Effect of oxygen implantation on the corrosion-electrochemical behavior of Cu-Mn alloy........................................................5

 

The study of chemical compound and structure of Cu-Mn alloy implanted with O+ ions with energy of 10-30 keV with fluence of 1017 cm–2 was carried out. Using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray phase analysis, we studied changes in the type of chemical bond and atomic structure in irradiated Cu-Mn samples. Electrochemical properties of irradiated surfaces have been estimated by means of anodic potentiodynamic curves measuring in a neutral medium of a borate buffer solution, hydrochloric acid, and potassium hydroxide. As a result of irradiation, the selective oxidation of manganese leads to the formation of a oxide-gradient layer on the surface. This layer ensures the transition of the alloy to a passive state. At a depth of more than 30 nm, two FCC structures of Cu-Mn solid solutions are formed in which the concentration of Mn is significantly lower than in the initial state. Formation of various oxides converts the alloy to a corrosion-resistant state in neutral and alkaline media. Analysis of the data obtained by XPS, XRD and electrochemical studies of a model Cu-Mn alloy consisting of electropositive (Cu) and electronegative (Mn) metal alloy confirm an assumption that the increased corrosion resistance of such alloys is due to the durability and continuity oxide layers formation on the surface. In an acidic environment of hydrogen chloride, the presence of depassivating chloride ions and low pH values contribute to the dissolution of surface oxides. As a result, the corrosion resistance of the Cu-Mn alloy, including after irradiation with oxygen ions, does not increase.

 

Keywords: electrochemical corrosion, oxides, ionic modification, Cu-Mn alloy, surface, chemical structure, atomic structure.

Effect of implanted helium on physical-mechanical properties of armco-iron at the temperatures of manifestation

of the blue brittleness effect........................................................................................................................................................14

 

The regularities and features of dynamic deformation aging of armco-iron samples uniformly in volume implanted with helium to a concentration of ~10–3 at.% He under irradiation with a-particles with an energy of 50 MeV were studied. Unirradiated and irradiated samples were deformed by tension at a rate of 8.3·10–4 s –1 at temperatures of 295-475 K, and mechanical properties and energy characteristics — strain work, dissipated heat, and total stored energy — were determined. It is shown that under tension in the temperature range 350-600 K in the unirradiated and in the irradiated material the process of dynamic deformation aging is occurred. The effect of increasing the ductility of iron implanted with helium in the temperature range 425-475 K which is accompanied by additional heat release was discovered. The increasing of the plasticity of iron implanted with helium is explained by the formation of complex clusters containing helium atoms, vacancies, and impurity atoms, which leads to the clearing of the matrix of interstitial atoms and facilitating the movement of dislocations.

 

Keywords: armco-iron, helium implantation, mechanical properties, dynamic deformation aging.

Influence of g-Al2O3 nanoparticles on radiolysis of transformer oil containing polychlorobiphenyl impurities.......................20

 

The effect of g-irradiation with a dose of 68.4 kGy on the IR spectra of transformer oil containing 15-40 ppm polychlorobiphenyl (PCB) and g-Al2O3 nanoparticles was studied. In the IR spectra, stretching vibrations =Ñ–Í of aromatic compounds, Ñ–Í stretching vibrations, and Ñ–ÑÍ3 deformation vibrations in alkanes are observed. The influence of Al-Al2O3 nanoparticles on the formation of molecular hydrogen and hydrocarbon gases CH4, C2H4, C2H6, C3H8 was studied during the radiolysis of the systems. It was found that the addition of 40 ppm PCB to transformer oil leads to a slight increase in the radiation-chemical yield of hydrogen from G = 0.24 to G = 0.27 molecules/100 eV, while the addition of g-Al2O3 nanoparticles causes a significant increase in G(H2) to 0.91 molecules/100 eV.

Formation of nitrides on the surface of amorphous alloys under laser irradiation...................................................................26

 

Effect of pulsed laser irradiation (3 J, 3 ms) on the microstructure and chemical composition of the surface of Zr46Cu46Al8 amorphous alloy has been investigated with the help of field emission scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis methods. Laser-induced thermal field in near the surface layer was calculated by means of numerical method. Crater with 800 mm in diameter is found to be formed on the surface after laser irradiation. After crystallisation, dendrite crystals of 1-10 mm in size were observed in the central 200 mm size zone of the crater and a columnar structure formed in the rest of the crater. On the crater surface there was detected the high concentration of nitrogen and oxygen (~40%). Calculated values of activation energy of oxides and nitrides formation were equal 2 and 290 kJ/mole respectively.

Influence of material charging into plasma-arc furnace bath on energy parameters

of reduction melting of quartz-leucoxene concentrate...............................................................................................................36

 

Energy parameters of plasma-arc reduction melting of quartz-leucoxene are investigated. Quartz-leucoxene is a perspective raw material of Russian titan industry. The melting is aimed at refining of quartz-leucoxene from silicon and production of synthetic rutile. The refining is based on reduction of SiO2 to SiO and evaporation of SiO from the melt. The melting was pursued at atmospheric pressure in laboratory DC current plasma-arc furnace with graphite electrode and graphite crucible. The material was fed into crucible throw axial cannel in electrode. The bath of melted material served as anode of the arc. Argon was also fed into electrode cannel as plasma forming gas. It was shown that arc current decreased and voltage between crucible and electrode increased when feed of material began. On the contrary the current increased and the voltage decreased when feed stopped. It was proposed that such changing of volt- ampere parameters is due to high electric resistance of bath bearing solid particles. It was assumed that the resistance of completely liquid bath was negligible. The resistance of bath with solid particles was estimated on the base of volt-ampere parameters. It was shown that charging of the material into the bath leads to increase of bath heating due to increase of joule heating. The increase of joule heating is due to increase of electric resistance of the bath which contains solid material during charging. The power of joule heating was 70% from arc heating power and compensated expenditures on melting and chemical treatment of the material.

and thermoacoustic treatment during vacuum pumping of the air atmosphere.........................................................................42

 

Method of measurement of the relative amount of gas released from the magnetron during its vacuum pumping which allows to evaluate the effectiveness of a particular method. The equations describing the three main reactions occurring in the process of gas release are found, sophisticated analysis of the vacuum pumping process is carried out. The developed technique was tested on model objects and applied to measurement of the relative amount of gas released from a serial magnetron during vacuum pumping. Calculations were carried out which allows to fix the relative amount of gas pumped out from magnetrons with the use of different methods of degassing. The comparative analysis of the obtained data is carried out. The proposed method of acceleration of sorption-diffusion processes under the influence of ultrasonic vibrations on the magnetron body simultaneously with its heating during vacuum pumping showed its effectiveness by increasing the gas release by more than 2 times.

Mechanosynthesized composite materials based on ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene modified

with magnesium ferrite particles................................................................................................................................................57

 

Composite materials based on ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and magnesium ferrite particles — precursors for future formation of light protective against electromagnetic radiation material have been synthesized mechanochemically. Applying scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and magnetic measurements, the influence of the ferrite particles synthesis methods (solid phase, coprecipitation, sol-gel or mechanosynthesis) on the structural and morphological characteristics of UHMWPE/ferrite composite materials were studied. It was shown that the mechanochemical method of composite formation contributes to an increase in the dispersity as ferrite particles, by their non-uniform distribution in the UHMWPE volume with the transformation of its supramolecular structure. The method of ferrites particles synthesizing has a different effect on the formation of the molecular structure of UHMWPE: the appearance of a larger number of molecular structures with low melting points was a sign of greater homogeneity of mixing using smaller and uniform particles of ferrite. The observed formation of low molecular weight polymer chains should increase the rate of mutual diffusion between the boundaries of the polymer particles, which in sintering processes will lead to better sintering of the particles.

from oil and gas deposits............................................................................................................................................................69

 

An inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer was used to study the depth distribution of hydrocarbon gases and trace elements contained in solid rocks. The results indicate the migration of hydrocarbon gases and show that under the influence of penetrating water and dissolved gases there is a change in the composition and properties of rocks and their partial dolomitization. Taking this effect into account allows one to increase the reliability of forecasting when searching for oil and gas fields.

of simultaneous continuous casting and metal deformation in solid-liquid state......................................................................75

 

Evolution of the microstructure and the change in the mechanical properties of samples of aluminum alloys D1 and D16 cut from different areas of the material blanks produced by continuous vertical casting with simultaneous deformation of the metal in a solid-liquid state are considered. The scheme of the prototype installation for the implementation of this technology is presented. The methodology for preparing samples for studying the structure of the areas of the ingot located in different parts of the mold and solidified under various temperature and force conditions is considered in detail. It has been shown that the advantage of the technology considered is the formation of a fine-grained structure during crystallization and an increase in the mechanical properties of the metal. For aluminum alloys D1 and D16 produced by this technology, the increase in tensile strength was 20 and 18%, yield strength — 40 and 39%, hardness — 28 and 26%, respectively, the relative elongation of both alloys increased 2.5 times.
