This paper examined the room-temperature thermal and mechanical properties of a mixed conducting perovskite La1−xSrxCr0.2Fe0.8O3 (x = 0.2 to 0.8). Powders were made by the combustion-synthesis technique and sintered at 1250 °C in air. Sintered density, crystal phase, and grain size were characterized. Linear thermal expansion in air was also tested. Young's and shear moduli, microhardness, indentation fracture toughness, and biaxial flexure strength were determined. It was found that the linear coefficient of thermal expansion increased with increasing Sr content, while elastic modulus appeared to decrease with increasing Sr content. Young's modulus of 128 to 192 GPa and shear modulus of 51 to 74 GPa were measured. A biaxial flexure strength of 243 MPa was measured for the lowest Sr content batches. Batches with higher Sr concentrations (x = 0.6 to 0.8) showed extensive cracking. Indentation toughness showed a decrease with increasing Sr content. In addition, fractography was used to characterize the critical flaw and the fracture mode.

The effect of individual and combined particleboard dust (PB dust) and basalt fibers (BFs) on mechanical and thermal expansion performance of the filled virgin and recycled high density polyethylene (HDPE) composites was studied. It was shown that the use of PB dust had a positive effect on improving mechanical properties and on reducing linear coefficient of thermal expansion (LCTE) values of filled composites, because the adhesive of the particle board held the wheat straw fibers into bundles, which made PB dust have a certain aspect ratio and high strength. Compared with the commonly used commercial WPC products, the flexural strength of PB dust/VHDPE, PB dust/RHDPE, and PB dust/VHDPE/RHDEPE at 40 wt% loading level increased by 79.9%, 41.5%, and 53.9%, respectively. When 40 wt% PB dust was added, the crystallization degree of the composites based on three matrixes decreased to 72.5%, 45.7%, and 64.1%, respectively. The use of PB dust can help lower the composite costs and increase its recyclability. Mechanical properties and LCTE values of composites with combined BF and PB dust fillers varied with PB dust and BF ratio at a given total filler loading level. As the BF portion of the PB dust/BF fillers increased, the LCTE values decreased markedly, which was suggested to be able to achieve a desirable dimensional stability for composites. The process provides a useful route to further recycling of agricultural wastes.

The influence of chopped fibre length on the mechanical and thermal properties of silk fibre ( Bombix mori) reinforced poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) biocomposites has been investigated in terms of tensile and flexural properties, thermal stability, thermal expansion, and dynamic mechanical properties. The chopped fibre lengths studied were 3.2 mm, 6.4 mm, 12.7 mm, and 25.4 mm. The results demonstrate that chopped silk fibres play an effective role in improving the mechanical properties of PBS in the present system. At a fixed fibre loading of 40 wt%, the tensile strength and modulus of the PBS control were improved by 69% and 228%, respectively, in comparison with those of the biocomposite reinforced with 25.4 mm silk fibres. The flexural strength and modulus of PBS were also greatly improved by 167% and 323%, respectively. The thermal properties of PBS resin increased when incorporating chopped silk fibres in the composite matrix. The biocomposites had much lower linear coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) values and higher storage moduli than the PBS controls above the glass transition region, especially with reinforcing silk fibres of 25.4 mm long.

The coefficient of linear thermal expansion has been measured for polycrystalline Li2SO4. Between 200 and 550 °C (monoclinic phase) the average linear coefficient of thermal expansion was determined to (22 ± 1) x10-6 degr.-1, and for the range 600—750 °C (cubic phase) the coefficient (43 ±3)x 10-6 degr.-1 was obtained. The quoted errors are standard deviations.The volume change at the transition between the monoclinic and cubic phases was found to be 2.2 cm3/mole, which is in good agreement with Pistorius’ estimation from the pressure-temperature curve of this transition.

Abstract The development of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) for diesel engines has been driven by the potential improvements in engine power and fuel efficiency that TBCs represent. TBCs have been employed for many years to reduce corrosion of valves and pistons because of their high temperature durability and thermal insulative properties. There are research programs to improve TBCs wear resistance to allow for its use in tribologically intensive areas of the engine. This paper will present results from tribological tests of ceria stabilized zirconia (CeSZ). The CeSZ was applied by atmospheric plasma spray process. Various mechanical and thermal properties were measured including wear, coefficient of thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, and microhardness. The results show the potential use of CeSZ in wear sensitive applications in diesel applications. Keywords: Thermal Barrier Coating, Diesel Engine, Wear, Thermal Conductivity, and Thermal Expansion

Material testing was undertaken on samples taken from clad pipe manufactured by JSW for the Tangguh LNG project. The test programme involved testing Young’s Modulus (E) and Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion (α) from room temperature to above 110° on each layer. This paper summarises testing and analysis of results which enabled mean and variance on each material property to be found. Checks were also undertaken for any correlations in properties between clad and parent layers, and between Young’s Modulus and Coefficient of Thermal Expansion. Analysis results are compared to existing industry norms and their implications for the Tangguh project UHB (Upheaval Buckling) SRA (Structural Reliability Analysis) are summarised.
