ABSTRACTThe effects of heat treatment of polysilicon and amorphous Si films on their microstructure and thermal stability of polycides formed on these films have been studied. The number of grain boundaries decreases after pre-silicidation heat treatment in polysilicon due to grain growth but increases in amorphous Si due to nucleation. Since the thermal stability of CoSi2 polycide films was found to be closely related to the number of grain boundaries in the underlying silicon substrate, pre-silicidation heat treatments degrade the thermal stability of CoSi2 on as-deposited amorphous Si and improve the thermal stability of CoSi2 on asdeposited polysilicon. Doping does not have as pronounced an effects as substrate microstructure on CoSi21 polycide thermal stability, especially when dopants are introduced after silicidation by ion implantation.

In this work, the effect of pre-strain cold rolling on thermal stability of friction-stir welded AA6061-T6 alloy was studied. The pre-strain rolling was found to be very effective in suppression of abnormal grain growth during standard post-weld T6 heat treatment. It was also shown that the efficiency of this approach essentially depends on rolling path and the rolling along welding direction was the most effective rolling schedule.

The key task in the solidification of high-level waste (HLW) into a magnesium potassium phosphate (MPP) compound is the immobilization of mobile cesium isotopes, the activity of which provides the main contribution to the total HLW activity. In addition, the obtained compound containing heat-generating radionuclides can be significantly heated, which increases the necessity of its thermal stability. The current work is aimed at assessing the impact of various methodological approaches to HLW solidification on the thermal stability of the MPP compound, which is evaluated by the mechanical strength of the compound and its resistance to cesium leaching. High-salt surrogate HLW solution (S-HLW) used in the investigation was prepared for solidification by adding sorbents of various types binding at least 93% of 137Cs: ferrocyanide K-Ni (FKN), natural zeolite (NZ), synthetic zeolite Na-mordenite (MOR), and silicotungstic acid (STA). Prepared S-HLW was solidified into the MPP compound. Wollastonite (W) and NZ as fillers were added to the compound composition in the case of using FKN and STA, respectively. It was found that heat treatment up to 450 °C of the compound containing FKN and W (MPP-FKN-W) almost did not affect its compressive strength (about 12–19 МPa), and it led to a decrease of high compressive strength (40–50 MPa) of the compounds containing NZ, MOR, and STA (MPP-NZ, MPP-MOR, and MPP-STA-NZ, respectively) by an average of 2–3 times. It was shown that the differential leaching rate of 137Cs on the 28th day from MPP-FKN-W after heating to 250 °C was 5.3 × 10−6 g/(cm2∙day), however, at a higher temperature, it increased by 20 and more times. The differential leaching rate of 137Cs from MPP-NZ, MPP-MOR, and MPP-STA-NZ had values of (2.9–11) × 10−5 g/(cm2∙day), while the dependence on the heat treatment temperature of the compound was negligible.

ABSTRACTThe effect of the crystallographic orientation of underlying poly-Si film on the thermal stability of the TiSi2 film was studied. Different preferred orientations of the poly-Si film were obtained by annealing poly-Si or amorphous Si films at various temperatures. The TiSi2 film was formed by the solid-state reaction of the Ti film sputtered on the poly-Si film. The thermal stability of the TiSi2 film was evaluated by changes in the sheet resistance and microstructural evolution during furnace anneals. The TiSi2 film on poly-Si with the <110> preferred orientation shows more stable conductivity during high temperature anneals than with the <111> orientation. The surface energy of underlying poly-Si is expected to influence the thermal stability of the TiSi2/poly-Si structure significantly. Better thermal stability of the TiSi2 film can be obtained by the higher surface energy of underlying poly-Si.

Even though the (75 NaPO3-25 CaF2) (in mol%) glass can be heat-treated into transparent glass-ceramic with Er3+ doped CaF2 crystals precipitating in the volume of the glass during heat-treatment, this glass was found to be a poor glass former, limiting its use as upconverter under 975 nm pumping. In this study, the impact of the glass composition on the thermal, optical and structural properties of the glass was investigated in order to understand how the glass composition can be tailored for the development of thermally stable upconverter glass-based material. The addition of MgO, Fe2O3 and Al2O3 in the NaPO3-CaF2 glass system increases the thermal stability of glass due to the depolymerization of the glass network. However, the changes in the glass composition also impacted on the nucleation and growth process. Indeed, CaF2 and other crystals were found in the newly developed glasses after heat-treatment leading to glass-ceramics with lower intensity of upconversion than the (75 NaPO3-25 CaF2) glass-ceramic used as a reference. Glasses were also prepared with different concentrations of Er2O3 and ErF3. These glasses were found to be promising as not only are they thermally stable, but they also exhibit green and red emission with high intensity under 975 nm pumping due to Er3+ clustering.

AbstractCryogenic ball milling of Fe-10 wt.%Al in liquid argon is shown to produce a nanocrystalline microstructure with high thermal stability against grain growth. The experimental evidence suggests that this stability may originate from the presence of fine γ-Al2O3 particles which pin the Fe grain boundaries. In contrast, Fe3O4 particles formed during cryomilling of Fe in liquid nitrogen were not able to impede grain growth during consolidation at 823 K. The interactions between the γ-Al2O3 particles and the grain boundaries during growth may be described by Gladman's theory. Additional stabilization against grain growth may have been provided by the presence of Al at the Fe grain boundaries. Following annealing at 1223 K, the grain size of the Fe-10 wt.%Al powders cryomilled in liquid argon was 13.3 ± 7.9 nm, but it exceeded 1700 nm following annealing at 1373 K. The loss of nanocrystalline structure may be attributed to the Ostwald ripening of γ-Al2O3 particles, resulting in abnormal grain growth.

The thermal stability is important for tungsten based alloys as plasma facing materials to survive against high heat flux in fusion reactors. In this work, the thermal stability of W-5%V alloy fabricated following a powder metallurgy route by spark plasma sintering technique has been studied. To investigate the impact of temperature on the mechanical properties and microstructures, the alloy was subjected to heat treatment for 2 h over the temperature range 900–1500°C in a pure argon furnace. The micro-hardness values of the heat treated alloys were highly stable as compared to pure tungsten. A slight decrease flexural strength was observed with increasing annealing temperature. The maximum change flexural strength at the highest treated temperature was noted about 14% lower. The morphology analyses of the crack surfaces by scanning electron microscopy did not identify a drastic change in tungsten grain size, after heat treatment. The results indicate that the addition of vanadium in tungsten improves the overall thermal stability of microstructures and mechanical properties.

ABSTRACTThe role of alloying elements such as Cr and Al in the formation and stability of the nitride phases formed due to N ion implantation into metallic iron was studied by conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy (CEMS). The thermal stability of nitride phases upon 1 h annealing was greatly increased as a result of co-implanting either Cr or Al with N as compared to pure α-Fe implanted only with N.
