The TiC/Fe steel matrix composites were prepared by gelcasting technology of selecting the appropriate gel system and additives, the reasonable technological parameters. The toluene and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) were as gel system, oleic acid as dispersant. The rheological property, curing process and performance of the body were analyzed. The results show that the monomer (HEMA) content of 4.6wt% and oleic acid to 2wt% which increased the solid content from 50 to 54vol.%. The relative density of green body is 59.6%, the intensity is 28MPa. After sintering, the complicated shape was prepared.
Monodisperse iron nanoparticles were prepared by thermal decomposition of iron carbonyl at low temperature of 160 oC - 180 oC in kerosene. The synthesized iron nanoparticles were spherical and their average size was decreased from 11.2nm to 8.6 nm as increasing the reaction temperature from 160 oC to 180 oC, respectively. The synthesized iron nanoparticles are amorphous, but the surface of the particles is easily oxidized and to be spinel structured iron oxide by HRTEM.
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.
