ABSTRACTIndividual graphite fibers (TP 4104B and GY-70) were intercalated with alkali metals using the two-zone vapor transport method commonly used to prepare alkali metal intercalated graphite. The progress of the reaction was followed in situ by measuring the electrical resistances of the fibers as the temperature difference (ΔT) between the fiber and the metal was decreased stepwise. These measurements showed that the ease and extent of intercalation are related to fiber graphitization. Without exposure to air, the temperature dependence of the resistances of the intercalated fibers were also measured from −196°C to 400°C. The measurements showed that the intercalated fibers have a metallic dependence on temperature. Tensile strength measurements on the intercalated fibers showed that intercalation of the heavy alkali metals is deleterious.

Free standing AlN wafers were grown on pre-patterned and in situ patterned 4H-SiC substrates by a physical vapor transport method. It is based on the coalescence of AlN microrods, which evolve from the apex of SiC pyramids grown on the SiC substrate during a temperature ramp up for in situ patterned substrate and SiC pyramids formed by reactive ion etching (RIE). This process yields stress-free (according XRD and Raman results) AlN single crystals with a thickness up to 400 µm and low dislocation density.

One of the greatest drawbacks to predicting the behaviour of bonded joints has been the lack of reliable data on the mechanical properties of adhesives. In this study, methods for determining mechanical properties of structural adhesive were discussed. The Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio and tensile strength of the adhesive were tested by dogbone specimens (bulk form) and butt joint specimens (in situ form). The shear modulus and shear strength were test by V-notched specimens (bulk form) and thick adherend lap-shear (TALS) joint specimens (in situ form). The test results show that the elastic modulus provided by the manufacturer is too low, the dogbone specimen is better than the butt joint specimen to test the tensile strength and elastic modulus and the TALS joint specimen is better than the V-notched specimen to test the shear strength.

The in-situ Ti alloying of aluminium alloys was fulfilled by electrolysis, and the material was made into A356 alloy and used in automobile wheels. The results show that the grains of the A356 alloy was refined and the second dendrites arm was shortened due to the in-situ Ti alloying. Trough 3-hour solution treatment and 2-hour aging treatment for the A356 alloy, the microstructures were homogeneous, and Si particles were spheroid and distribute in the matrix fully. The outstanding mechanical properties with tensile strength (σb≥300Mpa) and elongation values (δ≥10%) have been obtained because the heat treatment was optimized. Compared with the traditional materials, tensile strength and elongation were increased by 7.6~14.1% and 7.4~44.3% respectively. The qualities of the automobile wheels were improved remarkably.

SiOx nanowires were grown on Si substrates by a simple vapor transport method of heating the mixture of silicon monoxide and carbon powders at 1000 °C in a tube of the furnace. The dependence of the growth velocity on the growth temperature and on the radius of nanowires indicates that the SiOx nanowires grow through the vaporliquidsolid (VLS) growth mechanism. The properties of the nanowires are characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and photoluminescence (PL).

ABSTRACTCu-Nb composite wires were produced from powder, electrolytically coated with tin and annealed to convert the Nb fibres to Nb 3Sn. The content was varied between 10 wt % and 40 wt %. The superconducting properties of the wires were determined. The mechanical properties, tensile strength, yield strength and ductility were measured as a function of volume fraction and deformation over a wide temperature range. The results are compared with those for wires produced by different techniques.
