The sintering of materials involves at least two processes: densification of the body and growth of grains in the body. The longevity of grains is usually achieved through the movement of grain boundaries. According to the classical theory of grain growth kinetics, the difference in free energy between the two sides of a curved grain boundary is the driving force that causes the interface to move ...

After purchasing our company's nano iron oxide powder, the customer found that the particle size was larger during testing. Why is that? Because the particle size of nano powder is very fine, it is easy to agglomerate, so the large particle size tested is the particle size after agglomeration. So how can we effectively disperse nano iron oxide powder? Next, we will introduce how to use ultrasonic ...

The meanings of metamorphic treatment, grain refinement, and primary phase refinement or morphology change are different, and sometimes the term metamorphic treatment is used to summarize these contents. (1) Deterioration treatment. For simple binary Al Si alloys, such as Z102 containing 11%~13% Si, it is a typical eutectic alloy. Its organization consists of coarse needle shaped (should be layere...

In transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis, the primary and crucial step in obtaining a high-quality image that can be interpreted reasonably is sample preparation. Inappropriate sample thickness, poor conductivity, or damage introduced during sample preparation can directly lead to abnormal electron beam penetration, image distortion, and even sample scrapping. TEM sample requirements ① T...

With the increasing demand for high thermal conductivity materials, filled thermal conductive polymer composites have good application prospects. The performance of thermal conductive composite materials largely depends on the selection of thermal conductive fillers. Aluminum oxide (Al2O3)is a common ceramic filler with high hardness and good thermal conductivity, and is a commonly used choice to ...

Powder surface modification changes the surface state of particles through physical or chemical means, with the core being to break the agglomeration force between particles. When the particle size of the powder decreases to the micrometer or nanometer level, the surface energy sharply increases, and van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonds, and other gravitational forces cause the particles to sponta...
