Morphology of vanadium slags were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The mineralogical phases were characterized by energy disperse X-ray spectrometry (EDS) and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The obtained results show that spinels and silicates are the major phases in the vanadium slag, and V is concentrated in Fe x V 3-x O 4 and Mg x (V, Ti) 3-x O 4 . Both the spinel grain size and volume fraction in the slag with higher V 2 O 3 content are much larger than that with lower V 2 O 3 content. (Fe, Mn) 2 SiO 4 and (Fe, Mn)SiO 3 have a higher proportion in the slag with lower V 2 O 3 and higher SiO 2 content. The relation among cooling conditions and grain size and volume fraction of spinels is also discussed. It is found that low cooling rate and long holding time benefit spinel crystal growth, especially for the interval of 1200-1250 °C. Both mean diameter and volume fraction of spinels could achieve or exceed the industry vanadium slag when holding more than 45 min.
In recent years, the machinability of magnesium alloy is concerned more and more by the public. In this paper, a study on the cutting properties of magnesium alloy AZ91D when dry turning with kentanium cutting tools is presented. It shows the cutting force measured by a data acquisition system which is made up of Kistler9257B piezoelectric crystal sensor dynamometer, Kistler5070A10100 charge amplifier and computer. The effect of cutting parameters on cutting force was studied, and the experimental formula was built. The tool wear and chip characteristics were observed with KYKY-EM3200 electron scanning microscope and EDAX PV9900 alpha ray spectrometer, while the surface roughness of the workpiece was measured with 2205 profilometer. Results showed that the cutting depth was the main influence factor on cutting force, followed by feed rate and cutting speed . The main form of tool wear showed to be diffusive wear and adhesive wear. The feed rate had the main influence on chip form and the workpiece surface roughness, cutting speed was less effective, the cutting depth was the least.
