The potential use of barium zirconate for the manufacture of corrosion-resistant substrates emphasizes the need for a simple, inexpensive, and easily scalable process to produce high-quality powders with well-controlled composition and properties. However, the classical solid-state preparation of barium zirconate leads to an inhomogeneous powder unsuitable for applications in highly corrosive environment. For this paper, the possibility to use the spray-drying technique for the preparation of BaZrO3 powders with a controlled size distribution and morphology was investigated. The influence of the nature and concentration of the precursor solution and the influence of the spray-drying step are discussed on the basis of x-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and dilatometric measurements.

High-speed steels (HSS) rolls are used in front finishing stands of hot strip mills. Good wear resistance and hardness at high temperature are defining characteristics of HSS. Many carbides are present in these alloys, each having different effects upon the final properties of HSS. As a result, the nature, the morphology and the amount of these carbides are factors of important concern. Optical microscopy combined with electron microscopy lead to quicker identification and characterization of HSS carbides. [less ▲]

Lingopti project is a First Europe project. It treats semi-continuous casting of copper-nickel alloys ingots. The research, performed in the University of Liège, consists in the optimisation of the mould and the whole casting process of the LBP S.A. company (Chênée – Liège) to obtain better cast products. In fact, cast products sometimes present long oscillation marks (λ ≈ 500mm) and some ingots have many internal cracks. The semi-continuous process consists in the vertical casting of 7m height ingots. The goal is also to test different chemical compositions of the material and to predict what happens on the casting process. [less ▲]

Many types of carbides are present in these alloys, each having different effect upon their final properties. As a result, nature, morphology and amount of these carbides are factors of important concern. Identification and characterisation of carbides were realised. MC, M2C, M7C3 carbides were found. Some relationships with mechanical properties were obtained especially in the field of the solidification sequence that affects grain size and carbides dispersion. [less ▲]
