For reducing the porosity of single crystal (SX) nickel-based superalloys, Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) is used. High pressures of about 100-170 MPa lead to local deformation, which close the pores. However, since HIP also requires high temperatures (1000-1200°C) it has a pronounced effect on the microstructure and the local distribution of elements. This contribution analyses the effect of different HIP treatments on both the microstructure and the segregation of the SX superalloy LEK94 in the as-precipitation-hardened state. In addition, the effects of rapid or slow cooling are analyzed. To distinguish the effect of pressure from those of temperature, the HIPed samples are compared with specimens annealed at atmospheric pressure.

A new approach based on the bond-valence matching relation is developed to predict the detailed structural evolution of GdFeO3-type perovskites at high pressure from knowledge of the room-pressure structure and the high-pressure unit-cell parameters alone. The evolution of perovskite structures estimated in this way is in good agreement with the structure refinements available from high-pressure single-crystal diffraction measurements of a number of perovskites. The method is then extended to predict the structure of MgSiO3 perovskite at pressures for which no single-crystal structural data are available and the results are compared to ab initio quantum calculations of MgSiO3 perovskite up to 120 GPa.

The evolution of microstructures of 10- to 100-Å diameter particles of Rh and Pt on SiO2 and Al2O3 following treatment in reducing, oxidizing, and reacting conditions have been characterized by TEM. We are able to transfer particles repeatedly between microscope and a reactor furnace so that the structural evolution of single particles can be examined following treatments in gases at atmospheric pressure. We are especially interested in the role of Ce additives on noble metals such as Pt and Rh. These systems are crucial in the automotive catalytic converter, and rare earths can significantly modify catalytic properties in many reactions. In particular, we are concerned with the oxidation state of Ce and its role in formation of mixed oxides with metals or with the support. For this we employ EELS in TEM, a technique uniquely suited to detect chemical shifts with ∼30Å resolution.

<p class="1Body">MgO films were epitaxially grown on single crystal MgO substrates by atmospheric-pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Reciprocal lattice mappings and X-ray reflection pole figures were used to evaluate the crystal quality of the synthesized films and their epitaxial relation to their respective substrates. The X-ray diffraction profiles indicated that the substrates were oriented out-of-plane during MgO crystal growth. Subsequent pole figure measurements showed how all the MgO films retained the substrate in-plane orientations by expressing the same pole arrangements. The reciprocal lattice mappings indicated that the whisker film showed a relatively strong streak while the continuous film showed a weak one. Hence, highly crystalline epitaxial MgO thin films were synthesized on single crystal MgO substrates by atmospheric-pressure CVD.</p>

The phase field method has been applied to simulate the microstructural evolution of a commercial single crystal Ni-based superalloy during both, HIP and annealing treatments. The effects of applying high isostatic pressure on the microstructural evolution, which mainly retards the diffusion of the alloying elements causing the loss of the orientational coherency between the phases is demonstrated by the simulation and experimental results

ABSTRACTSiGe alloys have recently been of interest for fabrication of heterojunction bipolar transistors using pre-existing or modified silicon-processing technology. These devices are faster than devices using pure silicon. Because of the interest in developing SiGe device structures, various elements of processing relevant to fabrication of the devices are being investigated. One such element has been the use of thermal oxidation for isolation of SiGe devices. Utilization of the technique requires an understanding of oxidation behavior of SiGe layers under a variety of oxidation conditions. Past studies in the literature have investigated the oxidation of SiGe at atmospheric pressure or at very high pressures (∼650–1300 atmospheres). The present study investigates the wet-oxidation of SiGe structures at intermediate pressures (∼25 atmospheres) and temperatures (∼750°C). Unlike atmospheric oxidation, most of the Ge (from SiGe) remains in the oxidized silicon (SiO2) in the form of GeO2. Occasional segregation of Ge to the oxidizing interface is noted. The microstructural behavior of partially and entirely oxidized structures is presented.
