the microstructure of hp stainless steel in aged and aged + solution annealed conditions and solutionized alloy 800 was characterized by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (sem), and transmission electron microscopy (tem) equipped by eds. all phases present in the above condition were described. the effects of solution annealing heat treatment temperature on the microstructure, te...

The varestraint cracking test was carried out to assess the hot cracking tendency of alloy 800 at different welding conditions and augmented strain levels. The test results revealed that the hot cracking susceptibility of alloy 800 increases with increasing the heat input and augmented strain levels. This emphasizes the role of constraint either internally induced or externally applied to the w...

A program on fireside corrosion is being conducted at Argonne National Laboratory to evaluate the performance of several structural alloys in the presence of mixtures of synthetic coal ash, alkali sulfates, and alkali chlorides. Candidate alloys are also exposed in a small-scale coal-fired combustor at the National Energy Technology Laboratory in Pittsburgh. Experiments in the present program, ...

In this study, an Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) roughness analysis was performed on non-commercial Nitinol alloys with Electropolished (EP) and Magneto-Electropolished (MEP) surface treatments and commercially available stents by measuring Root-Mean-Square (RMS), Average Roughness (Ra), and Surface Area (SA) values at various dimensional areas on the alloy surfaces, ranging from (800 × 800 nm) ...

Gold alloys with Cu contents of 10 mass%, 20%, and 30% were used for morphological observation of porous surface structures after heating at 800 degrees C in air followed by pickling with acid solution. With increasing Cu content in the gold alloy, the internal oxidation zone became well-developed in the alloy matrix. The mechanism by which a porous structure was formed on the surface of a gold...

A Si-based waveguide photodetector with a response in the 1.3–1.55m wavelength range is demonstrated. The active absorption layer of the pin photodiode consists of a SiGeC alloy epitaxially grown on a Si substrate with a Ge content of 55% and a thickness of 800 Å. The external quantum efficiency for a 400m-long waveguide, measured by using a single-mode fiber coupled to the waveguide facet, is ...

a rahalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloy using a centrifugal shooting type polishing machine. In tha present work, we examined the effects of the texture of polishing particle and polishing time on the surface roughness of Co-Cr alloy cast specimens. Nine differcnt textures of polishing par'ticle were investigated wiLh respect to core material and paTticle abrasiveness: three (lifferent elastic body cer...
