Cavity Evolution

ABSTRACTWe have characterized the evolution of cavities during tensile creep of a Y2O3-hot isostatically pressed Si3N4, using precision density measurements, small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The cavities are bimodally distributed in size. Lenticular, 200 nm-size cavities are common, and lie primarily on two-grain boundaries. Irregularly shaped 500-1000 nm-size cavities are rare and lie at multi-grain junctions, but comprise approximately half of the total volume fraction of cavities. Although the material shows a continuous decrease in strain rate with strain, the cavity volume fraction evolves linearly with strain. Cavities account for approximately 85% of the total strain at any point during creep.

AbstractA study of the reversion process in Al-Zn-Mg alloys has been made using small-angle X-ray scattering and transmission electron microscopy techniques. The rate and mode of Guinier-Preston zone dissolutions was investigated as a function of magnesium content, prior zone radius, and reversion temperature. Results indicate that in this system the reversion process is characterized by the preferential dissolution of the smallest G-P zones present after cold aging with a corresponding decrease in the volume fraction of zones. The amount of reversion at a specific temperature is dependent on magnesium content, however, the rate of reversion is independent of magnesium content.

Evolution With Time

The 3C-6H polytypic transition in 3C-SiC single crystals is studied by means of diffuse X-ray scattering (DXS) coupled with transmission electron microscopy (TEM). TEM reveals that the partially transformed SiC crystals contain regions of significantly transformed SiC (characterized by a high density of stacking faults) co-existing with regions of pure 3C-SiC. The simulation of the diffuse intensity allows to determine both the volume fraction of transformed material and the transformation level within these regions. It is further shown that the evolution with time and temperature of the transition implies the multiplication and glide of partial dislocations, the kinetics of which are quantified by means of DXS.

Different Temperatures

The higher mechanical strength of Al87Ce3Ni8.5Mn1.5 nanophase amorphous composites has been obtained with two methods. The first nanophase amorphous composites are directly produced by the single roller spin quenching technology. The method taken for the second nanophase amorphous composites is at first to obtain amorphous single-phase alloy, followed by annealed at different temperatures .The formative condition, the microstructure, the particle size, the volume fraction of α-Al phase and microhardness of nanophase amorphous composites etc have been investigated and compared by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The microstructure of composites produced by the second method is higher than the former, the fabricated material structure of the system is more uniform and the process is easier to control.

Synthetic Crystals

Both natural and synthetic crystals of pyrite, FeS2−x, have been analyzed chemically and examined structurally by transmission electron microscopy and x-ray powder diffraction. Chemical analysis and density measurements have shown the synthetic crystals, grown at 850 K, are frequently deficient in sulfur, with a composition of FeS2−x with x ⋚ 0.15. From a refinement of the pyrite structure using the integral intensities of the x-ray powder pattern, a variation in the sulfur population parameter was obtained ranging from 0.87(2) to 1.03(3). A correlation according to Vegard's rule between the population factor and the lattice parameter a0 has been proven. Transmission electron microscope examination revealed that the crystals did not contain a significant population of disorder defects which may account for this apparent sulfur deficit. Therefore the nonstoichiometry in pyrite has to be interpreted in terms of S vacancies which can be understood as the tendency of the material to reduce the high anion content in the unit cell. The structural nature of nonstoichiometric pyrite is discussed in relationship to other related disulfides.
