Microstructural evolution in the transient-liquid-phase bonding area of IN-738LC/BNi-3/IN-738LC

Abstract
Transient-liquid-phase (TLP) bonding of the IN-738LC base alloy with BNi-3 interlayer was investigated in this article. Effects of the TLP bonding thermal cycle on the base alloy were studied microstructurally and macrostructurally. Microscopic investigation revealed that the microstructural evolution in the TLP bonding area was affected substantially by the bonding temperature. Therefore, a critical bonding temperature (Tcr) was defined for TLP bonding of IN-738LC/ BNi-3/IN-738LC samples. Unlike bonding below Tcr, TLP bonding at temperatures higher than Tcr resulted in formation of individual γ-γ' colonies in the adjacent base alloy to TLP bonding zone and caused significant reduction in...
Determining an optimum catalyst for liquid-phase dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether

Abstract
The liquid-phase dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether was investigated over various materials including synthetic zeolites, namely, ZSM-5, Y, Mordenite, Ferrierite and Beta as well as silica and alumina. The key characters investigated were the Si/Al ratio and cation exchange. The results showed that the Mordenite zeolite exchanged with H+ exhibited the highest activity in dehydration of methanol. After finding the most active catalyst, the Mordenite zeolite was modified with Cu, Zn, Ni, Al, Zr, Mg and Na via wet-impregnation method to further improve its selectivity, and characterized by AAS, XRD, NH3-TPD, NH3-FT-IR and BET surface area techniques. It was found that these materials...
Microstructure-properties relationship of TLP-bonded GTD-111 nickel-base superalloy

Abstract
Relationship between microstructure and mechanical properties of transient liquid phase-bonded joints of GTD-111 nickel-base superalloy using a Ni-Si-B interlayer was investigated. Shear strength and hardness profile of the joints were discussed with respect to the bond microstructure. In the bonding condition, in which isothermal solidification has not been accomplished completely, eutectic constituent which has the highest hardness in the bond region is the preferential failure source. Additionally, it was found that when isothermal solidification is completed, the extent of γ′ formation in the bond region is the controlling factor for joint strength. Shear strength of bonds after...

Abstract
W-20 wt.% Cu powder mixture was mechanically alloyed by high-energy ball milling for various times and the effect of mechanical alloying (MA) on the sintering response of the composite compacts was investigated. The densification, microstructure, hardness and electrical conductivity after solid phase sintering (SPS) and liquid phase sintering (LPS) were examined. It was shown that the microstructure of mechanically alloyed powder profoundly influence the sintering response, i.e. a meaningful relationship between the sintering kinetics and the milling time was observed. It is suggested that MA disintegrates the W-W particle networks and increases the contribution of solid phase sintering...
