STUDIES OF A QUASI-BINARY I~-NiA1 AND ix-Re EUTECTIC
نویسنده
چکیده
Future improvements to jet engine performance will require materials which are lower in density and can withstand higher temperatures; thus increasing the thrust-to-weight ratio and the engine efficiency. The intermetallic compound IB-NiA1 is a prime candidate for this new high temperature material. This intermetallic offers a low density, a high melting temperatme, and excellent oxidation resistance, but exhibits poor creep resistance. The creep resistance may be improved by composite engineering with refractory metal fibers and of particular interest to the present study are the refractory composites formed by eutectic solidification. There are three known refractory metals which may be solidified as a eutectic with I~-NiAI: W(1), Mo(2,3), and Cr(2-5). Another useful refractory metal addition would be Re. Indeed, a-Re fibers would offer greater high-temperature strength than either Mo or W in the temperature range of 950 to 1250°C(6). This is in part a result of the close packed hexagonal crystal structure of a-Re. The mechanical properties of B-NiAI alloyed with Re via a powder metallurgy technique have been studied by Vedula et al.(7). This study revealed that the addition of Re to 13-NiAI did not produce an extended solid solution or a new phase equilibrium and the consolidated alloys exhibited microstructures of 13-NiAI with a dispersion of a-Re particles. One possible explanation for this result is that Re forms a quasi-binary eutectic isopleth with 13-NiA1. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine if a composite with a matrix of 13-NiAI and fibers of a-Re could be produced by eutectic solidification and if so, to determine the nature of the quasi-binary phase diagram.

Glossopharyngeal taste responses of the channel catfish to binary mixtures of amino acids.
This study examines the neural processing of binary mixtures in the glossopharyngeal (IX) taste system of the channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, and finds that the nature of the components of a mixture determines the intensity of the neural response to it. Taste buds in fish innervated by IX are located along the gill rakers of the first gill arch and rostral floor of the oral cavity, and fu...
متن کاملThe roles of Eu during the growth of eutectic Si in Al-Si alloys
Controlling the growth of eutectic Si and thereby modifying the eutectic Si from flake-like to fibrous is a key factor in improving the properties of Al-Si alloys. To date, it is generally accepted that the impurity-induced twinning (IIT) mechanism and the twin plane re-entrant edge (TPRE) mechanism as well as poisoning of the TPRE mechanism are valid under certain conditions. However, IIT, TPR...

Carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) is currently generating great interest as a marker of tumour hypoxia and a potential chemotherapeutic target. In order to test the principle that a CA IX inhibitor could be used for targeting PET or SPECT metallic radioisotopes to tumours we have prepared a number of conjugates involving aryl-sulfonamides or an acetazolamide derivative linked to a range of copper, ...
