Utilization of plasma spraying for production of nanocrystalline ceramic materials
Chráska, Tomáš
The technique of plasma spraying is now being investigated as an apt candidate for production of nanocrystalline materials.In the conventional plasma spraying (PS) process,powder particles injected into a high temperature plasma jet are quickly melted and propelled onto a substrate where they spread upon impact and rapidly solidify.Due to the rapid solidification, the conventional PS.

Preparation and properties of nanocomposites based on Zr-Fe
Roupcová, Pavla ; Schneeweiss, Oldřich ; Bezdička, Petr
The spark erosion of the pure Zr and Fe electrodes in hydrogen yielded nanocrystalline powder consisting of the mixture of Zr-rich (Zr3FeH7, ZrO2, and Zr(Fe)) and Fe-rich phases with the mean chemical composition Zr-3.2wt.%Fe. Heat treatment in hydrogen atmosphere at 973K induced phase decomposition and transitions with the final composition of bcc Fe, Zr3Fe, ZrH2 and dominating ZrO2 phases. The result indicates that formation of Fe-rich phase (bcc Fe) embedded in ZrO2 could be possible using an appropriate heat treatment of the as-prepared powder.

Preparation and properties of MgO-Ni(Fe) nanocrystalline composite
Schneeweiss, Oldřich ; Pizúrová, Naděžda ; Jirásková, Yvonna ; Žák, Tomáš ; Bezdička, Petr ; Večerníková, Eva
We have prepared MgO-Ni(Fe) nanocrystalline composites by controlled heat treatment of compacted spark synthesized nanocrystalline powders. Besides particle sizes and their chemical compositions, influence of interaction with surrounding atmosphere and adsorbed gases on phase composition and magnetic properties were investigated. Mössbauer spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction and TEM were used for phase analysis. Thermomagnetic curves and DTA/TG measurements were applied for detection of changes in structure and phase composition during heat treatments. The simultaneous gas analysis using mass spectroscopy by heating yielded information on adsorbed and dissolved gases and their reactions with the nanoparticles.
