MoSi2 is a potential matrix material for high temperature structural composites due to its high melting temperature and good oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. The two major drawbacksfor structural applications are inadequate high temperature strength and poor low temperature ductility. The search for appropriate composite additions has been the focus of extensive investigations in recent years. The addition of SiC in a nanolayered configuration was shown to exhibit superior oxidation resistance and significant hardness increase through annealing at 500°C. One potential application of MoSi2- SiC multilayers is for high temperature coatings, where structural stability ofthe layering is of major concern. In this study, we have systematically investigated both the evolution of phases and the stability of layers by varying the heat treating conditions.Alternating layers of MoSi2 and SiC were synthesized by DC-magnetron and rf-diode sputtering respectively. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) was used to examine three distinct reactions in the specimens when exposed to different annealing conditions: crystallization and phase transformation of MoSi2, crystallization of SiC, and spheroidization of the layer structures.

Gas from the gasification of pellets made from renewable sources of energy or from lower-quality fuels often contains a number of pollutants. This may cause technical difficulties during the gas use in internal combustion gas engines used for energy and heat cogeneration. Therefore, an adequate system of gas cleaning must be selected. In line with such requirements, this paper focuses on the characterization and comparison of gases produced from different types of biomass during gasification. The biomass tested was wood, straw, and hay pellets. The paper gives a detailed description and evaluation of the measurements from a fix-bed gasifier for the properties of the produced gases, raw fuels, tar composition, and its particle content before and after the cleaning process. The results of elemental composition, net calorific value, moisture, and ash content show that the cleaned gases are suitable for internal combustion engine-based cogeneration systems, but unsuitable for gas turbines, where a different cleaning technology would be needed.

High temperature corrosion of 310S austenitic stainless steel in simulated rocket combustion gas at 900 degree Celsius was investigated and discussed in this paper. 310S austenitic stainless steel was chosen because it was used for building some components of a rocket launcher. The corrosive atmosphere was prepared by mixing of hydrochloric acid and distilled water with 5.5 mole per liter then, boiling that solution and feeding into a corrosion testing chamber. The chamber was set up at 900 degree Celsius with duration 210 hrs. After testing, the corroded specimen was microscopically characterized by OM and SEM/EDS techniques. The corrosion layer was classified into three main sublayers: peeling-off scale, external corrosion sublayer, and internal corrosion sublayer. The local chemical information was analyzed by XRD (in case of peeling-off scale) and SEM/EDS (in case of external and internal corrosion sublayers). The peeling off scale mainly comprised Fe2O3and Fe21.3O32ferrous oxides because they needed much oxygen consumption to exist. In case of external and internal sublayers, there were a lot of pore tunnels and corrosion products. Chlorine and/or hydrogen chloride would penetrate through a passive film and, then, metal chlorides was formed on both external and internal corrosion sublayers. Metal chlorides would volatile because of their lower evaporation temperature than the testing temperature. Moreover, they were oxidized by oxygen in wet condition and resulted metal oxides mostly remaining on the external corrosion sublayer.
