The results of mixing enthalpy analysis show that these four rare earth elements, La, Sm, Pr, and Ce, which have the large negative mixing enthalpies with Si, can be selected as modifying agents for eutectic silicon morphology. The element with the largest negative mixing enthalpy is Ce. Furthermore, the microstructures indicate that these four elements can effec-tively modify the eutectic （α）Al-Si crystals in Al-7Si alloy, and the most effective one is also Ce. Differential scanning calorimetry （DSC） results show that the eutectic temperature depressions due to the additions of modifying agents are the important reasons for the modification of eutectic （α）Al-Si crystals.展开更多

The system mainly consisted of a 5kW CO2 laser, an automatic powder feeder and a wide-band scanning rotative polygon mirror which can produce a linear or rectangular focused laser beam. Using this system, a Ni-Cr-Si-B alloy powder was cladded on the surface of type 321 austenitic stainless steel in order to improve its wear and corrosion resistance. The pitting corrosion, high temperature oxidation and wear tests were conducted in order to evaluate the properties of the laser cladded layer. The results demonstrated that the cladded layer can significantly improve the adhesive wear and pitting corrosion resistance of the substrate. Moreover, the cladded layer exhibited good oxidation resistance, which is almost the same as that of GMR-235D Ni-based superalloy.展开更多

The levels of high-frequency losses of the new alloys are P3/100k=612 and 670 kWm-3, P2/200k=880 and 973kWm-3, P2/500k=4300 and 4600 kWm-3, P0.5/1000k=860 and 920 kWm-3, respectively. They are significantly lower than those of the superior power Mn-Zn ferrite H7c4. The dependence of core loss on frequency and amplitude flux density has been analyzed. The practical applications of the new alloys to switching mode power supplies with the output power of 1 and 2kW were reported.展开更多
