Mechanism Of Oxidation

While studying activation sintering of tungsten, Evans [5] and Ito and Furusawa [6] revealed that W-Cr-Pd alloys exhibit unexpected oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. The role of palladium in stimulating oxidation resistance in W-Cr alloys is the main aim of the present contribution. As previously observed, at 800 °C these alloys form a relatively dense protective scale that consists of an inner layer of Cr2O3, an intermediate layer of Cr2WO6 and an external layer of WO3. At 1200 °C only Cr2WO6 layer is found, since the Cr2O3 and WO3 evaporate. To determine the role of paladium, W and W-Pd alloys were coated with Cr layers and undergone diffusion experiments. An extraordinary affinity between the Cr and Pd was revealed, manifested by extremely fast inward diffusion of Cr along grain boundaries. In a second experiment the dissolution of Cr into W grains at 1300°C was followed and found to take place preferentially along grain boundaries. These observations assess that the Pd segregated at grain boundaries provides fast diffusion channels for Cr to the free surface and it imparts the significant improvement of the oxidation resistance of W alloys, as suggested by Lee and Simkovitz [10-12].

Specific Phase

Specific phase transitions to the compound-like impurity nanosegregation structures at dislocations and grain boundaries in metals and their influence on diffusion-assisted processes are considered, mainly, on the basis of the thermodynamic analysis of the related experimental data. The following systems and aspects are in detail considered: (1) the hydride-like nanosegregation of hydrogen at dislocations and grain boundaries in palladium and their influence on the apparent characteristics of hydrogen solubility and diffusivity in palladium; (2) the physics of the anomalous characteristics of diffusion of Fe and other transition impurities in crystalline Al at elevated temperatures, the role of the compound-like nanosegregation (CLNS) of Fe and the others at dislocations and grain boundaries in Al, analysis of the Mössbauer and diffusion data on CLNS of Fe at grain boundaries and dislocations in Al; (3) some new physical aspects of internal oxidation and nitridation of metals (for Cu-0.3%Fe alloy/Cu2O surface layer, and for (Ni-5%Cr) alloy / N2 gas), the role of the compound-like impurity nanosegregation at dislocations and grain boundaries, study results on the deviations from the classical theories predictions and their interpretation. The possibility is considered of nanotechnology applications of the study results for creation of nanostructured metals with compound-like nanosegregation structures at grain boundaries, in order to obtain specific physical and mechanical properties of such a cellural-type nanocomposites. In particular, it can be complex hydride-like, carbide-like, nitride-like, carbide-nitride-like, oxide-like or intermetallide-like nanosegregation structures at grain boundaries of nanostructured metals.

Oxidation Resistant

During the last 10 years, there has been a resurgence of interest in ordered alloys for structural uses due to the discovery of the dramatic ductilizing effect of boron on grain boundaries in Ni3Al. With this discovery, it was hoped that the property of an increase in strength as the temperature is increased could be utilized as well as the excellent oxidation resistance. Now, alloys based on Ni3Al are in use in specialized industrial applications, such as high temperature forging dies and being tested for use as turbocharger rotors. Due to the successful control of the grain boundary strength in Ni3Al, other systems were reexamined. For example, Fe3Al was also thought to have inherently brittle grain boundaries, however it was found that with purer alloys the material failed by cleavage. Subsequently, development of practical, inexpensive, oxidation resistant alloys has proceeded. Fe3Al alloys are currently being tested for automobile exhaust applications.

Using small-angle X-ray scattering, electron microscopy, and density measurements, structural factors have been identified that lead to a decrease in the mechanical stability of ultrafine-grained (UFG) metals and alloys when tested in creep mode at elevated temperatures. It has been established that one of the important factors is nanopores formed during intense plastic deformation. The development of these nanopores in grain boundaries formed during creep is realized by the diffusion mechanism and leads to destruction. The role of dispersed inclusions and high-angle grain boundaries for the strength of UFG metals and alloys under their “short-term” and long-term loading is considered.

The paper reviews the results of numerical analyses for the micro-and mesoscale deformation-induced surface phenomena in three-dimensional polycrystals with the explicit account for the grain structure. The role of the free surface and grain boundaries in the appearance of the grain-scale stress concentrations and plastic strain nucleation is illustrated on the examples of aluminum polycrystals. Special attention is paid to the discussion of mesoscale deformation-induced surface roughening under uniaxial tension.

Hardened Cement Paste

It has been almost universally adopted that dissolution of solids proceeds with development of uniform, continuous frontiers of reaction.However this point of view is doubtful / 1 /. E.g. we have proved the active role of the block (grain) boundaries in the main phases of cement, these boundaries being the areas of hydrate phases' nucleation / 2 /. It has brought to the supposition that the dissolution frontier of cement particles in water is discrete. It seems also probable that the dissolution proceeds through the channels, which serve both for the liquid phase movement and for the drainage of the incongruant solution products. These channels can be appeared along the block boundaries.In order to demonsrate it, we have offered the method of phase-contrast impregnation of the hardened cement paste with the solution of methyl metacrylahe and benzoyl peroxide. The viscosity of this solution is equal to that of water.

Gold Thin Film

Gold thin film metallizations in microelectronic circuits have a distinct advantage over those consisting of aluminum because they are less susceptible to electromigration. When electromigration is no longer the principal failure mechanism, other failure mechanisms caused by d.c. stressing might become important. In gold thin-film metallizations, grain boundary grooving is the principal failure mechanism.Previous studies have shown that grain boundary grooving in gold films can be prevented by an indium underlay between the substrate and gold. The beneficial effect of the In/Au composite film is mainly due to roughening of the surface of the gold films, redistribution of indium on the gold films and formation of In2O3 on the free surface and along the grain boundaries of the gold films during air annealing.

Coherent annealing-twin boundaries are constant structure and energy interfaces with an average interfacial free energy of ∼19mJ/m2 versus ∼210 and ∼835mJ/m2 for incoherent twins and “regular” grain boundaries respectively in 304 stainless steels (SS). Due to their low energy, coherent twins form carbides about a factor of 100 slower than grain boundaries, and limited work has also shown differences in Cr-depletion (sensitization) between twin versus grain boundaries. Plastic deformation, may, however, alter the kinetics and thermodynamics of twin-sensitization which is not well understood. The objective of this work was to understand the mechanisms of carbide precipitation and Cr-depletion on coherent twin boundaries in deformed SS. The research is directed toward using this invariant structure and energy interface to understand and model the role of interfacial characteristics on deformation-induced sensitization in SS. Carbides and Cr-depletion were examined on a 20%-strain, 0.051%C-304SS, heat treated to 625°C-4.5h, as described elsewhere.

Structural Applications

MoSi2 is a potential matrix material for high temperature structural composites due to its high melting temperature and good oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. The two major drawbacksfor structural applications are inadequate high temperature strength and poor low temperature ductility. The search for appropriate composite additions has been the focus of extensive investigations in recent years. The addition of SiC in a nanolayered configuration was shown to exhibit superior oxidation resistance and significant hardness increase through annealing at 500°C. One potential application of MoSi2- SiC multilayers is for high temperature coatings, where structural stability ofthe layering is of major concern. In this study, we have systematically investigated both the evolution of phases and the stability of layers by varying the heat treating conditions.Alternating layers of MoSi2 and SiC were synthesized by DC-magnetron and rf-diode sputtering respectively. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) was used to examine three distinct reactions in the specimens when exposed to different annealing conditions: crystallization and phase transformation of MoSi2, crystallization of SiC, and spheroidization of the layer structures.
