The microstructure, texture and basic stamping properties of AZ31 magnesium sheet are studied in this paper with optical microscopy (OM), scan electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and MTS universal tester. The results show that the basal texture (0002) is enhanced and the grain size decreases as the thickness of sheet decreases. However the texture depresses in the 0.52mm sheet due to the complete recrystallization under deep rolling reduction. The strength and elongation decreases and the strain hardening index (n value) increases as the thickness increases. The precipitation decreases and the basal texture depresses after annealing treatment. The peak value ratio of crystal plane (0002) of 1.3mm sheet reduces from 67% to 53% when annealing treated at 300°C for 2h. In addition, the strain hardening index (n) value reduces from 0.2535 to 0.2053 and the anisotropic index (r) value increases from 1.966 to 2.108 when the sheet is treated at the same condition.

The investigations of the microstructure changes of Ni75Ti25powder prepared by mechanical alloying in as-milled state and after annealing treatment were performed. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) method was used to investigate a mechanically induced solid state reaction between nickel and titanium powders. The crystallite sizes and lattice strains were analyzed by using Williamson-Hall method. The compacted powder morphology was analyzed by SEM method. The Ni(Ti) solid solution was formed as a result of the milling process. The crystallite sizes of all alloys are below 100 nm. The annealing treatment, in the temperature range of 773 K to 1173 K leads to reduction of the breadth of Ni(Ti) diffraction lines, which indicates at the increase in size of crystallites. However, the phase composition of annealed Ti75Ni25powder does not change, so the presence of any Ni-Ti intermetallic phases is not stated.

Annealing and dip galvanizing treatments of Galvalume were studied by using methods of Gleeble thermal simulation experiment and optical microscopy (OM), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), X-ray energy dispersive analysis (EDAX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and so on. Meanwhile, surface morphology, microstructure, phases and the respective compositions of Al-Zn alloy coating plate were analyzed. The results show that decreased rate and prolonged time of annealing treatment cause less effect on process ability of product, which all because of the short time of annealing process in continuous aluminum-zinc treatment. However, coarse grain which causes low strength, high elongation and r value occurs when rising annealing temperature. To get better coated surface, in-zinc pot temperature should be controlled in the range of 590~610°C, and height of air-knife nozzle should be kept in the range of 150~200mm. Surface layer of 55%Al-Zn alloy coating is covered by Al-Zn alloy, the intermediate alloy layer is consisted of binary and ternary compounds, such as θ phase (FeAl3), Al0.3Fe3Si0.7 and Al3.21Si0.47.

Amorphous Cr–C alloy coating was prepared by electrodepositing. The microhardness of the coating was tested after annealing from 100°C to 800°C and the crystallization evolution was studied by the analysis of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning caborimetry (DSC). The results showed that the crystallization evolution of the coating began at 300°C and finished around 450°C, and intermetallic compound Cr7C3and Cr23C6appeared when heat treatment temperature reached around 600°C. The microhardness, corrosion resistance as well as the adhesion of the coating all increased first with the temperature and then dropped until it attained the proper values. The microhardness reached the maximum of 1610HV0.025at 600°C. While the corrosion resistance and the adhesion force attained the peak value at about 400°C.

Magnetic iron oxides have been used in biomedical applications, such as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging, carriers for controlled drug delivery and immunoassays, or magnetic hyperthermia for the past 40 years. Our aim is to investigate the effect of pressure and temperature on the structural, thermal, and magnetic properties of iron oxides prepared by hydrothermal synthesis at temperatures of 100–200 °C and pressures of 20–1000 bar. It has been found that pressure influences the type of iron oxide crystalline phase. Thus, the results obtained by Mössbauer characterization are in excellent agreement with X-ray diffraction and optical microscopy characterization, showing that, for lower pressure values (<100 bar), hematite is formed, while, at pressures >100 bar, the major crystalline phase is goethite. In addition, thermal analysis results are consistent with particle size analysis by X-ray diffraction, confirming the crystallization of the synthesized iron oxides. One order of magnitude higher magnetization has been obtained for sample synthesized at 1000 bar. The same sample provides after annealing treatment, the highest amount of good quality magnetite leading to a magnetization at saturation of 30 emu/g and a coercive field of 1000 Oe at 10 K and 450 Oe at 300 K, convenient for various applications.

The Cu3N films were deposited successfully by reactive direct current magnetron sputtering, the films were comprehensively and systematically characterized by X-ray diffraction analyzer (XRD), UV-Visible spectrophotometer, four-probe resistance tester and other instruments. Results showed that under low deposition power (80W~100W), crystal orientation increased, which is attributed to higher energy under higher power. When sputtering power exceeded the value, excessive energy led to anti-sputtering hindering the process of further nucleation and growth of films. The transmittance of the films deposited under 100W reached the peak value of 78% on the scope of near-infrared light, and optical band gap (Eg) of 1.35ev. The resistivity of Cu3N films increased from 9.68×102Ω.cm to 2.12×103Ω.cm with increasing in sputtering power up to 100W.

In this paper, the optical properties and structure of CdS films were investigated by SEM, X-ray diffraction, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The CdS films in this study were deposited on the plane transparent glass by chemical bath deposition technique. The experimental results have shown that the annealing treatment has an important effect on the optical properties and structure of CdS films. This may be ascribed to decreasing surface contaminations and oxide content in the films.

Si and Ge ions are implanted into SiO2thin films, subsequently the annealing treatment are carried out. The samples exhibit photoluminescence (PL) peaks at 400, 470, 550 and 780 nm. With the annealing temperature increasing, the intensity of 400-470 nm PL band increases remarkably. After oxidation annealing treatment, the intensity of 400-470 nm PL band decreases, and that of 550 nm and 780 nm PL peaks rises. Combing with the results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and PL measurement, we propose that the PL peaks at 400 nm, 470 nm, 550 nm and 780 nm originate from ≡Ge−Si≡ center, ≡Si−Si≡ center, SPR center and GeO center, respectively.

The microstructure of magnesium alloy sheets (nominal composition Mg–6Zn–Y in at. %) was investigated with the Optical Microscope (OM), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) technique after the annealing treatment. Tensile test at room temperature was performed to show the influence of annealing treatment on mechanical properties. Experimental results indicate that there are a large number of twin crystals appearing in microstructure of the extruded Mg-Zn-Y alloy sheet at 350 °C. The distinct icosahedral phase appears on the α-Mg matrix in granular form and the strength gets largely improved to the maximum. The uniform distribution of isometric crystal contributes to the best elongation at the annealing temperature of 400 °C.

Fe/Cu nanometer-scale multilayers with nominal modulation wavelengths ranging from 5 to 40 nm are deposited by direct current magnetron sputtering on Si (100) substrates. Modulation structures of the multilayers are examined by small angle / wide angle x-ray diffraction (SA/WAXRD) and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM). Hardness of the multilayers is measured by using nanoindentation. All the multilayers have Fe (110) and Cu (111) textures. Interface coherency is observed in the multilayers with designed modulation wavelengths of 5 and 10 nm. The hardness increases firstly and then deceases with increasing the modulation wavelength, and reaches peak value of 7.29±0.29 GPa in the multilayers with nominal modulation wavelength of 10 nm. The evolution of the hardness of the mulitlayers is explained by interface width and modulus difference between sublayers.
