ABSTRAKPembakaran spontan batubara dapat menjadi masalah yang serius terutama bagi kegiatan penambangan karena dapat menyebabkan terjadinya kebakaran pada penimbunan batubara atau ledakan gas metana pada tambang bawah tanah batubara. Penelitian kali ini akan dititikberatkan pada pengaruh ukuran butir batubara dan tingkat kepadatan batubara terhadap perilaku pembakaran spontan batubara. Ukuran butir yang digunakan dengan penelitian ini adalah -10+14 mesh, -60+80 mesh dan -170+200 mesh dengan tingkat kepadatan 0 kPa dan 50 kPa. Ukuran butir ini dipilih untuk mewakili kondisi ukuran butir relatif besar hingga kecil pada penimbunan batubara, sedangkan tingkat kepadatan diasumsikan berasal dari ground pressure dozer sebesar 50 kPa. Dalam penelitian kali ini, digunakan metode oksidasi adiabatik dengan mengalirkan gas oksigen dengan debit 0,05 L/menit pada tabung uji. Selain itu, dilakukan pula pengujian difusi oksigen untuk menentukan laju kenaikan konsentrasi oksigen pada masing-masing parameter. Ukuran butir dan tingkat kepadatan butiran batubara memiliki pengaruh besar terhadap terjadinya pembakaran spontan batubara. Semakin kecil ukuran percontoh maka nilai R70 semakin besar. Adanya pemadatan memiliki pengaruh yang berbeda terhadap nilai R70 pada ukuran butir yang berbeda. ABSTRACTSpontaneous combustion of coal can be a serious problem especially for mining activities because it can cause fires in coal stockpiling or methane gas explosions in coal underground mines. This research will focus on the influence of coal grain size and coal compaction on the spontaneous combustion behavior of coal. The grain sizes used in this study are -10 + 14 mesh, -60 + 80 mesh and -170 + 200 mesh with a compaction pressure of 0 kPa and 50 kPa. This grain size was chosen to represent the condition from large to small grain size in coal stockpile, while the compaction level is assumed to come from the dozer ground pressure of 50 kPa. In this study, an adiabatic oxidation method was used by flowing oxygen gas with a discharge of 0.05 L / min in the test tube. In addition, an oxygen diffusion test was also carried out to determine the rate of oxygen concentration increase for each parameter. Grain size and compaction level of coal grains have a major influence on the spontaneous combustion of coal. The smaller the sample size, the greater the R70 value. The presence of compaction has a different effect on the value of R70 at different grain sizes.

Mechanisms Of Plastic Deformation

The influence of grain size on the physical yield strength of the polycrystal is considered by the method of cellular automata. The physical yield strength of the polycrystal in this model is defined as the stress at which, the plastic deformation covers the entire cross section of the sample from one edge to another. Three mechanisms of plastic deformation are considered. The first one is an initiation of plastic flow from grain to grain by dislocation pile-ups. The second one is plastic flow in different grains independently of each other under the action of external stress and the third one is intergranular slippage. Computer simulations have shown that at large grain sizes (d > 200 nm) deformation propagates from grain to grain by initiating dislocations pile-ups, since in this case pile-ups are quite powerful and have a large effect on neighboring grains. At average values of grain size (20 nm <d <200 nm) plastic deformation occurs in the grains independently of each other, and the external strain give a major influence on plastic deformation. With further reduction of the grain sizes (d <20 nm) the main mechanism of deformation is intergranular slippage. because in grains of this size are quite large image stresses that do not allow large dislocation clusters. In small grains the image forces are quite large to prevent large dislocation pile-ups formation, but the mass and volume of grain are quite small to turn or slip its under the action of external stresses. In accordance with these mechanisms, on the calculated dependence of the physical yield strength vs grain size, there are three areas with different angles of inclination in logarithmic coordinates. Keywords: yield point, grain size, Hall―Petch low.

Polycrystalline Molybdenum

Samples of molybdenum TZM alloy in sheet form have been investigated in the warm-worked condition and after recrystallisation heat treatments to produce a range of different grain sizes. Orientation distributions were calculated from measured pole figure data and specimens were cut at various angles around the sheet to determine the planar variations in Young's modulus and microyield stress. Elastic moduli have been calculated for the materials on the basis of several different models using the preferred orientation data. Excellent agreement is found between the measured moduli and those calculated according to the Eshelby-Kröner-Kneer model. Variations in stress level from grain to grain were also calculated according to this model and used to predict the initiation of plastic flow, i.e. the microyield point. These predictions also agree closely with measured values. Variation of grain size did not have a major influence on elasticity or microyielding.

The transverse properties were inferior to the longitudinal properties for the existence of banded structure in 20G steel. In order to eliminate the banded structure and improve the transverse performance of 20G steel, different heat treatment processes were adopted. The results showed that conventional normalizing could reduce the banded structure and refine the grain sizes. When 20G was heated with 10°C/min heating rated and then held at 920°C for 2h, the banded structure in the steel was almost eliminated and the microstructure was homogeneous with fine grain size, the strength increased by 14%. The non-metallic inclusion and carbide in the microstructure leaded to stress concentration and separation with the base metal. To some extent, heat treatment can improve the distribution and form of non-metallic inclusions.

Good Homogeneity

Using Mechanical Activation it is possible to obtain small grain size and good homogeneity in a ceramic piece. For ZnO varistor devices Mechanical Activation appears to be a good fabrication technique, since good homogeneity and small grain sizes are advantageous microstructural features. The typical formulation is composed by ZnO, Bi2O3, Sb2O3, CoO, MnO2 and Cr2O3 as raw materials, and during sintering, several dissolutions and reactions to form pyrochlore and spinel phases occur. When Mechanical Activation is applied to the entire formulation, it is difficult to know what processes are being mechanically activated due to the complexity of the system. The aim of the present work was to clarify how the mechanical activation is taking place in a typical ZnO varistor formulation. The methodology consisted in the formation of all possible combinations of two out of the five oxides above mentioned and to apply mechanical activation on the mixture of each pair of powders. The results showed that systems containing Bi2O3 are prone to react during mechanical activation. Also, reduction reactions were observed in MnO2. In addition, the powder mixture corresponding to the whole formulation was milled in a planetary mill, pressed and sintered, and varistor devices were fabricated. Improvement in the nonlinearity coefficient and breakdown voltage was observed.

It is now well-established that processing through the application of severe plastic deformation (SPD) leads to a significant reduction in the grain size of a wide range of metallic materials. This paper examines the fabrication of ultrafine-grained materials using high-pressure torsion (HPT) where this process is attractive because it leads to exceptional grain refinement with grain sizes that often lie in the nanometer or submicrometer ranges. Two aspects of HPT are examined. First, processing by HPT is usually confined to samples in the form of very thin disks but recent experiments demonstrate the potential for extending HPT also to bulk samples. Second, since the strains imposed in HPT vary with the distance from the center of the disk, it is important to examine the development of inhomogeneities in disk samples processed by HPT.

AbstractWe have synthesized Gd-doped ceria polycrystalline samples (5, 10, 15 %mol), having relative densities exceeding 95% and grain sizes between 30 and 160 nm after axial hot pressing (750 °C, 250 MPa). The samples were prepared by sintering nanopowders obtained by sol-gel chemistry methods having a very narrow size distribution centered at about 16 nm. SEM and X-ray diffraction were performed to characterize the sample microstructures and to assess their structures. We report ionic conductivity measurements using impedance spectroscopy. It is important to investigate the properties of these systems with sub-micrometric grains and as a function of their composition. Therefore, samples having micrometric and nanometric grain sizes (and different Gd content) were studied. Evidence of Gd segregation near the grain boundaries is given and the impact on the ionic conductivity, as a function of the grain size and Gd composition, is discussed and compared to microcrystalline samples.

The Impact

Context. Species abundances in the interstellar medium (ISM) strongly depend on the chemistry occurring at the surfaces of the dust grains. To describe the complexity of the chemistry, various numerical models have been constructed. In most of these models, the grains are described by a single size of 0.1 μm. Aims. We study the impact on the abundances of many species observed in the cold cores by considering several grain sizes in the Nautilus multi-grain model. Methods. We used grain sizes with radii in the range of 0.005 μm to 0.25 μm. We sampled this range in many bins. We used the previously published, MRN and WD grain size distributions to calculate the number density of grains in each bin. Other parameters such as the grain surface temperature or the cosmic-ray-induced desorption rates also vary with grain sizes. Results. We present the abundances of various molecules in the gas phase and also on the dust surface at different time intervals during the simulation. We present a comparative study of results obtained using the single grain and the multi-grain models. We also compare our results with the observed abundances in TMC-1 and L134N clouds. Conclusions. We show that the grain size, the grain size dependent surface temperature and the peak surface temperature induced by cosmic ray collisions, play key roles in determining the ice and the gas phase abundances of various molecules. We also show that the differences between the MRN and the WD models are crucial for better fitting the observed abundances in different regions in the ISM. We show that the small grains play a very important role in the enrichment of the gas phase with the species which are mainly formed on the grain surface, as non-thermal desorption induced by collisions of cosmic ray particles is very efficient on the small grains.

ABSTRACTThe ultrafine grain sizes and high diffusivities in nanophase materials assembled from atomic clusters suggest that these materials may have a strong tendency toward superplastic mechanical behavior. Both small grain size and enhanced diffusivity can be expected to lead to increased diffusional creep rates as well as to a significantly greater propensity for grain boundary sliding. Recent mechanical properties measurements at room temperature on nanophase Cu, Pd, and TiO2, however, give no indications of superplasticity. Nonetheless, significant ductility has been clearly demonstrated in these studies of both nanophase ceramics and metals. The synthesis of cluster-assembled nanophase materials is described and the salient features of what is known of their structure and mechanical properties is reviewed. Finally, the answer to the question posed in the title is addressed.
