The wetting behavior of NiAl and NiPtAl on polycrystalline alumina

چکیده
In order to understand the beneficial effect of Pt on the adherence of thermally grown alumina scales, sessile drop experiments were performed to study the wetting of poly-crystalline alumina by nickel-aluminum alloys with or without platinum addition where the amount of Pt ranged from 2.4 to 10 at.%. Subsequent interfacial structure was evaluated using atomic force microscopy. Platinum addition enhances the wettability of NiAl alloys on alumina, reduces the oxide/alloy interface energy and increases the interfacial mass transport rates.

Growth of thin alumina films on a vicinal NiAl surface
Dramatic changes in the surface morphology have been observed during the oxidation of stepped NiAl(16,14,1) by LEED and STM. The initial sequence of identical (110) terraces is lifted in favor of large, triangular planes, whose mean size is determined by the mismatch-induced stress that accumulates in the thin alumina film. The asymmetry of the original step direction on NiAl(16,14,1) with resp...

Single crystals of Al2O3 were reproducibly grown from an MgO-doped polycrystalline precursor. The single crystals were grown through controlled abnormal grain growth at temperatures between 16701 and 19451C. It was observed that CaO impurities segregated to the boundary between the single crystal and the polycrystalline region, and formed a wetting intergranular film. This type of film is requi...

متن کاملCounting Electrons Transferred through a thin Alumina Film into Au ad-chains
Low-temperature STM measurements combined with DFT calculations are employed to study the adsorption of gold on alumina/NiAl(110). The binding of Au monomers involves breaking of an oxide Al-O bond below the adatom and stabilizing the hence under-coordinated O ion by forming a new bond to an Al atom in the NiAl. The adsorption implies negative charging of the adatom. The linear arrangement of f...
