Abstract:
During the last 20 years, ceramic fiber reinforced metal matrix composites, referred to as MMCs, have provided a relatively new way of strengthening metals. High specific modulus and a good fatigue resistance in dynamic loading conditions or for high temperature applications make these composites very attractive for replacing classic alloys. The first requirement for the fabrication of MMCs, especially by processes involving liquid metals, is a certain degree of wetting of fibers by the liquid metal which will permit a good bonding between the two phases.
The conventional experimental approach to wettability consists of measuring the contact angle of a drop of the liquid metal resting on flat substrate of the ceramic reinforcement materials.
This work deals with the fabrication of eutectic $ rm ZrO sb2/Al sb2O sb3 (ZA), ZrO sb2/Al sb2O sb3/TiO sb2$ (ZAT), and $ rm ZrO sb2/Al sb2O sb3/SiO sb2$ (ZAS) ceramic substrates and the study of their wetting behavior by different classes of Al alloys. Wetting experiments were performed under high vacuum or under ultra high purity Ar atmosphere. Four major variables were tested to study the wetting behavior of the different ceramic/metal systems. Variables include holding time, melt temperature, alloy and ceramic compositions.
Ceramic materials were sintered under vacuum at temperatures ranging from 1500$ sp circ$C to 1790$ sp circ$C for 2.5 hours, and achieved over 96% of the theoretical density. An experimental set-up was designed to measure in-situ contact angles using the sessile drop method. For any ceramic substrate, a temperature over 950$ sp circ$C was necessary to observe an equilibrium wetting angle less than 90$ sp circ$ with pure Al; by alloying the aluminum, wetting could be observed at lower temperatures ($ theta$ = 76-86$ sp circ$ at 900$ sp circ$C for Al-10wt%Si, $ theta sim72 sp circ$ at 850$ sp circ$C for Al-2.4wt%Mg). Finally, ZAS specimens reacted with molten Al alloys over 900$ sp circ$C to produce Zr-Al based intermetallics at the metal/ceramic interface.

Abstract:
La combustion de l'aluminium est un phénomène présent dans de nombreux domaines, tels que le domaine du spatial, de la défense et de l'automobile. Une fois allumée, une particule d'aluminium représente un excellent vecteur d'énergie pour l'écoulement environnant grâce à sa grande densité énergétique. Sa combustion avec l'air, ou avec d'autres oxydants, a fait l'objet de quelques études expérimentale et numérique, ce qui a mis en avant l'une des particularités de cette combustion diphasique. Lors de la combustion de l'aluminium, elle produit une espèce appelée alumine qui existe uniquement en phase liquide dans ses gaz brûlés. Cette particularité rend la modélisation de la combustion diphasique de l'aluminium complexe à modéliser. L'objectif de cette thèse est divisé en deux parties. La première partie est de développer un modèle de combustion diphasique de l'aluminium avec l'air. Cette modélisation est une simulation Euler- Lagrange réalisée avec AVBP, qui est un code de simulation mis en place par le CERFACS. Elle prend en compte la combustion rapide de l'aluminium en phase gazeuse et les changements de phase qui interviennent comme la fusion et l'évaporation de l'aluminium, mais aussi la condensation et la solidification de l'alumine. Une méthode de germination est développée pour permettre la condensation de l'alumine dans les gaz brûlés et suivre de façon lagrangienne sa croissance derrière la flamme aluminium-air. Cette modélisation nous a permis de simuler des flammes aluminium-air 1D et 2D pour les comparer aux données expérimentales trouvées dans la littérature. La seconde partie de cette thèse est l'analyse de la dispersion et de la participation énergétique de l'aluminium dans la post-combustion d'une charge explosive. Le phénomène de post-combustion est très lumineux et rapide, ce qui empêche expérimentalement de connaître l'évolution de l'état des particules d'aluminium contenues initialement dans la charge explosive. Ces simulations permettent de suivre la dispersion des particules et leurs interactions avec les différentes phases qui composent la post-combustion. Un modèle de combustion de particule isolée est repris de la littérature et adapté à notre cas d'étude. Ainsi l'influence de la présence physique des particules et de la chaleur dégagée par leur combustion a pu être évaluée sur l'évolution de la boule de feu et la propagation du choc secondaire. L'ensemble de ces travaux de thèse, que ce soit pour la modélisation de la flamme aluminium-air et l'analyse de l'impact de l'aluminium sur la post-combustion, a montré des résultats convaincants par rapport aux données de la littérature. Les modèles numériques utilisés et développés sont prometteurs pour des futures études sur la combustion de l’aluminium
The combustion of aluminum is a phenomenon present in many fields, such as the space, defense and automotive fields. Once ignited, an aluminum particle represents an excellent energy carrier for the surrounding flow with its high energy density. Its combustion with air, or with other oxidants, has been the subject of some experimental and numerical studies, which has highlighted one of the particularities of this two-phase combustion. During the aluminum combustion, it produces a species called alumina which exists only in the liquid phase in its burning gases. This particularity makes the modeling of the two-phase combustion of aluminum complex to model. The objective of this thesis is divided into two parts. The first part is to develop a model of two-phase combustion of aluminum with air. This modeling is an Euler-Lagrange simulation created with AVBP, which is a simulation code implemented by CERFACS. It takes into account the rapid combustion of aluminum in the gaseous phase and the phase changes that occur such as the melting and evaporation of aluminum, but also the condensation and solidification of alumina. A germination method is developed to allow the condensation of alumina in the burning gases and to follow its growth in a Lagrangian way behind the aluminum-air flame. This modeling allowed us to simulate 1D and 2D aluminum-air flames to compare them to the experimental data found in the literature. The second part of this thesis is the analysis of the dispersion and the energetic participation of aluminum in the post-combustion of an explosive charge. The phenomenon of post-combustion is very bright and rapid, which experimentally prevents knowing the evolution of the state of the aluminum particles initially contained in the explosive charge. These simulations make it possible to follow the dispersion of the particles and their interactions with the different phases that make up the post-combustion. An isolated particle combustion model is taken from the literature and adapted to our case study. Thus the influence of the physical presence of particles and of the heat released by their combustion could be evaluated on the evolution of the fireball and the propagation of the secondary shock. All of this thesis work, whether for the modeling of the aluminum-air flame and the analysis of the impact of aluminum on the post-combustion, showed convincing results compared to the data of the literature. The numerical models used and developed are promising for future studies on the combustion of aluminum

Resumo: Neste trabalho investiga-se a influência da microestrutura inicial e do material do molde na tixoconformação da liga A356. São produzidas e testadas em operações de tixoforjamento pastas obtidas por três distintos processos: fusão parcial controlada de estrutlJ'aS dendríticas grosseiras, fusão parcial controlada de estruturas ultra-refinadas e pastas obtidas por agitação mecânica do líquido durante solidificação. É produzido ainda um compósito A356 + Ab03 obtido por compofundição. Os tixoforjados foram submetidos à análise metalográfica para caracterização microestrutural, medindo-se a fração da fase primária e o tamanho médio de glóbulo ou roseta da fase sólida. Os resultados obtidos mostram a viabilidade da utilização de moldes não metálicos e operações de tixoconformação com produtos de bom acabamento superficial e dimensional. As forças de tixoforjamento são dependentes da condição inicial da matéria-prima, de forma que forças maiores são requeridas com o aumento do parâmetro microestrutural básico (espaçamento interdendrítico, tamanho de glóbulo e tamanho de roseta) da matéria-prima

Abstract:
Electrical resistivity and hardness measurements were conducted during isothermal aging treatments of an alumina particulate reinforced 6061 aluminum metal matrix composite and a monolithic 6061 aluminum control material. Transmission electron microscopy was utilized to examine the microstructural changes accompanying the changes in the resistivity of the monolithic during aging. In addition, differential scanning calorimetry was used to investigate the growth kinetics and thermal stability of the metastable phases in the control sample. From DSC experiments, the heats of formation of the metastable phases were determined as functions of aging time and temperature. These results were used to characterize the aging behavior of the matrix material. Keywords: Aluminum composite, Conductivity, Aluminum alloys. (jes)

Resumo: O crescente uso das ligas alumínio-silício fundido na indústria automotiva deve-se principalmente a redução de peso, consumo de combustível e níveis de emissões. Isto inclui a liga de alumínio-silício EN AlSi7Mg0,6, equivalente a liga ASTM A357.0, que é empregada em cabeçotes de motores Diesel. É importante conhecer o impacto na integridade e confiabilidade deste componente na presença de defeitos intrínsecos dos processos de fundição convencional como a de molde permanente. Tais defeitos, como porosidades e filmes de óxidos, quando localizados na superfície, ou próxima a esta, são nucleadores de trincas de fadiga. Neste estudo é analisado o impacto na resistência à fadiga e nos micromecanismos de fratura pelo ensaio de corpos-de-prova fresados com dimensões de 7x14x60mm, retirados do cabeçote da linha de produção e submetidos a ensaio de flexão em três pontos. As superfícies de fratura dos espécimes foram analisadas em microscópio eletrônico de varredura (MEV) a fim de caracterizar os micromecanismos de fratura e o local de iniciação da trinca de fadiga. A resistência à fadiga média, para 1 milhão de ciclos, foi determinada como sendo ao redor de 140MPa. Foi observado na superfície de fratura dos espécimes testados, um claro contraste entre o micromecanismo da zona de fadiga (estrias) e zona final de fratura (alvéolos), sendo que o fator predominante para nuclear trincas de fadiga foram poros próximos da superfície.
Abstract: The increase usage of casting aluminum-silicon alloys in the automotive industry is due to reduce weight, fuel consumption, and emissions level. This includes the aluminum-silicon cast alloy EN AlSiMg0.6 (ASTM A357.0) which is used to make Diesel engine cylinder head. It is important to know the impact on the integrity and reliability of this component in the presence of intrinsical defects of conventional casting parts produced on permanent mold process. Such defects, as porosity and oxide film, when locate on the surface or subsurface of casting parts, could be a fatigue crack initiators. In this paper is analyzed the impact on the fatigue strength and micromechanisms of fracture, by using 7x14x60mm specimens machined from cylinder head drew from production assembly line, and submitted to three point bending tests. Fracture surface of the specimens were observed by SEM to characterize the micromechanisms and the initiation fracture local. The average fatigue strength, based on 1 million of cycles, is about 140MPa. It was observed on the fracture surface of fatigue test specimens, a clear contrast between the micromechanisms of fatigue zone (striations) and the final fracture zone (dimples) and fatigue crack initiation occurs at the porosities near the surface.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar as características morfológicas da corrosão localizada na liga de alumínio 1050 e a cinética de crescimento em tamanho dos pites induzidos por ensaios de imersão estática em solução de NaCl, pH 6,0, aerada naturalmente à temperatura ambiente. As amostras foram examinadas antes e após o ensaio de corrosão por microscopia ótica e microscopia eletrônica de varredura e, posteriormente foram analisadas através de um método de captura, processamento digital e análise de imagens, recentemente desenvolvido pelo grupo de Corrosão e Eletroquímica da FEG/UNESP. Exames na superfície da liga após 168h de imersão em NaCl 0,0043 mol/L indicaram um ataque localizado na matriz adjacente às partículas Al:Fe:Si e Al:Fe as quais revelaram um caráter catódico. Mediante análise da variação temporal dos parâmetros obtidos concluiu-se que a área dos pites não muda significativamente enquanto a densidade e a fração de área corroída aumentam com o tempo. A variação temporal indicou que velocidade de corrosão, em termos de propagação superficial, diminui com o tempo de imersão. As características morfológicas e os tamanhos dos pites nos perfis da superfície corroída foram estudados. Os pites induzidos não podem ser representados por uma única geometria, senão pela distribuição morfológica seguinte: i) sem exclusão das cavidades: hemisférico > transição A > transição B > irregular > cônico > cilíndrico; ii) com exclusão das cavidades: hemisférico > transição A > transição B > irregular ~cônico, sem evidências dos pites cilíndricos. Os pites mais profundos foram encontrados especialmente na classe de transição B. A velocidade de crescimento em profundidade (P) ou em largura (L) dos pites foi melhor representada, após a exclusão das cavidades, mediante a lei cinética seguinte:...
This work aim has beem to study the morphologic characteristics of localized corrosion on aluminum alloy 1050 and the growth kinetics in size of pits induced by static immersion tests in NaCl solution, pH 6.0, naturally aerated at room temperature. The samples have been examined before and after the corrosion test by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy and subsequently analyzed by a capturing method, digital processing and image analysis, recently developed by the Corrosion and Electrochemistry group of FEG / UNESP. Investigations on the alloy surface after 168h immersion in NaCl 0.0043 mol / L has showed a localized attack on the matrix adjacent to the particles Al: Fe: Si and Al: Fe which have disclosed a cathodic character. By analyzing the temporal variation of obtained parameters it has been concluded that pits area does not change significantly while density and corroded area fraction increase with the time. Temporal variation has indicated that corrosion rate in terms of propagating surface, decreases with immersion time. The morphological characteristics and pits sizes in the corroded surface profiles have been studied. The induced pits may not be represented by a unique geometry, but by the following morphologic distribution: i) without cavities exclusion: hemispheric > transition A > transition B > irregular > conical > cylindrical ii) excluding cavities: hemispheric > transition A > transition B > irregular ~ conical, without cylindrical pits evidence. The deepest pits have been found particularly in transition B class. The pits growth rate in depth (P) or in width (L) has been better represented, after cavities exclusion, by the following kinetics law: P or L = ktm, with k and m empirical values that depend on a combination of different factors

Abstract:
A method for the preparation of submicron, monodispersed, spherical particles of aluminum hydrous oxide has been developed. The method consists of the hydrolysis of aluminum acetylacetonate in alcoholic solution by the direct addition of a base at room temperature. The effects of the process parameters including temperature, solvent, type and concentration of base, aluminum acetylacetonate concentration, and stirring time are examined as well as the process reproducibility, particle composition and particle stability. Results obtained have shown that monodispersed particles can be formed with a mean particle diameter of eighty five to two hundred and fifteen nanometers and the mean size is reproducible to within ten percent of the mean diameter. Particles that are redispersed in fresh solvent are stable for at least thirty days. A model is proposed which explains the kinetics of particle growth and the influence of experimental parameters such as temperature, pH, concentration and the solvent on the formation of particles.

Investigation into the effect on superplastic behavior of two aluminum alloys produced by variations of thermomechanical processing parameters was conducted. The alloys in this study are Al-10Mg-0.1Zr (weight percent) and 2090, which is Al-2.56Cu-2.03Li-0.12Zr (weight percent). Determination of the existence of an optimum balance between deformation and recovery for the Al-10Mg-0.1Zr alloy was accomplished by extending the annealing interval to 60 minutes during warm rolling at 300 C. The optimum balance is a 30 minute annealing interval between rolling passes. Processing of Al-10Mg-0.1Zr with a rolling temperature lower than the annealing temperature produced ductilities which are less than those obtained by utilization of the optimum process. The extension of annealing intervals in the processing of 2090 resulted in increased superplastic response when compared with results obtained employing shorter annealing intervals. By application of a two-temperature process which incorporates rolling at a lower temperature than the annealing temperature, the determination has been made that enhanced ductility results however, the annealing interval of 14 minutes should be extended.

Abstract:
An innovative method has been developed for synthesizing aluminum-aluminum nitride nanocomposite materials wherein the reinforcing nano-sized aluminum nitride particles are formed in-situ in a molten aluminum alloy. This method, which circumvents most issues associated with the traditional ways of making nanocomposites, involves reacting a nitrogen-bearing gas with a specially designed molten aluminum alloy. The method ensures excellent dispersion of the nanoparticles in the matrix alloy, which is reflected in enhanced mechanical properties. In this thesis, the author reviews the limitations of the conventional methods of manufacturing nanocomposites and develops thermodynamic and kinetic models that allow optimizing the in-situ gas-liquid process to produce quality nanocomposite material. Also, in this thesis, the author reports the measured room temperature and elevated temperature tensile properties of materials that were made by the optimized process and compares the measured values to their counterparts obtained for the base alloy. A 75 pct. increase in room temperature yield strength is obtained when the base alloy is reinforced with one pct. nano-size aluminum nitride particles and this significant increase in yield strength is accompanied by only negligible loss of ductility.

Abstract:
The focus of this research was to quantify the post-fire mechanical properties of 5083-H116 and 6082-T6 aluminum alloys. Post-fire exposure is considered heating the material to a particular temperature then cooling the material back to room temperature. The research included evaluating parent materials as well as welded samples. Post-fire mechanical properties of parent materials were evaluated at temperatures ranging from ambient to 500oC with isothermal and transient heating. Changes in material properties were evaluated through static tensile tests and hardness testing on cooled samples. Using this data, an assessment was performed to investigate the relationship between hardness and mechanical properties. For the alloys evaluated, empirical relationships were found between Vickers hardness and post-fire strength. Testing was also performed on butt welded samples of 6082-T6 exposed isothermally to temperatures ranging from ambient to 500oC. Vickers hardness profiles were measured across a sample to quantify the hardness of the weld, heat affected zone, and parent material. This was performed at room temperature and following different heat exposures. Static tensile tests were used to evaluate the effect of reheating on the welded samples. Post-fire strength of welded samples was strongly affected by weld geometry. Parent material hardness varied with reheating while weld hardness remained constant. At select temperatures, this resulted in the weld having a higher Vickers hardness than the parent material. Despite this tensile failure always occurred within the weld.

Filmes finos de alumina vêm sendo amplamente estudados em função de suas propriedades físicas e químicas. Em aplicações industriais, filmes de alumina são utilizados, por exemplo, em ferramentas de corte e em circuitos microeletrônicos. Neste trabalho empregou-se o processo de PECVD (do inglês, Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) para sintetizar fimes contendo óxido de alumínio. Os filmes foram depositados a partir de plasmas excitados por radiofrequencia (13,56 MHz) em misturas de acetilacetonato de alumínio e argônio. Uma configuração experimental inédita foi empregada para permitir a incorporação de alumínio nos filmes: o pó do organometálico foi colocado diretamente no eletrodo por onde um plasma de argônio foi excitado. A pulverização catódica aliada a sublimação do organometálico faz com que haja, em determinadas condições, a deposição de filmes contendo alumina. Foram avaliados os efeitos da pressão do plasma e da potência do sinal de excitação nas propriedades dos filmes resultantes. A técnica de perfilometria foi utilizada para determinar a espessura da camada depositada. Difração de raios X (DRX), com a incidência de ângulos rasantes, foi empregada para investigar a estrutura do material. As técnicas de espectroscopia de absorção no infravermelho por transformada de Fourier (FTIR) e espectroscopia de energia dispersiva (EDS) foram respectivamente utilizadas para analisar a estrutura e a composição química dos filmes. A morfologia das amostras preparadas sobre aço-inoxidável foi analisada por microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) enquanto a dureza foi avaliada por nanoindentação. Foram obtidos filmes amorfos com espessuras de até 7 μm que contêm carbono, alumínio, oxigênio e hidrogênio. Observou-se que as proporções de alumínio e carbono são altamente dependentes da energia cinética dos íons presentes no plasma...
Recently aluminium oxide thin films have been widely studied due to their important physical and chemical properties. Depositions in cutting tools and in microelectronic circuits are examples of industrial applications of industrial applications of aluminum oxide films. In this work, alumina-containing films were prepared by PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) using a new configuration of the plasma system; the metalorganic powder was placed directly on the powered electrode while the substrates were mounted on the grounded topmost electrode. The plasma was excited by applying radiofrequency (13.56 MHz) power to the lower electrode in an argon atmosphere. The sputtering combined with the sublimation of organometallic compound enabled the growth of an alumina-containing organic layer. The effect of the plasma excitation parameters on the properties of the resulting films was studied. Film thickness was measured using profilometry. Grazing angle incidence X-ray diffractometry (GAXRD) was used to determine the structure of the films. Fourier trasnform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) techniques were used to analyze chemical structure and coposition, respectively. The surface morphology was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) while film hardness was evaluated by nanoindentation Amorphous organic films were deposited with thicknesses of up to 7 μm. The films were composed of aluminum, carbon, oxygen and hydrogen, the proportions of carbon and aluminum being strongly dependent on the kinetic energy of the ions. The film surface was uniform but presented particulares and, in some cases, wrinkles. The proportion of such defects depends on the plasma excitation parameters

The new development of a low cost, low risk aluminum fuel production method has extended the viable use cases of aluminum as a fuel. Scrap aluminum has the potential to provide fuel in disaster relief zones when infrastructure is ruined and scrap metal is abundant. Additionally, converting scrap aluminum to fuel can provide an alternate option to traditional recycling methods. The following paper presents various methods used to process and treat scrap aluminum and the resulting efficacy of these methods. Four different fuel production methods are presented. Parameters such as method of reforming scrap aluminum, percent mass eutectic in fuel, eutectic coating time, and pretreatment of aluminum cans are varied. The various methods achieved a wide range of efficiencies with the best being 57%.

A liga AA 356 é uma liga de alumínio de grande importância porque é amplamente utilizada na indústria automobilistica e aeronáutica. Para melhorar as propriedades mecânicas dessa liga, são usados inoculantes para o refino de grãos; essas propriedades, apresentadas pelo produto final, dependem também das condições em que o metal foi fundido e solidificado. Os componentes solidificados em molde de metal, com uma taxa de extração de calor maior, têm propriedades mecânicas superiores àqueles solidificados em moldes de areia, que têm uma taxa de extração de calor mais baixa. A curva de resfriamento é usada como uma ferramenta para avaliar a eficácia de refino de grão e, é influenciada por fatores como o material do molde, a taxa de resfriamento e adições de inoculantes para refino de grão. Com o uso da curva de resfriamento, algumas propriedades da liga podem ser obtidas, tais como: o calor latente de solidificação, a fração sólida, as temperaturas liquidus e solidus, o tempo local de solidificação, além de identificar a presença de inoculantes para o refino de grão. A primeira derivada da curva melhora a precisão das informações apresentadas na curva de resfriamento. Essa derivada representa a taxa de resfriamento. Para o desenvolvimento desse trabalho alguns lingotes foram refundidos variando-se o material do molde e, consequentemente, a taxa de resfriamento; adicionando-se ou não inoculante para o refino de grão na forma de liga mãe Al-5Ti-1B, na proporção de 0,05%. As curvas de resfriamento para as solidificações foram plotadas e analisadas. Confirmou-se que a curva de resfriamento com sua primeira derivada fornecem, além das temperaturas solidus e liquidus, as temperaturas de transformações de fases e informações sobre a eficácia do refino de grão.

The AA 356 alloy is an aluminum alloy of great importance because it is widely used in the automobile and aeronautic industries. To improve the mechanical properties of this alloy, inoculants are used for grain refinement; these properties, presented by the final product, also depend on conditions, under which the metal was melted and solidified. The components solidified in a metal mold, with a higher heat extraction rate, have mechanical properties superior to the ones solidified in sand molds that have a lower heat extraction rate. The cooling curve is used as a tool to evaluate the effectiveness of grain refinement and it is influenced by factors as: mold material, cooling rate and of inoculants additions for grain refinement. With the use of the cooling curve analysis can be obtained some properties of the alloy, such as: the latent heat of solidification, the solid fraction, the solidus and liquidus temperatures, the local time of solidification. In addition, to evaluate the presence of inoculants for grain refinement. The first curve derivative improves the accuracy of the information given in the cooling curve. That derivative represents the cooling rate. For this work development, some ingots were remelted varying the mold material and, consequently, the cooling rate; also added or not the grain refinement inoculants in the form of master alloy Al-5Ti-1B, at the rate of 0.05%. Cooling curves for solidifications were plotted and analyzed. It was confirmed that the cooling curve with its first derivative provides, in addition to the liquidus and solidus temperatures, the phase transformation temperatures and information about the effectiveness of grain refinement.

Abstract:
Aluminum based reactive nanomaterials have extensive applications in many fields including solid propellants, pyrotechnics, and catalytic reactions. One recent example is the novel concept of using nanostructured energetic particles for energy storage where the controlled exothermic reaction is the key to control the energy release process. It is of primary interest to understand the thermodynamics, kinetics, morphological and structural properties of these particles during the exothermic reaction. While the physiochemical properties of the monometallic powders are determined only by their size, the properties of bimetallic nanoalloys can be also engineered by their constituent compositions. This thesis conducts a systematic experimental investigation of the oxidation, ignition, and combustion of nano aluminum particles (nAl) and nanoalloys such as nanoscale aluminium-copper (n-AlCu) and aluminium-zinc (n-AlZn). The oxidation experiments are conducted by a TGA/DSC system with detailed characterisation of particles before and after the experiments by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the Nanosizer, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and powder X-ray diffractionmetry (XRD). In the TGA/DSC analysis, nanomaterials are oxidized either at constant temperature or under different heating rates in the controlled atmosphere of air or nitrogen. A unique early ignition reaction is observed at the high heating rates for nAl and n-AlCu, which is associated with the effect of polymorphic phase transformation of the alumina shell and the early melting of the aluminum core. Different to the conventional shrink-core concept, hollow structures, i.e. nanoholes, in the central regions of nAl are observed and a phenomenal model is proposed. The comparison of the thermal-chemical characteristics of different nanomaterials reveals some unique 5 features related to nano-alloys such as increased reactivity. A preliminary combustion experiment on feeding nanoparticles in a methane stream is performed with a Bunsen burner setup, where the burning characteristics of different nanoparticles are analysed.

Abstract:
The aluminum oxide growth rate for aluminum protected with 2.4 nm of aluminum fluoride has been determined. We show that a 2.4 nm aluminum fluoride layer does not prevent aluminum from oxidation but does significantly retard the oxide growth – decreasing the oxide layer thickness from 1 nm in less than an hour to 0.9 nm over 116 hours. Additionally, the optical constants for aluminum oxide growing under an aluminum fluoride barrier layer have been determined – showing an increase in absorption at high energies for Al2O3 forming at room temperature as compared to highly ordered Al2O3 formed at high temperatures.
