The sintering behavior of calcium pyrophosphate (CPP, Ca2P2O7)-doped beta-tricalcium phosphate [TCP, Ca3(PO4)2], prepared by solid state reaction, was investigated in-situ, using dilatometry. Pure beta-TCP undergoes phase transition to alpha-TCP at about 1200 degrees C; hence pure beta-TCP ceramics should be sintered bclow 1200 degrees C. Pure beta-TCP sintered body can achieve a relative densi...

Metamagnetic materials enable control of the ground state through applied magnetic fields. Understanding microscopic origin metamagnetism promises tuneability for new technological functionalities. Here, authors use quasiparticle interference, magnetization measurements, and dilatometry in vector fields to establish interplay between magnetism, spin-orbit coupling, electronic structure, crystal...

Electrolyte powders with low sintering temperature and high-ionic conductivity can considerably facilitate the fabrication performance of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Gadolinia-doped ceria (GDC) is a promising electrolyte for developing intermediate- low-temperature (IT LT) SOFCs. However, conventional GDC usually above 1200 °C unless additives are used. In this work, nanocrystalline powder ...

Advanced experimental techniques in terms of situ dilatometry and X-ray microtomography as well microscopy have been used to investigate cavitation unfilled carbon black reinforced styrene-butadiene rubber vulcanizates. The work introduces into the features multiaxial deformation damage behavior characterized by formation growth internal defects – so-called cavities. Experimental evidence indic...

Abstract The present contribution concentrates on the different effects of Si and Al carbide precipitation austenite decomposition during Q&P-process an additional galvannealing treatment up to 560 °C. These have been investigated by dilatometry (derivation relative length change) differential scanning calorimetry (heat flow) tempering. It was possible show beneficial effect retarding in te...

A modified quenching and deformation dilatometer (TA instruments DIL 805A/D/T) is now in operation at the Heinz Maier‐Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ, Germany) neutron center. It customized for running scattering measurements during temperature/deformation treatment of sample, particular diffraction (phase, texture, lattice strain) small angle scattering. The bulk length change specimens successfully com...
