Fabrication ferrites

Ferritic stainless contains 15 to 30 percent Cr, with low carbon content (0.1 percent). The higher chromium content improves its corrosive resistance. Type 430 is a typical example. The strength of ferritic stainless can be increased by cold working but not by heat treatment. Fairly ductile ferritic grades can be fabricated by all standard methods. They are fairly easy to machine. Welding is not a problem, although it requires skilled operators. 

The 17% ferritic steels are easier to fabricate than the martensitic grades. They are used extensively in equipment for nitric acid production. The oxygen- and sulfur-resistant 30% chromium steel can be used at temperatures up to 1150°C but only for lightly loaded and well-supported furnace items because of its poor creep and brittlement properties when equipment is down to ambient temperatures [18]. 

Residual stresses occur from welding and other fabrication techniques even at very low stress values. Unfortunately, stress relief of equipment is not usually a reliable or practical solution. Careful design of equipment can eliminate crevices or splash zones in which chlorides can concentrate. The use of high-nickel stainless steel alloy 825 (40% nickel, 21% chromium, 3% molybdenum and 2% copper) or the ferritic/austenitic steels would solve this problem. 

Major uses of the ferritic steels have been on motor vehicles as trim and in domestic equipment such as cutlery and hollow ware, but use has also been made in refrigerators, washing machines and on sinks and similar fittings. Some types would no doubt find much wider application in the chemical field and other fields where their superior corrosion resistance would be a considerable advantage if it was not for the fact that the austenitic types have advantages (sometimes considerable) in fabrication. However, the availability of the low interstitial weldable types and the super ferritics is increasing in scope. 

The ferritic steel 430S17 has enhanced oxidation resistance and finds some applications in sheet form, but its strength at elevated temperature is low. The higher chromium (20-30%) ferritic types show excellent oxidation resistance, but have poor elevated-temperature strength and, being difficult to produce and fabricate, are not used in large quantity. Cast versions of 27-30% Cr are quite widely used, especially where oxidation resistance, coupled with abrasion resistance, is required when high carbon contents are utilised. Such alloys are brittle. 

In this chapter the technological development in cathode materials, particularly the advances being made in the material s composition, fabrication, microstructure optimization, electrocatalytic activity, and stability of perovskite-based cathodes will be reviewed. The emphasis will be on the defect structure, conductivity, thermal expansion coefficient, and electrocatalytic activity of the extensively studied man-ganite-, cobaltite-, and ferrite-based perovskites. Alterative mixed ionic and electronic conducting perovskite-related oxides are discussed in relation to their potential application as cathodes for ITSOFCs. The interfacial reaction and compatibility of the perovskite-based cathode materials with electrolyte and metallic interconnect is also examined. Finally the degradation and performance stability of cathodes under SOFC operating conditions are described. 

The spinel ferrites were fabricated by solid state reaction technique. Cobalt and Zinc ferrites CoxZnyFe204,(x=0.7,0.3,0.4,0.2 and y=0.3,0.7,0.6,0.8) were prepared by solid state reaction technique. The crystalline structure of the sample was investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD). All samples show cubic spinel structure. The lattice parameter decreases with increasing cobalt content. Magnetic properties shows that the prepared sample exhibit ferromagnetic behaviour at room temperature. The saturation magnetization increases with increasing cobalt content. Curie temperature... 

Metal in gap (MIG) or ferrite heads are produced with a combination of machining, bonding, and thin-film processes. Thin-film inductive heads are manufactured using thin-fihn processes similar those of semiconductor 1C technology (discussed in Chapter 19). The thin-film head production process is rather unusual, as it involves both very thin and very thick films. We choose to present here a detailed summary of the fabrication process of thin-film inductive heads with a single-layer spiral coil. This may serve, once again to, illustrate the centrally important role of electrochemical deposition in connection with modem information technology. 

Lithium ferrite itself (x = 0.5) has a high Curie temperature and can be fabricated so as to give a square hysteresis loop satisfactory for digital-computer memory cores. In this application, the dielectric losses connected with the presence of mobile charge carriers can cause a dramatic loss in core quality. The mobile carriers may be introduced by...

It is worth noting that ZnO occupies already an enviable place in the industrial market. Tens of thousands tons of ZnO powder are industrially produced each year which are used in the rubber industry as vulcanisation activator ( 36 %), in the industry of ceramics as a flux ( 26 %), in the chemical industry (desulphuration of gases, fabrication of stearates, phosphates, etc) ( 20 %), as trace elements in the animal food ( 12 %), in the paints ( 3 % 50 % in 1961 ). The last 3 % are used for different applications, in electronics (ferrites, varistors), ends of matches, pharmaceutic industry (fungicidal properties of ZnO for skin-problems, trace elements. ..etc.).
