The stacking fault energy in an alpha-phase solid solution with face-centered cubic structure usually decreases continuously with the increasing concentration of solute atoms. The solute atoms in that alloy tend to segregate to the stacking faults due to chemical interaction. A simple calculation indicates that the solute atoms segregate to such a high concentration as the stacking fault energy becomes a negative value with considerable magnitude, provided that the concentration of solute atoms is in thermal equilibrium at rather low temperature. The width of an extended dislocation should increase indefinitely if the stacking fault energy becomes lower than a negative value. Alpha-brass with 30% zinc, which was annealed at 120°C and 150°C for a week and two days, respectively, after cold-work reveals extended dislocations with extremely wide stacking faults of the order of several microns. Meanwhile, the width of a dislocation in alpha-brass is usually less than 100Å without low temperature annealing.
The diffusivities D of copper and silver in high-purity lead have been measured by a radioactive tracer technique. They are described by DCu/Pb = 7.9×10−3e−(8020/RT) cm2 sec−1, DAg/Pb = 4.6×10−2e−(14 … The diffusivities D of copper and silver in high-purity lead have been measured by a radioactive tracer technique. They are described by DCu/Pb = 7.9×10−3e−(8020/RT) cm2 sec−1, DAg/Pb = 4.6×10−2e−(14 440/RT) cm2 sec−1. These results, in combination with those of Seith and Keil and Ascoli et al., show that the rates of diffusion of the noble metals in lead are several orders of magnitude greater than the self-diffusion rate of lead DPb. We have found that DPb is not measurably affected by the dissolution of either gold, in agreement with Seith and Keil, or of copper. The results indicate that neither the vacancy, interstitialcy, nor exchange mechanisms are predominant in the diffusion of these solutes. It is concluded that the noble metals are dissolved in lead at least partially in the interstitial state and that they diffuse almost wholly by an interstitial mechanism.
Abstract In an elastically anisotropic crystal, the energy of a dislocation depends on the crystallographic direction of the dislocation line. A straight dislocation which is in a high energy direction … Abstract In an elastically anisotropic crystal, the energy of a dislocation depends on the crystallographic direction of the dislocation line. A straight dislocation which is in a high energy direction may be unstable with its energy decreasing if it changes to a zig‐zag shape. The relation between two different criteria of instability is clarified. The theory is used to examine seven possible slip systems in three metals. Instabilities are predicted for six systems in β‐brass, two in iron, and none in niobium. Tables are given of the predicted instabilities for the 〈110〉 {111} f.c.c. system and the 〈111〉 {110} b.c.c. system for a range of elastic constants. A preliminary report is given of the observation of this phenomenon in β‐brass.

Precision measurements were made of the position and width of the (222) CuZn and (400) Cu3Au reflections. The disordered phase has a larger cell dimension, so that reflections from the ordered and disordered phases are slightly displaced from one another. For both materials, a single peak was observed which was too narrow to correspond to the existence of two phases. At the stoichiometric compositions, it is concluded that below Tc there is only an ordered phase whose long-range order varies with temperature. Measurements of the long-range order in Cu3Au have been made on briquets of filings, using quenched samples, and on a sample held at temperature.

Casting porosity, as well as … Cast nickel aluminum bronze (NAB) alloy is widely used for large engineering components in marine applications due to its excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Casting porosity, as well as coarse microstructure, however, are accompanied by a decrease in mechanical properties of cast NAB components. Although heat treatment, friction stir processing, and fusion welding were implemented to eliminate porosity, improve mechanical properties, and refine the microstructure of as-cast metal, their applications are limited to either surface modification or component repair. Instead of traditional casting techniques, this study focuses on developing NAB components using recently expanded wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM). Consumable welding wire is melted and deposited layer-by-layer on substrates producing near-net shaped NAB components. Additively-manufactured NAB components without post-processing are fully dense, and exhibit fine microstructure, as well as comparable mechanical properties, to as-cast NAB alloy. The effects of heat input from the welding process and post-weld-heat-treatment (PWHT) are shown to give uniform NAB alloys with superior mechanical properties revealing potential marine applications of the WAAM technique in NAB production.

On the other hand, FCV (Fuel Cell Vehicle)using hydrogen will be on the market in 2015. Introducing large mass hydrogen energy is being expected as expanding hydrogen applications, or solution to energy issues of Japan.And then,the Japanese government announced the road map for introducing hydrogen energy supply chain in this June,2014. Under these circumstances, imported CO2 free hydrogen will be one of the solutions for energy security and CO2 reduction, if the hydrogen price is affordable. To achieve this, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (KHI) performed a feasibility studyon CO2-free hydrogen energy supply chainfrom Australian brown coal linked with CCS (Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage) to Japan. In the study, hydrogen production systems utilizing brown coal gasificationandLH2 (liquid hydrogen)systems as storing and transporting hydrogen are examined.This paper shows the possibilityof realizingthe CO2 free hydrogen supply chain, the cost breakdown of imported hydrogen cost, its cost competitiveness with conventionalfossil, andLH2systems as key technologies of the hydrogen energy chain.

This study examined how post-casting heat treatment (solution treatment and tempering) and forging affected the corrosion and microstructural properties of the nickel aluminium bronze (CuAl10Ni5Fe4) with 0.20 % and 0.40% … This study examined how post-casting heat treatment (solution treatment and tempering) and forging affected the corrosion and microstructural properties of the nickel aluminium bronze (CuAl10Ni5Fe4) with 0.20 % and 0.40% titanium addition. Heat-treated CuAl10Ni5Fe4 alloy microstructures showed copper-rich α-solid solution, martensitic β-phase, and intermetallic κ-phases, such as flake-shaped κI, fine κIII, and black globular κIV. Adding 0.20 % and 0.40 % titanium to CuAl10Ni5Fe4 alloys reduced dendritic arm thickness and increased κ phase abundance. Additionally, significant κIV and κII precipitations were observed in the tempered β phase. Tempering β may cause martensitic β to split into tiny α and κIII phases. The grain refinement of the CuAl10Ni5Fe4, CuAl10Ni5Fe4-0.20 % Ti, and CuAl10Ni5Fe4-0.40 % Ti alloys was significantly noticeable after forging. The alloys retained the same α, β, and κ phases seen in the heat-treated alloys after forging. Titanium's refining effect increased the hardness of the alloy into which it was incorporated. Increased stiff phases, such as tempered β and fine κIV, contribute to increased hardness. The forging process enhanced the hardness of all three alloys. Forged and heat treated CuAl10Ni5Fe4-0.40 % Ti alloy had the highest hardness with 243.50 HB and 256.18 HB, respectively. The microstructural phases α, β, and κ significantly impact the corrosion behaviour of CuAl10Ni5Fe4 alloy. The CuAl10Ni5Fe4-0.40 % Ti alloy after forging had the lowest 24-hour weight loss of 0.003326 mg/dm2. The CuAl10Ni5Fe4 alloy loses the most weight (0.013659 mg/dm²) following heat treatment (S.T.+T) after 24 hours. The minimal corrosion rate for the CuAl10Ni5Fe4-0.40 % Ti alloy after forging was 0.003916 mg/(dm2·day) after 72 hours. Due to stratification, corrosion creates craters. Pitted or porous structures and craters are common. All alloys show a decrease in these structures after forging. The formation of the CuCl2 phase is believed to occur in regions experiencing pitting corrosion.

To explore the differences in the implantation safety and stability of a S 1 alar-iliac screw (S1AIS) or S2AIS for sacroiliac joint fixation, providing reference for selecting appropriate internal fixation … To explore the differences in the implantation safety and stability of a S 1 alar-iliac screw (S1AIS) or S2AIS for sacroiliac joint fixation, providing reference for selecting appropriate internal fixation in clinical practice. Patients who underwent pelvic CT examination between January 2024 and December 2024 were selected. CT data from 80 patients with normal pelvic structure who met the selection criteria were included in a 1∶1 male to female ratio. CT digital reconstruction technology was used to measure the transverse and longitudinal diameters of the S1AIS and S2AIS insertable ranges, as well as the length, width, and sacral side length of the screw trajectory. The pelvic CT data from 30 patients were randomly selected based on a 1∶1 male to female ratio for three-dimensional (3D) printing of pelvic samples. The S1AIS/S2AIS with a diameter of 6.5 mm and 8.0 mm were implanted at the optimal entry/exit points on the left and right sides, respectively, to observe the perforation of the screw trajectory. The pelvic CT data from 1 patient was randomly selected for 3D printing of 10 pelvic samples to simulate Tile C2 fracture. They were divided into S1AIS group ( n=5) and S2AIS group ( n=5), with one S1AIS and one S2AIS fixation used for posterior sacroiliac joint separation, and the specimen stiffness and maximum load were measured by using an electric tension torsion dual axis universal mechanical tester. The anatomical parameter measurement showed that there was no significant difference in the length and width of the screw trajectory between S1AIS and S2AIS ( P>0.05), but the transverse and longitudinal diameters of the insertable ranges, as well as the sacral side length of the screw trajectory, were all greater than those of S2AIS, with significant differences ( P<0.05). After simulating the implantation of S1AIS and S2AIS with a diameter of 6.5 mm in pelvic specimens, no screw penetration was observed. Both S1AIS and S2AIS with a diameter of 8.0 mm showed screw penetration, with S2AIS having a higher incidence of posterior lateral sacral cortical penetration (46.7%) than S1AIS (3.3%) ( P<0.05). The biomechanical test showed that the stiffness and maximum load of S2AIS were significantly lower than those of S1AIS ( P<0.05). As a method to fix the sacroiliac joint, the S1AIS has a larger insertable range, a longer sacral side length of the screw trajectory, a lower incidence of posterior lateral cortical rupture of the sacrum, and a greater fixation strength than S2AIS. Therefore, the implantation safety and fixation stability of the S1AIS are superior to S2AIS, and a diameter less than 8.0 mm screws should be selected as S2AIS for Chinese people.

The emergence of NFTs is a natural consequence of the rapid development of digital technologies, which cannot be stopped. The possibility of their commercial circulation, facilitated by the conclusion of smart contracts, and their high value cause significant interest in the creation of these tokens, which, however, may be based on dishonest intentions of NFT developers who, accelerating the creation process, use the works of other authors. The main characteristics of this type of tokens, the particularities of their creation and sale are determined in the article. It is emphasized that the defining feature of NFT is their uniqueness, which is achieved by including information about the author in the blockchain. It is emphasized that the transfer of rights to NFTs mainly occurs under smart contracts, which, however, are not able to regulate in detail all the conditions of the transfer of rights to tokens and their further use. It is emphasized that the rights to NFTs are not equal to the rights to the original work that was tokenized by the creator of the NFT. The simple possession of an NFT gives only the right to claim ownership of the token itself, as for the copyright to the original object, it usually remains with its author, unless its transfer is provided for by an additional agreement. In this regard, for more effective protection of copyright, it is recommended to conclude additional agreements, which would clarify the conditions of copyright transfer and NFT further use. As a result, the process of concluding transactions with non-fungible tokens requires the introduction of a mechanism, possibly based on human intervention, that would allow identifying the originality of the corresponding digital works. As for the bona fide authors of NFTs, they are also recommended to verify the copyright to the objects they use in the token issuance process.

The microstructure and surface properties of the alloy surface before and after … The gradient nanostructured surface layer of Cu-8 wt.% Al alloy was obtained by surface ultrasonic rolling treatment (USRT). The microstructure and surface properties of the alloy surface before and after treatment were systematically investigated. The results revealed that USRT could refine grain effectively. The surface microhardness reached a maximum of 213.8 HV 0.2 with an increase of 102.5% and progressively decreased from the surface into the matrix. The friction coefficient and the wear scar width were notably reduced, while the wear resistance was significantly enhanced. The corrosion resistance was greatly improved and the sample with a rolling reduction of 0.15 mm was the best.

In this work, the 1,2,4-triazole and its derivatives were used as target corrosion inhibitors, the corrosion inhibition of 1,2,4-triazole (TAZ), 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (ATA) and 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole (DAT) in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solutions … In this work, the 1,2,4-triazole and its derivatives were used as target corrosion inhibitors, the corrosion inhibition of 1,2,4-triazole (TAZ), 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (ATA) and 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole (DAT) in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solutions for aluminum brass (HAl77-2) are reported. The inhibition properties and mechanism were investigated by weight loss tests, electrochemical tests (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and linear polarization resistance tests), surface characteristic analysis (scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) tests), and quantum chemistry calculations. The results showed that TAZ, ATA, and DAT effectively inhibited the corrosion of HAl77-2. The maximum inhibition efficiencies of the three corrosion inhibitors were 84.4 %, 86.4 %, and 87.1 %, respectively. The adsorption processes followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model and were of mixed type, i.e., both physisorption and chemisorption. SEM and EDS tests confirmed the effective adsorption of the TAZ, ATA, and DAT on the HAl77-2 surface. The results of quantum chemistry calculations were consistent with the electrochemical test results.

He trapping is a major concern for the stability and performance of structural materials used in nuclear fusion reactors, as it can lead to the formation of He bubbles. Doping with specific elements with and without vacancy defect has emerged as a potential strategy to mitigate He-induced damage, and first-principles calculations serve as an essential tool for understanding these phenomena at the atomic scale. We doped Titanium (Ti) in CuZr B2 phase alloy and analyzed behaviour of He at single Ti doping. Our results reveal that presence of Ti inhibits formation of He bubbles more than that of pure CuZr bulk. This research highlights the effectiveness of the strategy in reducing He bubble nucleation and growth and aims to provide researchers with a clear understanding of doping, vacancy defects, and He trapping in structural materials, thus contributing to the development of more resilient materials for nuclear applications.

Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the accumualtion and leaching of heavy metals in the bottom ash samples collected from municipal solid waste incinerators in Vinh Phuc and Hung Yen under different pH conditions. In addition, some of the physicochemical properties (pH, EC, moisture, volatile solid…) of bottom ash were also determined. The results indicated that Cu and Zn are the most common elements existed in the bottom ash samples. The total contents of Sb in both bottom ash samples were higher than the allowable limit for hazardous waste (QCVN 07:2009/BTNMT). However, the low mobility of the heavy metals was observed.

The gold smelting process requires a significant amount of energy, making the selection of the appropriate furnace type and accurate temperature control crucial for optimizing energy efficiency and smelting results. This study involves the design of an induction heating-based smelting furnace, chosen for its efficiency in rapid and uniform heating. The melting process was carried out by heating the gold ore until it reached the melting point of gold at approximately 1064°C, while measuring the energy required during the process. The results of the study indicate that the total energy required to melt 1 kg of gold is approximately 197,531 joules.
