The study of diffusion processes in the aluminum - copper system was carried out at the temperature 350 and 520 °C. Special attention was paid on the chemical composition of the system near Al/Cu interface. It was determined that the intermediate phases in the system, corresponding to the equilibrium phase diagram, were not formed at low temperature. At high temperature the intermediate phases forms starting with Cu - rich phases. In both cases supersaturated solid solution of copper in aluminum could be observed near the interface.

We combine theoretical and experimental tools to study elastic properties of Fe-Al-Ti superalloys. Focusing on samples with chemical composition Fe71Al22Ti7, we use transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to detect their two-phase superalloy nano-structure (consisting of cuboids embedded into a matrix). The chemical composition of both phases, Fe66.2Al23.3Ti10.5 for cuboids and Fe81Al19 (with about 1% or less of Ti) for the matrix, was determined from an Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. The phase of cuboids is found to be a rather strongly off-stoichiometric (Fe-rich and Ti-poor) variant of Heusler Fe2TiAl intermetallic compound with the L21 structure. The phase of the matrix is a solid solution of Al atoms in a ferromagnetic body-centered cubic (bcc) Fe. Quantum-mechanical calculations were employed to obtain an insight into elastic properties of the two phases. Three distributions of chemical species were simulated for the phase of cuboids (A2, B2 and L21) in order to determine a sublattice preference of the excess Fe atoms. The lowest formation energy was obtained when the excess Fe atoms form a solid solution with the Ti atoms at the Ti-sublattice within the Heusler L21 phase (L21 variant). Similarly, three configurations of Al atoms in the phase of the matrix with different level of order (A2, B2 and D03) were simulated. The computed formation energy is the lowest when all the 1st and 2nd nearest-neighbor Al-Al pairs are eliminated (the D03 variant). Next, the elastic tensors of all phases were calculated. The maximum Young’s modulus is found to increase with increasing chemical order. Further we simulated an anti-phase boundary (APB) in the L21 phase of cuboids and observed an elastic softening (as another effect of the APB, we also predict a significant increase of the total magnetic moment by 140% when compared with the APB-free material). Finally, to validate these predicted trends, a nano-scale dynamical mechanical analysis (nanoDMA) was used to probe elasticity of phases. Consistent with the prediction, the cuboids were found stiffer.

AbstractGanophyllite from Franklin, New Jersey, Pajsberg, Sweden, and the Benallt Mine, Wales, has been chemically reinvestigated. Twelve new analyses confirm the general structure of Kato (1980) and yield the tentative formula (K,Na,Ca)2Mn8(Si,Al)12(O,OH)32(OH)4·8H2O. There is little solid solution among octahedral cations, and the Si:Al ratio is nearly constant at 10:2. Ca and (Na + K) are apparently differentiated, but all examined ganophyllites are K-rich. Much of the water content is loosely bound and the upper limit of water content is not well defined. Ganophyllite is relatively invariant in chemical composition from locality to locality.

Abstract The sinters of co-doped ceria solid solutions with the formula of Ce0.85Sm0.15-x RxO1.9, where R = Y, Gd, Pr, Tb, Ox-0.15, were obtained from powders synthesised by Pechini method. The linear variation of cell parameter a vs. chemical composition was observed for Ce0.85Sm0:15-xRxO1.9, where R = Y, Gd, Tb, 0 <x<0.15 samples. However, the introduction of Pr3+ into Ce0.85Sm0.15-x PrxO1.9 caused a small deviation from linearity due to possible changes in the valence from Pr3+ to Pr4+. The determined values of oxide transference number tion for Ce0.85Sm0.15-xRxO1.9, R = Y, Gd in the temperature range 400-750°C and partial oxygen pressure from 10-6 to 1 atm were close to 1, which indicated that materials investigated exhibited practically pure ionic oxide conductivity. On the other hand, the introduction of Tb3+ or Pr3+ higher than x>0.05 into solid solution Ce0.85Sm0.15-xRxO1.9, R = Tb, Pr caused a decrease in the ionic transference number tion below 1 due to an increase in partial electronic conduction. This fact limiting investigated co-doped terbia and samaria or samaria and praseodymia ceria-based solid solutions for the further application as oxide electrolytes in solid oxide fuel cells. The analysis of bulk and grain boundary values indicated that partial substitution of Sm3+ by Y3+ or Gd3+ caused slight improvements in the ionic conductivity of Ce0.85Sm0.15-xRxO1.9. The highest ionic conductivity was found for solid solution with chemical composition Ce0.85Sm0.1Y0.05O1.9. The selected co-doped ceria samples were tested as solid electrolytes in solid oxide fuel cells operating in the intermediate temperature range 500-750°C.

We studied the effect of the addition of Hf, Sn, or Ta on the density, macrosegregation, microstructure, hardness and oxidation of three refractory metal intermetallic composites based on Nb (RM(Nb)ICs) that were also complex concentrated alloys (i.e., RM(Nb)ICs/RCCAs), namely, the alloys TT5, TT6, and TT7, which had the nominal compositions (at.%) Nb-24Ti-18Si-5Al-5B-5Cr-6Ta, Nb-24Ti-18Si-4Al-6B-5Cr-4Sn and Nb-24Ti-17Si-5Al-6B-5Cr-5Hf, respectively. The alloys were compared with B containing and B free RM(Nb)ICs. The macrosegregation of B, Ti, and Si was reduced with the addition, respectively of Hf, Sn or Ta, Sn or Ta, and Hf or Sn. All three alloys had densities less than 7 g/cm3. The alloy TT6 had the highest specific strength in the as cast and heat-treated conditions, which was also higher than that of RCCAs and refractory metal high entropy alloys (RHEAs). The bcc solid solution Nbss and the tetragonal T2 and hexagonal D88 silicides were stable in the alloys TT5 and TT7, whereas in TT6 the stable phases were the A15-Nb3Sn and the T2 and D88 silicides. All three alloys did not pest at 800 °C, where only the scale that was formed on TT5 spalled off. At 1200 °C, the scale of TT5 spalled off, but not the scales of TT6 and TT7. Compared with the B free alloys, the synergy of B with Ta was the least effective regarding oxidation at 800 and 1200 °C. Macrosegregation of solutes, the chemical composition of phases, the hardness of the Nbss and the alloys, and the oxidation of the alloys at 800 and 1200 °C were considered from the perspective of the Niobium Intermetallic Composite Elaboration (NICE) alloy design methodology. Relationships between properties and the parameters VEC, δ, and Δχ of alloy or phase and between parameters were discussed. The trends of parameters and the location of alloys and phases in parameter maps were in agreement with NICE.

We studied the microstructures and isothermal oxidation of the Nb-silicide-based alloys Nb-11.5Ti-18Si-5Mo-2W-4.9Sn-4.6Ge-4.5Cr-4.7Al-1Hf (JZ4) and Nb-21Ti-18Si-6.7Mo-1.2W-4.4Sn-4.2Ge-4Cr-3.7Al-0.8Hf (JZ5), calculated their average creep rate for the creep goal conditions of T = 1200 °C and σ = 170 MPa, and compared properties of the two alloys with those of other refractory metal (RM) complex concentrated alloys (RCCAs). Both alloys had a density less than 7.3 g/cm3 and lower than the density of multiphase bcc solid solution + M5Si3 silicide RCCAs. There was macrosegregation of Si in both alloys, which had the same phases in their as-cast microstructures, namely βNb5Si3, αNb5Si3, A15-Nb3X (X = Al, Ge, Si, Sn), TM5Sn2X (X = Al, Ge, Si), C14-Cr2Nb, but no solid solution. After heat treatment at 1500 °C for 100 h, a low volume fraction of a W-rich (Nb, W)ss solid solution was observed in both alloys together with βNb5Si3, αNb5Si3 and A15-Nb3X but not the TM5Sn2X, whereas the Laves phase was observed only in JZ4. At 800 °C, both alloys did not pest, and there was no spallation of their scales at 1200 °C. At both temperatures, both alloys followed parabolic oxidation kinetics and their weight changes were lower than those of Ti-rich Nb-silicide-based alloys. The oxidation of both alloys was superior to that of other RCCAs studied to date. For each alloy the Si macrosegregation, volume fraction of solid solution, chemical composition of solid solution and Nb5Si3, and weight changes in isothermal oxidation at 800 and 1200 °C that were calculated using the alloy design methodology NICE agreed well with the experimental results.

The surface of AZ31 magnesium substrate is coated by Zn-Al alloys using cast-penetrated cladding. The transverse section of alloy cladding is composed of cladding zone, diffusional zone, and bonding zone. The microstructure evolution, phase constitution, and chemical composition of the transition layer are studied. The experimental results exhibit cladding zone contained dendrite matrix and interdendritic eutectic structures. The plume eutectic structure and columnar eutectic structure are formed in diffusional zone and bonding zone, respectively. Zn and Al solid solutions gradually decrease and disappear owing to the diffusion of magnesium atom and the changes of magnesium element concentration. Mg7Zn3 phases are generated rapidly due to the interdiffusion of zinc and magnesium atoms rapidly in the diffusional zone and bonding zone. As Mg-Zn eutectic phases hinder the movement of Mg and Al atoms, the Mg-Al intermetallic compounds are eliminated completely. The microstructure is transformed into Mg solid solution and Mg7Zn3 eutectic structure to combine with AZ31 base metal.
