The theoretical background and the advantages of the present method are discussed. As a demonstration, the standard Gibbs energy change of the reaction, Sr 3 Cr 2 O 8 + 1/2Cr 2 O 3 + 5/4O 2 → 3SrCrO 4 was estimated by electrical conductivity measurements of two kinds of Sr 3 Cr 2 O 8 oxides, one equilibrated with Sr 3 Cr 2 O 8 and the other with Cr 2 O 3 . The standard Gibbs energy change of the reaction is obtained as ΔG°/kJ mol -1 = -409 + 0.252T (±10), 1323 ∼ 1373 K. The resulting value is in good agreement with that obtained by measurement of the equilibrium oxygen pressure using a solid oxygen concentration cell.","PeriodicalId":18264,"journal":{"name":"Materials Transactions Jim","volume":"58 1","pages":"1646-1650"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73661937","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}

When a thin foil of reactive metal, Al, Ti, Zr, or Nb, was applied as the intermediate layer, the bond strength of SiC to Cu was improved considerably. In contrast, when an intermediate layer of Fe, Ni, or Ag was applied, the SiC specimen separated from the Cu specimen immediately after the bonding operation without the application of external load, similar to the case of bonding without an intermediate layer. During friction bonding with an intermediate layer of reactive metal, the intermediate layer was mechanically mixed with Cu lo form a very complicated microstructure extending over a region as wide as a few 100 μm TEM observations have revealed that very thin reaction layers between the SiC and reactive metals were formed. When the Ti intermediate layer was applied, a TiC layer 10-30 nm thick was formed over almost the entire area along the interface, and between this layer and the SiC matrix a very thin layer of a Cu solid solution was detected. On the other side of the TiC layer, a Ti 5 Si 3 layer ∼100 nm thick was partially observed. When the Nb or Zr intermediate layer was applied, a very thin interfacial layer, in which Nb or Zr was significantly concentrated, was observed in addition to the reaction layers of Nb 5 Si 3 , NbC, and ZrC. These interfacial layers can he characterized by their much smaller thickness and finer grain size than those observed in diffusion-bonded and brazed joints. Apart from the layers mentioned above, amorphous silicon oxide layers were occasionally observed, suggesting that the reactive metal enhanced the removal of the oxide film on the SiC surface.","PeriodicalId":18264,"journal":{"name":"Materials Transactions Jim","volume":"41 1","pages":"1636-1645"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78101243","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 structure in the liquid phase is considered to be similar to that in liquid metals.

The temperature vs. time was recorded during the cooling and solidilication process of the melt and compared with a spacial and temporal numerical simulation of that process. It is concluded that good thermal contact is maintained between the amorphous part of the solidified sample and the mould, while a rather poor contact develops between the crystalline part of the sample and the mould, probably due to the appearance of a narrow gap at the crystal-mould interface during crystallisation. The maximum amorphous layer thickness decreases from ∼3 mm to zero when the Al content increases in the range from 0 to about y = 10%. The evolution of the microstructure of the initially amorphous phase was examined by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) for different alloy compositions and annealing temperatures. On annealing into the supercooled liquid state (441 K), specimens with no Al content remain basically amorphous while nanoparticles are formed and remain stable also at higher temperatures in specimens containing a few percent Al. The alloy with no Al crystallises apparently without the formation of nanoparticles. The critical cooling rate for the formation of an amorphous Mg 60 Cu 30 Y 10 specimen was determined experimentally by a combination of DSC data and temperature vs. time measurements to be 60-150 K/s, in agreement with estimates from the literature. The Vickers hardness (H V ) of the amorphous material for y = 2% is higher (∼360 kg/mm 2 ) than for y = 0 (∼290 kg/mm 2 ). On crystallisation the hardness of the latter material increases to the 400 kg/mm 2 level while the hardness of the former does not change.","PeriodicalId":18264,"journal":{"name":"Materials Transactions Jim","volume":"16 1","pages":"1435-1442"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79361296","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}

A through-thickness texture gradient is present in the as-received material. As will be seen, the predominant deformation mechanisms are different in the mid layer and in the outer regions of the 8090 sheet alloy. In the outer regions, the texture intensity decreases with deformation and no significant changes in the main components were observed, indicating the predominance of grain boundary sliding (GBS). In the mid-layer, however, texture sharpens with straining and major changes in the main texture components were detected, revealing that crystallographic slip (CS) plays an important role in the deformation of this zone. CS takes place mainly in two slip systems and causes the orientations to move along the β-fiber in Euler space, towards the Copper component in longitudinal tests and towards the Brass component in transverse tests. The comparably small ductility of the 8090 alloy, with respect to other similar superplastic aluminum alloys, may be due to the operation of CS in the mid-layer.","PeriodicalId":18264,"journal":{"name":"Materials Transactions Jim","volume":"2 1","pages":"1562-1568"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78369531","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}
