In the present work, a kinetic study based on a diffusion model was performed by use of both kinetics and thermodynamic data as input parameters, it was possible to evaluate the kinetic constant at each phase interface for a biphase configuration FeB and Fe2B grown over the surfaces of Armco Fe and Fe-Cr binary alloys at 0.5 and 4wt. %Cr by powder- pack boriding. The simulated values of the kinetics constants by the model were compared to those found in the literature and a good agreement was observed. For the Fe-4wt. %Cr alloy, it was found by simulation that the layer thickness ratio between the FeB and Fe2B phases is very sensitive to the increase of temperature and surface boron content.

A simulation of the growth kinetics of iron boride forming on AISI 1018 carbon steel was done on the basis of a kinetic model. This model including the effect of the incubation time during the formation of iron boride, was applied in order to evaluate the kinetic constant at the ( ) interface, the layer thickness and the mass gain depending on the paste-boriding parameters such as time, temperature and boron potential reflected by the corresponding value of the surface boron content. The simulation results were found to be in a good agreement with the experimental data derived from the literature.

The growth kinetics of allotriomorphic α along the prior β grain boundaries and of globular primary α in Ti-6Al-4V during continuous cooling is described. A physical model is developed based on classical nucleation and growth of platelets for the allotriomorphic α. The growth of the primary α is modelled based on the growth of spherical particle immerged on a supersaturated β-matrix. Continuous cooling tests at two different holding temperatures in the α+β field, 930°C and 960°C, and five different cooling rates, 10, 30, 40, 100 and 300°C/min, are conducted to validate the proposed models and elucidate the growth sequence of those α morphologies. Additionally, interrupted tests at different temperatures are conducted to determine the progress of growth of primary α and formation allotriomorphic α during cooling. The size of primary α increases while its size distribution broadens with a decrease in cooling rate. Area fractions of primary α decrease with increasing cooling rate and increasing holding temperature. Moreover, the lower the cooling rate, the thicker the plates of allotriomorphic α. At the beginning of the cooling, growth of primary α, as well as formation of allotriomorphic α plates is observed. The experimental and modelled results show good agreement.

Ordered-alpha titanium alloys having a DO19 type structure have good potential for high temperature (600°C) applications, due to the thermal stability of the ordered phase and the inherent resistance to recrystallization of these alloys. Five different Ti-Al-Ga alloys consisting of equal atomic percents of aluminum and gallium solute additions up to the stoichiometric composition, Ti3(Al, Ga), were used to study the growth kinetics of the ordered phase and the nature of its interface.The alloys were homogenized in the beta region in a vacuum of about 5×10-7 torr, furnace cooled; reheated in air to 50°C below the alpha transus for hot working. The alloys were subsequently acid cleaned, annealed in vacuo, and cold rolled to about. 050 inch prior to additional homogenization

AbstractColloidal chemistry techniques were used to synthesize ZnO particles in the nanometer size regime. The particle aging kinetics were determined by monitoring the optical band edge absorption and using the effective mass model to approximate the particle size as a function of time. We show that the growth kinetics of the ZnO particles follow the Lifshitz, Slyozov, Wagner theory for Ostwald ripening. In this model, the higher curvature and hence chemical potential of smaller particles provides a driving force for dissolution. The larger particles continue to grow by diffusion limited transport of species dissolved in solution. Thin films were fabricated by constant current electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of the ZnO quantum particles from these colloidal suspensions. All the films exhibited a blue shift relative to the characteristic green emission associated with bulk ZnO. The optical characteristics of the particles in the colloidal suspensions were found to translate to the films.

The authors proposed and treated quantitatively a kinetic model for deposition of epitaxial GaAs layers prepared by reaction of trimethylgallium with arsine in hydrogen atmosphere. The transport of gallium to the surface of the substrate is considered as the controlling process. The influence of the rate of chemical reactions in the gas phase and on the substrate surface on the kinetics of the deposition process is neglected. The calculated dependence of the growth rate of the layers on the conditions of the deposition is in a good agreement with experimental data in the temperature range from 600 to 800°C.
