Thermodynamics and kinetics of the oxidation of amorphous Al-Zr alloys
نویسنده
چکیده
During thermal oxidation of binary amorphous AlxZr1-x solid solutions over wide alloycomposition (0.26 ≤ x ≤ 0.68) and oxidation-temperature (350 °C – 560 °C) ranges, a single amorphous ternary oxide phase of well-defined stoichiometry, (Al0.33Zr0.67)O1.83, emerges. The composition of this unexpectedly stoichiometric ternary amorphous oxide phase, that develops instead of the crystalline oxide phases Al2O3 and ZrO2, under conditions far away from genuine thermodynamic equilibrium, is governed by thermodynamics, as demonstrated by thermodynamic assessment, adopting the amorphous (Al0.33Zr0.67)O1.83 phase as a supercooled liquid oxide-oxide (Al2O3-ZrO2) solution phase.

FRACTIONAL RECRYSTALLIZATION KINETICS IN DIRECTLY COLD ROLLED Al-Mg, Al-Mg-Sc AND Al-Mg-Sc-Zr ALLOY
The evaluation of texture as a function of recrystallization has been characterized for directly cold rolled Al-6Mg, Al-6Mg-0.4Sc and Al-6Mg-0.4Sc-0.2Zr alloys. Samples were annealed isothermally at 400 °C for 1 to 240 minutes to allow recrystallization. Recrystallization kinetics of the alloys is analyzed from the micro-hardness variation. Isothermally annealed samples of aluminum alloys were ...

Precipitation behaviour of wrought Al-6Mg alloys with ternary scandium and quaternary zirconium and titanium has been studied. Hardness measurements and resistivity studies are employed to assess the precipitation behaviour of scandium doped Al-6Mg alloy without or with quaternary additions of zirconium and titanium. Further, the kinetics of precipitations are studied by differential scanning c...

Single and mixed oxide Al/Zr-pillared clay (Al/Zr-PILC) catalysts were synthesized and tested for catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) of aqueous phenol solution under milder conditions, in a semi-batch reactor. The catalysts were synthesized from natural bentonite clay using ultrasonic treatment during the aging and intercalation steps and were characterized <...

Many new Al-based amorphous alloys were found within the numerous alloy systems studied in this project, and these were found specifically in compositional regions predicted by our amorphous alloy structural model. However, the critical casting dimensions of these alloys were still considered as sub-millimetre, and hence could not producible as ‘bulk’ specimens of substantial size for practical...
