Density measurements on levitated liquid metal droplets

Electromagnetic levitation is a useful tool for measuring thermophysical properties of high-temperature melts such as liquid metals. Due to its noncontact nature, the undercooled regime is also accessible. Density and thermal expansion of a levitated drop can be derived from volume measurements, if its mass is known. Assuming cylindrical symmetry, the volume of a drop can be determined from its cross section. Using photography, such measurements on liquid metals have been performed in the past. Here we present an improvement of this method, which replaces the photographic camera with a CCD videocamera and subsequent digital image processing. This reduces the time effect required to obtain the results and allows one to average over disturbing surface oscillations. The specific problems of digital image processing, namely resolution and edge detection, are addressed and results on nickel are presented.Paper presented at the Fourth International Workshop on Subsecond Thermophysics, June 27–29, 1991, Köln, Germany.     

A new microsecond pulse-heating system to investigate thermophysical properties of solid and liquid metals

A new discharge system for resistive self-heating has been constructed for the measurement of accurate thermophysical properties. A constant-current pulse is used to heat metals over a time interval of 50 to 100 s, reaching temperatures up to the boiling point. New techniques have been developed to obtain sound speeds in the pulse-heated sample, emissivities, and vapor pressure. A new pyrometer allows the extension of the measured temperature range down to the melting point of copper.

OBSERVATION ON SPUTTERING SURFACE OF ALLOYS IN GLOW DISCHARGE

Glow discharge cathodic sputtering of alloys containing second phase precipitates or injectedoxide particles has been observed with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer and scanningelectron microprobe.It was shown that the formation of cones during the sputtering in thesealloys is due to masking of the matrix by glow sputtering second phase precipitates or oxideparticles.At steady state,the density of cottes were found to be a function of the densities pre-cipitates or oxide particles in bulk alloy.In addition to the changes of local sputtering rate,theelectrostatic effect may play a role on the formation fo cones.

NICKEL-BASED ALLOYS IN GE AIRCRAFT TURBINES：PAST,PRESENT ＆ FUTURE

1. Introduction Freedom to travel anywhere in the world, both quickly and inexpensively, defines our modern era. Despite year-to-year variation, the long term demand for travel by airplane continues to grow. Three ma- jor systems comprise the modern airplane: the aircraft structure that encompasses the fuselage, wings, and landing gear; the avionics that enable flight through crowded skies in nearly all weather conditions; and the propulsion system that powers the aircraft.

Preparation of carbon nanotube composite material with metal matrix by electroplating

It is demonstrated that the nickel can be deposited directly on the surface of carbon nanotubes without pre-sensitization by Sn^2＋ and Pd^2＋ in a watt bath containing suspended nanotubes by electroplating. The nickel is deposited as spherical nanoparticle on the nanotubes. By increasing reaction time, the carbon nanotube is fully coated with nickel. A probable model, which represents the formation process of carbon nanotube-nickel composites by electroplating, is presented. The results show that this method is efficient and simple for preparing carbon nanotube-metal composite.     

Interaction between erosion and high-temperature corrosion of metals: The erosion-affected oxidation regime

The combined erosion-oxidation of nickel, cobalt, and the oxides of these metals have been studied at 780°C in air to examine two regimes of interactionnamely, a regime of erosion-enhanced oxidation during which an oxide scale of constant thickness covers metal specimens, and a regime of oxidation-affected erosion that is characterized by a composite surface layer of metal, oxide, and erodent. In the case of cobalt, these two regimes have been documented and the transition from one regime to another described. For the range of conditions examined, only the oxidation-affected erosion regime was observed for nickel due to its lower oxidation rate compared to cobalt.     

Effects of phosphorus addition on the magnetic properties of sintered Fe-50 wt.% Ni alloys

Phosphorus was added to Fe-50 wt.% Ni in the form of a coated composite powder via an electroless plating process. Addition of phosphorus to Fe-50 wt.% Ni facilitated increases in density and grain size, both of which were beneficial to magnetic performance. Because of the homogeneous distribution of phosphorus in the powder, the optimal phosphorus addition was much lower than for those using Fe₃P as the phosphorus precursor. The optimal phosphorus addition was close to its maximum solubility in Fe-50 wt.% Ni (about 0.5 wt.%), above which precipitation of excessive phosphorus in the form of iron nickel phosphide, (Fe,Ni)₃P, effectively degraded the magnetic properties of Fe-50 wt.% Ni. Without the addition of phosphorus, good magnetic properties could be achieved only when the sintering temperature was high enough (>1200 °C) to result in a high sintered density and large grains in the sintered structure.
