The growth mechanism of bainitic α plates in Ti-4.5Fe-6.8Mo-1.5Al, a metastable β Ti alloy, has been investigated by optical microscopy, electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and dilatometry. The observations are compared with the transformation characteristics of primary α plates, which form at relatively high temperatures. The primary α plates form predominantly on β grain boundaries, whereas the bainitic α plates nucleate both at grain boundaries and intragranularly. It is shown that the morphological transition with decreasing temperature is associated with a change in transformation mechanism. The EPMA results show that the primary α plates are formed by a partitioning transformation. In contrast, the growth of the bainitic α plates is partitionless, followed by a post-transformation redistribution of Fe. This mechanism is similar to bainite in steel. The Fe diffusion from the supersaturated bainitic α plates to the β matrix causes the observed dilatation signal. The results of dilatometry in conjunction with optical microscopy indicate that a low misfit between the lattice structures exists, which is favourable for a partitionless transformation to occur at a low undercooling below T0.

The interaction among Lanthanum, Arsenic and Iron at 1223K were studied by means of electron probe microanalysis, optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The result shows that the gray phase might be a ternary compound La10Fe50As40, and the binary compound LaAs and the ternary compound La10Fe50As40 are the main interaction products when the atomic ratio of La to As is 1:3. The eutectic compound Fe2As can be precipitated from ferrite with the temperature decreasing.

The phase equilibria in the Fe-Nb-V ternary system were investigated by means of optical microscopy, electron probe microanalysis. One isothermal section in the Fe-Nb-V ternary system at 1050 °C was firstly experimentally established. Present experimental results indicate that: (1) there is a large (Nb, V) continuous bcc solid solution; (2) there are the larger solubilities of V in the FeNb and Fe2Nb phases. The newly determined phase equilibria in this system will provide important support for the development of microalloyed steels.

In a recent study, Sarkar and Eyer (1986) studied an amalgam which was formed using a unique procedure. Based on their results, they concluded that the solubility of Sn in the Ag-Hg (γ1) phase of dental amalgam was virtually nil (<0.25 wt%). This finding is contrary to the published results of other investigations. The purpose of the present study was to clarify these disparate findings. A low-copper dental amalgam was examined by electron probe microanalysis. This amalgam was selected because it exhibits unusually large γ1 grains (10 μm). Because the influence of the electron-analyzing beam can be completely contained within these large grains, grain boundaries or peripheral phases would not be excited, and a valid analysis of the γ 1 grains themselves could be made. The analyses showed significant Sn contents of 2.0-3.0 wt%. Analyses of areas which contained grain boundaries showed slight or no differences in Sn content compared with that for the grains alone. Furthermore, secondary electron scans of this dental amalgam failed to reveal the intergranular precipitates of Sn-Hg observed by Sarkar and Eyer (1986) in their amalgam. These different results can be explained by the fact that the unique amalgam investigated by Sarkar and Eyer does not exhibit the same diffusional patterns as does dental amalgam, and that the composition of the γ1 in the two amalgams is not the same. The final conclusion is that the Ag-Hg (γ1) phase in dental amalgam does indeed contain a significant amount of Sn.

The phase equilibria in the Fe-Nb-V ternary system were investigated by means of optical microscopy, electron probe microanalysis. One isothermal section in the Fe-Nb-V ternary system at 900 °C was firstly experimentally established. Present experimental results indicate that: (1) there is a large (Nb, V) continuous bcc solid solution; (2) there are the larger solubilities of V in the FeNb and Fe2Nb phases. The newly determined phase equilibria in this system will provide important support for the development of microalloyed steels.

The interaction among Cerium, Arsenic and Iron at high temperature in a pressure-tight reactor were studied by means of electron probe microanalysis, optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction to understand what compounds could be developed and how about their stability chemically should be. The result shows that the binary compound CeAs is the main product on condition that the atomic ratio of Cerium to Arsenic is 2:1. There are some Fe2Ce, Ce4As3 and Fe17Ce2 compounds developed meanwhile. The amount of Fe17Ce2 phase by the base of steel increased with time prolonging at high temperature

The microstructure, micrograph of the fracture sections and the alloy elements distribution of the fractured flange-connecting bolts of 3# circulating pump in a power plant were analyzed by the scanning electron microscopy, the optical microscopy and the electron probe microanalysis. The results showed that the failed bolts’ material is not the design material, and failure of the bolts is due to the stress corrosion crack propagation of the bolts’ austenitic material by chloride ions in seawater.

Abstract Crystals of xenotime-structured phosphates doped with erbium had been grown from molybdate flux at a temperature 1220 ° C followed by slow cooling. The crystals synthesized had been studied using X-ray diffraction and electron probe microanalysis in combination with optical microscopy and luminescence studies.

Abstract Dezincification type corrosion of a Monel Alloy well screen in water with 23–54ppm CO2 is discussed in detail. The second phase in the corroded grain boundaries was identified by electron probe microanalysis as nearly pure copper with little or no nickel. It is concluded that Monel may be susceptible to dezincification-type corrosion when used in certain environments.
