Abstract
Interaction of Pr/Dy with oxygen in nickel melts at PAr = 0.1 MPa and constant temperature was studied using the EMF instantaneous fixing method using a Mo[Cr/Cr2O3//ZrO2(MgO)//O(Nil)]Mo cell and certified sensors. Dependences a[O] = f[Pr/Dy, %] expressed in the form of logarithmic equations made it possible to compare them with each other in the concentration range of 0.001–0.2 wt % of each deoxidizer and determine that the deoxidizing ability of Pr is 1.7 times higher compared to Dy. The activity of oxygen a[O] in Ni–O–Al–(Pr/Dy) melts was calculated in comparison with Al at a concentration of 0.05 wt % of elements and its sevenfold decrease was shown for the first deoxidizer and elevenfold for the second. The morphology of nonmetallic inclusions in metallographic sections of Ni–O–Pr/Dy alloys has been studied, indicating that the inclusions are located along grain boundaries and have different configurations and a complex heterophase composition. Analysis of nonmetallic inclusions with the maximum content of deoxidizing element proved the existence of Pr/Dy oxygen compounds, which confirmed the data of thermodynamic and mass spectrometric studies. The average content of Zr in nonmetallic inclusions during the deoxidation of Pr is two times higher than in experiments during the deoxidation of Dy, which indicates the interaction of Pr/Dy with the EMF ZrO2 sensor and the preferential interaction of Pr compared to Dy and correlates with the data on the determination of a[O].
期刊介绍:
Inorganic Materials: Applied Research contains translations of research articles devoted to applied aspects of inorganic materials. Best articles are selected from four Russian periodicals: Materialovedenie, Perspektivnye Materialy, Fizika i Khimiya Obrabotki Materialov, and Voprosy Materialovedeniya and translated into English. The journal reports recent achievements in materials science: physical and chemical bases of materials science; effects of synergism in composite materials; computer simulations; creation of new materials (including carbon-based materials and ceramics, semiconductors, superconductors, composite materials, polymers, materials for nuclear engineering, materials for aircraft and space engineering, materials for quantum electronics, materials for electronics and optoelectronics, materials for nuclear and thermonuclear power engineering, radiation-hardened materials, materials for use in medicine, etc.); analytical techniques; structure–property relationships; nanostructures and nanotechnologies; advanced technologies; use of hydrogen in structural materials; and economic and environmental issues. The journal also considers engineering issues of materials processing with plasma, high-gradient crystallization, laser technology, and ultrasonic technology. Currently the journal does not accept direct submissions, but submissions to one of the source journals is possible.
