Nanocrystalline Ni-W alloys having both high ductility and high strength were produced by electrodeoisition. The plating bath for the electrodeposition contained nickel sulfate, citric acid, sodium tungstate and ammonium chloride, and was operated at various bath concentrations and conditions of electrolysis. The ductility and tensile strength of the deposited alloys are strongly influenced by ...

Recently, people devote to the development of beta titanium alloys which have better biocompatibility because of the addition of Mo, Nb, Ta, Zr, Sn, et al. In this paper, the effects of heat treatment and cold roll deformation on the mechanical properties of the Ti-11.3Mo-6.6Zr-4.3Sn alloy (TMZS) are investigated by tensile test. The results show that the excellent combination of strength and d...

The microstructure and fatigue performance of three sub-solvus heat treated nickel based disc superalloys for turbine disc applications are reported. The alloy variants studied are RR1000, N18 and Udimet 720 Low Interstitial (U720Li), with the latter tested both in a standard and large grain variant (LG). Their microstructures are examined in terms of grain and gamma prime size (γ'). Fatigue cr...

The effect of additions of tantalum (Ta) to a 40-30-30 cobalt (Co) -chromium (Cr) nickel (Ni) alloy has been studied for several years at the University of Michigan. Mechanical properties of a series of these alloys have been reported by Mohammed and Asgar.1 Those results showed that an alloy containing 13% Ta would have an ultimate tensile strength of 124,000 psi, a yield strength of 90,000 ps...

The generation of nanoalloys of immiscible metals is still a challenge using conventional methods. However, because these materials are currently attracting much attention, alternative methods are needed. In this article, we demonstrate a simple but powerful strategy for the generation of a new metastable alloy of immiscible metals. Au(1-x)Ni(x) 3D structures with 56 at% of nickel in gold were ...

The electrodeposition of Ni–Co alloy from a nickel Watt’s solution in the absence and presence of a permanent parallel magnetic field (PPMF) to the plane of deposition (perpendicular to direction of current) produced a deposited layer with mostly fine grain structure. The deposited layers have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX). It was fou...

A general organometallic route has been developed to synthesize Co(x)Ni(1-x) and Co(x)Fe(1-x) alloy nanoparticles with a fully tunable composition and a size of 4-10 nm with high yield. In contrast to previously reported synthesis methods using dicobalt octacarbonyl (Co(2)(CO)(8)), here the cobalt-cobalt bond in the carbonyl complex is first broken with anhydrous acetone. The acetonated compoun...

Sodium chloride has been proved that it is an effective promoter for the reduction of high-magnesium, low-nickel oxide ore. The aim of current work is to clarify the promotion behavior of sodium chloride in the roasting reduction process. The influence of moisture on the reduction of ore in the presence of sodium chloride is studied to get clear comprehension of promotion process. In the presen...

A method for the simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of nickel, cobalt and copper based on the formation of their complexes with 2-(2-Thiazolylazo)-p-Cresol (TAC) in micellar media of Triton X-100 is proposed. The absorbance spectra were recorded in the range of 500 to 800 nm. The linear concentration range for nickel, cobalt and copper in solution calibration sets were 0.05–1.80, 0.1...

BACKGROUND Recasting the base metal alloys is done as a routine procedure in the dental laboratories whenever there is casting failure or to decrease the unit cost of a fixed partial denture. However, this procedure may affect the metal ceramic bond. Furthermore, it is unclear, as to which test closely predicts the bond strength of metal-ceramic interface. The aim was to compare the bond streng...
