The Zn-Mg system has potential glass-forming ability, and therefore studies were made of rapidly solidified zinc-based Zn-Mg alloys containing up to 6 wt % Mg. These alloys exhibited interesting eutectic phase selections and structural transitions across the ribbon thickness which are represented on a microstructure selection diagram for rapid solidification conditions. Although rapid solidification is known in many cases to produce metastable phases, in this case the equilibrium eutectic mixtures of Zn-Mg2Zn11 are observed after rapid solidification, whereas the metastable eutectic mixture Zn-MgZn2 forms under normal solidification conditions. However, in the melt-spun Zn-Mg alloy which is exactly at eutectic composition, th ree different structures are observed across the ribbon thickness. These three structures do not exist simultaneously in the same region, but structural transitions occur as the thickness increases from the wheel side to the free side. Eutectic and hypereutectic alloys show a tendency to form a metallic glass. In these alloys a critical growth velocity exists beyond which eutectic solidification is not possible, suggesting a possible transition from eutectic solidification to amorphous phase formation. The eutectic phase selection and the extent to which a specific microstructure is present depends on the variation in growth rate and solid-liquid interface stability during rapid solidification.

Microstructure characteristics in Al-C system after mechanical alloying and high temperature treatment BOSTAN, B; Özdemir, Ataman; Kalkanlı, Ali (2004-03-01) In this work elemental powders of Al and 2 wt-% graphite were mechanically alloyed in a high energy horizontal attritor under purified argon atmosphere for 0.5-2 h. Powder mixes were then cold pressed at 1200 MPa and sintered at 550degreesC for between 2-32 It under the same protective atmosphere. Structural evolution was characterised by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy techniques. Results revealed that mechanical alloying was very effective in pulverisin...
Neutron plus Gamma response of undoped and Dy doped MgB4O7 thermoluminescence dosimeter Iflazoglu, S.; Yılmaz, Ayşen; Kafadar, Vural Emir; TOPAKSU, MUSTAFA; Yazici, A. N. (2019-05-01) Thermoluminescence properties of undoped and Dy doped MgB4O7 compounds were studied with the irradiation of Cf-252 source. The TL kinetic parameters of MgB4O7: Dy were studied by computer glow curve deconvolution (CGCD) method. The glow curve structures of 1% Dy doped magnesium tetraborate compound consists of at least five glow peaks with a main dosimetric peak at about 220 degrees C. The highest sensitivity which is approximately 1.90 and 1.47 times higher than that of TLD-600 and TLD-700 was found for Mg...
Interference effects of hydride forming elements on bismuth determination using tungsten coil system as electrothermal vaporizer and electrothermal atomizer in atomic spectrometry / Mercan, Pınar; Ataman, Osman Yavuz; Department of Chemistry (2017) Tungsten coil (W-coil) has become an alternative tool for graphite tubes in atomic spectrometry for its high melting point, good electrical conductivity and low cost. Tungsten coil systems have been used in atomic spectrometry as both atomizers and vaporizers. Both approaches include advantages and disadvantages. In this work the behaviors of both approaches were investigated. Bismuth (Bi), one of the hydride forming elements, was selected as the analyte. The properties and performances of both techniques, ...
Microstructural changes and void swelling of a 12Cr ODS ferritic-martensitic alloy after high-dpa self-ion irradiation Chen, Tianyi; Aydoğan Güngör, Eda; Gigax, Jonathan G.; Chen, Di; Wang, Jing; Wang, Xuemei; Ukai, S.; Garner, F. A.; Shao, Lin (2015-12-01) A dual-phase 12Cr oxide-dispersion-strengthened (ODS) alloy, with improved corrosion and oxidation resistance exhibits promising void swelling resistance and microstructural stability under Fe2+ ion irradiation to 800 dpa at 475 degrees C. Dispersoids were originally present in both ferrite and tempered martensite grains, with the latter having a wider range of dispersoid sizes. In both phases dispersoids > 10 nm in diameter are incoherent with the matrix, while smaller dispersoids are coherent. During irra...
Microstructural evolution and room-temperature mechanical properties of as-cast and heat-treated Fe50Al50-nNbn alloys (n=1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 at%) Yıldırım, Mehmet; Akdeniz, Mahmut Vedat; Mehrabov, Amdulla (2016-05-10) The microstructural evolution and room-temperature mechanical properties of Fe50Al50-nNbn alloys (n=1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 at%) were investigated after solidification and subsequent heat treatment. For all the compositions, the (Fe, Al)(2)Nb Laves phase formed because of the incomplete solid solubility of Nb in the Fe-Al-based phases and tended to develop an eutectic mixture with the Fe-Al-based phase. According to the results of EDS analysis and microstructural investigations, the Nb concentration of the eutect...
