The peak at 1333 cm-1 relates to diamond, the peaks at 1355 and 1540 cm-1 correspond to the D and G bands [8] and the peaks at 1134 and 1478 cm-1 are ascribed to the presence of trans-polyacetylene (t-PA) at grain boundaries [9].
Figure 2 shows the SEM image of the pristine MCD film surface and coefficient of friction (COF) versus number of sliding cycles.
The MCD film consists of diamond grains up to 2 µm in size.

In particular, HU is negative in the pH range 4-5 and positive at pH higher than 6 which is consistent with a dominant fraction of grains having (a) the c-axis perpendicular (HU <0) and, (b) the c-axis parallel (HU >0) to the wires axis.
As can be observed, by changing the current density from 50 down to 5 mA.cm-2, the resonance field can change as much as 8 kOe, which is consistent with a dominant fraction of Co hcp grains having their c-axis perpendicular (high current) and parallel (low current) to the wire axis.
Although only short sections (~100nm) of these wires are shown in the images, no grain boundaries were observed along longer sections of the ten wires that have been examined in detail.
Another possible reason for the reduction of HU are stacking faults, which might increase in number in the high pH samples.

The increasing grain size with depth leads to progressively more irregular and less-well-defined positions of the diffraction lines.
This problem was partly solved by using an in-plane sample oscillation (+/- 5mm along the axis) during the measurement, in order to increase the sampling of the reflecting grains, thus allowing a more accurate determination of the peak position.
The total number of parameters {aj} to be optimized in the data modelling is nine: six polynomial coefficients and three coefficients related to the Bezier curve.
At increasing depths (b), data dispersion increases, especially when exiting the layer plastically deformed by the shot-peening (c), and grain size becomes too large to provide the correct statistics to the XRD measurement.

Table. 2 Tensile strength of specimens under different conditions Samples number Tensile strength [MPa] Yield strength [MPa] Elongation [%] Casting alloy 350 205 13 No. 1 563 450 18 No. 2 635 505 19.5 No. 3 460 375 12.5 XRD analysis.
After the cold rolling processing, we also observe that there are many nanoparticles with diameters in the range from 2 to 20nm in the matrix, the dispersal nanoparticles can pin the sub-grain and dislocation, the yield behavior of the alloy is determined by the configuration of dislocation in the copper matrix and its interaction with the dispersal nanoparticles.
In the melt solidification process, a possible reason is that iron nanoparticles may act as nucleating centers during the solidification of the copper matrix, then lowers down the critical nucleation energy, raises the diffusion activation energy and nucleation rate, resulting in a decreased dimension of the grains of the copper matrix.
It is noted that the energy system of Cu-Sn-Zn-Fe-Co alloy with plastic deformation is in the high-energy state, when taken ageing at 673Κ for 4h, the tin element diffuses into the copper matrix through the high diffusion rate passageway (such as the high density dislocation, grain boundaries, phase interface).Hence the segregation of tin element in the copper matrix and the existence of hard and brittle phase eliminate, the disappearance of these benefits to improve the strength of the alloy.

The interpretation of the Me-atom self-diffusion is difficult because of the unknown grain boundary contribution to the total diffusivity and rather high temperatures.
We define the formation energies of single point defects as: (3) (4) where is the formation energy for the carbides (-1.79 eV/f.u. for TiC and –1.77 eV/f.u. for ZrC), N is the number of MeC formula units per supercell, and REF denotes the reference state of pure Me (hcp) or C (diamond structure).
This contradiction may indicate that in one of the experiments reported in [4] the contribution from grain-boundary diffusion was higher than in the other.
Grain-boundary contribution usually results in a higher value and a lower activation energy value.

Procedure for microsections preparation consisted of grinding on the SiC abrasive papers with grades 120÷2400 and polishing on the diamond suspensions with mean grain size 6 μm, 3 μm and 1 μm.
Final polishing step was done using Struers Op-U colloidal silica suspension with mean grain size 0.05 μm.
After Na addition, the number of shrinkage pores increased (mean shape factor of the pore flat section = 0.752).

The grains can be found in a variety of patterns with approximately the same proportions.
The films transmission and absorption are affected by the number and speed of dipping and annealing temperatures.

The result is a growing number of components produced from different titanium and aluminum alloys for aerospace applications in particular, in addition to a greater interest to utilize the technique in automotive and medical applications.
� Simple constitutive equation (Eqn. 3), which does not account for many features associated with superplastic deformation, like strain hardening, anisotropy, grain growth and cavitation [4, 9-11, 13]
Microstructure is accounted for by the grain size (d) and cavitation by correcting the stress value to account for the area fraction of voids.
The model accounts for microstructural evolution (grain growth and cavitation), strain hardening and variable strain rate sensitivity index m.

The resultant overpressurization can create large-scale travelling pressure waves that cause propellant grain fracture and projectile impact loads because of motion and redistribution of propellant bed, even catastrophic failures under high loading density propellant charge conditions [9].
A number of previous studies had conducted to investigate the ignition and flame spreading process associated with anomalous behaviour [9-11].
The igniter chamber where a small quantity of ball powder was burned was sealed by a diaphragm and a multiple nozzle plate from the flow chamber which contains the sample granular propellant grains.

In addition, it is very well suited for the SLM process that the maraging steel achieves its mechanical properties by a martensitic matrix that contains a high number density of nanometer-sized intermetallic precipitates, so it need to be quenched rapidly from the austenitic region to temperatures below the martensite start temperature.
An epitaxial growth of extremely fine cellular grains or dendrites across the hatchoverlap regions is observed.
These austenite grains are observed to nucleate on laths and parent austenite grain boundaries.
