Oxidation resistance and thermal shock resistance were researched, phase composition was analyzed by XRD. The results showed that the oxidation of SiC in additives could protect carbon in specimens effectively and thus decreased the mass loss ratio and oxidation area, and improved the oxidation resistance of the specimen. Thermal shock resistance was improved owing to the micro crack toughening of ZrO2 and grain toughening of SiC. In this experiment, the specimens with 6 wt% ZrO2 -SiC composite powder or 6 wt% SiC powder had the best oxidation resistance and thermal shock resistance.展开更多

After curing at 220 ℃ and coke-embedded firing at 1 500 ℃ , the apparent porosity, cold crushing strength, cold modulus of rupture, permanent linear change on heating, thermal shock resistance and slag resistance of the specimens were studied comparatively. The results indicate that： （ 1 ） after curing at 220 ℃ and coke-embedded firing at 1 500 ℃, the specimen with microporous magnesia-rich spinel replacing fused magnesia has lower bulk density and higher apparent porosity than the common low car- bon MgO - C specimen. After curing at 220 ℃, the specimen with microporous aggregate has lower strength than common low carbon MgO - C specimen, but after coke-embedded firing at 1 500℃, it has higher strength and lower permanent linear change on heating; （2） low carbon MgO - C specimen using microporous magnesia-rich spinel to replace fused magnesia aggregate has better thermal shock resistance but worse slag resistance.展开更多

Application of silicon as a metallic agent in Al2O3-C slide gate plate production is usual. In fact, a non-oxide bond can be generated due to the reaction between silicon and carbon under reducing atmosphere in the plate matrix. This non-oxide bond can enhance the mechanical strength and abrasion resistance. In order to improve the mechanical and thermo-mechanical properties, functional additives can be aimed to lower the sinte- ring temperature and tailor the microstructure. For this reason, the effect of a special solid state sintering aid addition on the microstructure and thermo-mechanical properties of Al2O3-C slide gate plates in the presence of Si as a metallic component has been investigated. Two types of specimens were pressed at 150 MPa, tempered at 200 ℃ and fired in coke bed at 1 400 ℃ , respectively. Physical （ BD and AP ） , mechanical （ CCS and MOR ） and thermo-mechanical （ HMOR ） properties were determined; in addition, phase composition was characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis （ XRD ） and microstructure of specimens was investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy （FESEM）. Results have shown that the addition of sintering aid increased the generation of cation vacancy in Al2O3 structure which enhanced the cation diffusion and densification process ; consequently, CCS, MOR and HMOR of specimens increased drasticallywhile bulk density and apparent porosity remained un- changed.展开更多

Waliguan （WLG） site. The overall average WlRC mass concentration was （1183 ± 120）ng/m3 （n = 79）, while seasonal averages were 2081 ± 1707 （spring）, 454±205 （summer）, 650 ±411 （autumn）, and 1019 ± 703 （winter） ng/m3. Seasonal variations in WIRC mass concentrations were consistent with black carbon measurements from an aethalometer, although WIRC concentrations were typically higher, especially in winter and spring. The δ13C PDB value （-25.3 ± 0.8）%0 determined for WIRC suggests that its sources are C3 biomass or fossil fuel combustion. No seasonal change in δ13C PDB was evident. The average percent Modern Carbon （pMC） for 14C in WIRC for winter and spring was （67.2 ± 7.7）% （n = 29）. Lower pMC values were associated with air masses trans- ported from the area east of WLG, while higher pMC values were associated with air masses from the Tibetan Plateau, southwest of WLG. Elevated pMC values with abnormally high mass concentrations of TSP and WIRC were measured during a dust storm event.展开更多
