Increased risk of ill-health and diseases has been associated with employment in the ferro-alloy factory. Since measurement of transition metals in human blood and hair along with respective exposure rates, provides a means of assessing individual risk, it has been the most important part of the study. In the study majority of the elements in the transition series, such as, vanadium (V), chromi...

The Ni–Mo alloy system is studied. In contrast to the existing Ni–Mo binary phase diagram that shows three stable compounds, b-Ni4Mo, c-Ni3Mo, and d-NiMo, it is determined that d-NiMo is meta-stable at very low temperatures. It is also discovered that two additional compounds, Ni2Mo and Ni8Mo are stable at 0K. 2004 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Cu-Mo and Cu-Ti contact structures were fabricated on multi-crystalline silicon substrates to provide a low resistance ohmic contact. Deposition steps are done in an excellent vacuum chamber by means of electron beam evaporation and samples are then annealed for the realization of an efficient alloy layer. The effects of process parameters such as film thickness, annealing duration and temp...

Abstract As reported in previous studies, the processing of Mo–Si–B alloys using additive manufacturing (AM) techniques, like directed energy deposition (DED) shows a high technical feasibility. The present work investigates cyclic oxidation performance an AM DED Mo–9Si–8B alloy. Depending on temperature (800 °C, 1100 1300 °C), mechanisms vary, which is due to different reactions at surface acc...

The effect of molybdenum (Mo) on the microstructure and creep behavior of nominally Ti–24Al– 17Nb (at.%) alloys and their continuously reinforced SiCfiber composites (fiber volume fraction = 0.35) was investigated. Constant-load, tensile-creep experiments were performed in the stress range of 10–275 MPa at 650 C in air. A Ti–24Al–17Nb–2.3Mo (at.%) alloy exhibited significantly greater creep res...

The purpose of this study was to examine how Co-Cr-Mo dental alloy behaves in the solutions of different pH value and different composition over a relatively long period of time. Co-Cr-Mo dental alloy was exposed in vitro to either simulated saliva (phosphate buffer pH 6.0), a highly acidic medium resembling the extreme conditions in the oral cavity (phosphate buffer pH 3.5), and in lactic acid...

The effect of small molybdenum additions, 0.66 and 2.3 at. pct, on the microstructure, tensile, and creep behavior of a nominally Ti-24Al-17Nb (at. pct) alloy was investigated. The alloy containing 2.3 at. pct Mo contained higher body-centered-cubic (bcc) phase volume fractions, which was expected as Mo stabilizes the bcc phase. Constant load, tensile-creep experiments were performed in the str...

NiCrMoY alloy powders were prepared using inert gas atomization by incorporation of rare earth elements, such as Mo, Nb, and Y into Ni60A powders, the coatings were sprayed by oxy-acetylene flame spray and then remelted with high-frequency induction. The morphologies, hollow particle ratio, particle-size distribution, apparent density, flowability, and the oxygen content of the NiCrMoY alloy po...
