Impurities intensify the structural changes in the articles being tested and change theirproper~ies. A concentration of SiO 2 and Fe203 in amounts of 0.5-1.0% increases the extent of the chemical reaction betnveen the refractory and the alkalis and lowers the electrical resistivity by an order of magnitude.The erosion of the periclase articles made from sintered and electrosmelf~d material is approximately the same at high temperatures and in a medium with a higher concentration of oxygen (23%)o The conditions under which the bushing is used in plasma-chemical apparatus with an are-column temperature of 4500--6000~ are somewhat complex and therefore it is necessary to develop an optimum design of the plasmatron unit and better methods of protecting the articles in use. LITERATURECITED
Almost all the fibers have a thin edging of a very finely dispersed, dark, opaque material which is clearly the product of the strong surface interaction between the fibers and Y203.The Y203 in the specimens was sintered to a high density: intercrystal and intracrystal porosity is absent.
Previously [i] investigators showed that it is possible to regulate the chemical and adhesive reactions at the contact point of metallic melt and refractory oxide in a systematic way by alloying the latter with various additives.In particular, additions made to the corundum transition metals, and also zircon and titanium, leadto a reduction in the energy of adhesion in a certain range of concentration, and correspondingly produce a reduction in the mass exchange between the lining and the metal.And, on the other hand, dilution of corundum batch with powdered oxides of the alkaline-earth metals increases the chemical and adhesive reaction, which may find extensive use in cermet production.Theoretical predictions of the possibility of regulating the catalytic activity of oxides were based on an approach to the physical nature of this interaction from the viewpoint of the electron--ionic energy structure of the refractory and its dependence on the extraneous additives, the perfection of the structure, and the material's previous history.The electron structure of the material governs its electrophysical, optical, and other properties. The correlation obtained later between the experimental data for electric conductivity and setting edge angle of the substratum of droplets of steel [2] stimulated further investigation toward the detailed development of an electron--ionic model of interaction on the boundary of oxide with melt (adhesion, mass exchange, diffusion, reaction capacity, phase inversion, etc.) the full picture of which remains unclear.The present authors studied the volume electric conductivity of single-crystal substrate of sapphire (pure corundum), ruby (corundum with an addition of chromium in amounts of about 1%),* and pure magnesium oxide, and also ceramic substrata of the same composition, using the triple-electrode method (with a guard ring for the dc current). The results were obtained for the range 900-1800~ in vacuum (0.0133 Pa). After repeated measurements of the electric conductivity without breaking the vacuum on the specimens during heating and cooling (until stable results were obtained) the substrata with the metallic tablets were placed in equipment for measuring the wetting angle, in which they were held under the droplet of melt for up to 8 min.In this case we noted intense deoxidation of the metal stimulated by the substratum, masked sticking of the tablet to some specimens, and a change in the color of the contact site. Then the remaining, undamaged, substratum was again subjected to careful testing for electric conductivity.The results of y before and after the action of the droplet of melt 80N are shown in the form of graphs log y = f(lO4/T) in Fig. i. The concept accepted in semiconductor physics of a temperature relationships for electric conductivity in the form log y = f(104/T) enables us to calculate the value of the energy of formation of free discharges (energy of activation of the current carrier), ensuring electric conductivity.Bearing in mind the zone theory of activation Ea,...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
