The degrees of the B2 and L21 atomic ordering for the as-cast samples, obtained from intensity ratios of (200) and (111) peaks respectively related to (220) peak of the Xray patterns, are significantly improved after annealing at 700 800 °C for 72 h. The diminution of the substitutional disorder is essential in these types of compounds, as the half-metallic character and the magnetic properties are primarily influenced by this factor. Introduction Heusler alloys are ternary intermetallic compounds of the L21 structure with stoichiometric composition X2YZ, where X and Y are usually two different transition metals and Z is a nonmagnetic element [1]. Earlier studies have shown that Mn2VAl Heusler alloy is a half-metallic ferrimagnet [2-5]. This compound is characterized by an antiparallel coupling between the Mn and V magnetic moments, the total spin moment being 2 μB per formula unit [2, 3]. The high Curie temperature of 760 K [3] makes it interesting for spintronic applications. The spin compensation in Mn2−xCoxVAl alloy was induced by progressive substitution of Co for Mn and a fully compensated ferrimagnetic behavior has been experimentally obtained for the MnCoVAl alloy [4]. The presence of a considerable atomic disorder in the Mn2VAl compound due to the intermixing of the V and Al atoms has been reported [5]. Previous studies have shown that the magnetic properties and the half-metallic character of these Heusler alloys are strongly influenced by the crystallographic disorder [1, 3, 6, 7]. The aim of the present work is to reduce the substitutional disorder by heat treatments in Mn2−xCoxVAl Heusler alloys. For the evaluation of the atomic ordering in the full Heusler alloys, the Takamura’s model has been used [8]. In order to determine and to adjust the ordering parameters defined in this model, X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and neutron diffraction studies have been performed.

An excess of 3 wt % of manganese was added to the stoichiometric mixture in order to compensate for preferential Mn evaporation during the melting processes. The samples were turned and remelted repeatedly in order to ensure homogeneity. The water-cooled copper crucible ensured a rapid cooling of the alloys after melting.

The synthesized powders samples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The investigation showed that the added types of surfactants have effects on the decrease of the crystallite size, on the CuO particles morphology, shape and uniform distribution as it is noticed in the XRD and SEM characterizations. Additionally, the FTIR spectra for all the powders samples showed the same Cu-O stretching vibration mode which indicates the presence of a crystalline CuO monoclinic structure. The obtained results create premises for further advanced the applications of CuO powders in various domains.

This research presents the experimental results concerning the processing of Ti based alloy by Two-Steps Sintering and Multiple-Steps Sintering, techniques belonging to PM technology. The initial powder mixture consists in TiH2 powder particles that have been combined with some metallic powders (Al, Mn, Sn, Zr) for improving the final mechanic-chemicals and functional properties for using in the automotive industry. As a result it was studied the physical-mechanical properties after sintering, the influence of the sintering temperature and time on the microstructural changes of the composite material based on titanium. Introduction Titanium alloys have multiple applications in diverse fields such as industrial and medical fields [1-4]. This is due to their excellent performances such as: low density, good corrosion resistance, non-magnetic properties, high specific strength, high chemical stability, resistant to high temperatures, etc. [5, 6]. The basic advantages of titanium alloys in terms of the automotive industry are the high strength to density, their low density, the outstanding corrosion resistance [7, 8]. In the automotive field, one of the greatest applications of titanium-based materials is for components of the internal combustion engine area that equip the vehicle (pistons, valves, connecting rod, crank caps, bolts, etc.) [9, 10]. Also, for modern jet turbine engines titanium alloys usually represent approximately 30% of the used materials, especially in the forward zone of the engine [11]. However, compared to other traditional materials, the major impediment represents the high cost of titanium [12]. Another disadvantage of titanium for applications in the automotive industry is its low tribological properties because of poor plastic shearing resistance and work hardening ability [13, 14]. Using inexpensive alloying elements (such as Sn, Mn, Fe, Cr, etc.) instead of expensive alloying metals (V, Nb, Mo, Zr, etc.) to improve the strengthen alloys is one of the methods to reduce the cost of manufacturing titanium alloys [15]. Due to the properties they possess, by alloying Ti with small amounts of aluminium percentage a Ti-Al (γ Ti-Al) alloy is obtained with excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance at Powder Metallurgy and Advanced Materials – RoPM&AM 2017 Materials Research Forum LLC Materials Research Proceedings 8 (2018) 200-211 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.21741/9781945291999-23 201 temperatures above 700°C, which allows the replacement for traditional Ni based superalloy for turbine engine components [16].

The authentication of the security paper is realised with a special detector, by “YES” or “NO” answer. This paper can be used as anti-shoplifting or validating elements to identify the counterfeit products. The paper presents the experimental results related to the retention of ferromagnetic microwires in the cellulose matrix, a complex process characterised by specific features, primarily due to the shape and diameter/length ratio of the microwires. The ferromagnetic retention yield was η = 65 – 90%, for the prepared papers with basis weight more than 50 g/m. Introduction Faced with increasing of goods counterfeiting, a wide range of methods are currently used to protect consumer goods, bank, state and commercial documents. Thanks to impossibility to produce security elements without proper equipment and under special conditions imposed by the very high degree of accuracy, the advanced technologies offer the solution, ensuring a high degree of protection against falsification. Investment and research efforts are being made to diversify the field of high security elements. The moment of launching the technology for glass-coated microwires (GMW) fabrication [1,2] has become revolutionary on the high-tech technology market, opening up the gates of a large variety of technological benefits for the existing applications and also setting the foundation for new applications [3-9].

The experimental results regarding the obtaining of W100-x/Cux nanocomposites (x between 20 and 45 wt. %) are presented. Composition of the mixtures influenced the particle size distribution namely, the higher is Cu content the larger dimensions of the particles will be attained. After 20 hours of high energy ball milling the crystallites size was about 30 nm for copper respectively 12 nm for tungsten and Cu atoms entered in the W structure. Introduction One of the specific classes of materials which are suitable for elaboration by Powder Metallurgy (PM) consists in pseudo-alloys based on W-Cu due to their mutual insolubility. These materials are very important due to their wide field of applicability such as: welding electrodes, nozzle liners for rockets and missiles, heat sink materials, high power electrical contacts, fission reactors and so on, applications that require high mechanical properties conferred, in this case by tungsten, combined with high electrical and thermal conductivity which are conferred by copper [1-6]. The properties of these materials are in correlation with their composition and morphology and because of that is very important to choose the right composition function of the application [7]. In the field of high power electrical contacts, W-Cu materials must have high arc erosion resistance high temperature strength and high tribological properties to ensure an as long as possible lifetime [8, 9]. Particle size of the component elements plays an important role in the final properties of WCu alloys [10]. One of the techniques used for fabrication of the W-Cu materials is the infiltration one, which consists in the formation of a porous skeleton by tungsten which will be filled with molten copper. Vacuum pulse carburisation was reported [11] to be an infiltration method that leads to the formation of W-30wt.%Cu material with core-shell structure which presents high electrical conductivity (46.55%IACS) compared to the national standard (GB/T8320-2003 – 42%IACS) and a friction coefficient μ=0.64.

The results pointed out that the silver thin films present higher values of the tribological and mechanical properties than the other two films when testing at room temperature. Increasing the testing temperature from 20 to 100 °C caused a decreased of both hardness and Young’s modulus with about 30 up to 55 %. Introduction The optical microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are formed in general by multi-layers of metallic thin films characterized by good optical properties. Over the last decades, the attention of the researchers was focused on developing different devices known as microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) that are satisfying the demands of the customers. The properties of the materials employed for manufacturing such devices determine its properties and its performance [1]. The optical MEMS are a category of MEMS devices that are combining the optical, mechanical, and electronic properties in a single device. They are used in the manufacture of optical sensors, attenuators, micro-lenses, micro-mirrors, displays and so on [2-5]. Aluminum [6, 7], gold [8, 9] and silver [10, 11] are one of the most used materials for manufacturing optical MEMS due to their physical, chemical, mechanical, and optical properties. These materials can be obtained as thin films by different methods such as thermal evaporation [6], magnetron sputtering [7-9], electron beam deposition [12], and so on. Arrazat and his colleagues reported their results concerning the evolution of gold thin films deposited by sputtering on silicon substrates. They investigated the deposited films by electron back scatter diffraction analyses that allowed them to study the reliability of micro-switches manufactured using gold thin films [13]. The growth of aluminum thin films and the interfacial precipitation between such films and the silicon substrates were studied by Dutta and his coworkers. They pointed out that at the interface between the aluminum thin films and the silicon substrate during the heat treatment, some silicon precipitates are formed. According to them, these precipitates are supplying the driving force necessary for the deposit of the aluminum thin films [14].
