Rhombohedral Bi(Mg0.5Ti0.5)O3-modified BiFeO3-BaTiO3 ceramics were successfully textured along the non-polar <100> direction using the templated grain growth process for the first time. The textured 0.90{0.33BaTiO3-0.67BiFeO3}0.10Bi(Mg0.5Ti0.5)O3 (33BTBF-10BMT) ceramics were fabricated by 33BTBF-10BMT matrix with BT templates. The orientation degree was investigated by various sintering temperature, and the 80% oriented 33BTBF-10BMT along the <100> direction was achieved at a relatively high sintering temperature. However, the orientation degree abruptly decreased at the highest sintering temperature of 1100 oC due to the large pores and low relative density. Based on the analysis of the unipolar strain measurements, the highest strain and d
33
* values were observed in the textured ceramics with 80% orientation. These textured ceramics exhibited approximately 0.3% strain and a d
33
* exceeding 400 pm/V, representing approximately 1.5 times higher values compared to the nontextured ceramics.
Electrochemical measurements of SUS316L and BNi-5 were carried out to investigate the corrosion resistance of the portion brazed with nickel brazing filler metals in the heat exchanger made of austenitic stainless steel. Corrosion potentials and galvanic currents of SUS316L and BNi-5 were measured in 0.06 mol/L sodium chloride and sodium sulfate solution at room temperature and at 80℃. The corrosion potential of BNi-5 in NaCl solution at 80℃ is lower than that in NaCl solution at room temperature, while the corrosion potential of SUS316L in NaCl solution at 80℃ is almost the same as that in NaCl solution at room temperature. The corrosion potential of SUS316L was nobler than that of BNi-5 in NaCl solution. The potential difference between SUS316L and BNi-5 in NaCl solution at 80℃ was up to about 0.4V. The galvanic current between SUS316L and BNi-5 in NaCl solution at room temperature was almost 0 μA/cm 2 , while the galvanic current at 80℃ was up to about 0.2μA/cm 2 . We found that the galvanic corrosion on couple between BNi-5 and SUS316L may be induced in the solution containing chloride ion at high temperature.
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.
