In this paper, phase transformation in alloys of the Al-Fe and Al-Fe-Cr systems was investigated. The alloys were prepared by melting and gravity casting. The studies of phase transformation were carried out on samples after casting and annealing, using the differential thermal analysis (DTA) and dilatometric method. The knowledge on the phase transformations in these alloys including the information about order-disorder transition is very important from the point of view of obtained mechanical and physical properties of alloys of the Al-Fe system. These results are an important contribution in development of knowledge on iron aluminides. In the article, temperatures of phase transformations connected with a change in order type and transition into disordered solid solution were defined. Conformity of the recorded DTA results and dilatometric analysis was achieved.

Much research has been done to model laser hardening phase transformation kinetics. In that research, assumptions are made about the austenization of the steel that does not translate into accurate hardness depth calculations. The purpose of this paper is to develop an analytical method to accurately model laser hardening phase transformation kinetics of hypoeutectoid steel, accounting for non-homogeneous austenization. The modeling is split into two sections. The first models the transient thermal analysis to obtain temperature time-histories for each point in the workpiece. The second models non-homogeneous austenization and utilizes continuous cooling curves to predict microstructure and hardness. Non-homogeneous austenization plays a significant role in the hardness and hardness depth in the steel. A finite element based three-dimensional thermal analysis in ANSYS is performed to obtain the temperature history on three steel workpieces for laser hardening process with no melting; AISI 1030, 1040 and 1045 steels. This is followed by the determination of microstructural changes due to ferrite and pearlite transformation to austenite during heating and the subsequent austenite to martensite and other diffusional transformations during cooling. Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) equation is used to track the phase transformations during heating, including the effects of non-homogenous austenitization. The solid state nodal phase transformations during cooling are monitored on the material’s digitized Continuous Cooling Transformation (CCT) curve through a user defined input file in ANSYS for all cooling rates within the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ). Material non-linearity is included in the model by including temperature dependent thermal properties for the material. The model predictions for hardness underneath the laser and the HAZ match well with the experimental results published in literature.

We have investigated the polymorphic phase transformations above ambient temperature for 3-chloro-trans-cinnamic acid (3-ClCA, C9H7ClO2) and a solid solution of 3-ClCA and 3-bromo-trans-cinnamic acid (3-BrCA, C9H7BrO2). At 413 K, the γ polymorph of 3-ClCA transforms to the β polymorph. Interestingly, the structure of the β polymorph of 3-ClCA obtained in this transformation is different from the structure of the β polymorph of 3-BrCA obtained in the corresponding polymorphic transformation from the γ polymorph of 3-BrCA, even though the γ polymorphs of 3-ClCA and 3-BrCA are isostructural. We also report a high-temperature phase transformation from a γ-type structure to a β-type structure for a solid solution of 3-ClCA and 3-BrCA (with a molar ratio close to 1:1). The γ polymorph of the solid solution is isostructural with the γ polymorphs of pure 3-ClCA and pure 3-BrCA, while the β-type structure produced in the phase transformation is structurally similar to the β polymorph of pure 3-BrCA.

Abstract. Features of the texture development in Zr-based alloys under compression at tempera-tures of the (α+β)-region of the Zr-Nb phase diagram indicate that the plastic deformation shifts temperatures of phase transformations due to accompanying thermal effects and the decrease of lattice stability, whereas formation of the fine-grained structure by phase transformation promotes activation of the non-crystallographic deformation mechanism of slip by interphase boundaries.

The crystals of solid solution (NH4,Cs)4(HSO4)3(H2PO4) were investigate by synchronous thermal analysis and polarization microscopy methods at heating with the purpose of studying phase transitions in these solid solutions. The temperatures of structural modifications are established, and it is shown that the replacement of Cs cations by NH4 in Cs4(HSO4)3(H2PO4) crystals leads to a decrease in the temperature of phase transformations.

Copper alloys are widely used in mechanical engineering. In the article it is shown that the requirements of consumers to properties of alloys are constantly increasing. Complex alloyed brasses have a high wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The wear resistance is a basic property of an alloy. This characteristic determines the operating life of parts working in the wear conditions. The wear resistance is supported by phase composition of alloy, uniformity of distribution of phase in the structure of alloy, their volume fraction, their morphology and their dimensions. At present time the technology of continuous casting of ingots of alloys Cu59Zn34.6Mn3.5Al2.5Fe0.5Ni0.4, Cu70Zn13Mn7Al5Fe2Si2Pb1, Cu58Zn36Mn2Pb2Si1Al1 and Cu58Zn35Mn3Si1.5Ni1.5Pb1 is developed. However, the need to use new alloys for manufacturing of critical parts requires the development of technology for their production, taking into account the composition of alloy and the features of formation of structure. Therefore, it is necessary to establish well-founded technological parameters of melting and casting of ingots of complex alloyed brass Cu62Zn31.6Mn3Al2Si0.8Ni0.4Cr0.2. For determination of temperatures of phase transformations in the structure of alloy, the differential thermal analysis was carried out. Liquidus and solidus temperatures of alloy were determined. The crystallization range of alloy was established. This brass in a solid state undergoes two phase transformations. The temperature of the first phase transformation is 750 oC. The temperature of the second phase transformation is 515 oC. The obtained experimental data make it possible to describe the proposed mechanism of phase transformations in alloy Cu62Zn31.6Mn3Al2Si0.8Ni0.4Cr0.2 during crystallization and following cooling.

Microstructural changes and phase transformations of an electropulsing-treated (EPT) ZA22 alloy wire were studied using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron-microscopy techniques. Two stages of phase transformation were detected in the EPT alloy: (i) quenching from the as furnace-cooled (FC) state to the final stable state and (ii) up-quenching from the final stable state back to the as FC state through two reverse phase transformations: T′ + η → α + ε and η′T + ε + α → η′FC. Electropulsing accelerated phase transformation tremendously. It was at least 1200 times faster than the aging process. The mechanism of the electropulsing-induced phase transformations is discussed from the point of view of Gibbs free energy and electropulsing kinetics.

The synthesis of alloys of the system was carried out stepwise in rotary furnaces. The synthesis mode was selected based on the physicochemical properties of the elementary components. For homogenization, the alloys were subjected to isothermal annealing at 750 and 1275 K, depending on the Tm2Te3 concentration, for 250 h after homogenization of the alloys, they were subjected to physicochemical analysis. The results of differential thermal analysis showed that reversible thermal effects are observed in the alloys of the system. In alloys in a 1: 1 ratio, a new intermediate phase is formed with a composition corresponding to the TmAsTe3 compound. The homogeneity area is observed in the concentration range 52.5-47.5. It was found that in the concentration range 98.5-52.5 Tm2Te3 there are two phases - a mixture of β and of the solid solution, and in the concentration range of 47.51 mol% Tm2Te3 phases and α are in equilibrium. ) 66 The eutectic has coordinates of 11.5 mol Tm2Te3 at a temperature of 575 K.

Molar heat capacities and molar enthalpies of fusion of the solvates Zn(NO3)2 . 2·24 DMSO, Zn(NO3)2 . 8·11 DMSO, Zn(NO3)2 . 6 DMSO, NaNO3 . 2·85 DMSO, and AgNO3 . DMF, where DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide and DMF is dimethylformamide, have been determined over the temperature range 240 to 400 K. Endothermic peaks found for the zinc nitrate solvates below the liquidus temperature have been ascribed to solid phase transformations. The molar enthalpies of the solid phase transformations are close to 5 kJ mol-1 for all zinc nitrate solvates investigated. The dependence of the molar heat capacity on the temperature outside the phase transformation region can be described by a linear equation for both the solid and liquid phases.

ABSTRACT Turquoise, CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8·4H2O, belongs to the turquoise group, which consists of turquoise, chalcosiderite, aheylite, faustite, planerite, and UM1981-32-PO:FeH. In order to study turquoise-group solid solutions in samples from the Neyshabour and Meydook mines, 17 samples were selected and investigated using electron probe microanalysis. In addition, their major elements were compared in order to evaluate the feasibility of distinguishing the provenance of Persian turquoises. The electron microprobe data show that the studied samples are not constituted of pure turquoise (or any other pure endmember) and belong, from the chemical point of view, to turquoise-group solid solutions. In a turquoise–planerite–chalcosiderite–unknown mineral quaternary solid solution diagram, the chemical compositions of the analyzed samples lie along the turquoise–planerite line with minor involvement of chalcosiderite and the unknown mineral. Among light blue samples with varying hues and saturations from both studied areas, planerite is more abundant among samples from Meydook compared with samples from Neyshabour. Nevertheless, not all the light blue samples are planerite. This study demonstrates that distinguishing the deposit of origin for isochromatic blue and green turquoises, based on electron probe microanalysis method and constitutive major elements, is not possible.
