A Fim/ap Investigation of a Rapidly Solidified Aluminium-chromium Alloy
نویسندگان
چکیده
A rapidly solidified A1 6 to gwt%Cr alloy formed by vapour deposition has been studied by field-ion microscopy and atom probe microanalysis (FIM/AP). The as-deposited material was found to contain brightly imaging Cr-rich particles, both spherical and rod-shaped, of about 0.5-lnm in diameter and up to 5nm long. Random area AP analysis showed the presence of Cr-enrichment on a very fine scale, with estimated particle compositions of 30-50atXCr. No change in particle size or composition was observed for aging at 350°C for up to 20 hours. By comparison, an Al-4wt%Cr wire formed by in-rotating-water quenching showed no indication of precipitation in its as-received state by either FIM or AP.

TEM INVESTIGATION OF RAPIDLY SOLIDIFIED NDFEB HARD MAGNETIC MATERIAL
The surface condition and microstructure of near stoichiometric (Fe823Ndll.8B5.9) Nd-Fe-B alloy ribbons and the effect of melt spinning parameters were investigated using optical, scanning and transmission electron microscopes (SEM, TEM). The formation of gas pockets on the roll surface of the ribbons during melt spinning can prevent heat transform and result in local coarse grains. The local t...

متن کاملEffects of partial crystallinity and quenched-in defects on corrosion of a rapidly solidified Ti–Cu alloy
Rapid solidification by planar flow casting has been found to have introduced deficiencies, viz. partial crystallinity, air pockets and compositional difference in the ribbons of rapidly solidified Ti42⋅9Cu57⋅1 alloy. In order to investigate the effects of these deficiencies on the corrosion of rapidly solidified Ti42⋅9Cu57⋅1 alloy ribbons, electrochemical behaviour of alloy ribbons has been in...
متن کاملRefining grain structure and porosity of an aluminium alloy with intensive melt shearing
Intensive melt shearing was achieved using a twin-screw machine to condition an aluminium alloy prior to solidification. The results show that intensive melt shearing has a significant grain-refining effect. In addition, the intensive melt shearing reduces both the volume fraction and the size of porosity. It can reduce the density index from 10.50% to 2.87% and the average size of porosity in ...
