Abstract:
Doped porous titania with anatase phase was prepared via thermal hydrolysis of industrial titanyl sulfate solution as titanium source,by adjusting the index of the titanium solution and the volume ratio of titanium solution to water.The as-prepared samples were characterized by XRD,particle size distribution,nitrogen absorption-desorption method and XRF determinations.Different volume ratio of titanium solution to water has great effects on the crystal structure,particle size,specific surface area and pore structure of the porous titania.Improving of crystallite of anantase phase,increase of specific surface area and impure ion dopant can all promote the photocatalytic activity of porous titania.At the volume ratio of titanium solution to water of 100:35,the porous titania was prepared with the biggest specific surface area,the SBET of 215.4 m2/g,which had a narrow pore size distribution and doped with a small amount of oxides.And it showed high photocatalytic activity on degradation of methylene blue,with degradation rate of 92.8%.

2011, 32(3): 16-20.
Abstract(18) PDF(1)
Abstract:
Thermal healing experiment of inner cracks made by compressing a drilled hole on samples of Q235 steel with various vanadium addition was carried out.The effects of vanadium on inner cracks thermal healing and morphology evolution were investigated.SEM analysis results displayed that inner crack samples have apparent healing at 800℃ and the healing is best with 0.1% vanadium addition.After vanadium added to the matrix partial of it is soluted in the matrix.The soluted vanadium reduces the activation energy for diffusion of Fe atoms,accelerates the self-diffusion of Fe atoms.The primary mechanism of inner crack healing in metals is diffusion thermal healing and the recrystallization.It requires the systemic method to research the microstructure both of the crack zone and the matrix of internal cracks healing in the steel.

2011, 32(3): 34-39.
Abstract(16) PDF(1)
Abstract:
A sliver-type lineal defect on the surface of hot-rolled Q345B plate was investigated.The morphology,structure and component of the defect's cross and longitudinal sections were analyzed by using optical microscope and SEM-EDS.The results showed that the defect with concavity is a wrinkle type defect,which is derived from the transverse corner crack of the slab and formed during the rolling process.Accordingly,a formation mechanism of the defect is proposed,and it is supposed that in order to eliminate the defect,the formation of the transverse corner crack should be prevented.

2011, 32(3): 40-45,50.
Abstract(20) PDF(1)
Abstract:
Two industrial produced hot-rolled high strength IF steel strips were cold rolled in laboratory cold rolling mill,and then annealed in salt bath according to the process of a continuous hot-dip galvanizing line.Optical microscopy and tensile tests were used to study the effect of coiling temperature(670℃ and 710℃,respectively) and cold-rolling reduction(55%,65%,75% and 85%,respectively)on their properties.The results showed that,lower coiling temperature refines the grain size of the hot-rolled strip,but the grain size of the cold-rolled and annealed steel is relatively coaser and the rm value is also relatively lower.the ferrite grain size of the cold-rolled and annealed steel remains fine.However,the cold-rolled and annealed steel has much lower yield strength as a result of scavenging of interstitial carbon atoms by means of NbC ripening during annealing.The coiling temperature has little effect on the strength,elongation and nm value of the cold-rolled and annealed steels.An increase of cold rolling reduction from 55% to 75% almost doesn't affect the ferrite grain size of the annealed steel.A further increase of cold rolling rduction to 85% only refines the ferrite grain a little.The cold rolling reduction has no obvious effect on strength and elongation and has no effect on nm value.But rm value increases when the cold-rolling reduction increases.

Abstract(14) PDF(1)
Abstract:
In this paper,0.36% silicon-containing steels were used and the growth dynamics and microstructure of hot dip galvanized Zn-Sn-Ni(wNi ≤ 0.12%,wSn=1%) coating of those steels at 450℃ were studied in a series of galvanizing experiments and by various of testing methods such as SEM,electrochemical polarization and XRD.The results showed that the Zn-Sn-Ni alloy bath method can effectively restrain the over-growth of galvanized coatings of reactive steels and gain eligible coatings with proper thickness,and compact microstructure.The corrosion rate of Zn-Sn-Ni coating is less than that of pure zinc coating in 5% NaCl solution.Zn-Sn-Ni coating shows lower corrosion current,the increasing polarization resistance,and presents the better corrosion resistance than pure zinc coating.The corrosion products of Zn-Sn-Ni and pure zinc coating are both composed of Zn5(OH)8Cl2·H2O and ZnO.

Abstract:
The causes of drawing cleavage brittle fracture of large gauge high carbon steel 82B wire rod are analyzed by carrying out metallographic structure inspection and analysis.They are found out as the result of Mn,Cr central segregation causing formation of martensite in the centre of the wire rod,and the center martensite fracture becomes one of the sources of crack in the process of drawing because of the difference of deformation rate between the central part and the other area.There are some defects of scar and scratches near the fracture surface.It is manifested,through deeper analyzing,the main cause of drawing cleavage brittle fracture is the combined action of central martensite and surface defect.The incidence rate of cleavage brittle fracture defect has been reduced effectively through optimizing the content of Mn and Cr and improving the technics of steelmaking,rolling and drawing.
