It has been established that the textures of the coating materials especially that of the α-Al2O3 greatly affect the cut performance for some applications. The characterization of the coating texture is thus very important. In this paper, inverse pole figures of α-Al2O3 based on XRD with Bragg Brentano geometry were calculated for several metal cutting inserts available in the market. This method is simple, less time-consuming and can be applied to previously collected data and is compared with that of the EBSD. Despite several differences, IPF maps based on XRD powder diffraction represent the texture of metal cutting inserts.","PeriodicalId":20333,"journal":{"name":"Powder Diffraction","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45193314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both RIR and Rietveld whole pattern fitting methods were used in the analyses. A block refined, parameter restricted, Rietveld method produced the best QPA results by comparison with known mixtures. Similar to prior literature findings, care has to be taken because of the severe peak overlap of the major calcium silicate and calcium aluminate phases in Portland cement and the complexity of the chemistry and structures involved. Two of the four major phases identified are doped supercells and the major C3S phase is also disordered.","PeriodicalId":20333,"journal":{"name":"Powder Diffraction","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57031561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After reduction, the studied perovskites changed crystal structure from the perovskite crystal structure to a cubic symmetry, with space group $Pmbar{3}m$. The reduction partially decomposed the samples to Ni0 (Co free perovskite), Ni0–Co0, La2O3, La2TiO5, and non-stoichiometric La2NiO4, depending on H2 content of the reductive gases. The degree of reduction of nickel from LaNi0.5Ti0.5O3 reduced with 1.8% H2/Ar and 10% H2/Ar was equal to 36.5% and 95.3%, respectively, while that from LaNi0.5Ti0.45Co0.05O3 or LaNi0.45Co0.05Ti0.5O3, including cobalt, reduced with 10% H2/Ar, was equal to 71.9% and 93.9%, respectively. LaNi0.5Ti0.45Co0.05O3 showed Ni3+ and Co3+ amounts higher than the other perovskites. By increasing H2 content in the reductive mixture from 1.8% to 10%, sintering of metallic nickel was not observed. Moreover, Ni0 displayed weaker metal–support interaction than that observed for Co0, where the support was composed of La containing oxides. LaNi0.5Ti0.5O3 perovskite was used as a catalyst for steam reforming of methane. Syngas production was attributed to the number of Ni sites determined using Rietveld Refinement of X-ray diffraction pattern of this catalyst after the reaction.","PeriodicalId":20333,"journal":{"name":"Powder Diffraction","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41764789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The X-ray diffraction pattern collected with a two-dimensional detector may contain one or several spotty diffraction rings when an appropriate X-ray beam size is used. The spottiness of the diffraction ring is related to the size, size distribution, and orientation distribution of the crystallites. The intensity of a diffraction spot may represent its volume or size of a crystallite when a perfect Bragg condition is met.
