Comparison of Al/Ni and Co/Ni Interdiffusion Coefficients in Pseudobinary Sections of Ni3Al-Co alloys
Gazda, Aleš ; Rothová, Věra ; Čermák, Jiří
Interdiffusion in Ni3Al intermetallic alloyed by 0 - 19 at % Co was studied in three pseudo-binary sections: c(Al) = 22, c(Co) = 3.5, and c(Co) = 16 (c in at. %). The experiments were carried out at temperatures between 900 and 1200°C. Since no detectable shift of tungsten inert markers was observed, it was concluded that the intrinsic diffusivities of element pairs with varying concentration (Al/Ni and Co/Ni) in respective pseudo-binary sections are approximately equal one to another. The interdiffusion in pseudo-binary alloys Al/Ni (c(Co) = const.) runs slightly faster than that in pseudo-binary alloys Ni/Co (c(Al) = const.). The relations between the measured interdiffusion coefficients in the Ni3Al-Co ordered gamma prime phase agree well with literature data for the interdiffusion coefficients in both pure gamma prime and Co alloyed gamma prime phases and also for the disordered Al-Ni and Co-Ni solid solutions. They are qualitatively explained by interaction between constituents and/or by their interaction with vacancies.

Diffusion of galium in polycrystalline Ni3Ga
Mareček, P. ; Fous, T. ; Čermák, Jiří
The diffusion of 67Ga radiotracer in polycrystals of Ni3Ga intermetallic was studied by residual activity method. Both volume- and grain boundary diffusivity was investigated and quantitatively described. Obtained diffusivites of Ga in Ni3Ga lattice show the increasing dependence on increasing Ga concentration.

Diffusion in Ni3Al-Co intermetallic
Gazda, A. ; Čermák, Jiří
Interdiffusion in Ni3Al intermetallic alloyed by 0-19 at %Co was studied in the temperature range 900-1200 C. An attempt was made, to analyze the interdiffusion coefficient into intrinsic diffusivities of individual components.Since no detecatble shift of inert markers was observed, it was concluded that the intrinsic diffusivities of Ni,Al and Co are aproximately equivalent one to another. The interdiffusion in pseudobinary alloys Al/Ni runs slightly faster than that in pseudobinary alloys Ni/Co. Measurements of 63Ni radiotracer in Ni3Al-Co was measured at 1000-1200 C by residual activity method. Enhanced Ni volume diffusivites observed at 1200C are most likely due to short-circuit diffusion along interphase boundaries in beta + gamma with comma field. The grain boundary diffusion of 63Ni was estimated at 1000C and 1100C. It was in a good agreement with our previous measurements made with pure Ni3Al.

Grain boundaries in Ni3Ga as paths of rapid diffusion
Čermák, Jiří ; Růžičková, Jana ; Konecny, M. ; Ipser, H.
Grain boundary diffusivity P (P is a triple product of diffusion coefficient in grain boundary D, grain boundary width .delta. and segregation coefficient s) of nickel was measured by serial sectioning and residual activity methods in temperature interval 973-1373 K. Measurements are compared with our previous results on Ni grain boundary diffusivity in Ni3Al. It was obtained that the values of P for nickel in Ni3Ga are slightly higher than those for nickel in Ni3Al. The observed relation between Ps was interpreted by different affinity of diffusing Ni to different components X in the two Ni3X alloys.

Degradation of protective effect of surface layer on Ni3Al-Cr in hydrogen environment
Čermák, Jiří ; Rothová, Věra
Protective effect of surface layer on Cr-doped (4 and 8 at. % Cr) Ni3Al intermetallic was studied by high-temperature hydrogen permeation tests that were carried out at temperatures in the interval 775-1223 K. Hydrogen with about 1 vol. ppm O2 and 2 vol. ppm of H2O was used for the gas-permeation tests. It was observed that the addition of Cr degrades the - otherwise very good - high-temperature protective ability of oxide-containing surface layer of Ni3Al-Cr at strongly reducing hydrogen environment.

Chemical composition of (310) [100] symmetrical tilt grain boundary in Ni3Al
Čermák, Jiří
Structure of . .SIGMA.5 (310) [100] symmetrical tilt grain boundary in ordered intermetallic alloy Ni3Al was constructed and relaxed by Monte Carlo method using pair L-J - type interatomic potential. Three modified grain boundary structures were tested. They differed in chemical composition and in relative grain boundary energy. The configuration with the lowest grain boundary energy was enriched on nickel.

Modification of transmissivity of hydrogen through the surface of Ni3Al by alloying
Čermák, Jiří ; Rothová, Věra
Hydrogen invasion into Ni3Al-M was studied by gas-permeation method in temperature range 573 - 1 223 K. The dependence of hydrogen permeation flux J(d) through the membrane-like samples on the samples thickness d enabled us to assess the influence of the surface upon the rate of permeation. The surface transmissivity was introduced as a quantitative characteristic describing the rate of the process. Influence of three modifying elements M = Fe, Cr and Zr was studied. It was found that Zr supports and, on the contrary, Cr eliminates the inhibiting effect of the surface. The iron did not alter significantly the hydrogen transmissivity, and it causes enhanced grain boundary brittleness in hydrogen environment.

Comparison of site preferences of 57Co at grain boundaries in Fe-Si and Fe-Al alloys
Schneeweiss, Oldřich ; Jirásková, Yvonna ; Čermák, Jiří ; Lejček, P.
Emission Moessbauer spectroscopy was applied to the study of grain boundaries in the polycrystalline samples of iron rich Fe-Al and Fe-Si alloys. The results obtained on Fe-Al samples indicate complicated phase and chemical composition along grain boundaries (GBs). Neither homogeneous increase in Al concentration at GBs nor important site preference of Co atoms is observed. A large fraction of Co atoms occupy positions of lower symmetry. The results on Fe-Si show differencies in the chemical composition in grain interiors (GIs) and at GBs. An increase in Si concentration at GBs is observed there. In Fe-! & at.%Si sample a strong site preference of cobalt atoms at GBs is detected. The diffusing Co atoms prefer the lattice sites, which are expected to be occupied by structural vacancies in the D03 superstructure.
