Growth and microstructure of a protective or nonprotective SiO 2 scale the subsequent volatilization formed on high‐purity chemical vapor deposited ( CVD ) SiC nuclear‐grade / composites have been studied during high‐temperature 100% steam exposure. The environmental parameters interest were temperature from 1200°C to 1700°C, pressure 0.1 MPa flow velocities 0.23 145 cm/s. Scale was characterized via electron microscopy X‐ray diffractometry. Arrhenius dependence parabolic oxidation linear...

The reaction mechanism and kinetics of the thermal decomposition uranium dinitride/uranium sesquinitride to mononitride under inert atmosphere at elevated temperature were studied. An increase in lattice parameter UN(2)/alpha-U(2)N(3) phase was observed as increased, corresponding a continuous removal nitrogen. Electron density calculations for these two compounds using XRD powder patterns samples utilizing charge-flipping technique performed first time visualize decrease nitrogen level...

A key barrier to industrial implementation of droplet-on-demand liquid metal jetting is the limited knowledge process-properties relationships for printed components. Herein we investigate influence two parameters; baseplate temperature and infill rotation angle, on densification, microstructure, tensile properties AlSi7Mg parts produced via magnetohydrodynamic-based additive manufacturing. Adjusting from 220°C-500°C resulted in substantial variation mechanical material, however, angle had a...

Liquid metal jetting droplet-on-demand additive manufacturing is an attractive alternative to industry-standard, laser-based techniques that use powder feedstocks and produce large heat affected zones. provides a low feedstock footprint, minimal materials waste, less contamination inclusions from feedstock, compatible with range of materials. However, little has been reported on the liquid process-structure-property relationships are crucial understanding how consistently print high quality...

The oxidative ammonolysis route was used to synthesize three uranium nitrides, UN2, U2N3, and UN, using UF4 as the starting material. Powder XRD analysis showed UN2 U2N3 products contain less than 1.0 wt % oxides. UO2 level identified be 5.0 (0) in UN product it is made, but this increases upon exposure air. morphology of these nitrides studied with SEM, while microstructures were investigated by TEM techniques for first time. An explicit microstructural characterization also presented....

The changes in the phase as a function these conditions (temperature fluence) studied using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), results acquired complementary techniques are presented single place for first time. XRD studies showed that lattice...

Abstract In the context of demonstration UREX (uranium extraction) process, a separation uranium and technetium using an anion exchange resin was performed on simulant solution containing 98.95 g/L 238 U 130.2 mg/L 99 Tc. After sorption resin, TcO 4 − eluted with NH OH, eluting stream treated, converted to Tc metal (yield=52.5%). The purity compound analyzed: it contains less than 23.8 μg per gram characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy; EXAFS...
