The microstructural evolution, thermodynamics and kinetics of Mo-21%Tm2O3 (mass fraction, %) powder mixtures during ball milling were investigated using X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Ball milling induced Tm2O3 to be decomposed and then dissolved into Mo crystal. The supersaturated nanocrystalline solid solution of Mo (Tm, O) was obtained after 96 h of ball milling. The elements of Mo, Tm and O were distributed uniformly in the ball-milled particles. Based on the semi-experimental theory of Miedema, a thermodynamic model was developed to calculate the driving force of phase evolution. There was no chemical driving force to form a crystal solid solution of Tm atoms in Mo crystal or an amorphous phase because the Gibbs free energy for both processes was higher than zero. For Mo-21%Tm2O3, it was mechanical work, not negative heat of mixing, that provided the driving force to form supersaturated nanocrystalline Mo (Tm, O) solid solution.

The structural evolution and cationic stoichiometry of Bi(Pb)–Sr–Ca–Cu–O superconductors have been studied using transmission electron microscopy and x-ray microanalysis. The nature of the incommensurate modulation changes systematically as increasing amounts of lead are added. X-ray microanalysis studies reveal that lead replaces Bi in the structure. Pb addition improves the microstructural homogeneity leading to the formation of a nearly homogeneous sample consisting of the “2223” phase. Based upon all the experimental results, it is inferred that the role of Pb substitution is related to the thermodynamics and kinetics of the formation of the n = 3 phase.

Nanocrystalline supersaturated solid solutions were formed by mechanically alloyed Fe-28Al (in atom percent) from the elemental powder of iron and aluminum. Phase evolution, grain size and lattice strain of these powders were determined and discussed. A thermodynamic model was developed based on semi-experimental theory of Miedema to calculate the chemical driving force for phase evolution. The influence of thermodynamic driving forces, namely the Gibbs free energy of mixing, for the solid solution and the amorphous was discussed and corresponded to the sequence of phase formations during mechanical alloying.

A brief summary is given of the desired effects of precipitation of microalloy nitrides and carbides in austenite and ferrite prior, during and after g−a transformation. Precipitation of microalloy compounds of Nb(C,N), TiC and V(C,N) is discussed in relation to several grain refinement and precipitation strengthening mechanisms. An improved understanding of the thermodynamics and kinetics of precipitation and phase transformations is presented using the approach based on the chemical driving force. Nucleation of intragranular polygonal ferrite on VN particles that grow in austenite and the formation of acicular ferrite inside the austenitic grains in Vsteels is described. The role of carbon in increasing the driving force for nucleation is elucidated and the benefits of using microalloy carbo-nitrides for precipitation strengthening of bainitic steels are reviewed. An expanded view on the role of microalloy carbo-nitrides in grain refinement and precipitation strengthening is presented.

ABSTRACTPhase evolution during ball milling of Si in NH3 gas and during subsequent annealing has been studied and compared with nitride formation during ion bombardment of Si. X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, Rutherford backscattering and channeling, combustion analysis and transmission electron microscopy have been used as analytical techniques. Results have shown that an amorphous SixNy(Fe) phase forms during milling which transforms into α-Si3N4 and FeSi2 on annealing. During ion bombardment, slightly N-rich Si3N4 is formed but it is mostly crystalline at temperatures between 150 and 450°C.

AbstractMicrostructural evolution in a CeO2-Gd2O3 system at atomic and nanoscale levels with increasing Gd concentration has been comprehensively investigated by transmission electron microscopy. When the Gd concentration was increased from 10 to 80 at.%, the phase transformation from ceria with fluorite structure to solid solution with C-type structure was not a sudden change but an evolution in the sequence of clusters, domains, and precipitates with C-type structure in the fluorite-structured matrix. Moreover, the ordering of aggregated Gd cations and oxygen vacancies in these microstructural inhomogeneities developed continuously with increasing Gd concentration. This microstructural evolution can be further described based on the development of defect clusters containing Gd cations and oxygen vacancies.
