Abstract MoNiAl-WC reinforced Fe matrix composites were obtained by mechanical alloying. The effect of various reinforcement ratios on microstructure change, elemental characterization and phase transformation were examined by using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersion spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, elemental surface mapping and a microhardness test. Fe and MoNiAl-WC compound and powder mixtures were synthesized by MA and nanocrystalline solid solution was obtained. The increase in the reinforcement ratio reduced grain size in the structure and increased the carbide ratio. The composite demonstrated excellent metallurgical qualities and interface bonding. Moreover, it was found that the amount of porosities increased with increasing reinforcement. X-Ray analysis showed the formation of NiAl, Al3Ni and WC phases.

Elemental Characterization

Nine gold-plated costume jewelries bought in the street market of Porto Alegre and from Chinese websites were investigated through Particle-Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) and Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) in order to verify their elemental composition and distribution. The analyzed costume jewelries were made of Cu-based alloys with Ni, Zn, Sn and Al. Elements such as Ag, Al, Bi, Cd, Co and Fe were found in minor amounts in some particular samples. Through RBS, it was possible to distinguish the bulk from the gold-plated layer. Toxic elements as Ni and Cd were found in at least one sample. The high concentration of Ni comes from the bulk Cu-alloy below the Au layer. In this case, the Au acts as a protective layer separating the Ni from the user’s skin.
