Flame spray synthesis of ZrO2 nano-particles using liquid precursors

This paper studies the feasibility of using flame spray to produce ZrO2 nano-particles using a liquid precursor. The effects of varying precursor concentrations and ratio of diluting medium on the phase composition, size and morphology of ZrO2 nano-particles are discussed. The morphology and size of the ZrO2 nano-particles was very much dependent on the precursor concentration. The solvent rati...

Investigation of the material removal characteristic for polishing CoCr alloy

To investigate the material removal characteristic of paste polishing, experimental investigations based on Taguchi method have been carried out. In the experiments, the dwell time was fixed 300 seconds and the bonnet position was 4. The four variable factors (precess angles, head speed, head pressure and tool offset) with 3 levels were chosen to design the orthogonal array. With the designed o...

A Perspective on the Flame Spray Synthesis of Photocatalyst Nanoparticles

The synthesis of functional nanoparticles via one-step flame spray pyrolysis (FSP), especially those of catalytic nature, has attracted the interests of scientists and engineers, as well as industries. The rapid and high temperature continuous synthesis yields nanoparticles with intrinsic features of active catalysts, that is, high surface area and surface energetics. For these reasons, FSP fin...

Corrosion of Cold Spray Deposited Copper Coating on Steel Substrates

The corrosion behavior of copper cold spray coatings on a carbon steel substrate was compared to that of commercially available wrought copper under the conditions anticipated in a nuclear waste repository. Corrosion potential and linear polarization resistance measurements were conducted over 90 d to 120 d in 3.0 mol/L NaCl under anoxic (1) and oxygenated-toanoxic (2) conditions to simulate th...
