Proeutectoid ferrite with carbon content xo precipitating from austenite in a multicomponent steel at temperature T is supposed to be equivalent to proeutectoid ferrite with the same carbon content precipitating from austenite in Fe-C binary system at temperature T'.is described as the temperature difference of proeutectiod ferrite formation, and can be calculated from the Fe-X diagrams and the equilibrium temperature A3. By introducing Tf and basing on the thermodynamic model for Fe-C binary alloy, the driving force for phase transformation from austenite to proeutectoid ferrite in multicomponent steels has been successfully calculated. Through the Johnson-Mehl equation and using the data hem known TTT diagrams, the relationship between the chemical composition and the intedecial edenly packeter as well as activation energy for proeutectoid ferrite formation can be calculated. The starting curves of proeutectoid ferritic transformation calculated in this way in some hypo-proeutectoid structural steels agree well with the erperimental data.

Supposing carbon contents of ferrite phases in pearlite precipitating from austenite in multicomponent steel at temperature T and in Fe-C ystem at T' are the same the pearlite formation temperature diference, can be calculated from the FeX phase diagrams and the equilibrium temperature Al. Using Tp and Fe-C binary thermodynamic model, the driving forces for phase transformation from austenite to pearlite in multicomponent steels have been successfully calculated. Through the combination of simplified Zener and Hillert's model for pearlite growth with Johnson-Mehl equation, using data from known TTT diagrams, the interfacial energy parameter and activation energy for pearlite formation can be determined and expressed as functions of chemical composition in steels by regression analysis. The calculated starting curves of pearlitic transformation in some commercial steels agree well with the experimental data.

Optimization on technical parameters for fabrication of SDC film by screen-printing used as electrolyte in IT-SOFC

Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids

Sm-doped Ceria (SDC) electrolyte film was successfully fabricated on anode substrate of NiO-SDC by screen-printing. Some technical parameters for fabrication were investigated and optimized, including printing times, ink composition and sintering temperature. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) measurement was done to check the microstructures of SDC film and single cell. The parameters greatly affected the quality of SDC film and cell performance. The single cell with the optimum parameters exhibited an OCV of 0.82 V and a power density of 0.5 W/cm(2) at 600 degrees C. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

OXIDE METALLURGY-ITS PURPOSES AND PRACTICAL APPROACHES

Z. T. Ma and D. Janke(Institute of Iron and Steel Technology , Freiberg University of Mining and Technology , Germany)

金属学报(英文版)

Useder certain conditions, nonmctallic inclusions such as oxides, sulfides, nitrides and carbides are no longer harmful to sted service properties. With the new concept of oxide metallurgy, these properties can be improved by generating fine oxide inclusions which serve as heterogeneous nuclei for sulfide and fine ferrite[1-4]. A novel continuous casting (CC) process is expected to be created with the utilization of oxide metallurgy. This is also useful for the forthcoming technologies of direct rolling and near-net-shape casting. The main idea of oxide metallurgy consists of an alternative oxidation technology. It is based on steels treated by complex metals such as Ti, Zr, Ti-Zr alloys and rare earth metals. The selected deoxidants should follow the required conditions which are concluded in this paper.

Improvement of Ductility of Powder Metallurgy Titanium Alloys by Addition of Rare Earth Element

Yong LIU , Lifang CHEN , Weifeng WEI , Huiping TANG , Bin LIU

材料科学技术（英文）

Ti-4.5Al-6.0Mo-1.5Fe, Ti-6Al-1Mo-1Fe and Ti-6Al-4V alloys were prepared by blended elemental powder metallurgy (PM) process, and the effects of Nd on the microstructures and mechanical properties were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It was found out that the addition of Nd increased the density of sintered titanium alloys slightly by a maximum increment of 1% because small amount of liquid phase occurred during sintering. The addition of Nd shows little effect on the improvement of tensile strength, while the elongation is significantly improved. For example, the elongation of Ti-4.5Al-6.0Mo-1.5Fe can be increased from 1% without addition of Nd to 13% at a Nd content of 1.2 wt pct.

SYNTHESIS OF NANO-ZnO PARTICLES FOR ALUMINUM METALLURGY AS INERT ANODE MATERIAL

A.A.A. Saleh , Y. Fu , X.J. Zhai

金属学报(英文版)

Nano-ZnO particle was produced by evaporating zinc powders in air at air °ow-rate from 0.2 to 0.6m3/h. Nano-ZnO particles was formed by the oxidation of the evapo- rated zinc vapor. X-ray di®raction shows the powders to be ZnO with lattice parame- ters of a=0.3249nm and c=0.5205nm. The particle size is dependent upon the transit time from the source to the collection area. The size of particles was ranged between 81 to 103nm. The average density resulted was 4.865g/cm3. Normal ZnO and nano-ZnO were investigated to use them in aluminum metallurgy as an inert anode material. A certain amount of both oxides were molded subsequently inserted to the molten cryolite-aluminum oxide to investigate the corrosive behavior of both oxides. When the sintering temperature increased up to 1300±C, the weight loss ratio rose to 5.01%{7.33% and up to 7.67%{10.18% for nano-ZnO and normal ZnO, respectively. However, when the samples in the molten cryolite aluminum oxide were put for long time, the corrosive rate was found to be higher. It was found that the corrosive loss weight ratio of nano-ZnO anode was much lower than the normal one made from ordinary-ZnO providing that the nano-ZnO is more possible to be use inert anode material.

Experimental Study and Finite Element Polycrystal Model Simulation of the Cold Rolling Textures in a Powder Metallurgy Processed Pure Aluminum Plate

Liqing CHEN , Naoyuki Kanetake

材料科学技术（英文）

Ingot metallurgy (IM) aluminum has long been the subject and attracted the attention of many metallurgists and textural researchers of materials. Due to the introduction of large amounts of ex situ interfaces, however, the textures in powder metallurgy (PM) processed aluminum has been rarely reported. In this article, a pure aluminum plate was prepared $via$ PM route. The starting billet was first produced with uni-axially cold compaction and flat hot-extrusion and then followed by cold rolling processes. The hot-extruded and cold rolling deformation textures of the pure PM aluminum at 50%, 80% and 90% cold rolling reductions were studied by orientation distribution functions (ODFs) analysis. The finite element polycrystal model (FEPM) was finally utilized to simulate the cold rolling textural evolution at various stages of cold rolling. In FEPM simulation, the initial hot-extruded textures were taken into account as inputs. The results showed that typical β-fiber texture formed in pure PM aluminum with the cold rolling reduction increased till 80%, and there was not much change after excessive cold rolling deformation. Homogeneous slip is not the only deformation mode in PM processed pure aluminum plate at over 80% cold rolling reduction. The experimental results were qualitatively in good agreement with the simulated ones.

The microstructures of TiAl intermetallic compounds prepared by ingot metallurgy and centrifugal spray deposition (CSD) were compared by field ion microscopy and atom probe (AP-FIM). The samples used have nearly stoichiometric composition of TiAl but there is Mn addition for ingot metallurgy (IM) samples and Mn and Nb additions for CSD samples. The field ion image of TiAl showed two regions of ordered f.c.t crystal structure (γ-TiAl) and disordered α-Ti3Al, and the distribution of Ti and Al atoms in TiAl alloy showed a lamellar structure which was confirmed by AP profiles. AP profiles showed that the major constituent of IM TiAl alloy is γ-TiAl with some Ti-rich regions. The compositions of these Ti-rich regions are nearly Ti3Al and Ti2Al from the calculation of AP data. The sample of CSD has a similar microstructure as compared with IM sample. The effects of alloying elements (Mn and Nb) on the ordering extent ,their distribution, and their sites occupied in the lattice were explored for both TiAl alloys. But there are no obvious Ti3Al or Ti2Al phases as shown in IM sample. In addition, the distributions of Mn and Nb concentrations in the CSD sample have a characteristic of wave form.

Experimental and modeling investigation on SiC(p) distribution in powder metallurgy processed SiC(p)/2024 Al composites

Materials Science and Engineering a-Structural Materials Properties Microstructure and Processing

SiC(p)/2024Al composites were fabricated through the powder metallurgy (PM) technique. The mixing process was modified by using a high ball to charge ratio (BCR), which resulted in improved homogeneity of the SiC(p) distribution, as well as enhanced tensile strengths of the as-pressed composites. A small particle size ratio of aluminum to SiC(p) (PSR) and extrusion also improved the uniformity of the SiC(p) distribution. The improvements by the three approaches were quantitatively analyzed using a critical volume fraction model. The model demonstrates that a small PSR and a large deformation ratio of aluminum particles were two essential factors of improving the homogeneity of the SiC(p). A homogeneity analysis using the Dirichlet Tessellation method provided an additional explanation for the model. Crown Copyright (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
