Fracture Toughening Of High Pressure Sintered Diamond And Carbide Ceramics, P. D. Ownby
Fracture Toughening Of High Pressure Sintered Diamond And Carbide Ceramics, P. D. Ownby
Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
High pressure sintered bodies of polycrystalline diamond or carbide ceramics are rendered more resistant to cracking by establishing dispersed, localized "stress centers" of submicron size particles of lonsdaleite, diamond, or other form of metastable, high density carbon which has the capability of transforming crystallographically to graphite in situ in the body. When an incipient crack in the body approaches entrapped metastable particles along its path, the crack promotes or permits transformation of the metastable particles to graphite particles, with concomitant increase in their size, thereby resisting further propagation of the crack.

Recent Applications Of Glass Science, Norbert J. Kreidl
Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Recent, often exciting, applications of glass science include solid state batteries, electronic switches and memories, electrophotography, solar cells, microspheres for optical strengthening and medical uses, novel glass ceramics such as machinable and bioactive materials, solder glasses, composites, sol-gel glasses, gradient index optics, communication fibers, sensors, non-linear and active optics, and, perhaps, digital optics. The large field of special coatings is not covered in this review. © 1990.
Electrochemical Evaluation Of Copper Deposition With Gas Sparging, D. A. Uceda, Thomas J. O'Keefe
Electrochemical Evaluation Of Copper Deposition With Gas Sparging, D. A. Uceda, Thomas J. O'Keefe
Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
The influence of gas sparging during copper electrolysis was studied using standard electrochemical techniques. The polarization behavior of acid copper electrolytes was determined in the presence and absence of gas sparging on vertical electrodes. Tracer ion techniques were employed to determine the effect of gas sparging and forced circulation of the electrolyte on the mass transfer characteristics of the system. In addition to the potentiodynamic scans, 3-h copper deposits were produced for morphology and orientation studies. The effect of current density and temperature on deposition were also studied. The polarization experiments have shown that a mass transfer component becomes evident …

The presence of excessive lead in zinc sulfate electrolytes can lead to problems related to both processing efficiency and the properties of the metal produced. For example, poor adhesion can occur in electrogalvanized steel when it is heated in the temperature range of 215 °C to 280 °C if lead is present in the deposit. The duration of heating necessary to induce the peeling of the zinc was found to be dependent on the temperature, time, and concentration of lead in the electrolyte and the plating parameters. The presence of lead slowed the formation of the intermetallic, and the peeling …

Ceramic polymer piezoelectric composites with 1-3 connectivity have become an important tool in the design and manufacture of thickness-mode transducers for medical diagnostic ultrasonic imaging. The authors compare annular array transducers made from ceramics alone to those made with these composites to demonstrate the advantages of composites. They examine some of the trade-offs involved in optimizing composite designs for this application. The effects of varying Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio of the polymer phase on the coupling coefficient and high-frequency lateral resonances of the composite are presented

The electrodeposition of copper from a fluosilicate electrolyte has been investigated by electrochemical techniques, x-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The diffusion coefficient of cupric ion in a fluosilicate solution has been determined with the aid of a rotating disk electrode using the mixed control Levich equation. Gold (Au+3) was used as a tracer to evaluate the mass transport properties of the system. The polarization behavior of the electrolyte was measured in the presence and absence of gas sparging on a vertical stationary electrode to study the effect of the mass transport contribution. Sound copper deposits were obtained …

This study deals with the electrochemical production of thin (35 μm) copper films on anodized titanium substrates. The formation of a microporous oxide layer on the titanium electrodes greatly enhances the surface density of copper nuclei during a potentiostatic experiment so that a complete coverage of the cathode surfaces may be obtained after short term (20 s) polarization. Moreover, the oxide film may act as a parting agent and the copper films may be easily stripped from their substrates. The higher the pore density of the oxide film, the higher the surface density of nuclei and the easier the foil's …

Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity measurements were performed for undoped and Sr-doped LaMnO3 as a function of temperature and oxygen partial pressure. The results of electrical conductivity showed typical p-type behavior. As reduction proceeded, the electrical conductivity of these LaMnO3-based perovskites decreased with P 1 4O2. The analysis of the electrical conductivity data was performed by extending the defect model from a previous thermogravimetric (TG) study. The measured Seebeck coefficients were found to be positive except for the most reducing conditions when the decomposition into multiple phases occurred. The Heikes formula was adopted to interpret …
