Structural characteristics and thermal behavior of the conventionally solidified Al80Cu14Fe6, was investigated by X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, and differential thermal analysis techniques. It was found that the formation of quasi crystalline phase occurs after annealing for relatively low temperature (500°C) during a short time.

AbstractA pulsed excimer laser was used to ablate aluminum metal into an oxygen-containing atmosphere. The resulting fine powder was collected on a 0.1 μm filter and analyzed to determine structure and composition. Using a combination of TEM, EELS, and thermal analysis techniques, the product was found to be amorphous aluminum oxide, Al2O3. The morphology of the powders was investigated using SEM, TEM, and surface area measurements. The resulting powder was crystallized and examined by x-ray diffraction.

ABSTRACTA systematic study on phase formation and stabilisation in the Ba-Cu-C-O system in the temperature range 20-500°C, under various atmospheres, by traditional thermal analysis techniques, high temperature X-ray diffraction and high resolution electron microscopy, has permitted to identify and characterise the formation kinetics of a new copper containing phase isomorphic to γ-BaCO3.

In this article, we report the crystallization of struvite in sodium metasilicate gel by single diffusion gel growth technique. The obtained crystals have a very rich morphology displaying 18 faces. In this study, the habit and morphology of the obtained struvite crystals are analyzed. The crystals were examined and identified as pure struvite by single X-ray diffraction (XRD). The orthorhombic polar noncentrosymmetric space group Pmn21 was identified. The structure of the crystal was determined at a temperature of 90 K. Our research indicates a lack of polymorphism, resulting from the temperature lowering to 90 K, which has not been previously reported. The determined unit cell parameters are as follows a = 6.9650(2) Å, b = 6.1165(2) Å, c = 11.2056(3) Å. The structure of struvite is presented here with a residual factor R1 = 1.2% at 0.80 Å resolution. We also present thermoanalytical study of struvite using thermal analysis techniques such as thermogravimetry (TG), derivative thermogravimetry (DTG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA).

This work reports on an experimental study of the stretching of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) film in various uniaxial/biaxial stretching modes at various temperatures and stretching speeds. We examined the stress-birefringence relationship as a stress-optical rule (SOR) under uniaxial stretching and evaluated the stress-optical coefficient (SOC). Wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) measurements were applied to evaluate the contribution to birefringence of the crystalline and amorphous phases and to characterize stretching modes. In simultaneous biaxial stretching, the melting temperature (Tm) proved critical to structural formation. We applied thermal analysis techniques and tensile testing to evaluate higher order structures after each stretching mode.

AbstractThe thermal transformations which take place in solid methyl-substituted ammonium perchlorates have been studied using high-temperature X-ray diffraction and differential thermal analysis techniques. In the temperature range from 20°C to their decomposition temperature (above 300°C), ammonium perchlorate and tetramethyl ammonium perchlorate undergo only one enantiomorphic phase transition, namely at 240 and 340°C (with decomposition), respectively. This I—II transition is ascribed to the beginning of the free rotation of the ClO4− ions. The rotation of the cations, however, begins below room temperature. If the symmetry of the cation is lowered by having both methyl groups and hydrogens arranged around the nitrogen (as in monomethyl, dimethyl, and trimethyl ammonium perchlorates), there is an additional enantiomorphic phase transition. This I—II transformation is ascribed to the rotation of the cations which have, in the partially substituted ions, two sets of non-equivalent symmetry axes (different moments of inertia). The temperatures of transformation are discussed in terms of the space requirements for rotation. Symmetries and cell dimensions of some modifications were determined.

In order to improve the wear resistance of mild steel products, the Fe-based alloy layer was melted on the surface of mild steel by high-frequency induction cladding. Using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction observation of microstructure of the alloy coating, wear resistance of the coating was evaluated. The results showed that: between the coating and the substrate is metallurgical bonded; The microstructure of coating layer was compact actinomorphous structure with plentiful nubby and strip eutectics; Actinomorphous structure was mixed structure of martensite and γ alloy solid solution covered with a large number floriform and dendrite eutectic; The coating has high hardness and good wear resistance.

In this paper, WC-Ni60 alloy composite coating with different contents of WC particles was prepared on the 45steel substrate by high frequency induction cladding. The Composition and microstructure were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron probe X-ray microanalysis (EPMA), the abradability and hardness were tested by UMT-2 tribometer and HV-50A durometer, respectively. The results showed that the hardness and wear resistance of coating were enhanced with the increasing of WC content. WC-Ni60 coating obtained the best wear resistance with the content of 50% WC. The hardness of the coating got the highest when the content of WC was 60%, but wear resistance decreased. The WC-Ni60 coating was reinforced for various hard phases and the metallurgical bonding layer about 10μm was formed between coating and 45steel substrate.

Continuous induction brazing with ultra-high frequency was proposed to braze the monocrystalline CBN grains using Ag-based filler alloy. The interfacial microstructure of the brazed specimen and the resultant morphology on the CBN surface was investigated and analogized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy diffraction X-ray (EDX). The experimental results showed that the bonding among CBN grains, filler alloy and steel matrix was achieved. The CBN grains were well wetted by the filler alloy and formed a massive support profile. Moreover, the active element Ti of the filler diffused markedly and gathered in the interfacial of matrix/filler and filler/grain respectively. Due to the short dwell time in brazing, the newly formed resultants grew in a short time. The resultants layer did not entirely covered the CBN grain, and discretely distributed on the surface of CBN grain. The size of the resultants was less than 200nm.
