A technique is described to perform precision measurements of the lattice parameter of solid argon under pressure. Details are given of the apparatus which consists of a beryllium pressure vessel, a liquid nitrogen cryostat, a two-circle goniometer, and a cylindrical camera. Small argon crystals are grown in the pressure vessel and one suitable crystal is selected and correctly oriented with a precision of 1 min of arc, using the oscillation method. The single-crystal rotation method is used to measure the lattice parameter with an estimated precision of 0.01%. Measurements were carried out along the melting line in the range from the triple point (83.8 K and 0.7 bar) to 95 K and 450 bar. The result obtained for the lattice parameter of solid argon near the triple point, a0 = 5.4676 ± 0.0005 Å, is in close agreement with the low pressure result of Peterson et al. Some values are calculated for the molar volume, density, coefficient of thermal expansion, and bulk modulus of solid argon, and these results are compared with those obtained by other workers using different methods.

The technique of high resolution Brillouin spectroscopy has been used to determine the adiabatic elastic constants of single crystals of β-N2 and β-CO as a function of temperature, in an effort to study the α–β phase transition. For all elastic constants, there is an increase of approximately 1%/K on cooling and there is no evidence of further mode softening, even within 0.5 K of the phase transition. Three large single crystals of α-CO were grown. The orientations were determined, by Laue X-ray diffraction, and correlated to the orientations of the parent β-crystals. The β-phase hexagonal basal planes appear to transform to planes of the form {110} in the α-phase cubic structure.

A series of Cu/Pd superlattices with composition modulation wavelengths (Λ's) ranging from 1.6 to 3.5 nm and a strong [111] growth texture were prepared by electron beam evaporation. The elastic properties of the films were examined using the methods of uniaxial tension tests [a Young's modulus (1/s11), where sij is an elastic compliance] with the applied load parallel to the plane of the Cu/Pd interface and Brillouin scattering [a shear modulus (1/s44) with the shear waves parallel to the plane of the Cu/Pd interface]. Also, the films were characterized using both x-ray diffraction and high-resolution electron microscopy; this was done to assess the effect of the nanostructure on a possible “supermodulus effect.” The films are nanostructurally very similar to the superlattice films employed in previous studies at Northwestern in which a supermodulus effect was reported. But, contrary to previous studies, no anomalous behavior was observed for the measured elastic properties of the thin films. Therefore the present results negate the earlier results and cast a serious doubt on the existence of a supermodulus effect.

The objective of this work is to investigate the stimulation effect of the addition of alkali on the fly ash and slag for stabilizing dredged silt. Based on the test results, a viable alternative for the final disposal of dredged silt as subgrade construction materials were proposed. For this purpose, several mixtures of dredged silt-fly ash-slag and alkali were prepared and stabilized/solidified. In this system, fly ash and slag were used as hardening agents (solidified materials) of dredged silt and alkali was used as activator of fly ash and slag. The shear strength of the mixture was tested by several direct shear tests. Furthermore, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis was used to determine the hydration products of the system. The specimens were tested in order to determine the shear strength changes versus hydration time and the alkali content. It is indicated that mechanical properties of solidified silt are improved significantly by addition of fly ash and slag stimulated by alkali.

AbstractPowder metallurgy is a progressive branch of engineering that enables engineers to fabricate difficult-to-make parts and materials that are used in many industrial areas. Joining this class of materials is a difficult task due to their intrinsic limitations, such as porosity and thermal properties. In this study, varying ratios of Co powder additions to Nix+Aly powder mixture were made prior to sintering at 600°C. The sintered samples were brazed in both microwave and traditional tube furnaces by placing brazing filler alloy between the sintered specimens without added weight at 950°C for 15 min. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques were employed to characterize the brazed samples and the joints. Shear strength and hardness of brazed joints were also determined.
