Ⅴ(Ⅴ). This work opens a new avenue for quick and accurate toxicity assessment of hazardous wastes containing multivalent heavy metals.展开更多

The influence of potential on the morphology, composition, structure and other properties, such as microhardness and corrosion resistance were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscope (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), hardness tester and electrochemical method. The results clearly show that oxidation potential plays an important role in the formation of coating's structure and properties. The microarc oxidation coating is smooth and white, which consists of two layers. The external layer is loose and porous and enriched in Al and Si. Moreover, its content of Al and Si increases with the increasing operated potential. While the inner layer is compact and the content of Al and Si are lower than that of the external layer. The coating is composed of several phases and the major phases are MgA12O4 and MgO, and the minor phases are Al2O3 and SiO2 when the potential is higher. The microhardness of coating is obtained the maximum at the potential of 45 V, so does the corrosion resistance.展开更多

The results indicate that plating rate decreases with the 3H2O has a bad effect on deposits quality, but 2, 2′-dipyridyl and PEG make deposits quality improve greatly. Low concentration of 2-mercaptobenzothiozole (2-MBT) increases plating rate and improves deposits quality, but decreases plating rate and worsens deposits quality when 2-MBT reaches 5 mg/L. The optimal conditions of this electroless MBT are 16.8 g/L, 16.0 mL/L, 13.3 g/L, 0.5 g/L, 5.0 mg/L and 2.0 mg/L, respectively, pH value is 12.75,bath temperature is 30 ℃. Plating rate reaches 9.54 μm/h plating for 30 min in the bath. The SEM images demonstrate that the surface of copper film is smooth and the crystal is fine.展开更多

Through the relationship between anode voltage and time and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) images of invalidated anode and normal forming anode, invalidation manner and mechanism of NbO electrolytic capacitor anode were discussed. The results show that, the main invalidation manner of NbO electrolytic capacitor anode is not short circuit but open circuit, which is different to that of traditional Ta electrolytic capacitor anode. The reason of invalidation is that anode oxide film whose thickness increases gradually penetrates the "connection neck" among anode powder particles, which leads to the open circuit invalidation of anode. Compared with Ta electrolytic capacitor,NbO electrolytic capacitor has better security.展开更多
