AbstractCopper and sol-gel processed cordierite were cosintered in oxidizing atmosphere using an eutectic bonding technique. Firing at low and high heating rates leads to interfaces which present different macroscopic properties. These interfaces were therefore investigated on a microscopic scale by SEM, XPS and STEM analyses. Copper diffusion as well as strong chemical and structural modifications were observed in the interface region. Although these interfaces have good adhesion properties, there was no evidence for the formation of some interfacial copper compound.

ABSTRACTThe use of sol–gel-derived 0–3 composite ceramics for low-temperature direct-write electronics applications was investigated. The 0–3 composite paste materials were prepared using selected metal alkoxides and commercial low- and high-κ' dielectric powders. The composite pastes were deposited onto alumina and polyimide substrates using conventional screening and micro-dispensing techniques. The deposited films were oven-dried at or below 200°C and thermally densified using a CO2 laser. The 0–3 composites exhibited good adhesion and structural density. Electrical characterization of the laser-processed dielectrics revealed κ' values as high as 295 and tan δ as low as 0.02 on polyimide substrates.

The present work aims at studying the corrosion resistance of carbon steel substrates pre-treated with bis-[triethoxysilylpropyl] tetrasulfide (BTESPT) solutions. The corrosion behavior of the pre-treated substrates during immersion in seawater was assessed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization. The analytical characterization of the silane films was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that the pre-treatments based on silanes provide good corrosion protection of carbon steel substrates and the bis-silane film has good adhesion properties.

Abstract High-purity microfine mullite precursor powder of stoichiometric chemical composition, 3Al2O3.2SiO2, was synthesized through the sol-gel route using aluminum isopropoxide and tetraethyl orthosilicate. The derived mullite precursor powder was characterized by BET surface area, particle size distribution, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Phase analysis of the precursor powder and calcined samples at different temperatures was done by XRD. Non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of mullite precursor was studied by TG-DTA in static air using heating rates of 5.0, 7.5, 10.0, 12.5, and 15 K.min-1. Grain morphology was studied by SEM. The results showed that synthesized mullite precursor powder possessed homogeneity of Al and Si components, and the amorphous precursor powder was converted to monophasic mullite crystal when heat-treated at 970 °C. Based on Flynn-Wall-Ozawa and Kissinger equations, the activation energy associated with the crystallization of mullite was determined to be 1189.8 and 1189.0 kJ.mol-1, respectively.

ABSTRACTWe present the fabrication and characterization of transparent thin film heaters (TTFHs) based on silver nanowires. The goal is to develop a simple process for the production of transparent heating elements by large area printing techniques. The TTFHs are based on recently developed random networks of silver nanowires. Thanks to the very low sheet resistance achievable with silver nanowires, we show that it is possible to obtain high heating rates and good steady state temperatures at low voltages, typically below 12 V.

Induction heating processes are of rising interest within the heat treating industry. Using inductive tempering, a lot of production time can be saved compared to a conventional tempering treatment. However, it is not completely understood how fast inductive processes influence the quenched and tempered microstructure and the corresponding mechanical properties. The aim of this work is to highlight differences between inductive and conventional tempering processes and to suggest a possible processing route which results in optimized microstructures, as well as desirable mechanical properties. Therefore, the present work evaluates the influencing factors of high heating rates to tempering temperatures on the microstructure as well as hardness and Charpy impact energy. To this end, after quenching a 50CrMo4 steel three different induction tempering processes are carried out and the resulting properties are subsequently compared to a conventional tempering process. The results indicate that notch impact energy raises with increasing heating rates to tempering when realizing the same hardness of the samples. The positive effect of high heating rate on toughness is traced back to smaller carbide sizes, as well as smaller carbide spacing and more uniform carbide distribution over the sample.
