This work was aimed at studying the tribological properties of nanolamellar tungsten and molybdenum disulfides produced from nanosized W and Mo nanopowders by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis. The prepared WS2and MoS2powders were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential thermal analysis (DTA). For tribological tests, oil-based lubricants added with nanolamellar tungsten and molybdenum disulfides were prepared. The tribological tests show that the friction coefficient of the nanolamellar powders is lower than that of commercial powder(μmin=0.024and 0.064, resp.). It is also found that the oil-based lubricants with nanolamellar disulfide additives display higher antifriction and antiwear properties compared to commercial powder.

AbstractEffect of different Sn contents on combustion synthesis of Ti2SnC was studied using elemental Ti, Sn, C and TiC powders as raw materials in the Ti-Sn-C and Ti-Sn-C-TiC system, in which the molar ratio of Ti/C was set as 2:1. The reaction mechanism for the formation of Ti2SnC was also investigated. The results showed that the amount of Ti2SnC in combustion products firstly increased with increasing of Sn content (0.6 to 0.8 mol), and then decreased with further increasing of Sn content (1.0 to 1.2 mol). Upon addition of 15 % TiC instead of Ti and C, the optimum addition of Sn decreased to 0.7 mol and a higher purity of Ti2SnC was obtained. The Ti2SnC powders were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

The Si-SiC nanocomposites have been synthesized by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) from natural precursors. The effects of difference amount of added NaCl from 0 to 0.75 moles to the reactants on the Si-SiC conversion and particle size were investigated. The reaction were carried out in a SHS reactor under static argon gas at the pressure of 0.5 MPa. The nanocomposite results have been characterized by scanning electron microscope, Transmission Electron Microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results showed that the production of nano-composite materials using SHS process is feasible and agree well with the thermodynamics calculations.

In this work, a series of samples of Mo (Si1-xAlx)2 (X =0, 0.10,0.20,0.30,0.40) were prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS). The influence of the addition of Al on the structures and the micrographs of the final compounds were investigated. X-ray diffraction pattern characterization (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the obtained products. It was found that, the reactions between Mo and Si could be promoted with introducing Al during the SHS process. The high temperature β-MoSi2 phase with hexagonal structure (C40) was obtained and the peaks of the C40 phase shifted towards a higher d value with increasing aluminum substitution. The substitution of Al could reach to 40%. The morphology of the final products was similar with that of the raw Mo powders, which was independent of Al contents.

Sebuah penelitian tentang sistem dispersi padat dari asiklovir dengan poloxamer 188 telah dilakukan formulasi dengan pencampuran secara fisika dengan rasio 1 : 1, 1 : 3, 1 : 5 dan dispersi padat 1 : 1, 1 : 3, 1 : 5 dan penggilingan 1:1 sebagai pembanding. Dispersi padat dibuat menggunakan metode pencairan (fusi), yang digabung dengan poloxamer 188 pada hotplate kemudian asiklovir dimasukkan ke dalam hasil poloxamer 188 lalu di kocok hingga membentuk masa homogen. Semua formula yang terbentuk termasuk asiklovir poloxamer 188 murni dianalisis karakterisasinya dengan Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA), X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), dan Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), kemudian pengambilan dilakukan  (penentuan kadar) mengunakan spektrofotometer UV pada panjang gelombang 257,08 nm dan uji laju disolusi dengan aquadest bebas CO2 menggunakan metode dayung. Hasil pengambilan  (penentuan kadar) menunjukkan bahwa semua formula memenuhi persyaratan farmakope Amerika edisi 30 dan farmakope Indonesia edisi 4 yaitu 95-110%. Sedangkan hasil uji laju disolusi untuk campuran fisik 1: 1, dan dispersi padat 1: 1, dan penggilingan 1: 1 menunjukkan peningkatan yang nyata dibandingkan asiklovir murni. Hal ini juga dapat dilihat dari hasil perhitungan statistik  menggunakan analisis varian satu arah  SPSS 17.

SiC particle-reinforced Cu-Fe based braking materials were fabricated by the P/M hot pressing method. The phase composition, microstructure and the worn surface of the composite were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).The tribological properties were evaluated using a disk-on-disk type laboratory scale dynamometer. Results indicate that the friction coefficient is 0.42 in 6800rpm, 0.7MPa. With the increase of rotation speeds the coefficient of friction and stable rate were decreased.

The steel substrate was coated by Fe-based composite using self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) reaction of reactant coating paste. The green paste was prepared by mixing precursor powders of Al, Fe2O3and Al2O3. It was coated on the steel substrate before igniting by oxy-acetylene flame. The effect of coating paste thickness and the additives on the resulted Fe-based composite coating was studied. The composite coating was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) couple with dispersive X-ray (EDS).

The reaction mechanisms observed when sintering loose Cr2O3–CaF2 powder mixtures were analyzed, and the influence of the sintering parameters on the reaction behavior is presented. Using x-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and differential thermal analysis (DTA) measurements, CaCrO4 was shown to be the reaction product when sintering in air. The reaction occurs in two steps: CaF2 transforms to CaO at the Cr2O3–CaF2 interface, followed by a CaO–Cr2O3 interaction, which creates the reaction product. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis showed an increasing loss of CaF2 with increasing sintering temperature and heating rate, while an opposite evolution of the amount of reaction product was observed.
