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...

Why do nanoparticles aggregate? 1.Surface free energy driven mechanism Nanoparticles have a larger specific surface area and unsaturated surface atoms, leading to an increase in surface free energy. Multi particle contact can reduce the total surface area, release interfacial energy, and thus lower the system's free energy. This trend of energy minimization is the intrinsic thermodynamic driving f...

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...
