Influence of Interstitial Elements on Internal Friction Measurements in Nb and Nb-Zr Alloys

چکیده
Internal friction and frequency measurements as a function of temperature have been carried out in Nb and Nb-Zr policrystalline samples, using a torsion pendulum in the temperature range between 300K and 700K, the heating rate was lWmin and the pressure was kept better than 5x10~~ mbar. Metals with bcc lattice containing solute atoms dissolved interstitially often show anelastic behaviour due to a process know as stress-induced ordering, responsible for the appearance of Snoek peaks. In the Nb sample it has been identified two constituent peaks corresponding to the interstitial-matrix interactions (Nb-0 and Nb-N), but for the Nb-Zr samples with interstitial solute concentrations very close to those measured for the unalloyed Nb, it was not observed any mechanical relaxation peaks due to the presence of oxygen and nitrogen in solid solution .

Anelastic relaxation processes due oxygen in Nb–3.1 at.% Ti alloys
In the last 50 years several studies have been made to understand the relaxation mechanisms of the heavy interstitial atoms present in transition metals and their alloys. Internal friction measurements have been carried out in a Nb–Ti alloy containing 3.1 at.% of Ti produced by the Materials Department of Chemical Engineering Faculty of Lorena (Brazil), with several quantities of oxygen in soli...
متن کاملEffect of interstitial impurities on internal friction measurements in niobium
Measurements of internal friction as a function of temperature were carried out in samples of niobium containing different amounts of interstitial solutes (oxygen and nitrogen) and one sample of niobium containing initially only nitrogen as interstitial solute. The experimental spectra of internal friction as a function of temperature were obtained with a torsion pendulum of the inverted Kê-typ...
متن کاملStress Induced Ordering Due to Interstitial Elements in Nb and Ta by Frequency Analysis
It is well known that the interstitial elements present in solid solution in metals interact with the matrix by a relaxation process known as stress induced ordering. Traditionally this relaxation process is observed in the internal friction measurements. It is a common practice that researchers present the results of the frequency together with internal friction without giving any analysis. In...

Vibrating-reed measurements of the hydrogen internal friction peak were performed on a series of CO-Zr glasses ranging from C O ~ ~ Z ~ ~ ~ to Co24Zr76 Variations in peak shape and growth behaviour (on increasing the H concentration) were observed for different alloy compositions, together with an increase of the average activation energy with cobalt concentration. These fmdings can be explaine...

The issue, microalloying certain element with positive heat of mixing leading to the enhanced glass forming ability (GFA) in multicomponent alloys, has been investigated by systematic experimental measurements coupled with theoretical calculations. It is found that in the Nb-doped CuZr alloys, strong interaction between Nb and Zr atoms leads to a shortened pair distance. In addition, fraction o...
