The regularities of changes in the structure and phase composition of the thermal protective aluminide-nickel coating (Ni — 45 %; Al — 14 %; Co — 22 %; Cr — 18.9 %; Fe — 0.15 %; Nb — 0.14 %; Y — 0.09 %; Ca — 0.06 %; Mn — 0.01 %; C — 0.15 %; Si — 0.15 %; S — 0.006 %) after exposure to short-term pulsed heat fluxes of various power, created by the radiation of a pulse-periodic laser LRS-150A with a radiation wavelength λ = 1.06 µm and a pulse duration τ = 12·10–3 s. The radiation energy was E = 5, 10, and 15 J. Microstructural analysis and the elemental composition of the resulting coating were carried out as well as analysis of the phase composition. X-ray microanalysis of the coating was also carried out. In the initial state and after irradiation of the coating with a heat flux of power P = 7·103 W/cm2, light microregions are observed in the micrographs of the surface. These regions do not have clearly defined external boundaries and consist of the NiAl phase and a small amount of the Ni3Al phase with the presence of inclusions of particles containing a solid solution of Ni – Co – Cr. After irradiation of the coating with heat fluxes of higher power (P = 1.7·104 W/cm2 and P = 2.2·104 W/cm2), large convex formations appeared on its surface, consisting mainly of Ni3Al and NiAl phases. On micrographs of the surface, they appear as white areas with well-defined outer boundaries. The content of the Ni3Al phase in them in comparison with the initial state increased, and the content of the NiAl phase decreased, while the particles of inclusions of Ni, Co, and Cr disappeared. It can be assumed that an increase in the Ni3Al content is associated with the dissolution of particles of a solid solution of Ni – Co and Cr in the melt and the subsequent diffusion of nickel into the NiAl phase. When exposed to a heat flux of power P = 2.2·104 W/cm2, microcracks appear on the areas of the coating surface covered with aluminum oxide.

Abstract Defect Sites of CdO, Reducibility, Analysis Three procedures of chemical analysis are proposed for the direct determination of excess Cd in CdO: a spectrophotometric, a titrimetric and a gravimetric one, for 0-1500 ppm, 500-50,000 ppm and above 5%, respectively. The good reproducibility and reliability is illustrated by results referring to CdO samples heat-treated in H 2 and in air between 100 and 350 °C. Reduction in H2 increases the concentration of excess Cd up to 4000 ppm, above that separate Cd phase forms. The excess Cd in solid solution (interstitial sites) is more resistant against re-oxidation, than the bulk Cd phase.

Specimens were prepared using iron-rich magnesia (3~1 mm、≤1 mm) and high purity magnesia (≤0.088 mm) as the main starting materials, adding tabular alumina at different size (3~2、2~1、≤1 mm) and content:3%、6%、9%、12%、15% to discover the influence of tabular alumina on sample performance. Phase composition and microstructure were also analyzed. The results show that specimen with content of 6% of corundum possessed the best comprehensive performance:apparent porosity 17%, bulk density 2.95 g·cm-3, cold crushing strength 74 MPa, refractoriness under load 1700 °C, heat shock resistance of up to 18 times. The formations of magnesium aluminate spinel and hercynite solid solution were enhanced by Fe ion at high temperatures in the iron-rich magnesia-corundum system at the presence of iron oxides, which are able to largely dissolved in periclase.

The study deals with the element–phase composition, microstructure evolution, crystal-lattice parameter, and microdistortions as well as the size of the coherent scattering region in the Al–10.65Si–2.11Cu and Al–5.39Si–1.33Cu alloys irradiated with the high-intensity electron beam. As revealed by the methods of x-ray phase analysis, the principal phases in untreated alloys are the aluminium-based solid solution, silicon, intermetallics, and Fe2Al9Si2 phase. In addition, the Cu9Al4 phase is detected in Al–10.65Si–2.11Cu alloy. Processing alloys with the pulsed electron beam induces the transformation of lattice parameters of Al–10.65Si–2.11Cu (aluminium-based solid solution) and Al–5.39Si–1.33Cu (Al1 and Al2 phases). The reason for the crystal-lattice parameter change in the Al–10.65Si–2.11Cu and Al–5.39Si–1.33Cu alloys is suggested to be the changing concentration of alloying elements in the solid solution of these phases. As established, if a density of electron beam is of 30 and 50 J/cm2, the silicon and intermetallic compounds dissolve in the modified layer. The state-of-the-art methods of the physical materials science made possible to establish the formation of a layer with a nanocrystalline structure of the cell-type crystallization because of the material surface irradiation. The thickness of a modified layer depends on the parameters of the electron-beam treatment and reaches maximum of 90 µm at the energy density of 50 J/cm2. According to the transmission (TEM) and scanning (SEM) electron microscopy data, the silicon particles occupy the cell boundaries. Such changes in the structural and phase states of the materials response on their mechanical characteristics. To characterize the surface properties, the microhardness, wear parameter, and friction coefficient values are determined directly on the irradiated surface for all modification variants. As shown, the irradiation of the material surface with an intensive electron beam increases wear resistance and microhardness of the Al–10.65Si–2.11Cu and Al–5.39Si–1.33Cu alloys.

A range of benefits of implants containing hydroxyapatites results, among other things, from their phase composition and degree of porosity. Poor mechanical properties of hydroxyapatite (HA) ceramics considerably limit its wider use. One of the methods for improvement of poor HA properties is addition of solid solution of Y2O3 in ZrO2. [1-8]. The investigations focused on compositions of ceramic powders based on hydroxyapatite with addition of zirconium dioxide (ZrO2 + 8%wt. Y2O3 and ZrO2 + 20%wt. Y2O3). The powders were axially compacted and then sintered at the temperature of 13000C for two hours. After the process of sintering the samples were subjected to analysis of microstructure, phase composition and geometrical measurements in order to determine volume density in each sample.

ABSTRACTPu-bearing zirconolite and pyrochlore based ceramics were prepared by melting under oxidizing and reducing conditions at 1550 °C. 239Pu content in the samples ranged between ∼10 and ∼50 wt.%. Phase composition of the ceramics and Pu partitioning were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive system (SEM/EDS). Major phases in the samples were found to be the target zirconolite and pyrochlore as well as a cubic fluorite structure oxide. Normally the Pu content in the Pu host phases was 10–12 wt.%. This corresponds to the Pu content recommended for matrices for immobilization of excess weapons plutonium. At higher Pu content (up to 50 wt.%) additional phases, such as a PuO2-based cubic fluorite-structured solid solution, perovskite, and rutile were found.
