A method for producing high surface area nano-sized mesoporous alumina from inexpensive Iranian kaolin as raw material is proposed. In this method, first, kaolin was purified for purifying Kaolin, High Grade Magnetic Separation and leaching with HCl and chemical bleaching treatment by using sodium dithionite (Na 2 S 2O4 ) as reducing agent in acidic media (H 2SO 4 ) were used. Pur...

The corrosion, microstructure, and hardness of nanocrystalline AA5083 were compared to that conventional AA5083-H116 consolidated gas atomized powder. was produced by consolidating high-energy ball milled powder with two methods: cold compaction spark plasma sintering. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic potentiodynamic polarization, Mott-Schottky analysis, immersion tests followed s...

A low cost and scalable powder-based method for producing nanoporous Ni is demonstrated, the only processing by-product water vapor. This achieved by creating a metal–matrix composite of NiO that then reduced under dilute hydrogen to create pure with nanocrystalline structure nanoscale porosity. The technique demonstrated in loose powder thin bulk compacts centimeter dimensions. These can withs...

Nanocrystalline ~NC! ferrite powders have been synthesized using a 50 kW–3 MHz rf thermal plasma torch for high-frequency soft magnet applications. A mixed powder of Ni and Fe (Ni:Fe 51:2), a NiFe permalloy powder with additional Fe powder (Ni:Fe51:2), and a NiFe permalloy powder (Ni:Fe51:1) were used as precursors for synthesis. Airflow into the reactor chamber was the source of oxygen for oxi...

Powderous crystalline materials of the composition Fe3−xMnxC have been prepared by first synthesizing Fe3C via mechanical alloying in a planetary mill followed by the addition of elemental manganese and arc-plasma melting or via the classic ceramic route in an electric furnace. The milling time for the synthesis of Fe3C was significantly reduced through adjusting the parameters of the planetary...

abstract: in this study, al 2 o 3 –sic nanocomposites have been fabricated by mixing of alumina powder containing 0.05% weight magnesium oxide and silicon carbide nano powders, followed by hot pressing at 1650 0 c. the mechanical properties of al 2 o 3 -sic nanocomposites containing different volume fraction (2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 and 15%) of nano scale sic particles were investigated and compared wi...

The oxidation kinetics of 5 vol% nano-Ni dispersed Al2O3 with Si-doping (nano-Ni/Al2O3-Si) was studied in the present paper. The starting powder mixture was prepared by drying aqueous slurry consisting of alumina with nickel nitrate and Si (OCH3)4. The powder mixture was reduced at 600 C for 12 h in a stream of Ar-1%H2 gas mixture. Nano-Ni/Al2O3-Si was densified by pulsed electric current sinte...

The aim of this work is to study the sensing behavior of Sr-doped hematite for soil water content measurement. The material was prepared by solid state reaction from commercial hematite and strontium carbonate heat treated at 900 °C. X-Ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and mercury intrusion porosimetry were used for microstructural characterization of the synthesized powder. Sensors...

ZTA powder with a composition of 85 wt% alumina/15 wt% zirconia was prepared by a gel precipitation method. Sinter forging was performed with this powder to enhance the mechanical properties of ZTA materials. The influence of processing flaws on mechanical properties of sinter forged materials and pressureless sintered materials was investigated. Sinter forging at 40 MPa effectively decreases p...
