Modeling of Melt Flow and Heat Transfer in Stationary Gas Tungsten Arc Welding with Vertical and Tilted Torches
2021
A 3D numerical simulation was conducted to study the transient development of temperature distribution in stationary gas tungsten arc welding with filler wire. Heat transfer to the filler wire and the workpiece was investigated with vertical (90°) and titled (70°) torches. Heat flux, current flux, and gas drag force were calculated from the steady-state simulation of the arc. The temperature in the filler wire was determined at three different time intervals: 0.12 s, 0.24 s, and 0.36 s. The filler wire was assumed not to deform during this short time, and was therefore simulated as solid. The temperature in the workpiece was calculated at the same intervals using heat flux, current flux, ga…
Influence of the preparative route on the properties of WOx–ZrO2 catalysts: A detailed structural, spectroscopic, and catalytic study
2007
Abstract Two series of tungstated zirconia (WZ) solid acids covering a wide range of tungsten surface densities ( δ, W at/nm2 ) were prepared by nonconventional impregnation and coprecipitation routes, leading to samples with enhanced surface area ( ∼ 70 – 120 m 2 / g ) on annealing at 973–1073 K. The materials were thoroughly characterized by N2 physisorption , XRD, Raman, XPS, H 2-TPR, and DR UV–vis spectroscopy. The catalytic behavior of the Pt-promoted WZ catalysts (1 wt% Pt) was evaluated for the hydroconversion of n-hexadecane used as model feed representative of Fischer–Tropsch waxes. Both series of catalysts displayed a pronounced maximum in the reaction rate and a minimum in the se…
INFLUENCE OF THE ANODIZATION CONDITIONS ON THE ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES AND CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC STRUCTURES OF THE CORROSION LAYERS ON TUNGSTEN. A PHOTOELEC…
1983
ABSTRACT The influence of morphology, composition and crystallographic structure on the photoelectrochemical behaviour of anodic oxide films on tungsten obtained in various conditions of anodization has been investigated. Different photocurrent spectra and absorption edges were obtained for each type of film. Optical band gaps ranging between 2.55 eV and 3.15 eV were determined for crystalline and amorphous WO 3 films grown in different conditions. The low quantum efficiency of the anodic films must be attributed to the presence of an amorphous (a-W0 3 ) film which controls the transport of the injected photocarriers.
Eurofusion-DEMO Divertor - Cassette Design and Integration
2020
International audience; The Eurofusion-DEMO design will complete the Pre Conceptual Design phase (PCD) with a PCD Gate, named G1, scheduled to take place in Q4 2020 that will focus on assessing the feasibility of the plant and its main components prior to entering into the Conceptual Design phase. In the paper first an overview is given of the Eurofusion-DEMO Divertor Assembly including design and interface description, systems and functional requirements, load specification, system classification, manufacturing procedures and cost estimate. Then critical issues are discussed and potential design solutions are proposed, e.g.:- Neutron material damage limits of the different (structural) mat…
Synthesis and ROMP activity of aminophenol-substituted tungsten(VI) and molybdenum(VI) complexes
2008
Abstract Tungsten(VI) and molybdenum(VI) complexes [MO(L1)Cl2] and [M(X)(L2)Cl3] (X = O, NPh) with tridentate aminobis(phenolate) ligand L1 = methylamino-N,N-bis(2-methylene-4,6-dimethylphenolate) and bidentate aminophenolate ligand L2 = 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-((dimethylamino)methyl)phenolate) were prepared and characterised. These complexes are principally stable in open atmosphere under ambient conditions. When activated with Et2AlCl, they exhibited high activity in ring-opening metathesis polymerisation (ROMP) of 2-norbornene (NBE) and its derivatives. Especially complexes [M(NPh)(L2)Cl3], which are easily available from corresponding metal oxides MO3 by a simple three-step synthesis, were …
<title>In-situ x-ray absorption fine structure and x-ray diffraction studies of hydrogen intercalation in tungsten oxides</title>
1997
We present in-situ x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) (at the W L 3 -edge) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) studies of hydrogen intercalation into stable monoclinic (m-WO 3 ) and metastable hexagonal (h-WO 3 ) and cubic (c-WO 3 ) phases of tungsten oxide. The analysis of XAFS and XRD data allowed us to reconstruct the local environment around tungsten ions in the first coordination shell. The obtained results are compared with the existing structural models.
Keggin heteropolyacid H3PW12O40 supported on different oxides for catalytic and catalytic photo-assisted propene hydration
2013
Catalytic and catalytic photo-assisted hydration of propene to form 2-propanol in gas–solid regime at atmospheric pressure and 85 1C were carried out by using a heteropolyacid (POM) supported on different oxides. Binary materials were prepared by impregnation of H3PW12O40 on different commercial and home prepared supports (TiO2, SiO2, WO3, ZrO2, ZnO, Al2O3). Some of the composites were active both for catalytic and catalytic photo-assisted reactions. The Keggin type POM was completely and partially degraded, when supported on ZnO and Al2O3, respectively, and these binary solids always resulted as inactive for both catalytic and catalytic photo-assisted reactions. The supported Keggin POM sp…
<title>Forward diffracted parametric X radiation from a thick Tungsten single crystal at 855 MeV electron energy</title>
2007
Features of forward diffracted Parametric X-Radiation (PXR) were investigated at experiments with the 855 MeV electron beam of the Mainz Microtron MAMI employing a 410 micrometer thick tungsten single crystal. Virtual photons from the electron field are diffracted by the (10-1) plane at a Bragg angle of 3.977 degree. Forward emitted radiation was analyzed at an energy of 40 keV with the (111) lattice planes of a flat silicon single crystal in Bragg geometry. Clear peak structures were observed in an angular scan of the tungsten single crystal. The results were analyzed with a model which describes forward diffracted PXR under real experimental conditions. The experiments show that forward d…
XAFS analysis of the low symmetry octahedral molybdenum and tungsten oxides
1995
Abstract Comparative XAFS analysis of the main isostructural crystalline phases of W(Mo)O3 oxides and W(Mo)O3·nH2O hydrates has been done at the W L3 and Mo K edges. These compounds have (1) 3D perovskite-type (PT) structure (m-WO3); (2) 2D PT structure (WO3·H2O and MoO3·nH2O (n = 1,2)); (3) 2D hexagonal-type structure (WO3·1/3H2O) and (4) 2D double layered structure (α-MoO3). The detailed analysis of X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) in the low-symmetry structures shows that in order to simulate the experimental spectrum, it is sufficient to take into account single-scattering contributions in the range from 1.7 to ∼ 5.0 A and a number of multiple-scattering paths from nearly linear a…
High-pressure theoretical and experimental study of HgWO4
2011
HgWO 4 at ambient pressure is characterized using a combination of ab initio calculations, X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering measurements. The effect of low pressure and temperature on the structural stability is analysed. Extending our ab initio study to the range of higher pressures, a sequence of stable phases up to 30GPa is proposed. © 2011 Taylor & Francis.
