The binary tantalum–oxygen system is assessed using the CALculation of PHase Diagrams (CALPHAD) method with experimental data from literature. oxygen solubility in Ta solid‐solution phase discussed and modeled. low‐ high‐temperature modifications 2 O 5 are described as stoichiometric compounds. This dataset extended into ternary Al–Ta–O by complementing it datasets for Al–O Al–Ta literature adding mixed‐oxide AlTaO 4 . Al–Nb–O created combining three corresponding assessing quasibinary...
Coarse‐grained composites of refractory ceramics and metals are a novel approach for materials at application temperatures up to 1500 °C. Al 2 O 3 the Nb Ta suitable candidates enhanced thermal shock capability, as they show similar expansion. During fabrication, key aspect consider is possible formation additional phases upon interaction constituent well through reaction with environment. X‐Ray diffraction (XRD) investigations microstructure scanning electron microscopy methods unveil –Nb...
Parts for metallurgical applications made from refractory metal–ceramic composites offer improved thermal shock resistance due to their capability resistive heating compared ones solely ceramics such as Al 2 O 3 . The combination of and Nb is intriguing both show similar expansion behavior over a wide temperature range. high affinity form nonprotective oxides, however, hampers its use in oxidative environments. Formation phases at the ceramic–metal interface can have detrimental effects on...
Li1.11(Ni0.4Mn0.4Co0.2)O2 powders were chemically delithiated by (NH4)2S2O8 oxidizer to obtain Lix(Ni0.4Mn0.4Co0.2)O2 powders. The thermal behavior of two specimens, Li0.76Ni0.41Mn0.42Co0.17O2.10 and Li0.48Ni0.38Mn0.46Co0.16O2.07, was studied compared the pristine specimen. Phase transitions at elevated temperatures investigated simultaneous analysis (STA) gas evolution accompanying phase analyzed mass spectroscopy an oxygen detector. enthalpy samples a specimen measured high temperature...
Heat treatment of Ta/Nb-alumina composite parts during fabrication or service can involve the formation refractory oxide phases if additional oxygen is present. The joint approach CALPHAD-based calculations and experimental methods involving electron backscatter diffraction sheds light on why Ta-containing composites form ternary AlTaO4, but in Nb-containing samples only binary compound NbO found.
