Mechanical Properties Data for Pt-5 wt.% Cu and Pt-5 wt.% Ru Alloys

Mechanical properties of hot-pressed Al-4.5 wt. % Cu/WC composite

In this study, the elemental powders of aluminum and copper were initially subjected to mechanical alloying using an attrition ball mill under argon atmosphere to produce an Al-4.5 wt% Cu powder alloy. The WC nanoparticles were then added to the powder alloy and milled in a planetary ball mill to explore the role of the WC nanoparticles on the mechanical properties of the fabricated composite p...

Co-Precipitation, Strength and Electrical Resistivity of Cu–26 wt % Ag–0.1 wt % Fe Alloy

Both a Cu-26 wt % Ag (Fe-free) alloy and Cu-26 wt % Ag-0.1 wt % Fe (Fe-doping) alloy were subjected to different heat treatments. We studied the precipitation kinetics of Ag and Cu, microstructure evolution, magnetization, hardness, strength, and electrical resistivity of the two alloys. Fe addition was incapable of changing the precipitation kinetics of Ag and Cu; however, it decreased the siz...

Thermodynamic Properties and Phase Equilibria for Pt-Rh Alloys

Alloys of platinum and rhodium are extensively used in thermocouples for high-temperature measurement and as clean and inert heating elements in experimental high-temperature furnaces. The phase diagram for the Pt-Rh system is inadequately characterized.[1] The liquidus has been measured by Müller[2] and Acken.[3] The results have been normalized using more recent values for the melting points ...

Metal-support interaction and redox behavior of Pt(1 wt %)/Ce0.6Zr0.4O2.

The catalyst Pt(1 wt %)/Ce(0.6)Zr(0.4)O(2) is studied by CO-temperature programmed reduction (CO-TPR), isothermal oxygen storage complete capacity (OSCC), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at the Pt L(III) edge, and in situ X-ray diffraction (in situ XRD), with the aim of elucidating the role of supported metal in CO oxidation by ceria-based three-way catalysts (TWC). The redox behavior of Pt...
