High-pressure ultrasonic study of vibrational anharmonicity in bcc Cu-Al-Be alloys

To quantify the vibrational anharmonicity of the long-wavelength acoustic modes of bcc Cu74.1Al23.1Be2.8 near its martensitic transition temperature Ms (261 K), the hydrostatic pressure derivatives (¿CIJ/¿P)P=0 of the elastic stiffness moduli have been measured. The Grüneisen parameters at 268 K (just above Ms), especially of longitudinal modes, which become smaller than those of the shear modes, are quite different from those at 295 K: the anharmonicity changes markedly in the vicinity of the transition. Similar trends are noted for Cu66.5Al12.7Zn20.8. Experimental data near Ms are used to estimate cubic invariants in the strain order parameters in a Landau formalism.

Lattice-dynamical study of the premartensitic state of the Cu-Al-Be alloys

Neutron-scattering techniques have been used to study the premartensitic state of a family of Cu-Al-Be alloys, which transform from the bcc phase to an 18R martensitic structure. We find that the phonon modes of the TA2[110] branch have very low energies with anomalous temperature dependence. A slight anomaly at q=2/3 was observed; this anomaly, however, does not change significantly with temperature. No elastic peaks, related to the martensite structure, were found in the premartensitic state of these alloys. The results are compared with measurements, performed under the same instrumental conditions, on two Cu-Al-Ni and a Cu-Zn-Al martensitic alloy.

Elastic constants of bcc Cu-Al-Ni alloys

We have measured the adiabatic elastic constants of two Cu-Al-Ni martensitic alloys using ultrasonic methods and we have compared the results to recent neutron-scattering experiments. It is shown that the elastic behavior of Cu-Al-Ni alloys follows the same trends exhibited by other Cu-based alloys; in particular, the TA2 long-wavelength acoustic modes are softer than all other modes.

Disorder-induced critical phenomena in magnetically glassy Cu-Al-Mn alloys

Measurements of magnetic hysteresis loops in Cu-Al-Mn alloys of different Mn content at low temperatures are presented. The loops are smooth and continuous above a certain temperature, but exhibit a magnetization discontinuity below that temperature. Scaling analysis suggest that this system displays a disorder-induced phase transition line. Measurements allow one to determine the critical exponents ß=0.03±0.01 and ß¿=0.4±0.1, which coincide with those reported recently in a different system, thus supporting the existence of universality for disorder-induced critical points.

Effect of magnesium addition on the vacancy-Mg binding free enthalpy in Al-Cr alloys

The Mg-vacancy binding free enthalpy of Al-Cr solid solution alloys with Mg addition was calculated by electrical resistivity measurements. The obtained value is lower than that obtained for dilute Al-Mg alloys with almost the same Mg content and may be attributed to the diffusion of Mg.

Influence of the Al content on the phase transformations in Cu-Al-Ag alloys

The influence of the Al content on the phase transformations in Cu-Al-Ag alloys was studied by classical differential thermal analysis (DTA), optical microscopy (OM) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The results indicated that the increase in the Al content and the presence of Ag decrease the rate of the b1 phase decomposition reaction and contribute for the raise of this transition temperature, thus decreasing the stability range of the perlitic phase resulted from the b1 decomposition reaction.
