Abstract Solute diffusion of Ag in polycrystalline γ-Fe-40 wt.% Ni alloy was studied by means of the radiotracer technique. For bulk and grain boundary diffusion, the following Arrhenius parameters were established: D v 0 = 1.2 × 10 − 3 m 2 / s $ D_v^0 = 1.2 \times {10^{ - 3}}{m^2}/s $ and Q v = 279 kJ/mol and P 0 = 8:1 ⨯ 10–14 m3/s and Q gb = 126 kJ/mol, respectively. The diffusion profiles reflect the very low Ag solid solubility which was estimated in the alloy via the specific activity of the applied 110mAg radiotracer.

The investigation of Fe-W alloys is growing in comparison to other W alloys with iron group metals due to the environmental and health issues linked to Ni and Co materials. The influence of Na2WO4 concentration in the range 0 to 0.5 M on bath chemistry and electrode reactions on Pt in Fe-W alloys’ electrodeposition from citrate electrolyte was investigated by means of rotating disk electrode (RDE) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) synchronized with electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM). Depending on species distribution, the formation of Fe-W alloys becomes thermodynamically possible at potentials less than −0.87 V to −0.82 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The decrease in electrode mass during cathodic current pass in the course of CV recording was detected by EQCM and explained. The overall electrode process involving Fe-W alloy formation may be described using formalities of mixed kinetics. The apparent values of kinetic and diffusion currents linearly depend on the concentration of Na2WO4. Based on the values of partial currents for Fe and W, it was concluded that codeposition of Fe-W alloy is occurring due to an autocatalytic reaction, likely via the formation of mixed adsorbed species containing Fe and W compounds or nucleation clusters containing both metals on the electrode surface.

Influence of Ti, V, Cr, Zr, and Mo additions on microstructure and mechanical properties of the Al91Mn7Fe2 quasicrystalline alloy produced by the melt spinning technique has been studied. It was found that the microstructure of obtained all ribbons was similar and consists of spherical or dendritic icosahedral quasicrystalline particles embedded in an aluminium matrix coexisting with small fraction of intermetallic phase. Comporing DSC curves obtained for each sample it was observed that the alloy with Mo addition exhibits the best thermal stability among prepared alloys. Addition of molybdenum caused a significant shift of the main exothermic peak corresponding to temperature of quasicrystalline phase decomposition from 450ºC for ternary alloy to about 550ºC for quaternary composition. Microhardness measured for all prepared alloys were similar with the mean value of about 200 HV only alloy with Zr addition exhibited higher microhardness of about 270 HV caused by strengthening effect of Zr localized in the grains of aluminium matrix.

Nanostructured anodic oxide layers on an FeAl3 intermetallic alloy were prepared by two-step anodization in 20 wt% H2SO4 at 0 °C. The voltage range was 10.0–22.5 V with a step of 2.5 V. The structural and morphological characterizations of the received anodic oxide layers were performed by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Therefore, the formed anodic oxide was found to be highly porous with a high surface area, as indicated by the FE-SEM studies. It has been shown that the morphology of fabricated nanoporous oxide layers is strongly affected by the anodization potential. The oxide growth rate first increased slowly (from 0.010 μm/s for 10 V to 0.02 μm/s for 15 V) and then very rapidly (from 0.04 μm/s for 17.5 V up to 0.13 μm/s for 22.5 V). The same trend was observed for the change in the oxide thickness. Moreover, for all investigated anodizing voltages, the structural features of the anodic oxide layers, such as the pore diameter and interpore distance, increased with increasing anodizing potential. The obtained anodic oxide layer was identified as a crystalline FeAl2O4, Fe2O3 and Al2O3 oxide mixture.
