Continuing Innovation in Zirconium Explosion Clad Manufacturing (.pdf)
Zirconium clad plates provide the excellent corrosion resistance of zirconium combined with the high mechanical properties and easy fabrication of steel base metal. Explosion cladding (also, known as explosive welding) has been proven to be a reliable process for manufacture of zirconium clad...

Tantalum, Niobium and Zirconium as Corrosion Resistant Materials (.pdf)
Tantalum, niobium and zirconium are known as refactory metals because their melting points are greater than that of platinum, 1750 C. The high melting point combined with excellent corrosion resistance leads to widespread usage as crucibles in the production of special alloys. As well as the useful...

Titanium & Zirconium Rammed Graphite Castings for Industrial Applications (.pdf)
This paper describes the production of rammed graphite titanium and zirconium castings. This process is similar to the sand casting process used to cast many common iron base alloys. Issues such as mold preparation, melting, processing, properties, markets and applications are addressed....

Alloy Steel
Steels that contain specified amounts of alloying elements -- other than carbon and the commonly accepted amounts of manganese, copper, silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus -- are known as alloy steels. Alloying elements are added to change mechanical or physical properties. A steel is considered...

Titanium
Depending on the predominant phase or phases in their microstructure, titanium alloys are categorized as alpha, alpha-beta, and beta. This natural grouping not only reflects basic titanium production metallurgy, but it also indicates general properties peculiar to each type. The alpha phase in pure...

Processing of HDDR Permanent Magnet Powder
magnet. Effect of Zirconium Additions. Some boron-rich (with respect to the Nd2Fe14B composition) NdFeB alloys (with and without small additions of zirconium) have been investigated in an attempt to understand the influence of zirconium in the subsequent magnetic properties of HDDR hot pressed magnets...

Advanced Twin Characterization using OIM (.pdf)
Twin boundaries have unique properties relative to other types of boundaries. Some of these properties increase the strength and inhibit stress corrosion cracking of the material. Others improve electrical properties of the material. Consequently, it is important to accurately reveal twins and take...
