The dissolution – condensation mechanism of liquid metal embrittlement and linear fracture mechanics for calculation of a crack profile are applied to the classical system “Al – liquid Ga”. The results tend to support the idea that the recently observed fast linear penetration of Ga along 150° tilt GB of Al should be considered as propagation of a liquid metal embrittlement crack under a small residual stress rather than as spontaneous grain boundary wetting. With the residual tensile stress σ ≈ 0.5 MPa acting normal to the GB plane, all major findings reported for this model system are explained in a semiquantitative way assuming that the GB spreading coefficient is extremely small by its absolute value, i. e. that the system is near the threshold of spontaneo...","PeriodicalId":301412,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Metallkunde","volume":"123 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126745092","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 general, the dependence of mobility on grain boundary character was similar to that observed by previous authors with a maximum in mobility in the vicinity of the Σ7 type (38° ). The exact location of the mobility maximum varied, however, with temperature in a manner similar to that observed for curvature-driven mobility measurements. Although tilt boundaries exhibit high mobilities in general, the single peak at the Σ7 position at low temperatures changes to a double peak at high temperatures with a local minimum at Σ7. The combination of mobility variation and the thermal activation analysis of the results points to a compensation temperature effect. All these results suggest that grain boundary mobility is a true material property.","PeriodicalId":301412,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Metallkunde","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127099526","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 strains were induced by high-pressure torsion (HPT). For the highest degrees of deformation, a particle size of 10 – 20 nanometer was achieved. The nanohardness of copper increased remarkably with increasing deformation, the hardness of tungsten was enhanced only slightly. A temperature of 400 °C during HPT significantly lowered the Cu hardness, probably recrystallisation during HPT had taken place, the hardness of tungsten, however, kept unaffected. With decreasing particle size, the influence of the adjacent material on the measured properties increased as well as the scatter of hardness and modulus. Proceeding to verq small particle and grain sizes, the particles became smaller than the size of the indent. Thus, hardness and modulus values reflected some average over that of pure tungstef and copper.","PeriodicalId":301412,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Metallkunde","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133560321","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}

Electronic structure calculations on smaller mesogens show that not all conformers exhibit the atomistic structure, the stability against distortion, and additional dipole moments, which favour columnar stacking. For the presentlq studied compounds with short terminating alkyl chains, the calculations indicate that the sterac factor becomes dominant with increasing star size. Thus, the optimised geometric structures were employed to generate a simplified mathematical model of the structures, which accounts only for the sterac interaction in the larger stars. With the help of these diagrams, the most common conformers of star-shaped molecules can be derived in a systematic fashion.","PeriodicalId":301412,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Metallkunde","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116765966","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}

Based on thermodynamic calculations, Zn and Sn additives are expected to form stable intermetallic phases with Mg and cause precipitation hardening. An Mg alloy containing 4.5 wt.% Zn and 3.8 wt.% Sn was examined in detail and subsequently alloyed with Ca and Si, in order to promote additional precipitation. The as-cast microstructure and its stability during exposure to elevated temperatures were investigated. Precipitation hardening was investigated in the temperature range of 175 – 250 °C by Vickers hardness measurements and analysis of the microstructure evolution, using X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy techniques. During aging at 175 °C for 1 to 96 h, two hardness maxima were observed: the first after 2 h, and the second after 16 h. The occurrence of two hardness peaks can be related to a precipitation sequence. Firstly, MgZn2 precipitates form, and secondly Mg2Sn. The results indicate that the precipitation mechanism is most likely diffusion-controlled. The precipitates are uniformly distributed in the Mg matrix with two morphologies: needle- and plate-like shapes. The addition of Si and Ca did not result in the expected effect on the precipitation behavior.","PeriodicalId":301412,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Metallkunde","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130590910","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}
