Aluminum Silicon

Thin films of aluminum or aluminum-silicon can be used in conjunction with thin films of chromium in integrated electronic circuits. For some applications, these films exhibit undesirable reactions; in particular, intermetallic formation below 500 C must be inhibited or prevented. The Al films, being the principal current carriers in interconnective metal applications, are usually much thicker than the Cr; so one might expect Al-rich intermetallics to form when the processing temperature goes out of control. Unfortunately, the JCPDS and the literature do not contain enough data on the Al-rich phases CrAl7 and Cr2Al11, and the determination of these data was a secondary aim of this work.To define a matrix of Cr-Al diffusion couples, Cr-Al films were deposited with two sets of variables: Al or Al-Si, and broken vacuum or single pumpdown. All films were deposited on 2-1/4-inch thermally oxidized Si substrates. A 500-Å layer of Cr was deposited at 120 Å/min on substrates at room temperature, in a vacuum system that had been pumped to 2 x 10-6 Torr. Then, with or without vacuum break, a 1000-Å layer of Al or Al-Si was deposited at 35 Å/s, with the substrates still at room temperature.

Step Down

Step down DC-DC converters are power electronic circuits, which mainly used to convert voltage from a level to a lower level. In this paper, a discontinuous controller is proposed as a control method in order to control Step-Down DC-DC converters. A Lyapunov stability criterion is used to mathematically prove the ability of the proposed controller to give the desired voltage. Simulationsl1 are performedl1 in MATLABl1 software. The simulationl1 resultsl1 are presentedl1 for changesl1 in referencel1 voltagel1 and inputl1 voltagel1 as well as stepl1 loadl1 variations. The resultsl1 showl1 the goodl1 performancel1 of the proposedl1 discontinuousl1 controller.

The application of mixed corrosion inhibitor (CI), which is an equimolar composition of oleoyl sarcosinate (SOS) and sodium flufenamate (SFF), for protection of D16 aluminum alloy from atmospheric corrosion has been studied. The polarization measurements used to assess the effectiveness of preliminary passivation of the alloy with solutions of SOS, SFF and their composition showed significant advantages of mixed CI. The XPS method was used to study features of CI adsorption on the surface of D16 alloy. It has been established that upon adsorption of SOS and SFF separately a monolayer is formed, firmly bonded to the alloy surface, thickness of which is not exceeding 2.6—3.2 nm. After the joint adsorption of these CI, the layer thickness reaches 12—20 nm. The composition of this layer includes a considerable amount of Al3+ ions (~20%) related to their compounds with SFF and SOS, as well as to aluminum hydroxides. A possible mechanism for the formation of such a protective layer is proposed. The results of corrosion tests in a humid atmosphere with daily water condensation on samples of D16 alloy confirmed the high protective ability of the mixed CI film.

Abstract AK Steel Type 304 is a chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steel. It is a variation of the base 18-8 grade, but with higher chromium and lower carbon content. The lower carbon content minimizes carbide precipitation due to welding and reduces its susceptibility to intergranular corrosion. Type 304 is the most versatile and widely used stainless steel grade. It combines good resistance to atmospheric corrosion and to many chemicals, food, and beverages. It has excellent formability. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, tensile properties as well as fatigue. It also includes information on low and high temperature performance, and corrosion resistance as well as forming and joining. Filing Code: SS-1317. Producer or source: AK Steel Corporation.
