Cr-Al Coatings on Low Carbon Steel Prepared by a Mechanical Alloying Technique

Four different compositions of Cr and Al coatings as Cr10o, Cr87.5Al12.5, Cr5oAl5o, and Al100 have been prepared on the surface of low carbon steel by a mechanical alloying technique. The composition of each powder was milled for 2 hour in a stainless steel crucible with a ball to powder ratio of 10:1. Hereafter, the Cr-Al powder and substrate were mechanical alloyed in air for 1 hour. Heat treatment of coated sample were carried out at 800°C in a vacuum furnace. In order to characterize the phase composition and microstructure of the coating before and after heat treatment, XRD and SEM-EDX were used. The results show that Cr, Cr-Al or Al coatings were formed on the surface of low carbon steel. After heat treatment, new phases and interdiffusion zone were formed in the coating and at the coating/steel interface, depending on the coating composition.

Characteristics of B2O3 and Fe added into BaFe12O19 permanent magnets prepared at different milling time and sintering temperature

The objective of present work is to investigate the characteristic of BaFe12O19, B2O3-BaFe12O19 and Fe-BaFe12O19 magnets fabricated at different milling time and sintering temperature. The characteristic of perrmanen magnet BaFe12O19 with different content of B2O3 and Fe which was fabricated at different milling time and sintering temperature were investigated. The powder mixtures were prepared by dry and wet milling at various milling time. The powder were mixtured and prepared by dry and wet milling at various milling time. The mixture powder was then compacted by anisotropic with compressive pressure of 50 N/cm2. The green bodies were sinter at 1050, 1100, 1150 and 1200°C and hold for 1 h, separately. The density, magnetic flux density and B-H curve were measured by Archimedes principle, Gauss meter and Permagraph, respectively. The microstructure and phase composition characterization were performed by SEM and XRD. The results of this study are presented in this paper. It shows that addition of Fe (in...

Effects of Sintering Holding Time on the Structural, Electrical and Magnetic Properties of Zn0.95Ni0.05O

Zn0.95Ni0.05O has been synthesized by mixing 5% mol of NiO into ZnO using solid state reaction and high-speed shaker mill method. The samples were sintered at 900 °C with holding time for 2, 4 and 8 hours. Crystal structure, electrical and magnetic properties of Zn0.95Ni0.05O were characterized by using XRD, I-V, C-V and VSM. XRD results showed that variation of holding time does not change the structure of ZnO and no other secondary phase observed. The value of lattice parameters (a and c) tends to decrease proportionally to the holding time. The Intensity value changes and the peak shifted to a higher 2θ angle due to holding time variation. In general, the conductance of Zn0.95Ni0.05O decreases and the magnetic properties decrease also as the holding time is increased.
