Microstructure and properties of nitrided layer of titanium plate, produced by simultaneous laser quenching and liquid-nitrogen cryogenics

Have studied microstructure of the gas nitriding layer and the laser quenching/ nitriding layer using the X-ray diffractometer and the transmission electron microscope to the brittl of nitriding layer. The results show that the content of Fe3N in composite nitrided layer increased from 14.74% to the 69.45%, while the crisp hard ξ-Fe2N content dropped from 79.95%to 25.03%, Especially the Cr2N particles are much finer and the depth of the nitrided layer increases. There have phase relation, coherence and compatibility between γ'-Fe4N and α-Fe. spherical particles of cementite was formed in lower strip bainite, while the γ′ of gas nitriding diffusion layer is big, the carbide assumes the long strip off and with distributing certain directivity. Brittleness of laser hardening/ nitriding layer reduces.

Electron probe microanalysis of frozen hydrated kidneysThe goal of the method is to measure on the same preparation the chemical elemental content of the renal luminal tubular fluid and of the surrounding renal tubular cells. The following method has been developed. Rat kidneys are quenched in solid nitrogen. They are trimmed under liquid nitrogen and mounted in a copper holder using a conductive medium. Under liquid nitrogen, a flat surface is exposed by sawing with a diamond saw blade at constant speed and constant pressure using a custom-built cryosaw. Transfer into the electron probe column (Cameca, MBX) is made using a simple transfer device maintaining the sample under liquid nitrogen in an interlock chamber mounted on the electron probe column. After the liquid nitrogen is evaporated by creating a vacuum, the sample is pushed into the special stage of the instrument. The sample is maintained at close to liquid nitrogen temperature by circulation of liquid nitrogen in the special stage.

A liquid nitrogen stage has been developed for the JEOL JEM-100B electron microscope equipped with a scanning attachment. The design is a modification of the standard JEM-100B SEM specimen holder with specimen cooling to any temperatures In the range ~ 55°K to room temperature. Since the specimen plane is maintained at the ‘high resolution’ focal position of the objective lens and ‘bumping’ and thermal drift la minimized by supercooling the liquid nitrogen, the high resolution capability of the microscope is maintained (Fig.4).

When sharp metal filaments of W, Fe, Nb or Ta are observed in the field-ion microscope (FIM), their appearance is differentiated primarily by variations in regional brightness. This regional brightness, particularly prominent at liquid nitrogen temperature has been attributed in the main to chemical specificity which manifests itself in a paricular array of surface-atom electron-orbital configurations.Recently, anomalous image brightness and streaks in both fcc and bee materials observed in the FIM have been shown to be the result of surface asperities and related topographic features which arise by the unsystematic etching of the emission-tip end forms.
