Accommodation processes

In order of priority, the factors that govern the selection of industrial dryers are (/) personnel and environmental safety (2) product moisture and quahty attainment (J) material handling capabiHty (4) versatiHty for accommodating process upsets (5) heat- and mass-transfer efficiency and (6) capital, labor, and energy costs. 

Even at lower concentrations (10 ), some interactions between point defects are possible. In forming new structures, the vacancies either order or they are eliminated. These vacancy accommodation processes are immensely important in heterogeneous oxidation catalysis using oxides and we examine these in the following sections. 

To support the user, step-by-step guiding dialogs are implemented in the database. As long as the site-specific BOM has not been modified by the user, all data entries are marked to be estimates since they are only derived from the default BOM. To accommodate process improvements that are expected over time, the BOM modeling can be further detailed to include time-dependent changes. 

The different accommodation processes controlling superplastic output... 

None of these accommodation processes is diffusion-controlled, since a diffusional process cannot account for the asymmetric behaviour between tension and compression, due to its inherent symmetry in the sign of the stress. 

As mentioned above, several mechanisms can be responsible for the grain boundary sliding accommodation however, so far there is no consensus on a general single mechanism to accommodate GBS, nor one concerning a particular ceramic. In this section the different mechanisms for accommodation will be analysed. For the sake of clarity, the accommodation process will be described for each type of ceramic, whether monolithic, with secondary glassy phases or composite. 

As can be inferred from the equations outlined above, none of the different models can adjust the creep parameters for all the different ceramics, especially in the case of YTZP,7 explaining why there is still controversy over the accommodation process controlling superplasticity. The same conclusions can be outlined for ceramic composites, although more experimental work should be done.20,31... 

For ceramics with secondary glassy phases, the accommodation processes are governed by these phases. Although diffusion may occur, the glassy phase viscosity controls accommodation mainly in different ways ... 

For instance, dislocations have been shown to play a key role in the accommodation process in YTZP, justifying the threshold stress in YTZP, in contrast with the hypothesis that this threshold stress is due to the electric field created by impurity segregation. However, dislocations are not systematically observed in YTZP furthermore it was shown that in yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia single crystals, the stress necessary to activate dislocations at 1400°C was over 400 MPa, one order of magnitude higher than the stresses used during superplastic deformation of YTZP at the same temperature. It will be necessary to conduct a systematic study of the microstructure of the monolithic ceramics such as YTZP before and after deformation and to correlate their relationship with the superplastic features.

The mass accommodation process can also be defined as the fraction of the collision flux to the surface which is adsorbed no adsorption means collision where the gas molecule is reflected back to the gas phase. Therefore, it is valid that ... 

Kinetic theovy is the most thoroughly developed subject in so far as its application to aerosols are concerned. Several treatises largely devoted to it [1.2,3] are available. In a sense, the subject treats 1) the action of the gas on the motion of the particle (i.e., particle transport), and 2) the effect of the particle upon the gas as in all surface accommodation processes. Clearly,... 

In this chapter, the macroscopic and microscopic aspects of superplasticity, the accommodation processes, the applications and the future prospects of ceramic superplasticity vdll be addressed. 

The perpendicular motion of the two adjoining grains creates a stress concentration at the grain boundaries which must be relaxed in order for the deformation to proceed. This is equivalent to a nonconservative motion, and it is associated with the diffusional fluxes of the components to/from or along the interfaces, or to the dislocation motion, these being the main accommodation processes and the ratecontrolling process associated with GBS. 

Before discussing the possible accommodation processes controlling superplasticity, it is important first to discuss how the nature of the grain boundaries can influence superplastic behavior. 

The accommodation processes are responsible for the rate-control of superplasticity, and no single mechanism exists to accommodate GBS, even with regards to a particular ceramic system. As noted above, several factors can affect the different mechanisms, among which should be included the nature of the impurities present in the grain boundaries, the secondary phases, and the testing conditions. The different mechanisms for accommodation will be analyzed in the following sections. 

The first explanation for threshold stress was proposed recently by Morita and Hiraga [17, 63, 64], who claimed that w-values as high as 5 and Q-values of 680 kj mol can be related to the existence of a threshold stress for intragranular dislocation motion, with such motion being the accommodation process for GBS. This hypothesis was based on the observation of dislocation pile-ups, as reported elsewhere [64].
