Combustion synthesis has been used to produce Fe-(Ti,W)C composites. A simple reactor was designed which made it possible to ignite the samples under controlled atmosphere. Samples with different W/Ti ratio were ingnited under argon atmosphere by an electric arc and a self-propagating reaction was initiated in each sample. Different composites such as WC in Fe-Ti matrix, WC+(Ti,W)C in Fe matrix...

Transparent β-quartz s.s. glass-ceramics in Li2O–Al2O3–SiO2 system have an undesirable brown color owing to Fe ions as a contaminant, whereas the mother glass normally has a clear appearance. Elucidation of the coloration mechanism during crystallization is important for industry to develop highly transparent materials. In this study, the mother glass contained SiO2, Al2O3, and Li2O as its prin...

The adsorption behavior of Eu(III) onto silica surface, which was partially coated with Fe(III) or Ti(IV), was investigated to determine Fe(III) or Ti(IV) effects on the surface reaction of lanthanides on mineral surfaces in groundwater. Compared with a parallel uncoated silica, the Fe(III)-coated silica did not enhance the adsorption of Eu(III). However, enhanced adsorption of Eu(III) on the T...

Effects of ultra high magnetic field of both pulse and steady types on martensitic transformation have been studied, using Fe-Ni-Mn, Fe-Ni-Mn-C alloys with the supplemental tests on Fe-Ni-C and Fe-NiCo-Ti alloys. It is found that the martensitic transformation is induced at room temperature not only athermally but also isothermally either by pulse magnetic field or by steady magnetic field for ...

This study investigated the structural stability and electrochemical properties of alloying additives M (M = Mn, V, Ti, Mo, or Ni) at the γ-Fe(111)/Cr2N(0001) interface by the first-principles method. Results indicated that V and Ti were easily segregated at the γ-Fe(111)/Cr2N(0001) interface and enhanced interfacial adhesive strength. By contrast, Ni and Mo were difficult to segregate at the γ...

The Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS) technique was combined with direct synthesis to fabricate L21-ordered Fe-Al-Ti based intermetallic alloys. It was found that ternary Fe-Al-Ti alloys can be synthesized using the LENS technique from a feedstock composed of a pre-alloyed Fe-Al powder and elemental Ti powder. The obtained average compositions of the ternary alloys after the laser deposition ...

-Iron nI for Ti TM substitution in the structure of pedogenic and synthetic anatase of up to Fe/ (Ti+Fe) 0.1 mol/mol was indicated by an increase in unit cell size as measured by XRD line shifts. MiSssbauerand electron paramagnetic resonance spectra at both, 298 K and 4.2 K supported this by the presence of signals typical for octahedrally coordinated Fe I11 in a diamagnetic matrix. Charge comp...

The densification behavior, microstructure and mechanical properties of bulk TiB₂-based ceramic composites, fabricated using the spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique with elements of (Fe-Ni-Ti-Al) sinter-aid were investigated. Comparing the change of shrinkage displacement of pure TiB₂ and TiB₂-5 wt% (Fe-Ni-Ti-Al), the addition of elements Fe-Ni-Ti-Al into TiB₂ can facilitate sintering of the...
