X-ray diffraction stress analysis by crystallite group method (CGM) has been employed in case of simultaneously strong and sharp fiber textured Ti thin films. These Ti films exhibit thickness dependent hcp-fcc phase transformation [Ref. 1]. Diffraction stress analysis has also been attempted by d-sin2 method for strongly textured face centered cubic (fcc) and hexagonal close packed (hcp) Ti phases. For hcp Ti phase, the results of stress analysis by CGM are compared with those obtained from d-sin2 method. It is found that the stress values in hcp Ti phases obtained from CGM considerably differ from the stresses obtained from d-sin2 method in some of the Ti films. Observed differences have been explained and possible sources of errors in d-sin2 method and CGM stress analysis have been discussed.

In this study, aiming to obtain high performance nanocatalysts for NaBH4 hydrolysis, Co3Ni film composed of nanosheets with a mean thickness of 10 nm was fabricated by a magnetic field induced deposition process. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that the as-prepared Co3Ni film is presented in both face-centered cubic phase and hexagonal close-packed phase. The nanostructured Co3Ni film catalyst showed good catalytic activity in the hydrolysis of NaBH4 and the rate constant was 5.77 mL·min-1. It was revealed that Co3Ni film catalysts didnt lose their catalytic original activity essentially after 10 cycles, which exhibited much improved reusability and stability compared with with recently reported nanocatalysts.

Bulk austenitic stainless steels (SS) have a face-centered cubic (fcc) structure. However, sputter deposited films synthesized using austenitic stainless steel targets usually exhibit body-centered cubic (bcc) structure or a mixture of fcc and bcc phases. This paper presents studies on the effect of processing parameters on the phase stability of 304 and 330 SS thin films. The 304 SS thin films with in-plane, biaxial residual stresses in the range of approximately 1 GPa (tensile) to approximately 300 MPa (compressive) exhibited only bcc structure. The retention of bcc 304 SS after high-temperature annealing followed by slow furnace cooling indicates depletion of Ni in as-sputtered 304 SS films. The 330 SS films sputtered at room temperature possess pure fcc phase. The Ni content and the substrate temperature during deposition are crucial factors in determining the phase stability in sputter deposited austenitic SS films.

AbstractThe processes of phase transformation in individual nanoparticles of FePt and FePtCu synthesized by the reverse micelle method, which are chemically homogeneous and monodisperse, have been investigated by an in-situ HREM observation in a FE-TEM. Polycrystalline FePt particles, initially of chemically disordered face-centered cubic phase (A1) were reconstructed into A1 single crystals between 25 °C and 650 °C, followed by phase transformation from A1 to chemically ordered face-centered tetragonal phase (L10) which began between 650 °C and 680 °C. The coalescence began concurrently with phase transformation, i. e., between 650 °C and 680 °C. They turned to be a round-shaped L10 particle between 680 °C and 720 °C. The single crystal formation, the phase transformation from A1 to L10, the coalescence and the round-shaped particle formation were also observed in the FePtCu nanoparticles. The temperatures of single crystal formation, phase transformation (and coalescence) and round-shaped particle formation of the FePtCu nanoparticles were between 25 °C and 500 °C, between 550 °C and 600 °C and between 600 °C and 650 °C, respectively. These temperatures were substantially lower than those for the FePt nanoparticles.

Sintered State

Although a cobalt–chromium (Co–Cr) blank in a pre-sintered state has been developed, there are few data on the optimal temperature for the alloy in terms of the desired mechanical properties. A metal block (Soft Metal, LHK, Chilgok, Korea) was milled to produce either disc-shaped or dumbbell-shaped specimens. All the milled specimens were post-sintered in a furnace at 1250, 1350 or 1450 °C. The microstructures, shrinkage and density of the three different alloys were investigated using the disc-shaped specimens. The mechanical properties were investigated with a tensile test according to ISO 22674 (n = 6). The number and size of the pores in the alloys decreased with increased temperature. The shrinkage and density of the alloys increased with temperature. In the 1250 °C alloy, the formation of the ε (hexagonal close-packed) phase was more predominant than that of the γ (face-centered cubic) phase. The 1350 °C and 1450 °C alloys showed γ phase formation more predominantly. Carbide formation was increased along with temperature. The 1450 °C group showed the largest grain size among the three groups. In general, the 1350 °C group exhibited mechanical properties superior to the 1250 °C and 1450 °C groups. These findings suggest that 1350 °C was the most optimal post-sintering temperature for the pre-sintered blank.

The occurrence of size effects in cobalt was examined by the analysis of mechanical properties of samples with thickness t, in a large range of grain size d giving a number of grains across the thickness t/d. On Hall-Petch plots, from the very beginning of plastic strain, two linear behaviors are notable: the polycrystalline one for higher t/d and the multicrystalline one for lower t/d in which the flow stress is strongly reduced. (t/d)c is the threshold value between the two behaviors taking a value of around 14. This high value is directly linked to the low stacking fault energy of cobalt. The microstructure of the polycrystalline samples exhibits a strong basal texture and a small proportion of a secondary face-centered cubic phase in a hexagonal close-packed main phase was evidenced. TEM analysis enables to characterize the dislocations and the stacking faults present in the two phases. To complete the analysis, two plasticity stages can be distinguished: stage A corresponding to dislocations gliding and stage B driven by twinning. Size effects in cobalt are found to occur during gliding process and could be related to surface effects as previously shown in face-centered cubic metals.
