The sodium activities in aluminium in equilibrium with cryolite-alumina melt and during electrolysis were determined by EMF with Naβ-Al_2O_3 solid electrolyte.With this sodium activities,we calculate the activities of NaF and AIF_3 in the cryolite-alumina melt.The potential difference of discharge be- tween sodium ions and aluminum ions at cathode of Hall-Heroult cell was also obtained from the sodium activity in aluminum.

Application of Microwave Radiation to Extractive Metallurgy

LIU Chunpeng XU Yousheng HUA Yixin Kunming Institute of Technology , Kunming , 650093 , China.

材料科学技术（英文）

In applying the microwave radiation to extractive me- tallurgy,it is essential first of all to find the extent of microwave energy absorbed by various minerals experi- mentally.In this paper,more than 25 kinds of common useful minerals have been individually irradiated by a 500 W,2450 MHz microwave source in an enclosed quartz crucible to ascertain their heating temperature in a definite time.In addition,the reduction and cbloridization tests were also carried out on the titanomagnetite concentrate and pentlandite with microwave heating,respectively. These experiments indicate potential applications of util- izing microwave energy in extractive metallurgy.

OXIDE METALLURGY-ITS PURPOSES AND PRACTICAL APPROACHES

Z. T. Ma and D. Janke(Institute of Iron and Steel Technology , Freiberg University of Mining and Technology , Germany)

金属学报(英文版)

Useder certain conditions, nonmctallic inclusions such as oxides, sulfides, nitrides and carbides are no longer harmful to sted service properties. With the new concept of oxide metallurgy, these properties can be improved by generating fine oxide inclusions which serve as heterogeneous nuclei for sulfide and fine ferrite[1-4]. A novel continuous casting (CC) process is expected to be created with the utilization of oxide metallurgy. This is also useful for the forthcoming technologies of direct rolling and near-net-shape casting. The main idea of oxide metallurgy consists of an alternative oxidation technology. It is based on steels treated by complex metals such as Ti, Zr, Ti-Zr alloys and rare earth metals. The selected deoxidants should follow the required conditions which are concluded in this paper.

Improvement of Ductility of Powder Metallurgy Titanium Alloys by Addition of Rare Earth Element

Yong LIU , Lifang CHEN , Weifeng WEI , Huiping TANG , Bin LIU

材料科学技术（英文）

Ti-4.5Al-6.0Mo-1.5Fe, Ti-6Al-1Mo-1Fe and Ti-6Al-4V alloys were prepared by blended elemental powder metallurgy (PM) process, and the effects of Nd on the microstructures and mechanical properties were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It was found out that the addition of Nd increased the density of sintered titanium alloys slightly by a maximum increment of 1% because small amount of liquid phase occurred during sintering. The addition of Nd shows little effect on the improvement of tensile strength, while the elongation is significantly improved. For example, the elongation of Ti-4.5Al-6.0Mo-1.5Fe can be increased from 1% without addition of Nd to 13% at a Nd content of 1.2 wt pct.

SYNTHESIS OF NANO-ZnO PARTICLES FOR ALUMINUM METALLURGY AS INERT ANODE MATERIAL

A.A.A. Saleh , Y. Fu , X.J. Zhai

金属学报(英文版)

Nano-ZnO particle was produced by evaporating zinc powders in air at air °ow-rate from 0.2 to 0.6m3/h. Nano-ZnO particles was formed by the oxidation of the evapo- rated zinc vapor. X-ray di®raction shows the powders to be ZnO with lattice parame- ters of a=0.3249nm and c=0.5205nm. The particle size is dependent upon the transit time from the source to the collection area. The size of particles was ranged between 81 to 103nm. The average density resulted was 4.865g/cm3. Normal ZnO and nano-ZnO were investigated to use them in aluminum metallurgy as an inert anode material. A certain amount of both oxides were molded subsequently inserted to the molten cryolite-aluminum oxide to investigate the corrosive behavior of both oxides. When the sintering temperature increased up to 1300±C, the weight loss ratio rose to 5.01%{7.33% and up to 7.67%{10.18% for nano-ZnO and normal ZnO, respectively. However, when the samples in the molten cryolite aluminum oxide were put for long time, the corrosive rate was found to be higher. It was found that the corrosive loss weight ratio of nano-ZnO anode was much lower than the normal one made from ordinary-ZnO providing that the nano-ZnO is more possible to be use inert anode material.

The TiN films were synthesized with an alternate process of depositing titanium from a E-gun evaporation source and 40 keV N~+ bombarding onto the target.It is shown from the composi- tion analysis and structure investigations using RBS,AES,TEM,XPS and X-ray diffraction spectrum that the formed fihns are mainly composed of TiN phase with grain size of 30—40 nm and without preferred orientation,the nitrogen content in the film is much less than that in case without N~+ bombarding,and an intermixed region about 40 nm thick exists between the film and the substrate.The films exhibt high microhardness and low friction.

Experimental Study and Finite Element Polycrystal Model Simulation of the Cold Rolling Textures in a Powder Metallurgy Processed Pure Aluminum Plate

Liqing CHEN , Naoyuki Kanetake

材料科学技术（英文）

Ingot metallurgy (IM) aluminum has long been the subject and attracted the attention of many metallurgists and textural researchers of materials. Due to the introduction of large amounts of ex situ interfaces, however, the textures in powder metallurgy (PM) processed aluminum has been rarely reported. In this article, a pure aluminum plate was prepared $via$ PM route. The starting billet was first produced with uni-axially cold compaction and flat hot-extrusion and then followed by cold rolling processes. The hot-extruded and cold rolling deformation textures of the pure PM aluminum at 50%, 80% and 90% cold rolling reductions were studied by orientation distribution functions (ODFs) analysis. The finite element polycrystal model (FEPM) was finally utilized to simulate the cold rolling textural evolution at various stages of cold rolling. In FEPM simulation, the initial hot-extruded textures were taken into account as inputs. The results showed that typical β-fiber texture formed in pure PM aluminum with the cold rolling reduction increased till 80%, and there was not much change after excessive cold rolling deformation. Homogeneous slip is not the only deformation mode in PM processed pure aluminum plate at over 80% cold rolling reduction. The experimental results were qualitatively in good agreement with the simulated ones.

The microstructures of TiAl intermetallic compounds prepared by ingot metallurgy and centrifugal spray deposition (CSD) were compared by field ion microscopy and atom probe (AP-FIM). The samples used have nearly stoichiometric composition of TiAl but there is Mn addition for ingot metallurgy (IM) samples and Mn and Nb additions for CSD samples. The field ion image of TiAl showed two regions of ordered f.c.t crystal structure (γ-TiAl) and disordered α-Ti3Al, and the distribution of Ti and Al atoms in TiAl alloy showed a lamellar structure which was confirmed by AP profiles. AP profiles showed that the major constituent of IM TiAl alloy is γ-TiAl with some Ti-rich regions. The compositions of these Ti-rich regions are nearly Ti3Al and Ti2Al from the calculation of AP data. The sample of CSD has a similar microstructure as compared with IM sample. The effects of alloying elements (Mn and Nb) on the ordering extent ,their distribution, and their sites occupied in the lattice were explored for both TiAl alloys. But there are no obvious Ti3Al or Ti2Al phases as shown in IM sample. In addition, the distributions of Mn and Nb concentrations in the CSD sample have a characteristic of wave form.
