Application of analytical electron microscopy to the study of intergranular corrosion in 304 stainless steel

Description: The technique of analytical electron microscopy in a scanning transmission electron microscope fitted with an energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer is used to measure the chromium depletion in sensitized 304 stainless steel along the grain boundaries. It is shown that such measurements could be misleading unless care is taken to properly choose the regions on the grain boundaries for such analysis.

Transmission electron microscopy of undermined passive films on stainless steel

Description: A study has been made of the passive film remaining over pits on stainless steel using a high resolution transmission electron microscope. Type 305 stainless steel was passivated in a borate buffer solution and pitted in ferric chloride. Passive films formed at 0.2 V relative to a saturated calomel electrode were found to be amorphous. Films formed at higher potentials showed only broad diffraction rings. The passive film was found to cover a remnant lacy structure formed over pits passivated a… more

Transverse stress effect on the critical current of internal tin and bronze process Nb{sub 3}Sn superconductors

Description: The effect of transverse stress on the critical current density, J{sub c}, has been shown to be significant in bronze process Nb{sub 3}Sn, with the onset of significant degradation at about 50 Mpa. In an applied field of 10 T, the magnitude of the effect is about seven times larger for transverse stress than for axial tensile stress. In a subsequent study, similar results were observed in another bronze process Nb{sub 3}Sn conductor made by a different manufacturer. The mechanism accounting for… more
