Measurement of Activities in Liquid Fe-Cu, Fe-Cr and Fe-Sn Alloys by a Transportation Method

Atomistic Study of Surfaces and Interfaces of Fe-Cr and Fe-Cr-Al Alloys

Surface and interface properties of Fe-Cr, Fe-Al, and Fe-Cr-Al are studied using Exact Muffin-Tin Orbitals and Monte Carlo methods and with x-ray photoelectron and Auger electron techniques. Surface composition is investigated as a function of oxidation (heating) time. Hard x ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) is used to scan non destructively the compositions below the surface. It is foun...

Cavitation erosion of laser processed Fe-Cr-Mn and Fe-Cr-Co alloys

Purpose: Purpose of this paper is attempt explanation how laser beam processing influence on the cavitation performance of the Fe-Cr-Mn and Fe-Cr-Co alloys. This kind of alloys are frequently used in Polish power plants to routine repairs of damaged blades working under cavitation loading. Design/methodology/approach: Padding welds of investigated alloys were tested for three cases: after laser...

Cavitation erosion behaviour of laser processed Fe-Cr-Mn and Fe-Cr-Co alloys

Purpose: Purpose of this paper is investigation of influence of the surface processing by laser method on the cavitation performance of the Fe-Cr-Mn and Fe-Cr-Co alloys. This kind of alloys are frequently used in Polish power plants to routine repairs of damaged blades working under cavitation loading. Design/methodology/approach: Padding welds were tested for three cases: without additional pr...

Room Temperature Oxidation of Al-Cu-Fe and Al-Cu-Fe-Cr Quasicrystals

We have investigated formation of oxides on quasicrystalline and crystalline alloy surfaces of similar composition, in different oxidizing environments. This includes a comparison between a quaternary orthorhombic approximate of Al-Cu-Fe-Cr quasicrystal and the ternary AI-Cu-Fe quasicrystalline and crystalline phases. We noted that each sample showed the following common trends: preferential ox...
