  • Zirconium carbide powder is an important high-temperature structural material. It is a gray metallic transition-metal powder, characterized by high hardness and good thermal resistance. In addition, it is effective at reflecting infrared wavelengths. Therefore, it is suitable for applications in aerospace materials and energy storage.

    A variety of processes are employed to transform zirconium carbide precursors into nano ZrC powder. The synthesized powders have a small average crystallite size of 200nm. Moreover, the particle size is controlled and dispersed uniformly. This powder can be used for composite materials and SPS applications.

    Several studies were carried out to study the phase transformation and gas release in the system ZrO2-B2O3-C. Thermal analysis and thermogravimetry were carried out to determine the temperature changes in the system. Finally, the powder trajectory and diffraction patterns were investigated. These methods help to determine the lattice parameter and melt degree.

    Moreover, the results of these studies showed that the heat capacity of the specimen increases rapidly from room temperature to 300 degC. The heat capacity of the specimen is largely influenced by the Debye temperature. Consequently, the heat capacity of the specimen increases with the rising relative density. However, the activation energy is significantly higher for conventional hot pressing than for SPS.

    X-ray diffraction was also carried out. The diffraction pattern of the raw powder was investigated. Additionally, copper was used as the target. Compared with the reference peaks along the diffracted planes, the diffracted pattern of the starting powder was estimated.

  • The present invention relates to an emulsion comprising at least one fatty acid and a water soluble emulsifying agent. In particular, the invention provides an emulsion comprising at least 88% by mass of distilled water and a surfactant, wherein the emulsion remains in a viscous liquid form and does not require pH adjustment.

    The physical stability of a formulation containing an emulsion is a critical property. Therefore, the solubility and phase-transition temperature of a stearic acid emulsion were studied. For this purpose, the solubility of stearic acid was altered by incorporating three organic amines as counterions. This change resulted in a more stable emulsion.

    The effect of the stearic acid content was investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Further, the rheological properties of the emulsions were determined by rheological characterizations.

    The physical characteristics of the emulsion include its apparent viscosity, pH, and oil globule size. Furthermore, the emulsion is characterized by the presence of a discontinuous lipophilic phase and a hydrophilic phase.

    To prepare the emulsion, the stearic acid is suspended in water at a 5% concentration. The emulsion is then processed through high-temperature emulsification equipment. Once the emulsion is complete, it is mixed with a food-grade disperser.

    A stearic acid emulsion consists of a suspension of 51.3 grams of chemically pure stearic acid. It is mixed with a suspension of 5.60 g of calcium oxide and 300 mL of hot water.

  • Aluminum carbide is a hydrocarbon derivative containing the chemical formula Al4C3. This material is a yellow to brown powder that is formed from the reaction between molten aluminum and carbon particles.

    It is a solid that possesses a relatively high molar mass of about 3.5 g/mol. These compounds are resistant to corrosion and wear. They are also excellent candidates for coatings.

    The primary reaction product is a brittle aluminum carbide. It is a refractory substance that can decompose with the production of methane. In addition, the thermodynamic stability of aluminum in aqueous solutions depends on the acidity of the solution.

    Aluminium combines well with other elements to form aluminum alloys. This allows for the production of lighter materials with increased strength and thermal expansion. For instance, aluminum is used in electrical transmission lines because of its light weight. A small amount of aluminium carbide is commonly found as an impurity in technical calcium carbide.

  • Aluminum carbide is a type of chemical derivative of aluminum. The chemical formula of aluminium carbide is Al4C3. It can be produced by a process known as electrochemical refining.

    It is a brittle and refractory substance, which can be used for corrosion protection. Aluminium carbide is also used as an abrasive in high-speed cutting tools.

    Carbide compounds are formed from an anion of a carbon atom or multiple atoms. They are refractory and extremely hard. Other compounds have complex structures.

    There are two kinds of carbide compounds: acetylides and ionic carbides. They can be synthesized directly from hydrogen or alkenes, or indirectly by reacting aluminum with corresponding alkali metal fluorides.

    Aluminum carbide is a pale yellow to brown crystal. It has a hexagonal crystal structure. It decomposes in water, producing methane. This substance has low thermal expansion and is stable up to about 1400 degC.

    It is resistant to corrosion in air and in dry environments. However, at sufficiently high temperatures, the carbon fibers may disintegrate.

    Aluminum carbide is produced by heating a mixture of elements to a temperature of over 1000 degC. After a certain period of time, the residue is recycled to an arc furnace.

    Aluminum dross is typically composed of calcite. White dross can be a useful raw material for hydrogen production. In addition, it can be exploited to perform an aluminum-water reaction.

  • Tungsten boride is a compound of tungsten and boron, and has a high strength and high temperature resistance. This material has applications in the fields of wear-resistant coating for wear parts and anti-friction materials. It is also used in semiconductor thin film.

    These borides are available in powder and nanopowder forms. They are produced from a direct reaction between a metal tungsten and elemental boron. The boride is then sintered or thermally bonded to a substrate, such as aluminum, to improve toughness and bonding strength.

    Boron is a much less expensive transition metal than tungsten, and this lowers the cost of manufacturing the material. Boron is used as a filler for various industrial and consumer products. In a variety of industries, such as aerospace, tungsten boride is a highly desired material.

    Tungsten boride has a wide range of potential applications, including anti-friction materials, catalysts, and catalytic materials. It has high hardness, chemical stability, and melt point. Because of its versatility, tungsten boride has a wide range of uses. However, it has a number of limiting factors.

    For instance, the boron content can vary significantly and there is a large degree of polysomatism. This leads to difficulties in obtaining single crystals.

    Furthermore, the density of the borides is not uniform, resulting in significant variations in literature. This could mean that other borides are present in a given sample, which can have an impact on its properties.

    As a result, the mechanical properties of tungsten boride are closely related to its purity. If the boron content is low, the density will be lower, making it ideal for lighter weight applications.
