Synthesis techniques include hot extrusion, hot isostatic pressing, spark plasma sintering and friction consolidation. The effects of process parameters on the resulting microstructures and performance are discussed for each technique. Average oxide size, average grain size, and porosity are compared across techniques, as well as mechanical strength and ductility. Across consolidation techniques where temperature can be controlled, a low sintering temperature with a high sintering pressure is favorable for keeping oxide sizes, grain sizes, and porosity low. The use of yttrium and titanium for oxide formation has been evidenced to reduce oxide sizes, and tungsten additions have been shown to improve strength. Current literature suggests that the more mature hot extrusion technique produces stronger steel with consistently fine oxides, while other alternative solid-state consolidation, while promising, offer margin for improvement.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":605,"journal":{"name":"JOM","volume":"76 11","pages":"6252 - 6276"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142453110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reducing defects enhances electronic properties, decreasing device failures and increasing yields. A new algorithm is suggested in this study via computational modeling and simulation to ascertain the pulling speed necessary for silicon crystal growth with fewer defects. This algorithm can adjust the pulling speed dynamically to correctly position the boundary between vacancies and interstitials and allow enough recombination time during crystal growth before point defects reach the bulk defects nucleation temperature. Experimental validation is performed using polished silicon wafers taken from final silicon ingots, accompanied by laser particle count measurements. The results validate the effectiveness of the new algorithm in reducing defect formation during crystal growth. Furthermore, a comprehensive analysis of production speed, cost, and power consumption at different pulling speeds is provided. The suggested algorithm finds a middle ground between production efficiency and crystal quality, offering speed and cost optimization while maintaining minimal defect formation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":605,"journal":{"name":"JOM","volume":"76 11","pages":"6545 - 6554"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142452922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hydrolysis is suppressed by creating excess pressure of hydrogen chloride (HCl) in a dehydration apparatus. An effective technology is the production of slightly hydrolyzed bi-aqueous salts in solid form and their subsequent melting in the presence of HCl-containing gases. A simple and efficient way to produce the latter is the combustion of methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) in a mixture of chlorine and air in immersion burners. The kinetics of chlorination of Mg(OH)Cl with HCl-containing gases has been studied. It was found that the reaction rate was limited by the absorption of HCl. The operation of the apparatus for salts dehydration is considered from the point of view of the ideal mixing reactor model. Changes in the apparatus and technological scheme of obtaining magnesium from carnallite are proposed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":605,"journal":{"name":"JOM","volume":"76 11","pages":"6589 - 6599"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142452961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
