Electric fields have been applied across oxides growing on a high temperature alloy and control of the oxidation of the material has been demonstrated. At present, three-fold increases in the oxidation rate have been measured in accelerating fields and the oxidation process has been completely stopped in a retarding field.The experiments have been conducted with an iron-base alloy, Pe 25Cr 5A1 0.1Y, although, in principle, any alloy capable of forming an adherent aluminum oxide layer during oxidation can be used. A specimen is polished and oxidized to produce a thin, uniform insulating layer on one surface. Three platinum electrodes are sputtered on the oxide surface and the specimen is reoxidized.

Conventionally cast γ’ precipitation hardened nickel-base superalloys possess well-defined dendritic structures and normally exhibit pronounced segregation. Splat quenched, or rapidly solidified alloys, on the other hand, show little or no evidence for phase decomposition and markedly reduced segregation. In what follows, it is shown that comparable results have been obtained in superalloys processed by the LASERGLAZE™ method.In laser glazing, a sharply focused laser beam is traversed across the material surface at a rate that induces surface localized melting, while avoiding significant surface vaporization. Under these conditions, computations of the average cooling rate can be made with confidence, since intimate contact between the melt and the self-substrate ensures that the heat transfer coefficient is reproducibly constant (h=∞ for perfect contact) in contrast to the variable h characteristic of splat quenching. Results of such computations for pure nickel are presented in Fig. 1, which shows that there is a maximum cooling rate for a given absorbed power density, corresponding to the limiting case in which melt depth approaches zero.

Inconel 718, a precipitation hardenable nickel-base alloy, is a versatile high strength, weldable wrought alloy that is used in the gas turbine industry for components operated at temperatures up to about 1300°F. The nominal chemical composition is 0.6A1-0.9Ti-19.OCr-18.0Fe-3Mo-5.2(Cb + Ta)- 0.1C with the balance Ni (in weight percentage). The physical metallurgy of IN 718 has been the subject of a number of investigations and it is now established that hardening is due, primarily, to the formation of metastable, disc-shaped γ" an ordered body-centered tetragonal structure (DO2 2 type superlattice).

AbstractA study of Si:H layers formed by high dose hydrogen implantation (up to 3x107cm-2) using pulsed beams with mean currents up 40 mA/cm2 was carried out in the present work. The Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS), channeling of He ions, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to study the implanted silicon, and to identify the structural defects (a-Si islands and nanocrystallites). Implantation regimes used in this work lead to creation of the layers, which contain hydrogen concentrations higher than 15 at.% as well as the high defect concentrations. As a result, the nano- and microcavities that are created in the silicon fill with hydrogen. Annealing of this silicon removes the radiation defects and leads to a nanocrystalline structure of implanted layer. A strong energy dependence of dechanneling, connected with formation of quasi nanocrystallites, which have mutual small angle disorientation (<1.50), was found after moderate annealing in the range 200-500°C. The nanocrystalline regions are in the range of 2-4 nm were estimated on the basis of the suggested dechanneling model and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements. Correlation between spectroscopic ellipsometry, visible photoluminescence, and sizes of nanocrystallites in hydrogenated nc-Si:H is observed.

AbstractThe need for development of high temperature wear resistant composite materials with superior mechanical properties and tribological properties is increasing significantly. The high temperature wear properties of aluminium boron carbide composites was evaluated in this investigation. The effect of load, sliding velocity, temperature and reinforcement percentage on wear rate was determined by the pin heating method using pin heating arrangement. The size and structure of base alloy particles change considerably with an increase of boron carbide particles. The wettability and interface bonding between the matrix and reinforcement enhanced by the addition of potassium flurotitanate. ANOVA technique was used to study the effect of input parameters on wear rate. The investigation reveals that the load had higher significance than sliding velocity, temperature and weight fraction. The pin surface was studied with a high-resolution scanning electron microscope. Regression analysis revealed an extensive association between control parameters and response. The developed composites can be used in the production of automobile parts requiring high wear, frictional and thermal resistance.

Abstract INCONEL alloy 718SPF is an age-hardenable austenitic material whose strength is largely dependent on the precipitation of a gamma prime phase following heat treatment. The base alloy, however, possesses two-essential characteristics for super-plastic forming; grain size stability over time and temperature; and a combination of low flow stress and significant ductility. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, microstructure, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as creep and fatigue. It also includes information on low and high temperature performance. Filing Code: Ni-471. Producer or source: Inco Alloys International Inc.
