Thermodynamic analysis of nanocrystalline solid solution formation in the W-Co-Si ternary system by mechanical alloying

Co3W2Si intermetallic compound was synthesized by mechanical alloying (MA) of W, Co and Si elemental powder mixtures. The phase composition of the milled products was evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Morphological evolutions were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that high energy ball milling performed in the present work led to the format...

Predicting Composition Dependence of Glass Forming Ability in Ternary Al-Cu-Y System by Thermodynamic Calculation

The composition dependence of glass forming ability in the ternary Al-Cu-Y system is predicted by thermodynamic calculations based on the Miedema’s model and Alonso’s method. By comparing the relative energetic status of the amorphous phase versus the solid solution phase, a hexagonal composition region that energetically favoring the metallic glass formation is predicted. The glass formation d...

Glass transition behavior of ternary disaccharide-ethylene glycol-water solutions

Glass transition behavior of ternary disaccharide-ethylene glycol-water solutions, in reference to that of the binary combinations, has been investigated towards a better understanding of their cryoprotective ability. In water-deficient solutions, the disaccharides, including trehalose, sucrose and maltose, can associate with more than 100 ethylene glycol molecules to form amorphous complex, on...

Ternary Logic in a Positional Control System

The application of COS/MOS integrated circuits in the construction of a three-valued positional control system is presented. A unit-distance ternary code and the design of a ternary encoder are given. A ternary code converter able to translate this unit-distance code to the signed ternary code is described. A ternary threshold level detector is required to convert a noisy, slowly-changing, anal...
