Rod Extrusion of Cordierite-Based Paste Containing Aluminum-Rich Anodizing Sludge
M.J. Ribeiro and J.A. Labrincha
The plasticites of various aluminum-rich anodizing sludge batch formulations that contained a plasticizer and a lubricant were tested using stress–deformation curves, and the effects of ram speed and pressure were evaluated using the Benbow–Bridgwater model. |
Effect of Silicon Carbide on Reactions between Molten Steel and Fused Magnesia–Silicon Carbide Composite Refractory
Yaowu Wei, Nan Li and Changming Ke
Interactions between MgO–SiC composite and liquid steel resulted in decomposition of SiC particles by the molten steel that damaged the integrity of the composite. |
Influence of Water on Structure and Properties of Fluorine-Doped Tin Oxide Films
Hong-Li Zhao, Qi-Ying Liu, Yong-Xiu Cai and Fu-Cheng Zhang
The surface structure, thickness, sheet resistance and light transmission of fluorine-doped tin oxide film prepared using atmosphere-pressure chemical vapor deposition on float-glass were greatly affected by activator water content.
