AbstractA mineralogical and microstructural study of bentonites from 'Cerro del Aguila' located in the Tagus Basin (Toledo, Spain) was carried out using XRD, SEM and TEM observations and chemical data obtained by TEM-EDX. The bentonites are mainly composed of trioctahedral smectite with a unit-cell formula (Si3.76Al0.24)(Al0.44Fe3+0.26Mg1.81)Ca0.05K0.19O10(OH)2 and small amounts of illite. The relationships between illite and smectite particles observed by SEM and TEM allowed the study of the weathering process of illite to form smectite through possible intermediate stages. The transformation begins as an exfoliation normal to the stacking direction and develops by opening of the interlayer spacing, the replacement of K+ by hydrated interlayer cations and slight reorganization of the 2:1 layer structure. The so-called solid-state transformation process then proceeds by further dissolution and the formation of a colloidal phase acting as raw material in the growth of new phyllosilicates such as smectite.

Copper mould spray casting and aging treatment were performed to investigate the microstructure evolution of a Ni-base superalloy. With increasing the cooling rate during solidification, the morphology of primary γ phase changes from coarse dendrite to fine dendritic structure with radial-like feature, accompanied by the inhibition of γ′ phase due to the shortened period during the subsequent solid state transformation process. After aging treatment, both the size and volume fraction of γ′ phase are increased with prolonging the isothermal time, which generate the morphology transition of precipitates from irregular and spherical to ellipse and rectangle due to the competition between the interface energy and strain energy.

AbstractThe reconstructive high-temperature transformation of NaAlSiOX-ray precession patterns of single crystals heattreated between 1543 K and 1593 K yielded an oriented transformation of NaAlSiOThe oriental relationships between nepheline and carnegieite are similar to those observed in the high-temperature transformation of tridymite to cristobalite. However, the transformation mechanisms are believed to be different. Thermally activated Na and weakening of the tetrahedral Al–O-bonds produce quickly migrating non-bridging O-atoms which act as conversion nuclei, accelerating strongly the transformation process in comparison to SiO

The Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) it’s an important analysis in research since the 20thcentury, being used is various fields such as: physics, chemistry, science and materials technology. Its applicability has also extended to other fields, such as nanothermodynamics and bio-thermodynamics. Calorimetry measures the amount of heat absorbed/dissipated by a test sample as compared to a reference value, when the test sample is subjected to a heating and/or cooling cycle. The calorimetric effect may be revealed by the temperature-and/or time-dependent heat flow variation, and its evaluation makes sense when particular heat flow variations, specific to the various transformations accompanying temperature variation, occur. The research described in this paper focuses on the study of calorimetry of ultra tough plastic materials such B4300G4 and B4300G6. The samples were obtained by injection moulding and the planning of the experiments was achieved by means of the Taguchi methodology. The differential scanning calorimetry will show the endothermal and exothermal transformations during which we measured the transformation onset and completion temperatures, as well as the temperature in the middle of the transformation process. Also will be measured the amount of absorbed and dissipated heat, respectively. The DSC diagram showed no temperature-dependent heat flow variation that could suggest a solid state transformation. This paper aims to highlight the behavior of glass transition using DSC analysis, the transformation that occurs during heating of the two polymers obtained using three injection angles: 0o, 45oand 90o.

AbstractMultilayer films, consisting of alternating layers of crystalline Ni and Ti, have been prepared by RF sputter deposition over a range of modulation wavelengths corresponding to an overall composition of Ni50Ti50. These films have been characterized by xray diffraction and Rutherford backscattering measurements. The solid-state transformation by interdiffusional mixing of the individual layers has been directly studied by differential scanning calorimetry and correlated with structural measurements. These measurements indicate that the solid-state reaction of Ni and Ti multilayers proceeds through the formation of a metastable solid solution of Ti in Ni followed by the formation of intermetallic equilibrium compounds. No direct calorimetric or structural evidence for the formation of an amorphous Ni-Ti phase has been found in these samples.
