In this review article, we describe in detail the temperature-induced intermetallic charge transfer between A-site Cu and B-site Fe ions in the A-site-ordered double perovskites RCu3Fe4O12 (R = La, Bi). In these compounds, a very rare Cu valence state at the square-planar-coordinated A sites was stabilized by high-pressure synthesis. By increasing the temperature, a Cu–Fe intermetallic charge t...

Damping measurements were carried out on two-phase (y-matrix, y'-precipitates) nickel-base alloys containing different volume fractions of y' in order to achieve a better understanding of the strong elastic modus decrease between 1000°C and 1 100°C. For the investigation of the damping a free-free beam flexural vibration technique was applied. Nickel-base alloys with a high volume fraction of y...

This study investigates the formation of a chromate conversion coating at Al-Cu-Fe-Mn intermetallic sites of an Al2219 alloy and the corrosion initiation at these sites in a 3.5 % NaCl solution, using SEM, AES and EDX. Changes in the surface chemistry were monitored after progressive exposures to the solution up to 42 hours. The coating was found to be thinner and more defective on the intermet...

The Cottrell-Stokes two-stage straining of fcc metals and intermetallic compounds whose yield stress exhibits an anomalous temperature dependence is analyzed theoretically. The magnitude of stress jumps brought about by changes in temperature is expressed via characteristics of dislocation transformations to shortand long-lived barriers. The manner in which the thermally activated blocking of d...

introduction: the aim of this study was to compare several metallurgic properties of neoniti instrument with four other commonly used endodontic rotary files. methods and materials: neoniti a1 (25/0.08), race (25/0.06), mtwo (25/0.06), twisted file (25/0.06) and protaper next x2 (25/0.06) were examined by differential scanning calorimetry (dsc) before and after heat treatment at 500 ° c. x-ray ...

In the present study, friction spot welding or refill friction stir spot welding was performed to consolidate dissimilar AA5754 Al and AZ31 Mg alloys. The intermetallic compounds of Al12Mg17 and Al3Mg2 were primarily found in the weld, distributed at the interface between the base materials and in the Al top sheet. The distribution of the intermetallic compounds and the interfacial area between...

In order to investigate the structure of Fe–Zn phase in a commercial galvannealed IF steel sheet, the electron diffraction and composition of phase in a commercial galvannealed IF steel sheet were studied by transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX). The cross-sectional TEM specimen was prepared using focused ion beam (FIB) technique which was also in...

Submitted for the MAR11 Meeting of The American Physical Society The layer-by-layer growth of ferromagnetic τ phase MnAl thin films by Bias Target Ion Beam1 YISHEN CUI, WENJING YIN, JIWEI LU, STUART WOLF, Univ of Virginia — It is well known that the metastable τ phase of MnAl has a L10 structure (chemical ordering along [001] directions) and is the only ferromagnetic phase of this binary interm...
