Cr2AlC ceramics (Cr:Al:C =1:1.2:1 mol.%) were synthesized by powder metallurgical method in argon in the temperature range of 700 to1250°C using Cr, Al and graphite powders as the initial materials. The phase relationships during reaction in the ternary system Cr-Al-C were investigated. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). It was found that Cr9Al17, Al8Cr5 and Cr2Al intermediate phases were formed in turn with increase of temperature. Up to 1050°C, with consumption of Cr9Al17 and Al8Cr5 phases completely, the amount of Cr2Al increased significantly. Single phase Cr2AlC with small amount of Cr7C3 was produced until 1250°C. Combined with the results of differential thermal analysis (DTA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), it is revealed that Cr2AlC phase is formed by the reaction of Cr–Al intermetallic compounds, Cr, Al and graphite. In addition, the reaction equations of the process from 660 to1250°C were given.

Ti2SnC powders (Ti: Sn: C =2: 1.2: 1, mol.%) were synthesized by pressureless sintering in argon in the temperature range of 600 to 1050°C using Ti, Sn and graphite powders as the initial materials. The phase relationships during reaction in the ternary system Ti-Sn-C have been investigated. The products for identification and analysis were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The reaction path for the formation of Ti2SnC can be described in the following steps. Sn melted at 230°C, which provided a favorable liquid circumstance for the reactions between Ti and Sn to form Ti-Sn intermetallic compounds. Results showed that Ti6Sn5 and Ti5Sn3 intermediate phases were formed in turn with increase of temperature. Up to 1050°C, with consumption of Ti5Sn3 phases completely, the amount of Ti2SnC increased significantly. Single phase Ti2SnC with small amount of TiC was produced. Combined with the results of differential thermal analysis (DTA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), it is revealed that Ti2SnC phase is formed by the reaction of Ti–Sn intermetallic compounds, Ti and graphite. In addition, the reaction equations of the process from 230 to 1050°C were given.

A comparative dynamic x-ray diffraction (DXRD) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) study was performed in the investigation of mullite and spinel formation from slowly hydrolyzed single phase gels with Al/Si ratios ranging from 1/1 to 14/1. Both metastable tetragonal mullite and spinel were observed to form at temperatures <1000 °C in the gels with Al/Si ratios <8/1 and mullite transformed to the orthorhombic structure at ∼1250 °C. However, at higher Al/Si ratios, spinel was the only crystalline phase detected at <1000 °C and orthorhombic mullite formed directly at temperatures >1250 °C. As the Al/Si ratio increases, both the tetragonal mullite and spinel formation temperatures decrease while the orthorhombic mullite formation temperature increases. Based on the Al/Si composition where the formation extents of tetragonal mullite and spinel were maximum, their compositions are estimated to be 2Al2O3 · SiO2 and 6A12O3 · SiO2, respectively.

The isothermal section of the phase diagram of the ternary system Y–Fe–V at 773 K was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS) techniques. It consists of 9 single-phase regions, 16 two-phase regions and 8 three-phase regions. The ternary compound YFe12-xVx (1.5≤x≤2.7, space group I4/mmm) with Mn12Th-type structure was confirmed in this system. At 773 K, the maximum solid solubility of V in Fe, and YFe2, is about 23 at.%, and 3 at.%, respectively, Fe in V is about 22 at.%. And that of Y in Fe, FeV and V don′t exceed 1 at.%.

Sebuah penelitian tentang sistem dispersi padat dari asiklovir dengan poloxamer 188 telah dilakukan formulasi dengan pencampuran secara fisika dengan rasio 1 : 1, 1 : 3, 1 : 5 dan dispersi padat 1 : 1, 1 : 3, 1 : 5 dan penggilingan 1:1 sebagai pembanding. Dispersi padat dibuat menggunakan metode pencairan (fusi), yang digabung dengan poloxamer 188 pada hotplate kemudian asiklovir dimasukkan ke dalam hasil poloxamer 188 lalu di kocok hingga membentuk masa homogen. Semua formula yang terbentuk termasuk asiklovir poloxamer 188 murni dianalisis karakterisasinya dengan Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA), X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), dan Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), kemudian pengambilan dilakukan  (penentuan kadar) mengunakan spektrofotometer UV pada panjang gelombang 257,08 nm dan uji laju disolusi dengan aquadest bebas CO2 menggunakan metode dayung. Hasil pengambilan  (penentuan kadar) menunjukkan bahwa semua formula memenuhi persyaratan farmakope Amerika edisi 30 dan farmakope Indonesia edisi 4 yaitu 95-110%. Sedangkan hasil uji laju disolusi untuk campuran fisik 1: 1, dan dispersi padat 1: 1, dan penggilingan 1: 1 menunjukkan peningkatan yang nyata dibandingkan asiklovir murni. Hal ini juga dapat dilihat dari hasil perhitungan statistik  menggunakan analisis varian satu arah  SPSS 17.

Natural stones (limestones, granites, and marble) from mines located in northeastern Brazil were investigated to discover their potential for use in civil construction. The natural stones were characterized by chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, and optical microscopy. The physical-mechanical properties (apparent density, porosity, water absorption, compressive and flexural strength, impact, and abrasion) and chemical resistance properties were also evaluated. The results of the physical-mechanical analysis indicated that the natural stones investigated have the potential to be used in different environments (interior, exterior), taking into account factors such as people’s circulation and exposure to chemical agents.

ABSTRACTNineteen roman ceramic sherds found near Salobreña (Granada, Spain), in the western coast of the Mediterranean Sea, as well as different ceramic clays from the surroundingsare studied. Both clays and ceramic sherds are characterizad by X-ray diffraction and spectrometry, differential thermal analysis, and scanning electron and optical microscopies. A good number of the ceramic pieces, among which some “Terrae Sigillatae”, have a composition similar to that of the local clays and, thus, have been probably manufactured at Salobreña. Only a few of them have a foreign origin. For most of them, the firing temperature was about 800-850 °C, although some have been produced at 900-1000 °C, and some others at 1000-1100 °C. It is concluded that Salobreña appearsto have been an important settlement just in the third century of the Christian era.

Abstract The influence of the refractory coating which is a mixture of silica flour and kaolin on the surface roughness of the plate castings produced using evaporative patterns had been considered in this work. The kaolin was used as a binder and ratio method was employed to form basis for the factorial design of experiment which led to nine runs of experiments. Methyl alcohol at 99% concentration was used as the carrier for the transfer of the coating to the surface of the patterns. Pouring temperature was observed as a process parameter alongside the mix ratios of the coating. Attempts were made to characterize the refractory coating by using two methods; differential thermal analysis (DTA) and X-ray diffraction. Attempt was also made to characterize the casting material. Gating system design was done for the plate casting to determine the correct proportions of the gating parameters in order to construct the gating system properly to avoid turbulence during pouring of liquid metal. A digital profilometer was used to take the measurements of the surface roughness. It was observed that the mix ratio 90% silica flour-10% kaolin produced the lowest value of the surface roughness of the plate castings and had the lowest material loss in the DTA test. The pouring temperature of 650°C produced best casting.

Differential thermal analysis and powder X-ray diffraction methods were used for phase equilibria studying in the Cu3AsSe4-GeSe2 system. It was established that wide (up to 30 mol.%) solid solutions based on Cu3AsSe4 are formed. GeSe2-rich alloys consist of various heterogeneous mixtures, including phases outside the T–x plane of this section
