Morphology and Structure of Brass-Invar Weld Interface after Explosive Welding.

This paper presents the results of a study of the morphology and structure at the weld interface in a brass-Invar bimetal, which belongs to the class of so-called thermostatic bimetals, or thermobimetals. The structure of the brass-Invar weld interface was analyzed using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), with the use of energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectrometry and back-scattered electron diffraction (BSE) to identify the phases. The distribution of the crystallographic orientation of the grains at the weld interface was obtained using an e-Flash HR electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD) detector and a forward-scatter detector (FSD).

Synthesis of NiAl Intermetallic Compound under Shock-Wave Extrusion.

This paper presents the implementation of the first stage of a study on the synthesis of the intermetallic compound in the Ni-Al system under shock-wave extrusion (SWE). A method was developed and experiments involving SWE of the reactive Ni-Al powder mixture were carried out. As a result, it was possible to obtain up to 56 vol.

Structure and variability of spinning reaction waves in three-dimensional excitable media.

A mathematical simulation for a reaction wave that propagates in a cylindrical sample is performed. The propagation modes that have not yet been observed experimentally are predicted. The areas of existence for these modes have been determined.
