Author:Bolokang, AS; Phasha, MJ; Motaung, DE; Bhero, SDate:2012Cold pressing (CP) of the amorphous-like Co powder suppressed most of the XRD peaks, in particular the peak along (100) plane. The DSC curve of unmilled CP Co powder has shown a distinct sharp exothermic peak at 615◦C. Upon annealing at 700◦C, ...Read more
Author:Phasha, MJ; Kasonde, M; Ngoepe, PEDate:Nov 2008The CSIR is exploring options of mixing titanuim with lighter metal elements such as magnesium and aluminium to help decrease energy consumption. Titanium and its alloys are very important materials from both technological and scientific point ...Read more
Author:Bolokang, AS; Phasha, MJ; Camagu, ST; Motaung, DE; Bhero, SDate:Mar 2012Stabilization of the metastable FCC phase has been achieved after 10 h milled Co powder sintering at 1400 °C. Phase identification of the Co powders was performed by the X-ray diffraction analysis, while the microstructural analyses were ...Read more
Author:Nxumalo, S; Chikwanda, HK; Machio, Christopher NDate:Dec 2009The high temperature ß-TiPt phase has been shown to undergo a martensitic transformation upon quenching to room temperature. The martensitic transformation results from a transformation of the parent B2 cubic structure to the martensitic B19 ...Read more
