The study of the process of phase formation of multicomponent pyrochlore (Bi2-хCr1/6Mn1/6Fe1/6Co1/6Ni1/6Cu1/6Ta2O9+Δ) in the course of solid-phase synthesis showed that the precursor of the pyrochlore phase is bismuth orthotantalate. Of all the precursors, cobalt and nickel oxides are the last to enter the chemical reaction (at 850-900 С). Intermediate phases in the course of synthesis are complex oxides Bi16CrO27, Bi25FeO40, BiTaO4, Bi3TaO7, СoTa2O6.

Experimental refinement of monophase state regions on the phase diagrams parts of FePt and CoPt alloys

Al-Nb composites demonstrate a considerable dependence of tensile strength on HPT straining which almost doubled upon the increase of torsional straining from 30 to 100 rotations of HPT anvil and reached 530 MPa. Annealing resulted in an increase in ductility up to ~12% with a slight decrease in tensile strength.

HPT at 6 GPa pressure in the range of 0-10 rotations of pre-quenched ingot of the commercial aluminum alloy 1965 resulted in consequential transformation of well-defined dense dislocation wall/cell structure to non-equilibrium nanofragmented one and near two-fold hardenning. The alloy strengthening and/or softening during further natural aging up to 500 hrs were within 10-15% and controlled by simultaneous decomposition of the aluminum solid solution and recovery of its deformation structure.

At room temperature the permittivity and dielectric loss tangent of Bi2-1/3Cr1/6Mn1/6Fe1/6Co1/6Ni1/6Cu1/6Ta2O9+Δ are ~46 and ~0.004 at 1 MHz, respectively.

The features and fracture mechanisms of reactor low-activation ferritic-martensitic steel EK-181 after high-temperature thermomechanical treatment and traditional heat treatment are revealed depending on the impact test temperature in the range from -186 to 100°C. The fracture appearance transition temperature is determined by a fractographic investigation.

As a result of cryogenic deformation of Ni to 90%, a coarse fibered structure with a developed nanocellular substructure and extremely low amounts of dynamically recrystallized nanosized grains was formed.

The influence of warm plastic deformation by rolling at 600 and 900 °C with a total strain of e = 2 on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the reactor austenitic steel EK-164 has been studied. The resulting fragmented banded microstructure with a well-developed substructure and fine grains provides high strength properties.

Modeling of the structure and electronic properties was carried out from the first principles for the polymorphic varieties of graphene with adsorbed hydroxyl groups (hydroxygraphene), where basic graphene layer structure consisted exclusively of 4-8 paired topological defects.

A new low-activation chromium-manganese austenitic steel for nuclear power engineering with an increased manganese content and additional alloying with strong carbide formers has been fabricated. The new steel has improved strength and ductility properties compared to known analogues.

Studies of the effect of the introduction of charged aluminum oxyhydroxide (AO) nanoparticles into calcium phosphate porous coatings formed by micro-arc oxidation on their electrical potential and structure are presented. An increase in the duration of ultrasonic dispersion of initial AlN powder suspension from 10 to 60 min and an increase in the surface roughness of the coatings, parameter Ra, from 3.5 to 5.5 µm led to an increase in the surface electrical potential from −85 to −35 mV.

The single-step (low-temperature) homogenization of the Al alloy 1570C, recommended by the alloy developers, did not lead to the complete removal of chemical heterogeneity arising during crystallization. An additional high-temperature annealing step resulted in some reduction in the alloy strength, but was effective in eliminating the chemical heterogeneity of the cast structure and increasing corrosion resistance while maintaining the grain size and dispersity and coherency of the nanosized Al3(Sc,Zr) dispersoids present in the alloy.

Better formability of the novel alloy is mainly due to the high content of the beta phase. Superplastic forming results in improvement of the microstructure homogeneity.

The synthesized material mainly consists of amorphous carbon with graphite crystallites, the maximum amount of which is formed during an arc discharge in nitrogen.

Thermal conductivity of diamond materials in transition from monocrystals to nanostructured nanodiamond composites declines two orders down due to the change in dominating factor that contributes to the thermal resistance – phonon scattering upon inner defects is changed by domination of phonon scattering at boundaries.
