Abstract To meet the demands of modern vehicles and electronic devices, an increasing number new materials for cathode high-performance supercapacitors have been studied in depth. Here, GO/NA-Cl composites were successfully fabricated by in-situ grow NiAl layered double hydroxide (NiAl LDH) nanosheets on graphene oxide (GO) flakes through one-step hydrothermal procedure supercapacitor. The imag...

The effect of tungsten alloying on the elastic properties B2-NiAl at low-temperature and high-temperature distribution W atoms sublattices. By means exact muffin-tin orbitals method in conjunction with coherent potential approximation, constants C 11 ,C 12 44 , Young's modulus E, shear G, Cauchy pressure values, G/B ratios are calculated. Using phenomenological criteria correlation between duct...

The steady-state creep rate of Ni-base metallic foams, with superalloy composition (in wt. pct) Ni7.8∼9.1Al (relative density, ρ = 2.5-2.6) and Ni-13.5∼16.6Cr-5.1∼8.9Al (ρ = 2.8∼3.0), was measured under a range of temperatures (680∼825°C) and applied stresses (0.1∼0.3 MPa), and compared with that of NiAl intermetallic foams (ρ = 5.3). The stress exponent and activation energy are within the exp...

We have investigated the growth and reactivity of chromium layers deposited onto a thin alumina film at room temperature and at 570 K. The interaction between Cr and the Al2O3/NiAl(1 1 0) surface leads to partial oxidation to Cr2þ and Cr3þ species. Complete oxidation to Cr3þ was achieved using moderate O2 doses at room temperature in vacuum. Cr has also been deposited in an O2 background pressu...

An understanding of load sharing among constituent phases aids in designing mechanical properties of multiphase materials. Here we investigate load partitioning between the body-centered-cubic iron matrix and NiAl-type precipitates in a ferritic alloy during uniaxial tensile tests at 364 and 506 °C on multiple length scales by in situ neutron diffraction and crystal plasticity finite element mo...

The introduction of computational modelling during alloy development has significantly reduced the cost production and prolonged time spent by researchers doing trials errors in laboratory. In this study, software (JMat Pro) was used to simulate effect addition Zr Co, on material properties NiAl-Mo(Cr) such as elastic modulus, hardness, thermal conductivity, bulk modulus specific heat capacity....

Films of (10 10) textured CoCrPt have been sputtered on polymer substrates for use as thin film tape media. Underlayers of NiAl combined with various intermediate layers were employed to obtain this orientation without thermal damage to the polymer. It was found that NiAl underlayers sputtered on tape substrates have a (112) growth texture, like they do on glass. Film coercivity varied as a fun...

Point defects play an important role in determining the structural stability and mechanical behavior of intermetallic compounds. To help quantitatively understand the point defect properties in these compounds, we developed PyDII, a Python program that performs thermodynamic calculations of equilibrium intrinsic point defect concentrations and extrinsic solute site preferences in intermetallics...
