In this study, solid state diffusion welding behavior of titanium alloys was investigated. Formation mechanism of diffusion welding process in six stages is proposed, which is based on cavitation process. The specimens were diffusion welded at elevated temperature under a hydrostatic pressure in an inert environment and the results confirmed the formation mechanism at each corresponding stage. This includes clear evidence of void closure and grain boundary migration at the final stage.

ABSTRACTThe dominant pathway for thin film interdiffusion and interface reactions is often via grain boundaries. We have made EXAFS measurements of grain boundary constituents for two systems: interdiffusion in Ag-Au bilay-ers and solid state reaction of Nb with a copper-tin bronze to form Nb3Sn. The Ag-Au results indicate that Au in saturated Ag grain boundaries has an environment similar to a dilute Au in Ag solution with reduced coordination. For the Nb-bronze reaction, the results for the Cu environment indicate distinct changes in the grain boundary environment when small amounts of Ti, Hf, Zr, and Ta are added to the starting Nb. Both results demonstrate the ability of EXAFS to probe grain boundary environments, and to provide important structural information in understanding solid state diffusion and interdiffusion in thin film systems.

Based on the interaction of solid and liquid phases in metallic systems, the paper deals with the properties of grain boundary propagation (migration) in solid-state alloys. Using the effect of surface solid-state dispersion enables to obtain composite materials and brazed joints with a required set of physical and mechanical properties. For the first time, the authors investigate the features of boundary migration in type II systems, in which, in accordance with the thermodynamic criterion σss< 2 σSL, the grain-boundary propagation is not basically allowed.

The segregation of solute or imparity elements to grain boundaries can occur by three well-defined processes. The first is Gibbsian segregation in which an element of minimal matrix solubility confines itself to a monolayer at the grain boundary. Classical examples include Bi in Cu and S or P in Fe. The second process involves the depletion of excess matrix solute by volume diffusion to the boundary. In the boundary, the solute atoms diffuse rapidly to precipitates, causing them to grow by the ‘collector-plate mechanism.’ Such grain boundary diffusion is thought to initiate “Diffusion-Induced Grain Boundary Migration,” (DIGM). This process has been proposed as the origin of eutectoid transformations or discontinuous grain boundary reactions. The third segregation process is non-equilibrium segregation which result in a solute build-up around the boundary because of solute-vacancy interactions.All of these segregation phenomena usually occur on a sub-micron scale and are often affected by the nature of the grain boundary (misorientation, defect structure, boundary plane).

The Ni4Mo alloy has a short-range ordered fee structure (α) above 868°C, but transforms below this temperature to an ordered bet structure (β) by rearrangement of atoms on the fee lattice. The disordered α, retained by rapid cooling, can be ordered by appropriate aging below 868°C. Initially, very fine β domains in six different but crystallographically related variants form and grow in size on further aging. However, in the temperature range 600-775°C, a coarsening reaction begins at the former α grain boundaries and the alloy also coarsens by this mechanism. The purpose of this paper is to report on TEM observations showing the characteristics of this grain boundary reaction.

In this paper the migration of a grain triple junction in apure ice sample with bubbles at -5°C was studied for almost 3hs. This allowed tracking the progress of the Grain Boundary (BG) and its interaction with the bubbles. The evolution of the grain triple junction was recorded from successive photographs obtained witha LEICA® optical microscope. Simultaneously, numerical simulations were carried out using Monte Carlo to obtain some physical parameters characteristic of the BG migration on ice.
