Influence of Rare-earth Elements on Mechanical Properties of Palladium

The influence of 0.1-0.6 at.-%RE additions (RE= La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Er, Yb) on themechanical properties of Pd was studied. All above RE additions increased not only the strengthproperties at ambient temperature but also the tensile strength, creep rupture time and activation en-ergy at high temperatures, simultaneously increased the elongation of Pd. In the range of dilute con-centration, the strength properties of Pd-RE alloy enhanced linearly with RE concentration. Whenthe strength properties of Pd-RE alloys were normalized at 0.1 at.-%RE, it was found that light REelements had stronger effect on the properties of Pd than heavy RE, whereas Eu, Yb, Ce had anoma-lous effect. In all Pd-RF alloys, Pd-Eu alloy had the highest strength properties, successively Pd-Yband Pd-Ce alloy. The effect mechanisms of RE in alloy, such as purifying impurities, increasingrecrystallization temperature, refining grain size. expanding crystal lattice, increasing dislocation den-sity and decreasing stacking fault energy, forming stable RE oxidation by internal oxidation, and soon, were observed. They were strengthening sensitive factors. The influence of the factors onstrength properties and elongation of Pd was discussed.

DISTRIBUTION AND EFFECT OF Ce IN RE BEARING DUCTILE IRON

The dependence of nodularization of graphite upon Ce content in RE bearing nodular castiron,prepared by directional solidification,has been investigated by electrolyticextraction-radioisotope assay analysis of Ce in each phase of the iron together withmeasurement of nodulized graphite.Results show that the Ce occurs mainly as alloyed form.In the graphite phase,the Ce content is believed to be characterization of nodularization.Thegraphite would completely nodulized only the Ce is over a certain content in graphite phase.

A discussion of the methods for comparing the relative effectiveness of phosphate fertilizers varying in solubility

Because various phosphate (P) fertilizers differ widely in their solubility, it is commonly observed that crop response to P fertilizers varies under the same soil and crop conditions. Furthermore, a major problem encountered in the methods for determining the relative effectiveness (RE) of water-insoluble P fertilizer (e.g., phosphate rock) with respect to water-soluble P fertilizers, e.g., single superphosphate (SSP) and triple superphosphate (TSP), is that their growth response curves are usually nonlinear and often do not share a common maximum yield. In this paper, we review and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the three most commonly used methods for calculating the RE of phosphate rock with respect to TSP (or SSP). The three methods are vertical comparison, horizontal (substitution rate) comparison, and linear-response comparison.
