The oxidation and hardness of thermally exposed titanium (Ti) prepared using inductive sintering-assisted powder metallurgy was evaluated through cyclic tests in air at 700–900 °C for 100 h (5 cycles). In general, the oxidation kinetics of the Ti samples followed the parabolic law and their oxidation rates increased with increasing oxidation temperatures. The rutile form of titanium dioxide (TiO2) was detected by X-ray diffraction in the oxide scales after oxidation at 700 °C and 900 °C. Furthermore, the TiO2 grain size and thickness were significantly influenced by an increase in the oxidation temperature. Lastly, the formation of rutile as a single-phase on the surface of oxidized Ti enhanced the hardness of the oxide scales, whereas the substrate had lower hardness values than the oxide scales due to diffusion of Ti atoms at the surface to form the TiO2 oxide scales.

AbstractDense (Hf, Ta, Nb, Ti, V)C- and (Ta, Nb, Ti, V, W)C-based high-entropy carbides (HEC) were produced by three different sintering techniques: gas pressure sintering/sinter–HIP at 1900 °C and 100 bar Ar, vacuum sintering at 2250 °C and 0.001 bar as well as SPS/FAST at 2000 °C and 60 MPa pressure. The relative density varied from 97.9 to 100%, with SPS producing 100% dense samples with both compositions. Grain size measurements showed that the substitution of Hf with W leads to an increase in the mean grain size of 5–10 times the size of the (Hf, Ta, Nb, Ti, V,)C samples. Vacuum-sintered samples showed uniform grain size distribution regardless of composition. EDS mapping revealed the formation of a solid solution with no intermetallic phases or element clustering. X-ray diffraction analysis showed the structure of mostly single-phase cubic high-entropy carbides. Hardness measurements revealed that (Hf, Ta, Nb, Ti, V)C samples possess higher hardness values than (Ta, Nb, Ti, V, W)C samples.

The oxidation behavior of Fe-20Ni alloy under compressive stress in air was studied at 800, 900 °C. The results examined by using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicates that the oxide scales were consisted of an external scale and a subscale which has an intragranular scale (above 5 h at 800 °C and 900 °C) and an intergranular scale. Compared with the unstressed specimen, the growth kinetics of external scale was accelerated by an applied compressive stress. Besides, the compressive stress induced an increase in the growths of intragranular scale and intergranular scale formed on the specimens oxidized at 900 °C. However, the effect of compressive stress on the growth of intergranular scale and intragranular scale was not obvious in the case of 800°C. In addition, cracks developed in the subscale for the specimens oxidized under 2.5 MPa compressive stress when the oxidation time exceeded 20 h.

The Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) especially Aluminum based systems have unique advantages of having superior mechanical, chemical and electrical properties, in addition to light weight and high stiffness. In this work, composites comprising of Aluminum with varied concentrations of Cenospheres as reinforcement was produced by Powder Metallurgy (PM) route. The densification of the composites was effected both by conventional and Microwave (MW) sintering techniques. The microstructures of the sintered samples were observed through scanning electron microscope (SEM) and phases by x ray diffraction technique (XRD), followed by evaluation of tribological parameter namely slide wear behavior and solid particle erosion resistance. The densities and the Brinell hardness values for the samples were also evaluated. The results showed that microwave sintered samples exhibited higher hardness, lower erosion and slide wear loss.

ABSTRACTWeight recording using a thermobalance type Cahn TG-171 has been applied to study Hot, Filament Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (HFCVD) of carbon films from methane. Changes in the deposition rates during each individual process may indicate four stages of the deposition kinetics: 1- generation of nuclei (slow, linear); 2- growth on nuclei (exponential increase); 3- aggregation of crystals (slowing); 4- growth on the surface of diamond film, completely covering the substrate (linear). An attempt to determine the concentration of graphite in the deposited layer, based on differences in oxidation rates of diamond and graphite has been proposed, as supplementary to X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy.

The isothermal oxidation behavior of Zr2Al3C4 in the temperature range of 500 to 1000 °C for 20 h in air has been investigated. The oxidation kinetics follow a parabolic law at 600 to 800 °C and a linear law at higher temperatures. The activation energy is determined to be 167.4 and 201.2 kJ/mol at parabolic and linear stages, respectively. The oxide scales have a monolayer structure, which is a mixture of ZrO2 and Al2O3. As indicated by x-ray diffraction and Raman spectra, the scales formed at 500 to 700 °C are amorphous, and at higher temperatures are α-Al2O3 and t-ZrO2 nanocrystallites. The nonselective oxidation of Zr2Al3C4 can be attributed to the strong coupling between Al3C2 units and ZrC blocks in its structure, and the close oxygen affinity of Zr and Al.

The reaction kinetics for the formation of mullite (3Al2O3 · 2SiO2) from sol-gel derived precursors were studied using dynamic x-ray diffraction (DXRD) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The reaction kinetics of diphasic and single phase gels are compared and different reaction mechanisms are found for each gel. Mullite formation in the diphasic gel exhibits an Avrami type, diffusion-controlled growth mechanism with initial mullite formation temperatures of about 1250 °C and an activation energy on the order 103 kJ/mole. On the other hand, mullite formation from the single phase gel is a nucleation-controlled process with an initial formation temperature of 940 °C and a much lower activation energy of about 300 kJ/mole.

The evolution of phase composition and growth stresses in oxide scales growing on the polycrystalline Fe-15at.%Al alloy at 700°C in air was studied by in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The oxidation kinetics was determined by thermogravimetry. The results showed that, under these conditions, metastable -Al2O3 appears only during the first minutes of oxidation and the main oxides formed since the early oxidation are -Al2O3 and -Fe2O3. High volume fractions of -Fe2O3 caused accelerated oxidation rates in the first hours. -Al2O3 and -Fe2O3 grow epitaxially, evolving compressive and tensile growth stresses, respectively.

Ti (C,N)-based cermets with varying WC additions (Ti (C0.6N0.4)-36Ni-12Mo-1C-xWC, x = 0, 3, 6 and 9 wt%) were prepared by conventional powder metallurgy techniques. The microstructure and mechanical properties of all four Ti (C,N)-based cermets were investigated. Isothermal oxidation of all four cermets were also investigated in air at 800°C up to 100 h using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The grains of Ti (C,N)-based cermets became more homogeneous with the increase of WC content. The TRS and fracture toughness increased with the increase of WC content and then decreased when WC content exceeded 6wt%, but hardness decreased continuously with the increase of WC content. The oxide scales formed on the surface of all four samples during the oxidation process were porous and multi-layered, consisting of NiO outerlayer and TiO2 based innerlayer, respectively. The thickness of the oxide scales and oxidation rates increased with the increase of WC content, especially when the content of WC addition reached 9wt%. The cermet with 6wt% WC addition showed excellent mechanical properties and acceptable high temperature oxidation resistance.

In the present study, the isothermal early oxidation behaviour of the WE54 and Elektron 21 alloys were studied at a temperature of 773 K in pure O2 up to 150 min. The results showed that the oxidation kinetics depending on the chemical composition and microstructure of the investigated alloys. The oxidation kinetics of these alloys in as-cast and T6 conditions obtained a parabolic law, while in supersaturated state these alloys exhibited a linear kinetics. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses indicated that an oxide film, composed of MgO and (Y,Dy)2O3 in WE54 alloy and (Nd,Gd)2O3 in Elektron 21 alloy, had been formed.

We are investigating by Raman microprobe measurements the superconducting and related phases in the LnBa2Cu3O7-x (for x=0 to 1) system where yttrium has been replaced by several of the lanthanide (Ln = Nd,Sm,Eu,Ho,Er) elements. The aim is to relate the observed optical spectra (Raman and fluorescence) to the compositional and structural properties of these solids as part of comprehensive materials characterization. The results are correlated with the methods of synthesis, the processing techniques of these materials, and their superconducting properties. Of relevance is the substitutional chemistry of these isostructural systems, the differences in the spectra, and their microanalytical usefulness for the detection of impurity phases, and the assessment of compositional homogeneity. The Raman spectra of most of these compounds are well understood from accounts in the literature.The materials examined here are mostly ceramic powders prepared by conventional solid state reaction techniques. The bulk samples are of nominally single-phase composition as determined by x-ray diffraction.
