Final Sintering Of Cr₂O₃ With Minor Additions Of Mgo And Sintering Of Mgo With Minor Additions Of Cr₂O₃, Gordon E. Jungquist
Final Sintering Of Cr₂O₃ With Minor Additions Of Mgo And Sintering Of Mgo With Minor Additions Of Cr₂O₃, Gordon E. Jungquist
Masters Theses
"The effect of oxygen activity on the sintering of Cr₂O₃ with minor additions of MgO, and of MgO with minor additions of Cr₂O₃ at 1600ºC was investigated. A peak density (99.4% of theoretical) was obtained for high purity Cr₂O₃ by maintaining the equilibrium oxygen partial pressure needed to maintain the Cr₂O₃ phase. The addition of 0.1 wt. % MgO increased the sintered density at the same oxygen pressure to 99.8%. Further MgO additions decreased the density. The density of pure MgO was independent of the PO₂ over the range investigated. Addition of Cr₂O₃ to MgO decreased the density at …
Evaluation Of A Cation Isotopic Substitution Technique In Conjunction With A High Temperature Gas Pycnometer For Determining The Stoichiometry Of Materials, Michael Clair Graves
Evaluation Of A Cation Isotopic Substitution Technique In Conjunction With A High Temperature Gas Pycnometer For Determining The Stoichiometry Of Materials, Michael Clair Graves
Masters Theses
"This study was concerned with the evaluation of a high temperature gas pycnometer, used in conjunction with a cation isotopic substitution technique, for determining the stoichiometry of materials. Three methods were investigated for determining the correction factors for the thermal gradient effects in the gas pycnometer. The correction factors were shown to be dependent on the temperature, the sample volume, and the height of the sample in the sample chamber. Under the conditions of these experiments, the correction factors were shown to be essentially independent of sample grain size and pycnometer atmosphere. The determination of the stoichiometry of cadmium oxide …
Mechanical Properties Of Low Carbon Martensite, Allen L. Affolter
Mechanical Properties Of Low Carbon Martensite, Allen L. Affolter
Masters Theses
"Steels of three different compositions were heat treated and tensile tested in order to determine their mechanical properties after heat treatment. All samples had near 0.20 per cent carbon and two manganese levels 0.90 per cent and 1.35 per cent. One group containing the higher manganese level also had small additions of columbium and vanadium. The specimens were too brittle in the as-quenched condition to be loaded to full strength. Maximum strength and ductility were found after short time tempering at low tempering temperatures -- 2 to 15 minutes at 200º to 300ºF. Higher strengths were found at the low …
Phase Equilibrium And Thermodynamic Study Of The Iron-Copper-Carbon System, Krishna Parameswaran
Phase Equilibrium And Thermodynamic Study Of The Iron-Copper-Carbon System, Krishna Parameswaran
Masters Theses
"Gas carburization experiments were conducted at 950ºC in order to study the phase relations and to determine the activity of carbon in the iron-rich corner of the iron-copper-carbon system. The solubility of graphite in equilibrium with iron-copper alloys was determined at 950º, 1000º, and 1050ºC. The results of gas carburization and graphite solubility experiments at 950ºC were used in constructing an isothermal section of the iron-rich end of the iron-copper-carbon phase diagram, on which are superimposed carbon isoactivity lines. Graphite solubility data at 1000º and 1050ºC were used to construct similar diagrams without the isoactivity lines. The effect of carbon …
High Temperature Compressive Creep In Mullite, Peter C. Smith
High Temperature Compressive Creep In Mullite, Peter C. Smith
Masters Theses
"Compressive creep measurements were made on two groups of mullites at temperatures between 1455ºC and 1520ºC. The first group consisted of commercially manufactured mullites. The second group was made up of 7 different mullite compositions spanning the alumina-silica solid solution range from 3Al₂O₃ • 2SiO₂ to 2Al₂O₃ • SiO₂ . Thermal activation energies and stress exponents were calculated for the mullites in the second group. Steady state strain rates taken at 1460ºC under loads of 100 and 110 psi varied between 1.3x10⁻⁴ in/in/hr and 15.4x10⁻⁴ in/in/hr. Activation energies were between 109 Kcal/mole and 204 Kcal/mole. Stress exponents calculated from data …
A Study Of The Dislocation Instability And Reverse Martensitic Transformation In Fe-Ni System, Chung Lim
A Study Of The Dislocation Instability And Reverse Martensitic Transformation In Fe-Ni System, Chung Lim
Masters Theses
"Since the martensitic reaction is a strain transformation, the transformation of the lattice structure can be induced by an external stresses. This also means that the macroscopic total elastic constant should decrease as the temperature is lowered to Ms on cooling. For the reverse transformation an anomalous decrease of the elastic constant is to be expected as the temperature increases to As on heating. In this experiment measurements of the velocity change of an ultrasonic wave in Fe-Ni alloys were carried out for the reverse martensitic transformation. The deviation from the linear relationship of the velocity change as …
The Pm3m-Fm3m Transformation And Phase Equilibrium In Solid Solutions Of Csc1 With Kc1, Rbc1, And Csbr, John David Weyand
The Pm3m-Fm3m Transformation And Phase Equilibrium In Solid Solutions Of Csc1 With Kc1, Rbc1, And Csbr, John David Weyand
Masters Theses
"Thermal expansion and the Pm3m t Fm3m transition of cesium chloride have been studied with high temperature diffractometry, differential thermal analysis, and heating and quenching techniques. The onset temperature of the transition in pure CsCl, on heating, is 471ºC. There are no observable premonitory effects below the transition temperature and no apparent structural relationships between the polymorphs is apparent. Both phases coexist over a 20º to 50ºC temperature range and equilibrium thermal hysteresis occurs on heating and cooling. Hysteresis behavior is explained by addition of strain energy parameters to the free energy function. Initiation of the Pm3m t Fm3m transformation …
The Effect Of 15% Mno On The Phase Relations In The System Cao-Feo-Sio₂ At 1450ºc, Aquil Ahmad
The Effect Of 15% Mno On The Phase Relations In The System Cao-Feo-Sio₂ At 1450ºc, Aquil Ahmad
Masters Theses
"A study was made of the phase relations at 1450ºC in the systems CaO-FeO-SiO₂ and CaO-FeO-SiO₂ -15% MnO, in equilibrium with metallic iron. The stability region of different phases was determined by microscopic examination and electron-beam microprobe analysis of the quenched specimens. The effect of 15% MnO on the liquid saturation boundary of the system CaO-(FeO+MnO)-SiO₂ was discussed in terms of the effect of MnO on slag making reactions in the Basic Oxygen Furnace steelmaking process"--Abstract, page ii.

Phase Equilibrium And Thermodynamic Study Of Lime-Iron Oxide Solid Solutions, Shin Suk Kang
Masters Theses
"The solubility limits of iron oxide in solid lime were determined as a function of oxygen pressure at 1300º and 1400ºG in the system CaO-iron oxide. The stability region of dicalcium ferrite was determined with respect to formation of lime-iron oxide solid solution and liquid oxide. In addition, the hydration behavior in moist air of pure lime and sintered mixtures of lime and iron oxide was also observed. Pelletized samples were equilibrated under known oxygen partial pressures and quenched. Phases present in the quenched samples were identified by microscopy. The solubility limit of iron oxide in CaO is strongly dependent …
The Effect Of Cathodic Protection On The Stress Corrosion Characteristics Of 300m Low Alloy Steel, John Pechonick
The Effect Of Cathodic Protection On The Stress Corrosion Characteristics Of 300m Low Alloy Steel, John Pechonick
Masters Theses
"The objective of this investigation was to determine if stress corrosion failure of 300M steel is accelerated by the application of cathodic protection. Testing was conducted on notch tensile specimens that were coated with vacuum cadmium, electroplated cadmium, and vacuum aluminum. All specimens were stressed and placed in an aqueous sodium chloride environment. The failure times for the specimens were monitored and graphs were drawn which characterized the stress corrosion resistance of 300M steel and the cathodic protection systems. Fractography techniques were used to study the failure surfaces to determine the type of failure mechanism. The results of this thesis …
Quenching Defects In Aluminum Plus Ten Atomic Per Cent Zinc, James Thomas Grider
Quenching Defects In Aluminum Plus Ten Atomic Per Cent Zinc, James Thomas Grider
Masters Theses
"This study was undertaken to resolve the conflict which has recently arisen as to the as-quenched microstructure in the Al-Zn system as revealed by thin film transmission electron microscopy. The composition range of most active study has been that from 5 to 15 atomic per cent Zn in superpurity AL. Consequently a composition of 10 atomic per cent Zn was chosen for this study. There are no discontinuties in the phase diagram in this composition range which would influence the above choice. It exists as a single phase solid solution at high temperatures and as a two phase alloy at …
Alkali Mobility And Mechanical Relaxation In Mixed-Alkali Silicate Glasses, James W. Fleming Jr.
Alkali Mobility And Mechanical Relaxation In Mixed-Alkali Silicate Glasses, James W. Fleming Jr.
Masters Theses
"Internal friction and sodium and potassium self-diffusion coefficients for (1-X)Na₂O · XK₂O· 3SiO₂ glasses were measured. Alkali diffusion was measured between 300 and 500ºC using radioactive isotopes and a thin-sectioning technique. Internal friction was measured from room temperature to 500ºC, 0.1 to 2000 Hz. Comparison between alkali diffusion and internal friction data for Na-K glasses with those for other mixed-alkali glasses shows that the mixed-alkali peak is related to alkali mobility. It is concluded that the mechanism for mixed-alkali internal friction is a cooperative rearrangement of dissimilar alkali ions, with the slower moving ion controlling the rate of reorientation"--Abstract, page …

Electrolytic Reduction Of Zinc From Acidic Sulfate Solutions, Kenneth Dale Gielow
Masters Theses
"Cathode polarization curves were obtained for the electrodeposition of zinc from sulfate solutions with pH 2 and zinc concentrations of 10.0, 40.0, 80.0, and 100.0 gpl zinc. Both pure zinc and pure aluminum were used as cathodes with some difference in results noted. The effect of animal glue additions of 0.01, 0.10, and 0.50 gpl of solution on the cathodic polarization curves and the resulting deposit morphologies were determined. These glue additions correspond to 0.20, 2.0, and 10.0 pounds of glue per ton of zinc deposited, respectively. The slope of the Tafel region of the polarization curves was found to …

A Study Of The Void-Strengthening Of Aluminum And Its Nature, Purushottam G. Manusmare
Masters Theses
"Strengthening of aluminum by formation of the voids and the nature of resultant strengthening, viz., the temperature and the strain rate dependence of its yield strength were studied. Aluminum wires with 99.999% purity and of 3.1 mm diameter were quenched and heat treated to form voids of the approximate density 10¹³-10¹⁴ voids/cm³ and were tested for their yield strength. Voids in selected samples were observed by transmission electron microscopy using the Hitachi HU-11A microscope. The yield strength of the void strengthened samples was measured at various temperatures from 77ºK to 593ºK using two strain rates, 3.33 x 10⁻²/sec and 1.67 …

Evaporation And Condensation Of Zinc, Shailesh Bhanuprasad Vora
Masters Theses
"Evaporation rates of liquid zinc were determined experimentally within the temperature range of 450º C to 575º C and at argon pressures ranging from 730mm Hg to 130mm Hg. Extrapolated values of these rates are found to be consistent with the previously reported rates obtained by St. Clair and Spendlove at lower pressures. Between 100 microns and one atmosphere pressure rates of evaporation seem to vary according to an equation of the form W = APᴮ, where Pis pressure and, A and B are constants. Similar experiments were performed with brass powders in atmospheres of argon and helium at temperatures …
