In order to observe the effect of the aggregate phases between 2 mm and 16 mm without overlap with rheological effects induced by the cement hy-dration and without interactions with a threshold fine sand particle size that affects both, paste and aggregates, rheological experiments were conducted on a limestone filler based paste mixed with aggregates up to 16 mm. Vari-ous aggregate fractions were blended and mixed with the replacement paste in different volumetric ratios.
The dry aggregates’ flow coefficients were determined and compared to yield stress and plastic viscosity values at different aggregate volume fractions. The results indicated that the flow coefficient is not a suitable parameter to predict the performance of the aggregates in the paste. It was shown that the yield stress of pastes is largely determined by the blend of different aggregate fractions, while the plastic viscosity to large extend depends upon the coars-est aggregate fraction.
Based on the results, ideal aggregate composition ranges for minimised yield stress are presented. For the plastic viscosity no such grading curves to achieve minimum values could be found, but high viscosity curves are identified.
Technically relevant P92 steel (9% Cr) was coated with a micron-thick porous alumina layer prepared by sol-gel technique and treated with flue gas (60 CO2-30 H2O-2 O2-1 SO2-7 N2 (mole fraction in %)) at 650 ° to mimic an oxyfuelcombustion process. Local defects in the coating were marked using focused ion beam (FIB) technique and were inspected after exposition to hot flue gas atmosphere at 300, 800, and 1300 h, respectively. Local defects like agglomerated alumina sol particles tend to spall off from the coating uncovering the underlying dense chromia scale. Re-coating was found to restore the protection ability from oxidation when repeatedly treated with hot flue gas. Cracks and voids did not promote the local oxidation due to the formation of crystalline Mn/S/O species within and on top of the coating. The protective character of the steel-coating system is a result of (i) the fast formation of a dense chromia scale at the surface of sol-gel alumina-coated P92 steel bars in combination with (ii) the porous alumina coating acting as diffusion barrier, but also as diffusion partner in addition with (iii) fast Mn outward diffusion capturing the S species from flue gas.
Nano-TiO2 powder is known to show high photocatalytic reactivity in the degradation of several organic pollutants.
In thiswork, the powderwas fixed on the surface of SiO2 granuleswith the size of several micrometers using a high shear granulation process. Nanozirconia sol was applied as an inorganic binder. When the samples were tempered at 300 °C, they showed high stability in an aqueous solution for several hours. An energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis confirmed that the cores and shells of the granules consisted solely of SiO2 and TiO2 respectively, and that ZrO2 was found throughout the whole granules. Methylene blue (MB) was employed as amodel systemto evaluate the photocatalytic activity of the TiO2 nanopowder and coated granules.
Itwas shown that the TiO2-coated granules lead to the degradation ofMB under UV irradiation,whereas no effect was observed in the dark. After the Degradation experiments the granules could be recovered and they remained active for further applications.
Improved wetting of bare and pre-coated steels by aqueous alumina sols for optimum coating success
(2010)
Alumina coatings are a promising candidate for
the protection of metals prone to high temperature corrosion.
If applied via sol–gel process, especially by using so
called aqueous modified Yoldas-sols, the deposition is
hardened by differences in surface free energy of substrate
and sol. In this paper the apparent surface properties of
samples to be coated and sols were examined by contact
angle measurements, IR-spectroscopy and tensiometry.
The results imply, after consideration of possible uncertainties,
the use of surface tension reducing 2-butanol
already present during hydrolysis of the sols to obtain an
easy and successful coating process.
Though Ni-base superalloys show a high oxidation and corrosion resistance, coatings could still improve these properties, especially if used at temperatures up to 1000 °C. Here, a coating was prepared by applying a boehmite-sol via dip-coating and a subsequent heat treatment at 600 °C for 30 minutes. To evaluate the coating, the oxidation behavior of bare and alumina coated Ni-base alloy Inconel 625 in air at 900 °C was studied for up to 2000 h. Electron microscopic studies of sample surfaces and cross-sections showed that (i) in the 3.5 µm – 6.3 mm thick scale formed on the bare alloy, Fe and Ni are located as fine precipitates at the grain boundaries of the chromia-rich scale, (ii) Ni and Ti are concentrated to a minor degree at the grain boundaries of the scale, too; and for the coated sample: (iii) the only 1.8 µm thick sol-gel alumina coating slows down the formation of chromia on the alloy surface and reduces the outward diffusion of the alloy constituents. The protective effect of the coating was evidenced by (i) diminished chromium diffusion at grain boundaries resulting in less pronounced string-like protrusions at the outer surface of the coated IN 625, (ii) formation of a Cr-enriched zone above the alloy surface which was thinner than the scale on the uncoated sample, (iii) no detectable Cr-depleted zone at the alloy surface, and (iv) a narrower zone of formation of Kirkendall pores.
