AbstractPulsed plasma in the impulse plasma deposition (IPD) synthesis is generated in a coaxial accelerator by strong periodic electrical pulses, and it is distributed in a form of energetic plasma packets. A nearly complete ionization of gas, in these conditions of plasma generation, favors the nucleation of new phase of ions and synthesis of metastable materials in a form of coatings which are characterized by amorphous and/or nanocrystalline structure. In this work, the Fe–Cu alloy, which is immiscible in the state of equilibrium, was selected as a model system to study the possibility of formation of a non-equilibrium phase during the IPD synthesis. Structural characterization of the layers was done by means of X-ray diffraction and conversion-electron Mössbauer spectroscopy. It was found that supersaturated solid solutions were created as a result of mixing and/or alloying effects between the layer components delivered to the substrate independently and separately in time. Therefore, the solubility in the Fe–Cu system was largely extended in relation to the equilibrium conditions, as described by the equilibrium phase diagram in the solid state.

Synchrotron X-ray radiography was used to in situ study the diffusion behavior and microstructural evolution of Al/Cu bimetal. The interface diffusion, dendritic/eutectic growth and the formation of intermetallic compounds around the Al/Cu bimetal interface were analyzed. During the isothermal diffusion process, a liquefied transition zone at the interface with a concentration gradient was formed when the Cu concentration exceeded eutectic composition of Al-Cu alloy. During the solidification of transition zone, the growth sequence of α-Al dendrites and eutectic structure were mainly dominated by the variation of Cu concentration and thermal field according to the temperature of the liquidus line of the equilibrium phase diagram. Finally, the transition zone around the interface were identified to be I (α-Al), II (Al+Al2Cu), III (Al2Cu) and IV (Al2Cu, AlCu and Al4Cu9), respectively.

Equilibrium Phases

The phase and microstructure formation as well as mechanical properties of the rapidly solidified Mg67Ag33 (at. %) alloy were investigated. Owing to kinetic constraints effective during rapid cooling, the formation of equilibrium phases is suppressed. Instead, the microstructure is mainly composed of oversaturated hexagonal closest packed Mg-based dendrites surrounded by a mixture of phases, as probed by X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. A possible non-equilibrium phase diagram is suggested. Mainly because of the fine-grained dendritic and interdendritic microstructure, the material shows appreciable mechanical properties, such as a compressive yield strength and Young’s modulus of 245 ± 5 MPa and 63 ± 2 GPa, respectively. Due to this low Young’s modulus, the Mg67Ag33 alloy has potential for usage as biomaterial and challenges ahead, such as biomechanical compatibility, biodegradability and antibacterial properties are outlined.

Intermetallic formation at 425°C in the aluminum–copper system has been studied by scanning electron microscopy using welded diffusion couples. Several Al–Cu phases predicted by the equilibrium phase diagram of the elements and voids taking place in the diffusion zone have been detected in the couples. The predominant phases were found to be Al 2 Cu 3 and the solid solution of Al in Cu, α. The growth of the intermetallic layer obeyed the parabolic law.

Melting Experiments

Melting experiments were performed encompassing both pure and impure substances. The pure substances included n-octadecane paraffin and n-eicosane paraffin, while the impure substances were mixtures synthesized from the pure paraffins. The experiments were carried out in a closed vertical tube whose wall was subjected to a step-change increase in temperature to initiate the melting. For each impure substance, supplementary measurements were made of two characteristic temperatures: the temperature T** at which melting of the solid phase first begins and the lowest temperature T* at which the melting can go to completion. For a pure substance, T** = T*. The time-dependent melting results for all the investigated substances, both pure and impure, were well correlated as a function of FoSte**(Gr**)1/8 alone, where the ** signifies the presence of T** in the temperature difference which appears in Ste and Gr. This correlation enables melting rates for impure substances to be determined from melting rates for pure substances. The T** values needed for the implementation of the correlation can be obtained from simple experiments, obviating the need for the complete equilibrium phase diagram.

In order to obtain a nanocrystalline and amorphous structure, the Mg20Ni8M2 (M=Cu, Co) hydrogen storage alloys were fabricated by the melt spinning technology. The microstructures of the alloys were characterized by XRD, SEM and HRTEM. The effects of the melt spinning on the hydriding and dehydriding kinetics of the alloys were investigated. The results indicate that the as-spun (M=Cu) alloys hold an entire nanocrystalline structure even if the limited spinning rate is applied, while the as-spun (M=Co) alloys display a nanocrystalline and amorphous structure as the spinning rate grows to 30 m/s, suggesting that the substitution of Co for Ni facilitates the glass formation in the Mg2Ni-type alloy. The melt spinning remarkably improves the gaseous hydriding and dehydriding kinetics of the alloys. As the spinning rate grows from 0 (As-cast was defined as the spinning rate of 0 m/s) to 30 m/s, the hydrogen absorption saturation ratio ( ) is enhanced from 56.72% to 92.74% for the (M=Cu) alloy and from 80.43% to 94.38% for the (M=Co) alloy. The hydrogen desorption ratio ( ) is raised from14.89% to 40.37% for the (M=Cu) alloy and from 24.52% to 51.67% for the (M=Co) alloy.
