A novel synthesis procedure of multifunctional Ti based alloy was suggested under containerless processing using an electromagnetic levitation furnace. In this method, necessary condition to synthesize the alloys with ability of a dislocation-free plastic deformation was determined. That was supported by microstructural observation, hardness measurement and X-ray analysis of the alloys solidified from several undercoolings. The maximum undercooling of the alloy melt was up to 120K. Synthesized alloys that met the condition showed refined microstructures, increase of d-value of (110) plane and a tiny deviation of hardness by cold-working Others partially occurred stress-induced transformation.

ABSTRACTMaximum undercooling results for the icosahedral phase (i-phase), polytetrahedral C14 Laves phase, and solid solution phases are presented as a function of composition in Ti-Zr-Ni liquids. Containerless processing was achieved using the electrostatic levitation facility located at NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center. The maximum reduced undercooling decreases with increasing icosahedral short-range order in the ordered phase. The first synchrotron x-ray diffraction data from aerodynamically levitated liquids of Ti-Zr-Ni alloys suggest an icosahedral short-range order in the liquids, supporting Frank's hypothesis, correlating icosahedral order in the liquid with the nucleation barrier to the crystal phase. The strong negative heats of mixing between Ti/Zr and Ni and their relative atomic sizes likely favor the formation of this local icosahedral order.

The influence of the solution treatment (at the temperature of 500-520°C for 4-12 h) on microstructures and mechanical properties of Mg-Gd-Y-Zr alloy was investigated by means of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Vickers hardness measurement. The as-cast alloy contains a microstructure consisting of α-Mg matrix, Mg5Gd phase and Mg24Y5phase. With increasing solution temperature and time, the quantity of the primary particles (Mg5Gd and Mg24Y5) in the alloy continually decreased, and the degree of recrystallization gradually increased, which result in the gradual decrease of the Vickers hardness of the solution-treated alloys.

Extrusion-torsion simultaneous processing is a very attractive technique for fabricating a rod-shape material with fine grain and random texture. We have proposed a new screw form rolling process combined with preliminary extrusion-torsion simultaneous working. Microstructure evolution and mechanical property change of AZ91D magnesium alloy during extrusion-torsion simultaneous processing was examined through microstructure observation, X-ray diffraction analysis and micro-Vickers hardness measurement. By the addition of torsion, the crystal orientation of AZ91D magnesium alloy workpiece was drastically changed from basal crystalline orientation to the random orientation. Crystal grain occurred through the dynamic recrystallization and tended to coarsen with an increase of extrusion-torsion temperature. Grain refinement under 2 um was achieved at the lowest extrusion-torsion temperature of 523 K. M8 gauge AZ91D magnesium alloy screw was successfully formed at room temperature using the extrusion-twisted workpiece preliminary solution treating at 678 K for 345.6 ks. It was found that the extrusion-torsion temperature of 678 K must be selected to fabricate the good screw without any defects.

The changes of the phase composition, structure and physicomechanical properties of Ti‑40 mas % Nb after severe plastic deformation are investigated in this paper. By the methods of microstructural, X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy it is determined that phase and structural transformations occur simultaneously in the alloy after severe plastic deformation. The martensitic structure formed after tempering disappears. The inverse α'' → β transformation occurs. The structure consisting of oriented refined grains is formed. The alloy is hardened due to the cold working. The Young modulus is equal to 79 GPa and it is less than that of initial alloy and close to the value obtained after tempering. It is possible that Young modulus is reduced by additional annealing.

Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) crystals is very interesting due to its nonlinear optical property. This study investigated on improving of material for academic use by adding boric acid to modify ADP crystals. Slow evaporation method in aqueous solutions of pure ADP and ADP doped with three concentrations of H3BO3 as 0.1, 1.0, 5.0 %wt were studied. The grown crystals were confirmed tetragonal structure by powder X-ray diffraction studies. The FTIR spectrum analysis presented various functional groups of boron in three conditions of doped ADP. TGA study was comfirned the temperature stability at 220 °C for both pure and doped ADP crytals. The machanical stress was analyzed by Vicker’s hardness measurement. The results of this analysis showed boric acid doped 1.0 %wt had superior machanical stress from 10 to 75 grams. ADP doped with boric acid at 1.0 %wt was accepted in all test properties.

An efficient synthetic approach for the preparation of densely substituted furans starting from ( E)-ethyl 3-aryl-2-cyanoacrylates and ethyl glycinate hydrochloride mediated by 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene in the presence of water is investigated. The reactions are carried out under mild conditions in N,N-dimethylformamide at 95 °C. The products are cleanly obtained in 50%–57% yields, resulting in an appealing alternative for accessing polysubstituted furan-2,4-dicarboxylates. The structure of a typical product, diethyl 5-amino-3-( p-tolyl)furan-2,4-dicarboxylate, is confirmed by X-ray crystallography.

ABSTRACTThe short-range order of stable and deeply undercooled liquids of Al13(Co,Fe)4 alloys forming polytetrahedral phases is investigated by combining the containerless processing technique of electromagnetic levitation with elastic neutron scattering. Partial structure factors were inferred from the diffraction data which allow an analysis of both, the topological and the chemical short-range order of these alloy melts as a function of the temperature.
