The Effect of Heat Treatment on Structural and Multiferroic Properties of Phase-Pure BiFeO 3M.YASIN SHAMI,1,3M.S.AWAN,2and M.ANIS-UR-REHMAN 11.—Applied Thermal Physics Laboratory,Department of Physics,COMSATS Institute of Infor-mation Technology,Park Road,Islamabad 44000,Pakistan.2.—Center for Micro and Nano Devices,Department of Physics,COMSATS Institute of Information Technology,Park Road,Islamabad 44000,Pakistan.3.—e-mail:m_yasin_shami@Phase-pure multiferroic BiFeO 3(BFO)was prepared by the coprecipitation technique using diverse precursors bismuth oxide at temperature as low as 400°C.The dependence of structural,microstructural,thermal,electrical (AC and DC),and magnetic properties on sintering temperature was system-atically investigated.Uniaxially pressed samples (Ø8mm)were sintered in air at 500°C to 800°C for 4h.X-ray diffraction analysis was used to determine the amorphous and perovskite nature of as-synthesized and calcined/sintered samples,respectively.The crystallite size of sintered powders increased from 47nm to 67nm.Scanning electron microscopy showed grain growth during sintering,which improved intergranular connectivity and decreased porosity in the samples.The ferroelectric to paraelectric Curie transition temperature (T C )of pure BFO powder was detected by differential scanning calorimetry analysis and found to be 820°C ±1°C.The samples exhibited high AC resis-tivity and dielectric constant,and low loss tangent values.The samples exhibited weak ferromagnetic behavior with an unsaturated magnetization versus magnetic field hysteresis loop at room temperature.Ferroelectric behavior and variation in remnant polarization and coercivity were observed from polarization versus electric field loops.Enhanced capacitance in the magnetic field revealed the magnetoelectric effect in the samples.Key words:Multiferroics,BiFeO 3,sintering,transition temperature,PE,magnetoelectricINTRODUCTIONSingle-phase multiferroic materials having mag-netoelectric coupling between ferroelectric and fer-romagnetic orders have attracted intensive research due to their fascinating fundamental physics and mesmerizing applications.These ferroic orders hardly coexist due to three-dimensional (3D)orbital electronic structure,being essential for magnetism and to reduce the tendency for ferroelectricity.1Such systems are rare in nature,but examples can be found in perovskite oxides such as BiFeO 3(BFO),BiMnO 3,and YMnO 3.BFO is a single-phase mul-tiferroic material at and above room temperature.Itsimultaneously possesses a ferroelectric phase with Curie temperature $820°C and G-type anti-ferromagnetic order with Ne´el temperature (T N )$360°C.2It is anticipated that such materials will play a promising role in next-generation memory devices,due to the intrinsic coupling between the electric polarization and magnetic moments,which could,in principle,permit data to be written elec-trically and then read magnetically.Other fasci-nating applications can be found in spintronic devices,sensors,multiple-state memory ele-ments,electrically tunable ferromagnetic resonance devices,optical filters,satellite communications,and optoelectronic devices.3,4BFO has a distorted perovskite pseudocubic crystal structure with space group R 3c .5Two per-ovskite pseudocubes aligned through their body(Received December 27,2011;accepted May 9,2012;published online May 31,2012)Journal of ELECTRONIC MATERIALS,Vol.41,No.8,2012DOI:10.1007/s11664-012-2138-y Ó2012TMS2216diagonal along[111]direction form a rhombohedral, which combines to form a hexagonal unit cell.The oxygen octahedral is rotated clockwise and anti-clockwise around the[111]direction alternately. Superimposed on this antiferromagnetic order there is a cycloidal spin order with period of620A˚.This spin has been found to be incommensurate with the structural lattice,ultimately exhibiting weak fer-romagnetism at room temperature.6The energy of the BFO unit cell can be lowered by off-centering the bismuth ion with respect to the neighboring oxygen ions.This leads to displacement of bismuth (Bi)cation relative to Fe-O6octahedra,which causes the intrinsic electric polarization.7Practical applications of BFO in industry are hindered due to the formation of impure phases during the synthesis process and volatization of Bi at elevated sintering temperatures.Conductivity in BFO is strongly affected by leakage currents resulting from oxygen vacancies and reduction of Fe3+to Fe2+ions.8Moreover,secondary phases such as Bi2O3,Fe2O3,Bi2Fe4O9,and Bi25FeO39make it very difficult to achieve superior multiferroic orders in BFO.9Synthesis of phase-pure BFO is rather difficult due to the kinetics and thermodynamic properties of the Bi2O3–Fe2O3system.10Recently, we have used a diverse precursor bismuth oxide and optimum conditions to synthesize phase-pure BFO nanopowders by the coprecipitation method.11Dif-ferent researchers have implemented divergent characterizations in various ranges of sintering temperatures.Yao et al.12prepared BFO by solid-state reaction method having a second phase and investigated the effect of sintering in the limited range from815°C to845°C.Bernardo et al.13stud-ied the effect of sintering temperature on BFO dopants(W6+,Nb5+,and Ti4+),carrying out struc-tural and microstructural analyses only.Ding et al.14performed various characterizations on BFO and lanthanum-doped BFO above850°C.In this work,effects of heat treatment on phase-pure BFO samples have been studied.Amorphous powder synthesized at80°C was calcined at400°C. The dependence of structural and multiferroic properties on the sintering temperature of the samples(500°C to800°C)was investigated system-atically.Variations in the capacitance and resistiv-ity of the sintered samples as a function of temperature were also observed.EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES Amorphous BiFeO3powder was synthesized by the coprecipitation technique using analytical-grade iron nitrate nonahydrate Fe(NO3)3Æ9H2O and com-mercial-grade bismuth oxide Bi2O3(99.98%pure). Aqueous solution of 1.0M(molar)of sodium hydroxide(NaOH)was used as the precipitating agent.For the desired crystallite size and grain morphology,a pH value of13was maintained at30°C.15Experimental details are presented elsewhere.11As-prepared powder was calcined at 400°C±5°C for3h and uniaxially pressed (10MPa)into green pellets(Ø8mm).Later,these pellets were sintered at500°C±5°C,600°C±5°C, 700°C±5°C,and800°C±5°C for4h,being named samples S1,S2,S3,and S4,respectively.All heat treatments were carried out in air using a box furnace.Structural analysis and phase composition were determined using x-ray diffractometry(XRD;PAN-alytical,X’Pert Pro)using a Cu K a radiation source, operated at40kV and30mA.Grain size and sur-face morphology were observed using scanning electron microscopy(SEM;Hitachi SU-1500) equipped with energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX).Thermal analysis and phase stability of the samples were studied using differential scanning calorimetry(DSC;STA409C,Netzsch,Germany). The samples were scanned from room temperature to1000°C at heating rate of10°C/min using an empty Al2O3crucible as reference.Measurements were carried out under dynamic atmosphere of inert gas(argon).The dielectric behavior,tan(d),electri-cal AC conductivity,and capacitance in constant magneticfield were measured in the frequency range from20Hz to3MHz.Capacitance data as a function of temperature(30°C to400°C)at four different frequencies were also collected.These measurements were executed on a Wayne Kerr 6440B precision component analyzer.Electrical DC resistivity of the sintered samples was measured using a Keithley6487picometer,from room tem-perature up to300°C.Ferroelectric measurements were carried out using a ferroelectric tester and Keithley8512A electrometer.Magnetic properties were performed on a vibrating-sample magnetome-ter(VSM;Quantum Design Versa Lab plus).RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Structural PropertiesPhase formation,crystallite size,and structural changes of all samples were determined from XRD analysis.Figure1showed XRD patterns of the as-synthesized,calcined,and sintered BFO sam-ples.All peaks were labeled by comparing XRD data with Joint Committee on Powder Diffraction Stan-dards(JCPDS)cards no.01-072-7678(BiFeO3),00-001-1053(Fe2O3),and00-020-0836(Bi2Fe4O9). Figure1a confirms the amorphous nature of as-synthesized powder in which crystalline peaks were absent in the entire2h range.The powder crystallized into perovskite phase(BiFeO3)at tem-perature as low as400°C,as shown in Fig.1b.For sample sintered at500°C for4h,crystallinity improved further,but still no extra peaks other than those for BFO could be observed,as shown in Fig.1(S1).At high sintering temperature,nonper-ovskite phases such as Fe2O3and Bi2Fe4O9were observed,as shown in Fig.1(S2–S4).These extra phases are possibly due to volatization of Bi3+ionsThe Effect of Heat Treatment on Structural and Multiferroic Properties of Phase-Pure BiFeO32217and creation of oxygen vacancies and conversion of Fe 3+to Fe 2+ions.16Phase purity decreased from 100%to 86%from sample S1to S3and then increased slightly to 92%for sample S4,which is due to volatization of Bi 2Fe 4O 9impurity phase near 800°C.The lattice parameters and unit cell volume for all sintered samples were calculated for the hexagonal crystal structure using Chekcell soft-ware.An increasing trend in unit cell parameters aand volume V was observed from 5.57A˚to 5.61A ˚and 374A˚3to 378A ˚3for S1to S4,respectively,whereas the parameter c increased from 13.87A˚to 13.98A˚for S1to S3and then decreased to 13.87A ˚for S4.The fluctuation in peak intensities as shown in the magnified view of the XRD patterns for 2h (31°to 32.5°)in Fig.2confirms the variation in the unit cell parameters.Shift of (104)and (110)peaks towards lower 2h angle indicates an increase in d spacing and strain in the unit cell.Volumetric strain calculated from unit cell parameters increased from 1.1910À3to 9.2910À3,which ispossibly due to the larger ionic radii of Fe 2+(0.77A˚)ions than Fe 3+(0.63A˚)ions.In Fig.2(S4),reduction in the intensity of peak (110)is a sign of structure modification from rhombohedral to orthorhombic unit cell.17The crystallite size for all samples was calculated using the Scherrer formula:t ¼0:9k ðÞ=b cos #B ðÞðÞ;(1)where t is the crystallite size,k is the wavelength ofincident x-rays (k =1.5406A˚),#B is the diffraction angle,and b is the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM).Crystallite size was calculated for the major peak and showed an increasing trend (47nm to 67nm)for samples S1to S3and then decreased to 56nm for S4.Slight decrease in crystallite size is possibly due to modification in crystallite shape and structure.Porosity of all the samples was deter-mined using the formula 18P ¼1Àq m =q t ðÞ;(2)where q m and q t are the measured and theoretical density,respectively.The densities (q m )were mea-sured using Archimedes’method,and the theoreti-cal density (q t =8.41g/cm 3)was calculated using the following formula:q t ¼nM ðÞ=VN A ðÞ;(3)where n is the number of formula units in the BFO hexagonal unit,M is the molecular mass of one formula unit,V is the volume of the unit cell,and N A is Avogadro’s number.The porosity of the sam-ples decreased from 0.56to 0.10after sintering.Microstructure AnalysisThe grain size,its distribution,and the surface morphology of the sintered pellets were observed by SEM.Figure 3shows SEM micrographs of pellets (S1–S4)sintered at different temperatures.It is observed that the sintering temperature signifi-cantly affects the grain morphology and its growth.Grain size increased with sintering temperature,resulting in better ferroelectric connectivity;asaFig.1.XRD patterns of BiFeO 3for (a)as-synthesized powder,(b)powder calcined at 400°C in air for 3h,and for pellets then sintered at (S1)500°C,(S2)600°C,(S3)700°C,and (S4)800°C in air for 4h.Peaks are labeled with JCPDS cards no.01-072-7678(BiFeO 3),00-001-1053(Fe 2O 3),and 00-020-0836(Bi 2Fe 4O 9).Fig.2.Magnified view of XRD pattern for 2h angle (31ºto 32.5º),showing the variation in (104)and (110)peaks of BiFeO 3for pellets sintered at (S1)500°C,(S2)600°C,(S3)700°C,and (S4)800°C.Shami,Awan,and Anis-ur-Rehman2218result,the density of the pellets improved and porosity decreased.The micrographs of sintered pellets show polygon morphology having rounded edges.This is an indication of melt-like behavior,just as in liquid-phase sintering.Thermal AnalysisThe thermal stability,phase transition,and melting temperatures of sintered BFO samples were determined by high-temperature DSC study.Figure 4shows DSC thermograms of BFO samples sintered at 500°C to 800°C.Two adjacent sharpendothermic peaks around 790°C and 820°C appeared for all samples,showing decreasing enthalpy with increasing sintering temperature.These can be interpreted as rhombohedral (a )to orthorhombic (b )and orthorhombic (b )to cubic (d )phase transitions.19These peaks are relatively clo-ser in our samples than previously reported for crushed dendritic single crystal,19and this variation is likely due to nanocrystallites in our BFO samples.The second transition corresponds to the ferroelec-tric to paraelectric Curie phase transformation temperature (T C ).20Finally,there is a sharp endo-thermic peak at 965°C,which corresponds to the heat loss at the melting point of BFO ceramics,in good agreement with literature.21Electrical DC Resistivity Measurements Electrical DC resistivity (q )measurements were carried out using the two-probe method 22,23from room temperature to 300°C as shown in Fig.5.Pressure contacts equal to the pellet size were used after polishing the surfaces.Resistivity at room temperature was in the range of G X -cm,declining to the M X -cm range with increasing sintering temper-ature.This depression is possibly due to reduction in porosity,well-connected grain boundaries,and for-mation of conduction ions at high sintering tem-peratures.All samples manifestedsemiconductingFig.3.SEM micrographs of BiFeO 3for pellets sintered at (S1)500°C,(S2)600°C,(S3)700°C,and (S4)800°C.Fig.4.DSC thermogram of BiFeO 3for pellets S1,S2,S3,and S4sintered at 500°C,600°C,700°C,and 800°C,respectively.The Effect of Heat Treatment on Structural and Multiferroic Properties of Phase-Pure BiFeO 32219behavior within the measuring temperature range.This semiconducting behavior of the samples may be due to the transport mechanism of polaron hopping,electrons thermally activated to the conduction band,and thermally assisted tunneling of charge carriers through grain boundaries.23Electrical AC PropertiesThe dielectric loss tangent [tan(d )],dielectric constant ( e ),and AC conductivity (r AC )of the sin-tered (BFO)sample were measured in the frequency range from 20Hz to 3MHz as shown in Fig.6.Measurements were conducted at room tempera-ture by parallel-plate technique.Two dielectric relaxation peaks were observed in the dielectric loss tangent at the extremes of the frequency measuring range,as shown in Fig.6a.At lower frequencies the contributions to the dielectric constant are due to space charges,electric dipoles,ions,andelectrons.Fig.5.Plot of electrical DC resistivity for pellets S1,S2,S3,and S4sintered at 500°C,600°C,700°C,and 800°C,respectively.Fig.6.Graphs of electrical AC measurements as a function of frequency from 20Hz to 3MHz on a log scale for sintered pellets S1,S2,S3,and S4showing (a)dielectric loss tangent [tan(d )],(b)dielectric constant e ,and (c)AC conductivity r AC .Shami,Awan,and Anis-ur-Rehman2220As the frequency is increased from mHz to a few Hz,space charges do not have sufficient time to build up interfacially and undergo the first relaxation.At high frequencies,the second relaxation is due to dipole moments,which do not have sufficient time to align along the applied varying electric field,and their contribution dies out.24The dielectric constant ( e )was calculated by the following relation:e ¼Cd ðÞ=e 0A ðÞ;(4)where d is the pellet thickness,C is the capacitance,e 0is the permittivity of free space,and A is the cross-sectional area of the pellet.Sample S4in Fig.6b exhibited the maximum value of dielectric constant,which is seemingly due to high density,well-connected grain boundaries,and excess of free ions.All samples displayed a declining progression with increasing frequency.Step-like reduction in dielectric constant indicates lapse of interfacial polarization and then dipole polarization.This dielectric behavior can be explained based on the Maxwell–Wagner model.25The AC conductivity was also evaluated from the dielectric constant ( e )and dielectric loss tangent [tan(d )]in the same frequency range mentioned above using the following relation:18r AC ¼xe 0 e tan d ðÞ;(5)where r AC is the AC conductivity and x is the angular frequency.It can be observed from Fig.6c that r AC increases with increasing frequency,which is in accordance with the Maxwell–Wagner model.25The increase in the electrical conductivity with increasing sintering temperature can be explained by the Koops model.26According to this model,polycrystalline materials have well-conducting grains of resistivity q g and thickness t g which are separated by poorly conducting grain boundaries of resistivity q gb and thickness t gb .The relation of resistivity for such materials will beq s ¼q g þt gb =t g ÀÁq gb :(5)Increasing the sintering temperature will shrinkthe grain boundary thickness and enlarge the grain thickness.Therefore,a decrease of (t gb /t g )will result in an increase of the electrical AC conductivity of the sample.Magnetic CharacterizationThe magnetization as a function of applied mag-netic field (±10kOe)at room temperature for all samples is shown in Fig.7,whereas the inset shows a magnified view of selected area at low applied field (±150Oe).The magnetization versus applied mag-netic field (M –H )loops exhibit almost linear dependence on magnetization field.Although BFO exhibits antiferromagnetic nature in bulk samples,weak ferromagnetic features can be seen in all the samples here.27With the decrease in particle size,the surface-to-volume ratio becomes large and long-range antiferromagnetic order is frequently interrupted at the surfaces.The contribution of uncompensated spins at the surface to the total magnetic moment of the particle increases.An intrinsic spiral spin structure is partially suppressed,which leads to weak ferromagnetism of the nano-particles.28Maximum remnant magnetization (M r =1.9910À3emu/g)and maximum coercivity (H c =120.3Oe)were observed for sample S3.This increase in magnetization may be due to two factors related to increasing sintering temperature.One is the creation of optimum ratio of Fe 3+to Fe 2+ions after incorpora-tion of impurity phases,and the second is strain in the structure which has diverted the canting angle of magnetic moments in cycloidal order.FerroelectricityThe ferroelectric behavior of the samples was investigated at room temperature by polarization versus applied electric field (PE)loops as shown in Fig.8a.PE loops were not saturated for all the sam-ples,which may be due to leakage currents,as BFO bulk sample showed conductive behavior at high voltage.29Variation in shape of the loops,remnant polarization and coercivity were observed with increasing sintering temperature.Lossy capacitor behavior in PE loops increases with increasing sin-tering temperature.Irrespective of the relaxation peaks,similar trend can also be observed in Fig.6a for tan(d ),where the dielectric loss tangent has an increasing trend with increasing sintering tempera-ture.These tendencies are possibly due to rise in leakage current at elevated sintering temperatures.Remnant polarization (2P r )and coercive field (2E c )were measured from the PE loops and are plotted in Fig.8b.Remnant polarization showed an increasing trend with increasing sintering temper-ature,and sample S3exhibited maximum valueofFig.7.M –H loops for BiFeO 3pellets S1,S2,S3,and S4sintered at500°C,600°C,700°C,and 800°C,respectively.Inset shows partially enlarged view from the selected area.The Effect of Heat Treatment on

coercive field (2E c )with sinteringtemperature.Fig.9.Plots of capacitance as a function of temperature from 30°C to 400°C at constant frequencies of 3MHz,2MHz,1MHz,and 0.5MHz for BiFeO 3pellets

volumetric strain in the unit cell,as shown in Fig.2.Maximum coercive field 2E c =116kV/cm 2was also observed for sample S3.The enhanced remnant polarization and coercive field in S3rela-tive to the other samples is due to the optimum tilting of oxygen octahedra with respect to the bis-muth ions in the BFO perovskite structure.Magnetoelectric EffectThe magnetoelectric (ME)effect was observed in two different ways:firstly by measuring the capac-itance as a function of temperature from 30°C to 400°C at constant frequencies of 0.5MHz,1MHz,2MHz,and 3MHz,and secondly by measuring the capacitance of the samples in the frequency range from 20Hz to 3MHz with and without magneticfield.Figure 9shows the capacitance as a function of temperature for all the samples.Maxima incapacitance can be observed around the Ne´el tem-perature (T N )for all the samples.14With increasing temperature,electric dipoles acquire more favorable conditions to orient in the direction of ferromagneticmoments within the sample.Above the Ne´el tem-perature,the ME effect starts to disappear,and the electric dipoles become disordered due to the para-magnetic behavior of the samples,and ultimately the capacitance of the samples exhibits a decreasing trend.T N is different for different samples but comparable to literature values,30shifting towards lower temperature with increasing sintering tem-perature.The capacitance peak for samples S1to S3is at the same temperature for the four applied frequencies.However,the case is different for sample S4,where the capacitance peaks shift with the applied frequency.This implies thattheFig.10.Graphs of capacitance as a function of frequency from 20Hz to 3MHz on a log scale with and without magnetic field for BiFeO 3sintered pellets (a)S1,(b)S2,(c)S3,and (d)S4.Insets of (c)and (d)show magnified views of selected area from their corresponding graphs.The Effect of Heat Treatment on Structural and Multiferroic Properties of Phase-Pure BiFeO 32223antiferromagnetic order in S4is very weak and activation energy from the applied electricfield can alter the Ne´el temperature.Figure10showed the variation in capacitance with and without application of an external applied magneticfield.In the samples without any external field,the electric dipole moments try to align in the direction of magnetic moments,which are in ferro-magnetic order.As the external magneticfield is applied,the magnetization of the sample increases, which means that the magnetic moment has tried to align in the direction of the appliedfield.Ulti-mately,the electric dipoles also reorient in the direction of magnetic moments,which increases the capacitance of the material.This effect can be observed for all the samples and seems to decrease with increasing sintering temperature for sam-ples S3and S4,although this apparent effect is due to larger capacitance values in these samples.Insets of Fig.10present magnified views for S3and S4, showing the variation in capacitance due to the applied magneticfield.CONCLUSIONSHighly resistive,phase-pure BiFeO3has been prepared using a diverse precursor bismuth oxide at temperature as low as400°C.Sintering tempera-ture above500°C significantly influenced the structural and multiferroic properties.XRD analy-sis confirmed the perovskite structure of the sam-ples and showed that the crystallite size increased with increasing sintering temperature.SEM micrographs showed grain growth during sintering and spherical morphology of grains,showing melt-like behavior.DSC

Moreover,they have difficulties in increasing the permeability in GHz region because of Snoek limit[6,7].As one of the ways to overcome these problems,hollow microspheres of low den-sity are suggested.At the same time hollow microspheres also exhibit different catalytic,optical,electric and magnetic prop-erties and have important applications in materials,chemistry, catalysis and biologyfield[8].It is expected that microwave ∗Corresponding author.Tel.:+862787218832;fax:+862787879468.E-mail address:guanjg@(J.G.Guan).absorbing ability can be improved by adjusting the diameter and wall thickness of hollow microspheres or composition and grain size of ferrite nanometer particles.A number of fabrication methods have been used to produce hollow microspheres which are comprised of polymer,metal and ceramic materials,including nozzle reactor approaches (spray drying or pyrolysis)[9,10],emulsion/phase separation techniques(often combined with sol–gel processing)[11], emulsion/interfacial polymerization strategies[12],deposition method on sacrificial cores[13]and self-assembly process [14,15].Among these routes,spray pyrolysis technique was considered simplest and suitable for the synthesis of inorganic ferrite hollow microspheres,and large quantity production is likely by using the route.In this paper,we synthesized ferrite precursor with co-precipitation method and obtained BaFe12O19 hollow microspheres by spray pyrolysis technique followed fur-ther heat treatment,and reported the influence of heat treatment conditions on thefinal structure and magnetic properties of the samples.2.ExperimentalBarium ferrite hollow microspheres were produced by three steps,the inves-tigated variables were:calcination temperature(T)and calcination time(t). Firstly,an aqueous solution of Fe(NO3)3·6H2O and Ba(NO3)3·2H2O(Fe/Ba0254-0584/$–see front matter©2005Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved. doi:10.1016/j.matchemphys.2005.08.070P.Ren et al./Materials Chemistry and Physics98(2006)90–9491atomic ratio equal to12)was added to a stirring aqueous solution of NaOH and Na2CO3(OH−/CO32−ion ratio equal to5).After they reacted for2h,the resulting precipitates standed for24h,were then washed with deionized water and dried at110◦C.The dry precipitate was grinded in order to obtainfine and uniform barium ferrite precursor powder.Secondly,fine barium ferrite precursor powder was atomized into small particles by negative pressure of the FS-4Flame Spray Dryer.At the same time they were heated quickly at the high temperature flame,which was produced by acetylene and oxygen as combustion gas.They passed the different holes of the Flame Spray Dryer respectively,mixed and burnt in the nozzle.Therefore,spherical droplets,caused by surface tension, decomposed to obtain hollow microspheres.Finally,the hollow microspheres were colleted and further calcined to form BaFe12O19phase or promote crystal-lization under air for3h at several different temperatures(600,800,1000,1100, 1200◦C)and at1100◦C for different time(2,3,4h).X-ray diffraction with Cu K␣radiation(XRD)was used for phase analysis. The surface morphology and size of the grains were studied by scanning electron microscope(SEM).The thermal curves were presented by thermo gravimetric analysis(TG)and differential scanning calorimeter(DSC).The magnetic mea-surements are performed using a vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM)to an appliedfield of16000Oe,hysteresis loops are measured at room temperature.3.Results and discussion3.1.Structural analysis of pyrolysis products without heat treatmentFig.1shows the micrograph,phase constitution and the thermal curves for the pyrolyzed sample by SEM,XRD,TG and DSC.Spherical particles with a broad particle distribu-tion of2–15␮m were observed in Fig.1(a).This was prob-ably related to uneven solid ferrite precursor powder from co-precipitation method or the uniform atomization of the equip-ment.It demonstrated microspheres could be formed by spray pyrolysis method.Although hollow structure could not directly be seen in Fig.1(a),the average density of the sample(about 2.50g cm−3),which represented a50%decrease of hollow microspheres compared to solid powder of(about5.31g cm−3), could explain it to some extent.A small number of slight diffrac-tion peaks␣-Fe2O3and BaCO3were observed in Fig.1(b), which indicated the sample was constituted by a mixture of␣-Fe2O3and BaCO3phase of low crystallinity and also implied time of pyrolysis was not long enough to completely decom-pose iron hydroxide and barium carbonate or to form BaFe12O19 phase.Therefore,its necessary for further heat-treatment to form ferrite phase.Fig.1(c)was evident,an endothermic reaction accompanying with5.2%weight loss was observed at the tem-perature between78and138◦C,which showed the precursor did not decompose completely during the pyrolysis process. Between838and938◦C,the sample undergone exothermic reaction without weight loss.At the temperature range by com-paring XRD patterns of the samples after being heated at600 and1200◦C,it revealed that this change could be ascribed to the reaction of oxides to form barium ferrite.3.2.Influence of the heating temperature on the structureand magnetic propertiesThe phase constitution of the samples heat-treated at differ-ent temperatures for3h with a heating rate of5K min−1was obtained by XRD and is shown in Fig.2.At600◦C,a small number of␣-Fe2O3diffraction peaks and some slight peaks of BaFe12O19phase were observed.Single phase barium fer-rite had started to form by800◦C(except for the only slight peak at2.69˚A which corresponded to␣-Fe2O3).At900◦C,the sample presented a series of peaks all assigned to BaFe12O19 Fig.1.(a)SEM image,(b)XRD pattern and(c)TG and DSC curves of the sample after spray pyrolysis without heat treatment.92P.Ren et al./Materials Chemistry and Physics98(2006)90–94Fig.2.XRD patterns of the samples calcined at different temperature for3h: (a)600◦C,(b)800◦C,(c)900◦C,(d)1100◦C,(e)1200◦C.phase.When the temperature increased further,the values of diffraction peak intensities improved obviously,which could be associated with the amount and grain coarsening of BaFe12O19 phase.There was a slight change between thefirst and second strongest peaks at1200◦C due to preferential grain growth.In this work,pure barium ferrite BaFe12O19was formed directly from iron oxides and barium oxides as the onlycomponents Fig.4.Static magnetic properties of the samples calcined at different tempera-tures for3h.detected.Other intermediate phase such as␣-BaFe2O4,␥-Fe2O3 were never observed during the heat treatment.This is consistent with the results obtained in the previous work[16].As expected from XRD data,change in grain morphology with temperature was observed,which is presented in Fig.3. Hollow microspheres had kept intact during the calcination pro-cess.The surface of the sample without heat treatment was relatively smooth.The surface became rougher with the increase of sintering temperature.By1100◦C,the spheres were consti-tuted by crystals for hexagonal like platelet of about several hundred nanometer.These clearly indicated heat treatment was beneficial for ferrite formation and crystallization.Fig.4shows the effect of the sintering temperature on the magnetic properties between600and1200◦C for3h.The sat-uration magnetization(M s)increased obviously from600to 1000◦C,increased slightly between1000and1200◦C,and reached a maximum of55emu g−1at1200◦C.The value is lower than the theoretical limit(72emu g−1)[17],which might be associated with the density and porosity of hollow micro-spheres.A drastic increase of M s between800and1000◦Cwas Fig.3.SEM images of the samples calcined at different temperatures for3h:(a)without heat treatment,(b)800◦C,(c)1000◦C,(d)1100◦C.P .Ren et al./Materials Chemistry and Physics 98(2006)90–9493related to the increasing amount of BaFe 12O 19phase and a small increase from 1000to 1200◦C for grain coarsening according to XRD and SEM results.The hematite formation in the samples reduced the volumetric fraction of barium ferrite and conse-quently reduced M s before 800◦C.This result is in accordance with that previously described in literature [18].The rema-nent magnetization (M r )reached a maximum of 28emu g −1at 1000◦C,decreasing slightly for higher temperature.The intrin-sic coercive force (H c )basically showed a contrary behavior as M s ,increased obviously before 800◦C due to the increas-ing amount of BaFe 12O 19phase,decreased slightly from 3.4to 3.2kOe between 800and 1000◦C which is close to the coer-civity value of typical hard magnetic materials,and decreased drastically from 3.2to 1.3kOe between 1000and 1200◦C owing to grain coarsening.This indicated the coercive force exhibited strong dependency on the sintering temperature.Similar results were reported by Joonghoe et al.[19],who studied effects of the grain boundary on the coercivity of barium ferrite BaFe 12O 19.The results were also supported by Janasi et al.[18]who con-ducted an investigation on the effect of heat treatment conditions and routes on the magnetic properties of co-precipitated ferrite powders.3.3.Influence of the heating time on the structure and magnetic propertiesFig.5shows XRD patterns of the samples calcined at 1100◦C for different heat treatment times.In all cases,the samples were virtually single phase BaFe 12O 19ferrite.With the extending of sintering time,the relative intensities of diffraction peaks increased.At the same time the average grain size,measured from the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM)of (107)peak using Scherrer formula,was found to increase from about 450nm for the heated powder for 2h,520nm for 3h,to 550nm for 4h.According to the XRD intensity formulaI =I 0λ3e 432πR 3m 2c 4 Vq V 20|F h k l |2 1+cos 22θsin 2θcos θFig.5.XRD patterns of the samples calcined at 1100◦C for different times:(a)2h,(b)3h,(c)4h.Fig.6.Hysteresis curve of the samples calcined at 1100◦C for different time.where V is the grain volume of (h k l )plain-oriented,q thegrain number of (h k l )plain-oriented,V 0the volume of unit cell,the relative intensities of diffraction peaks were consis-tent with the calculated intensities for the powder heat treated at 1100◦C for 3h.However,when the sintering time was 4h,(107)diffraction peak were dominant whereas relative intensity of (114)diffraction peak was diminished because the grain size of (107)plain-oriented increased quicker than that of (114)plain-oriented based on the above formula and Scherrer for-mula.These implicated that preferential grain growth probably occurred when the samples were sintered at long time.Fig.6shows the magnetization hysteresis loops at room tem-perature of the samples sintered at 1100◦C between 2and 4h.All the samples had almost identical saturation magnetization and remanent magnetization values,indicating that M s and M r are independent on the sintering time,because the samples were all pure BaFe 12O 19phase and their densities are basically same.On the other hand,the coercivity was changed with the sinter-ing time,which decreased initially from 3.0kOe for 2h and then recovered to 2.5kOe for 4h and reached the minimum of 1.9kOe for 3h because of grain size and preferential grain growth according to the XRD results in Fig.5.This clearly illus-trated the well-known fact that the coercivity strongly depended on the calcining time.4.ConclusionsWe had prepared barium ferrite BaFe 12O 19hollow micro-spheres mainly distributed between 2and 15␮m by spray pyrolysis technique,combined with co-precipitation precursor and followed further calcinations,and studied the effect of heat treatment conditions.We found that hollow microspheres kept unbroken and the average density nearly kept unchange-able (about 2.50g cm −3)during the heat treatment.When the sample was sintered at 900◦C for 3h or at 1100◦C for 2h,the single phase BaFe 12O 19ferrite was formed,directly by iron oxide and barium oxide without BaFe 2O 4or ␥-Fe 2O 3intermediate phase.Increasing the temperature was beneficial in increasing the crystalline,improving the saturation mag-netization and eliminating the coercive force.The saturation94P.Ren et al./Materials Chemistry and Physics98(2006)90–94magnetization(M s)increased obviously before1000◦C,and increased slightly between1000and1200◦C and reached the maximum of55emu g−1at1200◦C.Increasing the heat treat-ment time influenced grain size,preferential grain growth ori-entation and magnetic properties.H c reached a minimum of 1.9kOe for3h and a maximum of3.0kOe for2h,whereas M s was little affected.In a conclusive manner we can say that H c was strongly dependent on heat treatment conditions owing to grain size and preferential growth and M s was closely related to the materials composition.Preparation of narrow distribution of smaller hollow microspheres and study of their structure and properties will be our following work.AcknowledgementThis work is supported by863HI-TECH project of China

For that purpose,the required thermal loadings should reproduce the temperature evolution in the HAZ with high heating rates up to200K/s.An experimental device has been specifically developed to meet these requirements.Atfirst,the design of the device will be briefly presented.Then,the results of the mechanical charac-terizations and microstructural observations will be presented and discussed.2.Experimental procedure2.1.Experimental heating deviceThe main purpose of the experimental heating device is to repro-duce on a tensile specimen the thermal history encountered by each point of the heat affected zone during welding of the vessel.The highest temperature to be studied is thus T=560◦C,very close to the solidus temperature of582◦C which should not be reached.To do so,an accurate control of the temperature has been set up.Fur-thermore,the device should be able to reproduce the heating rate observed in the HAZ of an electron beam welding(up to200K/s). This heating rate has been evaluated by measuring it during an instrumented welding experiment.The second aim of the device is to apply a mechanical loading on a specimen in order to mea-sure the mechanical properties of the material.The mechanical and thermal loadings have to be used simultaneously in order to perform tensile tests at high temperature for further study or to compensate for thermal expansion of the specimen during heating. Therefore,the experimental equipment includes a heating device and a mechanical testing machine.2.1.1.Design of the deviceA convenient method to heat aluminium alloys at very high rate is by Joule effect.Another way would be by induction heating but it is not efficient enough to obtain the required heating rate on alu-minium alloys.For this reason,a resistive heating device has been designed and constructed.In order to measure the temperature of the specimen during heating,a thermocouple has been spot welded on the specimen surface.The strains are measured by means of an extensometer with ceramic tips.The Joule heating device is a power supply,made of an electrical transformer and a thyristor bridge,providing a continuous current whose intensity is controlled by a thermal controller.Water cooled cables and clamping systems are used to connect the specimen to the heating device.A graphite resistor is added in series in order to increase the potential difference across the generator allowing a good temperaturecontrol.Fig.1.Temperature distribution measured by thermocouples along the tensile specimen.2.1.2.Specimen designA specimen heated by using Joule effect reacts as an electrical resistor.Its electrical resistance depends on the material electri-cal resistivity and the specimen shape which has to be optimized in order to reach the desired heating rate(up to500K/s).More-over,the temperature must be uniform over the measurement area (between the extensometer tips)and the specimen volume should be large enough for the microstructure to be representative of the alloy in real structures.A FEM simulation was performed to optimize the size and shape of the specimen.The used software,called Sysweld®was devel-oped by ESI Group.The simulation is carried out by using an electro kinetic model[15].The density d and the thermal conductivity K of the alloy were considered to vary with temperature.A paramet-ric study shows that a diameter of6mm is required to obtain a heating rate up to500K/s.A specimen length of100mm is also required to have a low thermal gradient.Fig.1shows the tempera-ture distribution in the specimen.The gradient has been measured with10thermocouples placed all over the length of a specimen peak-heated to350◦C at a heating rate of15K/s.2.1.3.Regulation set-upThe experimental device has been designed to reach high heat-ing rates.An accurate control of the temperature is required in order to avoid overshoots.To do so,a PID controller has been used [16–19].The resulting thermal loading is slightly delayed but the heating rate is equal to the desired one.The cooling rate is maxi-mum at the highest temperature(of the order of23K/s at500◦C) and decreases during cooling;it drops to about6K/s when temper-ature becomes lower than150◦C.2.2.Transmission Electron MicroscopyThe experimental device presented previously has been used to heat specimens for both mechanical measurements and TEM observations.Two types of microstructural observations have been carried out during this work.Thefirst one is a detailed observation of the microstructure of the material in the T6temper by means of HRTEM(High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy) and the second one by means of classical TEM to compare the microstructure of the alloy for three different states of precipita-tion.They were conducted on a JEOL2010F microscope operating at200kV,which belongs to the Centre Lyonnais de Microscopie (CLYM)located at INSA Lyon(France).TEM allows only very local observations so it was not intended to measure accurately the volume fraction of the precipitates;also not enough precipitates were analyzed to obtain an accurate mean radius.2720 D.Maisonnette et al./Materials Science and Engineering A528 (2011) 2718–2724The samples used in TEM are thin lamellas.A disk with a thick-ness of about200␮m is extracted from the heated specimen by means of a diamond wire saw.Its diameter is then reduced by punching.The disk is thinned to electron transparency(thickness to about200nm or less)by electropolishing using an electrolytic bath composed of20%of HNO3in methanol.The bath is cooled at−30◦C with liquid nitrogen[20].A Precision Ion Polishing System(PIPS) is used in order to accomplishfinal thinning and cleaning by ion milling.Some EDX(Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy)analy-sis were performed with an Oxford Instruments analyzer,using a nanoprobe(about3nm in diameter)in the TEM to estimate the composition of the precipitates in the T6state.2.3.Mechanical characterizationTensile tests have been carried out at room temperature on spec-imens previously heated to peak temperatures of200,300,400,500 and560◦C with various heating rates(0.5,5,15,50,200K/s)in order to measure their mechanical properties.The thermal loadings are representative of the thermal histories encountered in EB welding.Three parameters have been investigated.Thefirst one is the maximum temperature reached during heating at a given heating rate(r=15K/s).The second one is the heating rate for a given max-imum temperature(T=400◦C).The third one is the dwell time at T=560◦C.This last study is not representative of a welding opera-tion but will allow understanding the variation of the mechanical characteristics during holding at a given temperature which cor-responds to the solution treatment of the alloy.For each test,the specimen is heated to the required temperature while compensat-ing for thermal expansion,then it is cooled to room temperature andfinally deformed until fracture at a strain rate of10−2s−1.Dur-ing the test,for a strain close to1.5%,an unloading is performed to measure the elastic modulus.3.Results3.1.HRTEM observations of the material in the T6temperThe aim of the HRTEM investigation on the AA6061-T6is to mea-sure the size of some hardening precipitates and to evaluate their composition in order to characterize the microstructure of the ref-erence T6state.The precipitates present in this state are hard to see owing to their very small size and because they are partly coherent with the aluminium matrix.HRTEM is thus mandatory to image the precipitates.Fig.2(a)shows a TEM picture at high magnification.Two needle-shaped precipitates can be seen:•Thefirst one is oriented along the[001]direction.Its cross sec-tion is observed making its diameter measurable accurately.The measure gives a diameter of about4nm.•The second one is oriented along the[100]direction.It is observed lying in the thin foil.The diffractogram,obtained by using Fourier transform,asso-ciated to thefirst precipitate is shown in Fig.2(b).In addition to the{200}diffraction spots associated with the aluminium matrix, weak aligned spots prove that the atomic state is partially disor-dered as for pre-␤ phases.At last,an EDX analysis carried out on the needle-shaped precip-itates by means of a3nm probe gives an atomic ratio X Mg/X Si=1.29 (with a standard deviation of0.3).This value is the average result of measurements onfive precipitates.3.2.Classical TEM observations of the microstructural changesFollowing the detailed study of the T6temper,the precipitates for various states were observed by means of classical TEM.The aim is to evaluate the evolution of the microstructure(size and vol-ume fraction of precipitates)as a function of the thermal loading previously submitted to the pared to HRTEM,classi-cal TEM is a better way to evaluate the volume fraction because it allows a larger area to be observed at lower magnification.How-ever classical TEM is worse than HRTEM to measure accurately the diameter of the precipitates because the images at high magnifica-tion are often fuzzy(a difficulty inherent to the diffraction contrast in conventional TEM).parison of three precipitation statesThe reference microstructure of the T6temper is here compared to states observed after a heating up to300◦C and400◦C at a heat-ing rate of15K/s and no dwell time at the maximum temperature.Fig.3shows three micrographs obtained from representative sample areas for the three investigated states.In the case of the specimen heated to400◦C,some precipitates with a needle shape are present in the picture.These precipitates are very large,with length between65and170nm and a mean value of112nm,and their diameter ranges between5and11nm with a mean value of 7.35nm.The mean values are calculated by taking into account ten precipitates observed on different pictures.However it should be mentioned that the precipitates could be cut by the sample prepa-ration,consequently the length given above should be considered as indicative only.They will be used to compare the precipitation state.In the two other cases,the precipitates are smaller.Their length is between20and40nm with a mean value of29nm for the T6 temper and between15and40nm with a mean value of25nm for the specimen heated to300◦C.Their diameter ranges between 3.75and4.6nm with a mean value of4.45nm for the T6temper and between2and4nm with a mean value of2.6nm for the specimen heated to300◦C.3.2.2.Precipitate volume fraction evaluationThe precipitate size can be measured by means of TEM pictures. However,it is much more difficult to determine the precipitate volume fraction.Indeed,projections obtained by TEM correspond to volumetric observations but the thickness of the sample is not known accurately.In order to get a rough estimate of the precipi-tate volume fraction,TEM micrographs were compared to pictures obtained by modeling.A computer software has thus been devel-oped in Matlab to simulate these images.Based on three simple parameters describing the precipitation state,the program can reproduce a needle-shaped precipitate distribution in a sample with a uniform thickness.The three parameters are the volume fraction(f v),the mean radius of the needle precipitates(r avg)and their mean length(L avg).A Gaussian size distribution is arbitrarily assumed for the radius and the length with a variance of1and36,respectively.The size distributions are discretized in one hundred classes of size.Once the thickness isfixed(illustrations will be given here for a100nm thick material),the total volume is calculated and an iterative algo-rithm increases step by step the number of precipitates in each class to obtain the volume corresponding to the desired f v.The pre-cipitates are then shown graphically on a2D view by distributing them uniformly along the three 001 directions of the Al-matrix, which corresponds to the viewing directions of the TEM micro-graphs shown in Figs.2and3.Fig.4compares the precipitation state observed in the specimen heated to300◦C to two modeled states,thefirst one with a volume fraction of3%(Fig.4(a))and the second one with a volume fraction of1.6%(Fig.4(c)).It clearlyD.Maisonnette et al./Materials Science and Engineering A528 (2011) 2718–27242721Fig.2.HRTEM observations of needle precipitates in AA6061-T6.(a)Lattice image at high magnification;(b)diffractogram(numerical Fourier transform)of the micrograph showing diffraction spots(arrows)arising from the precipitate in addition to the square lattice of the aluminium fcc phase along[001].appears that f v=3%is not representative of the real precipitation state because it is too dense.The volume fraction of1.6%is obvi-ously closer to the volume fraction observed by TEM.The same type of study carried out for the two other investigated states givesa similar volume fraction.3.3.Mechanical characterizationAs indicated previously,three parameters have been investi-gated.Thefirst one is the maximum temperature reached at a given heating rate(r=15K/s).The second one is the heating rate for a given maximum temperature(T=400◦C).The third one is the dwell time at T=560◦C.3.3.1.Influence of the maximum temperature reached at constant heating rateThefirst mechanical study carried out at room temperature deals with the influence of the maximum temperature reached at a given heating rate on the mechanical properties of the AA6061-T6.The maximum temperatures are T=200,300,400,450,500and 560◦C at a heating rate of r=15K/s.The variations of temperature with time for these various thermal loadings are shown in Fig.5. The tensile tests are then conducted at room temperature and the corresponding true stress—logarithmic strain curves are shown in Fig.6.The curves obtained for the heated specimens are compared with the curve obtained for the T6temper without thermal loading (black continuous line).It is found that the thermal loading con-siderably influences the mechanical properties of the specimens except for a maximum temperature of200◦C for which the curve (not shown in Fig.6)is exactly the same as that of the T6sample. Indeed,the yield stress Rp0.2decreases from278MPa at T=300◦C to 70MPa at T=500◦C.Increasing the temperature further to560◦C, however,does not change the yield stress.Fig.7illustrates this 75%decrease of the yield stress when the maximum temperature is increased from300to500◦C.The measured values are compared to values from the literature[21]for which the maximumtemper-parison of three precipitation states.(a)T6temper;(b)after heating up to300◦C at15K s−1;(c)after heating up to400◦C at15K s−1.All micrographs were taken along a 100 zone-axis of the aluminium matrix.2722 D.Maisonnette et al./Materials Science and Engineering A528 (2011) 2718–2724Fig.4.Modeling of the precipitate distribution for a reached temperature T =300◦C with r avg =2.6nm and L avg =25nm assuming volume fractions of (a)3%and (c)1.6%and comparison with the real precipitate distribution microstructure observed by TEM (b)displayed at the same scale.The volume fraction of 1.6%is obviously closer toreality.Fig.5.Thermal loadings used for the study of the influence of the reached temper-ature.Fig.6.True stress—logarithmic strain curves for temperatures up to 560◦C.ature has been held during 30min.It shows that the yield stress at ambient temperature is strongly dependent on the peak tempera-ture reached during the thermal loading,without a dwell time at the highest temperature,for peak temperature higher than 200◦C.No data without dwell time at the maximum temperature have been found in the literature.The Young modulus has been also measured for each specimen.It has been measured firstly at the origin of the stress–strain curve and then during the elastic unloading.A mean value is then calcu-lated.It decreases from 68.7GPa for the T6temper to 65.0GPa for the specimen heated to 560◦C which represents a 5.4%decrease.3.3.2.Influence of the heating rateThe second mechanical study investigates the influence of the heating rate on the mechanical properties of the AA6061-T6.The maximum temperature applied here is T =400◦C and the studied heating rates are:r =0.5,5,15,50,and 200K/s.The tempera-ture variation obtained for r =50K/s shows an overshoot of 8◦C which results in a slight decrease of the measured stress.Simi-larly,the temperature of the specimen heated with a heating rate of r =200K/s did not reach T =400◦C but T =362◦C.Consequently,the measured stress for this specimen would be higher than expected.The tensile tests give the true stress—logarithmic strain curves shown in Fig.8.They show that the yield stress Rp 0.2decreasesFig.7.Yield stress variation versus reached temperature from measurements (with-out temperature holding)and from the literature (with a 30min dwell time).D.Maisonnette et al./Materials Science and Engineering A528 (2011) 2718–27242723Fig.8.True stress—logarithmic strain curves for various heating rates up to200K/s. for every heated specimens compared to the T6temper and the lower the heating rate is,the lower the yield stress of the material is.More precisely Rp0.2decreases from170MPa for a heating rate of r=200K/s to96MPa for a heating rate of r=0.5K/s.These values have not been compared with literature since no data dealing with the influence of the heating rate has been found.3.3.3.Influence of holding time at560◦CThe last mechanical study accomplished on the material is con-cerned with the influence of a holding time at high temperature before doing the tensile test at room temperature.This last study compares the mechanical properties of the AA6061-T6after a heat-ing at T=560◦C with and without a dwell time at this temperature. The temperature T=560◦C has been chosen because it is close to the solvus temperature of the␤phase in the␣phase.The chosen dwell time is t=30min and the heating rate is r=15K/s.The mechanical properties obtained for both cases are strictly identical.This result indicates that the dwell time at T=560◦C does not influence the mechanical properties measured on the tested specimens.4.Discussion4.1.PrecipitationAccording to literature[5–9,13,14],the precipitates which are normally present in the T6temper of the AA6061alloy are very thin and their density is quite high.They are small needles of␤ (or pre-␤ )type.They are oriented following the three 100 matrix directions.Some authors[6,10,22]have carried out a detailed study of the␤ phase.It appears that the X Mg/X Si atomic ratio is very often close to1as reported in Table1.However,other authors[23]man-aged to measure a X Mg/X Si ratio higher than1for GP zones and co-clusters contained in an aged6061.In addition,the observed precipitates are only partially coherent as for the pre-␤ phase. Based on these results,it can be assumed that the precipitates con-tained in the studied reference material are pre-␤ or␤ phases (although the X Mg/X Si atomic ratio measured here to1.29is slightly higher than1).Otherwise,Andersen et al.[6]measured needle pre-cipitates with a size of about4nm×4nm×50nm for the␤ phase and20nm×20nm×500nm for the␤ phase.Furthermore,Don-nadieu et al.[8]measured the size of the precipitates contained in a 6065-T6alloy.They obtained a mean diameter of2.86nm.By com-paring these values to those presented in Sections3.1and3.2it can be assumed that the precipitates contained in the studied AA6061 after heating at400◦C are composed of the␤ phase.On the con-trary,the precipitates contained in the6061-T6and in the6061 after a heating at300◦C are smaller.Therefore,the precipitates are probably remaining␤ precipitates for the6061alloy after heating at300◦C.In addition to that,large intermetallics are visible in the micro-graphs at low magnification,as shown in Fig.9.The size of the intermetallics ranges from50to300nm.These intermetallics formed during the elaboration of the material do not contribute to the hardening of the alloy.An energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry analysis(EDX)proved that their composition type is(Fe–Cr–Mn–Si) and not(Al–Mg–Si)as for hardening precipitates.The structure of these intermetallics was not investigated further.However,it is important to note that the intermetallics do contain silicon,so that the corresponding quantity will not be available for hardening precipitation.4.2.Mechanical propertiesFig.6showed that the behavior of the material after heating at500◦C is strictly identical to the behavior of the material after heating at560◦C.Thus,it can be assumed that the microstructure is the same in both cases.Furthermore,a tensile test carried out on a specimen heated to560◦C during30min gives exactly the same behavior.This behavior corresponds to the O temper.It is commonly accepted that a long holding time at T=560◦C(solvus temperature of the␤phase in the␣phase)is required to dis-solve the parison of the true stress—logarithmic strain curves obtained with and without dwell time shows that the mechanical properties are identical.This means that the dwell time at T=560◦C does not change the mechanical properties.The microstructure is therefore identical corresponding to the annealed state(or O temper)for which no precipitate is present in the mate-rial.This last result shows that for the heating rate and for the specimens used in this study,it is not necessary to apply a dwell time to reach the O temper.This conclusion is probably not valid in the case of a large structure since the peak temperature at each point within the material would depend on its distance from the closest surface.Another result of this investigation is that the heat-ing rate has an influence on the mechanical properties.By using a higher heating rate,the O temper could not be obtained without a dwell time.The hardening is due to the precipitates contained within the material.They hinder dislocation glide.For a given volume fraction, hardening is most effective if the precipitates are small(and there-fore more numerous).These small precipitates have been observed by TEM for the T6temper.This microstructure leads to more favor-able mechanical properties than the other investigated states.The behavior observed here is quite close to the one observed by Zain-ul-Abdein et al.[24]on a6056-T4.Then,the microstructure of the specimen heated to300◦C seems to be close to the one observed for the T6temper,which explains the small difference of mechanical properties.If the maximum temperature is further increased,the yield stress Rp0.2decreases significantly as shown in Fig.7.The TEM observations show that this decrease is due to a strongly enhanced growth of the precipitates.The volume fraction of the precipitates remains identical so that the precipitate number is decreased.This results in a sharp decrease of the mechanical properties,as high-lighted by the tensile tests.Concerning the study of the influence of the heating rate,no microstructural observations have been carried out.However,Fig.8 shows a decrease of the mechanical properties for every thermal loading up to400◦C compared to the mechanical properties of the T6temper.This means that the material has encountered a microstructural change for every investigated heating rate.If the heating rate is very low,the microstructural changes as dissolution and growth of precipitates,have more time to occur.Consequently, less precipitates are present(for a constant volume fraction)and the mechanical properties are lower.The Young modulus has been measured and it has been shown that it decreases slightly compared to the T6state when。

等温锻造是指在锻造过程中,毛坯和模具都保持稳定或变化非常缓慢且高于常规锻造的温度,创造出优于常规锻造的条件,使许多常规锻造存在的缺陷在等温锻造条件下能较好地克服。

钛是20世纪50年代开发出供制造业使用的金属,具有强度高、耐热耐腐蚀、韧性好等优点,是汽轮机、发动机及航空航天等精密零部件的优选材料。

据NASA估计,到2020年发动机材料总量的20%~25%将是钛铝合金。

钛合金锻造融合CAD/CAM技术,采用等温锻造、超塑性锻造等新兴工艺,可防止出现在常规锻造条件温度下降迅速导致材料成形困难的状况,使毛坯保持和模具相同的温度,提升钛合金材料塑性,可将需要多次成形的工件一次精锻成形。

除此之外,等温锻造减少了锻后加工余量,节省购买昂贵的钛合金材料而支付的生产成本,同时降低锻造效果对操作人员个人技术的依赖,大幅提升锻件质量。

1 等温锻造特点常规锻造下,毛坯温度高于模具温度并不断将热量传递给模具,毛坯自身迅速冷却,内部分子动能降低,难以克服分子间引力,导致塑性降低,变形抗力增加。

调质热处理对EH47船板钢显微组织的影响

结果表明:试验钢经经质处理后的显微组织是以针状铁素体为主,含一定量粒状铁素体、准多边形铁素体和粒状贝氏体的混合组织。

回火温度相同,随着淬火温度的升高,试验钢的组织更为细小均匀,贝氏体含量稍有增加;淬火温度相同,随着回火温度的升高,组织更为细小,针状铁素体含量增加,贝氏体含量减少。

930C保温30min 淬火、640C回火30min的钢的组织最为细小均匀。

因此,EH47船板钢的实际际质淬火温度应高于900C,回火温度控制在580~640C。

影响烧结Nd-Fe-B磁体退磁曲线方形度的因素

影响烧结Nd-Fe-B磁体退磁曲线方形度的因素

影响烧结Nd-Fe-B磁体退磁曲线方形度的因素王占勇1,谷南驹1,王宝奇1,刘金芳2,赵金伶3,张志清3,张巧格3(1.河北工业大学金属材料研究所,天津300132;2.美国宾夕法尼亚洲电子能公司,宾夕法尼亚州17538,美国;3.河北省冶金科技股份有限公司磁材部,河北石家庄050000)摘要:通过分析具有不同退磁曲线方形度的磁体发现,烧结体的显微组织对磁体的方形度有很大影响。

磁体中晶粒的异常长大会严重恶化磁体的方形度;晶粒的形状及晶界相等影响到退磁场的大小,进而影响到磁体的方形度;添加元素影响到磁体中的相结构和相分布,对反磁化场的均匀性有所影响。

关键词:Nd-Fe-B磁体;方形度;晶粒;显微组织;添加元素1引言Nd-Fe-B是当代磁能积最高的永磁材料,被称为“磁王”。

目前,对这种高性能磁体的研究主要朝两个方向进行,一是高磁能积磁体,日本实验室水平已达444kJ/m3,工业批量生产水平为N50[1](磁能积400kJ/m3);一是高矫顽力和低温度系数磁体,这一类磁体主要用在电机等领域,前景很好。

然而,在实际应用中,仅仅考虑磁能积和矫顽力这两个指标是不够的,还必须考察磁体的退磁曲线方形度(以下简称方形度)是否合乎要求。

图1为典型的永磁体的退磁曲线[2],从J~H曲线上我们看出,在反向(退)磁场比较小时,J的下降很小;反向磁场大到一定程度后,J开始急剧下降。

通常把J=0.9B r或0.8B r的退磁场称为弯曲点磁场H k。

H k/H cj在一定程度上反映了J~H退磁曲线的形状,其比值越接近于1,J~H退磁曲线越接近于方形,所以,生产中经常通过比较H k/H cj的大小来衡量方形度的好坏,这种衡量方法在许多文献[3,4]中都被采用。

通常认为方形度HH cj>0.9,产品就算合格。

k/在生产中经常发现方形度不合格的产品,我们对这些情况出现的原因进行了分析,总结出了影响方形度的一些因素,以供大家参考。

本文中涉及到的H k 都是指J=0.9B r所对应的磁场。

Journal of Alloys and Compounds462(2008)103–108Effect of heat treatment and Nb and H contents on the phasetransformation of N18and N36zirconium alloysWenjin Zhao,Yanzhang Liu∗,Hongman Jiang,Qian PengNational Key Laboratory for Nuclear Fuel and Materials,P.O.Box436(4),Chengdu610041,PR ChinaReceived10July2007;received in revised form15August2007;accepted15August2007Available online25August2007AbstractThe effects of thermal processing and alloying elements on the microstructure and phase transformation of N18and N36zirconium alloys were investigated using Optical Microscopy(OM),Transmission Electron Microscopy(TEM),Differential Thermal Analysis(DTA)and Differential Scanning Calorimetry(DSC).The results showed that the difference of alloying element niobium among the two alloys was significant,and the ␣→(␣+␤)phase transformation temperature decreases with an increase of niobium content.Niobium is an element extending␤phase region. T␣→␣+␤of N18and N36measured by DTA and DSC were higher than those of the results from TEM.It was shown that the variation of absorbing heat could be recorded with possessing certain␤-Zr fraction at heating and it maybe related to the rate of heating when measured by the thermal analysis methods.Hydrogen in the alloys extends the␤phase region and accelerates the nucleation and growth of␤-Zr in the process of heating. The hydrogen was also mainly soluble in the␤phase of␣+␤temperature region and resulted in a different microstructure.A consequence of hydrogen ingress into Zr alloy is not only to affect its mechanical behavior,but also decrease the␣→(␣+␤)phase transformation temperature.©2007Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved.Keywords:N18and N36zirconium alloys;Thermal processing;Alloying elements;Phase transformation1.IntroductionZirconium alloys are generally used as cladding and structural materials in light and heavy water nuclear reac-tors due to their excellent neutron economy and corrosion resistance,and good mechanical properties under irradia-tion[1–3].In China,N18(Zr–1Sn–0.3Nb–0.3Fe–0.1Cr)and N36(Zr–1Sn–1Nb–0.3Fe)alloys have been developed on the base of Zr–Sn and Zr–Nb systems to meet the requirements of higher fuel burn-up in PWR[4–6].The two kinds of new alloys belong in the ternary Zr–Sn–Nb system,which is differ-ent from pared with Zircaloy,the␣/␤boundary of Zr–Sn–Nb alloy has been modified due to the addition of alloying elements.Curtis and Dressler reported[7],after the addition of1wt%Sn in the Zr–Nb,the␤transformation tem-perature was increased by28◦C and the solubility of niobium in␣-Zr was reduced.Canay et al.[8]studied the effect of composition change on the phase transformation temperature ∗Corresponding author.Tel.:+862885903174.E-mail address:liu yz04@(Y.Liu).of Zr–1Nb–1Sn–0.2(0.7)Fe alloys,and found that the addition of Sn increased the(␣+␤)→␤and decreased the␣→(␣+␤) phase transformation temperature.In addition,the addition of Sn stabilized the␤phase,and alloying element Fe decreased the␣→(␣+␤)and(␣+␤)→␤phase transformation temper-atures.During waterside corrosion of zirconium alloys components in reactors,some of the hydrogen released during oxidation of the Zr matrix by water and the hydrogen present for water chemistry control,would be absorbed into the bulk of the alloy. The hydride phase precipitates when hydrogen concentration exceeds the terminal solid solubility in␣-Zr.The stress pro-duced by the volume expansion induced by the precipitation of hydrides in the alloy would result in the embrittlement of zirco-nium alloy cladding.The extent of embrittlement depends not only on the quantity of hydride present,but also on its morphol-ogy and in particular the orientation of hydrides with respect to the applied stress[9–11].All studies focused on hydrides for-mation within the␣-Zr matrix.However,it was shown that the ␤-Zr plays an important role in hydride precipitation due to the high solubility of hydrogen in the␤-Zr phase compared to␣-Zr [12].0925-8388/$–see front matter©2007Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved. doi:10.1016/j.jallcom.2007.08.047104W.Zhao et al./Journal of Alloys and Compounds462(2008)103–108As was known to all,a satisfactory corrosion resistance for zirconium alloys could be obtained if there is afine and homo-geneous distribution of precipitates in␣-Zr matrix.And the microstructure can be obtained by mechanical processing and heat treatment at an appropriate temperature region.However,it implied that the relationship between the phase boundaries and manufacturing temperature should be understood further.In this paper,the effects of the heat treatment,Nb and H contents on their microstructure and phase transformation were investigated in order to understand well the out-pile and in-pile performances of N18and N36alloys,especially effect of the thermoprocessing on the corrosion resistance and mechanical behavior.2.Experimental procedureThe samples used in this test include the sheet and tube materials of N18 and N36zirconium alloys.The tube,9.5mm in outer diameter and0.6mm in wall thickness,was cut to the length of20mm for the test.And the sheet specimen,15mm×20mm×1mm in size,was cut from the fully recrystallized sheet.Before hydriding,the specimens were polished with abrasive paper and then cleaned in water.The samples were charged with hydrogen using the cathodic hydrogen charging method by depositing a surface hydride layer and then heating to diffuse the hydrogen from the surface layer into the metal.Elec-trolytic hydriding(lead as the anode)was typically carried out in a bath of 1N sulfuric acid at room temperature,using a current density of0.08A/cm2 for4h each cycle.When the electrochemically evolved hydrogen ions are applied to the Zr–Sn–Nb working electrode,a part of the absorbed ions diffuses into the alloy and the other part is liberated from the surface as a hydrogen gas.In order to stabilize hydrogen in the specimens as hydride form,vac-uum annealing was carried out at400◦C for6h after chemically cleaning of the specimen surface with acetic acid.After annealing,the plates were cooled to room temperature in furnace and the cooling rate for furnace cool-ing was approximately2◦C/min.All the prepared specimens were analyzed for hydrogen using the hot vacuum extraction mass spectrometry(HVEMS) technique.The samples without hydrogen were wrapped in Cu foil,and the samples with hydrogen were placed in a glass tube and sealed under vacuum,respectively. All samples were quenched in water after heating at different temperature for1h in the resistance furnace,respectively.The volume fraction of specific phases was measured and calculated using an image analyzer for the water-quenched alloys.More than20micrographs were analyzed and counted to measure the volume fraction.The T␣→␣+␤and T␣+␤→␤of samples were measured by means of high-temperature DSC(NETZSCH DSC-404).The microstructures of␤-Zr phase were characterized by TEM(JEM-200CX).Specimens for TEM observation were prepared by a twin-jet polishing with a solution of10vol.%HClO3and 90vol.%C2H5OH after mechanical thinning to∼80␮m.The selected area diffraction patterns(SADP)were obtained and analyzed to determine the crystal structure of the precipitates.3.Results and discussion3.1.Effect of Nb and H element on phase transformationTo achieve quasi-equilibrium conditions,slow heating–cooling rates were needed.In this experiment,a Setaram MultiHTC high-temperature–high-sensivity calorimeter was used.This apparatus was performed under inert gas(pure argon)up to1400◦C for typical heating/cooling rates ranging from0.1up to20◦C/min.Due to the accuracy of calorimetric and/or dilatomet-ric measurements and to the assumptions made to derive the␣/␤phase fractions/temperatures from experimental thermogramsand/or dilatograms,one may assume that the accuracy of themeasurements is close to±5%and±10◦C for,respectively,the ␣/␤phase fractions and temperatures.As a consequence,the ␣→(␣+␤)and(␣+␤)→␤transus temperatures are over-and under-estimated,respectively.The transformation temperatures of zirconium alloys usedin this experiment are shown in Table1[13].Thestarting Fig.1.TEM observations of N18and N36specimens after quenching from different temperatures.W.Zhao et al./Journal of Alloys and Compounds462(2008)103–108105Fig.2.TEM brightfield image(a),darkfield image(b),and corresponding electron diffraction patterns(c and d)of␤-Zr phase in N18and N36specimens.

The difference of alloying element niobium among three alloys is significant,which showed that an increase of niobium content decrease the␣→(␣+␤)phase transformation temperature and niobium is an element extending the␤phase region.The transformation temperatures of␣↔(␣+␤)of the alloys obtained from hydrogen charged samples are presented in Table2.When the hydrogen content in alloys was100and 400␮g/g,respectively,the T␣→␣+␤was,respectively,reduced by15and95◦C for N18,15and55◦C for N36,and20and 50◦C for Zr-4compared to the samples without hydrogen,which showed that the T␣→␣+␤decreased with the increase of hydrogen concentration in the zirconium alloys.In other words,hydrogen Fig.3.Optical micrographs showing morphology of␤-Zr in N18specimens.106W.Zhao et al./Journal of Alloys and

the␤phase region and accelerated the nucleation and growth of ␤-Zr during the process of heating.3.2.Effect of heat treatment on phase transformationThe quenching tests from different temperatures were per-formed in order to understand the characteristics of the microstructural variations during phase transformations.N18 and N36specimens were quenched in water after heating at 680,690,700,720,750,770,780,and800◦C for1h.From Fig.5.Optical micrographs showing morphology of␤-Zr in N36specimens with and without hydrogen.W.Zhao et al./Journal of Alloys and Compounds462(2008)103–108107Fig.7.Characteristics of the hydrides in the hydrogen charged samples after quenching.Fig.1,it can be seen that a new phase(indicated by arrow andcircled),different from matrix,form in grain corners and bound-aries.These new phases were identified as␤-Zr with a bcc crystalstructure and Fig.2shows the TEM brightfield image(a),darkfield image(b),SADP(c)and the results of index.It was shownthat␤-Zr could be kept down at room temperature by quickquenching in water.Simultaneity,it was also found that the␤-Zr phase usually nucleated and grew up in grain corners whenthe heating temperature for quenching test was near the trans-formation temperature of␣to(␣+␤)of the alloys,and whichinduced gradual disappearance of the defects.The Gibbs energyfor the disappearance of the defects would provide drive forcefor subsequent nucleation[14].It was reported that the micrographs of the␤-Zr phasecould be showed after etching in a solution of Glycerol16cm3+HF2cm3+HNO31cm3[15].Fig.3shows the␤-Zrphase morphology for N18specimen obtained by using opticalmicroscopy after quenching in water.It could be seen that the ␤-Zr phase was located at some triple points and grain bound-aries,which was consistent with the results observed by TEM(Fig.1).The volume fraction of the␤-Zr phases increased withan increase in the heating temperature.The N18alloy possessedthe(␣+␤)structure above780◦C and the volume fraction of the ␤phase was4.1%at780◦C,8.6%at800◦C,18.6%at820◦C (Fig.4),respectively.While the N36alloy possessed the(␣+␤) structure above680◦C and the volume fraction of the␤phase was3.1%at680◦C,8.6%at700◦C,14.5%at720◦C(Fig.4), respectively.Fig.5shows the optical micrographs of␤phase in the N36alloys with and without hydrogen after quenching in water.It wasfound directly that the volume fraction of the␤phase increasedmarkedly with an increase of hydrogen content and heating tem-perature.And the relationship between hydrogen content and ␤-Zr fraction in N36could be intuitively seen from Fig.6.Fig.7 shows the optical micrographs of the hydrides in the hydro-gen charged samples after quenching in water.It could be seen from thefigures that the hydrides precipitated along the␤phase pared with Figs.3and5,it could be thought that hydrides precipitated from␤phase when cooling and they still remained in the␤phase region at room temperature.It was thought that hydrogen existed mainly as a solid solution in the␤phase when heating at␣+␤region and after cooling to the room temperature,much of hydrogen precipitated as hydride with an inhomogeneous distribution,which resulted in a different stress distribution in the matrix due to volume variation[16].4.ConclusionsIn the present paper,the influence of the thermal processing and alloying elements on the microstructure and phase trans-formation of N18and N36were investigated by means of OM, TEM,DTA and DSC.Following results have been obtained: (1)Alloying element niobium in zirconium alloy is an elementof extending␤phase region.The␣→(␣+␤)phases trans-formation temperature would be decreased with an increase of niobium content.(2)Hydrogen in alloy would extend the␤phase region andaccelerate the nucleation and growth of␤-Zr in the process of heating.The␤phase fraction increases markedly with the alloy hydrogen content and the heating temperature. (3)Hydrogen in alloy was mainly in solid solution in the␤phase at␣+␤temperature region and resulted in a different microstructure.A consequences of hydrogen ingress into Zr is not only change of the mechanical behavior,but also decrease in the␣→(␣+␤)phase transformation tempera-ture.AcknowledgementsThe work of Prof.C.G.Yin and Mr.C.L.Sun in performing the zirconium alloys rolling is gratefully acknowledged.
