Most additive technologies are associated with the manufacture of the product by melting and fusion of metal powder particles by means of laser radiation. Eutectic aluminum alloys of the Al–Ca, Al–Ce, Al–La, and Al–Ni systems, which have excellent casting properties, are supposedly promising for use in additive technologies. However, there is very little information in the literature on the effect of laser processing on such eutectic structures. In this regard, the work investigated the effect of laser radiation on the structure and mechanical properties of samples from eutectic compositions, namely, Al–8% Ca, Al–10% La, Al–10% Ce, and Al–6% Ni. To do this, the continuous laser modification of their surfaces was carried out. The level of hardening was evaluated by measuring the microhardness of the modified surface. The mechanisms of fracture of specimens under tensile testing have been established. It is shown that, in the structure of the modified surfaces of samples of four alloys, the distribution of the second component becomes more uniform compared to the structure of the base metal. In the Al–8% Ca alloy, the greatest hardening effect is observed, which, however, contributes to embrittlement under tensile stress. However, the modified Al–8% Ca alloy is of interest because of its increased hardness and therefore possibly increased wear resistance. On the contrary, laser modification of the surfaces of the Al–10% Ce, Al–10% La, and Al–6% Ni alloy samples provides a lower hardening effect, but increases their tensile strength with the formation of a ductile or mixed ductile and brittle fracture. The results obtained confirm the prospects of using alloys of the Al–Ca, Al–Ce, Al–La, and Al–Ni systems in additive manufacturing.</p>","PeriodicalId":765,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Non-Ferrous Metals","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"5114432","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}

A thermodynamic analysis of possible chemical reactions occurring in combustion wave is carried out. In the range of 298–2500 K, the reaction of ZrB₂ formation is preferred. Above 2200 K, the formation of MoB becomes more thermodynamically advantageous compared to MoSi₂. Estimates of the phase stability of synthesis products have shown that the phases ZrB₂, MoSi₂, and MoB are in equilibrium. The experimental dependences <i>T</i>_c(<i>T</i>₀) and <i>U</i>_c(<i>T</i>₀) are linear, which implies an unchanged combustion mechanism at <i>T</i>₀ = 298–800 K. Preheating leads to an increase in <i>U</i>_c. Similarly, the increase in the proportion of Zr and B in the mixture has a similar effect, which increases heat emission and <i>T</i>_c. With a minimum content of Zr and B, the interaction of Mo with Si with the formation of MoSi₂ by the mechanism of reaction diffusion is decisive. With an increase in the proportion of Zr and B, the rise of <i>T</i>₀ to 750 K does not affect the <i>T</i>_c. The <i>E</i>_eff values (50–196 kJ/mol) confirm the significant influence of liquid-phase processes on the combustion kinetics. The mechanism of structure formation has been studied. In the combustion front, a Si–Zr–Mo melt is formed. The primary grains of ZrB₂ and MoB crystallize from this melt as it is saturated with boron.

Pure silicon and compounds of titanium oxides and silicides have been detected by X-ray diffraction analysis in the contact zone. The problem of negative influence of the mold on the casting is solved by using thermochemically resistant monocorundic forms on an alumina sol binder and corundum filler. For casting according to meltable models, a composition of a refractory suspension with special additives has been developed, which will improve the wetting of models with suspension, as well as increase the strength of the mold. In the article, there are studies of sedimentation properties of suspension. A method has been developed for accelerated curing of sequentially applied layers of refractory suspension by drying in vacuum and subsequent chemical curing with a gaseous reagent. The formation time of one layer is reduced from 3–5 h to 20–30 min. Comparative studies of the kinetics of convective drying and dehydration in vacuum of alumina sol binder have been conducted. The process of removing moisture increases by 2–6 times once in a vacuum of 5–10 kPa. The method of X-ray phase analysis has made it possible to study the conversion of alumina sol during high-temperature heating. The stable phase α-Al₂O₃ in the mold shell is obtained when the calcination temperature rises to 1300–1350°C, and the strength of 9–12 MPa is also achieved when sintering additives are added to the suspension. Recommendations are given for additional protection of refractory ceramic layers after evacuation and drying: treatment of the last layer with gaseous hardeners and application of a polyvinyl acetal solution with a density of 1100–1200 kg/m³.

The Belovsky plant operated from 1930 to 2003 using zinc concentrates from the Salair Mining and Concentration Plant. After the shutdown of the plant, the clinker dumps were stored at the plant’s industrial site and were repeatedly washed with acidic solutions to isolate copper. This form of storage and leaching has led to the transformation of the forms of noble metals found in clinker, which currently makes it difficult to extract gold. The gold content in clinker is at the level of 2–3 g/t, which makes gold recovery profitable. The presence of carbon in clinker complicates the known methods of both analytical detection of gold and its recovery. A method is proposed for determining the forms of occurrence and content of gold, taking into account the fact that gold may be present in the form of free fine gold and gold finely disseminated in iron and its oxides, in sulfide phases, in the quartz-silicate part of the clinker, and in the carbonaceous phase. It is shown that, depending on the storage conditions and the previous acid treatment, the forms of gold in the clinker change, which affects the choice of the technological scheme for processing the material. The share of gold available for leaching is at least 40%.

The studies were carried out on the potentiostat using a three-electrode cell under conditions of intensive electrolyte stirring with a magnetic stirrer. At the initial stage, electrolysis was performed in the following modes: potentiodynamic measurements at a sweep rate of 1 mV/s in the potential range Е = –(700÷850) mV on a copper and aluminum electrode and Е = –(1000÷1150) mV on a zinc electrode. In the indicated potential range, hydronium discharge parameters at each cathode were calculated: Tafel slope, apparent transfer coefficients and exchange currents. Dependences of these parameters on electrolyte acidity were considered. Average values of steady state potentials were obtained, which, similar to the apparent exchange current, significantly depended on the cathode material: –923.1 mV (zinc cathode); +36.1 mV (copper cathode), and –603.7 mV (aluminum cathode) (AgCl/Ag). The effect of surfactants on all the kinetic parameters considered was shown. The order of the reaction with and without surfactant additives was determined. At the next stage, the electrochemical parameters of hydronium discharge on the copper electrode only were compared. It was shown that the electrochemical parameters significantly depend on the cathodic potential range where they are determined, and on the methods used for their calculation. It was noted that the process proceeds in the region of mixed kinetics. As the electrode polarization decreases, the hydrogen discharge mechanism changes, while the proportion of electrochemical kinetics will increase in the region of mixed kinetics. We suppose that the data obtained can also be of practical importance for the zinc electrolysis technology. The data obtained in this research on the electrochemical parameters of hydrogen discharge in a wide range of potentials on cathodes made of different metals as well as on the effect of electrolyte acidity on the behavior of surfactants during electrolysis will expand knowledge about the zinc electrolysis technology.","PeriodicalId":765,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Non-Ferrous Metals","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79592465","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}
