the molybdenum dicilicide is an intermetallic compound with two allotropies tetragonal ?-mosi2 and hexagonal ?-mosi2.the ?-mosi2 phase is established to 1900 ?c and ?-mosi2 phase from 1900 to 2050 ?c. this material has considerable properties that provide different applications in different industries such as air-space industry and gas turbines. the molybdenum synthesis can be down in various w...

A novel approach for depositing hydroxyapatite (HA) films on titanium substrates by using mechanical alloying (MA) technique has been developed. However, it was shown that one-hour heat treatment at 800°C of such mechanically coated HA layer leads to partial transformation of desired HA phase to beta-tri-calcium phosphate (β-TCP) phase. It appears that the grain boundary and interface defects f...

We report the phase transformation of single crystal h-phase W(100) nanorods that occurs at an elevated temperature of ̈950 -C. The hW nanorods oriented perpendicular to the flat silicon substrate were grown by an oblique angle sputter deposition technique with substrate rotation. The nanorods typically have an average length of ̈450 nm and an average width of ̈75 nm. The phase transformation w...

impact responses of rectangular composite plates with embedded shape memory alloy (sma) wires are investigated in the present research. the plate is assumed to be placed in a thermal environment; so that in contrast to the available researches in the field, the shape memory and ferroelasticity effects have to be considered also in addition to the superelasticity. the governing equations are der...

The system Gd5(SixGe1−x)4 for 0.4⩽x⩽0.5 has been shown to have an unusual first order, coupled magnetic-structural phase transformation at the Curie temperature. Above the transformation temperature Tc, the material is paramagnetic with a monoclinic structure; below Tc, it is ferromagnetic with an orthorhombic structure. Another unusual feature of this phase transformation is that an applied ma...
