Oxidation Behavior of Magnesium Aluminum Oxynitride

Nanoindentation characterization of deformation and failure of aluminum oxynitride

A systematic study of the mechanical deformation and failure of transparent ceramic aluminum oxynitride (AlON) has been conducted using a depth-sensitive nanoindentation technique combined with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Raman spectroscopy. Although discrete displacement bursts appear in the load–depth profiles at high applied forces, a detectable high-pressure phase transition ...

Cyclic oxidation behavior of uncoated and aluminum-rich nickel aluminide coated Rene-80 superalloy

In this study, aluminide coating was employed to enhance the high-temperature cyclic oxidation of Rene-80 superalloy at 950ºC. The microstructural aspects and phase constituents of samples were  investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The result of oxidation tests showed that the weight gain in the uncoated sample was considerably higher than...

Ultralow Temperature Anelasticity of Aluminum-Magnesium Alloys

Results of internal friction measurements on the commercial aluminum-magnesium alloys 5052,5086 and 5486 are reported here over the temperature range 50 mK to 300 K, and compared with published data on alloy 5056. Effects of heat treatment and explosive bonds on the internal friction are evaluated. The quality factor of proposed multi-layer aluminum-alloy spherical resonant-mass detectors of gr...
