The field-intensity required to achieve alignment decreased with temperature following the relation calculated from the Langevin theory, when the diamagnetic particles were free of paramagnetic ions. The rotational Brownian motion was considered to randomize the direction of the microcrystals in the theory. The above-mentioned temperature dependence was expected to occur for most of the diamagnetic oxides, since the oxides were expected to possess a finite amount of diamagnetic anisotropy according to a model proposed recently to explain the origin of anisotropy. The decease of temperature caused additional reduction on the field-intensity to achieve alignment, when a finite amount of paramagnetic ion was contained in the particle. This was because the paramagnetic anisotropy increased which the reduction of temperature. The doping of paramagnetic ion on non-ferromagnetic materials in the course of processing a material expected to reduce the field intensity to achieve magnetic alignment at room temperature. The above findings, concerned with the reduction of field intensity to achieve magnetic alignment, may increase the possibility of practical applications of the phenomena of magnetic alignment.","PeriodicalId":18264,"journal":{"name":"Materials Transactions Jim","volume":"63 1","pages":"2594-2598"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83439538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At first, the interfacial microstructure and its evolution process were analyzed in detail. The phase sequence at the interface changes with the bonding time showing five typical stages. In the first stage, a V 3 Si layer and V 2 N grains are formed. The V 2 N grains contact with the V 3 Si layer at 1473 K and below, while the contact is prohibited at 1498 K and above. The Si 3 N 4 /V 3 Si interface is metastable. In the second stage, a V 5 Si 3 N 1-X layer appears. In the third stage, V is annihilated. In the fourth stage, the V 3 Si layer is annihilated and VN grains are formed. In the fifth stage, V 2 N is annihilated. This evolution process of the interfacial microstructure agrees well with the proposed chemical potential diagram, except the metastable state of the interface. The increase and decrease behavior in the thickness of each reaction product interact with each other. The behavior of the V 3 Si layer is affected not only by the formation and growth of the V 5 Si 3 N 1-X layer but also by the formation of a V(Si) zone at the V 3 Si/V interface. The formation of the V 5 Si 3 N 1-X layer starts when the spatial gradient of the chemical potential of vanadium in the V 3 Si layer decreases to a certain value. The fracture strength of the joints changes depending on the bonding temperature and time. The higher bonding temperature leads to the higher maximum fracture strength. The maximum strength at each bonding temperature is achieved when the thickness of the V 3 Si layer is 2.0μm. The prolonged bonding time gradually reduces the fracture strength down to 42 MPa.","PeriodicalId":18264,"journal":{"name":"Materials Transactions Jim","volume":"113 1","pages":"2701-2710"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75971589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, a mixture of three kinds of plastic components (i.e. acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), polypropylene (PP), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC)) is sorted by using dry techniques i.e. without using water and hazardous chemicals. The separation process is characterized by the utilization of properties of triboelectric charge and density. Considering the relative position in triboelectric series (TES) and density of the each plastic component of the ABS, PP and PVC mixture, it is concluded that a satisfactory separation could not be obtained by either triboelectrostatic separation or air tabling alone. Thus, a system utilizing a combination of the two processes is developed. The triboelectrostatic separator is initially used to collect the ABS flakes as positively charged fraction and to produce a negatively charged fraction of PP and PVC flakes for further treatment on air table. Hence, at the end of the process, products of ABS, PP and PVC with a grade of 94.3%, 92.5% and 93.7% respectively are collected with a percentage mass distribution higher than 76.7% for all of them.","PeriodicalId":18264,"journal":{"name":"Materials Transactions Jim","volume":"87 1","pages":"2427-2435"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85207440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the range of formation voltage between 2V and 100V, porous film was formed in alkaline fluoride solution associated with high current density at around 5 V and at breakdown voltage. The critical voltage of breakdown to allow maximum current flow was approximately 60V and relatively independent on substrate purity. Barrier type films or semi-barrier type films, which were composed of hydrated outer layer and inner layer, were formed at the other voltages. A peculiar phenomenon of high current density at around 5 V, which may be caused by trans-passive state, was not observed for anodizing in acidic fluoride solutions such as Dow 17 and ammonium fluoride. In the case of AZ91D, the critical voltage increased to 70 V and peculiar phenomenon at 5 V was not observed, so that only barrier films were formed at less than the critical breakdown voltage. When AlO - 2 ion was added in the electrolytes, the critical voltage remarkably increased and current density effectively decreased with increasing AlO - 2 content. The passivation effect of aluminum addition in the electrolytes is more remarkable than the addition in magnesium substrates. The depth profiles of constituent elements showed that aluminum migrated into oxide film to reach near oxide/substrate interface. Atomic ratio of aluminum to magnesium increased with increasing voltage to attain 0.42 at 80 V and crystalline MgAl 2 O 4 and MgO were found in the film.","PeriodicalId":18264,"journal":{"name":"Materials Transactions Jim","volume":"101 3","pages":"539-545"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91471742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The specimens were immersed into solutions with high pH values, such as 10% NaOH, (1% NaCl + 10% NaOH) and (10% NaCI + 10% NaOH) solutions, at R. T. for 3.6 ks, and then heat treated in air at 673-773 K for 3.6 ks. Corrosion resistance of the specimens were evaluated by the time for occurring filiform corrosion, t f , in salt immersion test using 1% NaCl solution. Hydrogen bubble evolution at the early stage of the salt immersion test was suppressed by the corrosion-oxidization treatment, and also t f was prolonged by this treatment. On the non-treated specimen of AZ31 alloy, t f was about 1.7 ks, and on the specimen only heat-treated in air at 673 K without the primary immersion, t f was about 1.9 ks. On the other hand, when the (10% NaCI + 10% NaOH) solution was used for the primary immersion and then heated in air at 673 K for 3.6 ks, t f was prolonged up to about 35 ks, about 20 times longer than that in the non-treated specimen. It is considered that magnesium hydroxide formed on the surface of the specimen by the primary immersion treatment changed into magnesium oxide which protected the specimen from corrosion. Formation of magnesium oxide on both the surfaces of the specimens treated by the corrosion-oxidization method and heated without the primary immersion was confirmed by TEM observations. Microstructures in both the oxide layers were different one another, cohesion of the oxide formed directly from metallic magnesium seemed to be weak compared with that formed from magnesium hydroxide.","PeriodicalId":18264,"journal":{"name":"Materials Transactions Jim","volume":"7 1","pages":"511-517"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89658812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because the Ce solubility in the U-23 mol%Zr alloy is less than I mol% in this temperature range, Ce-rich precipitates were formed and dispersed in the U-23mol%Zr-1.3mol%Ce alloy. The concentration profiles of Ce in the U-23mol%Zr/U-23mol%Zr-1.3 mol%Ce couples were analyzed based on the theoretical solutions of the one-dimensional diffusion equation for the semi-infinite diffusion couple, either side of which is supersaturated with the diffusing substance. From this analysis, the diffusion coefficients of Ce in the U-23 mol%Zr solid solution (y-U, β-Zr) were estimated to be ∼2 x 10 -13 m 2 /s at 1123K and ∼6 x 10 -14 m 2 /s at 1023 K, which are between the values extrapolated from the reported self-diffusion coefficients of γ-U and β-Zr.

The number of cycles to failure for the SUS-316L stainless steel and Co-Cr-Mo cast alloy increased as the maximum stress decreased. The fatigue strengths of the SUS-316L stainless steel and Co-Cr-Mo cast alloy at 1 × 10 8 cycles were much lower than those of the titanium alloys. The fatigue strengths of the vanadium-free Ti-6Al-7Nb and Ti-6Al-2Nb-1Ta alloys at 1 x 10 8 cycles were approximately 600 and 720 MPa, respectively. The fatigue strengths of the Ti-15Zr-4Nb-4Ta alloys annealed at 700°C for 2 h were about 700 MPa at 1 x 10 8 cycles, and were not significantly affected by varying the frequency from 2 to 10 Hz. Aging of the Ti-15Zr-4Nb-4Ta alloy containing 0.2%O and 0.05%N after solution treatment increased its ultimate tensile strength to 1150 MPa, and the total elongation and reduction in the area were 15 and 50%, respectively. The fatigue strength of the Ti-15Zr-4Ta-4Nb alloy treated in this way was 880 MPa under sine wave loading of 10 Hz at I x 10 8 cycles.
