It is shown by convergent beam electron diffraction, X-ray diffraction and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy that the composition of the matrix and precipitates as well as the lattice misfit between both phases are similar for all three model alloys despite a variation of the γ′ content from about 50 to about 65%. This allows to study the influence of the precipitate volume fraction on high-temperature behaviour in separation from other microstructural parameters. Highest creep strength is found for the alloy with intermediate particle content (about 58%), which is significantly below the particle volume fraction of contemporary single-crystal superalloys such as CMSX-4.","PeriodicalId":301412,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Metallkunde","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116997360","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}

In alloys containing Gd and Y simultaneous precipitation of three phases takes place, namely the metastable c-base-centred orthorhombic phase (Mg–Y, Mg–Gd) in the form of prismatic plates, the thermally stable hexagonal Mn2Sc phase in the form of fine basal discs and a metastable hexagonal coherent phase, containing Mn and Y or Gd, in the form of very thin basal plates (missing in the Mg alloy with 10 wt.% Gd). In the Ce-containing alloy the Mg12Ce tetragonal phase, present after casting in various forms, transforms into a rod-like form. Simultaneously, fine Mn2Sc discs precipitate on basal planes and the grain boundary eutectic transforms to the equilibrium phases.","PeriodicalId":301412,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Metallkunde","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125133802","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 interpretation of these profiles as a Fourier expansion of displacement waves is justified through a link to continuum modelling approaches presented earlier.

In the cases of 31Si (half-life t1/2 = 2.6 h) and 11C (t1/2 = 20.4 min), implantation, diffusion annealing, and sputter-sectioning were done on beamline and in situ of a novel set-up specially constructed for diffusion studies of short-lived radiotracer atoms.

In this region, the solid can form only after liquid–liquid phase separation has occurred. As suggested by earlier research, the thermodynamic restrictions on the solidification process may be useful to control the micro structure of rapidly solidified materials. Thus, it could be commercially important to understand the thermodynamic limitations on the formation of the solid in monotectic systems. The liquid miscibility gaps, metastable liquidi, and spinodal curves in the binary Zn–Bi, Zn–Pb, and Zn–Tl systems were assessed by using a subregular solution model to describe the Gibbs energies of the liquid phases.

Even though initial spreading velocities as fast as ≈ 1 m/s have been recorded in some experiments, a large variation in the spreading dynamics has been observed, and there is no unique relationship between the contact angle and the spreading velocity. This can be attributed to the formation of ridges at the triple junction, the movement of which controls spreading. The fastest spreading rates are consistent with results reported for low-temperature liquids; these can be described, using a molecular-kinetic model. Spreading kinetics and final contact angles were similar for pure Ag and Ag–Mo liquids.","PeriodicalId":301412,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Metallkunde","volume":"84 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116591961","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 compound layer consists of ϵ-Fe3N at the surface and of γ′-Fe4N facing the ferrite. After 4 h of nitriding, pores develop in the near surface region of ϵ-Fe3N showing more or less open porosity. Growth of the entire compound layer as well as of the massive and the porous ϵ-Fe3N sublayer is diffusion-controlled and follows a parabolic growth rate. The γ′-Fe4N layer is formed as a transition phase within a narrow interval of nitrogen activity, and it shows little growth in thickness.
