Using transmission electron microscopy, x – ray diffraction analysis, tensile testing and fractography the changes were analyzed that occur in microstructure and tensile properties of E635 alloy annealed after quenching from b – region of phase diagram. The interrelation is demonstrated between microstructure and tensile properties depending on deformation/heat treatment conditions.

In this work, we investigated a novel Al-Mg-Si alloy, which was developed from an AA 6082, in order to considerably improve the yield and tensile strengths whilst retain excellent ductility. The new alloy possesses a higher content of Si than specified by AA 6082, and, in addition, it contains copper and zirconium. The alloy was characterized in the as-cast condition, after homogenization, extrusion, and T6 heat treatment using light microscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis and tensile testing. After T6 temper, tensile strengths were around 490 MPa with more than 10% elongation at fracture. The microstructure consisted of small-grained Al-rich matrix with α-AlMnSi and Al3Zr dispersoids, and Q′-AlCuMgSi and β-Mg2Si-type precipitates.

Copper(I) chloride and bromide nanoparticle-dispersed glasses were prepared by means of a conventional copper staining. The staining was performed by the following process: copper stain was applied on the surfaces of Cl−- or Br−-ion-containing borosilicate glasses, and the glasses were heat-treated at 510 °C for various times. Typical exciton bands observed in the absorption spectra of the glasses after the heat treatment indicated that CuCl and CuBr particles were formed in the surface region of the glasses. The average sizes of the CuCl and CuBr particles in the glasses heat-treated for 48 h were estimated at 4.8 and 2.7 nm, respectively. The nanoparticles were also characterized by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Depth profiles of Cu and CuBr concentration in the glass heat-treated for 48 h were measured. Copper decreased in concentration monotonously with depth, reaching up to 60 μm, while the CuBr concentration had a maximum at about 25 μm in depth.

AbstractX-ray diffraction (XRD) line-broadening analysis has been used to determine dislocation densities in zirconium alloys with hexagonal closepacked (hep) crystal structures and a complex distribution of dislocations reflecting the plastic, anisotropy of the material. The validity of the technique has been assessed by comparison with direct measurements of dislocation densities in deformed polycrystalline and neutron-irradiated single crystal material using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that-there is good agreement between the XRD and TEM for measurements on the deformed material whereas there is a large discrepancy for measurements on the irradiated single crystal; the XRD measurements significantly underestimating the TEM observations.

Melt spun ribbons of Co 64 Fe 4 Ni 2 B 19 Si 8 Cr 3 alloy have been prepared and the nanocrystallization process was carried out by the heat treatment of the as spun ribbons above the crystallization temperature. Structural studies of the samples have been performed by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Magnetic properties of the samples and magnetoimpedance measurements were investigated and it was revealed that magnetic properties and magnetoimpedance of the samples deteriorate by the formation of nanocrystalline phases.

ABSTRACTThe reaction between Ni60Ta40 amorphous alloy and (001) GaAs was studied by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, Auger spectroscopy, and x-ray diffraction. At 400°C formation of Ni GaAs at the interface with GaAs was observed. After heat treatment at 600°C in vacuum a layered structure of TaAs/NiGa/GaAs has been formed. The NiGa layer has epitaxial relations to the GaAs substrate. The vertical phase separation can be explained by opposite diffusion directions of nickel and arsenic atoms.

The air-water interfacial zirconia film composed of nanodisks with self-assembly structure is prepared. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectrum (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are used to characterize the film. Furthermore, the heat-treatment of this film is studied by thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), XRD, and Raman spectroscopy (Raman). The results suggest that the zirconia of the samples changes from amorphous phase to t-ZrO2phase then m-ZrO2phase with the rise of calcined temperature.

Taking Attapulgite Clay(ATP) as a carrier, TiO2/ATP precursor was prepared by acid sol-gel method, and then made its composite under different heat-treatment conditions. The structures, dimensions, compositions of the composite are characterized by X-Ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope, thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis and spectroscopic analysis measurements, respectively. the results show that TiO2/ATP composite increase the crystal transition temperature of TiO2, rutile TiO2emerge in the composite until 800°C, ATP lost its layer constructure and collapse at 850°C.

ABSTRACTThe effects of grain size on the phase transformations in nanocrystalline ZrO2-Al2O3 have been experimentally investigated. Compositions from 10 to 50 vol% Al2O3 in ZrO2 were obtained as a hydroxide gel. The powders were then calcined at 600 °C for 17 hours and heat treated at 1100 °C for 24 and 120 hours and at 1200 °C for 2 hours. The phase distribution and grain size were determined using x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The initial grain size after calcining was 8–17 nm. It was determined that the critical ZrO2 grain size to avoid the tetragonal to monoclinic phase transformation on cooling from 1100 °C was between 17 and 25 nm. Samples containing 50% Al2O3 maintained a grain size below the critical size for all times and temperatures. The 30% Al2O3 samples showed the same behavior in all but one heat treatment. The remainder of the samples showed significant grain growth and at least partial transformation to the monoclinic phase.

In this paper, α-Fe2O4@ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by coprecipitation method in the presence of PVP and EG surfactants. The samples were charactrized by x-ray fluorescence (XRF), x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The XRD results exhibited rhombohedral α-Fe2O3 and wurtzite structure of ZnO. The SEM images showed that the NPs changed from rod-shape to nanoleaves particles after heat treatment. The TEM studies displayed the formation of Fe2O3@ZnO core-shell of as-synthesized NPs. The stretching vibrations peaks in FTIR in the wavenumber of 532 cm-1 and 473 cm-1 ascribed to the Fe and Zn groups. The XRF data indicated decreasing of the Fe weight percent from 22 %Wt. to 25 %Wt., after heat treatment.
