This paper examines the softening behaviour of cold sprayed 7075 aluminum alloy after isothermal annealing. The as-received powder was deposited by a high-pressure spray device using heated nitrogen as propellant gas. To investigate effects post-deposition heat treatment, excised samples were isochronally annealed in temperature range 200 to 400°C. feedstock and free-standing coatings initially characterized through various electron microscopy techniques (SEM, EDS, EBSD) relevant...
Results of computer simulations long term service exposure for weldments the CSN 15 128/P91 and SK3STC/P91 steels are presented compared with corresponding results phase composition experiments. The welded material P91 (EU designation: X10CrMoVNb 9–1) represents progressive chromium steel alloyed molybdenum, vanadium, carbon, nitrogen. 128 (13CrMoV 2–5) is low alloy Cr–Mo–V steel. SK3STC (12CrMo 10–10) consumable electrode material. stability weldment microstructure investigated at elevated...
The environmental performance of structural materials (e.g., corrosion and assisted cracking) is one the critical issues being addressed in development Generation IV fast reactors. This work aims to support study ferritic-martensitic steel T91 liquid lead, under close operation conditions, order assess its suitability for an application lead was tested air at 400 °C using static slow loading regimes. Applied stresses were chosen be slightly above yield strength evaluate threshold stress...

Abstract AlCoCrFeNi 2.1 alloy, which belongs to the group of eutectic high-entropy alloys (EHEAs), possesses a combination increased strength and ductility. It should retain these properties over wide temperature range due high entropy effect system. At same time, are generally considered have good castability, increases possibility casting alloy in larger volumes. One processes, that does not avoid when applied industry, various joining techniques including electron beam welding. The weld...
Abstract The environment in supercritical water-cooled reactors (SCWR) is highly corrosive. With increasing time of operation, an oxide layer grows on the surfaces fuel rod cladding, which increases roughness their surface. aim this study investigation effect due to corrosion heat transfer a fluid at pressure conditions. drastic variations thermophysical properties SCW can lead deterioration or enhancement transfer. correct prediction deterioration, cause sharp temperature peaks cladding big...
The paper presents results obtained during evaluation of dissimilar weld joints creep-resistant steels. During high temperature exposure joints, alloying elements were redistributed across the interface. These diffusion effects can cause local changes microstructure and have a direct effect on mechanical properties in interface area. Carbon nitrogen strongest influence . strong reliability service live whole welded structures. austenitic steel/martenzitic steel type was studied. Laboratory...
Heating elements are one of the important components High Temperature Helium Loop. By means heating test section loop to required temperature is provided even in high gas flow rates loop. The insulation was manufactured cordierite ceramics. With these maximum projected 900 °C could not be reached because decreasing electric resistance among spirals. Therefore several tests were done order discover reason problem. Consequently properties new ceramic material based on corundum for...
Abstract On-surface mass transport is the key process determining kinetics and dynamics of on-surface reactions, including formation nanostructures, catalysis, or surface cleaning. Volatile organic compounds (VOC) localized on a majority surfaces dramatically change their properties act as reactants in many reactions. However, fundamental question “How far how fast can molecules travel to react?” remains open. Here we show that isoprene, natural VOC, ~1 μm s −1 , i.e., centimeters per day,...
