The Stability of Irradiation-Induced Defects in Zr ₃AlC ₂, Nb ₄AlC ₃ and (Zr _0.5,Ti _0.5) ₃AlC ₂ Max Phase-Based Ceramics

Impact of phase transition sequence on the electrocaloric effect in Pb(Nb,Zr,Sn,Ti)O-3 ceramics

The phase transition sequence in PbZrO3-based ceramics can be readily altered by chemical modification. In Pb0.99Nb0.02[(Zr0.57Sn0.43)(0.92)Ti-0.08](0.98)O-3 (PNZST 43/8/2), the sequence is ferroelectricantiferroelectric-paraelectric during heating, while in Pb0.99Nb0.02 (Zr0.85Sn0.13Ti0.02)(0.98)O-3 (PNZST 13/2/2), it is antiferroelectric-ferroelectric-paraelectric during heating. The electroc...

stability analysis of implanted ti and zr-2.5%nb in jawbone by finite element analysis

background. improving the implantation conditions in order to reduce the failure is always desirable for researchers. the aim of this study was to compare two different types of dental implant materials from biomechnical viewpoint in order to introduce a novel simulation method to select suitable materials for dental implants. methods. in this research, drilling process was performed in the cor...

STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY CHANGES IN THE Zr-Nb ALLOY DURING HYDRIDE PHASE TRANSFORMATION UNDER THE THERMAL SHOCK

Structural changes and properties of zirconium alloy subjected to the thermal shock in the solar furnace were investigated. Specimens were prepared from unirradiated cold-worked RBMK Zr-2.5Nb fuel channel pressure tube material after adding hydrogen to the sections of the tubes up to 150 ppm. Tests were done at temperatures up to 1460 C and heating rates 50-83 C per second. After thermal treatm...
