The specimens were machined from DD6 single crystal superalloy blades with low angle boundary. The misorientation of LAB was measured with EBSD technique in scanning electron microscope. The microstructures of specimens with LAB were examined in optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. The formation mechanism of low angle boundary of DD6 single crystal superalloy blades was investigated. The results showed that he formation of LAB which is caused by the deviating orientation from ideal [001] and the angle between the crystal orientation and shell is crystal selection process acted by dendrite competitive growth rule. Part of dendrites have changed their growth orientation a little to the decreasing [001] orientation departure angle because of solidification condition fluctuating during dendrites branching process. The LAB is the obvious interface between the deforming dendrites and their surrounding dendrites.

The specimens of low angle boundaries were machined from the second generation single crystal superalloy DD6 blades. The microstructures of low angle boundaries (LAB) were investigated from three scales of dendrite, γ′ phase and atom with optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transition electron microscope (TEM) and high resolution transmission electrion microscopy (HREM). The results showed that on the dendrite scale LAB is interdendrite district formed by three dimensional curved face between the adjacent dendrites. On the γ′ phase scale LAB is composed by a thin layer γ phase and its bilateral imperfect cube γ′ phase. On the atom scale LAB is made up of dislocations within several atom thickness.

AbstractWe developed a new micro manipulator for mounting individual sub-micrometer sized single crystals within a scanning electron microscope. The translations are realized via a commercially available piezomicroscope, adapted for high vacuum usage and realize nanometer resolution. With this novel instrument it is routinely possible to mount individual single crystals with sizes down to 0.1

Effect of superheat and initial rolling temperature on the morphology and distribution of sulfide in non quenched and tempered free cutting steel 30MnVS has been studied by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. Results show that proper superheat and initial rolling temperature can turn rod-shaped sulfide into massive or globular sulfide，to alleviate sulfide segregation and pro-eutectoid ferrite distribution along the boundary of pearlite clusters in 30MnVS , increase the intragranular ferrite content and optimize the structure of continuous casting slab.

Premature fracture of an axle under torsional load occurred after a tracked military tank had experienced field testing for only 80 kilometers. Visual metallographic examinations were performed with optical microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The investigation demonstrates that the premature fracture is caused by metallurgical problems inside the axle where the primary and secondary cracks originate, propagate, and eventually result in final catastrophic rupture through torsional fatigue. The failure mechanism is summarized and improvement of the fatigue lifetime for the axle is recommended.

Effect of microstructure size and type on the hardness for the duplex steel were disclosed by using of optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and nanoindenter for the samples hot compressed under different temperature with reduction of 10%, 30%, 50% and 70%. OM and SEM were used to measure the average martensite lamellar width, space and indenter morphology. nanoindenter test characterized the microstructure hardness for the samples under different process. Experiment results show that martensite hardness for the sample hot compressed at 950°C has larger diversity than that of sample hot compressed at 1200°C. The martensite hardness fluctuation range for the sample compressed at 950°C is almost from about 7GPa to 12GPa, while, for the sample compressed at 1200°C, the fluctuation range is basically from about 9GPa to 12GPa. However, the average hardness for the samples hot compressed at 950°C is comparably smaller, which is related with lower quench temperature. The larger martensite hardness fluctuation is mainly related with induced ferrite formation and finer martensite lamellar width. For the ferrite phase, the hardness fluctuation range is lower.

In this paper we will describe the process of the deposition of thick layers of VPS-Ti coating, which is used as a bonding layer for the upper porous Ti coatings on implant substrates. In order to deposit the powder, we used HÖGANÄS Ti powder labelled as AMPERIT 154.086 -63 µm. In order to test the mechanical properties and microstructure of the VPS-Ti coating, the powder was deposited on Č.4171 (X15Cr13 EN10027) steel substrates. Mechanical tests of the microhardness of the coating were performed by the Vickers hardness test method (HV0.3) and tensile strength by measuring the force per unit area (MPa). The microhardness of the coating is 159 HV0.3, which is consistent with the microstructure. The coating was found to have a good bond strength of 68 MPa. The morphology of the powder particles was examined on a scanning electron microscope. The microstructure of the coating, both when deposited and etched, was examined with an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope. By etching the coating layers, it was found that the structure is homogeneous and that it consists of a mixture of low-temperature and high-temperature titanium phases (α-Ti + β-Ti). Our tests have shown that the deposited layers of Ti coating can be used as a bonding layer for porous Ti coatings in the production of implants.

The variety of instrumentation available to the researcher today can be overwhelming and confusing. Scanning Electron Microscopes (“SEM's) are no exception, and choosing one can often serve as an exercise in dealing with complexity. First time purchasers are most at risk, being subject to a barrage of information that attempts to sway the purchaser in one direction or the other. As a result, one can sometimes be drawn to the details of the latest “high end” performance parameter, while overlooking the basics. At its worst, the selection process can degrade to one of vague guesswork with little hard data to serve as a compass.By applying a methodical approach to define your individual requirements, carefully designed tests of actual instruments, and discussions with your collaborators, potential and experienced users, one can begin to ensure a successful selection process.

The monomolecular layer of water adsorbed on KBr particles is responsible for clouding of disks pressed from finely ground powder. Cloudiness is caused by formation of a multitude of cracks in the disk. The initial cracking can be observed with a low power optical microscope and the extensive cracking in the fully cloudy region is observable with a scanning electron microscope. It is suggested that adsorbed water promotes recrystallization, generating weak zones in the workhardened, elastically stressed disk which fails by cracking.

The effects of hot isostatic pressing on the microstructures of a third generation single crystal Ni-based superalloy DD10 were investigated by using optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron microprobe analyzer (EPMA). The results showed that the micropores in the interdendritic region were eliminated completely after hot isostatic pressing at 1320 and 150MPa. Meanwhile, the morphology of γ precipitates changed to be more cuboidal and the distribution of γ precipitates in both dendrite core and interdendritic region became more uniform after hot isostatic pressing. Hot isostatic pressing also promoted the homogenization of the composition between dendrite core and interdendritic region and the dendritic segregation of Re, W, Al and Ta was decreased.
