In the present work, Al-Ca metallic compound was prepared in Mg-Ca alloys and the effects of Al-Ca metallic compound and different Al/Ca values on the grain refinement of Mg-Ca alloys were investigated by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, and the mechanism of grain refinement of Mg-Ca alloys was discussed. The results showed that the grain size of Mg-0.5Ca alloy was obviously reduced from 550μm to 230μm due to the addition of Al. Al2Ca phase existed in these alloys and its morphology evolved from granular to rod-like. It is regarded as the main factor for the grain refinement.

The influence of the light burning temperature on the sintering property of nature dolomite has been investigated by two-step sintering process in the temperature range 1500 °C to 1600 °C. The resulting bulk densities and apparent porosities of the sintered dolomite samples were examined, and analyzing the sintered dolomite by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were performed. The results showed light burned at 850 °C for 3 h, the main phases of the dolomite with 3-5 grain size were MgO, CaO and little CaCO3, and then fired at 1600 °C,the density of sintering dolomite reached to 3.38 g/cm3, the apparent property was 1.2 %, the size of MgO grain up to 3.75 μm . However when dolomite light burned at 1050 °C for 3 h, the main phases were MgO and CaO, and then fired at 1600 °C,the density of sintering dolomite only was 3.30 g/cm3, the apparent property was 2.3 %, the size of MgO only was 3.05 μm .

Nanocrystalline nickel powders were prepared with grain size 'd' in the range 40–100 nm diameters through polyol method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used for characterization. XRD of the prepared samples consistently matched with standard fcc structure of nickel without any impurity peak. Detailed analysis and calculations using Scherrer equation for (111) peak revealed systematic increase in line width and peak shifting towards lower diffraction 2θ angles with decrease in nickel to ethylene glycol mole ratio. Different values of d estimated from various peaks of each sample suggested associated microstrains in the nanograins. Values of d estimated from X-ray diffraction patterns were compared with those obtained from atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy results, and discussed. Observed lattice expansion is explained, on the basis of a theoretical model of linear elasticity.

The effect of Ti and Sb elements addition on the microstructures and corrosion resistance of hot-dip galvanized Zn-11Al-3Mg alloy was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Electrochemical workstation, respectively. Results showed that the grain size of the alloy was obviously refined with the addition of Ti and Sb elements, due to Al3Ti phase as the nucleation substrate resulted in the transformation of Al-rich phase from dendrite to petal-like. In addition, the pitting corrosion resistance of the alloy has been significantly enhanced.

The nanocomposites ferrites (BaFe12O19/Ni0.3Cu0.2Zn0.5Al­0.5Fe1.5O4) with (x=10,25,50,75,90%) were prepared by sol-gel auto combustion. The micro-structural features of the samples were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The results were compared which show that the grain size of the nano composites which prepared by sol-gel auto combustion about (25-46) nm.   http://dx.doi.org/10.25130/tjps.24.2019.075

ABSTRACTImpedance Spectroscopy, X-Ray Diffraction and High Resolution Scanning Electron Microscopy have been used to study the effect of extremely fine grain size on electrical properties such as dc-conductivity and activation energies in nanocrystalline Y-stabilized tetragonal zirconia. The samples were prepared from powders produced by the Inert Gas condensation method. X-Ray Diffraction was used to characterize phase and average grain size of the sample. In addition, grain size and microstructure of the sample was examined using High Resolution Scanning Electron Microscopy. With Impedance Spectroscopy relaxations of O−2-ions in the lattice and in the grain boundaries could be resolved. The dc-conductivities of the lattice and the grain boundaries were deduced from the data. The activation energies for ac- and dc-conductivity of the lattice and grain boundary relaxation are reported.

The aim of this study was to obtain 4.5%mol Y2O3-doped ZrO2dense with submicrometer grain size and studying the effects of using oxygen flow during calcination in the electrical properties of bodies sintered. The powders were synthesized by the Pechini method. After synthesis, the resins were dried and the calcinations were performed in air and in oxygen flow at 600°C for 2 h. The powders were pressed with 1600 MPa and sintered by Two Step Sintering (TSS) at 1500°C / 5 min and 1200°C, 1300oC, 1400°C, remaining at these temperatures for 2 and 10 hours. The sinterized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, apparent density, scanning electron microscopy and impedance spectroscopy. The apparent densities were greater than 94% for all conditions of calcination and sintering. The value of the activation energy was 0.7eV for the grain and 0.9 eV for the grain boundaries.

ABSTRACT Fluorosis is a condition due to ingestion of excessive amounts of fluor which can cause the change the teeth structure and strength. Currently, a little explanation was available to describe the surface and change of nanostructure crystal hydroxyapatite which contribute to influence the macrocharacteristic of fluorosis enamel. Aims and objectives To describe the change of surface structure, c-axis, a-axis and grain size of crystal hydroxyapatite on fluorosis enamel. Materials and methods This research was carried out the fluorosis and normal enamel specimen by using scanning electron microscopy/ energy disperse X-ray (SEM/EDX) to determine fluor concentration and the surfaces structure of fluorosis enamel, and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) to determine change of c- and a-axis of hydroxyapatite of fluorosis enamel. Results Fluor concentration were higher in fluorosis enamel and the surface increasingly roughness and porous. SEM/EDX also confirmed gaps areas between enamel rods and visible aprismatic zone in some regions. The axis on fluorosis enamel was a-axis = 9.3786 Å and c-axis = 6.8836 Å. The a-axis on normal enamel was = 9.4148 Å and c-axis = 6.8791 Å. Grain size of fluorosis enamel was 19.59 nm and normal enamel was 20.30 nm. Conclusion Fluor as most electronegative element changes the c-axis, a-axis, and grain size of crystal hydroxyapatite and generates the internal atomic bonding which influences the stability of enamel strength.

AZO nanometer powders were prepared by combustion synthesis. The influence on the synthesis of AZO nanometer powders were investigated in conditions of using single fuel or dual fuel by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. The results showed that the AZO powders were well-distributed with smaller grain size when using dual fuel.
