Glass Formation In A (Ti,Zr,Hf)-(Cu,Ni,Ag)-Al High-Order Alloy System By Mechanical Alloying, L C. Zhang, Z Q. Shen, Jian Xu Jan 2003

Glass Formation In A (Ti,Zr,Hf)-(Cu,Ni,Ag)-Al High-Order Alloy System By Mechanical Alloying, L C. Zhang, Z Q. Shen, Jian Xu

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

In this work, glass formation under high-energy ball milling was investigated for a (Ti0.33Zr0.33Hf0.33)50(Ni0.33Cu0.33Ag0.33)40Al10 high-order alloy system with equiatomic substitution for early and late transition-metal contents. For comparison, an amorphous alloy ribbon with the same composition was prepared using the melt-spinning method as well. Structural features of the samples were characterized using x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. Mechanical alloying resulted in a glassy alloy similar to that obtained by melt spinning. However, the glass formation was incomplete, and a …


New Generation Coatings For High Speed Cutting Tools, Devi P. Saini, M Ali Jan 2003

New Generation Coatings For High Speed Cutting Tools, Devi P. Saini, M Ali

Faculty of Engineering - Papers (Archive)

CVD coatings have been traditionally used for enhancing the life of cemented carbide tools in machining operations. Due to several inherent advantages over CVD coatings, more recently the PVD coatings have been employed on cutting tools for improvement of their wear resistance and performance in machining operations. Significant variability in the tool life and performance of PVD coated tools has, however, been observed by several researchers. Such variability in tool life, which is a big hindrance in successful automation as well as planning of machining operations, is considered to result from a combination of factors including poor adhesion between substrate …


High-Resolution Hi Observations Of The Western Magellanic Bridge, E Muller, L Staveley-Smith, William Zealey, S Stanimirovic Jan 2003

High-Resolution Hi Observations Of The Western Magellanic Bridge, E Muller, L Staveley-Smith, William Zealey, S Stanimirovic

The 21-cm line emission from a 7 × 6 deg2 region east of and adjoining the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) has been observed with the Australia Telescope Compact Array and the Parkes telescopes. This region represents the westernmost part of the Magellanic Bridge, a gas-rich tail extending ∼14° to the Large Magellanic Cloud. A rich and complex neutral hydrogen (H i) structure containing shells, bubbles and filaments is revealed. On the larger scale, the H i of the Bridge is organized into two velocity components. This bimodality, which appears to originate in the SMC, converges to a single velocity …
