Liquid metal infiltration of silicon based alloys into porous carbonaceous materials Part-III: Experimental verification of conversion products and infiltration depth by infiltration of Si-Zr alloy into mixed SiC/ graphite preforms

Annapaola Parrilli, Ludger Weber, Caroline Hain, Alberto Ortona, Manoj Kondibhau Naikade

Porous carbonaceous preforms, made from graphite and silicon carbide (SiC) powders, with varying graphite powder mass fractions and particle sizes, were infiltrated at 1500 degrees C and 1700 degrees C by Si-8 at. pct Zr alloy to produce dense Si-Zr-SiC co ...

Liquid metal infiltration of silicon based alloys into porous carbonaceous materials. Part II: Experimental verification of modelling approaches by infiltration of Si-Zr alloy into idealized microchannels

Ludger Weber, Caroline Hain, Giovanni Bianchi, Alberto Ortona, Manoj Kondibhau Naikade

In this work, the mechanisms leading to the pore closure in reactive melt infiltration (RMI) of carbon by pure silicon and a near eutectic Si-8 at-pct Zr alloy at 1500 and 1700 degrees C under vacuum were studied. Various geometrical configurations of micr ...

Mapping Catalyst‐Solvent Interplay in Competing Carboamination/Cyclopropanation Reactions

Nicolai Cramer, Matthew Wodrich, Miyeon Chang, Simone Gallarati

Group 9 metals, in particular Rh III complexes with cyclopentadienyl ligands, are competent C–H activation catalysts. Recently, a Cp*Rh III catalyzed reaction of alkenes with N -enoxyphthalimides showed divergent outcome based on the solvent, with carboami ...

Fractal Analysis and Time Series Application in ZY-4 SEM Micro Fractographies Evaluation

Maria-Alexandra Paun

SEM microfractographies of Zircaloy-4 are studied by fractal analysis and the time-series method. We first develop a computer application that associates the fractal dimension and lacunarity to each SEM micrograph picture, and produce a nonlinear analysis ...

Crystallization kinetics of atomic crystals revealed by a single-shot and single-particle X-ray diffraction experiment

Christoph Bostedt, Alessandro Colombo, Giorgio Rossi

Crystallization is a fundamental natural phenomenon and the ubiquitous physical process in materials science for the design of new materials. So far, experimental observations of the structural dynamics in crystallization have been mostly restricted to slo ...

Effect of dislocations, Al-3(Sc,Zr) distribution and ageing temperature on theta ' precipitation in Al-Cu-(Sc)-(Zr) alloys

Baptiste Thomas Jean Rouxel

The 2xxx series aluminium alloys, which contain Cu as the main addition element, are widely used in the aerospace industry for their high specific strength. The main strengthening contribution in these alloys comes from the formation of theta' precipitates ...

Nanocellulose-MXene Biomimetic Aerogels with Orientation-Tunable Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Performance

Jakob Heier, Sina Abdolhosseinzadeh

Designing lightweight nanostructured aerogels for high-performance electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding is crucial yet challenging. Ultrathin cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) are employed for assisting in building ultralow-density, robust, and highly f ...

Crystallography and substitution patterns in the ZrO2−YTaO4 system

Anirudh Raju Natarajan

Cation ordering is expected to influence the properties of oxides in the ZrO2−YTaO4 system, but the ordering patterns and their relative energies are not well understood. This work investigates the stability of zirconium-yttrium-tantalum orderings over the ...
