Rapid spontaneous alloying between Pd nanocubes and spherical or triangular Ag nanoparticles was studied in an aqueous solution at ambient temperature using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), TEM-energy-dispersed X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), XRD, and UV-Vis spectroscopy of product particles. The results show that alloying occurs between Ag particles and Pd cubes and finishes within a few seco...

60) to be used for fabricating jewellery, so alloying additions are made to increase the hardness. Platinum jewellery alloys usually have platinum contents of 90 wt.% and higher. The most common alloys are hallmarked as 950 platinum (95 wt.%). Unlike carat gold (Au) jewellery alloys, where relatively large additions can be made (to alter the properties of the alloy such as its hardness or colou...

Selective laser melting (SLM) in situ alloying is an effective way to design and fabricate novel materials which the elemental powder adopted as raw material micro-areas of blend are alloyed synchronously forming process selective (SLM). The pre-alloying preparation can be left out, a batch bulk samples prepared via technology combined with quantitative mixing feeding. technique applied high-th...

The work is devoted to the analysis of influence acoustic losses on efficiency inducing resonant waves in single-crystal gallium arsenide plastids using infrared light pulses. It established that amplitude excited mechanical vibrations depends magnitude and position internal friction crystal temperature scale due acousto-electronic relaxation. Recommendations choice element alloying admixture a...

This paper presents a direct quantitative comparison of the effectiveness of boron diffusion, phosphorus diffusion, and aluminum alloying in removing interstitial iron in crystalline silicon in the context of silicon solar cells. Phosphorus diffusion gettering was effective in removing more than 90% of the interstitial iron across a range of diffusion temperatures, sheet resistances, and iron d...

This study explores the effect of introducing additional alloy elements not only in a different order but also at different stages of the Ruhrstahl-Heraeus (RH) process of low-carbon silicon steel production. A more economical method, described as "pre-alloying", has been introduced. The evolution of MnO-FeO inclusions produced by pre-alloying was investigated. Results show that spherical 3FeO·...

A. Śliwa, M. Bonek, Silesian University of Technology, Institute of Engineering Materials and Biomaterials, Gliwice, Poland Investigations include FEM simulation model of alloying the PMHSS6-5-3 steel surface layer with the carbides and ceramic powders, especially WC, VC, TiC, SiC, Si3N4 and Al2O3 particles using the high power diode laser (HPDL). The FEM computations were performed using ANSYS...

In recent year’s aluminum and aluminum alloys are widely used in automotive industries. These are light weight (density of about 2.7g/cc),having good malleability and formability, high corrosion resistance and high electrical and thermal conductivity. High machinability and workability of aluminum alloys are prone to porosity due to gases dissolved during melting processes. However, in the engi...

In this study, a very thin Ni/Au bilayer metal film was prepared by electron beam evaporation and thermal alloying to form ohmic contact on p-type GaN film. After thermal alloying, the current– voltage (I – V) characteristic of Ni/Au contact on p-type GaN film exhibited ohmic behavior. The Ni/Au contacts showed a specific contact resistance of 1.7310 V cm at an alloying temperature of 450 °C. I...
