Abstract: The structural-phase state of weld joints of the samples of Grade 2 alloys with micro- and submicrocrystalline structure is studied using methods of X-ray diffraction analysis. The weld joint was obtained by joining plates with a thickness of 2 mm using the electron-beam welding method. It is established that the transfer of the titanium alloy Grade 2 from the microcrystalline state into the submicrocrystalline state during the process of gradual grinding of grains in the samples by the abc-pressing method at a parallel stepwise decrease of the temperature in the range of 750-500 °C leads to an intensive introduction of oxygen atoms into the crystalline lattice of the solid solution a-Ti. The presence of an increased content of oxygen atoms in the crystalline lattice of the solid solution a-Ti in the submicrocrystalline state in the Grade 2 alloy in the weld zone and in the heat-affected zone promotes the formation of metastable phases w-Ti and α''-Ti. The obtained results made it possible to assume that in the process of electron-beam welding in the Grade 2 alloy in the submicrocrystalline state, an increased concentration of interstitial oxygen atoms in the crystalline lattice of the solid solution based on a–Ti plays a significant role in the formation of a wide range of structural-phase states in the weld zone and in the heat-affected zone.

Abstract: The issues of structural changes produced in ceramic materials on the basis of Al₂O₃ and ZrO₂(Y₂O₃) during thermomagnetic processing (B=0.02–1 T) are considered. The contribution of the electromagnetic field to the linear shrinkage of processed ceramic samples has been estimated to be 1–6%. The possibility of using the thermomagnetic processing method for obtaining the disperse and homogeneous structure has been shown. The technological modes of processing under the electromagnetic field are suggested, facilitating self-cleaning and perfecting the crystalline structures of Al₂O₃ and ZrO₂(Y₂O₃), including annealing in the temperature range of 800–1200 °C within 8–12 hours.

Abstract: The effect of micro-and nanocrystalline structural state on magnetic properties and magnetic entropy (ΔS_M) of Gd is investigated. The marked influence of severe plastic deformation on ΔS_M is demonstrated.

Abstract: The methods of electron microscopy, resistometry and magnetometry are used to study ten (36-38)Co - (32-36)Ni - (27-30)Al (at. %) alloys. Cast coarse-crystalline and microcrystalline alloys made by melt spinning in a helium atmosphere are considered. It is shown that the martensite start temperature Ms becomes 30-50°C lower as grains are refined to 1 m m. Replacement of 1 at. % cobalt by nickel and 1 at. % aluminum by nickel makes the temperature interval of the В2«L10 martensite transformation (30-60)°C and (100-110)°C higher respectively. The martensite transformation hysteresis is about 100 degrees. The melt-spun Co38Ni34Al28 alloy with the transformation temperatures Мs = 31°С, Мf = –34°С, Аs = –6°С, Аf = 70°С and Тс = 98°С is a material possessing the magnetically controlled shape memory effect.
