A number of commercially available chemical additives for utilization in modern high temperature gas turbines were evaluated for their corrosion and deposit inhibiting characteristics. The evaluation was made in pressurized passages which simulate conditions of operating gas turbines. Initial screening tests of 10 hr each were made with a contaminant level of 50 ppm vanadium, and promising additives were further tested for times up to 300 hr at the more realistic contaminant level of a No. 3 GT fuel. Characteristics of the deposits were studied with x-ray diffraction and ash fusion tests. Corrosion rates for various alloys tested with treated fuel were measured and compared to test results obtained with untreated fuel. Conclusions were drawn as to the type of elements most effective in reducing corrosion caused by combinations of vanadium and sodium. The role of elements in preventing deposit buildup is also assessed.

Geopolymers are inorganic materials obtained by the alkaline activation of aluminosilicate sources. The ammonium molybdate could be used as a complexant for silica in order to complex the siliceous species in the alkaline solution. According to this, the aim of this work is to control the siliceous species and to understand the role of ammonium molybdate as a complexing agent acting on the formation of the different networks. To do this, additions of ammonium molybdate (up to 0.32% molar) in the silicate solution were realized along the formulation of geopolymer using two metakaolins. The results highlight that the addition of ammonium molybdate in geopolymer results in a decrease of the shrinkage at high temperature. Moreover, X-ray diffraction data and SEM after calcination show that geopolymers without ammonium molybdate form two phases (KAlSi2O6 and KAlSiO4) while with additions of molybdate, there were only the phase KAlSi2O6 associated with Al2O3 doped Mo and K2Mo2O7. Finally, SEM observations show that additions of ammonium molybdate seem to favor crystallization. The results allow to evidence the role of molybdate in the control of the polycondensation reaction in order to influence the formation of specific network

AbstractSimulated heat-affected zones (HAZs) were made in austenitic sta.inless steel specimens using a Gleeble. The samples were heated to temperatures as high as 1100°C by computer controlled resistance heating. By controlling the heating rate, maximum temperature, and cooling rate, a wide range of residual stresses were introduced in the specimens. Stress measurements were made using X-ray diffraction. It was found that significant stress gradients were produced in the simulated HAZs, and that all stresses were compressive in nature, both in the longitudinal and transverse directions. These results are not representative of the residual stresses determined in the HAZs of real welds, thus calling into question some aspects of the role of the Gleeble in such simulations.

Molybdenum oxide catalyst doped or mixed with (1 - 50) mole % Fe3+ ions were prepared. The structure of the original samples and the samples calcined at 400 °C were characterized using DTA, X-ray diffraction and IR spectra. Measurements of the electrical conductivity of calcined samples with and without isopropyl alcohol revealed that the conductance increases on increasing the content of Fe3+ ions up to 50 mole %. The activation energies of charge carriers were determined in presence and absence of the alcohol. The catalytic dehydration of isopropyl alcohol was carried out at 250 °C using a flow system. The results obtained showed that the doped or mixed catalysts are active and selective towards propene formation. However, the catalyst containing 40 mole % Fe3+ ions exhibited the highest activity and selectivity. Correlations were attempted to the catalyst composition with their electronic and catalytic properties. Probable mechanism for the dehydration process is proposed in terms of surface active sites.

AbstractThe mixed cation triel borate Ga4In4B15O33(OH)3 was synthesized in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus at high-pressure/high-temperature conditions of 12.5 GPa and 1300°C. Although the product could not be reproduced in further experiments, its crystal structure could be reliably determined via single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Ga4In4B15O33(OH)3 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I41/a (origin choice 2) with the lattice parameters a = 11.382(2), c = 15.244(2) Å, and V = 1974.9(4) Å3. The structure of the quaternary triel borate consists of a complex network of BO4 tetrahedra, edge-sharing InO6 octahedra in dinuclear units, and very dense edge-sharing GaO6 octahedra in tetranuclear units.

AbstractHigh-temperature X-ray diffraction techniques were employed to study the condensation reactions which occur when sodium orthophosphates are heated to 380°C. Crystalline Na4P2O7 and an amorphous phase were formed first from an equimolar mixture of Na2HPO4·NaH2PO4 and Na2HPO4 at temperatures above 150°C. Further heating resulted in the formation of Na5P3O10-I (high-temperature form) at the expense of the crystalline Na4P4O7 and amorphous phase. Crystalline Na5P3O10-II (low-temperature form) appears after Na5P3O10-I.Conditions which affect the yield of crystalline Na4P2O7 and amorphous phase as intermediates and their effect on the yield of Na5P3O10 are also presented.

ABSTRACTThe mechanical alloying behavior of elemental powders in the Nb-Si, Ta-Si, and Nb-Ta-Si systems was examined via X-ray diffraction. The line compounds NbSi2 and TaSi2 form as crystalline compounds rather than amorphous products, but Nb5Si3 and Ta5Si3, although chemically analogous, respond very differently to mechanical milling. The Ta5Si3 composition goes directly from elemental powders to an amorphous product, whereas Nb5Si3 forms as a crystalline compound. The Nb5Si3 compound consists of both the tetragonal room-temperature α phase (c/a = 1.8) and the tetragonal high-temperature β phase (c/a = 0.5). Substituting increasing amounts of Ta for Nb in Nb5Si3 initially stabilizes the α-Nb5Si3 structure preferentially, and subsequently inhibits the formation of a crystalline compound.
