Only the NiAl grain growth and resultant softening of the coating matrix could overcome this problem. Therefore, the effect of heating up to 750°C on the microstructure of NiAl + CrB2 coatings deposited in a ball mill rotating at 350 rpm was investigated through in situ TEM observations. The performed observations proved that defect annihilation starts at ~400°C in large intermetallic grains, which are first attached to the substrate. The growth in NiAl nanocrystallites forming most of the coating is activated only above ~600°C. The average crystallite size was measured to be 5, 14, and 19 nm at RT, 650°C, and 750°C, respectively. The first stage of nano-crystallite growth is relatively fast and connected with the reconstruction of crystallite boundaries using up the amorphous material accumulated in between th...

The studies are conducted in bright‐field and scanning/high‐angle annular dark field modes. The effect of the growth mode on the sharpness of interfaces in the QWs is investigated. Effective in situ ellipsometric control over chemical composition and thickness of the layers constituting the QW structures is demonstrated.

Their structure evolution with increasing carbon content as well as chemical and phase composition were investigated by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Hardness, Young's modulus, and tribological properties in ambient air were studied. Results show that microstructure of deposits evolves from biphasic, containing γ (fcc) and ε (hcp) metallic phases for low carbon content, through nanocrystalline and amorphous for carbon content between 10 and 20 at.%, to quasi-amorphous nanostructural for even higher content of carbon. Segregation of amorphous carbon leads to the formation of self-organized tubular nanostructure for coatings containing more than 30 at.% of carbon. Introduction of carbon into CoCrMo alloy results in a significant increase of hardness up to 14 GPa and improvement of load-bearing capacity which reached 120 MPa. Compared to uncoated CoCrMo substrate, deposited coatings with high carbon content exhibited superior tribological properties with low friction coefficient around 0.2 and wear rate about 2 × 10 −15 m 3 /N/m.

Increased US intensity has a meaningful influence on Mo content in Ni-Mo alloys, which vary from about 14.5 wt% to 19.5 wt%. Enrichment of alloys in Mo resulted in the refinement of the microstructure (crystallite size below 10 nm), and the enhancement of coatings' microhardness (from about 720 to 820 HV) and corrosion properties in chloride media (3.5% NaCl). The opposite effect was observed for Ni coatings, where US agitation did not significantly change the efficiency of Ni electrodeposition, phase composition and crystallite size (about 14 nm) of coatings, which led to the same microhardness values (about 700 HV) of the deposits in the whole range of the US intensities. Obtained results confirmed that US agitation applied during electrodeposition mainly acts as an additional factor affecting the hydrodynamic condition of the process, reducing the diffusion layer thickness and influences kinetics of the Mo reduction controlled by diffusion. Thus, increased US intensities in the analysed range (20 to 40 Wcm-2), resulting in increased Mo content in Ni-Mo alloys, directly influences their functional properties. keywords: Ni coatings; Ni-Mo alloys; induced co-deposition, ultrasound agitation Highlights The effect of US intensity on Ni-Mo composition and properties was studied. Deposition of Ni coatings from citrate-ammonia bath is not dependent on applied US. US agitation affects the kinetic of Ni-Mo deposition, resulting in increased Mo content.

The in situ TEM experiments were aimed at explaining DSC measured exothermic effects through phase transformations taking place during heating of the multilayers with small and large period. Thin foils for these examinations were cut with FIB. The performed experiments showed that the as deposited multilayers are characterized by presence of coarse pseudo-columnar crystallites built of alternating hex-Ti and fcc-Al. The intermixed region at the internal interfaces extends up to 10 nm, i.e. the areas filled with mutually alloyed material starts to dominate over those of pure metals for multilayers of λ small period ( λ ∼ 50 nm ) ; fcc-Al + hcp-Ti → fcc-Al + hcp-Ti + t-Al 3 Ti → λ -TiAl large period ( λ ∼ 200 nm ) ; fcc-Al + hcp-Ti → fcc-Al + hcp-Ti + c-Al 3 Ti → fcc-Al + hcp-Ti + t-Al 3 Ti → λ -TiAl + α 2 -Ti 3 Al

It is shown that with increasing thermal treatment temperature the martensitic transformation temperature increases and the exchange bias is reduced. In the case of low temperature annealing this effect is mediated by stress and structural relaxations, whereas in the case of high temperature annealing followed by water quenching this effect is ascribed to the combined influence of grain size enlargement and composition change resulting from metastability of the NieMneSneAl phase at elevated temperatures. Furthermore low temperature thermal treatment leads to the change in the martensite structure from 4O to 10M as is demonstrated by in situ TEM studies. It is demonstrated that low temperature annealing is a preferable method for fine tuning magnetostructural properties of NieMneSneAl ribbons.

The thin films were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and spectroscopic techniques. Photoluminescence (PL) in the near infrared obtained upon 514.5 nm excitation was also examined. The relationship between the Nd concentration, structural, optical and photoluminescence properties of prepared thin films was investigated and discussed. XRD and TEM measurements showed that an increase in the Nd concentration in the thin films hinders the crystal growth in the deposited coatings. Depending on the Nd amount in the thin films, TiO 2 with the rutile, mixed rutile–amorphous or amorphous phase was obtained. Transmittance measurements revealed that addition of Nd dopant to titania matrix did not deteriorate optical transparency of the coatings, however it influenced on the position of the fundamental absorption edge and therefore on the width of optical band gap energy. All TiO 2 :Nd thin films exhibited PL emission that occurred at ca. 0.91, 1.09 and 1.38 μm. Finally, results obtained for deposited coatings showed that titania with the rutile structure and 1.0 at.% of Nd was the most efficient in VIS to NIR photon conversion.

The fibers were stabilized inside preform by dipping in liquid glass and heat treated at 800oC/2 hours. It allowed both to coat fibers with a thin layer of silica and bond fibers with amorphous silica bridges producing self supporting porous structure. The microstructure observations were performed using Tecnai FEG (200kV) transmission electron microscope. The performed investigations showed that infiltrating preform with AA6061 alloy with ~1 wt. % Mg caused reaction of silica with liquid metal substituting the former with porous amorphous Al2O3. A presence of MgO at the interfaces with aluminium matrix was noted. The infiltration with low magnesium EN AC 44200 (Mg <0.6 wt.%) alloy helped to produce composite with the silica bridges between fibers practically intact.

The microstructure and phase composition were analyzed using the transmission electron microscopy method including high resolution electron microscopy imaging. The measurements of the optical properties showed, that both prepared thin films were transparent in the visible light range and had a low extinction coefficient of ca. 3 Á 10 À3. The thin film with the anatase structure had a lower cutoff wavelength and refractive index and a higher value of optical energy band gap as-compared to the TiO 2 :Nd coating with the rutile structure. Simultaneously, more efficient photoluminescence emission was observed for the rutile thin films.

The friction coefficient decreased with a decreasing ionic radius of rare-earth elements in both the monoliths and the composites. The friction coefficient of composites was always lower in comparison with that of Si 3 N 4 monoliths. Similarly, the specific wear rate significantly decreased with a decreasing ionic radius of rare-earths either in monolithic or composite materials. The composites always exhibited lower specific wear rate compared to the monoliths. Mechanical wear (micro-fracture) and tribochemical reaction were found as the main wear mechanisms in all investigated materials. The higher bonding strength in the case of materials sintered with additives of a smaller ionic radius restricts dropping of the individual silicon nitride grains during wear experiments. This high bonding strength and the high fracture toughness are the reasons why the ceramics doped by Lu exhibited the best wear resistance. The Evans and Marshall lateral-crack chipping model based on the fracture toughness and hardness values well describes the wear rate of the investigated micro/nanocomposites.
