ABSTRACTThe formation of europium sulfides (Eu3S4 and EuS) via CS2 gas sulfurization of Eu2O3 powder was investigated. Single-phase Eu3S4 was obtained via CS2 gas sulfurization of Eu2O3 at 773 K for periods longer than 0.5 hr and EuS was generated by sulfurization at 1073 K for 8 hr. The higher sulfurization temperature and shorter sulfurization time accelerated the formation of high purity EuS. Synthetic pure Eu3S4 was treated under vacuum, rich-sulfur atmosphere and inert atmosphere, respectively. EuS was obtained when heat treatment was performed at 873 K under vacuum, at 973 K under CS2/Ar atmosphere, and at 1073 K under Ar atmosphere. Heat treatment of Eu3S4 generated a small amount of Eu2O2S due to impurity oxygen. Formation of Eu2O2S could be inhibited by heat treatment under CS2/Ar atmosphere.

Forsterite single phase powder Mg2SiO4 was synthesized by sol–gel method alongside with heat treatment, using two different cation alkaline salts MCl as mineralizers (M = Na, K) with various mass percentages (2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 wt.%). In this work, we report on the effect of the cation type and the added amount of used mineralizer on microstructure and electrical conductivity of Mg2SiO4. The formation of forsterite started at 680–740  °C and at 630–700  °C with KCl and NaCl respectively, as shown by TG-DTA and confirmed by XRD. Furthermore, the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) transmission spectra indicated bands corresponding to vibrations of forsterite structure. The morphology and elemental composition of sintered ceramics were examined by SEM-EDX analyses, while their densities, which were measured by Archimedes method, increased with addition of both alkaline salts. The electrical measurements were performed by Complex Impedance Spectroscopy. The results showed that electrical conductivity increased with the addition of both mineralizers, which was higher for samples prepared with NaCl than those prepared with KCl.

The desired properties of magnetic alloys, semiconductor materials and similar products are usually developed by heat treatment in a stream off pure dry gas … the presence of even a few parts per million of water vapour in this gas can cause unwanted changes in such properties … to monitor the water-vapour content, a direct-reading dewpoint meter has been developed which is claimed to be more rapid and sensitive than similar meters

The effect of volume fraction of ferrite on the mechanical properties including strength, plasticity and wok hardening was systematically investigated in X80 pipeline steel in order to improve the plasticity. The microstructures with different volume fraction of ferrite and bainite were obtained by heat-treatment processing and the mechanical properties were tested. The work hardening behavior was analyzed by C-J method. The results show that the small amount of ferrite could effectively improve the plasticity. The work hardening ability and the ratio of yield/tensile strength with two phases of ferrite/bainite would be obviously better than that with single phase of bainite. The improvement of plasticity could be attributed to the ferrite in which more plastic deformation was afforded.

Three series of cordierite powders were prepared by the sol-gel route: a single phase (monophasic) gel prepared from alkoxides, a nominally triphasic nanocomposite gel made with two nanosized powders and one solution phase, and a truly compositionally triphasic nanocomposite gel prepared from three nanosized powders. Crystalline α-cordierite seeds were also incorporated with the gels and their effectiveness as nucleating agents was investigated and found to lower the crystallization temperature of α-cordierite by 125–150°C. The densification behavior of powder compacts was examined and alterations made to the heat treatment until optimum conditions were found. The truly triphasic compact sintered at 1300°C for 2 h resulted in 100% of theoretical density whereas the nominally triphasic and monophasis pellets densified to 96% and 80%, respectively. The enhanced densification achieved with powder compacct prepared for triphasic nanocomposite gels is due to part to the excess free energy of the three components.
