Abbreviated Series Title What determines the morphology of a decomposing alloy? Besides the well established effect of the nucleation barrier, we demonstrate that, in a concentrated multi-component Ni(Al,Cr) alloy, the details of the diffusion mechanism affect strongly the kinetic pathway of precipitation. Our argument is based on the combined use of atomic-scale observations, employing 3-dimensional atom-probe tomography (3-D APT), lattice kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, and the theory of diffusion. By an optimized choice of thermodynamic and kinetic parameters we first reproduce the 3-D APT observations, in particular the early stage transient occurrence of coagulated precipitates. We then modify the kinetic correlations among the atomic fluxes in the simulation, without altering the thermodynamic driving force for phase separation, by changing the vacancy-solute interactions, resulting in a suppression of coagulation. Such changes can only be quantitatively accounted for with nonzero values for the off-diagonal terms of the Onsager matrix, at variance with classical models.

Tang, Fengzai; Gault, Baptiste; Ringer, Simon P.; Martin, Phil; Bendavid, Avi; Cairney, Julie M. Microstructural investigation of Ti-Si-N hard coatings Journal Article 2010 Scripta Materialia 63 2 192-195 Titanium silicon nitride; Pulsed laser atom probe (PLAP); Nanostructure; Nanocomposite The microstructures of nanostructured Ti-Si-N hard coatings were investigated by transmission electron microscopy and pulsed laser atom probe. C and O impurities were detected. No evidence of increased Si levels at the grain boundaries was found, suggesting that Si is either in the form of a layer too thin to be detected using the techniques employed or in the form of a solid solution of SiN clusters. 1359-6462 no NU @ karnesky @ 10856

Antepara, I.; Villarreal, I.; Rodriguez-Martinez, L.M.; Lecanda, N.; Castro, U.; Laresgoiti, A Evaluation of ferritic steels for use as interconnects and porous metal supports in IT-SOFCs Journal Article 2005 Journal of Power Sources 151 103-107 SOFC; ferritic stainless steel; oxidation; ASR As a way of reducing the production costs of stacks by replacing ceramic components with metal components with a similar thermal expansion coefficient (TEC), today, much of the research work has focused on SOFCs operating at temperatures of under 800 degrees C. Some semi-commercial ferritic stainless steels (FSS) satisfy this TEC. Ikerlan has evaluated samples of two of these. Also, AMETEK stainless steel powders were tested in sintered disks until they were completely densified in order to compare results from dense and porous materials. The first tests performed by Ikerlan were conducted with dense samples and included the oxidation test in air at 800 degrees C and measurements of contact surface electrical resistance (area specific resistance, ASR), to compare electrochemical techniques (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, EIS) with the traditional four-wire method and indirect measuring of the resistance through current and voltage measurements. An alloy from the last melt manufactured by the company ThyssenKrupp VDM GmbH performed best. These results did not differ greatly from the previous laboratory results attained during alloy development. Only AMETEK powder metallurgy materials were tested as porous bodies, to compare these with these dense materials. and were found to provide much higher oxidation levels, as might be expected. While dense materials can operate under the working conditions of the SOFC, porous materials still need new alloys. no NU @ karnesky @ 497

Very fine precipitates (lnm) with a well ordered structure (Ni3 Al) were observed in the early stages of growth At this stage, their composition was found very close to the equilibrium composition of the y' phase. Coarsening of y' precipitates was observed in the early stages, for particle radius under 2 nm Monte Carlo simulations of kinetics based on a atom-vacancy exchanges mechanism and using a residence time algorithm were also conducted. Experiments and simulations have shown a good agreement. Monte carlo simulations indicate that short range ordering of both Al and Cr precedes the nucleation and Ni3AI ordered phase.

Load-dependent high temperature tribological properties of silver tantalate coatings Journal Article 2014 Surface and Coatings Technology 244 37-44 Friction; Tribology; Silver tantalate; Molecular dynamics; Sputtering Abstract Silver tantalate coatings were produced by reactive unbalanced magnetron sputtering from silver and tantalum sources as potential high temperature solid lubricants. The films were wear-tested at 750 °C under normal loads of 1, 2, 5, or 10 N against a Si3N4 counterface. These sliding tests revealed that the friction monotonically increased as the load was increased. A systematic investigation of the surface and sub-surface regions of the wear track, using techniques such as Scanning Auger Nanoprobe, Atom Probe Tomography, and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, revealed the following trends with increasing load: (1) a decrease in the amount of Ag on the surface of the wear track; (2) a decrease in the thickness of the mechanically mixed layer that forms as a result of the reconstruction of AgTaO3 to form Ta2O5 and Ag; and (3) the formation of a porous structure throughout the tribofilm as a result of the segregation and migration of Ag from the original AgTaO3 matrix. These results were complemented by molecular dynamics simulations, which confirmed the increase of friction with load. Further, the simulations support the hypothesis that this trend can be explained in terms of decreased presence of Ag clusters near the sliding surface and the associated decreased porosity. 0257-8972 no NU @ karnesky @ 11490

Mao, Zugang; Sudbrack, Chantal K.; Yoon, Kevin E.; Martin, Georges; Seidman, David N. Impact of vacancy diffusion on the early decomposition stages of alloys Journal Article 2005 Nature To be submitted 36 The kinetic pathway for nucleation and growth is commonly thought to be dictated by the initial supersaturation of solutes in the solid solution undergoing phase separation. We demonstrate that the details of the diffusion mechanism, in the solid solution affect deeply the early stage morphologies of precipitates. Our argument is based on a combined use of atomic-scale observations, with atom-probe tomography (APT) and lattice kinetic Monte Carlo simulation of a Ni(Al,Cr) alloy. By an optimized choice of thermodynamic and kinetic parameters we first reproduce the experimental APT observations. We then modify only the long-range vacancy-solute binding energy, without altering the thermodynamic driving force for phase separation, thereby demonstrating that the microstructural evolution changes from a coagulation to an evaporation-condensation coalescence mechanism. The changes can only be accounted for with nonzero values for the vacancychemical potential and off-diagonal terms of the Onsager matrix, at variance with classical models. no NU @ karnesky @ 163
