The use of macroscopic modelling of intermetallic phases in aluminium alloys in the study of ferricyanide accelerated chromate conversion coatings

Chromate conversion coatings are used on aluminium alloys, primarily for their renowned corrosion resistant properties. Although these coatings are in common industrial use, neither the protection mechanisms, nor the coating interation with the intermetallic precipitation phases are fully understood. Macroscopic models have been developed in order to represent the galvanic cells present in aluminium alloys due to the presence of such intermetallic particles. Particles modelled include CuAl₂, FeAl₃ and Cu₂FeAl₇, all know to be cathodic to the aluminium matrix. Variations in deposition, both in composition and thickness, are indicative of the mechanisms of deposition over each phase. Characterisation of the coating deposition was carried out using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy with X-ray analysis. Depositional characteristics have been determined for each phase. The coating on the intermetallic phases is primarily Al oxide, and is significantly thinner than the coating on the matrix. This coating on the matrix consists mainly of a mixed Cr/Al oxide. The coating on the intermetallic phases was only one tenth the thickness of the matrix coating, and contained higher levels of Fe, Al and O. Matrix coating chemistry predominated with Cr, O, Fe and N, indicative of a chromate conversion coating. The mechanism for reduced rates of deposition over intermetallic phases was found to be affected by fluorine ion attack leading to intermetallic de-alloying and decomposition of Fe(CN)₆²⁻ accelerator into amide groups on the matrix.     

The effects of a trace addition of silver upon elevated temperature ageing of an Al–Zn–Mg alloy

Microalloying additions of Ag (0.1 at.%) increase the hardening response of Al–Zn–Mg alloys to elevated temperature ageing in the range 100–200°C due to the formation of a high density of very fine η′ precipitate plates. The present study employed transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and three-dimension atom probe (3DAP) to study the early stages of ageing in the alloy Al–1.8Zn–3.4Mg–0.1Ag (at.%) in an attempt to identify the role of Ag in stimulating precipitation hardening. During isothermal ageing at 90°C, the hardening response is attributed to a high density of Zn–Mg–Ag rich solute clusters and GP zones. During ageing at 150°C, η′ precipitates nucleate at Zn–Mg–Ag rich solute clusters, the former growing as {111} platelets with an average composition of approximately 20 at.% Zn, 20 at.% Mg and 1.4 at.% Ag. The 3DAP data indicates that the co-segregation of Zn and Ag and subsequently Zn and Mg atoms precedes the formation of the Zn–Mg–Ag rich solute clusters. The GP zones and η′ precipitates were observed to possess a Zn:Mg ratio close to 1:1, whereas the equilibrium η precipitates possessed compositions consistent with MgZn₂. Furthermore, partitioning of Ag was observed inside all precipitate phases, viz. G.P. zones, η′ and η.     

Magnetism of Fe,Co, and Ni nanowires encapsulated in carbon nanotubes

We have investigated the electronic and magnetic properties of Fe, Co, and Ni nanowires encapsulated in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) using spin polarized ab initio calculation. The incorporated systems with hollow region between the nanowire and the C shell have the enhanced magnetic moments compared to the ferromagnetic nanowires tightly wrapped by CNTs. The Co nanowire encapsulated in CNTs is a strong ferromagnet and has high spin polarization regardless of the distance between the nanowire and the C shell. The results show that the Co-filled CNTs are useful for spin polarized transport nanodevice.

The K<Superscript>-</Superscript>α scattering length and the reaction dd↦αK<Superscript>+</Superscript>K<Superscript>-</Superscript>

We present predictions for the K^-α scattering length obtained within the framework of the multiple-scattering approach. Evaluating the pole position of the K^-α scattering amplitude within the zero-range approximation, we find a loosely bound K^-α state with a binding energy of E_R = - 2,..., - 7 MeV and a width Γ_R = 11,..., 18 MeV. We propose to measure the K^-α scattering length through the final-state interaction between the α and K^--meson produced in the reaction dd↦αK⁺K^-. It is found that the K^-α invariant-mass distribution from this reaction at energies near the threshold provides a new tool to determine the s-wave K^-α scattering length.
