On the Optimization of the Microstructural and Mechanical Properties of Model Ni-Based Superalloys Through the Alloying Effects of Refractory Mo and W Elements

2022-05-01
In the design and development of next-generation Ni-based superalloys, the addition of refractory impurity elements not only induces better degree of bonding strengthening, but also helps in maintaining structural stability of the constituent gamma and gamma ' phases. Therefore, in this study, the potential contributions of X = Mo or W atoms to the electronic properties of coherent gamma/gamma ' interfaces as well as their effects on size, volume fraction, and shape features of gamma ' intermetallics in model Ni80Al15X5 alloys are extensively examined. Accordingly, it is argued that bigger atomic size X = W impurities, which are more prone to occupy Al sites of gamma ' phase, would further increase the precipitate volume fraction. Correspondingly, a greater amount of directional (i.e., covalent-like) bondings formed via p-d and d-d type hybridizations would enhance the mechanical strength of ternary Ni-Al-W superalloys a bit more, although X = Mo atoms seem to cause relatively strong bonding interactions within both gamma and gamma ' phases. Furthermore, the better bonding stability effect of slow-diffusing X = W atoms in gamma matrix and at gamma/gamma ' interface would lead to a remarkable delay on precipitate coarsening. In gamma ' intermetallics, the ability of X = W atoms to create much stronger and stable bondings with Al atoms compared to Al-Al pairs would prevent the dissolution of this vital phase at longer aging durations by hindering Al diffusion toward gamma matrix. The shape of gamma ' precipitates, which itself is not considered as a primary parameter for the mechanical strength, appears to govern the degree of strength worsening upon gamma ' coarsening, i.e., while regular-shaped (e.g., cubic) gamma '-Ni3Al-Mo(W) precipitates can prohibit extreme strength degradations, alternative transition X impurity additions (i.e., X = Co, Ti, Nb, or Ta) causing irregular-shaped (e.g., elongated or agglomerated) gamma ' intermetallics would accelerate the strength losses.

Enhancement of catalytic performance of Ni based mesoporous alumina by Co incorporation in conversion of biogas to synthesis gas
ARBAĞ, HÜSEYİN; YAŞYERLİ, SENA; YAŞYERLİ, NAİL; DOĞU, GÜLŞEN; Doğu, Timur (2016-12-05)
Mesoporous alumina with an ordered pore structure has significant advantages as a catalyst support in terms of minimization of diffusion limitations and coke formation during reforming reactions. Conversion of biogas to synthesis gas through dry reforming of methane, was investigated over Co & Ni impregnated mono- and bi-metallic mesoporous alumina catalysts with ordered pore structures. Comparison of the results obtained with mesoporous alumina catalysts containing 5% Ni and 2.5% Ni-2.5% Co proved that inc...
On the theory of internal photoemission in heterojunctions
Aslan, B; Turan, Raşit (Elsevier BV, 2005-08-01)
The theory of internal photoemission in semiconductor heterojunctions has been reviewed and the existing model has been extended by incorporating the effects of the difference in the effective masses in the active region and the substrate, non spherical-nonparabolic bands, and the energy loss per collisions. This complete model has been applied to describe the experimental results obtained from Si1-xGex/Si heterojunction infrared photodetectors. The barrier heights (correspondingly the cut-off wavelengths) ...

Optically active polychlorinated bicyclic systems are important starting materials for the synthesis of complex target molecules. In the first part of the study, the syntheses of several racemic and meso hexachloronorbornene derivatives were executed successfully, starting from hexachlorocyclopentadiene. The enantio-enriched acetoxymethyl derivative (-)-2 and the hemiester (-)-6 were synthesized in high e.e. values by using several hydrolase type enzymes. The absolute configuration of (-)-2 was determined b...
