With the help of an electromagnetic stirring device and alloy melt quenching technology, the microstructure of semi-solid AZ91D magnesium alloy slurry stirred by a rotationally electromagnetic field was studied and the experimental results are shown as the following. The primary α-Mg grains are refined obviously when the slurry is stirred by a rotational electromagnetic field during continuously cooling and they are eventually changed to fine rosette grains or spherical grains. If the above semi-solid slurry is further stirred isothermally for some time, much more spherical primary α-Mg grains can be obtained. If the melt is first cooled down to a given semi-solid temperature and then starts being stirred by the rotational electromagnetic field, the primary α-Mg dendrites will be large, and a longer time will be taken and a larger stirring power will be needed for the secondary arms of the dendrites to be remelted on the roots to prepare an ideal semi-solid slurry. Theoretical analysis indicates that the strong flow motion leads to a more even temperature field and a solute field and stronger man-made temperature fluctuation in the AZ91D magnesium alloy melt so that the spherical primary α-Mg grains are increased in the slurry. Moreover, all the measures promoting the temperature fluctuation will be favorable to the formation of spherical primary α-Mg grains and all the factors increasing the arm's root remelting difficulty will be favorable to the formation of rosette-type primary α-Mg grains.

The nondendritic semi-solid slurry preparation of high chromium cast iron Cr20Mo2
has been studied in this paper. The experiments show that the proeutectic austenitic
particles are more spherical under a larger stirring power condition, even if the stirring
time is shorter, while the proeutectic austenitic particles are not very much spherical
under a smaller stirring power condition and some proeutectic austenitic dendrites
also exist, even if the stirring time is very long. The experiments also show that when
stirred for 5{6 minutes under the test condition, the semi-solid slurry with 40vol.%{
50vol.% solid fraction and spherical proeutectic austenite in the size of 50{80¹m can
be obtained.

The effect of nonmagnetic Y partial substitution at the Dy site in Dy(1-x)Y(x)MnO(3) up to x=0.2 on magnetism, specific heat, and ferroelectricity is investigated, which resulted in a preliminary multiferroic phase diagram. It is revealed that the Y partial substitution suppresses the Dy-spin ordering point (T(Dy)) and ferroelectric ordering point (T(FE)) but enhances the Mn-spin ordering point (T(N)). The interaction between the spins of Dy and Mn is remarkably affected by Y substitution. The measured electrical polarization depends on the Y substitution in a complex way because the ferroelectricity is sensitive to the interaction between the spins of Dy and Mn.

The glass-forming ability (GFA) of Nd(70-x)Fe(20)Al(10)Y(x) and Nd(60-x)Fe30Al(10)Y(x) (0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to15) alloys produced by Cu mold casting was investigated. Except Y = 5 at. pct, bulk amorphous Nd(70-x)Fe(20)Al(10)Y(x) alloys up to 2 mm in diameter were obtained. The GFA for Nd(60-x)Fe(30)Al(10)Y(x) alloys, however, was found to decrease with increase of Y due to the increasing compositional deviation from the original eutectic point of Nd(60)Fe(30)Al(10) alloy. The Nd(60)Fe(20)Al(10)Y(10) and Nd(60)Fe(30)Al(10) alloy exhibit the largest GFA and can be cast into bulk amorphous cylindrical specimens of 3 mm in diameter. The melting temperature or/and the reduced crystallization temperature is closely related to the GFA of Y-containing alloys. The bulk amorphous cylinder for the Nd(55)Fe(20)Al(10)Y(15) alloy shows a distinct glass transition temperature and a wide supercooled liquid region before crystallization. The crystallization temperature, T(g), and the supercooled liquid region, DeltaT(x), are 776 K and 58 K, respectively, The GFA and thermal stability of the Nd-Fe-Al-Y alloys were discussed.

The magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect of Tb(1-x)Y(x)CoC(2) (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) compounds have been investigated systematically. All the compounds undergo second-order transitions from paramagnetic to ferromagnetic states without thermal and magnetic hysteresis. With increasing Y content from 0 to 0.4, the Curie temperatures decrease nearly linearly from 28 to 18 K. The nature of the second-order phase transitions can be confirmed by Arrott plots. For Tb(0.6)Y(0.4)CoC(2) compound, the maximum value of the magnetic entropy change -Delta S(M) at 20 K is 9.35 J kg(-1) K(-1) for an external field change of 5T (5.14 J kg(-1) K(-1) for 2T). The large reversible magnetic entropy change makes Tb(0.6)Y(04)CoC(2) compound an attractive candidate for the application at hydrogen liquefaction temperature. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.

The dynamic hysteresis in a planar X-Y model as a function of frequency and amplitude of external field, at a temperature far below its Curie point, is studied by means of Monte Carlo (MC) method. The evolution of hysteresis dispersion is simulated in details and the earlier proposed scaling on the hysteresis dispersion is confirmed in the present system. It is predicted that the unique characteristic time for domain reversal is inversely proportional to the field amplitude once the amplitude is not very small. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

We report the electrical, thermal, magnetic, and thermoelectric properties of Y-doped Ca(3)Co(4)O(9) from 300 down to 5 K. The results indicate that with Y doping, the increase of resistivity originates from the decreases of carrier concentration and mobility, while the increase of Seebeck coefficient is caused by the reduction of carrier concentration together with the enhanced electronic correlation. Point-defect scattering, is the dominant thermal transport mechanism in this system. Due to the considerable difference in mass between Y(3+) and Ca(2+), thermal conductivity is observably suppressed by doping. The substitution of Y also disturbs the interlayer ferrimagnetic coupling. The ground state of this System converts front ferrimagnetism to paramagnetism gradually. The alteration of transport properties of Ca(3-x)Y(x)Co(4)O(9) reveals two Crossovers: the transition from Fermi-liquid-like metal to thermally activated semiconductor occuring at x approximate to 0.25, and the transition from thermally activated semiconductor to two-dimensional variable range hopping semiconductor occurring at x approximate to 0.5. The optimal thermoelectric response In Ca(3-x)Y(x)Co(4)O(9) is found to exist only at the critical state after which the doping-induced metal-insulator transition takes place. Oil the basis of these experimental results, a possible phase diagram for Ca(3-x)Y(x)Co(4)O(9) is proposed.

The spin orientation and spontaneous magnetostriction of multicomponent TbxDy1-x-yPry(Fe0.9B0.1)(1.93) (0.10 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.25, 0.30 less than or equal to y less than or equal to 0.60) Laves phases were studied by step-scanning their (440) X-ray diffraction lines. The easy magnetization direction (EMD) of the Laves phases changed from the (100) to (111) axis when x was increased from 0.10 to 0.25. With increasing y, the EMD of Tb0.15Dy0.85-yPry(Fe0.9B0.1)(1.93) and Tb0.2Dy0.8-yPry(Fe0.9B0.1)(1.93) Laves phases reoriented from the (100) to (111) axis. The magnetostriction coefficient lambda(111) of TbxDy1-x-yPry(Fe0.9B0.1)(1.93) Laves phases increased with increasing x (or y) when y (or x) was kept constant.
