Thermal Stability and Mechanical Behavior of Ultra-Fine Bcc Ta and v Coatings
Description:
Ultra-refined microstructures of both tantalum (Ta) and vanadium (V) are produced using electron-beam evaporation and magnetron sputtering deposition. The thermal stability of the micron-to-submicron grain size foils is examined to quantify the kinetics and activation energy of diffusion, as well as identify the temperature transition in dominant mechanism from grain boundary to lattice diffusion. The activation energies for boundary diffusion in Ta and V determined from grain growth are 0.3 an…
