It has a higher volume fraction of Cu6Sn5 in the bulk solder due to the higher Cu content in the alloy compared to most conventional solder alloys.
The effect of trace addition of many different elements to Sn-Ag-Cu and Sn-Cu alloys were reported [2,6,7], but there is currently no report on the effect of trace Mg addition to the Sn-Ag-Cu or Sn-Cu alloys in the literature.
This research aims to study the effect of trace Al and Mg addition on the microstructure of Cu6Sn5 intermetallic and Sn/Ag3Sn eutectic in Sn-3wt%Ag-5wt%Cu solder alloys.
The finer Cu6Sn5 microstructure will improve the mechanical properties of the solder alloys.

These layers were prepared on substrates made from Ti, Ti alloys (Ti39Nb and Ti6Al4V) and stainless steel AISI316.
Introduction Low-modulus β-TiNb alloys (the TiNb binary system with a BCC structure) with excellent corrosion resistance are currently under consideration as a surgical implant material [1,2].
The advantage of using of a binary alloy is that it is simpler to preserve the composition than in the case of ternary and quaternary alloys, which induce obviously non-homogeneous segregation of elements [4].

An unusual plate-type morphology of γ-Fe4N1-x was observed, contrasting with the usual continuous layer-type growth observed upon nitriding iron, Fe-Cr and Fe-V alloys.
Most of the previous studies on Fe-Al alloys were focused on thin specimens (approx. 100 µm thick), mainly to study the AlN precipitation kinetics [4, 5, 6].
Such morphology of (γ) iron nitride has not been observed for nitrided iron, Fe-Cr and Fe-V alloys [10].

Our company started an alloy development project with the aim of developing an alloy to miniature casting, which meets customer requirements the most.
The first group contains lead-free alloys or alloys with a low lead content (1-3 alloys).
The third group contained compounds with the lowest melting temperatures.

Oxidation Behavior of TiAl Based Alloys Prepared by Spark Plasma Sintering Hua Chen 1, a, Jingchao Zhang1,b and X.
The aim of this work is to investigate the influence of SPS microstructure of Ti-45Al-0.2Si-5Nb alloy on high temperature oxidation behavior.
However, for milled powder, since fine intermetallic compounds are formed in mechanical alloying, the bond and diffusion of particles mainly occurs between intermetallic compounds, thus granule microstructure is formed.

Introduction The novel ferromagnetic functionality of shape memory alloys has been of particular interest, especially for alloys belonging to the Heusler-type systems [1] along with the Fe-Pd [2] and Fe-Pt [3] systems.
Liu et al [10] studied intensively the microstructure evolution of CoNiGa shape memory alloys, showing that the composition affects morphology, with the volume fraction of γ phase decreasing gradually as Ga content increases, for high-temperature quenched or as-cast alloys.
In shape memory alloys, the severe plastic deformation has been experimented in several versions, among which the high Pressure Torsion (HPT) has been tested on NiTi alloys [12.13].

It is affirmed that mechanical milling weakens the thermostability of WC-8Co-2Al powders, and facilitates the formation of Co-Al intermetallic compounds.
The aim of adding aluminum to WC-Co hardmetals is to save cobalt resource, inhibit WC grain growth and improve service performance by in situ forming intermetallic compounds from Co and Al phases during sintering.
Some research proved that Al could utterly react with Co to form intermetallic compounds when the mass ratio of Co to Al was 4:1 [7, 8].
The WC grains of sintered alloys of unmilling are about 515 nm, and the grains for 55 h milling dramatically go down to around 126 nm.
The formation of Al-Co compounds can be accelerated, mainly owing to refinement of reactants and elemental diffusion in each other caused by milling.

Several materials are used that are exposed to various chemistries of compounds [9, 2].
These compounds are removed in the form of slag.
It transforms solid alumina spinel (if present) to liquid state, thereby removal of undesirable compounds is possible in the form of slag.
· The flux reacts with the volatile gases and forms compounds by combining with the pre-existing Ca within the alloy, thereby removing the unwanted calcium from the cast alloy in the form of slag

The aim is to determine jump-frequencies and their systematics.
Heusler NiMnGa alloys are often categorized as ferromagnetic shape memory alloys or magnetocaloric materials.
The results demonstrate the capability of using diffusion couples to speed up the discovery of new NiMnGa alloys or other alloys showing martensitic transformation.
He studied diffusion in metals, in intermetallic compounds, in semiconductors, in solar grade silicon, diffusion and electrolytic conduction in polymer electrolytes, and diffusion in minerals.
He got his Habilitation at the University of Kiel in 2001 and in Münster in 2005 with his research on 'Diffusion Behaviour and Electrical Properties of Point Defects in Semiconducting Elements, Alloys, and Compounds'.
