Abstract The results of microstructural examinations of reaction products formed at liquid copper/graphene-coated monocrystalline SiC interface are presented. Samples were prepared during a wettability test performed under a vacuum at T = 1100 °C kept constant for 30 min by capillary purification-sessile drop method. Careful analyses of the microstructure and chemical composition were carried out at the interfaces by high resolution scanning electron microscopy combined with local analysis of chemical composition, Raman spectroscopy and computed tomography. The detailed structural investigations showed that in both systems, at the drop/substrate interface, the substrate (SiC) was dissolved and the zone of reaction products was composed of alternately arranged dark and bright layers.

This paper is focused to structure characterization of two differently electrodeposited Ni-Co alloys on the copper surface. The chemical composition of the layers was determined by the EDX analysis in the scanning electron microscope. Phase analysis was realized by diffraction in the transmission mode using synchrotron radiation. Diffraction patterns also show the preferred orientation in the coating with saccharine addition.

Aiming at the glass-to-metal seals serving in the Solar Thermal Power (STP), glass-to-metal vacuum brazed joints were studied. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis were performed to examine the microstructure and element contents of interface seam on the glass-to-metal vacuum brazed joints. Also, the compositional concentration of the interface seam was measured by using energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).

AbstractIn this paper, we outline the use of Raman spectroscopy coupled with scanning confocal optical microscopy for determining the microstructural location of impurities in ice-core specimens. We also demonstrate how the orientations of grains and the misorientations across grain boundaries can be determined to high precision for ice polycrystals using either selected area channeling patterns or electron backscatter patterns in a scanning electron microscope.

This study investigates the effect of liquid gallium (Ga) on metal foils made of titanium (Ti), niobium (Nb), and molybdenum (Mo). The Ti, Nb, and Mo foils were heated in liquid Ga at 120°C for a maximum of two weeks. After heating, the changes in the morphology and the chemical composition of the metal foils were analyzed by using a field emission scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer, X-ray diffractometer, and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer. The results of the analysis indicated that the Nb foil showed the minimum adhesion of liquid Ga to the surface while the maximum amount of liquid Ga was observed to adhere to the Ti foil. In addition, the Nb foil was oxidized and the Mo foil was reduced during the heating process. Considering these effects, we conclude that Mo may be used as an alternative encapsulation material for Ga in addition to Nb, which is used as the conventional encapsulation material, due to its chemical resistance against oxidation in hot liquid Ga.

AbstractThe conservation and durability of historical renders must be carried out through compatible techniques and materials. An important operation is the restitution of historical renders cohesion, turned friable by the loss of binder, usually due to physical and/or chemical actions. Surface consolidation is based on the use of materials with aggregating properties. This operation is reached usually through the application of organic or mineral consolidants, but inorganic consolidants are becoming preferred due to better compatibility and durability. In this article two mineral compatible consolidation products were studied: a commercial suspension of calcium hydroxide nanoparticles in propanol and a limewater dispersion of ethyl silicate. Microscopy (optical and scanning electron microscopy) and X-ray microanalyses of the consolidation products and of the consolidated mortar specimens were carried out. To assess the mechanical properties and product's efficacy, analyses of the compression, flexural strength, and superficial hardness were performed. Microscopy results show that limewater dispersion of ethyl silicate forms platelike silica gels, which can interfere in product penetration. Otherwise, nanolime particles permit homogeneous distribution and optimum penetration on the treated substrate, improving cementing action and the agglomeration process.

The present work reported the preparation of TiC/Fe-based composite by the synthesis reaction from Ti, C and Fe. The sintered composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. TiC, Fe3C and α-Fe were detected by X-ray diffraction analysis. The scanning and transmission electron micrographs revealed the morphology and distribution of the reinforcements, the microstructure of Fe matrix, the interfacial structure of TiC particle-to-Fe matrix. Moreover, the formation reason of the voids in composite was also discussed.

The wetting behavior of Ti -78 Cu and Ti -50 Cu alloys on graphite has been investigated by the sessile drop method in high vacuum. The contact angle of Ti - Cu alloys on graphite is influenced by the wetting temperature. The wetting of Ti -78 Cu and Ti -50 Cu alloys on graphite is chemical wetting. The microstructure and composition of the interfacial zone of the wetting samples were analyzed by SEM, EDX and XRD. Microstructure and phase analysis reveals that inter-diffusions and interfacial reactions take place in the wetting process. The reaction products include TiC and the intermetallic compounds composed of Ti and Cu . The inter-diffusions and interfacial reactions contribute to the interfacial bonding.

A commercial magnet following the N 48 specification was submitted to a detailed microstructural characterization. The magnet presents 10 kOe of coercivity and good 2ndquadrant squareness. The grain size is around 10 micrometers. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) EDAX analysis shows that it is a high copper NdPrFeB alloy following the 3Nd:1Pr proportion, with some aluminum. The magnet was covered by a 15 micrometers layer, with nickel and copper. The microstructural data allow a better understanding of the effect of the alloying elements.
