The computational thermodynamic modelling of the phase equilibria pertaining to the IiO₂ - Ti₂O₃ - FeO slag systemFourie, David Johannes 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MScEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2004. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: During the production of pure Ti02 for the pigment industry, ilmenite, containing 35 -
60 % Ti02, is reduced to high titania slag, containing 85 - 95 % Ti02 and pig iron.
These ilmenite smelters are operated in very tight operating windows. Over reducing
the slag may lead to the formation of TiC and reducing much of the Ti02 to Th03.
According to Namakwa Sands furnace operators, this does not only affect the grade of
the product, but it can cause slag foaming and furnace eruptions. In under reducing
conditions, the liquid slag is fluxed by the FeO and may corrode the furnace lining
and consequently lead to run-outs. The reducing conditions in the furnace are not
only controlled by carbon addition, but also by temperature. Standard practise in
industrial ilmenite smelters is to operate the furnace with a slag freeze lining to
protect the refractory lining from chemical and physical attack by the slag. It is
therefore clear that it is of great importance to be able to predict the slag liquidus
temperature at different compositions. This can help the operator to avoid dangerous
operating conditions.
Over the past few decades, a number of solution models have been developed to
describe non-ideal solutions. With the rapid increase in computer power, these
models became more valuable and practical to use in advanced control and decisionsupport.
In this study, some of the better-known models are discussed and evaluated
for the Ti02 - Th03 - FeO system, based on a critical review of properties and
measurements published in literature.
Two of these models, the "modified quasi-chemical" model and the "cell" model were
chosen to be applied to the high-titania slag system. Both these models are based on
statistical thermodynamics with some differences in the initial assumptions. In this
study, the model parameters for the cell model were regressed from experimental
data.
The high-titania slag produced, consists mainly of titanium in different oxidation
states and FeO, placing its composition inside the Ti02 - Th03 - FeO ternary system.
Reliable experimental data for this system are very limited. All three binary systems contained in the Ti02 - ThO) - FeO system were considered, namely FeO - Ti02,
Ti02 - ThO) and FeO - ThO). Only liquidus data for these three binaries were used
to regress the model parameters. Accuracy of the models was determined by
calculating the root mean square (RMS) error between the experimental data point
and the value calculated using the model and the newly determined model parameters.
These errors corresponded weil with the reported experimental error of the datasets
for both the models and all the binary systems.
Due to the fact that this study focussed on the liquidus surface of the system, the
results were also plotted in the form of binary phase diagrams and ternary liquidus
isotherms. The cell model uses only binary interaction parameters to describe the
ternary system. These parameters are not expanded to higher order polynomials,
which makes this model more robust, but also less accurate than other models such as
the modified quasi-chemical model. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Tydens die produksie van suiwer Ti02 vir die pigmentbedryf, word ilmeniet, wat 35
tot 60 % Ti02 bevat, gereduseer tot 'n hoë titaan slak, met 'n Ti02 inhoud van 85 tot
95 % Ti02, en potyster. Hierdie ilmeniet smeltoonde word binne baie nou
bedryfskondisies beheer. Oor-redusering van die slak kan lei tot the formasie van TiC
en die redusering van Ti02 tot Th03. Dit affekteer nie net die produk se kwaliteit nie,
maar kan volgens Namakwa Sands oond operateurs ook slak skuiming en ontploffings
tot gevolg hê. Gedurende onder-reduserende omstandighede in die oond, word die
vloeibaarheid van die slak verhoog deur die hoër FeO inhoud in die slak. Dit maak
die slak meer korrosief en kan lei tot faling van die vuurvaste stene. Die mate van
redusering in die oond word nie net bepaal deur die toevoeging van koolstof nie, maar
ook deur die temperatuur van die slak. Dit is 'n standaard praktyk van die industrie
om die oond te bedryf met 'n gevriesde slak laag om sodoende die vuurvaste stene te
beskerm teen chemiese en fisiese aanval van die slak. Dit is dus duidelik dat dit baie
belangrik is om die slak se smeltpunt by verskillende samestellings te kan voorspel.
Dit kan die operateur help om die oond binne veilige bedryfskondisies te hou.
'n Hele aantaloplossingsmodelle is oor die afgelope paar dekades ontwikkel vir die
beskrywing van nie-ideale oplossings. Hierdie modelle het oor die afgelope paar jaar
baie toegeneem in praktiese waarde as gevolg van die snelle toename in
rekenaarkapasiteit en -spoed. Dit het veral groot waarde in gevorderde beheerstelsels
en besluitneming steun. Sommige van die meer bekende modelle word in hierdie
studie bespreek en ge-evalueer vir die Ti02 - Th03 - FeO stelsel, gebaseer op 'n
kritiese evaluasie van eienskappe en eksperimentele data gepubliseer in die literatuur.
Twee van hierdie modelle, die "gemodifiseerde kwasi-chemiese" model en die "sel"
model, is gebruik om die hoë titaan slak stelsel te beskryf. Beide hierdie modelle is
gebaseer op statistiese termodinamika en het klein verskille m.b.t. die aanvanklike
aannames. Die model veranderlikes vir die sel model is in hierdie studie afgelei vanaf
die eksperimentele data. Die hoë titaan slak wat tydens hierdie proses geproduseer word, bestaan hoofsaaklik
uit FeO en titaan in sy verskillende oksidasie toestande. Dit plaas die samestelling
van die slak reg binne die Ti02 - Th03 - FeO temêre stelsel. Betroubare
eksperimentele data vir hierdie stelsel is baie beperk. In hierdie studie word daar
gekyk al drie binêre stelsels binne die Ti02 - Th03 - FeO temêre stelsel, naamlik:
FeO - Ti02, Ti02 - Th03 en FeO - Th03. Slegs die smeltpunt temperatuur data vir
hierdie twee binêre is gebruik in die afskatting van die model veranderlikes. Die
akkuraatheid van die modelle is bepaal deur die wortel van die gemiddelde kwadraat
van die fout tussen die eksperimentele waardes en die berekende waardes te bepaal.
Albei die modelle het 'n relatiewe klein fout in vergelyking met die geraporteerde
eksprimentele fout gehad vir al die binêre stelsels.
Hierdie studie het gefokus op die smeltpunt temperatuur van die slak en die resultate
is daarom ook in die vorm van binêre fasediagramme en isoterme projeksies op die
temêre fasediagramme gestip. Die "sel" model gebruik slegs binêre interaksie
parameters om die temêre stelsel te beskryf Hierdie parameters word vir die "sel"
model nie uitgebrei tot hoër order polinome en dit maak die "sel" model meer robuust,
maar minder akkuraat as ander modelle soos byvoorbeeld die "kwasi-chemiese"
model.

Análise histomorfométrica dos implantes de titânio grau 4 e grau 5: estudo experimental em coelhos / Histomorphometric evaluation of titanium implants grade 4 and grade 5: experimental study in rabbitsMiranda, Aline Baia 28 May 2013 (has links)
Os implantes dentários de titânio comercialmente puro (Ticp) grau 4 e os de titânio-alumínio-vanádio (Ti6Al4V) grau 5, possuem boas propriedades mecânicas. No entanto, algumas situações clínicas com restrição de espessura óssea impedem a utilização dos implantes com 3.75mm de diâmetro tradicionalmente fabricados em titânio 4 e que apresentam resistência mecânica testada em profusão. Como a liga de grau 5 possui superior resistência à tração e à fadiga, este estudo objetiva analisar a resposta óssea do titânio grau 4 e grau 5 em implantes curtos e estreitos através da análise do contato osso-implante (BIC) e da área de neoformação óssea. Para este fim, o presente estudo utilizou 15 coelhos da raça New Zealand, que receberam um total de trinta implantes divididos em suas tíbias direita e esquerda. Os implantes de grau 4 e de grau 5, com dimensões de 3.5x8mm e 2.9x7mm, respectivamente, foram fornecidos pela empresa NEODENT® (Curitiba-Brasil). Neste estudo, dois grupos foram formados, um com implantes de titânio grau 4 e outro com implantes de titânio grau 5, ambos contendo quinze implantes curtos e estreitos. Cortes histológicos foram realizados após duas semanas de osseointegração. Mensurações no analisador de imagens ImageJ foram feitas para verificar o BIC e a área de osso neoformado. Para a análise dos dados estatísticos, utilizou-se o teste t de Student para amostras independentes com nível de significância de p<0.05. Os resultados mostraram que não houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre os grupos nos dois tipos de análises. A média dos valores de BIC do titânio grau 4 obteve o valor médio mais alto de 56,53%, variando de 95,74% a 9,4%. O grupo de titânio grau 5 apresentou média de 50,63%, variando entre 84,3% e 13,12%. Com base em imagens com fluorescência, realizou-se análise da área óssea. O grupo de titânio grau 5 apresentou valor de 46,3% (variando entre 79% a 14,21%) em fluorescência, número ligeiramente maior do que o verificado no grupo de titânio grau 4 (44,73%, com variância entre 78,93% e 18,36%). Com isso, concluiu-se que implantes de titânio de grau 4 e de grau 5 obtiveram respostas biológicas equivalentes, quando avaliados o BIC e a área óssea neoformada. / Commercially pure titanium implants (Ticp) of degree IV and of titanium-aluminum-vanadium degree V have good mechanical properties. However some clinical situations with limited bone thickness preclude the use of traditionally implants with 3.75mm diameter made from titanium IV and present strength tested in profusion. In addition, degree V alloy shows higher resistance to traction and fatigue, this study aims to analyze the bone response to degree IV and degree V titanium in short and narrow implants with the same surface treatment through the analysis of the bone-to-implant contact (BIC) and the area of the new bone formation. For such purpose, this study used15 New Zealand white rabbits which had a total of thirty implants inserted in their right and left tibiae. Both degree IV and degree V implants, measuring 3.5x8mm and 2.9x7mm, respectively, were provided by dental implant manufacturer NEODENT® (Curitiba-Brazil). The implants were allocated into two distinct groups. Fifteen short and narrow implants of degree IV were utilized in a group, whereas fifteen short and narrow implants of degree V were employed in the other group. Histological sections samples were carried out after a two-week period of osseointegration. Subsequently, measurements were calculated using ImageJ software in order to verify the BIC and the area of the newly grown bone. Analysis of statistical data of independent samples with significance level p<0.05 was carried out via Student\'s t-test. Results showed no statistically substantial difference between both groups regarding both measurement activities. The media values BIC for the degree IV titanium group reached the highest average value of 56,53%, varying from 95,74% to 9,4%. The degree V titanium group averaged 50,63%, oscillating between 84,3% and 13,12%. The bone areas were analyzed based on images with fluorescence. The degree V titanium group reached the percentage of 46,3% (varying from 79% to 14,21%) in fluorescence whereas the degree IV titanium group had a percentage of 44,73% (varying between 78,93% and 18,36%). Therefore, both degree IV and degree V implants had equivalent biological responses based on the analysis of BIC and newly grown bone areas.

Fundamental study of immiscible Ti-Mg system : ball milling experiments and ab initio modellingPhasha, Maje Jacob January 2013 (has links)
Thesis (Ph. D. (Physics)) -- University of Limpopo, 2013. / A combination of ball milling experiments and ab initio calculations in this study successfully yielded results that shed light into understanding the fundamental basis for immiscibility and the concept of mechanical alloying in Ti-Mg system. In addition, the conditions for achieving extended solid solubility in elements that usually do not dissolve in each other under thermodynamic equilibrium conditions have been predicted using ultrasoft (US) and norm-conserving (NC) pseudopotentials. Hydostatic pressures required to stabilize ordered phases were determined. Our new systematic representation of martensitic transformation (MT) paths as a result of dislocation necessary to induce α→FCC, α→BCC and α→ω phase transitions led to, for the first time, a direct determination of CRSS and tensile strength for Ti and Mg HCP metals. Furthermore, a new ω phase which is less stable than α phase at 0 GPa is proposed. Based on this phase, α→ω deformation path which yielded the onset of uniaxial transition pressure of 4.167 GPa is reported.
Attempts of synthesizing Ti-Mg solid solutions by means of Simoloyer high energy ball mill were not successful; however, nanocrystalline Mg-TiH2-x composites were instead formed. These results were attributed to quick formation of metastable Ti hydrides or cold welding at early stages of BM prior to alloying, thus serving as possible obstacles to forming such solid solutions. The deformed Ti crystals adsorbed H+ from the stearic acid leading to formation of metastable orthorhombic TiH2-x phase which later transformed to a tetragonal TiH2-x or even cubic TiH2 when stoichiometric amount of H2 had been adsorbed. Although the yield was significantly lower, the product of milling a mixture of coarse Mg and fine Ti particles was comprised of Ti particles adhering around ductile Mg particles in a core shell manner. The adhesion of the fine hard titanium particles on the surface of the large ductile magnesium particles impeded the further plastic deformation of the titanium particles, thus suppressing the formation of the faults necessary for mechanical alloying.
Nanocrystalline Ti powder of about 40 nm was produced by 30h ball milling. During BM of Ti powder, solid-state transformation from HCP to FCC occurred in the presence of PCA with lattice parameters of 4.242 and 4.240 Å after 24 and 30 h, respectively,
v
due to protonation. When Ti powder was milled in the absence of PCA, no phase transformation was observed for both uninterrupted and interrupted milling cycles. In addition, nanocrystalline Mg powder with crystallite size varying between 60 and below 40 nm was produced by ball milling. However, no solid-state transformation took place even if the powder was milled for 90 h. Therefore, we evidently report for the first time that the interstitial H+ is the driving force for α → FCC phase transformation in ball milled Ti powder.
Our theoretical results predicted the ω phase to be the ground-state structure of Ti at 0K and P=0 GPa, in support of other previously reported calculations. We noticed that the stability of the α phase was surpassed by that of the FCC lattice at ~ 100 GPa, corresponding with sudden sharp rise in c/a ratio, hence attributed to α → FCC phase transition. Similar results were obtained for Mg at 50 GPa, although in this case the crossing of lattice energies coincided with minimum c/a. However, using our proposed HCP→BCC MT path mechanism for Mg, it is evident that the minimum c/a at 50 GPa corresponds to a change in the preferred deformation slip from basal (below 10 GPa) to prismatic rather than phase transition. Nonetheless, the proposed MT model predicts that both elemental Ti and Mg prefer to deform via prismatic slip as indicated by lower shear stress as well as CRSS values compared to those calculated for basal slip.
Theoretical findings from ab initio calculations on hypothetical ordered Ti-Mg phases indicated absence of intermetallic phases at equilibrium conditions, in agreement with experimental data. However, the formation becomes possible at 80 GPa and above with respect to c/a ratio but requires at least 200 GPa with respect to stable lattices. Using calculated heats of formation, elasticity and DOS, it has been possible to show that L12 TiMg3 could not form even at high pressure as 250 GPa. Nonetheless, both approaches indicate that forming an intermetallic compound between Ti and Mg requires a crystal structure change, α→FCC for Ti and HCP→BCC for Mg.
Proposed DFT-based solid solution model for predicting phase stability and elastic properties of binary random alloys, with Mg-Li system serving as a test case, successfully yielded reliable results comparable to experimental data. This method was successfully applied to study an immiscible Ti-Mg system and the solubility limit
vi
was for the first time theoretically established. Based on formation energy of Ti-Mg solid solutions, our calculations predicted for the first time that the solubility of up to 60 and 100 at.% Mg into Ti with the use of USP and NCP, respectively, to be thermodynamically favourable with necessary lattice kinetics being the main challenge. Nonetheless, NCP proved to be reliable in predicting structural and elastic properties of disordered alloys.

Effect of chromium and manganese on corrosion behavior of Fe-TiC compositesReed, Izumi N. 10 1900 (has links) (PDF)
M.S. / Materials Science and Engineering / The goal of this thesis is to determine the corrosion behavior of a new class of advanced materials, namely: titanium carbide reinforced iron composites containing chromium (Fe-Cr-TiC) and chromium and manganese (Fe-Cr-Mn-TiC). TiC has excellent physical properties, such as high melting point, low density, high Vickers hardness value, high electrical resistivity and low thermal expansion. Due to their great wear resistance characteristics and toughness, these materials show potential applications in pulp and paper industries, mining and mineral processing industries, metallurgical industries, cement industries, and electric industries. Some components made of these materials may work under a combined action of corrosion and wear. This study is aimed at determining the corrosion behavior using electrochemical methods such as potentiodynamic and potentiostatic. Two different electrolytes were used in this research: 1N (0.5 M) sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and 1N (0.5 M) sodium sulfate (Na2SO4). The experiments were performed on the following materials; Fe-TiC, Fe-Cr-TiC, Fe-Cr-Mn- TiC and their matrix materials.

Functional coatings on Ti-6A1-4V and NiTi shape memory alloy for medical applicationsLee, Wing-cheung., 李永祥. January 2011 (has links)
Due to its excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties, Ti-6Al-4V alloy has been extensively used in the medical field, especially as a material for hard tissue replacement. Owing to the unique shape memory and superelastic properties, NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA, with 50.8 at.% of Ni) has been investigated for load-bearing applications in orthopedics and dentistry. Since the longevity of current metal implants is approximately 10 to 15 years, many patients need to have revision surgeries in their lifetime. Therefore, there is great interest in the long-term stability, biocompatibility, bioactivity and other properties of Ti-6Al-4V and NiTi SMA implants. Implant-associated infections also pose serious threat to the success of metal implants. The goal of this project was to investigate several low-temperature surface modification techniques, including anodization and electrochemical deposition, and formulate coatings for potential clinical applications. Accordingly, several types of coatings were synthesized on Ti-6Al-4V and NiTi SMA substrates. Various aspects of the coatings, such as morphology, chemical composition, crystallinity, phase and bioactivity, were analyzed.
Firstly, a systematic study on the formation of titania nanotubes on Ti-6Al-4V by anodization was performed. Anodizing voltage and time were varied for comparisons. A dense and compact titania nanotube layer was synthesized on Ti-6Al-4V by anodizing at 25 V for 20 min. The titania nanotubes formed were rutile. After annealing at 500oC for 1 h, the titania nanotubes became anatase. The anatase phase exhibited better wettability than the rutile phase.
Secondly, dense and compact apatite coatings were formed on NiTi SMA samples through electrochemical deposition using mainly double-strength simulated body fluid (2SBF) as the electrolyte. The deposition conditions were varied and apatite coating characteristics studied. With the inclusion of collagen molecules (0.1 mg/ml) in the electrolyte (2SBFC), apatite/collagen composite coatings were fabricated. Collagen fibrils were not only observed on the surface of composite coatings but also were embedded inside in the coatings and at the coating-substrate interface. Results obtained from transmission electron microscopic and X-ray diffraction analyses showed that the apatite crystals in apatite coatings and apatite/collagen composite coatings were calcium-deficient carbonated hydroxyapatite. Apatite/collagen composite coatings exhibited excellent hydrophilicity, whereas apatite coatings displayed hydrophobic surfaces.
Finally, gentamicin-loaded, tobramycin-loaded, and vancomycin-loaded apatite coatings and apatite/collagen composite coatings were synthesized on NiTi SMA samples through electrochemical deposition using different drug concentrations in the electrolytes. A comparative study of apatite coatings and apatite/collagen composite coatings as drug delivery vehicles were conducted. Different aspects of antibiotic-loaded coatings (surface characteristics, chemical composition, wettability, etc.) and in vitro release behaviour were investigated. The antibiotics were physically embedded in coatings during coating formation. Upon sample soaking in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), the release profiles established for antibiotic-loaded coatings demonstrated different levels of initial burst release and subsequent steady release characteristics. Apatite coatings and apatite/collagen coatings displayed preferential incorporation of specific antibiotics. For instance, apatite/collagen coatings showed better vancomycin incorporation than apatite coatings and the incorporation of vancomycin was better than tobramycin for apatite/collagen coatings. Apatite coatings demonstrated better tobramycin incorporation than apatite/collagen composite coatings. / published_or_final_version / Mechanical Engineering / Master / Master of Philosophy
