Desenvolvimento de nanocompósitos de alumina-carbeto de nióbio por sinterização não-convencional / Desarrollo de nanocomposites de alúmina-carburo de niobio obtenidos por sinterización no-convencionalLaís Ribeiro Rodrigues Alecrim 25 July 2017 (has links)
Nanocompósitos de matriz de alumina (Al2O3) reforçada com uma segunda fase nanométrica apresentam melhores propriedades mecânicas, especialmente dureza, tenacidade à fratura e resistência ao desgaste, quando comparado à matriz monolítica. O carbeto de nióbio (NbC) possui propriedades que o tornam um material de reforço ideal em cerâmicas de matriz Al2O3, como alto ponto de fusão e dureza, baixa reatividade química e coeficiente de expansão térmica similar à Al2O3, prevenindo o aparecimento de trincas que diminuem a resistência do material. As maiores reservas de nióbio estão localizadas no Brasil e o estudo em torno do seu aproveitamento é importante para o país. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi obter e caracterizar nanocompósitos de matriz de Al2O3 contendo 5% em volume de inclusões nanométricas de NbC obtidos por moagem reativa de alta energia, usando sinterização convencional, Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) e micro-ondas. Para isso, os pós nanométricos precursores de Al2O3-NbC foram obtidos por moagem reativa de alta energia, realizada por 330 minutos em moinho tipo SPEX, desaglomerados, lixiviados com ácido clorídrico, adicionados à matriz de Al2O3 na proporção de 5% em volume e secos sob fluxo de ar. Os pós de Al2O3-5%vol.NbC foram sinterizados por diferentes métodos: convencional em atmosfera de argônio, micro-ondas e SPS, usando diferentes temperaturas. Os pós precursores foram caracterizados por difração de raios X (DRX), microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) e medida de tamanho de partículas. Os nanocompósitos sinterizados convencionalmente e por SPS foram caracterizados quanto a sua microestrutura, densidade aparente em relação a densidade teórica e dureza por nanoindentação. Os nanocompósitos sinterizados por SPS foram caracterizados quanto ao módulo de Young por nanoindentação, tenacidade à fratura e resistência a flexão em três pontos. Os nanocompósitos sinterizados convencionalmente e por SPS foram caracterizados quanto à resistência ao desgaste por ensaios esfera no disco, usando esferas de WC-6%Co com cargas de 30 e 60 N e esferas de Al2O3 com cargas de 15 e 30 N. Os resultados mostram que a moagem reativa de alta energia foi completa e efetiva na obtenção de pós nanométricos, com tamanhos de cristalito iguais a 9,1 e 9,7 nm, para Al2O3 e NbC, respectivamente. Além disso, a desaglomeração, após o processo de moagem reativa de alta energia, foi eficaz na dispersão das inclusões de NbC na matriz de Al2O3. No entanto, não foi possível obter nanocompósitos de Al2O3-5%vol.NbC com alta densidade usando os processos de sinterização convencional (92-93 %DT) e micro-ondas (80-90 %DT). No processo de sinterização por SPS, os nanocompósitos apresentaram densidades próximas à teórica (99 %DT) e, consequentemente, melhores durezas e resistência ao desgaste, quando comparadas aos materiais obtidos em forno convencional. Os resultados obtidos na caracterização da resistência ao desgaste confirmaram que esta propriedade é influenciada por diversos fatores, como método e temperatura de sinterização, as esferas utilizadas como contra-materiais e cargas aplicadas durante o ensaio. Os resultados indicaram que nanocompósitos de Al2O3-5%vol.NbC sinterizados por SPS apresentam potencial para aplicações em diversos segmentos industriais, onde se exige materiais de alto desempenho mecânico e de desgaste. / Los nanocomposites de matriz alúmina (Al2O3) reforzados con una segunda fase nanométrica presentan mejores propiedades mecánicas, especialmente de dureza, tenacidad a la fractura y resistencia al desgaste, en comparación con el material monolítico de alúmina. Por otra parte, el carburo de niobio (NbC), como refuerzo de segunda fase, presenta propiedades que lo convierten en un material ideal para las cerámicas de matriz Al2O3, tales como alta temperatura de fusión, alta dureza, baja reactividad química y un coeficiente de expansión térmica similar al material de Al2O3, evitando así la aparición de grietas que disminuyen la resistencia del material. Actualmente, las mayores reservas de niobio se encuentran en Brasil y el estudio sobre su uso es un hito muy importante para el país. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de esta tesis es obtener y caracterizar nanocomposites de matriz de Al2O3 con una segunda fase del 5% en volumen de nanopartículas de NbC obtenidos por molienda reactiva de alta energía y, mediante la sinterización convencional, Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) y microondas. Para ello, los polvos precursores nanométricos de Al2O3-NbC fueron obtenidos mediante molienda reactiva de alta energía, durante 330 minutos en molino SPEX, desaglomerados, lixiviados con ácido clorhídrico, añadidos a la matriz de Al2O3 en la proporción de 5% en volumen y secado bajo flujo de aire. Los polvos de Al2O3-5vol.%NbC fueron sinterizados por diferentes métodos: convencional bajo una atmósfera de argón, microondas y SPS usando diferentes temperaturas. Los polvos precursores se caracterizaron por difracción de rayos X (XRD), microscopía electrónica de barrido (SEM) y la medición del tamaño de partícula. Los nanocomposites sinterizados convencionalmente y mediante SPS se caracterizaron microestructuralmente, se estudió la densidad aparente y la dureza por nanoindentación. Los nanocomposites sinterizados mediante SPS fueron caracterizados mediante el módulo de Young por nanoindentación, la tenacidad a la fractura y la resistencia a la flexión en tres puntos. Por otra parte, los nanocomposites sinterizados convencionalmente y mediante SPS fueron caracterizados respecto a resistencia al desgaste mediante la técnica de \"ball-on-disc\", utilizando esferas de WC-6%Co con cargas 30 y 60 N y esferas de Al2O3 con cargas 15 y 30 N. Los resultados muestran que la molienda reactiva de alta energía ha sido completa y eficaz en la obtención de polvos nanométricos con tamaños de cristalito de 9,1 y 9,7 nm para la Al2O3 y NbC, respectivamente. Además, la desaglomeración, después del proceso de molienda reactiva de alta energía, fue eficaz en la dispersión de las inclusiones de NbC en la matriz de Al2O3. Sin embargo, no ha sido posible obtener nanocomposites de Al2O3-5vol.%NbC con alta densidad usando procesos de sinterización convencional (92-93 %DT) y microondas (80-90 %DT). En el proceso de sinterización mediante SPS, los nanocomposites presentaron densidades cercanas a la teórica (99 %DT) y, en con-secuencia, mejor dureza y resistencia al desgaste en comparación con los materiales obtenidos en un horno convencional. Los resultados correspondientes a la resistencia al desgaste han confirmado que esta propiedad está influenciada por varios factores tales como el método y temperatura de sinterización, las esferas utilizadas como contramaterial y las cargas aplicadas durante el test. Los resultados finales indicaron que los nanocomposites de Al2O3-5vol.%NbC obtenidos mediante SPS tienen un gran potencial para las distintas aplicaciones industriales, las cuales re-quieren materiales de alto rendimiento mecánico y al desgaste.

Approche multitechnique des phénomènes de diffusion en hydrotraitement de distillats / Multi-technical study of diffusion phenomena in vacuum gas oil hydrotreatmentKolitcheff, Svetan 03 March 2017 (has links)
Dans l'industrie du raffinage, les procédés de craquage catalytique permettent la production de carburants à partir de coupes pétrolières lourdes, telles que les distillats sous vides (DSV). Pour optimiser ces procédés, un hydrotraitement préalable est nécessaire. Ces dernières années, les travaux conséquents de R&D ont considérablement amélioré l'activité des catalyseurs d'hydrotraitement. Par conséquent, le transfert de matière interne peut devenir limitant, il doit donc être quantifié.Une méthodologie utilisant la chromatographie inverse liquide a été développée afin de caractériser le transfert de matière dans des supports aluminiques de catalyseur. Le système a ensuite été déployé pour caractériser l'influence de l'adsorption, de la température et des précurseurs de la phase active. Dans des alumines mésoporeuses, le régime de diffusion est moléculaire pour des composés saturés allant des coupes essences au DSV. Ainsi, pour différentes alumines, des valeurs de tortuosité ont été estimées et corrélées aux propriétés texturales (porosité, surface spécifique et distribution en taille des pores). Ces relations montrent que les valeurs de tortuosité obtenues ne sont pas en accord avec un solide homogène vis-à-vis des propriétés de transfert de matière. Il y aurait donc une organisation dans la porosité des alumines.Un test catalytique en réacteur agité a aussi été développé pour étudier le transfert de matière en conditions réactives. L'impact de la taille des grains sur l'hydrodésulfuration d'une molécule synthétisée a été caractérisé et modélisé. Ces résultats ont été comparés aux expériences de chromatographie inverse avec un bon accord / The catalytic cracking has an important role in fuels production from heavy oil cuts like vacuum gas oil (VGO). To optimize these processes, a pre-hydrotreatment is required. The amount of work dealt by the research community in the last years has highly contributed to the enhancement of the catalyst’s activity. Therefore, the internal mass transfer can become the limiting step and it must be quantified.A methodology based on inverse liquid chromatography has been developed to characterize the mass transfer within alumina catalyst supports. The experimental setup was also used to study the influence of several parameters into mass transfer properties such as, adsorption, temperature, and active phase precursors. In mesoporous aluminas, the diffusion regime undertaken by saturated compounds, going from gasoline to VGO is the molecular regime. For different alumina supports, tortuosity values were estimated and correlated to the textural properties (porosity, specific surface area and pore size distribution). These results showed that the aluminas can not be considered as homogeneous supports given the estimated mass transfer properties. Thus, we assume that a hierarchical porous structure might be in cause. A catalytic test promoted in a stirred reactor was also developed to study the mass transfer properties under reactive conditions. The impact of the particle grains size into the hydrodesulphurization of a synthetized molecule was characterized and modeled. A good agreement was found between the data obtained using the inverse chromatography experiments and the catalytic tests

Approches analytique et expérimentale de la convection naturelle en canal vertical : Application aux double-façades photovoltaïques / Analytical and experimental approaches of natural convection in vertical channel : Application to double-façade photovoltaicLi, Yiqin 06 January 2016 (has links)
Dans le contexte énergétique actuel, le développement de l'énergie solaire passe par son développement à grande échelle en milieu urbain. Les solutions actives et intégrées telles que les double-façades photovoltaïques permettent d'une part d'envisager une valorisation de la chaleur et d'autre part de valoriser l'enveloppe des bâtiments en tant que surface de captation. De plus, cette configuration limite la perte de rendement et l'accélération du vieillissement liées à la surchauffe des cellules. En effet, les composants photovoltaïques sont séparés du bâtiment par une lame d'air et la convection naturelle développée dans cet espace favorise l'évacuation de la chaleur absorbée par les panneaux. Cependant, le comportement global d'une double-façade photovoltaïque est très complexe et encore mal compris. Cette thèse se focalise sur l'expérimentation du phénomène de la convection naturelle. Un banc d'essais, développé dans le cadre de la thèse de Daverat, modélise la double-façade par un canal vertical avec chauffage pariétal. Le fluide d'étude est de l'eau afin de s'affranchir du rayonnement entre parois et d'étudier le couplage conduction-convection. Le banc d'essais est constitué d'un canal vertical de 65cm de haut, chauffé à une densité de flux uniforme, plongé dans une cellule de 1,5m de haut remplie d'eau. L'écoulement est observé par des mesures de densité de flux de chaleur, de température pariétale et de vitesse, ces dernières étant réalisées par vélocimétrie par images de particules et par vélocimétrie laser Doppler. Deux configurations de chauffage sont étudiées : symétrique et asymétrique. Pour l'étude de la configuration avec un chauffage symétrique, les données expérimentales issues du travail de thèse de Daverat sont analysées par une approche zonale. Un découpage du canal est proposé et une analyse des ordres de grandeur permet de comprendre les observations expérimentales. Ainsi, cette analyse se focalise sur le transfert thermique aux parois, l'évolution de la pression dans le canal et sur les fluctuations, en particulier, sur l'évaluation du terme croisé du tenseur de Reynolds. La configuration d'un chauffage asymétrique est étudiée expérimentalement pour la phase de démarrage et le régime stationnaire. Pour la phase de démarrage, la caractérisation des premières heures à partir de la mise en chauffage de la paroi est réalisée en termes de température pariétale, de vitesse et de comportement bi-/tri-dimensionnel de l'écoulement. Un écoulement de retour de grande échelle est mis en évidence. L'impact de la stratification thermique externe du canal est également étudié. Pour le régime stationnaire, les analyses sont réalisées sur des données pour lesquels le régime est considéré établi. Les comportements thermique et dynamique sont étudiés et mettent en évidence deux états distincts. Des écoulements de retour sont également observés. Enfin, les influences du nombre de Prandtl et de l'écartement du canal sont discutées. / Under the current energy context, the development of solar energy goes through its large scale development, especially in urban areas. Active and integrated solutions, such as photovoltaic double-skins, allow both the heat recovery for building needs and the exploitation of building envelope as collecting surface. Furthermore, this configuration limits the efficiency loss and the acceleration of ageing process due to overheating of the solar cells. Indeed, in this configuration, the photovoltaic panels are separated from the building by an air channel and the thermally driven flow that develops in the channel helps to evacuate the heat absorbed by the panels. However, the global behaviour of the photovoltaic double-skin is complex and not yet fully understood. This study is part of a scientific project on multi-scale modelling and experimentation of BIPV components. It focuses on the experimentation of the natural convection phenomenon in double-façades. An experimental apparatus developed during C. Daverat's thesis models the double-façade by a vertical channel with wall heating. The working fluid is water so as to avoid radiative heat transfer between walls. The experimental apparatus consists of a 65 cm high vertical channel, with isoflux heating, immersed in a 1.5 m high water tank. The fluid flow is instrumented with measurements of heat flux, wall temperature and velocity. The velocity measurements are made by Particle Image Velocimetry and Laser Doppler Velocimetry. Two heating configurations are studied: symmetrical (same heat flux is imposed on both walls) and asymmetrical (only one wall is heated, the other one being adiabatic). For the study with symmetrical heating configuration, experimental data from Daverat's thesis are analysed by a zonal approach. The channel is split into several zones and a scaling analysis is conducted in order to explain experimental observations. Thus, the study focuses on heat transfer, pressure evolution in the channel and fluctuations, in particular, the evaluation of the maximum Reynolds stress. The asymmetrical configuration is studied for the transient regime and the steady regime. For the transient regime, early stage (first hours) is characterised in terms of wall temperature, velocity and two- or three-dimensional flow behaviour. A large-scale reversal flow is observed. The impact of external thermal stratification is also studied. For the steady regime, thermal and dynamic behaviours are studied and two different states are distinguished and characterised. Reversal flows are also observed. Finally, the influence of the Prandtl number and the channel width is discussed.

Functionalization of carbon-bonded ceramic foam filters with nano-scaled materials for steel melt filtrationStorti, Enrico 23 April 2018 (has links) (PDF)
In order to improve the purity of steel castings, the use of special reactive coatings on carbon-bonded ceramic foam filters was explored. Carbon nanotubes were dispersed in water by means of ultrasonic treatment, using xanthan gum to stabilize the nanotubes in suspension and control the rheological behavior. The coatings were applied by cold spraying and binding was achieved during heat treatment in reducing atmosphere, thanks to an artificial pitch added to the slurry. The coated filters were successfully immersed in molten steel for different times. The thickness of the first alumina layer generated at the interface was independent of the immersion time: concentration gradients through its thickness suggested that the formation of this structure is limited by diffusion. Investigation of the steel after solidification by means of ASPEX showed that the presence of the coating influenced the size as well as the chemical composition of the remaining inclusions. Nano-coated filters had the best filtration efficiency (up to 95% for alumina inclusions after 10 s), but longer tests resulted in worse performance. In addition, coatings based on calcium aluminates in combination with carbon showed an efficiency greater than 97% for steel samples taken directly from the melt.

Study of Synergy between Plastic Deformation Mechanisms, Tribo-oxidation And Mechanically Mixed Layers in Tribology Of Ti-6Al-4V Slid Against SS316L And AluminaAshok Raj, J January 2016 (has links) (PDF)
Alloys of titanium are highly preferred materials for their excellent strength to weight ratio but the tribological issues while using them has been posing challenging issues for the tribological analyst, which are still areas of active research. Ti-6Al-4V (Ti64) is the most popular alloy of titanium and our understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of wear and friction of this alloy is still not complete. Previous investigations related to the tribology of these alloys have suggested a synergistic effect of plastic deformation and tribo-oxidation. The present investigation described in this thesis explores the existence of one more mode, namely the formation of a Mechanically Mixed Layer (MML). The thesis examines the effect of these modes one by one and analyses the synergistic effect of these mechanisms, and also the effect of heat generation during sliding.
The tribological condition existing have been varied by doing wear experiments using Ti64 pins sliding against alumina and SS316L (controls MML), diameter of pin (expected to control debris entrapment and thus MML formation), tribo-system (horizontal disc Vs vertical disc, which is also expected to control debris entrapment and thus MML formation), environment (ambient and vacuum, expected to control tribo-oxidation) and sliding speed (expected to control interface temperature and thus plastic deformation mechanism and tribo-oxidations).
The division of the main chapters has been so made to present the findings spread over Chapters 5-8, with each chapter dealing with specific tribological test conditions. In each chapter, results from the tribological experimentations in the form of wear and friction are presented, together with the characterization methods which throw light into the tribological mechanisms. These characterization methods include Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDAX), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA). Wherever possible, the debris collected from the experiments have been subjected to morphological and detailed chemical analysis, and a feature which has not been explored much in detail by tribological investigators, but having a promising potential.
Experimental results from tribological testing when Ti64 pins slides against two different materials (Alumina and SS316L) in pin-on-disc tribometers under two different environmental conditions (ambient /vacuum) are analyzed. Each set of experiments looks at two different effects - (1) the effect of sliding speed on the tribological behavior while using a pin of a fixed diameter (all other parameters remaining the same) and (2) the effect of using pins of different diameters for a given set of parameters. Three different pin-sizes were employed (2.1 mm. 4.6 mm and 6.6 mm), the normal loads on these pins were changed according to the pin-size used so that all experiments were done at the same contact pressure (2.8 MPa).
By performing the experiments against the ceramic disc (alumina) under vacuum conditions, the effect of this plastic deformation is studied in isolation because the possibility of the Tribo Chemical Reaction (TCR) due to oxidation is inhibited and no MML was found to be formed due to poor compatibility of mixing between the metallic pin and the ceramic disc. For the low speeds/strain rates experiments, the effect of plastic deformation as influenced by the adiabatic shear banding is seen to influence wear which progressively changes to temperature induced plastic deformation and wear.
The situation is found to be different when we change the environmental conditions from vacuum to ambient for the same tribo-combination. The tests shows a reduction in wear rate with speed, and this is due to the oxide formations due to TCR as confirmed from the SEM/EDAX characterization. In contrast to previous experiments under vacuum, these permit the effect of TCR also to influence the tribological behavior.
The scenario changes when the alumina disc is replaced by a metallic one (SS316L) and tests carried out in vacuum, as the MML was found to be formed with this tribo-pair. Because of the mutual affinity of the materials in the tribo-pair, the wear damage is severe in this case and the flash temperatures crossing the phase transition temperature (~880oC) for Ti64 at high speeds. The growth of the β phase with increase in the sliding (temperature) conditions is captured from the XRD spectra of the wear debris.
Synergistic effect of all these mechanisms (plastic deformation, MML, and TCR) is permitted by conducting experiments with Ti64 pin against stainless steel and in ambient conditions. A comparison of the tribological response by presenting results when experiments are run over a range of speeds while using different sized pins under ambient conditions (and compared with similar results in vacuum) while using SS316L disc serve to demarcate the differences in the wear modes which are active/inactive depending on the tribological conditions. In addition a study incorporating the effect of frictional heating and its influence on the tribological phenomena is analyzed.
Main conclusions from the thesis are:
The wear resistance of Ti64 alloy when sliding against SS316L is found to be influenced by Strain Rate Response (SRR), Tribo Oxidation (TO), Mechanically Mixed Layer (MML) and the prevailing heat flux conditions at the contact.
The wear rates were found to decrease marginally with sliding speeds (strain rates) up to a certain speed, which is ascribed to reduction in adiabatic shear band intensity with increase in strain rate. Adiabatic Shear Band (ASB), which allows easy crack propagation, intensity reduces as temperature of deformation of Ti64 is increased. From the results it can be confirmed that the propensity for formation of MML depends on compatibility of the disc and the pin material. The contribution due to of entrapment and retention of debris in the contact zone also would influence formation of the MML.
The effect of frictional heating plays an influential role as it can affect the factors (TO, ASB, MML) governing the tribological response. The sensitivity to temperature, which is a marked feature of this alloy in undergoing softening, as confirmed by previous researchers, is reflected in the experimental results.
Since the main factor that triggers the micro-structural instability is the energy dissipation that accompanies deformation more fundamental research which can improve the thermal transport properties of this alloy, would be the future scope of work of this thesis. Also, the unique composition of the MML which offers high wear resistance under specific operating conditions opens up the possibility of new such alloy formulations, production routes and techniques which should improve the tribological response of this alloy.

Optical Properties and Application Of Template Assisted Electrodeposited Nanowires And NanostructuresAsaduzzaman Mohammad (9159935) 27 July 2020 (has links)
<div>Self-assembled templates allow the creation of many complex arrays of nanostructures, which would be extremely difficult and expensive, if not impossible, to realize using any of the other available fabrication techniques. The complexity of these advanced nanostructures, synthesized using the various template assisted electrodeposition techniques, can be controlled to nanometer scale range by tuning the structural properties of the template, which is achieved by adjusting its various growth parameters during the self-assembly process.</div><div>Electrodeposition allows the creation of arrays of various metallic and semiconducting nanostructures. Monitoring the electrodeposition conditions permit the creation of single crystalline nanostructures of a particular material, or the formation of heterostructures using multiple electrodeposition steps. This work demonstrates the template assisted electrodeposition of vertically aligned nanowire arrays, both straight and branched, of metals, and a direct bandgap, III-V semiconductor, indium antimonide (InSb), which has one of the smallest known bandgap of any material. The template assisted electrodeposition of metallic, and InSb inverse opal (IO) structures is also shown, and the fabrication of a novel zipper shaped nanostructure by laser photomodification of a Ni IO structure is reported.</div><div>The optical characterization of the various nanostructures realized in this work have been examined. The results from this work confirm the ability to tune the optical spectra of nanostructures of the same material with similar volume fill fractions by structural modulation, where the different optical responses can be attributed to the structural differences of the actual structure as opposed to the material properties of the solid.</div>

Popílky jako surovinová základna budoucnosti / Ash – the raw material base for the futureMarko, Michal January 2018 (has links)
This master’s thesis responds to the worldwide problem concerning in the search of new material base for the future usage. Solid residues from high temperature or fluid coal combustion could be one of many alternatives to the raw materials. The study deals with the analysis of side energy products produced by power plant industry in the Czech Republic. Based on the fly ash chemical composition, possibilities of aluminium and even iron and titanium separation were proposed and then proved in the laboratory scale. Extracted components were separated selectively using apropriate methods. Then a couple of sintering reactions leading to improvement the leachability of selected elements from the fly ash matrix were carried out. Appropriate input material modification by high-temperature sintering reaction combined with extraction process in the sulfuric acid solution leads in dissolution up to 99 % of aluminium from the fluid and high-temperature fly ash.

Extrémně rychlé slinování pokročilých keramických materiálů / Extremely fast sintering of advanced ceramic materialsTan, Hua January 2020 (has links)
Techniky rychlého slinování jako „Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS)“, „Flash Sintering“ (FS), „Selective Laser Sintering“ (SLS), „Induction Sintering“ (IS) a „Microwave Sintering“ (MS) jsou navrženy tak, aby účinně a předvídatelně kontrolovaly mikrostrukturu během slinovací proces. Spark Plasma Sintering jako jedna z nejmodernějších technik rychlého slinování a byla studována po celá desetiletí. V SPS má tři hlavní rysy: přímý ohřev elektrickým proudem, pulzní stejnosměrný elektrický proud a mechanický tlak. Mechanismy působení faktorů během SPS procesu však nejsou zatím jasně objasněny. Tato práce byla inspirována zvýšeným zájmem o techniky rychlého slinování a snahou o objasnění působení hlavních faktorů. Tato studie je rozdělena do čtyř částí: efekt elektromagnetického pole, efekt pulzního vzoru, tlakový efekt a přímý Joulův ohřev. Výsledky ukázaly, že elektromagnetické pole v SPS může být ignorováno, jak ukázaly simulace, a rovněž během experimentů nebyl nalezen žádný „efekt pole“. Na druhou stranu účinek pulzního vzoru byl významný, prášek TiO2 byl slinován pulzními vzory 12:2 a 10:9 s konstantním příkonem. Po aplikaci pulzního vzoru 10:9 došlo ke zvýšení velikosti zrna o jeden řád a ke zvýšení hustoty o 8%, zatímco množství spotřebované energie zůstalo konstantní. Při zahřátí s různými vzory pulzů se mění účinný výkon a kontaktní odpor indukovaný mechanickým pulsem, což jsou dva hlavní důvody, které vysvětlují měnící se energetickou účinnost. Vliv tlaku byl také významný, výsledky ukázaly, že použití tlaku při 900 ° C přineslo vysokou hustotu a malou velikost zrn, což vedlo k nejvyšší tvrdosti měřenou podle Vickerse. Interakce mezi tlakem a parami, vedoucí k rozdílné rychlosti přenosu páry v prvním slinovacím stupni, je považována za důvod pro rozdíly v mikrostruktuře, jako jsou mikropóry. Načasování mechanického tlaku může také podporovat difúzní mechanismy zhutňování během druhého slinovacího stupně, jako je difúze na hranicích zrn a mřížková difúze. Přímý ohřev, kdy se vede elektrický proud přímo skrz vzorek, vede k nízké měřené teplotě při slinování karbidu boru a jeho kompozitů, avšak teplota uvnitř vzorku je podstatně vyšší. Přidání slitiny titanu a křemíku do B4C významně zvýšilo finální hustotu, což byl hlavní důvod ovlivnění mechanických vlastností. Vzorek B4C + 1.0Ti (1 obj. % Ti slitiny) dosáhl nejvyšší tvrdosti 3628.5 ± 452.6 HV1 (16.2% vyšší než čistý B4C) s lomovou houževnatostí 2.11 ± 0.25 MPa m0.5. Zatímco při dopování křemíkem dosáhl vzorek B4C + 0.5Si (0.5 obj. % křemíku) nejvyšší tvrdosti 3524.6 ± 207.8 HV1 (o 13.0% vyšší než čistý B4C), vzorek B4C + 1.0Si dosáhl nejvyšší lomové houževnatosti 2.97 ± 0.03 MPa m0.5 (o 15.6% vyšší než čistý B4C). Velikost zrn kompozitů dotovaných titanem se oproti čistému karbidu boru byla o něco větší a mikrostruktura více nehomogenní. Naproti tomu se velikost zrn vzorků dotovaných křemíkem příliš nezměnila ve srovnání s velikostí zrn čistého karbidu boru. Sekundární fáze karbid křemíku byla dobře spojena s matricí karbidu boru a vykazovala pozitivní účinek jak na tvrdost, tak na lomovou houževnatost. Tato práce zkoumala vliv různých kontroverzních a nepopsaných aspektů na slinování keramických materiálů metodou Spark Plasma Sintering, což vedlo k lepšímu pochopení této techniky slinování.

Možnosti využití slévárenských odprachů / The possibilities of using of foundry filter ashSolik, Jaroslav January 2012 (has links)
This thesis explores the posibility of using of foundry filter ash for production of inorganic composite materials, that could be used primary in the construction industry. The thesis is divided into theoretical and experimental section, where theoretical section contain literature review of used materials and the experimental section summarizes the results of laboratory tests performed on tested mixture based on portland and alumina cement with various content of foundry filter ash. For comparison was also used another foundry waste - foundry sand. Prepared test bodies with dimension of 40 x 40x 160 mm was subjected to mechanical strength tests and the influence of amount of foundry waste on the strenght of the prepared mixtures was monitored. Next the thesis deals with possibilities of alkaline activation of foundry waste, where sodium water glass, sodium hydroxide and commercially supplied baucis L 160 component B were used as alkaline activator. These test mixtures were also subjected to mechanical strenght tests and the influence of amount of foundry waste on the strenght was observed too. The analysis of input materials were performed by XRF, TG – DTA – EGA and XRD powder diffraction methods. All strength tests were tested by testing equipment desttest 4310.
