The microstructure of the coating was very dense and the width of each splat of the fine alumina powder was approximately 10 μm. The average thickness of splats was approximately 1.4 μm, and this value was approximately 1/3 of mean particle size. The surface roughness of the coating was Ra = 5.2 μm and this result was approximately 30% lower than the surface roughness of other plasma-sprayed Al 2 O 3 coatings. The main phase of the coating was γ-Al 2 O 3 and also a little of α-Al 2 O 3 phase was observed. The fraction of α-Al 2 O 3 in the coating was 8.39%. Micro-hardness ranged from 1030 to 890 depending on the indentation load and differed little from commercial Al 2 O 3 coating but the hardness variation was relatively large. Nonetheless, it is expected that the fine-Al 2 O 3 coating will be used as coating materials because it does not require post-surface finishing after spraying.","PeriodicalId":18264,"journal":{"name":"Materials Transactions Jim","volume":"123 1","pages":"1303-1306"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73753363","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 cyclic stress-strain curves obtained by strain control tests are compared with the available data on Al to delineate the effects of the Al 3 Ti plates distributed with concentration gradient. Examination of the crack nucleation and growth by a replica method has revealed that introduction of the non-deformable Al 3 Ti accelerates crack nucleation but concurrently hinders the spontaneous propagation in the cyclic tests. Observation of the final structure by HVEM has further revealed that presence of the non-deformable Al 3 Ti induces non-uniform distribution of dislocations near the Al 3 Ti plate, causing build-up of stress inhomogeneity, especially on the Al 3 Ti rich side. On the basis of these observations, utility of the FGM specimens is discussed with a particular interest in the lifetime prediction under cyclic loading.","PeriodicalId":18264,"journal":{"name":"Materials Transactions Jim","volume":"7 1","pages":"1322-1328"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82759227","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}

From the experiments under a constant heating rate of 40 K/min, the following results are obtained. In the case of mixture pellet of ZnO and PVC, the chlorination of Zn in ZnO to ZnCl 2 by Cl in PVC starts at a relatively low temperature about 473 K without the formation of HCl. The chlorination is followed by the de-hydrochlorination of residual un-reacted PVC, also by the further degradation to lower order hydrocarbons, and finally by the evaporation of ZnCl 2 at higher temperature. On the other hand, in the case of ZnO-PVC double layer pellet in which ZnO layer is compacted at the top of PVC layer, PVC decomposition accompanying HCl formation starts at about 523 K, which is similar to the thermal decomposition of pure PVC in the absence of the oxide. The chlorination of Zn is not favored in this case of double layer sample. In the case of Fe 2 O 3 -PVC mixture, the de-hydrochlorination takes place at the temperature range of 513 to 673 K, similarly with the case of the pure PVC decomposition. With increasing temperature, the degradation of de-hydrochlorinated PVC residue to lower hydrocarbons and the stepwise reduction from Fe 2 O 3 to metallic Fe takes, place after the de-hydrochlorination. The reaction scheme of ZnFe 2 O 4 -PVC system shows intermediate character between ZnO-PVC system and Fe 2 O 3 -PVC system. The kinetic mechanisms of the reaction between the oxides and PVC are examined on the basis of the experimental results.","PeriodicalId":18264,"journal":{"name":"Materials Transactions Jim","volume":"22 1","pages":"1342-1350"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82683262","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}

Under natural immersion, the corrosion current of the Pb-Ca-Sn alloys is governed by the cathodic reaction, which involves the consumption of dissolved oxygen. The anodic reaction consists mostly of PbSO 4 formation and Sn dissolution. For the Pb-Ca-Sn alloys with 0 ∼ 0.2 mass%Sn, 99% of the anodic current is used in the former reaction. The formation of the sulfate, which is noticeably fragile and low in strength, can be assumed to be one cause for the serious corrosion damage to the low-Sn alloy grids in high-temperature sulfuric acid solution. On the other hand, the current for the PbSO 4 formation decreases linearly with increasing Sn content in the alloys at about 0.3 mass% Sn or more. For the high-Sn alloys such as Pb-0.08 mass%Ca-1.2 mass%Sn, the ratio of PbSO 4 formation to the anodic current is lowered by the Sn content, and the mechanical strength may be maintained at a high level to prevent serious corrosion.","PeriodicalId":18264,"journal":{"name":"Materials Transactions Jim","volume":"1 1","pages":"1307-1311"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90988652","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}
