The experiments were conducted in a high vacuum using thin ZrO₂ ceramic plates, with one side in contact with a droplet of active melt and the opposite side with a droplet of inert melt. In the simultaneous interaction of active and inert metal melts with zirconium dioxide, the interface processes showed mutual influence: oxygen-deficient zirconium dioxide (ZrO_2–<i>x</i>) was formed through the absorption of oxygen from ZrO₂ by the active melt. This contributed to the dissolution of zirconium from the solid oxide in the inert melt, thereby activating it and increasing its adhesion to the substrate. At the same time, the dissolution of zirconium in the inert melt reduced the oxygen deficiency in zirconium dioxide, i.e., restoring its stoichiometry and promoting further absorption of oxygen by the active melt. Thus, with the simultaneous contact of active and inert melts with ZrO₂, a larger amount of oxygen dissolves in the active melt, which leads to the saturation of the active melt with oxygen. This results in effects such as the loss of metallic luster and spherical shape of droplets in the active melt, delamination of the active melt, and increase in the thickness of the transition layers at the interface between the active melt and ZrO₂. The results are significantly influenced by the amounts of inert and active melts in contact with ZrO₂ and by the concentration of the active component (titanium) in the system. The results can be used in the development of methods for brazing and metallization of ceramic materials and techniques for the manufacture and use of refractories and high-temperature electrochemical devices.</p>","PeriodicalId":742,"journal":{"name":"Powder Metallurgy and Metal Ceramics","volume":"62 11-12","pages":"745 - 756"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185173","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 associate solution model (ASM) was used as a calculation tool. The results of the calculations correspond to the experimental data on the integral mixing enthalpy, presented in the first part of the work, and reveal the regularities of changes in other thermodynamic functions and the features of interaction between components in these liquid alloys. It was established that the excess thermodynamic mixing functions in each system have negative values, which are determined by pair interactions between Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu as electron acceptors and Ti and Zr as electron donors. The trend of changes in the minimum values of excess thermodynamic mixing functions of the systems shows an increase in their absolute values along the 3d-series from iron to nickel and a significant decrease for copper, which corresponds to a change in the acceptor capacity of metals along the transition series. The temperature dependence of the thermodynamic mixing functions consists in an increase in negative deviations from ideality and an increase in the intensity of interaction between components with a decrease in temperature. The formation of glass-forming liquid alloys from pure metals is accompanied by an increase in the thermodynamic stability of the liquid phase, which is reflected in negative values of the Gibbs mixing energy.
