The effect of rare-earth (Sm) microalloying on the thermal stability and phase selection along with the effect of nanocrystallization on the mechanical properties of amorphous melt-spun ribbons of Zr50Cu40Al10, Zr49Cu39.2Al9.8Sm2 and Zr48Cu38.4Al9.6Sm4 alloys were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Vickers and nanoindentation hardness tests and micropillar compression analysis. XRD and TEM analyses showed that all samples were fully amorphous in as-spun state; however, crystallization sequences for the Sm-free and the Sm micro-alloyed samples were different during devitrification. Combined study of XRD, DSC and TEM on melt-spun ribbons show that Zr48Cu38.4Al9.6Sm4 have nanocrystallization of Cu2Sm phase with an average diameter of 10 nm, which was absent in Zr50Cu40Al10, prior to crystallization of Cu10Zr7 phase. The nanoindentation and micropillar compression tests revealed Cu2Sm nanocrystals embedded in Zr48Cu38.4Al9.6Sm4 alloy improves strength and hardness. On the other hand, presence of these nanocrystals deteriorate shear band stability and thus result in a catastrophic brittle fracture through a single shear band burst.

Effect of Microstructure on the Mechanical Behavior of Reactive Magnetron Sputtered Al2O3/TiO2 Multilayer Ceramics Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi (Japan Institute of Metals, 2008-11-01) Mechanical characteristics of reactive magnetron sputtered Al2O3-TiO2 multilayer ceramics were studied. Tailored mechanical properties such as moderately high hardness and reasonable toughness were achieved through varying sputtering process parameters resulting in microstructural control at nano-scale. Interchanging Al2O3 and TiO2 layers with a single layer thickness of similar to 65-70 nm were deposited on single crystal alumina (sapphire) substrates to form the multilayer structure composed of 10 layers....
The role of amorphous precursor in phase selection hierarchy in marginal metallic glasses YILDIRIM, CİHAN; KUTSAL, M.; OTT, R. T.; BESSER, M. F.; KRAMER, M. J.; Kalay, Yunus Eren (Elsevier BV, 2016-12-15) The solid state amorphous structure and devitrification products of Al90Tb10 alloys produced by Cu block meltspinning and magnetron sputtering were investigated by a combined study of differential scanning calorimetry, in-situ X-ray diffraction and conventional transmission electron microscopy. The as-prepared specimens were found to be fully amorphous according to the electron and X-ray diffraction. The thermal analysis and in-situ XRD analyses of the amorphous samples having the same chemistry but differe...
Effect of tube spinning and subsequent heat treatments on strength, microstructure and residual stress state of AISI/SAE type 4140 steel Gür, Cemil Hakan (Informa UK Limited, 2003-11-01) In the present study, the effects of deformation percentage (23, 30, 50 and 66%) and subsequent stress relief and tempering heat treatments on the mechanical properties, residual stress state and microstructure of AISI/SAE type 4140 steel tubes manufactured by forward spinning were evaluated. Mechanical properties were determined by means of hardness and tensile tests. The tangential component of the surface residual stresses was determined by a slitting method. Plastic deformation of the metal during spinn...
Crystallization of hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin film on glass by using ns-pulsed fiber laser operating at 1064 nm Salman, H. S.; BACIOĞLU, AKIN; Eken, S. K. (Elsevier BV, 2019-06-01) A nanosecond pulsed, Ytterbium doped optical fiber laser, operating at 1064 nm, has been used for laser induced crystallization (LIC) of a standard recipe-hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si: H) thin film, deposited in a radio-frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF-PECVD) reactor. Despite relatively lower photon energy of 1.165 eV, the crystallization of the a-Si: H sample with the Tauc gap of 1.70 eV was succeeded. The optical energy density impinging on the sample surface was adjusted by...
Effect of initial powder morphology on thermal and mechanical properties of stand-alone plasma-sprayed 7 wt.% Y2O3-ZrO2 coatings Ercan, Batur; Trice, Rodney W.; Wang, Hsin; Porter, Wally (Elsevier BV, 2006-11-05) The effects of starting powder morphology on the thermal and mechanical properties of stand-alone plasma-sprayed 7 wt.% Y2O3-ZrO2 (YSZ) coatings were studied. Two powder morphologies were investigated: an agglomerated and sintered powder (referred to presently as "AS") and a powder manufactured using plasma spheroidization to create hollow spheres (referred to presently as "HS"). Coatings made from AS powders contained 0.21 wt.% SiO2 impurity, twice as much as observed in coatings made from HS powders. Prop...
