Cellular spacing selection of Cu-27.3 wt pct Mn alloy has been investigated by laser surface rapid resolidification experiments. The experimental results show that there exists a wide distribution range in cellular spacing under ultra-high temperature gradient and rapid solidification conditions and the average spacing decrease with increase of the growth rate. The experimental results are compared with the current KGT model for rapid cellular/dendritic growth, and a reasonable agreement is found.

Cylinder-like in-situ Al/24Si FGMs were produced by using electromagnetic separating process. Si primary phase reinforced layer with volume fraction as high as 16 pct was formed at the outer region of the cylinder-like samples where the local hardness and wear resistance were enhanced remarkably. Moreover, both of strength and ductility in the inner region provided insurance of reliable strength for this as-cast gradient material. It indicated that general mechanical properties such as good wear resistance at the outer region and good ductility in the central part could be obtained with the optimized redistribution of the Si primary particles under the electromagnetic force.

To increase the casting quality of hypoeutectic Al-Si alloys, the effects of melt thermal treatment on the solidification structure of the A356 alloy were analyzed by a factorial experiment, in which the overheated melt was mixed with the low temperature melt. Experimental results show that the elongation ratio and strength of the treated samples increase remarkably compared with the control sample. The primary dendrite size reduces dramatically and the dendrite changes from columnar to equiaxed, with a little change of the secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS). Combined with the measurement of the nucleation undercooling, it is concluded that the solidification structure and refining effect are dependent primarily on the low temperature melt. The refining mechanism is believed as a result of the multiplication of the nuclei in the melt thermal treatment procedure

The detailed laser surface remelting experiments of Cu-31.4 wt pct Mn and Cu-26.6 wt pct Mn alloys on a 5 kW CO2 laser were carried out to study the effects of processing parameters (scanning velocity, output power of laser) on the growth direction of microstructure in the molten pool and cellular spacing selection under the condition of ultra-high temperature gradient and rapid directional solidification. The experimental results show that the growth direction of microstructure is strongly affected by laser processing parameters. The ultra-high temperature gradient directional solidification can be realized on the surface of samples during laser surface remelting by controlling laser processing parameters, the temperature gradient and growth velocity can reach 106 K/m and 24.1 mm/s, respectively, and the solidification microstructure in the center of the molten pool grows along the laser beam scanning direction. There exists a distribution range of cellular spacings under the laser rapid solidification conditions, and the average spacing decreases with increasing of growth rate. The maximum, λmax, minimum, λmin, and average primary spacing, , as functions of growth rate, Vb, can be given by, λmax=12.54 , λmin=4.47 , =9.09 , respectively. The experimental results are compared with the current Hunt-Lu model for rapid cellular/dendritic growth, and a good agreement is found.

Electromagnetic filtration primary Fe-rich phases (complex compound of AlFeSiMn) from Al-Si alloy melt containing 1.2 wt pet Fe have been studied by theoretical analysis and on a self-designed electromagnetic filtration equipment. The principle of the electromagnetic filtration is that the EMF (electromagnetic force) scarcely acts on the primary Fe-rich phases having low electric conductivity, which are then moved in the direction opposite to that of the EMF. Experimental results show that the primary Fe-rich phases are separated from AI-Si alloy melt and are collected in the filter while the melt is in horizontal flow. The removal efficiency of the primary iron-phases (eta) calculated is less as the greatest flow velocity of the melt (u(M)) and the height of the filter (2h) are larger, while it becomes larger as EMF, operating distance of electromagnetic force (x) and particle size (d(p)) become larger. It has been confirmed that the primary iron-phases larger than 20 mum can be removed efficiently by theoretical analysis and experiments. This new technique is high efficient and available for continuously flowing melts as compared with natural settling and filtration methods, which offer a Possibility for recycling high quality aluminum alloys.

Physical simulation is used to study the movement of nonmetallic particles in Al melt in electromagnetic field. It is found that the terminal velocity of particles in different Reynolds number range has different functions. By confirming drag force coefficient of nonmetallic particles with Reynolds number in the range of 0.2 similar to 10 and 10 similar to 25 respectively, two functions of terminal velocity for spherical nonmetallic particles have been got accordingly, which provide a theoretical basis for separating nonmetallic inclusions from Al melt in electromagnetic field.

In order to understand the unusually large value of zero-field splitting D for the axial Fe3+ center in a KTaO3 crystal, Zhou made two assumptions in his recent report [Phys. Rev. B 42, 917 (1990)]. In this Comment we will show that his assumption II is qualitatively reasonable, whereas assumption I is unnecessary and doubtful.

The layered ternary ceramics Ti3SiC2 and Ti3AlC2 are isostructural and can form Ti3Si1-xAlxC2 solid solutions combining the advanced properties of both compounds [H.B. Zhang, Y.C. Zhou, Y.W.

Wang, Strengthening of Ti3AlC2 by incorporation of Si to form Ti3Al1-xSixC2 solid solutions, Acta. Mater. 54 (2006) 1317-1322]. In the present work, the solid solutions of Ti3Si1-xAlxC2 (x = 0, 0.25, 0.33, 0.5, 0.67, 0.75, 1) are investigated by first-principle calculations based on pseudo-potential plan-wave method within the density functional theory framework. The results show that as Al content increases in the solid solution, all the bonds have weakened to certain extents, which lead to an unstable structure both energetically and geometrically. The calculated results are compared and discussed with the reported data for the Ti3Si1-xAlxC2 solid solutions. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The TiN films were synthesized with an alternate process of depositing titanium from a E-gun evaporation source and 40 keV N~+ bombarding onto the target.It is shown from the composi- tion analysis and structure investigations using RBS,AES,TEM,XPS and X-ray diffraction spectrum that the formed fihns are mainly composed of TiN phase with grain size of 30—40 nm and without preferred orientation,the nitrogen content in the film is much less than that in case without N~+ bombarding,and an intermixed region about 40 nm thick exists between the film and the substrate.The films exhibt high microhardness and low friction.

The assignment of the absorption spectrum of Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) made by Scott et al. [Phys. Rev. B 10, 971 (1974)] is shown to be incorrect and a new one is made by diagonalizing the complete cubic crystal-field matrices for d5 ions, involving spin-orbit interaction, given by Zhou et al. [Phys. Rev. B 44, 7499 (1991)]. The Racah parameters B and C, the crystal-field parameter Dq, and the spin-orbit coupling coefficient zeta are determined (in units of cm-1) as B = 783.3(530), C = 2928(3220), Dq = 1336(1300), zeta = 395 for octahedral Fe3+, and B = 606.1(705), C = 2696(2730), Dq = -1117.3(560), zeta = 335 for tetrahedral Fe3+, where the numerals in parentheses are the values adopted by Scott et al. Furthermore, the cubic zero-field splitting parameter a of Fe3+ in YIG is calculated to be a(oct) = 156 X 10(-4) cm-1 and a(tet) = 58.6 X 10(-4) cm-1. The value for a(oct) differs from the value of 189 X 10(-4) cm-1 found for Fe3+ in Y3Ga5O12:Fe3+. These results support speculations made by Geschwind [Phys. Rev. 121, 363 (1961)].
