ABSTRACTNi3Al and NiAl pre-alloyed powders produced by argon gas atomization are investigated by light and transmission electron microscopy concerning their structure, chemical and phase composition. For example, Ni3Al powder consists of a L12 matrix (γ′ -phase) with precipitates whose Al content is 6% higher than in the matrix. Selected single powder particles were isothermally deformed in a modified high resolution dilatometer to investigate the creep behavior. From these experiments HIP parameters are predicted and compared with HIP experiments at different pressures and temperatures. HIP diagrams were calculated according to Ashby's model.

The microstructure in AO-excess SrTiO3 (A = Sr2+, Ca2+, Ba2+) ceramics is strongly affected by the formation of Ruddlesden-Popper fault–rich (RP fault) lamellae, which are coherently intergrown with the matrix of the perovskite grains. We studied the structure and chemistry of RP faults by applying quantitative high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy analyses. We showed that the Sr2+ and Ca2+ dopant ions form RP faults during the initial stage of sintering. The final microstructure showed preferentially grown RP fault lamellae embedded in the central part of the anisotropic perovskite grains. In contrast, the dopant Ba2+ ions preferably substituted for Sr2+ in the SrTiO3 matrix by forming a BaxSr1−xTiO3 solid solution. The surplus of Sr2+ ions was compensated structurally in the later stages of sintering by the formation of SrO-rich RP faults. The resulting microstructure showed RP fault lamellae located at the surface of equiaxed BaxSr1-xTiO3 perovskite grains.

Abstract Titanium carbide particle (TiCp)-reinforced Ni alloy composite coatings are synthesized by laser cladding using a cw 3 kW CO2 laser. Two kinds of coatings are possible in terms of the origin of TiCp: undissolved TiCp and in-situ generated TiCp. The former originates from the TiCp pre-coated on the sample whereas the latter from in-situ chemical reaction between titanium and graphite in the molten pool during laser irradiation. For the coating reinforced by TiCp formed in-situ, the sub-micron TiCp particles are formed and uniformly distributed because of the in-situ reaction and trapping effect during rapid solidification. Graded distribution of TiCp is obtained on a macro scale. The volume fraction increases from 1.86% at the coating-substrate interface to 38.4% at the coating surface. For the coating reinforced by undissolved TiCp, analytical transmission electron microscopy (ATEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) observations show the existence of the epitaxial growth of TiC, the precipitation of CrB and M23C6, and the chemical reaction between Ti and B elements around phase interfaces of undissolved TiCp. In the matrix near the phase interface of undissolved TiCp, the loading curve obtained by nanoindenter exhibits pop-in phenomena due to the plastic deformation of cracks or debonding of TiCp from the matrix. For TiCp generated in-situ, no pop-in mark appears, indicating high fracture toughness. Coating with TiCp generated in-situ exhibits higher hardness and modulus than the coating with undissolved TiCp at regions near the phase interface. The coating reinforced by TiCp generated in-situ also displays higher impact wear resistance and abrasive wear resistance compared to the coatings with undissolved TiCp and without TiCp respectively.

Single-crystalline BaTiO3 nanoparticles and BaCO3 nanowires were synthesized respectively through the use of a reverse micelle as a medium in the same Oleic acid/n-octane/H2O system, by changing the H2O2 dosage. Both the phase composition and the morphology can be controled. The samples derived were characterized with X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The formation mechanism has been fully discussed.

The Cr precipitation sequence in Cu-Cr-Zr-Ag alloy during the aging process at 450°C could be obtained by Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and High-resolution transmission microscopy (HRTEM) in the study. The strengthening curve shows a unimodal type and the tensile strength trends to peak when the aged for 4h. The Cr phase transformation of Cu-Cr-Zr-Ag aged at 450°C is supersaturated solid sloution→G.P zones→fcc Cr phase→order fcc Cr phase→bcc Cr phase. The orientation relationship between bcc Cr precipitates and the matrix change from cube-on-cube to NW-OR.

Transparent oxyflouride glass ceramics composed of SiO2–Al2O3–Na2O–NaF–YF3 tri-coped with Nd3+/Yb3+/Ho3+ were prepared by thermal treatment. Segregation of NaYF4 nanocrystals in the matrix was confirmed from structural analysis by means of X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Compared with glass samples, very strong green upconversion (UC) luminescence due to the Ho3+:(4F5, 5S2)→5I8 transition was observed in the glass ceramics under 808 nm excitation. It was found that upconversion intensity of Ho3+ strongly depends on the Nd3+ concentration, and the energy transfer process from Nd3+ to Ho3+ via Yb3+ was proposed.

ABSTRACTTransmission electron microscopy has been used to investigate the morphological development of the perovskite (P-) Ti3AlC carbides in the γ matrix of a Ti-45Al-5Nb-0.75C alloy during annealing. P-Ti3AlC carbides in the γ matrix initially have a needle-like shape but during annealing at 800 °C they change to a plate-like shape. In the needle-like shape the carbides are orientated parallel to the [001] direction of the matrix. They extend along the [100]γ or [010]γ direction into plates later and subsequently split into sub particles after extended annealing. It is proposed that the elastic interaction energy between the split sub domains may be the reason that this decomposition into sub-particles is energetically favorable.

A significant change in microstructure occurs during the application of severe plastic deformation (SPD) such as by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP). In this study, intense plastic strain was imposed on an Al-10.8wt%Ag alloy by the ECAP process. The amount of strain was controlled by the numbers of passes. After 1 pass of ECAP, shear bands became visible within the matrix. With increasing numbers of ECAP passes, the fraction of shear bands was increased. In this study, the change in microstructures was examined by three-dimensional electron tomography (3D-ET) in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) or scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). With this 3D-ET method, it was possible to conduct a precise analysis of the sizes, widths and distributions of the shear bands produced by the ECAP process. It is demonstrated that the 3D-ET method is promising to understand mechanisms of microstructural refinement using the ECAP process.

Potassium bismuth titanate nanoparticles were prepared by the hydrothermal method using Ti ( C 4 H 9 O )4 and Bi ( NO 3)3·5 H 2 O as raw materials in alkaline solution at temperatures of 160–200°C. The crystal phase, particle size, morphology and dispersion of the particles were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that the particles with sizes of about 50–100 nm in diameter are well-dispersed K 0.5 Bi 0.5 TiO 3 (KBT) crystals of tetragonal structure, and the alkaline concentration and the temperature of solutions have great effects on the phase composition and morphology of the resultant particles. We could gain the KBT phase of high purity when the concentration of KOH is about 8–12 M and the reaction temperature is about 170–180°C.
