AbstractThe p-type Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 compounds with Te dopant (4.0 and 6.0 wt%) and without dopant were fabricated by hot extrusion in the temperature range of 300 to 510 °C under an extrusion ratio of 20:1. The undoped and Te doped compounds were highly dense and showed high crystalline quality. The grains contained many dislocations and were fine equiaxed (˜ 1.0 μm) owing to the dynamic recrystallization during the extrusion. The hot extrusion gave rise to the preferred orientation of grains. The bending strength and the figure of merit of the undoped and Te doped compounds were increased with increasing the extrusion temperature. The Te dopant significantly increased the figure of merit. The values of the figure of merit of the undoped and 4.0 wt% Te-doped compounds hot extruded at 440 °C were 2.11×10−3/K and 2.94×10−3/K, respectively.

P-type Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 compounds doped with 3wt% Te were fabricated by spark plasma sintering and their mechanical and thermoelectric properties were investigated. The sintered compounds with the bending strength of more than 50MPa and the figure-of-merit 2.9×10-3/K were obtained by controlling the mixing ratio of large powders (PL) and small powders (PS). Compared with the conventionally prepared single crystal thermoelectric materials, the bending strength was increased up to more than three times and the figure-of-merit Z was similar those of single crystals. It is expected that the mechanical properties could be improved by using hybrid powders without degradation of thermoelectric properties.

AbstractThe p-type Te-doped Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 and n-type SbI3-doped Bi2Te2.85Se0.15 thermoelectric compounds were fabricated by hot pressing in the temperature range of 380 to 440 °C under 200 MPa in Ar. Both the compounds were highly dense and showed high crystalline quality. The grains of the compounds were preferentially oriented and contained many dislocations through the hot pressing. The fracture path followed the transgranular cleavage planes, which are perpendicular to the c-axis. In addition, with increasing the pressing temperature, the figure of merit was increased. The highest values of figure of merit for the p- and n-type compounds, which were obtained at 420 °C, were 2.69 × 10−3/K and 2.35×10−3/K, respectively.

This contribution deals with the mechanochemical synthesis, characterization, and thermoelectric properties of tetrahedrite-based materials, Cu12-xMxSb4S13 (M = Fe2+, Zn2+, Cd2+; x = 0, 1.5, 2). High-energy mechanical milling allows obtaining pristine and substituted tetrahedrites, after short milling under ambient conditions, of stoichiometric mixtures of the corresponding commercially available binary sulfides, i.e., Cu2S, CuS, Sb2S3, and MS (M = Fe2+, Zn2+, Cd2+). All the target materials but those containing Cd were obtained as single-phase products; some admixture of a hydrated cadmium sulfate was also identified by XRD as a by-product when synthesizing Cu10Cd2Sb4S13. The as-obtained products were thermally stable when firing in argon up to a temperature of 350–400 °C. Overall, the substitution of Cu(II) by Fe(II), Zn(II), or Cd(II) reduces tetrahedrites’ thermal and electrical conductivities but increases the Seebeck coefficient. Unfortunately, the values of the thermoelectric figure of merit obtained in this study are in general lower than those found in the literature for similar samples obtained by other powder processing methods; slight compositional changes, undetected secondary phases, and/or deficient sintering might account for some of these discrepancies.

Optimal Effect

The Bi–Te thermoelectric system shows an excellent figure of merit (ZT) near room temperature. Research on increasing the ZT value for n‑type Bi–Te is imperative because the thermoelectric properties of this compound are inferior to those of the p-type material. For this purpose, n-type Bi2Te3-ySey powders with various amounts of Se dopant (0.3 ≤ y ≤ 0.6) were synthesized by a vacuum melting-grinding process to improve the physical properties. The ZT value of the sintered bodies was investigated in the temperature range of 298–423 K with regard to the electrical and thermal characteristics. As the Se content increased, the electrical conductivity decreased owing to a reduction in the carrier concentration, which improved the overall value of ZT. The thermal conductivity clearly decreased as the Se content increased in the temperature range of 298–373 K due to increased alloy scattering, as well as a reduction in the lattice thermal conductivity caused by crystal grain boundary scattering. At room temperature, Bi2Te2.7Se0.3 (y = 0.3) exhibited the highest ZT of 0.85. At increased temperatures, the ZT value was highest for Bi2Te2.55Se0.45 (y = 0.45), indicating that the optimal effect of the Se dopants varies depending on the temperature range.

Zm21 Magnesium Alloy

The mechanical properties and microstructure of the as-extruded ZM21 magnesium alloy and its modified alloy ZME210 with addition of 0.35wt% cerium were investigated with different extrusion ratios from 14 to 182 by using mechanical property test, microscopic structure quantitative analysis, SEM observation and energy spectrum analysis. The results showed that both ZM21 and ZME210 had an extrusion ratio limit for grain refining, and the grains were found to be finer with higher extrusion ratio when the ratio was not higher than the limit value. The extrusion ratio limit for the best effect for grain refining of ZME210 is lower than that of ZM21. It was found that the Ce can refine the grains effectively after hot extrusion with different extrusion ratios. The effects of Ce on the microstructure and mechanical properties were analyzed.

Chips Recycling

AZ91D magnesium alloy is prepared by hot extrusion of recycled machined chips and its fractures and mechanical properties are investigated at various extrusion conditions. Cold-press is employed to prepare extrusion billets of AZ91D magnesium alloy chips, and then the billets are hot extruded at 573K-723K with an extrusion ratio of 11:1. The results show that tensile strength and elongation of the extrusion magnesium alloy with the extrusion temperature of 673K and the extrusion rate of 0.08mm/s can reach 380MPa and 6%, respectively. Fracture surface presents a mix mechanism of dimple-like fracture and gliding fracture. Due to grain refinement by cold-press and hot extrusion, mechanical properties of extruded rods are much higher than those of as-cast AZ91D magnesium alloy. Also, much lower energy consumption is necessary for this recycling compared to the conventional casting process. Solid state recycling is an efficient method for magnesium alloy chips recycling.
