Derived by means of EBSD, statistics crystal curvature in quenched low carbon steel is analyzed with allowance for its transformation kinetics terms dilatometry data. Based on spectra sensitive to the distribution dislocation density, fractions martensite and bainite are quantified at high cooling rates. Distinction between resulting microstructures ascribed various proportions their athermal t...

he possibility to obtain sintered material from alkaline basaltic tuffs is demonstrated. The parent rock was milled for 10–15 min, the resulting owder was pressed at 100 MPa and the obtained samples were heat-treated in the range of 1000–1140 ◦C. The sintering behaviour and the phase ormation were studied by pycnometry, dilatometry, DTA, XRD and SEM. The final material was obtained by sintering...

The complexity of phase stability and transformations in plutonium alloys is reflected in the plutoniumgallium (Pu-Ga) phase diagram, which is perhaps the most complex of all binary systems. Although many investigations have explored phase equilibria, transformation systematics, and structure/property relations in the Pu-Ga system, many outstanding problems remain and new issues regularly appea...
