Papers by Keyword: Diffusion-Controlled Processes

Abstract: An annotated analytical essay of possible nanofabrication and nanotechnology applications is presented with respect to: (1) some techniques and original results [1-4] concerning the regularities and micromechanisms (physics) of the hydrogen fluoride gas activator influence on the diffusion-controlled oxidation processes of titanium, zirconium and zirconium-based alloys with niobium, and also – on nitriding, boriding and carbiding a series of refractory metals (Ti, Zr, Nb, Mo, W, Ta); (2) some techniques, original results and physics of the diffusion-controlled formation processes of the compound-like nanosegregation [5-13] and the results [13-23] on the liquid-like phase at grain boundary regions in metals and alloys. In the scope of this review, a constructive analysis, the Arrhenius-type treatment, and the original data interpretation [16-21] has been carried out for the first time; (3) some techniques, original analytical results, and physics [24, 25] of the diffusion-controlled processes of the hydrogen multilayer intercalation (physisorption of a condensation or clustering type) with carbonaceous nanostructures. The main objective of the given analytical essay is to attract the researchers’ attention to the expediency of such a non-conventional data analysis and interpretation.

Abstract: In this research, the process of artificial aging of beryllium bronze as diffusioncontrollable process was studied at the temperatures of 250–500 0C, at aging time intervals of 0.17 till 2 hours, in the constant magnetic field and without it by microhardness and residual magnetization methods.

Abstract: The experimental and theoretical investigations of grain boundary diffusion processes have been performed using metals and alloys in nanostructured state produced by severe plastic deformation and the respective polycrystalline counterparts. The main features of diffusioncontrolled mechanisms of plastic deformation observed by the creep of nanostructured metals are considered. The use of severe plastic deformation treatment and of the effect of activation of diffusion-controlled processes for enhancing the properties of nanostructured steels and alloys designed for engineering and medical applications (nanostructured titanium-bioactive coating composite included) is described and examples are offered.
