The calculated positron lifetimes in CoAl can explain the compositional dependence of the positron lifetimes in CoAl. The calculated positron lifetime at the Ti vacancy in CoTi is longer than that at the Co vacancy. The charge transfer from Ti to Co leads to the difference of the localization of the positron wave function at the vacancy. At the Co vacancy site surrounded by the positively charged Ti atoms, the positron wave function does not localize as well as at the Ti vacancy site, which decrease the positron lifetime. The calculated results suggest that the positron lifetimes in intermetallic compounds can not be directly correlated to those of the pure component and the charge transfer between the constituent atoms affects the localization of the positron wave function.","PeriodicalId":18264,"journal":{"name":"Materials Transactions Jim","volume":"81 1","pages":"1451-1455"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88161787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The total energies predict that the P3 structure is most stable among the four structures and in the P3 structure the added iron atoms prefer the 1c site. It is also revealed that the approach between a nickel (or iron) atom at the 1c site and a titanium atom at the 1c site in the P3 structure plays an important role in stabilizing the P3 structure.

Potentiodynamic polarisation tests were conducted to investigate the cathodic hydrogen reduction reactions on the surface of melt-spun Zr 55 Cu 30 Al 10 Ni 5 and Zr 65 Cu 17.5 Al 7.5 Ni 10 ribbons. In the Tafel region, the electrodic desorption reaction is the rate-determining step which competes with the hydrogen absorption reaction. In the next polarisation region, the hydrogen reduction takes place under mass transfer-control. The ribbons are galvanostatically charged with hydrogen to different hydrogen-to-metal ratios in 0.1 mol/l NaOH solution. The rate of hydrogen absorption of the Zr 55 Cu 30 Al 10 Ni 5 alloy is higher than that of the Zr 65 Cu 17.5 Al 7.5 Ni 10 alloy, although the hydrogen discharge rate on the surface of the Zr 65 Cu 17.5 Al 7.5 Ni 10 alloy is higher. Upon charging the samples at room temperature to H/M = 1.3 using a low charging rate (-1 mA/cm 2 ), the X-ray diffraction pattern show the main peaks of a Zr-hydride and Cu and/or a Cu rich phase(s) besides the amorphous phase. The potentiostatic double-pulse technique (PDP) was applied to estimate the fraction of reversibly absorbed hydrogen in the amorphous alloy samples by charging at different cathodic potentials. Subsequently, the residual hydrogen concentration (irreversibly absorbed hydrogen) was determined by hot extraction.

This robot has a parallel structure including a fixed plate and a moving plate. The plates are linked together by 3 SMA wires and a mechanical spring is located in the central part. Possible applications are the control devices to orient a mirror, a sample under a microscope or to orient the head of a micro snake like robot. The paper explains the kinematic model, the mechanical design and the control system of the robot. The feedback signals of the closed loop control system are the displacements of the SMA joints located on the moving plate, measured by three conductive potentiometers. The control system is P.C. based. The SMA actuators are driven by Nitinol wires of a diameter of 0.15 mm. The robot takes up a cylinder with a diameter of 100 mm and a height of 180 mm. A prototype of the robot has been manufactured and some experimental tests were carried out. These tests are carried out both using a simple test bed made by a SMA wire and a pulley, and using the prototype itself. The step response of a single SMA wire and the trajectory control to describe a circle in the prototype are also shown as validation tests of the robot. The results of the experimental validation show the feasibility of this design, but particular attention has to be paid to the machining and to the assembly.","PeriodicalId":18264,"journal":{"name":"Materials Transactions Jim","volume":"56 1","pages":"1015-1022"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88890372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Shibata, Soek-Jong Seo, Masashi Kaga, H. Uchino, Akio Sasanuma, K. Asakura, C. Nagasaki","doi":"10.2320/MATERTRANS.43.292","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2320/MATERTRANS.43.292","url":null,"abstract":"The most serious problem in the recycling of steel is the occurrence of surface hot shortness during hot deformation due to the mixing of Cu from scrap into steels. Tin accelerates the effect of Cu. The surface hot shortness is caused by liquid embrittlement, that is, formation of the liquid Cu-enriched phase through preferential oxidation of Fe atoms at the steel/scale interface during heating for hot deformation and penetration of this Cu-enriched phase into the grain boundaries. Decrease in the amount of the liquid Cu-enriched phase penetrating into grain boundaries can suppress the surface hot shortness. The amount of the liquid Cu-enriched phase penetrating into the grain boundaries can be reduced by the suppression of oxidation, occlusion of the Cu-enriched phase into the scale, back-diffusion of Cu into the steel matrix and suppression of penetration of the liquid Cu-enriched phase. Therefore, the effects of various elements and conditions of heating and deformation on the surface hot shortness, oxidation, amount of the Cu-enriched phase at the interface and the penetration were examined by tensile tests at high temperatures, thermogravimetry and optical microscopy. The conclusion can be summarized as follows. Silicon, Mn, S (+Mn) and B reduce the susceptibility to the surface hot shortness through decreasing the amount of Cu-enriched phase at the steel/scale interface. The effect of Si is significant. Carbon reduces the oxidation rate in LNG combustion gas. Phosphorus, Si, B and C reduce the susceptibility to the surface hot shortness through restraining the penetration of the Cu-enriched phase into grain boundaries. Heating at higher temperatures reduces the susceptibility mainly through a reduction in the amount of the Cu-enriched phase at the steel/scale interface, although the loss of steels by oxidation increases. A large grain size accelerates the surface hot shortness. A small amount of H 2 O in air significantly accelerates the surface hot shortness. Effects of H 2 O in heating atmosphere depend on the steel composition and more detailed research on this is desired. Very slow deformation does not cause liquid embrittlement through dynamical re-crystallization, while at a fast deformation rate the embrittlement is suppressed by an increase in the critical stress for the liquid embrittlement. Multiple methods using physical metallurgy suggested by the present research for suppressing the surface hot shortness should be applied together with other methods through separation, smelting and design of fabrication in order to promote the recycling of steels.","PeriodicalId":18264,"journal":{"name":"Materials Transactions Jim","volume":"11 1","pages":"292-300"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83279637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reaction parameters, such as base, solvent, palladium-phosphine catalyst and CO pressure in the reaction of 2,7-dibromo-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene (1) and 4,4'-diaminodipheyl ether (2a), were very important for successful synthesis. They affected the molecular weight of resulting aramid significantly.

The procedure was applied to some other diamines. The aramid 3a was heat-resistant and soluble in polar organic solvent. On the basis of thermal analysis, 10% weight loss temperature (T 10 ) of the aramid was 461°C. The tensile strength and tensile modulus were 48 MPa and 1.6 GPa, respectively; these properties are roughly in the same level as those of conventional unsaturated polyester resin.
