The effects of Fe stoichiometry and degree of order on mechanical properties of intermetallics Ni3Fe were investigated. The experimental results showed that the phase composition and the grain size of Ni3Fe alloy was independent on Fe stoichiometry. The Ni3Fe alloy with the normal stoichiometry had the lowest elongation in the ordered and disordered alloys. The tensile strength of Ni3Fe alloy depended on Fe stoichiometry of alloy. The effect of Fe stoichiometry on the mechanical properties of the ordered alloy was larger than that of disordered alloy. There were more point defects in lattice when the alloy stoichiometry deviating from the normal stoichiometry in the Ni3Fe alloy. The changes of the concentration of the point defects and degree of order altered the deformation behavior of the Ni3Fe alloy.
Mg(OH)2 (MH) nanoparticles were synthesized by hydration of the light-burned MgO at low temperature (70°C) with the additive of magnesium acetate. Mg(OH)2 nanoparticles have platelet-like structure and approximately 20-40 nm in thicknesses. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were applied to characterize the crystal phase, size distribution and morphology of the crystal particles. The effect mechanism of magnesium acetate was proposed
The effects of rotation and revolution speed ratio on the grinding kinetics of cement clinker were studied in a horizontal planetary ball mill. The grinding media and material were used in the tests: 20mm diameter steel balls, cement clinker of-2.36+2.00mm. The rotation and revolution speed ratio is 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 and 3.5. The results show that cement clinker obeys first-order grinding kinetics at different rotation and revolution ratio. The specific rate of breakage reaches the highest when the ratio equals to 2. γ achieves minimal value at ratio q=2 and 2.5. At the same time, φ and β values reach the lowest value.
Due to its buffer property, activity, absorbability and safety, magnesium hydroxide is widely used in environmental protection, pharmaceutics, pulp and paper industry, and as flame-retardant filling in composite materials. The hydrothermal synthesis of magnesium hydroxide at low temperature (< 100°C) needs only simple equipment and is environmentally friendly and energy-saving, so the process is promising and easy for industrialization. In this study, we have investigated the effects of hexamethylenetetramine and ammonia additives on the hydrating synthesis of superfine Mg (OH)2 particles at 70°C. Mg (OH)2 particles formed were of platelet shape and the mean diameter was approximately 200nm. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were applied to characterize the crystal phase, size distribution and morphology of the crystal particles. Different morphologies of Mg (OH)2 particles were formed in hexamethylenetetramine and ammonia solutions. The generation velocity of hydroxyl (OH-) was found to play an important role in the distribution and morphology of Mg (OH)2 particles.
Magnesium nitrate was used as additive for synthesis of Mg(OH)2 (MH) nanoparticles at low temperature (70°C). Mg(OH)2 nanoparticles have platelet-like structure and approximately 40-60nm in thicknesses. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were applied to characterize the crystal phase. The supersaturation degree of solution effects the size and morphology of MH nanoparticles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
