Hydration layer: a potential key to manage colloidal processing of oxide nanopowder suspensions

2017-07-13
The majority of ceramic processing techniques relies on the successful slurry preparation that ensures homogeneous distribution of powders in a highly loaded slurry with manageable flow characteristics. Only with effective slurry formulation, crack- and pore- free structures can ultimately be manufactured. However, this still remain a challenging issue for advancing technology of additive manufacturing. The available models to predict the colloidal properties of nanopowder slurries therefore require improvements. This presentation will show the presence and importance of hydration layer around oxide nanopowders that has been overlooked till very recently. Then, the influence of the hydration layer on the colloidal properties of oxide nanopowder slurries has been discussed. When the Krieger-Dougherty relation is modified according to the presence of hydration layer, the viscosity of suspensions can be successfully estimated. The resultant improvement in green body quality achieved is also demonstrated.

PORE-SIZE DISTRIBUTIONS IN URANIUM-DIOXIDE AND URANIUM DIOXIDE-GADOLINIUM OXIDE FUEL KERNEL PRODUCED BY SOL-GEL TECHNIQUE
Gündüz, Güngör; ONAL, I; DURMAZUCAR, HH (1991-02-01)
Small kernels of UO2-Gd2O3 were produced from their nitrate solutions by the application of sol-gel process in place of the more conventional process of mixing powders. The sol-gel method consisted of the following steps: sol preparation, sol drop dispersion, gellation, washing of gelled microspheres, aging, drying, calcination, reduction, and sintering. The effect of reduction temperature (873, 1073 and 1773 K) under a reducing gas mixture of 50% H-2 + 50% N2 on pore volume and pore size distribution, was...
MELT BLENDING OF ULTRA-HIGH-MOLECULAR-WEIGHT AND HIGH-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE - THE EFFECT OF MIXING RATE ON THERMAL, MECHANICAL, AND MORPHOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
TINCER, T; COSKUN, M (1993-10-01)
The blends of two different ultra high molecular weight polyethylenes (UHMWPE) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) were prepared in melt at different compositions and mixing rates in Brabender Torque Rheometer. The temperature build-up due to the internal friction during melt blending was recorded and evaluated with respect to the change in the torque. The temperature at maximum torque was considered the fusion point temperature of the UHMWPE in the blend. This fusion point temperature was found to depend ...
Free forming of locally laser heated parts
Özmen, Murat; Tekkaya, A. Erman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005)
As metals have high formability at elevated temperatures, hot forming is preferred and widely used in manufacturing of complicated geometries. The term أhot formingؤ is usually used if the whole workpiece is processed at elevated temperatures. However, for certain products high formability is required only locally. Forming by local heating is proposed to provide ease of manufacturing of local forms on the workpiece. Also, tools can be simplified by this method. In this study, local laser heating procedures ...
Copper removal from regenerated pickling solutions of steel plants
Sütcü, Esra; Öztürk, Abdullah; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2020)
Pickling is a metal surface treatment technique, made by strong inorganic acids to prepare metals for subsequent processes. The process generates a substantial amount of waste acid because large amount of acid is spent during the process. The impact of the waste acid to the environment is noticeable. The waste solution contains the contaminants of the metal surface and it is also a source of valuable products, metal salts and copper. When the concentration of copper in the pickling solution exceeds the lev...
Combined effect of fructose and NaCl on the viscosity of alumina nanopowder suspensions
Çınar, Simge; Akinc, Mufit (2015-01-01)
Many ceramic processing operations involving powder suspensions aim to optimize the solids loading while maintaining low viscosity. Use of nanopowder suspensions are challenging as they exhibit unexpectedly high viscosities. Low molecular weight saccharides were added to decrease the viscosities of alumina nanopowder suspensions as they modify effective solids content. It was also recently reported that suspensions with very low ionic strengths exhibit lower viscosities as they create high repulsive barrier...
