This research investigates the effect of heat treatment on the isothermal oxidation behaviour of Fe-33Ni-19Cr alloy. The samples were undergone heat treatment at three different temperatures namely, 1000oC, 1100oC and 1200oC for 120 minutes of soaking time followed by water quench to differ the grain size of alloy. The heat-treated sample was ground by using SiC paper atP600 finished. The samples were weighed using analytical balance and the surface area was measured before oxidation test. The heat-treated Fe-33Ni-19Cr alloys were isothermally oxidized at 850oC for 150 hours. The characterization on oxidized samples were carried out using scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive x-ray (SEM-EDX) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). The result shows that, the average grain size increases as the heat treatment temperature increased. Fine grain size develops higher grain boundary area which acts as an ion diffusion path across the metal-gas interface during oxide formation. HT1000 sample with fine grain structure shows minimum weight gain and low oxidation rate compared to HT1100 and HT1200 samples. Uniform oxide layerformed on surface of the fine grain size sample. Whereas spallation of oxide scales was identified on the coarse grain size sample. Phase analysis shows that the oxidized sample formed several oxide phase.

This research study describes the influence of different heat treatment temperature on isothermal oxidation of Fe-33Ni-18Cr alloy. The Fe-33Ni-18Cr alloy was undergone heat treatment at three different temperatures, namely 1000 °C, 1100 °C and 1200 °C for 3h soaking time followed by water quench to vary the grain size of the alloy. This alloy was ground by using several grit of silicon carbide papers as well as weighed by using analytical balance and measured by using Vernier caliper before oxidation test. The heat-treated Fe-33Ni-18Cr alloy was isothermally oxidized at 800 °C for 150h. The characterization of oxidized samples was carried out using optical microscope, scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive x-ray (SEM-EDX) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that, increasing the heat treatment temperature was increased the average grain size. The kinetics of oxidation followed the parabolic rate law which represents diffusion-controlled oxide growth rate. Fine grain structure of 1000 °C sample shows minimum weight gain and lower oxidation rate compared to samples of 1100 °C and 1200 °C that indicated oxide spallation and porous structure. Besides, phase analysis showed that the oxidized sample formed several oxide phases.

This research study was focused on the effect of heat treatment on the isothermal oxidation of Fe-33Ni-18Cr alloy at 1000 °C. The Fe-33Ni-18Cr alloy was undergone heat treatment at three different temperatures, namely 1000 °C, 1100 °C and 1200 °C for 3 hours soaking time followed by water quench to vary the grain size of the alloy. The heat-treated alloys was prepared for further isothermal oxidation test. The heat-treated alloys was ground by using several grit of silicon carbide papers as well as weighed by using analytical balance and measured by using Vernier caliper before the oxidation test. The heat-treated Fe-33Ni-18Cr alloys was isothermally oxidized at 1000 °C for 150 hours exposure time. The characterization of the oxidized samples was carried out using optical microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The heat treatment result shows that, increasing the heat treatment temperature was increased the average grain size of the alloy. The kinetics of oxidation was followed the parabolic rate law which represent the diffusion-controlled oxide growth rate. Fine grain structure of 1000i-1000 sample shows minimum weight gain and lower oxidation rate compared to samples of 1000i-1100 and 1000i-1200. On the other hand, 1000i-1100 and 1000i-1200 samples indicate the formation of oxide spallation and crack propagation on the oxidized surface, respectively.

The microstructure, pole figure and r -value of the frictionally rolled and subsequently heat treated AA 5052 Al sheets were investigated by optical microscopy, x-ray diffractometer and tensile tester, respectively. Frictionally rolled AA 5052 Al specimens showed a fine grain size. After subsequently heat treated specimens, the ND//<111> texture component was increased. The r -values of the frictionally rolled and subsequently heat treated Al alloy sheets were about two times higher than those of the original Al sheets. These could be related to the formation of ND//<111> texture components through frictional rolling in and subsequent heat treatment of AA 5052 Al sheet.

The study of isothermal oxidation of Fe-Ni-Cr alloy was done at 900 °C for 500 hours. The effect of oxidation kinetics and oxide growth behavior on Fe-Ni-Cr alloy were investigated on heat-treated Fe-Ni-Cr alloy to understand the oxidation mechanism on different grain size of alloy. The grain size of Fe-Ni-Cr alloy was varying through heat treatment process at three different temperatures, namely 1000 °C, 1100 °C and 1200 °C for 3 hours soaking time followed by water quench. The heat-treated Fe-Ni-Cr alloy was experienced discontinuous isothermal oxidation test at 900 °C up to 500 hours exposure. The oxidation kinetics plot was calculated based on the weight change per surface area over time. The oxide surface morphology was characterized by using scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectrometer. The heat treatment process recorded an increasing grain size alloy as the heat treatment temperature increase. 8H10 sample indicate the fine grain size, whereas 8H12 sample indicate the coarse grain size. The oxidation kinetics of all samples exhibit the weight gain pattern with fine grain 8H10 sample recorded the lowest weight gain compared to 8H11 and 8H12 samples. All samples were obeyed parabolic rate law indicating the oxide growth rate followed a diffusion-controlled mechanism. The oxide surface morphology of 8H10 sample displayed a continuous oxide scales with formation of grain boundary oxide along the grain boundary area. Similar oxide structure formed on 8H11 and 8H12 samples, except for the formation of crack on the grain boundary oxide on both samples. In addition, 8H12 sample also formed a porous oxide structure.

Strength And Ductility

The Co-20Cr-15W-10Ni (CCWN, mass%) alloy has excellent corrosion resistance and strength-ductility balance and is applied in almost all balloon-expandable stent platforms. To further reduce the invasiveness of stent placement, it is necessary to reduce the diameter of the stent. That is, both high strength and high ductility should be achieved while maintaining a low yield stress. In our previous studies, it was discovered that low-temperature heat-treatment (LTHT) at 873 K improves the elongation of the CCWN alloy. In this study, we focused on the grain refinement by swaging and static recrystallization to improve the strength of the alloy. The as-swaged alloy was recrystallized at 1373–1473 K for 100–300 s, followed by LTHT. A fine grain structure with an average grain size of 3–17 μm was obtained by static recrystallization. The η-phase (M12X-M6X type precipitates, M: metallic elements, X: C and/or N) formed during the recrystallization at 1373–1448 K. The alloys recrystallized at 1448 and 1473 K had a homogeneous structure with a small variation in the grain size. On the other hand, the alloys recrystallized at 1373 and 1423 K had an inhomogeneous structure in which fine and coarse grains were mixed. Both the strength and ductility of the CCWN alloy were improved by combining high-temperature short-time recrystallization and LTHT.

Different Grain Size

The isothermal oxidation behavior of two different grain size of Fe-33Ni-19Cr alloys was investigated at 700 °C in laboratory air. Different grain size of alloyed was made of solution annealing treatment at different temperatures, namely, 1050 °C and 1150 °C for fine and coarse grain, respectively. Optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were employed in this study to analyze the oxidation behavior of solution-annealed samples. Results indicate that the fine grain size solution-annealed alloys possess a better oxidation resistance and reduced oxidation rate than the coarse grain. The differences observed are attributed to the finer grains increasing the relaxation of the oxide scale stress and improving the adhesion of the oxide layer on the matrix.

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.

Zno Powders

Nanocrystalline ZnO powders are synthesized using a quick, simple and inexpensive combustion method. Glycine and zinc nitrate, used as fuel and oxidant/cation sources respectively, were mixed together at room temperature to form a slurry or gel. A series of experiments were performed to synthesize nanoparticles for different fuel to oxidant ratios. The rate of heating and stirring greatly influenced the combustion process. The as-synthesized powder was heat treated at elevated temperatures for varying time to remove adsorbed impurities from the surface of the ZnO nanoparticles. Both the as-synthesized and heat treated powders were characterized using a variety of analytical techniques. The hexagonal wurtzite phase of the ZnO powder was revealed from x-ray diffraction measurements. A decrease in the x-ray diffraction density (Dx) and the bulk density (D) resulted in an increase in percentage porosity (%P) of as-synthesized and heat treated ZnO powders. The range of fuel to oxidant ratios used in the present work indicates that they had a strong influence on the grain size of ZnO powders. The average grain size estimated by using the Scherer formula indicated an approximate value of 6-21 nm for the as-synthesized and heat treated samples.

INTRODUCTIONThe prospect of performing chemical analysis of thin specimens at any desired level of resolution is particularly appealing to the materials scientist. Commercial TEM-based systems are now available which virtually provide this capability. The purpose of this contribution is to illustrate its application to problems which would have been intractable until recently, pointing out some current limitations.X-RAY ANALYSISIn an attempt to fabricate superconducting materials with high critical currents and temperature, thin Nb3Sn films have been prepared by electron beam vapor deposition [1]. Fine-grain size material is desirable which may be achieved by codeposition with small amounts of Al2O3 . Figure 1 shows the STEM microstructure, with large (∽ 200 Å dia) voids present at the grain boundaries. Higher quality TEM micrographs (e.g. fig. 2) reveal the presence of small voids within the grains which are absent in pure Nb3Sn prepared under identical conditions. The X-ray spectrum from large (∽ lμ dia) or small (∽100 Ǻ dia) areas within the grains indicates only small amounts of A1 (fig.3).

This study evaluated the microstructure, grain size, and mechanical properties of the alloy 800H rotary friction welds in as-welded and post-weld heat-treated conditions. The standards for the alloy 800H not only specify the composition and mechanical properties but also the minimum grain sizes. This is because these alloys are mostly used in creep resisting applications. The dynamic recrystallization of the highly strained and plasticized material during friction welding resulted in the fine grain structure (20 ± 2 µm) in the weld zone. However, a small increase in grain size was observed in the heat-affected zone of the weldment with a slight decrease in hardness compared to the base metal. Post-weld solution heat treatment (PWHT) of the friction weld joints increased the grain size (42 ± 4 µm) in the weld zone. Both as-welded and post-weld solution heat-treated friction weld joints failed in the heat-affected zone during the room temperature tensile testing and showed a lower yield strength and ultimate tensile strength than the base metal. A fracture analysis of the failed tensile samples revealed ductile fracture features. However, in high-temperature tensile testing, post-weld solution heat-treated joints exhibited superior elongation and strength compared to the as-welded joints due to the increase in the grain size of the weld metal. It was demonstrated in this study that the minimum grain size requirement of the alloy 800H friction weld joints could be successfully met by PWHT with improved strength and elongation, especially at high temperatures.
