The effects of Ta additions (x=0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5) in Fe60.5-xNi28Al11.5Tax(at.%) shape memory alloys on microstructure, thermal expansion, and pseudoelasticity of the aged alloys were investigated by metallurgical microscope, X-ray diffraction, SEM, EDS, high-temperature dilatometer spectrometer and pressure test machine. The results showed that with the increment of Ta additions, the γ' phase content increased which strengthened the austenitic matrix, meanwhile the compressive strength, the recoverable strain and the maximum strain of the aging state alloys decreased first and then increased, and the alloy’s residual strain firstly decreased and then increased. When the Ta content was 1.0 at.%, the alloy’s compressive strength, recoverable strain and plastic deformation strain reached its maximum value, 2.5Gpa, 14.4%, and 16.0% respectively. Thus, the alloy had the best pseudo-elastic at this time. The mean thermal expansion coefficient of the alloys decreased with Ta additions, when the Ta content was 1.0 at.%, the mean thermal expansion coefficient was at its minimum.

The glass-ceramics of MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 system were prepared by sintering technology. The crystallization process of MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 glass-ceramics was investigated with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and other techniques; the discussion of breaking strength, thermal expansion coefficient and relevant properties at different sintering temperatures was also presented. The results show that: (1) The main crystalline phase isα-cordierite at different sintering temperatures, and the samples show high flexural strength and low thermal expansion coefficient; (2) with the increase of sintering temperature, the content of crystal phase increases, while the thermal expansion coefficient decreases evidently, the flexural strength and tightness density rise up first, then go down.

The linear thermal expansivity of polycrystalline silver iodide has been measured with a "Fused-Quartz Tube" apparatus in the temperature range 170 - 500 °C, the mean linear thermal expansion coefficient beingαt180=(2.607 + 0.00182 t) 10-5 (°C-1).An irregular change in the thermal expansivity was found close to 432 °C where an order-disorder transition has been reported.

The Invar effect in 3D transition metal such as Ni and Mn, were prepared on a series composition of binary Ni1-xMnx system with x=0.3, 0.5, 0.8 by using powder metallurgy technique. In this work, the characterization of structural and thermal properties have been investigated experimentally by X-ray diffraction, thermal expansion coefficient and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) techniques. The results show that anonymously negative thermal expansion coefficient are changeable in the structure. The results were explained due to the instability relation between magnetic spins with lattice distortion on some of ferromagnetic metals.

Due to the long-term durability and the excellent resistance to aging degradation, metal gaskets are expected to endure a longer life compared to conventional polymer gaskets. However, the nature of high elastic modulus of the metal reduces the sealing performance at interface. The authors have paid attention to the super elasticity of the shape memory alloys like Nickel-Titanium (Ni-Ti) alloy and evaluated its applicability to a gasket. In the process, leakage tests of the flange connections with Ni-Ti alloy gaskets were done and the sealing performance was evaluated with the new gasket constants and the tightness parameter proposed by PVRC (Pressure Vessel Research Council, ASME). The results revealed that Ni-Ti alloy gaskets showed a superior sealing performance to the conventional aluminum gasket. However, the thermal expansion coefficient of Ni-Ti alloy is smaller than that of stainless steel of which the flange is made. The increase in temperature of the flange like 20 °C to 40 °C accordingly induced a slight degradation of the sealing performance. In this paper, the effect of the change in temperature on the sealing performance of the pipe flange connections with Ni-Ti alloy gasket was numerically evaluated with the measured thermal expansion coefficient. Moreover, the effect of the clamped temperature on the sealing performance was evaluated taking into account the temperature dependence of the mechanical properties of Ni-Ti alloy.
