We have studied the magnetodieletric coupling of polycrystalline samples of the spinels MCr(2)O(4) (M = Mn, Co and Ni). Dielectric anomalies are clearly observed at the onset of the magnetic spiral structure (T(s)) and at the 'lock-in' transition (T(f)) in MnCr(2)O(4) and CoCr(2)O(4), and also at the onset of the canted structure (T(s)) in NiCr(2)O(4). The strength of the magnetodielectric coup...

High-power P-I-N diodes (2.5 kV, 150 A) with sputtered NiV and NiCr layers at anode were implanted by 10 MeV helium ions and subsequently annealed in the range 550 – 800 C. The devices were characterized using XPS, DLTS and OCVD. Leakage current, forward voltage drop and reverse recovery measurements were measured as well. The Radiation Enhanced Diffusion (RED) of nickel was registered after 20...

Abstract Corrosion performance of NiCr and NiCrBSi coatings produced by APS, HVOF, HVAF was studied electrochemical measurements immersion tests in 0.5 3.5 wt.% NaCl solutions. In the measurements, performed better than coatings. The effect coating process on corrosion resistance material significantly lower that selected materials, or NiCrBSi. All showed a tendency to passivate but suffered fr...

Friction stir processing (FSP) is a novel method of metal surface modification during the process by addition strengthening particles. FSP produced refined microstructures with development added ceramic particles on metal. In this FSP, mechanical characteristics were enhanced parameters, tool spinning speed, traverse speed and axial force high carbon chromium die steel (non-consumable tool). re...
