AbstractDiffusion of cations along the polymer/metal interface controls the rate of blistering of polymer coatings on metals exposed to electrolytes. Cations are driven by both concentration and electrical potential gradients. A theoretical and experimental study was carried out on the diffusion of sodium ion along the polymer coating/steel interface under an applied potential. Mathematical models, consisting of initial and propagation stages, are derived based on a moving boundary diffusion problem. Model variables include ion diffusivity, potential gradient and distance between defects and delamination sites. Models are solved to predict ion fluxes and concentration in the blistering areas. Experimental data are analyzed to extract model parameters. Model predictions agreed well with experimental data and practical observations

It has been known for some time that the addition of small oxide particles to an 80 Ni—20 Cr alloy not only increases its elevated-temperature strength, but also markedly improves its resistance to oxidation. The mechanism by which the oxide dispersoid enhances the oxidation resistance is being studied collaboratively by ORNL and INCO Alloy Products Company.Initial experiments were performed using INCONEL alloy MA754, which is nominally: 78 Ni, 20 Cr, 0.05 C, 0.3 Al, 0.5 Ti, 1.0 Fe, and 0.6 Y2O3 (wt %).Small disks (3 mm diam × 0.38 mm thick) were cut from MA754 plate stock and prepared with two different surface conditions. The first was prepared by mechanically polishing one side of a disk through 0.5 μm diamond on a syntron polisher while the second used an additional sulfuric acid-methanol electropolishing treatment to remove the cold-worked surface layer. Disks having both surface treatments were oxidized in a radiantly heated furnace for 30 s at 1000°C. Three different environments were investigated: hydrogen with nominal dew points of 0°C, —25°C, and —55°C. The oxide particles and films were examined in TEM by using extraction replicas (carbon) and by backpolishing to the oxide/metal interface. The particles were analyzed by EDS and SAD.

In thermal oxidation studies, the structure of the oxide-metal interface and the near-surface region is of great importance. A technique has been developed for constructing cross-sectional samples of oxidized aluminum alloys, which reveal these regions. The specimen preparation procedure is as follows: An ultra-sonic drill is used to cut a 3mm diameter disc from a 1.0mm thick sheet of the material. The disc is mounted on a brass block with low-melting wax, and a 1.0mm hole is drilled in the disc using a #60 drill bit. The drill is positioned so that the edge of the hole is tangent to the center of the disc (Fig. 1) . The disc is removed from the mount and cleaned with acetone to remove any traces of wax. To remove the cold-worked layer from the surface of the hole, the disc is placed in a standard sample holder for a Tenupol electropolisher so that the hole is in the center of the area to be polished.

Transmission and analytical electron microscopic studies of scale microstructures and microscopic marker experiments have been carried out in order to determine the transport mechanism in the oxidation of Ni-Al alloy. According to the classical theory, the oxidation of nickel takes place by transport of Ni cations across the scale forming new oxide at the scale/gas interface. Any markers deposited on the Ni surface are expected to remain at the scale/metal interface after oxidation. This investigation using TEM transverse section techniques and deposited microscopic markers shows a different result,which indicates that a considerable amount of oxygen was transported inward. This is the first time that such fine-scale markers have been coupled with high resolution characterization instruments such as TEM/STEM to provide detailed information about evolution of oxide scale microstructure.

The One

The method of first integrals (MFI) based on the equation of motion for the displacement vector, or  based on the one for the traction vector was introduced  recently in order to find explicit secular equations of Rayleigh waves whose characteristic equations (i.e the equations determining the attenuation factor) are fully quartic or are of higher order (then the classical approach is not applicable). In this paper it is shown that, not only to Rayleigh waves,  the MFI can be applicable also to other waves by running it on the equations for mixed vectors. In particular: (i) By applying the MFI  to the equations for the displacement-traction vector we get the explicit dispersion equations of Stoneley waves in twinned crystals (ii)  Running the MFI on the equations for the traction-electric induction vector and the traction-electrical potential vector provides the explicit dispersion equations of SH-waves in piezoelastic materials. The obtained dispersion equations are identical with the ones previously derived using the method of polarization vector, but the procedure of driving them is more simple.

<div><div><div><p>One of the fascinating properties of metal-semiconductor Schottky-barriers, which has been observed for some material combinations, is memristive behavior. Memristors are smart, since they can reversibly switch between a low resistance state and a high resistance state. The devices offer a great potential for advanced computing and data storage, including neuromorphic networks and resistive random-access memory. However, as for many other cases, the presence of a real interface (metal - metal oxide) has numerous disadvantages. The realization of interface-free, respectively Schottky-barrier free memristors is highly desirable. The aim of the current paper is the generation of nanowire arrays with each nanorod possessing the same crystal phase (Rutile) and segments only differing in composition. The electric conductivity is realized by segments made of highly-doped antimony tin oxide (ATO) transitioning into pure tin oxide (TO). Complex nanoarchitectures are presented, which include ATO-TO, ATO-TO-ATO nanowires either with a stepwise distribution of antimony or as a graded functional material. The electrical characterization of the materials reveals that the introduction of memristive properties in such structures is possible. The special features observed in voltage-current (IV) curves are correlated to the behavior of mobile oxygen vacancies (VO..) at different values of applied electrical potential.</p></div></div></div>
