The interaction between the Ti6Al4V alloy and the mould materials was investigated. The alpha-case was characterized by Vickers hardness tester, optical and scanning electron microscopy equipped with electron dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX). X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was performed on as cast and on YFSZ or YZ-Blended face-coats. From the experimental results, a distinct alpha-case formation was revealed. The YFSZ led to a thicker and harder alpha-case than the YZ-Blended face-coat. The EDX revealed the presence of Zr and Si elements in both alpha-cases. Therefore, from experimental results and thermodynamic calculations, pure ZrO2and SiO2may react with Ti.

We present a study of the effect of graphene–PANI nanocomposites on the sensitivity of the urea and glucose multisensory. We used an electroctrochemical multisensor based on two electrodes located in a reservoir with two separate channels. The urease and glu-cose oxidase (GOD) were employed for detecting the urea and glucose, respectively. We characterized the graphene and graphene-PANI samples with X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations. We further performed the Cyclic voltammetry and Amperometry tests. The collected experimental results revealed that the intensity of the peak significantly increases with the concentration of the urea and glucose.

Precursor powder of calcia-stabilized zirconia (CSZ) with 4, 7 and 15 wt % was synthesized by mechanical alloying (MA) in cryogenic conditions. The phase evolution of the precursor powders over 100 hours of MA was analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction technique. Cylindrical shaped sensor elements of the calcined powders were fabricated in a uniaxial press followed by sintering at 15000C for 3 hours. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to analyze the microstructure of the sintered pellets. The co-relation between material compositions, microstructure of the sinter pellets and the electrical properties of the sensors are discussed.

The effect of Nb content on microstructure, mechanical properties and phase formation in as-melt and annealed binary Ti-Nb alloys were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The content of Nb varied in the range 25-35 mass % leading to significant changes in the microstructure. The annealed and furnace-cooled binary Ti-Nb samples exhibited HCP martensitic α` phase at a Nb content below 27.5 mass % and metastable BCC β phase at higher contents of Nb. The mechanical properties of alloys depended strongly on the Nb content and type of the dominating phase.

The influence of Silica fume/Nanosilica on the Performance of phosphoaluminate cement was studied in the paper. The microstructure and morphology was determined by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The experimental results show that the phosphoaluminate cement with 4% of added Silica fume/Nanosilica(1:1) by weight of cement has an optimum splitting strength, in which the increase of splitting strength are about 15.1%,11.8% and 24.6% at 3days,7days and 28 days. The reason for causing the above results are the hydration rate and the amount of the hydrates of PALC with 4% Silica fume/Nanosilica have been increased significantly at different hydration time because of the role played by Silica fume and Nanosilica together.

In this paper, we studied the effect of preparation on standard dry density and strength of foamed cement by orthogonal test. The results indicate that the more excellent combination is A1B1C1, namely G1, the standard dry density is 376 kg/m3, the flexural and compressive strengths are 0.43 MPa and 0.8 MPa respectively, and the thermal conductivity is 0.074 W/(m·K), which conforms to the characteristics of light weight and high strength. Fewer Ca (OH)2 crystals and more C-S-H gel generated in G1 through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis is the reason for its high strength.

In this paper, a facile method was presented to fabricate CuS porous microspheres, which were formed by the intergrowth of CuS polycrystalline nanoslices. The obtained sample has been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electronic diffraction (SAED), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). On the basis of the experimental results, we proposed a self-assemble mechanism to elucidate the formation of CuS nanoslice structure.

The effect of Nb content on microstructure, mechanical properties and phase formation in annealed and quenched binary Ti-Nb alloys were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The content of Nb varied in the range 0-37 mass % leading to significant changes in the microstructure. The annealed and furnace-cooled binary Ti-Nb samples exhibited HCP martensitic α` phase at a Nb content below 14 mass % and stable BCC β phase at higher contents of Nb. The structure of the quenched samples changed with increase of Nb content in the following order: coarse primary martensite → fine acicular (α`+α``) martensite → single β phase structure. The mechanical properties of alloys strongly depended on the Nb content and type of the dominating phase.

Ni-Mo alloys have been studied as a prospected cathode for its higher hydrogen evolution reaction properties than other binary compounds. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) microstructures show that the amorphous/nanocrystal Ni-Mo deposits were deposited. The Ni-Mo deposits cathode are electrolyzed in 25°C, 7 mol/L NaOH electrolytic solution. And when η100, the amorphous/nanocrystal Ni-Mo alloy with a lower hydrogen evolution overpotential, a higher exchange current density, and a better electrolytic stability is lower than amorphous Ni-Mo deposits. This is due to the amorphous content combined with nanocrystalline structure, lager contact surface and binding energy of Ni-Mo structure.

Highly Ordered arrays of TiO2 nanotubes on Ti wire were prepared by anodic oxidation with ethylene glycol solution of NH4F electrolyte. The phase compositions of the samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis using Cu-Kα radiation. The microstructure was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Experimental results show that at the anode condition of 95V, 50°C, and then themal treatment at 550°C, the highly ordered anatase TiO2 nanotubes arrays arranged on the surface of Ti wire. The length of the nanotube achieved was about 31μm, the internal diameter and outer diameter of the nanotube was 127nm and 170nm, respectively.

TiO2 nanotubes arrays were prepared by anodization of Ti in EG containing H3PO4 and NH4F electrolyte. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and photoluminescence spectra (PL). The as-anodized TiO2 nanotubes were annealed in inert (argon), reducing (nitrogen), or oxidizing (oxygen) atmosphere at 400 °C for 4 hr. XRD analysis revealed that the TiO2 nanotubes were anatase after annealing. In this study, the TiO2 nanotubes annealed in argon exhibited the highest degradation rate of methyl orange (MO) solution under ultraviolet irradiation among the samples. The degradation rate was approximately 98% after 5h, which may be ascribed to the large amount of oxygen vacancies and defects (phosphorus) within the Ar - TiO2 sample that simultaneously increased the degradation rate of MO.
