Even in simple experiments on uniaxial tension of filled elastomeric materials, an inhomogeneous strain field is observed in a standard dumbbell-shaped sample, not to mention experiments with complex loading history. The way out of this situation is to use samples of a different shape, for example, ring-shaped, rather than dumbbell-shaped samples.

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.

Thermoelectric materials are designed according to thermoelectric characteristics, which require good agreement with the Zeebeck coefficient, electronic conductivity, and thermal conductivity. This paper is presented the comparative data of thermal properties in five compounds of nanocrystalline copper sulfides KxCu1.85S (0<x <0.05) at the temperature zone from 300 K to 700 K. X-ray phase analysis shows a mixture different phases of copper sulfides such as Сu1.85S cubic phase, Cu2S cubic phase, Cu17S9 (Cu1.89S) rhombohedral phase, Cu2S tetragonal phase  in all investigated compounds at room temperature. The sizes of crystallites in the alloys estimated from half-width of X-ray lines are in range from 24 to 90 nm. The thermal conductivity of alloys decreases to 0.2 ÷ 0.6 W K-1m-1 in temperature range of 350 – 700 K due to increasing of the amount of potassium (for x = 0.04, 0.05). This guides the maximum thermoelectric characteristics of the material. The obtained results are important for semiconductor materials used in the field of thermoelectric devices.

It is shown that radial-shear rolling makes it possible to form a gradient structure in the 58Ni-Cr-Mo-B-Al-Cu superalloy billet.  In which the recrystallized grains size of the γ-phase in the radial direction from coarse-grained (34.1 ± 4.7 μm) in the center to ultrafine-grained (2.4 ± 1.7 μm ) in the surface layers of the billet cross-section. This leads to a gradient change in microhardness. The microhardness value is 3.3 GPa in the billet center, and the microhardness increases to 5.4 GPa in the peripheral near-surface zone.

Temperature dependencies of specific conductivity in the Arrhenius scale for CaCu3Ti4O12 samples of different thicknesses are linear and characterized by activation energy of 1.05 eV. Temperature dependencies of electric parameters of samples are at their minimums at T = 350 C, which can be explained by the changed polarization mechanism.

Many questions remain open in the understanding the role of microstructural factors in the acoustic emission (AE) phenomenon occurring in deforming materials. A comparative analysis of AE time parameters in tensile testing of pure aluminum, copper, silver and nickel specimens having very different values of stacking fault energy (SFE) was undertaken in the present work to clarify the SFE effect on the AE signal. Continuous digital wideband recording was used for AE waveform registration, which offers the possibility to avoid the threshold discriminators and to analyze a continuous AE signal generated during plastic deformation mediated by dislocation mechanisms. The power of the AE signal were selected as the descriptive parameters. Following the evolution of dislocation structures, the AE energy parameters were demonstrated to have a similar behavior in all investigated materials, i.e. the AE level increases sharply at the onset of plastic flow and then decays gradually during the uniform strain hardening stage. However, the absolute values of the AE amplitude and energy differ significantly depending on SFE. It was shown unambiguously that in contrast to expectations, the AE energy parameters reduce as the SFE value increases. This effect is discussed qualitatively in terms of the features of dislocation behavior, which are governed by the SFE value.
