The paper proposes a method for extracting zirconium from its oxide by electrolysis of low-temperature oxide-fluoride melt KF–AlF<sub>3</sub>–Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>–ZrO<sub>2</sub> with a temperature of 750°C. For this purpose, the potentials for the electroreduction of zirconium and aluminum ions on a glassy carbon electrode have been determined by means of voltammetric methods. It was shown that the electroreduction of aluminum ions in the KF–AlF<sub>3</sub>–Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> melt occurs at a potential more negative than –0.05 V relative to the aluminum electrode with the formation of a cathode peak in the potential range from –0.18 to –0.2 V. With the addition of 1 wt % of ZrO<sub>2</sub>, cathode current on the voltammogram begins at a potential more negative than 0 V, and the cathode peak is formed at a potential of about –0.1 V. Similar results were observed in the study of the cathode process in the KF–AlF<sub>3</sub>–Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> melt with and without the addition of ZrO<sub>2</sub> by means of square-wave voltammetry. It has been suggested that, because of the lower bond energy, zirconium-containing electroactive ions are discharged at a potential that is 0.05–0.08 V more positive than the discharge potential of aluminum-containing ions. At a graphite cathode potential of –0.1 and –0.3 V relative to the aluminum electrode, the electrolysis of the KF–AlF<sub>3</sub>–Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>–ZrO<sub>2</sub> melt was carried out, and the elemental and phase composition of the obtained deposits was determined by X-ray phase analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive microanalysis. It was shown that, at a potential of –0.1 V, a deposit with 98.5–99.5 wt % zirconium can be obtained. This indicates a reliable possibility of selective extraction of zirconium by the proposed method.</p>","PeriodicalId":765,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Non-Ferrous Metals","volume":"63 4","pages":"379 - 384"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4322317","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}

It was established that as εh increases, the nature of plastic anisotropy changes slightly, and an increase in tensile strength and yield strength with a decrease in relative elongation is observed. In this case, the ultimate strength and yield strength anisotropy is practically absent. As the reduction ratio increases to 30–40 %, the relative elongation anisotropy increases, and its value in the rolling direction decreases more rapidly. However, after rolling with εh > 50 %, the relative elongation anisotropy practically disappears. Regardless of the annealing temperature, samples rolled with a higher reduction ratio have better strength properties. It was found that as the annealing temperature increases, the ultimate strength and yield strength decrease, and the relative elongation increases. In this case, softening with an increase in the annealing temperature occurs more intensively for samples rolled with a lower reduction. After annealing, the distribution nature of anisotropy indices in the sheet plane does not decrease and corresponds to the deformation type of textures for all analyzed modes. Moreover, the value of the in-plane anisotropy coefficient decreases in comparison with a cold-rolled sample. At the same time, processing properties of samples rolled with a higher degree of deformation after annealing are higher than those of samples rolled with a lower reduction, regardless of the annealing temperature.","PeriodicalId":765,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Non-Ferrous Metals","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74025367","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}

To increase the mechanical properties of aluminum alloys, modifying by Sr, Ti, and B are used. However, in the foundries, when using scrap and secondary aluminum alloys, the modifying elements are accumulated in alloys in the form of intermetallic particles that decrease castability. This is because of the modifiers have a short time effect and are not activated when remelting. Hence it is necessary to add the modifiers without reference to intermetallic particles that are exactly presented in the melt. This work investigated the effect of Sr, Ti, and B additions on A356.2 aluminum alloy fluidity obtained by vacuum fluidity test. It was shown that when AlSr10 and AlTi5B1 commercial master alloys are used (up to 0.3 wt.% Sr and 0.5 wt.%Ti), no fluidity decrease is observed. However, adding the same quantity of Ti with the homemade AlTi4 master alloy leads to a considerable fluidity decrease. With the help of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), the microstructure and phase composition of master alloys and A356.2 alloy after the addition of mentioned master alloys were investigated. Additionally, Thermo- Calc software evaluated the influence of modifier additions on alloy phase composition and phase transition temperatures. It was established that the influence of the modifier additions on the fluidity of the A356.2 alloy is connected with the shape and size of crystals that contained modifier elements in the structure of the master alloy. When the coarse crystals of that phases are present, these crystals’ incomplete dissolution is possible, inhibiting the free melt flow.","PeriodicalId":765,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Non-Ferrous Metals","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80851940","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}

Sv-AK5 (ER4043) welding wire of the Al-Si system was used as a filler material. Surfacing was carried out on a substrate in the form of a 6 mm thick plate made of AMg6 alloy (Al-Mg system). During surfacing, a typical two-phase structure of a hypoeutectic composition is formed in samples typical for Al–Si alloys with a silicon content of 5 %. Along the height of deposited layers, there is a tendency to structure enlargement in the direction from the substrate, which is associated with the accumulation of heat in layers deposited along the height. As welding arc current increases, α-Al-based dendrites and eutectic silicon crystals are refined with an increase in the density and a decrease in the microhardness of deposited samples. The increase in density is due to the reduced proportion and size of gas pores, as well as refined structural components. The decrease in microhardness is associated with the increased proportion of the soft phase (α-Al dendrites) and decreased quantity of hard eutectic silicon crystals. The average content of silicon in samples deposited in three modes is in the range of 5.46–5.91%, which corresponds to the chemical composition of Sv-AK5 (ER4043) welding wire. Higher welding arc current contributes to an increase in the tensile strength and a slight decrease in the offset yield strength and relative elongation. The features of changes in the mechanical properties of deposited samples are determined by of the specific cast structure of deposited layers formed under conditions of directional solidification in the direction from the substrate.","PeriodicalId":765,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Non-Ferrous Metals","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79410837","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 complex of atomic emission and mass spectral analytical methods is often used for the determination of impurities in REE-based materials in the range from 10–5 to 5.0 wt.%. However, the analysis of such materials, even using these modern high-sensitivity methods is a difficult task due to spectral and matrix interferences. Therefore, different preliminary separation/concentration procedures are needed to determine both rare earth and other impurities. This article reviews publications is devoted to preconcentration methods for spectral and mass spectral analysis of REEbased materials and, in part, a number of other analytical techniques. It was shown that the most common approaches are liquid extraction and chromatography. Sorption, cloud-point extraction and coprecipitation are also used. There is no universal method.

Lead and zinc concentrates, lead-zinc ore were used as initial samples for flotation. The content of galena in the lead concentrate was 74.7 %, and the content of sphalerite in zinc was 78.7 %. Basic collecting agents in the IМE composition were potassium butyl xanthate (PBX) and kerosene. A nonionic surfactant (NSA) was used for IМE stabilization. Casein was used as additives to main reagents to remove the negative effect of osmotic pressure during the IМE preparation. Casein was transformed into the active soluble form using sodium sulfide. The particle size in the inverse microemulsion was 12.38 nm. In flotation tests, the following options for feeding reagents to the flotation pulp were studied: IМE, IМE + frother, potassium butyl xanthate + frother. The T-92 reagent was used as a frother. PBX consumption as part of IME and in the traditional feeding was 26 g/ton. The results of laboratory tests showed that the method of feeding flotation reagents in the form of IМE leads to both an increase in the flotation rate of lead and zinc sulfides and an increase in their recovery into a foam product. In addition to the increased flotation speed, tests with the use of IМE in the bulk lead-zinc ore flotation cycle showed an increase in extraction into the ultimate concentrate by 10.8 % for lead, by 38.5 % for zinc, in comparison with the traditional feeding of reagents (collector + frother). An increased selectivity of the IМE effect in relation to zinc sulfides, in comparison with lead sulfides, was noted. The flotation rate coefficient of sphalerite is 7.8 times greater than that of galena.
