The study of the kinetics of martensitic phase decomposition in the Cu-10wt.%Al alloy with Ag additions showed that the presence of Ag retarded the eutectoid decomposition reaction and enhanced martensite stabilization. This stabilization effect was attributed to Ag atoms redistribution as structure defects, increase in the numbers of Cu-Al pairs due to Ag-Al interaction and the Al atoms redistribution around one Cu atom at the sub-lattice of the martensitic crystal.

Определены формально-кинетические характеристики термораспада нитро-нитрозоаминов и их смесей с октогеном. Реакция разложения нитрозоаналогов октогена и нитро-нитрозопроизводных тетраазадекалина характеризуется меньшей энергией активации по сравнению с октогеном, и протекает с большей скоростью. Проведен анализ активационных параметров термораспада смесей, установлено активирующее влияние нитрозопроизводных тетраазадекалина на разложение октогена. The formal-kinetic characteristics of the thermal decomposition of nitro-nitrosoamines and their mixtures with HMX have been determined. The decomposition reaction of nitroso analogs of HMX and nitro-nitroso derivatives of tetraazadecalin is characterized by a lower activation energy compared to HMX, and proceeds at a higher rate. The analysis of the activation parameters of the thermal decomposition of the mixtures was carried out, the activating effect of the nitroso derivatives of tetraazadecalin on the decomposition of HMX was established.

The electron irradiation of silicate glasses containing metal cations produces various types of phase separation and decomposition which includes oxygen bubble formation at intermediate temperatures figure I. The kinetics of bubble formation are too rapid to be accounted for by oxygen diffusion but the behavior is consistent with a cation diffusion mechanism if the amount of oxygen in the bubble is not significantly different from that in the same volume of silicate glass. The formation of oxygen bubbles is often accompanied by precipitation of crystalline phases and/or amorphous phase decomposition in the regions between the bubbles and the detection of differences in oxygen concentration between the bubble and matrix by electron energy loss spectroscopy cannot be discerned (figure 2) even when the bubble occupies the majority of the foil depth.The oxygen bubbles are stable, even in the thin foils, months after irradiation and if van der Waals behavior of the interior gas is assumed an oxygen pressure of about 4000 atmospheres must be sustained for a 100 bubble if the surface tension with the glass matrix is to balance against it at intermediate temperatures.

The influence of the Al content on the phase transformations in Cu-Al-Ag alloys was studied by classical differential thermal analysis (DTA), optical microscopy (OM) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The results indicated that the increase in the Al content and the presence of Ag decrease the rate of the <FONT FACE=Symbol>b</font>1 phase decomposition reaction and contribute for the raise of this transition temperature, thus decreasing the stability range of the perlitic phase resulted from the b1 decomposition reaction.

Preparation of di-imide by passing hydrazine vapor through a microwave discharge yields mixtures with NH3 containing typically about 15% N2H2, estimated from the gases evolved on decomposition. The behavior of the mixture (which melts at −65 °C) on warming from −196 to −30 °C suggests a strong interaction between the components. Measurements of magnetic susceptibility and e.p.r. experiments showed that N2H2 is not strongly paramagnetic, which with other observations points to a singlet rather than a triplet ground-state.Di-imide can be vaporized efficiently, together with NH3, by rapid warming, and the vapor is surprisingly long-lived, with a typical half-life of several minutes at room temperature. The near-u.v. (3200–4400 Å) absorption spectrum of the vapor was photographed; it shows well-defined but diffuse bands, with εmax = 6(± 3) at 3450 Å.Di-imide decomposes at room temperature in two ways:[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]Formation of NH3 was not observed but cannot be ruled out. The decomposition of the vapor is complicated by a sizeable and variable decomposition that occurs rapidly during the vaporization. The stoichiometry of this and the vapor-phase decomposition depends on total pressure and di-imide concentration. The kinetics of the decomposition of the vapor were studied from 22 to 200 °C by following the disappearance of N2H2 by absorption of light at 3450 Å, or the formation of N2H4 by absorption at 2400 Å, and by mass spectrometry. The kinetics are complex and can be either first- or second-order, or mixed, depending on surface conditions. The effect of olefin additives on the decomposition was studied, and is also complex.Mechanisms for the decomposition are discussed, including the possible role of trans-cis isomerization. The relatively long lifetime found for di-imide in the gas phase suggests that it may be an important intermediate in many reactions of hydronitrogen systems.

The thermal analyses, thermogravimetry (TG), and differential thermal analysis (DTA) of PbOHCl, PbOHBr, and PbOHI reveal that the initial mode of decomposition is via dehydroxylation. Calorimetric measurements along with related enthalpy values for the decomposition reaction are given.The infrared spectra of these compounds are interpreted in terms of folded bands of (PbOH+)n tied together by halide ions consistent with their crystal structures.The kinetics of thermal decomposition of lead hydroxyhalides follow a diffusion-type rate equation which is in contrast to the simple first-order rate equation observed for most Cd, Zn, and Cu compounds. These two distinct rates are interpreted in terms of mobile OH or H species in the dehydroxylation step.

Reverse transformation has been frequently used to refine austenite grain size for refining ferrite, pearlite and martensite structures. However, kinetics and microstructure change during reverse transformation to austenite has not been examined systematically compared with the austenite decomposition reaction. Therefore, alloying effects of 1mass% Mn, Si and Cr on reverse transformation kinetics from pearlite and tempered martensite structures in Fe-0.6mass%C alloys were investigated in this study. Vickers hardness of all the specimens increases with increasing holding time at 1073K because reversely-formed austenite transforms to martensite by quenching. In the reverse transformation from pearlite structure, the kinetics of reverse transformation is hardly changed by the Mn addition while Si and Cr additions delay it. Kinetics of reverse transformation from tempered martensite structure becomes slower than from the pearlite structure in all the alloys. In particular, retarding effect by the Cr addition is most significant among those elements.
