Research on submicron-grained structure formation in titanium alloys upon reversible hydrogenation and plastic deformation

The influence of thermohydrogen treatment combined with hot rolling on the structural formation in α- and near-α-titanium alloys has been studied. The prospects of obtaining submicron-grained sheet semifinished products of VT5 (Ti-5.8Al-0.1Fe, wt %) and VT20 (Ti-5.9Al-1.5V-1.2Mo-1.8Zr-0.1Fe, wt %) alloys are shown. In these materials, a submicron-grained structure allows the plastic deformation to be induced by superplasticity at temperatures reduced by 100-200°

Study of the structure of crater at the surface of 12Cr18Ni10Ti steel irradiated by high-power pulsed ion beam

The topography of surface layers of 12Cr18Ni10Ti (AISI 321) steel after pulsed high-power Cn+ ion beams irradiation was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. A thin foil was prepared from the cross section of a crater with the use of a focused ion beam in the column of a two-beam electron-ion microscope. The microstructure and chemical composition of the crater were studied by transmission electron microscop

The local crystallization in nanoscale diamond-like carbon films during annealing

The local crystallization during annealing at 600° C in nanoscale diamond-like carbon coatings films grown by pulsed vacuum-arc deposition method was observed using modern techniques of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The crystallites formed by annealing have a face-centred cubic crystal structure and grow in the direction [011] as a normal to the film surface. The number and size of the crystallites depend on the initial values of the intrinsic stresses before annealing, which in turn depend on the conditions of film growth. The sizes of crystallites are 10 nm for films with initial compressive stresses of 3 GPa and 17 nm for films with initial compres- sive stresses of 12 GPa. Areas of local crystallization arising during annealing have a structure dif- ferent from the graphit
