First, Ti6Al4V alloy samples were modified by tantalum ion implantation at a dose of 1.5×1017ions/cm2, and then silver ion at a dose of 1×1017ions/cm2. Glancing angle X-ray diffraction analysis was used to characterize the phase composition of un-implanted Ti6Al4V alloy and Ta+Ag dual-ion-implanted Ti6Al4V alloy samples. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis was used to investigate the chemical states of the elements on the Ta+Ag dual-ion-implanted Ti6Al4V alloy sample’s surface. The results show that small amounts of Ta and Ag were present in their elementary forms, along with TiO2, Ta2O5, and TaOx.

Cr-N and Cu-Cr-N coatings with Cu content between 3–65 at.%, Cu/Cr ratios in the 0.04–4.5 range and 21–27 at.% N, synthesized by twin e-beam Physical Vapor Deposition (EBPVD) at 450°C, were investigated. Using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), glancing angle X-ray diffraction (GAXRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), in combination with nanoindentation mechanical property measurements and laboratory controlled ball-on-disc sliding experiments, it is shown that Cu-Cr-N coatings with low Cu content (3 at.%) possess sufficient wear resistance for high temperature demanding tribological applications.

A simple and convenient solvothermal reaction has been developed to produce CuInS2 nanorods and nanotubes from the elements in ethylenediamine at 280 °C. The products were characterized by x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Analysis shows that the coordinating ability of ethylenediamine and the existence of liquid In may play important roles in the growth of one-dimension nanocrystallites and the electron-transfer reaction. In addition, spherical CuInS2 micrometer particles were obtained at 350 °C.

<abstract> <p>To imitate the superior biocompatibility of Ti–Zr alloys at reduced cost, conventional Ti6Al4V alloy was modified via plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO). The influence of different additives on the phase composition and topography was investigated in acidic electrolytes containing Zr(SO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>·H<sub>2</sub>O with potentiostatically controlled PEO at different pulse frequencies. Apart from the primary intention to generate Zr enriched phases, formation and incorporation in the ceramic layer of potential antibacterial Cu and Zn species was achieved and examined by X-ray diffraction. The thickness of the oxide layer, the adhesion and the layers' composition were evaluated using FIB and SEM-EDX.</p> </abstract>

Abstract A set of novel biocompatible aliphatic-aromatic nanocomposites, including numerous acrylic acid-grafted poly(butylene carbonate-co-terephthalate) (g-PBCT) and organically-modified layered zinc phenylphosphonate (m-PPZn), were successfully synthesized via polycondensation and transesterification. A primary covalent linkage was produced between the biocompatible polymer and the inorganic reinforcements. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance spectra demonstrated the successful grafting of acrylic acid into the PBCT (g-PBCT). Both wide-angle X-ray diffraction data and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis showed that the g-PBCT polymer matrix was intercalated into the interlayer spacing of the m-PPZn and was chemically interacted with the m-PPZn. The addition of m-PPZn in the g-PBCT matrix significantly improved its storage modulus. A slight increase in thermal stability was observed in all the g-PBCT/m-PPZn composites. Both results are attributed to the presence of covalent bond between g-PBCT and m-PPZn.

Boron carbide is one of the most important non-metallic materials. Amorphous BCx films were synthesized at room temperature by single- and dual-target magnetron sputtering processes. A B4C target and C target were operated using an RF signal and a DC signal, respectively. The effect of using single- and dual-target deposition and process parameters on the chemical bonding and composition of the films as well as their functional properties were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray energy dispersive analysis, X-ray diffraction, ellipsometry, and spectrophotometry. It was found that the film properties depend on the sputtering power and the used targets. EDX data show that the composition of the samples varied from B2C to practically BC2 in the case of using an additional C target. According to the XPS data, it corresponds to the different chemical states of the boron atom. A nanoindentation study showed that the film with a composition close to B2C deposited with the highest B4C target power reached a hardness of 25 GPa and Young’s modulus of 230 GPa. The optical properties of the films also depend on the composition, so the band gap (Eg) of the BCx film varied in the range of 2.1–2.8 eV, while the Eg of the carbon-rich films decreased to 1.1 eV.

The phase composition of the oxide films on the surface of the Fe-Cr-Al system coatings is studied using glancing angle X-ray diffraction. It is shown that at 900 °С the formed oxide films consist of αAlO and (FeCr)O, to which FeAlO oxide is added during long-term exposure. An increase in temperature to 1100 °C intensifies the growth of oxide films, and an increase in the aluminum content ensures a stable growth of αAlO and FeAlO oxides. When the aluminum content in the coating is more than 10 at. % at large exposure times, metastable alumina δAlO is formed, the formation of which is associated with a decrease in the concentration of chromium in thin surface layers.

The processes of the formation of the nanocomposite coating of Ni–11.5% P–5%W were studied during the heat treatment of amorphous electrodeposited layers. Using the method of differential scanning calorimetry, the temperature of the onset of crystallization of the nanocrystalline phase Ni3P was determined. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that heat treatment produces Ni3P phosphides and, presumably, Ni5P2, the size of which, according to electron microscopy, is 5–50 nm. The influence of the duration of heat treatment on the phase composition and microhardness of coatings is investigated.

Studies on the transformation of calcium sulphate dihydrate to hemihydrate in the wet process phosphoric acid production The influence of the process temperature from 85°C to 95°C, the content of phosphates and sulphates in the wet process phosphoric acid (about 22-36 wt% P2O5 and about 2-9 wt% SO42-) and the addition of αCaSO4·0.5H2O crystallization nuclei (from 10% to 50% in relation to CaSO4·2H2O) on the transformation of calcium sulphate dihydrate to hemihydrate has been determined. The wet process phosphoric acid and phosphogypsum from the industrial plant was utilized. They were produced by reacting sulphuric acid with phosphate rock (Tunisia) in the DH-process. The X-ray diffraction analysis was used to determine the phase composition and fractions of various forms of calcium sulphates in the samples and the degree of conversion of CaSO4·2H2O to αCaSO4·0.5H2O and CaSO4. It was found that the transformation of CaSO4·2H2O to αCaSO4·0.5H2O should be carried out in the presence of αCaSO4·0.5H2O crystallization nuclei as an additive (in the amount of 20% in relation to CaSO4·2H2O), at temperatures 90±2°C, in the wet process phosphoric acid containing the sulphates and phosphates in the range of 4±1 wt% and 27±1 wt%, respectively.

ABSTRACTThe phase composition of Y-TZP surfaces has been shown to vary greatly depending on the thermo-mechanical history of the surface. The orientation of these different phases in the surface region is not always random. There is speculation that the alignment of the tetragonal phase before fracturing may play a part in increasing the toughness of these materials. This article deals with an X-ray diffraction analysis of various Y-TZP surfaces with special emphasis on the texture of the different phases. Surfaces which have been ground (and polished), fractured, and aged (200°C) have been examined. In all cases, the monoclinic component that was formed was strongly oriented. The tetragonal phase may or may not be oriented depending on surface treatment. Annealing above the monoclinic-tetragonal transition temperature had little effect on the tetragonal orientation in most cases. Samples fractured at 1000°C have no unusual orientation on the fracture faces.
