in the present study, nanocrystalline ni50al50-xmox (x = 0, 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5) intermetallic compound was produced through mechanical alloying of nickel, aluminum, and molybdenum powders. alni compounds with good and attractive properties such as high melting point, high strength to weight ratio and high corrosion resistance especially at high temperatures have attracted the attention of many rese...

nano-sized titanium dioxide tio2 powder was prepared by new wet chemical route from its precursor titanium (iv) chloride (ticl4) as precursor with isopropoxy alcohol in presence of nitric acid under ambient condition. their morphologies, phase compositions and components of the tio2 nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (tem), field emission scanning electron micr...

Autoradiographic techniques for use with the electron microscope have been developed and considerably improved in recent years. A review of this historical development is given by Meek and Moses (14), and a theoretical analysis of the problems involved by Pelc (17) and Caro (4). In this paper, we describe a method for preparing autoradiographic specimens, using a new, fine-grained emulsion and ...

Grain boundary character in samples of Zr701 annealed at two different temperatures has been investigated in terms of lattice misorientation. The main difference between the two samples was the extent of grain growth post-recrystallization. The textures were typical for the material. Differences between the texture-based misorientation distribution function (T-MDF) and the microstructure-based ...

An X-ray microbeam study and a polycrystal finite element model of a 10 10 m2 section of a 1 m thick polycrystalline aluminum film on a silicon substrate are used to investigate the effect of microstructure on thermal stress variability. In the X-ray microbeam study, the grain orientations and deviatoric elastic strain field are measured at the subgrain level in the film during and after two th...

In the literature, contradictory results have been published regarding the form of the limiting (long-time) grain size distribution (LGSD) that characterizes the late stage grain coarsening in two-dimensional and quasi-two-dimensional polycrystalline systems. While experiments and the phase-field crystal (PFC) model (a simple dynamical density functional theory) indicate a log-normal distributi...

Grain-aligned composite Terfenol-D was fabricated via unidirectional solidification, followed by the infiltration of epoxy. The fraction of the RFe2 phase in composite Terfenol-D depends on the iron/rare earth RE=Tb,Dy ratio of the as-grown Terfenol-D and the direction of the RFe2 phase in the as-grown Terfenol-D changes from 110 to 111 with an increasing iron/rare earth ratio. For a series of ...
