Superconducting YBa2Cu3O7−y (YBCO) films having a thickness of 1 μm were prepared on SrTiO3(100) and MgO(100) by the dipping-pyrolysis process using a low-p(O2) annealing method. Heat-treatment conditions were varied along the upper limit of the stability region of the YBCO phase. Films on SrTiO3(100) exhibited strong c-axis orientation with sharp rocking curves (FWHM = 0.8°). The highest Tc,zero of 87 K was obtained for the film heat-treated at 750 °C. On the other hand, films on MgO(100) showed broader rocking curves and their Tc's remained lower. Moreover, Ag addition was found to enhance the Tc values (Tc,zero = 91 K) of films on SrTiO3 heat-treated at 750 °C.

This paper deals with changes in mechanical and structural properties of Steel T23 during long-time annealing at high temperatures. The research is focused on the degradation of the base material (steel T23), where the samples of steel, after the initial heat treatment, were annealed at temperatures of 600, 650 and 700 °C for 10 to 10 000 hours in a furnace with air atmosphere. This contribution summarizes the experimental results of mechanical and structural measurements and gives the relations between them.

ABSTRACTMicrostructural studies were performed on an alloy of composition Fe45Cr5Al50 heat treated at 950°C and oil-quenched and then given isothermal annealing treatments for times up to 200 hours at either 400°C or 500°C. The observed microstructures were correlated with variations in hardness during isothermal annealing. It was deduced that the thermal vacancies retained following the initial heat treatment are removed relatively rapidly from the lattice, which leads to an initial drop in hardness. However, during prolonged annealing, the coarsening of bothFeAl2 particles and a disordered a(Fe,Cr) phase leads to further softening. It was also deduced that the chromium atoms, which remain in solution, are effective solute strengtheners. The a(Fe,Cr) phase, which is coherent with the B2 matrix, appears to coarsen by a ledge growth mechanism.
