Effect of a Weak Constant Magnetic Field on Phase Transition
摘要
For the formation of nanodispersed powder, it is necessary to ensure a high hardening rate. The investigations are devoted to the study of the magnetic field′s influence on the dispersity of the powder formed in the cooling of a heterogeneous plasma.
The paper provides the results of investigating nanoparticles formed in a constant magnetic field. Metals were evaporated using a low-voltage arc (Fe + C, 10 mT), a high voltage arc (Cu + SiO2, 15 mT), laser ablation (Ti, 80 mT). The powder obtained in a low-voltage arc was studied using an XRD-7000S X-ray diffractometer. The morphology and the chemical composition of these nanoparticles were considered using a Tescan Vega II LMU electron microscope. The powders obtained from a high-voltage arc were analyzed using a JEOL JSM-7500FA electron microscope. The dispersity of the powder formed in laser ablation was determined on a Shimadzu SALD-7101 diffractometer.
Due to the difference in condensation temperatures in the mixtures of Ar, O2, N2, C, and Fe or Ar, O2, N2, Cu, and SiO2, two-layer microparticles are formed. It has been established that the powder of ferromagnetic or nonmagnetic substances formed in the magnetic field from plasma has a larger modal size and a smaller range of dimensions.
