The addition of CaO to Li2O–Al2O3–SiO2–TiO2(LAST), forming the Li2O–CaO–Al2O3–SiO2–TiO2(LCAST) system, is used in the preparation of low themal expansion coefficient glass-ceramics. By a progressive weight percent substitution of CaO for SiO2, at constant ratios of concentration of Li2O, Al2O3, and TiO2, a number of properties of these glasses have been studied. The results indicated that these thermal properties increased progressively with increasing CaO concentration. X-ray diffraction analysis was utilized to identify the crystalline phase in glass-ceramics of the Li2O–CaO–Al2O3–SiO2-TiO2system. Thed-spacings of the major crystallites were precisely measured and fitted with those of β-spodumene. The minor crystalline phase of titanite, CaO · TiO2· SiO2, was also present. The average thermal expansion coefficients from 25 to 700 °C were 3.50 × 10−6/°C, 3.81 × 10−6/°C, and 3.91 × 10−6/°C for samples A, B, and C, respectively.

A new series of solid solutions Dy2-xGdxMo4O15 (x = 0.0-0.9) were prepared. These compounds all crystallize in monoclinic structure with space group P21/c. The lattice parameters a, b, c and unit cell volumes V increase almost linearly with increasing gadolinium content. The intrinsic thermal expansion coefficients of Dy2-xGdxMo4O15 (x = 0.0 and 0.25) were obtained in the temperature range of 25 to 500°C with high-temperature X-ray diffraction. The correlation between thermal expansion and crystal structure was discussed.

Variable-temperature high-resolution capillary-mode powder X-ray diffraction is used to assess changes in unit-cell dimensions as a function of temperature over the range 188–328 K. No evidence was found for any polymorphic transformations over this temperature range and thermal expansion coefficients for urea were found to be αa= (5.27 ± 0.26) × 10−5 K−1and αc= (1.14 ± 0.057) × 10−5 K−1.

Phase transformation of the Zr-1.0Sn-0.39Nb-0.31Fe-0.05Cr alloy was investigated by high temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD results revealed that the alloy contained two precipitates at room temperature, namely β-Nb and hexagonal Zr(Nb,Fe,Cr,)2. β-Nb was suggested to dissolve into the α-Zr matrix at the 580oC. Thin oxide film formed at the alloy’s surface was identified as mixture of the monoclinic Zr0.93O2and tetragonal ZrO2, when the temperature reached to 750oC and 850 oC. The thermal expansion coefficients of αZr in this alloy was of αa = 8.39×10-6/°C, αc = 2.48×10-6/°C.

Time-resolved x-ray diffraction (TRXRD) was performed during Ti5Si3 synthesis by the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis mode for different Ti size fractions. It was determined that the time for product formation (ca. 15 s) was independent of Ti particle size. However, the formation of Ti5Si4 phase occurred when relatively large titanium particles were used. A simultaneous measurement of the temperature and TRXRD allowed us to attribute the shifting of XRD peaks at high temperature to thermal expansion of the Ti5Si3 product. The thermal expansion coefficients differ for different crystal planes, and their numerical values compare well with those reported previously in the literature.

Residual stresses in dental castings are widely held to be the cause of distortion and change of fit in ceramic bonded to metal dental restorations. Residual stresses are thought to result from the casting process and from ceramic/metal mismatch of thermal expansion coefficients. Such stresses have not been confirmed experimentally. The purpose of this study was to measure residual stress with x-ray diffraction at the various porcelain application steps for two noble dental alloys with two dental opaque porcelains.

The investigation of elemental composition, crystal structure and thermal behavior of vonsenite and hulsite from the Titovskoe boron deposit in Russia is reported. The structures of the borates are described in terms of cation-centered and oxocentred polyhedra. There are different sequences of double chains and layers consisting of oxocentred [OM 4] n + tetrahedra and [OM 5] n + tetragonal pyramids forming a framework. Elemental composition was determined by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Oxidation states and coordination sites of iron and tin in the oxoborates are determined using Mössbauer spectroscopy and compared with EDX and X-ray diffraction data (XRD). According to results obtained from high-temperature Mössbauer spectroscopy, the Fe2+ to Fe3+ oxidation in vonsenite and hulsite occurs at approximately 500 and 600 K, respectively. According to the high-temperature XRD data, this process is accompanied by an assumed deformation of crystal structures and subsequent solid-phase decomposition to hematite and warwickite. It is seen as a monotonic decrease of volume thermal expansion coefficients with an increase in temperature. A partial magnetic ordering in hulsite is observed for the first time with T c ≃ 383 K. Near this temperature, an unusual change of thermal expansion coefficients is revealed. Vonsenite starts to melt at 1571 K and hulsite melts at 1504 K. Eigenvalues of thermal expansion tensor are calculated for the oxoborates as well as anisotropy of the expansion is described in comparison with their crystal structures.
