    Notes: Abstract In this study, a model is developed to explain in microscopic terms the results obtained from thermally activated photoadsorption experiments in a-Se colloids. The observed compensation effect can be described for two different cases. At low efficiency adsorption, the process is controlled by the potential at the boundary layer. In the high efficiency adsorption case, the process is controlled by diffusion transport.

    Notes: Abstract In the DSC technique, isothermal crystallization experiments are usually performed on thin flat specimens, but their interpretation generally uses theories developed for an unbounded volume. In this paper, isothermal crystallization of spherical entities in the volume limited by two parallel infinite planes is considered. Our model, derived from Avrami's theory, gives an analytical expression for the transformed volume fraction as a function of time. It is shown that the influence of thickness becomes important when thickness becomes of the order of or smaller than the average spherulite radius. The main effects of a decreasing thickness are a slower crystallization kinetics and a decrease in the Avrami exponent. These results can be used to interpret experimental data obtained in isothermal polymer crystallization.

    Notes: Abstract The iodine-laser temperature-jump technique has been used to investigate the main phase transition in single shell vesicles of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine. The probe molecules DPH and TMA-DPH were incorporated into the lipid bilayer and laserT-jump experiments with turbidity and flourescence polarization detection were performed. We found three well separated relaxation processes between 5 μs and 10 ms. The relaxation signals showed strong cooperativity in the relaxation times as well as in their corresponding amplituedes. We attributed the relaxation to the formation and dissolution of clusters of different order inside the bilayer.

    Notes: Abstract The dependence of emulsion polymerisation rates on a number of important parameters is considered. Attention is paid to the use of seeded emulsion systems for the evaluation of radical desorption coefficients (k o). Experimental conditions are shown to be important. When the average number of radicals per particle is low, large changes in the rate coefficient for chain termination do not have a large effect on the kinetics. With styrene and methylmethacrylate, radical re-absorption by the polymer particles is shown to be important and radical capture efficiences can be high. Consistency is established between the results of a number of workers and values fork o are shown to be lower than those calculated from chain transfer rates.

    Notes: Abstract The kinetics of isothermal and nonisothermal crystallization of polyamide-6 (PA6) containing titania was studied by means of DSC. It was found thatTiO 2 causes an acceleration in the crystallization of polyamide-6 and lowers the value of the Avrami exponent,n. The presence of TiO2 does not affect equilibrium melting pointT m 0 , glass temperatureT g, or surface free energiesσ e andσ of the basal and lateral surfaces.

    Notes: Abstract The degradation of cellulosic materials, differing mainly in the degree of polymerization and the number of reducing end groups, was studied under the alkaline conditions similar to those existing in a cementitious repository for low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste (pH 13.3, T = 25°C). The kinetics of alkaline degradation (peeling-off reaction) were studied and the data analyzed by the model of Haas et al. [13]. The observed kinetic parameters for the propagation reaction and overall stopping reaction were compared with literature data. Although measured under different experimental conditions, literature data and data from this study show a consistent picture. Differences in the extent of degradation observed for the different cellulosic materials could be satisfactorily explained by differences in reducing end group content and, consequently, by differences in the degrees of polymerization. Besides the number of reducing end groups, the degree of amorphousness also plays an important role. The main degradation products formed under the experimental conditions used are α- and β-(gluco)isosaccharinic acid. This is in agreement with many other studies on alkaline degradation of cellulose. The two isomers are formed in roughly equal amounts.

    Notes: Abstract FEM analysis has proved to be a powerful investigative tool capable of encompassing all the aspects that characterise an SPF process. However, despite the high potential of FEM programs they do not allow one to directly and suitably obtain the thickness of a sheet product for high deformation values, as commonly occurs in SPF processes. Many papers have been published on finite element analysis of S.P.F. process but the question of calculus accuracy in thicknesses of a sheet product has not been directly investigated. This problem has been already considered by the authors in a previous study which proposed an algorithm to determine thicknesses for a specific application. The software set up starts out with the results of the FEM modelling, keeps track of the “deformation” undergone by each element of the mesh and calculates to a good approximation the thicknesses at the end of the forming. Although the original version of the algorithm could only be used for the application studied an updated version is introduced in this study that can be used for any case. In other words, the software generates the thickness profile at the end of the analysis independently of technological set up, item shape and type of simulation (3D and 2D). The proposed algorithm was tested with reference to the superplastic forming of an item of simple geometry beginning with a thin circular plate blocked at the edges and put under constant hydrostatic pressure on one side. The test material, made superplastic by means of a series of repeated laminations, was characterised using an alternative method to the traditional tension test. The results of the experiments are in good accordance with the numerical predictions both in terms of thickness distribution and forming times.

    Notes: Summary Thermal cracking in a ceramic/metal functionally graded plate is discussed. When a functionally graded plate is cooled from high temperature, curved or straight crack paths are experimentally observed on the ceramic surface. One of the reasons that make the crack paths to differ are the thermal or mechanical conditions. In order to clarify the influence of these conditions on the crack path, the crack propagation is simulated using finite element method.

    Notes: Summary A formulation of isotropic thermoplasticity for arbitrary large elastic and plastic strains is presented. The underlying concept is the introduction of a metric transformation tensor which maps a locally defined six-dimensional plastic metric onto the metric of the current configuration. This mixed-variant tensor field provides a basis for the definition of a local isotropic hyperelastic stress response in the thermoplastic solid. Following this fundamental assumption, we derive a consistent internal variable formulation of thermoplasticity in a Lagrangian as well as a Eulerian geometric setting. On the numerical side, we discuss in detail an objective integration algorithm for the mixed-variant plastic flow rule. The special feature here is a new representation of the stress return and the algorithmic elastoplastic moduli in the eigenvalue space of the Eulerian plastic metric for plane problems. Furthermore, an algorithm for the solution of the coupled problem is formulated based on an operator split of the global field equations of thermoplasticity. The paper concludes with two representative numerical simulations of thermoplastic deformation processes.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of different mineral nutrients on the kinetics of methane biodegradation by a mixed culture of methanotrophic bacteria was studied. The substrate factors examined were ammonia, iron, copper, manganese, phosphate, and sulphide. The presence of iron in the growth medium had a strong effect on the yield coefficient. Yield coefficients up to 0.49 mg protein per mg methane were observed when iron was added at concentrations of 0.10–5.0 mg/l. Iron addition also increased the maximum methane utilization rate. The same effect was observed after addition of ammonium to a medium where nitrate was the only nitrogen source. The observed Monod constant for methane utilization increased with increasing concentration of ammonia. This shows that ammonia is a weak competitive inhibitor as observed by other researchers. Relatively high levels of both ammonia (70 mg/l) and copper (300 µg/l) inhibited the methane degradation, probably due to the toxic effect of copper-amine complexes.

    Notes: Abstract Tetradecenyl succinic acid (TSA) is the major component of a detergent builder (C12-C14 alkenyl succinic acid), which is inherently biodegradable. 14C-TSA was dosed as a component of sewage sludge into a soil with a history of sludge amendment at final added concentrations of 1.5 and 30 mg (kg soil)-1. In addition, it was dosed to the soil in an aqueous solution to a final added concentration of 30 mg (kg soil)-1. Dose and form were found to have a pronouced effect on the mineralization kinetics. When dosed in a realistic form and concentration (i.e. 1.5 mg (kg soil)-1 as a component of sludge), TSA was mineralized at its highest rate and to its greatest extent, and the mineralization half-life was 2.4 days. When dosed at 30 mg (kg soil)-1 as a component of sludge, mineralization began immediately, and the half-life was 23 days. In contrast, when dosed at this concentration in aqueous solution, the onset of mineralization was preceded by a 13 day lag period and the mineralization half-life was 69 days. Primary biodegradation and mineralization rates of TSA were very similar. Approximately, half the radioactivity was evolved as 14CO2, while the remaining radioactivity became non-extractable, having presumably been incorporated into biomass or natural soil organic matter (humics). This study demonstrated that TSA is effectively removed from sludge-amended soils as a result of biodegradation. Furthermore, it showed the effect that dose form and concentration have on the biodegradation kinetics and the importance of dosing a chemical not only at a relevant concentration but also in the environmental form in which it enters the soil environment.

    Notes: Abstract Batch experiments were carried out to investigate the stoichiometry and kinetics of microbial degradation of toluene under denitrifying conditions. The inoculum originated from a mixture of sludges from sewage treatment plants with alternating nitrification and denitrification. The culture was able to degrade toluene under anaerobic conditions in the presence of nitrate, nitrite, nitric oxide, or nitrous oxide. No degradation occurred in the absence of Noxides. The culture was also able to use oxygen, but ferric iron could not be used as an electron acceptor. In experiments with14C-labeled toluene, 34%±8% of the carbon was incorporated into the biomass, while 53%±10% was recovered as14CO2, and 6%±2% remained in the medium as nonvolatile water soluble products. The average consumption of nitrate in experiments, where all the reduced nitrate was recovered as nitrite, was 1.3±0.2 mg of nitrate-N per mg of toluene. This nitrate reduction accounted for 70% of the electrons donated during the oxidation of toluene. When nitrate was reduced to nitrogen gas, the consumption was 0.7±0.2 mg per mg of toluene, accounting for 97% of the donated electrons. Since the ammonia concentration decreased during degradation, dissimilatory reduction of nitrate to ammonia was not the reductive process. The degradation of toluene was modelled by classical Monod kinetics. The maximum specific rate of degradation, k, was estimated to be 0.71 mg toluene per mg of protein per hour, and the Monod saturation constant, K s , to be 0.2 mg toluene/l. The maximum specific growth rate, μ max , was estimated to be 0.1 per hour, and the yield coefficient, Y, was 0.14 mg protein per mg toluene.

    Notes: Abstract In batch culture diesel oil was degraded rapidly, with a maximum growth rate (for a consortium of microorganisms) of 0.55 h-1. The corresponding yield Y SX was 0.1 Cmol/Cmol. In a continuous stirred tank reactor the maximum dilution rate was about 0.25 h-1, with a yield of 0.3 Cmol/Cmol. With a residence time of 1 day 82% of the influent oil was degraded. In the batch reactor, of the mixture of linear and branched alkanes the linear alkanes were degraded fastest and with the highest yield. Only after most of the linear alkanes had disappeared were the branched alkanes consumed. In a CSTR a large part of the branched alkanes was not degraded.

    Notes: Abstract Based on the dynamic governing equation of propagating buckle on a beam on a nonlinear elastic foundation, this paper deals with an important problem of buckle arrest by combining the FEM with a time integration technique. A new conclusion completely different from that by the quasistatic analysis about the buckle arrestor design is drawn. This shows that the inertia of the beam cannot be ignored in the analysis under consideration, especially when the buckle propagation is suddenly stopped by the arrestors.

    Notes: Abstract Finite element method (FEM) has been used to analyze the stress and strain fields and the stress tri-axial levels around the tip of the crack under mode- II loading. The results show that: under mode- II loading, the direction of the maximum tensile stress and that of the maximum tri-axial levels (R o ) exist at an angle of −75. 3° from the original crack plane; the maximum shear stress andR o = 0 exist along the original crack plane. Mode- II loading experiment using BHW-35 steel at different temperatures show that there are two kinds of fracture mode, opening mode (or tensile mode) and sliding mode (or shear mode). A decrease in temperature causes the fracture mode to change from shear mode to tensile mode. For BHW-35 steel, this critical temperature is about −90 C. Actually, under any kind of loading mode (mode I . mode II , mode III or mixed mode), there always exist several kinds of potenital fracture modes (for example, opening mode, sliding mode, tearing mode or mixed mode). The effect of temperature under mode- II loading is actually related to the change of the elastic-plastic properties of the material.

    Notes: Abstract A self-equilibrated stress obtained from the stress functions of thin shells is used for the static shakedown theorem as a residual stress. In combination with the finite element method, a linear programming formulation of the shakedown analysis of axisymmetric shells is derived. The physical meaning of the stress function method is clear and its computing amount is small. Some examples of the plates and shells show that the method is reasonable and efficient.

    Notes: Abstract The distinguishing feature of stochastic finite element analysis is that it involves the discretization of the parameter space of random fields of material properties, the geometry of structure and / or the loads. It is shown in earlier investigations that a reasonable procedure of discretization is to take the local averages of the random fields on each element. In the present paper the formulae for the covariance of the local averages of a homogeneous random vector field on rectangular elements are generalized by relaxing the condition. For an inhomogeneous random field and /or non-rectangular elements, a procedure of using Gaussian quadrature to evaluate the means and covariances of the local averages is proposed. Thus, the stochastic finite element method (SFEM) based on the local averages of random fields is adapted to a structure with irregular shape and / or inhomogeneous random fields. The effects of the mesh geometry, the ratio of element size to the correlation scale as well as the number of Gaussian quadrature points on the convergence of SFEM are discussed. It is found that even better results could be obtained by utilizing appropriate Gaussian quadrature instead of exact local average.

Finally, the tensile deformation of the bicrystal aluminium specimen is simulated by means of the crystal elasto-plastic finite element method. The strain-stress curve of tension, the details of the slip deformation and the stress distribution are obtained. So the effect of the region near grain boundary is shown obviously.

    Notes: Abstract This paper deals with the computational methods for limit analysis of plane strain problems. The finite element mathematical programming formula (FE-MPF) for determining the upper bound load multiplier established by the authors earlier is adopted and modified for plane strain problems. The penalty method is used to impose the incompressibility constraint. The FE-MPF is solved by a direct iteration procedure without the need of a searching process. This algorithm is not sensitive to the volumetric locking effect. And it can be easily extended to the limit analysis of three dimensional problems. The results of numerical examples are satisfactory and show the stable convergency of the present algorithm.

    Notes: Abstract This paper is concerned with two mixed plate-bending elements with shear strain interpolations, a quadrilateral element and an 8-node serendipity-type element based on discussions on the element proposed in Ref.[1]. The shear strains and inner-forces in the natural coordinates are interpolated in an element and then transformed into Cartesian coordinates in accordance with covariant and contravariant tensor transformations, respectively. The quadrilateral element coincides with the element in Ref.[1] when it is rectangular. Numerical examples show that the two new elements are free from shear locking and spurious kinematic modes under regular and irregular meshes and have the advantages of being insensitive to element distortion and able to give fairly accurate results.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper a generalized variational principle with two-field variables is derived from the Reissner principle of elasticity in the curvilinear coordinates of a revolution shell, based on which, a new kind of mixed elements with independent transverse rotations is formulated for revolution shells subjected to harmonic external loads. The resultant-stress interpolations are carefully selected so that the shear part of the element stiffness contains the Kirchhoff hypothesis for thin shells and element stiffness matrices have correct ranks. The elements are free from shear locking and spurious kinematic modes. Numerical examples show that the new elements have good generality and high accuracy for thin and moderately-thick revolution shells.

    Notes: Abstract A mixed method of arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian boundary element and finite element method (ALE-BE-FE method) is proposed for solving fluid-structure impact problems, in which the effect of structural deformation due to hydrodynamic pressure is taken into account. In addition, this method also enables us to analyze the influence of nonlinear free surface conditions on the impact response. Two numerical examples of an impacting cylinder and an impacting wedge into an initially calm water treated as 2-D problems are presented. It shows that the proposed method is effective to obtain a fluid-structure impact solution.

    Notes: Abstract Two sets of trial functions with different variables are constructed for the admissible space of the finite element analysis. The trial functions satisfy the equilibrium differential equation inside elements, while the deflections and rotations on the edges of the elements are approximated by the Peano hierarchical interpolation functions. Then, a generalized variational principle is applied to set up the p-version hybrid analytical finite element method for plate bending problems. The accuracy of finite element computation can be improved by increasing the order of the interpolation polynomials with fixed mesh. In the finite element formulation, to obtain the stiffness matrices and the load vectors, it is only necessary to perform quadrature over the edges of the elements. These matrices and vectors possess an embedding structure. The conformability between the elements can be controlled automatically.

    Notes: Abstract The stochastic finite element method (SFEM) based on the local, averages of random fields, which was proposed in [5], is now generalized to analyze the structures with several correlated random parameters. The covariance matrix of the local averages of a random vector field is derived. The SFEM based on the local averages of random vector fields is formulated. The numerical examples show that the generalized SFEM preserves the advantages of the original one, i. e., rapid convergence, good accuracy and insensitivity to the correlation structures of random parameters.

    Notes: Abstract This paper presents some test and analysis results for a spot welded joint subjected to tensile and alternate load. The effect of sheet rigidity on the tensile strength and fatigue life of the spot welded joint is studied by using the stress intensity factorsK I,K II,K III and an “effective stress intensity factor” Kϕθmax calculated by the finite element method for crack around the nugget. The results show that the “effective stress intensity factor” Kϕθmax is an essential parameter for estimating the fatigue life of the spot welded joint.

    Notes: Abstract The plasma decomposition of NH3 has been studied as a function of the residence time, power input, and pressure. The process follows apparently zero-order kinetics, which can be interpreted on the basis of a kinetic mechanism involving as initial step the rupture of an N-H bond from vibro-rotationally excited modecules. Simultaneous spectroscopic observations of the emission light due to electronically excited NH2, NH, H, and N2 have been used to confirm the suggested mechanism and to show that NH2 and NH are successive intermediate species and that the final step of the decomposition process is the bimolecular recombination NH+NH→N2+H2.

    Notes: Abstract Flowing microwave plasma of propylene and propylene with argon was studied by mass spectrometry. Plasma composition was investigated as a function of external parameters such as pressure, argon/propylene ratio, and microwave-induced power. It was found that the propylene broke down to C2H2 and CH4, or reacted further with propylene. Two main products, leading to the determination of three main chain reactions for the polymerization of propylene by ion-molecule interactions, were observed, namely, C2H2 and CH4. These were the propylene, acetylene, and ethylene chain reactions. It was also found that the propylene disappeared in a pseudo-first-order reaction. Consequently an overall rate constant for the polymerization was determined (50 sec−1 at 1 torr pressure for propylene plasma). This constant is found to be linearly dependent upon the propylene percent concentration, and nonlinearly dependent upon plasma pressure.

    Notes: Abstract For the case of weak feed gas decomposition, where the concentration of CCl4 exceeds those of decomposition and built-up products, the emission of CCl* is shown to originate from dissociative excitation of CCl4. With electron concentration measured independently, the kinetics of CCl4 decomposition has been extracted from the time dependence of the CCl* intensity. Supported by EPR determinations of radical concentrations in rapidly flowing CCl4 and CCl4/O2 afterglows, the primary decomposition reaction is shown to be the electron impact dissociation into CCl3 and Cl. Its rate constant (k 1=4×10−8 cm3s−1) indicates strongly that dissociative electron attachment is the main reaction channel at least at r.f. power densities just above the threshold of a self-maintaining discharge. At extremely low mean electron energies the emission of a continuum is observed, which is tentatively ascribed to the radiative CCl3-Cl recombination.

    Notes: Abstract The dynamics of the formation and decay of excited hydrogen during a pulse discharge in methane at a pressure of 200 Pa and energy density of 0.05 J/cm3 has been studied. The population of hydrogen in the n=2 state was monitored by the laser absorption method. The time constant of the decay of the excited hydrogen was measured to be 95±15 ns. The concentration of free electrons reached a maximum value of 7×1014 cm−3, and the time constant of their recombination was 220±50 ns. The formation of appreciable amounts of atomic hydrogen in the ground state during the discharge, H(n=1)〉1016 cm−3, was estimated on the basis of a kinetic model.

    Notes: Abstract Time-resolved mass spectrometry was used for analysis of the plasma reactions in radio frequency (RF) SiCl 4 and SiCl 4 −O 2 discharges as functions of starting partial pressure and electrical power. Molecular concentrations of the reactants and products from SiCl 4 alone and with O 2 were obtained from the mass spectra and used for plotting the kinetic curves. The SiCl 4 and O 2 consumption rates were calculated from the kinetic curves and compared with results of theoretical simulation of the reaction. Direct electron impact decomposition was found to be the main pathway for pure SiCl 4 conversion. On the contrary, the consumption of SiCl 4 in the SiCl 4 +O 2 mixtures was largely chemical. The experimental macrokinetics are in agreement with a model in which oxidation is caused by the atomic oxygen.

    Notes: Abstract The plasma–solution interaction processes for gliding and “point” arcs between the aqueous solution surface and the metal electrode in the gas phase are studied. The plasma, liquid, and surface zones are taken into consideration. The electric field strength is measured, and the gas and electron temperatures and ion composition are estimated for the plasma zone. The cathode fall, water vaporization rate, and active species current yield due to the radiation chemistry mechanism are determined for the surface zone. The efficiency of oxidation of iodine ions and organic dyes by different types of discharge in the liquid zone are investigated. The difference in action of the various discharge types may be connected with various influences of the plasma and surface zone on the oxidation processes.

    Notes: Abstract It is shown that it is basically possible to model plasma-chemical methane conversion using a kinetic concept regardless of the kind of plasma, i.e., the kind of activation. While the temporal plasma-chemical decomposition of methane is controlled by a first-order rate equation, the temporal product formation can be described by a set of first-order consecutive reactions. Prolonged portions of constant product concentrations in the temporal product formation curves were explained by the assumption of an equilibrium between forward and reverse reactions. The modeling revealed the special role of the re-formation of dissociated molecules.

    Notes: Abstract In the present research we theoretically studied the kinetics of nucleation-limited solid state reactions as influenced by the fractal properties of solid reagent. We consider the model of equal-sized primary particles assembled in fractal cluster. The geometry of such an object is assumed to be described solely by its fractal dimension D and by upper (R max) and lower (R min) cutoffs of fractality further identified with the overall size of the object and the size of the primary particle correspondingly. Depending on the ratio between R max, R min and the radius of the critical nucleus R nucl the following cases are considered: (1) R max ∼ R nucl. In this case the reaction kinetics is described by the equation: α = 1 − B{ln(k′ τ + 1)}D/(D−3), where B, k′ are constants. Numerical solution of this equation gives rise to n-order reaction kinetics with n & 1. (2) R min ≪ R nucl ≪ R max. In this case under certain conditions there can exist non-trivial critical density ρcrit ≠ 0, 1 that favors the formation of the critical nuclei of the new phase. The asymptotic kinetic equation for large times corresponds to n-order reaction with n = (D + 3)/(D + 1). (3) R min ≪ R nucl ∼ R max′. In this case the reaction follows the first-order kinetics with D-dependent rate constant.

    Notes: Abstract A high-pressure and high-temperature phase of TiO2 : TiO2 II is formed transiently during room-temperature high-energy ball milling of anatase TiO2 : TiO2 anatase → TiO2 II → TiO2 rutile. Rutile is the only phase present after prolonged ball milling. The present paper focuses on the influences of physical and chemical processing conditions on the transformation kinetics. The effects of two milling parameters on the kinetics of phase transformation of anatase TiO2 were investigated: the nature of milling tools and the powder-to-ball weight ratio R. Granulometric characterizations and TEM observations have demonstrated that the transformation of TiO2 anatase into TiO2 II occurs without fracturing of particles and that TiO2 II nanograins form at the surface of anatase particles. The parameter R affects only the transformation rate. For a given R, the transformation rate is the largest with alumina grinding tools, intermediate with zirconia tools, and the smallest with steel tools. The parameters involved in current models of the mechanical alloying process do not suffice to explain the differences in transformation rates observed here. A parameter, which takes into account the influence of the mechanical properties of grinding materials, is considered.

    Notes: Abstract Oxygen was added to T-111 (Ta-8W-2Hf, wt.%) at 820 and 990°C at an oxygen pressure of about 3×10−4 Torr (4×10−2N/m2). The technique employed permitted predetermined and reproducible doping of T-111 up to 3.0 at% oxygen. Based on the temperature dependence of the doping reaction, it is concluded that the initial rates of oxygen pickup are probably controlled by solution of oxygen into the T-111 lattice. Although hafnium oxides are more stable than those of tantalum or tungsten, analyses of extracted residues indicate that the latter oxides predominate in the as-doped specimens, presumably because of the higher concentrations of tantalum and tungsten in the alloy. However, high-temperature annealing promotes gettering of dissolved oxygen and of other oxides to form hafnium oxides. Small amounts of tantalum and tungsten oxides were still present after high-temperature annealing. Tungsten oxide (WO3) volatilizes slightly from the surface of T-111 at 990°C. The vaporization of WO3 has no apparent affect on the doping reaction.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation of an Fe-38Ni-13Co-4.7Nb-1.5Ti-0.4Si superalloy (Incoloy 909 type alloy), was investigated at temperatures between 1000 K and 1400 K in Ar-(1, 10%)H20 atmosphere using metallographic, electron probe microanalysis, and X-ray diffraction techniques. The oxide scales consist of an external scale and an internal scale which has an intergranular scale (above 1200 K) and an intergranular scale. The oxide phases in each scale are identified asα-Fe2,O3 (below 1200 K) or FeO (above 1300 K) and CoO · Fe2O3 and FeO · Nb2O5, respectively. The morphologies, the oxide phases and the oxidation rates do not depend on the partial pressure of H2O in the range between one and ten percent in Ar gas. The rate constants for the intergranular-scale formation in this alloy are about one-tenth as large as those in Fe-36%Ni alloy reported previously. At all the temperatures the scales grow according to a parabolic rate law and the apparent activation energies for the processes are estimated.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation of α-Fe and ɛ-Fe2N1−z at 573 K and 673 K in O2 at 1 atm was investigated by thermogravimetrical analysis, X-ray diffraction, light-optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and electron probe X-ray microanalysis. Upon oxidation at 573 K and 673 K, on α-Fe initially α-Fe2O3 develops, whereas on ɛ-Fe2N1−z initially Fe3O4 develops. In an early stage of oxidation the oxidation rate of ɛ-Fe2N1−z appears to be much larger than of α-Fe. This can be attributed largely to an effective surface area available for oxygen uptake, which is much larger for ɛ-Fe2N1−z than for α-Fe due to the porous structure of ɛ-Fe2N1−z as prepared by gaseous nitriding of iron. The development of a magnetite layer in-between the hematite layer and the α-Fe substrate, at a later stage of oxidation, enhances layer-growth kinetics. After 100 min oxidation at 673 K the (parabolic) oxidation rates for α-Fe and ɛ-Fe2N1−z become about equal, indicating that on both substrates the oxide growth is controlled by the same rate limiting step which is attributed to short-circuit diffusion of iron cations. Oxidizing ɛ-Fe2N1−z increases the nitrogen concentration in the remaining ɛ-iron nitride, because the outward flux of iron cations, necessary for oxide growth, leads to an accumulation of nitrogen atoms left behind.

    Notes: Abstract The oxide scale formation on γ-TiAl at 800 and 900°C was studied using high temperature X-ray diffraction as anin situ-method. The experiments were performed in air and in He with 20 vol.% O2. The formation of alumina in the form of α-Al2O3 and of TiO2 in the form of rutile was observed in both atmospheres and the formation of TiN was detected in air. Depending on the atmosphere the diffraction peaks of two different additional phases were detected, which do not exist in any data base nor in the Ti-Al-O phase diagram. One of them, the Z-phase, appears in He with 20 vol.% O2 and the other, the X-phase, in air. The Zphase was also found at room temperature after oxidation at 900°C in air. The growth of both phases, X and Z, starts immediately with the oxidation process and follows the parabolic rate law.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation behavior of pure titanium has been investigated in the temperature range of 1000 K to 1300 K in CO2 or Ar-10%CO2. Optical microscopy, electron probe microanalyses, and X-ray measurements on the oxide scales formed during oxidation indicate that their structures are nearly independent of temperature and the corrosion atmosphere. The scales consisted of two layers, an external one and an internal one, having a rutile (TiO2) structure. The parabolic rate law was confirmed for growth of the external scale and the permeation depth of oxygen in titanium with apparent activation energies of 266 and 226 kJ/mol, respectively. The rate-determining diffusion species in the oxidation processes are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Cr was oxidized in 1 aim O2 at 980, 1090, and 1200°C. ElectropolishedCr and some orientations of etched Cr oxidize rapidly and develop compressive stress in the growing Cr2O3; other orientations oxidize slowly, apparently free of stress. SEM examination of fracture sections shows that the thick oxide is polycrystalline whereas the thin oxide on etched Cr is monocrystalline. It is deduced that the monocrystalline oxide grows by lattice diffusion of cations outward, and the polycrystalline layer by the two-way transport of cation diffusion outward and anion diffusion inward along oxide grain boundaries. The consequent formation of oxide within the body of the polycrystalline layer generates compressive stress and leads to wrinkling by plastic deformation. The activation energy for oxidation of Cr by cation lattice transport is 58 kcal/mole. Polycrystalline Cr2O3 forms on Fe-26Cr alloy, whether electropolished or etched; oxidation is accordingly rapid and accompanied by compressive stress.

    Notes: Abstract Thermogravimetry and gas-adsorption chromatography were used to study the kinetics of formation of solid and gaseous products during the hightemperature oxidation of compact boron carbide in oxygen at 740 Torr. Oxidation resistance was observed at temperatures up to 1200°C. The main oxidation products were B2O3 and CO2. Oxidation was paralinear; the carbon consumption exceeded the consumption of boron as compared to the ratio of these elements in the compound B4C. This difference resulted in carbon depletion of the carbide layer in the substrate near the scale〉.

    Notes: Abstract An explanation of the deviation from the parabolic law is the treatment which considers both shortcircuit and lattice diffusion in the oxide scale. In this study we examine how the oxidation kinetics are influenced by changing the structure of the scale of copper oxide in order to confirm the role of short-circuit diffusion in determining the oxidation rate. In addition we explain the oxidation kinetics of copper and nickel by using a model of the scale structure which includes recrystallization and grain growth. Results are as follows: (1) The nucleation and growth behavior of oxide have a direct effect on the structure and in turn the oxidation kinetics due to short-circuit diffusion. (2) A modified treatment is valid in the region where volume diffusion and short-circuit diffusion play an important role in which it is necessary to consider the scale structure such as the grain size distribution and the boundary width. (3) When recrystallization takes place it is necessary to consider the model of a two-layered scale structure which is different in properties and morphology. (4) In this region the rate curves are S-shaped when oxide recrystallization takes place and exhibit a transition from a parabolic to an nth-power relationship (n〉2) when grain growth takes place.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation of tantalum in oxygen-nitrogen and oxygen-inert gas mixtures at925°C has been studied. The oxygen pressure was close to 0.5 atm in all experiments, and partial pressures of the second component of from 0 to 180 Torr were employed. Spherical specimens were used to provide quantitatively significant kinetic data. A model has been proposed which suggests that the oxygen pressure at the reaction interface close to the metal surface is lower than the external pressure because of the finite permeability of the porous outer oxide layer, and that the inert gas effectively reduces the permeability. The model gives good quantitative agreement with the experimental results.

    Notes: Abstract Precise values of parabolic rate constants of cobalt oxidation have been determined over a wide range of temperature (950–1300°C) and oxygen pressure (6.58× 10−4−0.658 atm). The dependence of the calculated values of parabolic rate constants k″p on oxygen pressure and temperature can be described by the following empirical equation: $$k''_p = const. \cdot {\text{p}}_{O_2 }^{{\text{1/n}}} \cdot exp ( - {\text{E}}_{\text{k}} /RT)$$ The exponent 1/n decreases with an increase in temperature from 1/3.40 at 950°C to 1/3.96 at 1300°C, whereas the activation energy Ek decreases with an increase in the oxygen pressure from 41.7 to 38.1 kcal/mole.

The dependence of the reaction kinetics on $${\text{p}}_{CO_2 } $$ , $${\text{p}}_{O_2 } $$ or $${\text{p}}_{N_2 } $$ is discussed. In particular, the rate continuously decreases when $${\text{p}}_{CO_2 } $$ , or $${\text{p}}_{N_2 } $$ increases, but it reaches a maximum as a function of $${\text{p}}_{O_2 } $$ .

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation of Cu-Si alloys (containing up to 4.75 wt. % Si) in $${\text{p}}_{O_2 } $$ =0.01 atm from 800 to 1000°C has been investigated using thermogravimetry and other techniques. A 0.04% Si alloy followed a parabolic oxidation law with a rate similar to that of pure Cu. As the Si concentration increased the rate decreased and became irregular owing to SiO2 particles or flakes at the alloy-scale interface. It is considered that sintering of SiO2 particles and rupture of the sinter because of contraction during sintering are responsible for the irregular kinetics. A SiO2 layer forms directly on the 4.75% Si alloy which oxidizes uniformly. The SiO2 was always amorphous. In pure CO2 a similar pattern of amorphous SiO2 particles, flakes, and layers occurs.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation behavior of several surface and bulk Fe-Cr alloys and iron at 300°C and 4×10−6 Torr oxygen was studied. The surface alloys were fabricated by implantation of 25 keV Cr ions into the outermost 300Å of polycrystalline iron samples. The oxide thickness as a function of oxygen exposure was obtained using proton-excited X-ray analysis, and composition profiles of oxide films were obtained using Auger electron spectroscopy and ion sputtering. The addition of Cr to Fe by surface and bulk alloying caused the oxidation rate to decrease and changed the oxidation kinetics from parabolic (for Fe) to logarithmic (for Cr concentrations ≥4.7at.%). Interpretation of the data in terms of simple oxidation theories indicates that the Cr additions may reduce the oxidation rate by altering the electronic properties of the metal-oxide interface.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation of Fe-C alloys containing 0.5 and 1.0% C was studied in 1 atm O2 at 700° C. The oxidation rate is considerably slower than for pure Fe. The oxide scale formed is detached, multilayered, and overoxidized, containing little or no FeO. A thin film of graphite was identified at the metal-oxide interface by electron diffraction. It is proposed that the slow oxidation and abnormal scale are caused by a residue of graphite left at the metal surface from the oxidation of Fe3C. This inhibition of the oxidation of Fe by carbon at 700°C is in contrast to the stimulation observed at 500°C.

A mixed kinetics case controlled by the formation of surface cation vacancies and their diffusion in the bulk is proposed to explain the reaction process. By means of an equivalent electrical circuit in good agreement with the kinetics model it was possible to reproduce the experimental phenomenon.

For the exposure period investigated (up to 12 h) both alloys oxidized slower than pure Ti. The amount of oxygen dissolved in the Ti-1 wt. % Si alloy has been calculated. X-ray diffraction analyses indicate that the oxide scale is mainly TiO 2 ,except for the Ti-5 wt. % Si alloy oxidized at 1473 K where some evidence of SiO 2 was obtained. Hardness profiles were taken across the Ti-1 wt. % Si alloy matrix.

    Notes: Abstract Oxidation rates in air at 1000–1250°C are reported for a series of Co-Cr-W alloys with 34–40 wt. % Cr and up to 10 wt. % W. Alloys with larger W contents exhibited slower oxidation rates and their parabolic rate constants agreed well with those for binary and ternary, Cr2O3 protected, Ni-base and Co-base alloys in the Co-Cr and Ni-Cr-W systems. The resulting scales were characterized by optical and scanning electron metallography, and electron microprobe analysis. The favorable effect of W additions to a Cr2O3-forming Co-Cr base alloy was the opposite of that reported for Ni-Cr-W alloys. The resupply of Cr to a Cr-depleted matrix beneath a protective CrO3 scale is achieved by the dissolution (denuding) of Cr-rich second phases in the Co-Cr-W alloys. Thus, the internal oxidation of Cr beneath the Cr2O3 scale is avoided for high W alloys. No catastrophic failure by liquid phase formation was observed for high-W alloys oxidized 20 hr at 1250°C.

    Notes: Abstract Cobalt-based alloys containing 3,5,10,15, and 20% Cr with 1 and 3% Ti were oxidized at 1000°C in slowly flowing oxygen gas. In general, titanium additions decreased the oxidation rate with the most pronounced effect being observed at the 10% Cr level. Titanium accelerated the formation of Cr2O3 layers at the metal-oxide interface. Faceted CrxTiyOz spinel particles were found at the metal-oxide interface which varied in composition according to microprobe results. There was no evidence of spalling on the Co-Cr-Ti alloys studied in contrast to the severe spalling normally encountered in Ni-Cr-Ti alloys. Distinct morphological differences existed on the outer CoO layer of the 1% Ti alloys in comparison to the O and 3% Ti alloys.

    Notes: Abstract Several austenitic heat-resistant steels were exposed to alternating periods of carburization at 1273 K [a c= 1,po2〈10−28 atm] and oxidation at 973°K [a c≈ O,po2 = 0.2 atm]. In all cases the depth of internal carbide precipitation increased with cumulative carburization time. It was found that the carburization rates of high nickel content alloys were unaffected by intermittent oxidation cycles, whereas the low nickel, high iron content alloys experienced a reduction in carburization rate subsequent to oxidation treatment. The latter group of alloys formed external scales of chromium-rich M7C3 which were shown by sulfur tracing experiments to be gas permeable. It was concluded, therefore, that oxidation of these materials led to blockage of cracks and holes in the scales, thereby decreasing the surface carbon activity and hence the carburization rate. High nickel, low iron alloys formed external scales of chromium-rich M7C3 covered by Cr3C2. These scales were shown to have very low gas permeabilities. It was concluded that the carbon activity at the surface of these alloys was controlled by scale-alloy equilibration, and was therefore not affected by brief periods of oxidation. The pattern of carbide scale formation is qualitatively consistent with the thermodynamics of the Fe-Cr-C system.

    Notes: Abstract Gravimetric measurements at low temperatures (〈600°C) and for dilute Ag-Mg alloys have given further information about the mechanism of oxide formation. This investigation shows that the fixation rate of oxygen is very high, which assumes the existence of species in an oxidized form, including one or two magnesium atoms called “elementary species” and denoted as MgO* and Mg2O*. When there are no free magnesium atoms, there is a coalescence process with the fixation of oxygen atoms or MgO* and Mg2O*: this process leads to the formation of the first “clusters” including an oxygen excess. At low temperatures, the thermal fluctuations do not permit significant changes. There is no significant increase in cluster size, but a rearrangement of these clusters toward a compact structure with the release of excess oxygen. Their size is less than 1 nm.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation kinetics of zirconium-hydride powders were studied in the temperature range of 298–1378 in air at atmospheric pressure. TG, DTA, DSC, x-ray analysis, and scanning electron microscopy were used. The results obtained are in accordance with the proposed pseudo-parabolic model of zirconium-hydride oxidation. This model includes the initial linear mode of oxide growth with oxygen diffusion through a non-solid film of ZrO2 of variable depth and a stationary diffusion process followed by oxide sintering. It has been established that the activation energy of the limiting stage of oxidation (238.3 kJ/mol) coincides with the activation energy of oxygen self-diffusion in monocline ZrO2.

    Notes: Abstract The conditions necessary to determine the oxidation kinetics of metals and alloys are discussed quantitatively, and a new method of calculating the rational rate constants was suggested. It was shown that the size and the shape of a metal sample has an effect on the kinetics of oxidation. Further, it was established that the values of the parabolic rate constants of corrosion, calculated from the empirical Pilling and Bedworth equation, contain a serious systematic error, if changes in the metallic core surface area during the oxidation process are neglected.

    Notes: Abstract A Zr-0.5 Y alloy was found to oxidize about 6 times faster than pure zirconium over the temperature range of 400 to 565°C. The activation energies were nearly identical (∼32 kcal/mole). The activation energies correspond to grain boundary diffusion of oxygen through the scale. The higher oxidation rate of the alloy was attributed to a higher anion vacancy concentration and the assumption that diffusion sites in the lattice and boundaries were in local equilibrium. Measurements on yttria-doped zirconia showed that ionic conductivity was increased markedly by yttrium and extended over a wide range of oxygen pressure. The defect structure of the doped oxide was changed to one of oxygen vacancies, even at the high end of the oxygen pressure range, 10−8 to 0.2 atm, over which pure ziconia contains oxygen interstitials. The doped oxide was found to be extrinsic over the entire range of oxygen pressure and, although ionic conductivity predominated, electronic conductivity was still appreciable. The electronic conductivity, however, was still sufficiently high so that electron transport was not rate-controlling in the predominantly ionic-conducting scale.

    Notes: Abstract The kinetics of shape evolution of a completely faceted crystal/internal void by surface diffusion was modeled. Arrays of micron-sized cavities were generated in sapphire substrates with known surface orientations using microlithography and ion beam etching and converted to internal intragranular pores of nonequilibrium shape by diffusion bonding of the etched substrate to an identical-orientation unetched sapphire substrate. Pore shape evolution rates during high-temperature anneals were monitored and found to be highly sensitive to the orientation of the substrate surface. The observed evolution rates were compared with the predictions of the kinetic model using diffusivity values for alumina that span the range from the highest to the lowest diffusion constants reported in the literature. The comparison suggests that surface-attachment-limited kinetics (SALK) play a major role in surface mass transport on stable low-index planes of alumina.

    Notes: Abstract It has been shown that structural evolution occurring in powder mixtures subjected to mechanical treatment by milling follow well-defined conversion trends as a function of milling time. Sigmoidal curves were observed in the case of the mechanical alloying of transition metal mixtures, whereas a simpler kinetic course with a progressively decreasing transformation rate was found to characterize the disordering process of intermetallic equilibrium compounds by mechanical milling. Under the stipulation that collisions are the dominant energy transfer events, a kinetic model is developed to relate the observed macrokinetic features to the discrete powder fractions, which transform at each impact. Because of its intrinsic qualities, the milling process was regarded as discrete processing. A statistical approach was followed to work out a set of differential equations, solutions of which provide a sound description of the transformation kinetics in terms of conventional rate expressions. The model allows one to reproduce the different kinetic behaviors by means of a single, unifying mathematical formalism. Furthermore, quantifying the structural evolution rate by suitable kinetic constants permits the exploration of the reactive behavior of a system treated under different milling regimes or to compare, on an absolute basis, different systems processed under similar conditions.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation kinetics and structure of the oxide scales formed on high-density SiC were studied in molecular oxygen at 740 Torr and in a glow-discharge oxygen plasma at 0.1 Torr at temperatures of 1000, 1100, and 1200°C. The monatomic oxygen formed by the glow discharge markedly increased the reaction rate and the vaporization of some of the oxidation products. The marked differences in kinetics suggest that the rate-controlling step during oxidation in molecular oxygen is the dissociation of adsorbed diatomic oxygen to the monatomic species. Films formed in molecular oxygen were mostly amorphous SiO2 with small inclusions of SiC and graphite, whereas films formed in dissociated oxygen were primarily amorphous SiO2 containing SiO, S2O3, and the coesite form of SiO2.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation of an Fe—19.34 wt. % Ni alloy in dry CO2 has been studied at 700—1000°C using thermogravimetry, metallography, and EPMA. Weight gains for oxygen consumption followed a linear-parabolic-linear sequence at all temperatures. During the initial linear stage the scale consisted mainly of magnetite and the activation energy of 133±25 kJ · mole−1 is considered to be due to dissociation of CO2 into CO and adsorbed oxygen on the outer magnetite surface. During the parabolic oxidation stage a continuous Ni-rich layer containing ∼ 70% Ni forms a barrier to the diffusion which has an activation energy of 192±79 kJ · mole−1. The breakdown of the barrier layer causes a return to linear kinetics with an activation energy of 138±42 kJ · mole−1 for dissociation of CO2 on the outer surface. During the final linear stage there is pronounced general and intergranular subscale formation. Detailed information is presented of the Ni redistribution and concentrations during oxidation and its correlation with the kinetics and morphology.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation behavior in air at 1000–1250°C of four Ni-Cr-W alloys containing sufficient chromium content (∼22 at. % Cr) for protective Cr2O3 formation in a binary Ni-Cr alloy is reported. Generally for alloys high in W (10 and 16 at.% W), the rejection of tungsten into the alloy beneath the scale introduced a steep Cr concentration gradient and slower Cr diffusion such that continuous precipitation of Cr2O3 internal oxides prevented the formation of a Cr2O3 protective scale. The alloy most dilute in W (1.6 at. % W) formed a protective scale at short times with little outer NiO scale, but scale fractures led to internal oxidation and rapid nonprotective kinetics. After an initially rapid oxidation increment to form NiO, the 3 at.% Walloy formed a protective Cr2O3 scale with about the same steady-state parabolic kinetics as a binary Ni-30Cr alloy. The effect of ternary Wadditions on the development of Cr2O3 scales on Ni-Cr-W alloys is considered as a ternary analog to Wagner's description of the oxidation of Cu-Pt or Cu-Pd alloys.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation behavior of titanium was studied over the temperature range of 600 to 800°C in a pure oxygen atmosphere. A parabolic kinetics period is made up of a succession of short parts whose weight gain is nearly constant and whose beginning is characterized by an alteration of the oxidation rate. The kinetics curve is closely correlated with the morphology of the oxide scale which contains several layers separated by short cracks. These cracks decrease the diffusional flows of oxygen and titanium and alter the oxidation rate. A parabolic-linear kinetics transition is attributed to the formation of a continuous crack between the oxide scale and the matrix. The oxide scale then forms a porous barrier of constant thickness which induces a linear rate law due to the steady-state oxygen diffusion. Titanium cannot diffuse across the continuous crack. During the linear kinetics period several layers of constant thickness, separated by a continuous crack, spread out.

    Notes: Abstract Parabolic rate constants of the reaction of chromium with nitrogen gas under oxygen-free conditions have been determined over a range of temperature (1000–1250°C) and nitrogen pressure (0.265–101.33 kPa). The growth rate of the subnitride was measured by a thermogravimetric technique using a single specimen. Wagner's oxidation theory is used to calculate the self-diffusivity and intrinsic diffusivity of nitrogen in the subnitride from a theoretical analysis of the parabolic rate constant. The calculated diffusivities varied with the composition of the subnitride, having minimum values at intermediate compositions of the nonstoichiometric chromium nitride “Cr2N.”

    Notes: Abstract The scaling of an Fe-20Cr alloy has been studied in H2-H2O-H2S mixtures between 973 and 1223 K. According to a simplified phase diagram, Cr2O3 and FeS should be the thermodynamically stable compounds in the gas mixtures chosen. The reaction followed a mixed rate law between linear and parabolic, indicating that the reaction rate at the scale-gas interface was comparable with the diffusion rate in the scale. At a constant H2/H2S ratio the scaling rate initially decreased slightly with increasing water-vapor pressure. A further increase of the water-vapor pressure resulted in localized sulfide formation, while the other parts of the surface were covered with a Cr2O3 film. Only Cr2O3 formed above a critical water-vapor content. Three zones could be distinguished when a sulfide scale is formed. The outer zone consisted of practically pure FeS; the intermediate zone was a solid solution of (Fe,Cr)S, partially decomposed to FeCr2S4 and metal during cooling; and the inner zone contained small Cr2O3 inclusions in an (Fe,Cr)S matrix.

    Notes: Abstract The internal oxidation mechanism in silver alloys was studied by residual resistivity, gravimetric, and calorimetric measurements, and by transmission electron microscopy. If the flux, of oxygen atoms is very large with respect to the oxide formation, the mechanism of internal oxidation includes two stages. The first one is the fixation of oxygen in the form of oxidized elementary species, including only one solute atom. These species are stable and keep a certain mobility. The second one is the coalescence process of these elementary species with the formation of the first clusters. When the flux of oxygen atoms is slowed down, the oxide formation mechanisms are more complicated. The initially formed species can include more than one solute atom because of their diffusion. The two stages are not separate.

    Notes: Abstract Two austeno-ferritic stainless steels were sulfidized at temperatures of 783, 873, and 963 K under sulfur pressures in the range 4×10−12 to 3×10−5 atm. In all cases a triplex scale developed, consisting of an outermost layer of (Fe, Cr)1−xS, an intermediate layer of FeCr2S4, and an innermost layer of porous (Cr, Fe)1−xS containing particles of Mo2S3. Parabolic kinetics were observed except at the lowest temperature where one of the steels reacted according to irregular kinetics. The Mo2S3 particles in the innermost layer acted as inert markers, imaging the former positions of the steels' ferrite phase in which Mo is enriched. The lamellar microstructure of the steel was thus reproduced in the innermost sulfide layer. The positions of the Mo2S3 particles together with the porosity of the inner layer are taken to imply inward sulfur transport through this layer and outward metal transport through all three layers.

    Notes: Abstract The sulfidation of Ni-10Cr-5Al, Ni-20Cr-5Al, and Ni-50Cr-5Al, and of the same alloys containing 1% Y, was studied in 0.1 atm sulfur vapor at 700°C. The sulfidation process followed linear kinetics for all the alloys except Ni-50Cr-5Al-1Y, and possibly Ni-50Cr-5Al, which followed the parabolic law. The reaction rates decreased with increasing chromium content in alloys without yttrium, and the addition of yttrium reduced the rates by at least a factor of two for the alloys containing 10 and 20% Cr and by an order of magnitude for Ni-50Cr-5Al. Alloys containing 10 and 20% Cr (with and without yttrium) formed duplex scales consisting of an outer layer of NiS1.03 and an inner lamellar layer of a very fine mixture of Cr2S3 and A12O3 in a matrix of NiS1.03. The two alloys containing 50% Cr formed only a compact layer of Cr2S3, which was brittle and spalled during cooling. The lamellae in the duplex scales were parallel to the specimen surface and bent around corners. The lamellae were thicker than those on Ni-Al binary alloys. The lamellae were also thicker in scales on the 20% Cr alloy than on the 10% Cr alloy. The presence of yttrium refined the lamellae and increased the lamellae density near the scale/metal interface in the 10% alloy, but in the 20% Cr alloy the lammellae were thicker and more closely spaced. Platinum markers were found in the inner portion of the exterior NiS1.03 layer close to the lamellar zone. A counter-current diffusion mechanism is proposed involving outward cation diffusion and inward sulfur diffusion, although diffusion was not rate controlling for alloys containing 10 and 20% Cr. Auger analysis of scales formed on Ni-50Cr-1Y showed an even distribution of yttrium throughout the layer of Cr2S3, suggesting that some yttrium dissolved in the sulfide. The reduced sulfidation rate of samples containing yttrium is explained by the possible dissolution of yttrium as a donor. The presence of Y4+ would then decrease the concentration of interstitial chromium ions in the N-type layer of Cr2S3, which would decrease the reaction rate.

    Notes: Abstract The nature of the first-formed oxide on 20% Cr/25% Ni/Nb stabilized steel during exposure to CO2 at high and low temperatures has been determined by surface analytical techniques. These results together with a consideration of gas/solid interactions show that the oxide produced may be determined by kinetics or thermodynamic factors, and a diagram is presented to show that rhombohedral Cr2O3 or spinel may be the oxide first formed. Under most standard conditions, a mixed spinel oxide is formed initially, and the subsequent growth of a duplex oxide is analyzed in terms of a solid-state reaction in which the spinel oxide is reduced to Cr2O3 at the metal/oxide interface. Diffusion control of growth by either spinel or Cr2O3 is incorporated in new equations describing the kinetics of oxidation, and weight-gain predictions are tested against experimental observations.

    Notes: Abstract The accelerated oxidation of pure nickel in the presence of a molten carbonate mixture has been studied in O2 and CO2-containing atmospheres. The oxidation rate of nickel with carbonate coatings was at least four orders of magnitude faster than that without salt coatings. The extent of oxidation, in terms of unit area weight gain, depended on both the amount of carbonate mixture coatings and the gas atmosphere. The unit area weight gain due to oxidation increased with increasing amounts of salt coatings up to a certain value. These observations suggest that the termination of nickel oxidation results from the exhaustion of either the salt coatings or metallic nickel. Porous and particulate oxide products were observed from scanning electron microscopic (SEM) examinations. The energy-dispersive analysis of x-rays (EDAX) shows that no salt remains on the specimen surface after the oxidation experiment.

    Notes: Abstract The corrosion of chromium and manganese by pure SO2 has been investigated in the temperature range 890–1350 K at SO2 pressure from 0.01–0.5 atm. Both metals oxidize according to a parabolic rate law, and the scales consist of an inner region containing a mixture of oxide and sulfide (Cr2O3+ CrS or MnO and MnS) and an outer region of oxide (Cr2O3 or MnO). These two metals have similar thermodynamic behavior, and the main mechanism of reaction is considered to be the direct reaction of the metal with SO2. The results also indicate that in the absence of trace amounts of oxygen, and at sufficiently low temperature (〈950 K), the formation of Mn3O4 does not occur only if a complete description of the atmosphere generated by a SO2-O2-S2 mixture was considered.

    Notes: Abstract The nonisothermal oxidation behavior of pure iron and a few iron-chromium alloys in dry air has been studied. The effects of a superficial coating of a reactive oxide, CeO2, on the oxidation behavior were studied. Linear heating rates of 3 K/min and 6 K/min were maintained up to a final temperature ranging from 1273–1473 K. Coatings were applied either from a slurry or an aqueous bath. The CeO2 coating has been found to be effective not only in decreasing the nonisothermal oxidation rate but also in improving the scale adherence. Moreover, the coated samples withstood a number of heating cycles without scale rupture. The mass gain of the samples as a function of temperature was recorded by means of a sensitive balance, and the scales have been characterized by SEM, EPMA, and x-ray diffraction analysis.

    Notes: Abstract The internal-nitriding behavior in ammonia-hydrogen atmospheres of type-310 stainless steel and 310 to which either 2 wt.% Ti or 3 wt.% Al were added was studied over the range of 550–950°C. An Fe-24Cr binary alloy was included to assess the role of a BCC crystal structure vs the FCC crystal structure of 310 stainless steel. The BCC alloy exhibited the most rapid kinetics as expected. X-ray diffraction showed only the presence of CrN in all the alloys up to 735°C. At 850°C and above, both CrN and Cr2N were detected. The nonformation of TiN and AlN at lower temperatures is attributed to nucleation problems. Precipitates were extremely fine (unresolvable even at 20,000×) at 563°C and became much coarser with increasing temperature. The precipitate density, size, and shape varied across the internal-nitriding zone at the higher temperatures. External scaling was noted at 850°C and above, however, it was not a continuous film. The activation energy of internal nitriding from 563–735°C ranged from 3.8 kcal/mol for 310+2Ti to 18.2 kcal/mol for 310+3Al; from 850–950°C, the activation energy ranged from 44 (310+2Ti) to 56.6 kcal/mol (310+3Al). Microhardness profiles show that an intermediate zone exists between the nitride case and the base metal. The origin of this zone is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation behavior in air of pure vanadium, V-30Al, V-30Al-10Cr, and V-30Al-10Ti (weight percent) was investigated over the temperature range of 700–1000° C. The oxidation of pure vanadium was characterized by linear kinetics due to the formation of liquid V2O5 which dripped from the sample. The oxidation behavior of the alloys was characterized by linear and parabolic kinetics which combined to give an overall time dependence of 0.6–0.8. An empirical relationship of the form: ΔW/A=Bt + Ct1/2 + D was found to fit the data well, with the linear contribution suspected to be from V2O5 formation for V-30Al and V-30Al-10Cr, and a semi-liquid mixture of V2O5 and Al2O3 for V-30Al-10Ti. The parabolic term is presumed related to the formation of a solid mixture of V2O5 and Al2O3 for V-30Al and V-30Al-10Cr, and TiO2 for V-30Al-10Ti The addition of aluminum was found to reduce the oxidation rate of vanadium, but not to the extent predicted by the theory of competing oxide phases proposed by Wang, Gleeson, and Douglass. This was attributed to the formation of a liquid-oxide phase in the initial stages of exposure from which the alloys could not recover. Ternary additions of chromium and titanium were found to decrease the oxidation rate further, with chromium being the most effective. The oxide scales of the alloys were found to be highly porous at 900° C and 1000° C, due to the high vapor pressure of V2O5 above 800° C.

    Notes: Abstract To clarify the mechanism of plasma nitriding, we examined the optical microstructure, the hardness, the precipitation, and the concentration of dissolved nitrogen in Fe-18Cr-9Ni nitrided using plasma in the range of 723–823 K. Compared with ammonia-gas nitriding, the features of plasma nitriding are the formation of small chromium-nitride precipitates (CrN), the absence of an externally nitrided layer, the high concentration of dissolved nitrogen, and the high hardness (HV=1200). The diffusion coefficient of nitrogen in the present alloy was determined using the growth rate of the internally nitrided layer, based on calculations used in internal oxidation. Plasma- and gas-nitriding were also compared with respect to the growth rate of the nitrided layer.

Impurity elements were found to increase the oxidation rate of technical zirconium. The mechanism of the effect of impurity elements on zirconium oxidation was shown to differ for the α- and β-phases.

    Notes: Abstract The kinetics, structural aspects, and phase morphologies were studied for tantalum oxidation in air from 600 to 1000°C for samples of different purity (99.15%, 99.76%, and 99.95% Ta). Regardless of purity, tantalum oxidation in the temperature range of 600–800°C as a rule is governed by a linear rate law. From 900 to 1000°C the initial-stage oxidation is governed by the parabolic rate law, which changes to the linear rate law with time. TGA, XRD, SEM, and AES methods were used. The, effect of purity on tantalum oxidation was shown to be determined by the mechanism of intermediate-oxide formation. They are TaO z (Ta2O) at 600–800°C and TaO at 900–1000°C. The final product of oxidation was β-Ta2O5.

    Notes: Abstract The sulfidizing behavior of Fe−22Cr−4Al−0.15Zr (wt.%) was studied in two atmospheres: S2 vapor over the range 4.4–25.4 Pa and H2−H2S mixtures corresponding to aP S 2 range 0.2–1.297 Pa in the temperature range 973–1373 K. It was found that the constitution of the gaseous phase is of great importance on the corrosion kinetics and the morphology of the corrosion products. Furthermore, a stratification phenomenon during scale growth was observed during the initial sulfidation stage in H2−H2S mixtures containing a sufficiently high H2S partial pressure. This behavior was not observed during tests in puresulfur vapor.

    Notes: Abstract Recent studies of the structure and dynamics of solid-solid interfaces have provided some understanding about the role of the scale-metal interface in the growth of reaction product scales on pure metals. The action of interfacial defects (misfit dislocations, misorientation dislocations and disconnections) in the creation and annihilation of the point defects suporting the diffusional growth of scales is considered. Anion point defects (vacancies/interstitials) supporting scale growth by anion diffusion are annihilated/created by the climb of misorientation dislocations or disconnections in the scale at the interface. For scale growth by cation diffusion, cation point defects (vacancies/interstitials) can be annihilated/created by the climb of interfacial misfit or misorientation dislocations in the metal. Because of their necessarily high density, in most cases, the dominant climb of misfit dislocations would be favored. The blocking of interfacial reaction steps can be a means to retard the scaling kinetics and to alter the fundamental scaling mode. For instance, the interfacial segregation of large reactive element ions can pin the interface dislocations, an action which poisons the usual interfacial reaction step. Such considerations are consistent with the well-known phenomena ascribed to the reactive element effect (REE).

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation behavior of the Co-base superalloy DZ40M was studied in air at900–1100°C for times of up to 2000 hr. The results indicated thatthis alloy can grow a protective oxide scale at 900 and 1000°C duringisothermal oxidation, but not at 1100°C because of serious cracking andspalling of the oxide scales. Moreover, an internal-precipitate zone formedin the subsurface region of the alloy at all temperatures and times. Theprecipitates were rich in Cr in the vicinity of the alloy–scaleinterface and rich in Al deep in the alloy. The internal-precipitatemorphology changed from a granular to needlelike shape with increasingoxidation temperature.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation of ilmenite (FeTiO3) in air and dry oxygen was investigated over the temperature interval 600 to 970°C. Dense platelets of ilmenite crystals as well as powder samples of ilmenite were oxidized. The weight data were recorded employing a thermobalance. The oxidation kinetics of ilmenite platelets were parabolic except for the initial stages during which logarithmic kinetics were observed. For powder samples the logarithmic rate law was followed primarily. The logarithmic rate law was attributed to free penetration of oxygen through cracks and short-circuit paths. The activation energies associated with the logarithmic rate law were nearly one-half of those obtained from parabolic oxidation. The growth morphology of the products of oxidation of ilmenite was observed with a scanning electron microscope. The effect of growth morphology on the kinetics is discussed, and a probable reaction mechanism is suggested for the oxidation of ilmenite.

    Notes: Abstract A new fast method is proposed for the determination of parabolic rate constants of metal oxidation as a function of pressure and temperature. The method consists of determining rate constants by oxidation of a single metal sample in a continuous manner, periodically changing the oxidant pressure or temperature. This method eliminates a number of errors inherent in the classical method which involves the use of a new metal specimen in each experiment and it further shortens the time of evaluating the functions k p '' = f (p, T). The method is particularly suitable for the determination of rate constants of slow processes. To verify the proposed method measurements of the kinetics of oxidation of cobalt and nickel at different oxygen pressures over the temperature range 1000–1300° C were carried out.
