The ethylene hydrogenation activity is compared for molybdenum oxycarbides, molybdenum carbides and a molybdenum alloy formed by reaction of molybdenum hexacarbonyl with alumina in ultrahigh vacuum using temperature-programmed desorption. It is found that molybdenum oxycarbides are inactive for ethylene hydrogenation. It is shown by forming carbides by reaction between alumina and ethylene that...

Structures operating at high temperatures and exposed to aggressive gaseous media are made of low-alloy molybdenum TsM-10 of the system Mo-Al-B, TsM-6 of the system Mo-Zr-B and TsM-12 of the system Mo-Zr-Hf-B [1, 2]. Alloy TsM-10 is commercially pure molybdenum deoxidized by aluminium and boron. Alloy TsM-6 is alloyed with up to 0.2 wt. % zirconium and TsM-12, is alloyed with up to 0.03 wt. % z...

Bacterial adhesion to the surface of biomaterials is an essential step in the pathogenesis of implant-related infections. In this in vitro research, we evaluated the ability of Staphylococcus epidermidis to adhere to the surface of solid biomaterials, including oxidized zirconium-niobium alloy (Oxinium), cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy, titanium alloy, commercially pure titanium, and stainless...

in the present study, nanocrystalline ni50al50-xmox (x = 0, 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5) intermetallic compound was produced through mechanical alloying of nickel, aluminum, and molybdenum powders. alni compounds with good and attractive properties such as high melting point, high strength to weight ratio and high corrosion resistance especially at high temperatures have attracted the attention of many rese...

Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) has been used to study the surface compositions of three types of nickel based chromium alloys. These alloys are IN600, IN601 and C22. AES analysis indicated the presence of chromium and oxygen on their surfaces. The formation of this chromium oxide surface layer, 3 nm thick, provides excellent corrosion resistance. For alloy C22, no molybdenum was indicated on...

An artificial intelligence tool is exploited to discover and characterize a new molybdenum-base alloy that is the most likely to simultaneously satisfy targets of cost, phase stability, precipitate content, yield stress, and hardness. Experimental testing demonstrates that the proposed alloy fulfills the computational predictions, and furthermore the physical properties exceed those of other co...

A nickel alloy with high chrome and molybdenum content was found to form a highly resistive and passive oxide layer. The donor density and mobility of ions in the oxide layer has been determined as a function of the electrical potential when alkaline water layers are on the alloy surface in order to account for the relative inertness of the nickel alloy in corrosive environments.

Molybdenum rhenium alloy thin films can exhibit superconductivity up to critical temperatures of T(c)=15K. At the same time, the films are highly stable in the high-temperature methane/hydrogen atmosphere typically required to grow single wall carbon nanotubes. We characterize molybdenum rhenium alloy films deposited via simultaneous sputtering from two sources, with respect to their compositio...
