The plasma paste boriding process was used for production of the borided layers on pure nickel and nickel-chromium alloys. The produced layers consisted of nickel borides only (in the case of nickel) or a nickel and chromium borides mixture (in the case Ni–Cr alloys). The objective of this investigation was to indicate the importance of the presence of chromium for corrosion resistance of non-borided alloys, as well as to indicate the influence of phase composition of borided layers on their corrosion resistance. Pure nickel was characterized by higher corrosion resistance, in comparison to the nickel-based alloys. Increased chromium content in nickel alloys resulted in their high susceptibility for pitting corrosion. All borided samples were characterized by higher corrosion resistance than the non-borided samples. However, the phase composition of borided layers influenced their corrosion resistance. Due to the microstructure which consisted of one type of borides (nickel borides), borided nickel had the highest resistance to corrosion, whereas the presence of chromium borides in layers produced on nickel-chromium alloys caused a decrease in corrosion resistance.

Spherical submicron particles of materials produced by electrohydrodynamic (EHD) atomization have been used to study a variety of materials processes including nucleation of alternative crystallization phases in iron-nickel and nickel-chromium alloys, amorphous solidification in submicron droplets of pure metals, and quasi-crystal formation in nickel-chromium alloys. Some experiments on pure nickel, nickel oxide single crystals, the nickel/nickel(II) oxide interface, and grain boundaries in nickel monoxide have been performed by STEM. For these latter studies, HREM is the most direct approach to obtain particle crystal structures at the atomic level. Grain boundaries in nickel oxide have also been investigated by HREM. In this paper, we present preliminary results of HREM observations of NiO growth on submicron spheres of pure nickel.Small particles of pure nickel were prepared by EHD atomization. For the study of pure nickel, 0.5 mm diameter pure nickel wire (99.9975%) is sprayed directly in the EHD process. The liquid droplets solidify in free-flight through a vacuum chamber operated at about 10-7 torr.

The effects of aluminising on the hot corrosion resistance of two nickel-chromium alloys containing 10 and 30 weight percent chromium, respectively, were examined. The Ni/Cr specimens were aluminised by pack cementation in Ar and underwent cyclic hot corrosion testing in Na2SO4- NaCl molten salt. XRD analysis indicated that a NiAl phase formed between the coating layer and substrate. Cyclic hot corrosion test results indicated that the effects of aluminising are more pronounced in the case of the 10 % Cr than in the case of 30 % Cr. The ductile NiAl phase suppressed the potential for crack initiation during thermal cycling of the 10 % Cr specimens, and reinforced the hot cyclic corrosion resistance in molten salt for the 30 % Cr specimens.

The icosahedral quasicrystal with a fivefold rotation symmetry was first reported in Al-M (M = Cr, Mn, Fe) alloys. Later, quasicrystals with eightfold, tenfold, and twelvefold rotation symmetries were also reported. A twelvefold symmetry has been found in a Ni-70.6 at%Cr alloy and an eightfold symmetry has been found in a Cr-Ni-Si alloy. This indicates a potential for nickel-chromium alloys to form the quasicrystal phase.An intermediate state between crystalline and quasicrystalline states is also discussed by Li, Teng, et. al. in an Al-Cu-Mg alloy due to the coexistence of micro-quasicrystal and micro-crystal grains. When regions larger than 1 nm are measured, a coherent boundary is found between micro-quasicrystal and micro-crystal grains.A diffraction pattern with seemingly twelvefold symmetry is found in pure nickel and Ni-20at%Cr sphere of about 25 nm diameter as shown in Figure 1. The diffraction patterns do not have true twelvefold symmetry but the first diffraction ring is found to have twelve diffracted spots. Similar structures are found in Ni-10at%Cr and shown in Figure 2 with a series of diffraction patterns.
