Structures of Cu-Based Glass Forming System Doped with Iron

The effects of iron additions on the structure of (Cu0.47Ti0.34Zr0.11Ni0.08)100−xFex (x = 0, 1.5, 3, 6) glass forming system are presented. The alloys were synthesized by arc melting of high purity elements and melt spun to form rapidly quenched ribbons. X-ray diffraction studies showed the amorphous structure of the base and Fe-containing alloys, confirmed by the presence of exothermic peaks on differential scanning calorimetry curves. Bulk samples in the form of rods (Φ3 × 55 mm) were cast using a suction casting unit attached to the arc melter. Structural investigations revealed partial crystallization of the base Cu47Ti34Zr11Ni8 alloy. Iron additions significantly decreased the glass forming ability of the alloy, leading to primary crystallization of dendrites

Rekrystalizacja ferrytu w sferoidycie stali Fe-0.67%C

In this paper the study of ferrite recrystallization in Fe-0.67% C carbon steel with microstructure of the coarse spher-oidite was performed. The purpose of the investigations was to determine the recrystallization mechanism and the sites of recrystallization nucleation. It has been shown indirectly that in the investigated steel after deformation, ε, greater than ε = 9%, recrystallization of the matrix (ferrite) proceeds discontinuously and recrystallization nucleates in the deformation zones around large particles.W pracy przeprowadzono badania rekrystalizacji ferrytu w węglowej stali Fe-0.67% C o mikrostrukturze grubego sferoidytu, których celem było określenie mechanizmu i miejsc zarodkowania rekrystalizacji po odkształceniu plastycznym na zimno. Wykazano pośrednio, że w badanej stali po odkształceniu ε większym od ε = 9% zachodzi nieciągła rekrystalizacja osnowy (ferryt), a zarodki rekrystalizacji powstają w strefach deformacji wokół dużych cząstek

XRD phase investigations of steam oxidized Fe and Ni rich Cr alloys

The aim of this work was to summarise XRD investigations performed after the tests carried out in steam oxidation conditions in the temperature range 700‒800°C for 3000 hours. In this work, two solid-solution strengthened alloys; Haynes® 230®, 617 alloy and two (γ’) gamma-prime strengthened alloys; 263 and Haynes® 282® and high alloyed steels rich in Cr: 309S, 310S and HR3C were exposed. The phase analyses were carried out using two techniques; Bragg-Brentano (BB) geometry and geometry of constant angle called grazing incidence α = 1° and α = 3°

Zmiany mikrostrukturalne w wysokomanganowej stali austenitycznej Fe-Mn-Al-C

Microstructural changes in the age-hardenable Fe-28wt.%Mn-9wt.%Al-1wt.%C steel during ageing at 550°C for various times have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The steel was produced in an induction furnace and the ingot, after homogenization at 1150°C for 3 hours under a protective argon atmosphere, was hot-rolled and subsequently cold-rolled up to 23% reduction. The sheet was then aged at 550°C for various times in an argon atmosphere and cooled in air. XRD analysis and TEM observations revealed a modulated structure and superlattice reflections produced by spinodal decomposition, which occurred during ageing at 550°C. Theexistence of satellites suggests that either (Fe, Mn)3AlCx carbides were formed within the austenite matrix by spinodal decomposition during cooling or chemical fluctuactions occurred between the (Fe, Mn)3AlCx carbides and the austenitic matrix.W pracy analizowano zmiany mikrostruktury w stali Fe-28%wt. Mn-9%wt. Al-1%wt.C zachodzące podczas starzenia w temperaturze 550°C w różnych czasach. Stal Fe-28Mn-9Al-1C wytopiono w próżniowym piecu indukcyjnym. Po odlaniu wlewek homogenizowano w temperaturze 1150°C przez 3 godziny w atmosferze argonu. Wlewek walcowano na gorąco a następnie na zimno do 23 % odkształcenia. Próbki po odkształceniu starzono w temperaturze 550°C dla różnych czasów w atmosferze argonu i chłodzono na powietrzu. Obserwacje elektronomikroskopowe starzonej stali Fe-28Mn-9Al-1C ujawniły modulowaną strukturę i refleksy od nadstruktury, co było efektem rozpadu spinodalnego, który miał miejsce podczas procesu starzenia. Występowanie satelitów na zapisach dyfrakcyjnych sugeruje, że węgliki (Fe, Mn)3AlCx powstały w osnowie austenitycznej na skutek rozpadu spinodalnego zachodzącego podczas chłodzenia czy fluktuacji chemicznych występujących pomiędzy węglikami Fe, Mn)3AlCx i osnową austenityczną

Structure properties of AlSi7Mg/SiC composite produced by stir casting method

The paper presents the structure studies on composites of aluminum alloy matrix with addition of silicon carbide phase (from 5 to 15 vol.% SiC and 10 vol.% SiC + 10 vol.% graphite) obtained by the stir casting method. The aim of this work is to determine the influence of the SiC content and electrical discharge machining processes on the phase composition, microstructure, and values of residual stresses. In order to determine the heterogeneity of the obtained materials, the X-ray diffraction analysis was performed in different sample orientations to the direction of the X-ray beam (perpendicular and parallel), using different geometries (the Bragg-Brentano and grazing incident X-ray diffraction). This work presents the results of the residual stress analysis in the tested composites generated by various content of SiC additives. Residual stresses were determined by both of the ın²ψ and g-ın²ψ X-ray methods. Obtained results shown the significant gradient of residual stress in all cases

The paper presents research results of multilayer systems composed of alternate Cu/Ni layers. The layers thickness obtained by the galvanic treatment was determined by using the transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction method in the grazing incidence diffraction geometry. The surface morphology was observed using scanning electron microscope with EDS microanalysis. Observation of the surface topography of systems using the atomic force microscope was also carried out

Rozwój mikrostruktury i tekstury w walcowanym na zimno stopie Fe-23Mn-3Si-3Al

Fe–23wt.%Mn–3wt.%Si–3wt.%Al alloy was cast, homogenized at 1150ºC, hot-rolled at temperatures between 1200ºC and 900ºC and next cold-rolled from 5% up to 40% reductions in thickness. Microstructure and texture of this alloy, which has a low stacking fault energy, were defined after cold-rolling. Investigation of transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction showed that mechanical twinning and martensitic transformations (γfcc→εhcp and γfcc→εhcp→α′bcc) took place during cold-rolling. The crystallographic Shoji-Nishiyama (S-N) {00.2}ε║{111}γ, ε ║ γ and Kurdjumov-Sachs (K-S) {111}γ║{101}α’, γ║α’ relations between martensite (ε, α’) and austenite (γ), were found in the coldrolled material.W artykule zamieszczono wyniki badań mikrostruktury i tekstury otrzymane dla stopu Fe–23%Mn–3%Si–3%Al (% masowe). Po odlaniu wlewek homogenizowano przy temperaturze 1150ºC, walcowano na gorąco w zakresie temperatur 1200ºC-900ºC i następnie walcowano na zimno do odkształceń od 5% do 40%. Wyniki badań uzyskane przy użyciu transmisyjnej mikroskopii elektronowej i metod dyfrakcyjnych wskazują, że podczas odkształcenia plastycznego na zimno w stopie zachodzi mechaniczne bliźniakowanie i przemiana martenzytyczna. Występują zależności krystalograficzne pomiędzy austenitem (faza γ) i martenzytem (faza ε i faza α’), które opisują zależności: Shoji-Nishiyama {00.2}ε || {111}γ, ε || γ i Kurdjumowa-Sachsa {111}γ || {110}α, γ || α
