Eletrorrevestimento de substratos metálicos com tântalo em meio de fluoretos fundidos; caracterização física e eletroquímica dos revestimentos / Electro-coating of metal substrates with tantalum amid molten fluorides; Physical and electrochemical characterization of coatingsDenise Villela Barcza Stockler Pinto 14 August 1998 (has links)
O estudo do eletrorrevestimento de tântalo sobre aço e sobre cobre foi realizado na mistura eutética FLINAK (29,2% LiF - 11,7% NaF - 59,1% KF - % em massa) contendo 15% em massa de K2TaF7. Foram estudadas as influências da densidade de corrente catódica, do tempo de eletrólise, da temperatura e da natureza do substrato sobre as eficiências de correntes catódicas e a morfologia dos revestúnentos. Depósitos de tântalo lisos, brilhantes, aderentes e uniformes foram obtidos com alta eficiência de corrente catódica usando os seguintes parâmetros: densidade de corrente catódica de 23 mA/cm2 a 50 mA/cm2, temperatura de 750°C e tempo de eletrólise de 30 minutos a 120 minutos. Os revestimentos obtidos nestas condições possuem espessuras de 18 µm a 41 µm. Os depósitos de tântalo sobre aço e sobre cobre são constituídos de tântalo puro, sem formação de camada de difusão. Ensaios de eletrodeposição de camadas delgadas de tântalo em catodos de formas e geometrias complexas mostraram o bom poder de cobertura do tântalo. Curvas potencial de circuito aberto x tempo, feitas à temperatura ambiente em soluções de ácido nítrico a 40%, a 50% e a 60% em massa, ácido clorídrico a 3,6% em massa e ácido sulfúrico a 80% em massa, mostraram ótima concordância entre o potencial de circuito aberto estacionário do tântalo maciço comercial e dos revestimentos de tântalo sobre cobre nestes meios. Curvas potencial de circuito aberto x tempo feitas à temperatura ambiente em meio de ácido clorídrico a 3,6% em massa, para revestimentos sobre aço mostraram que a semelhança com o tântalo maciço só é observada em depósitos recentes, o que foi atribuído à difusão do ferro do substrato para a superficie do revestimento. Ensaios gravimétricos mostraram que a velocidade de corrosão dos revestimentos é comparável com a do tântalo comercial, em meios de ácido nítrico a 40% e a 50% em massa, à temperatura de ebulição. / The study of tantalum electroplating on copper and carbon steel has been carried out in FLINAK eutectic (29.2% LiF -11.7% NaF -59.1% KF - wt%) containing 15wt% K2TaF7. The effects of current cathodic density, time of electrolysis, temperature and substrate kind have been studied in relation to the cathodic current efficiencies and the coating morphology. Tantalum deposits, with good smoothness, brightness, adherence and uniformity were obtained with high cathodic efficiency, using the following conditions: 23 mA/cm2 to 50 mA/cm2 cathodic current densities, 30 minutes to 120 minutes electrolysis time interval and 750°C temperature. Under these conditions the coatings are about 18 µm to 41 µm thick. The deposits obtained on carbon steel and copper are both constituted of pure tantalum without formation of interdiffusion layer. The results of tantalum thin coatings electrodeposition on cathodes of complex geometrics and shapes showed the good throwing power of tantalum. Open circuit potential x time curves have been recorded for massive tantalum and for tantalum coatings on copper in 40 wt%, 50 wt% and 60 wt% nitric acid, 3.6 wt% hydrochloric acid and 80 wt% sulfurie acid at room temperature. They showed similar stationary open-circuit poteutial values for both the massive tantalum and the tantalum coatings. Open circuit potential x time curves for tantalum coatings on carbon steel performed in 3.6%wt hydrochloric acid at room temperature showed that the similarity with massive tantalum exists only with recent deposits, because of iron diffusion from substrate to coating surface. Gravimetric tests showed comparable corrosion rate values for massive tantalum and tantalum coatings in boiling 40wt% and 50wt% nitric acid.

Influence de l’oxydation des particules de poudres de tantale sur les propriétés des dépôts cold spray / Influence of tantalum powder particle oxidation on cold spray coating propertiesDescurninges, Laure-Line 03 December 2013 (has links)
Le cold spray, procédé qui consiste en la projection de particules de poudre à haute vitesse sur un substrat solide, permet de réaliser des dépôts denses de tantale sur substrat de cuivre. Tout au long de la projection, les particules restent à l'état solide ce qui prévient toute pollution ou modification chimique indésirable comme l'oxydation. Le risque d'altération de la composition chimique est ainsi reporté sur d'autres étapes telles l'obtention des matériaux ou la conservation des poudres. Le tantale est particulièrement sensible à la présence d'oxygène et peut ainsi voir sa dureté augmenter même pour des très faibles taux. Cette étude s'intéresse donc aux conséquences d'une augmentation du taux d'oxygène dans les particules avant projection sur la qualité (adhérence, cohésion) du dépôt. Pour cela, des particules de poudres ont été enrichies en oxygène puis ont été analysés suivant différentes méthodes (DRX, microsonde de Castaing, MET, XPS, nanoindentation, …) afin de déterminer le type d'oxydation et le comportement mécanique des particules oxydés. Ensuite, la phénoménologie des particules à l'impact a été étudiée via l'observation de particules isolées adhérant au substrat après impact (splats), d'une part, et des dépôts, d'autre part. Les techniques d'analyses et les procédés utilisés pour caractériser leur déformation et leur adhérence sont le MEB, le MET, l'EBSD, un essai de rayure modifié, la structuration laser et un essai d'adhérence et de cohésion par choc laser (LASAT®). Enfin, une simulation numérique de la construction de dépôt a été réalisée selon les lois ensemblistes établies par la morphologie mathématique. L'influence de l'oxydation des poudres est représentée dans ce modèle via l'introduction du rebond des particules. / Cold gas dynamic process, namely Cold Spray, can be used to achieve fully-dense tantalum coatings onto a copper substrate due to spraying of powder particles at a high velocity. During spraying, the particles stay at the solid state, which prevents pollution and detrimental chemical modification such as oxidation. The risk for chemical damage therefore moves to other processing stages, primarily raw material production and powder storage. Tantalum is very sensitive to oxygen (for example, hardness increases even for low oxygen contents). In the present work, the consequences of the particle oxygen degree on coating quality are studied. Oxidized powder particles were analyzed using different methods (XRD, EPMA, TEM, XPS, nanoindentation, …) to characterize oxidation and particle mechanical properties. Particle impact phenomenology is studied from observation of splats, i.e. single deposited particles, and coatings. Analysis techniques and processes to describe splat deformation and adhesion are SEM, TEM, EBSD, modified scratch testing, laser structuring and LAser Shock Adhesion Test (LASAT®). In a final part, numerical simulation of coating build-up was developed using a mathematical morphology approach. Particle oxidation is involved in this simulation through the particle rebound phenomenon.

High Temperature Oxidation Study of Tantalum Carbide-Hafnium Carbide Solid Solutions Synthesized by Spark Plasma SinteringZhang, Cheng 18 October 2016 (has links)
Tantalum carbide (TaC) and hafnium carbide (HfC) possess extremely high melting points, around 3900 oC, which are the highest among the known materials. TaC and HfC exhibit superior oxidation resistance under oxygen deficient and rich environments, respectively. A versatile material can be expected by forming solid solutions of TaC and HfC. However, the synthesis of fully dense solid solution carbide is a challenge due to their intrinsic covalent bonding which makes sintering challenging.
The aim of the present work is to synthesize full dense TaC-HfC solid solutions by spark plasma sintering with five compositions: pure HfC, HfC-20 vol.% TaC (T20H80), HfC- 50 vol.% TaC (T50H50), HfC- 80 vol.% TaC (T80H20), and pure TaC. To evaluate the oxidation behavior of the solid solutions carbides in an environment that simulates the various applications, an oxygen rich, plasma assisted flow experiment was developed. While exposed to the plasma flow, samples were exposed to a temperature of approximately 2800 oC with a gas flow speed greater than 300 m/s. Density measurements confirm near full density was achieved for all compositions, with the highest density measured in the HfC-contained samples, all consolidated without sintering aids. Confirmation of solid solution was completed using x-ray diffraction, which had an excellent match with the theoretical values computed using Vegard’s Law, which confirmed the formation of the solid solutions. The solid solution samples showed much improved oxidation resistance compared to the pure carbide samples, and the T50H50 samples exhibited the best oxidation resistance of all samples. The thickness of the oxide scales in T50H50 was reduced more than 90% compared to the pure TaC samples, and more than 85% compared to the pure HfC samples after 5 min oxidation tests. A new Ta2Hf6O17 phase was found to be responsible for the improved oxidation performance. Additionally, the structure of HfO2 scaffold filled with molten Ta2O5 was also beneficial to the oxidation resistance by limiting the availability of oxygen.

Extraction and separation of tantalum and niobium from Mozambican tantalite by solvent extraction in the ammonium bifluoride-octanol systemKabangu Mpinga, John 06 June 2013 (has links)
The principal aim of this research was to determine the optimum conditions of extraction and separation of niobium and tantalum with octanol as solvent, from Mozambican tantalite using ammonium bifluoride as an alternative to hydrofluoric acid. The extraction of niobium and tantalum from tantalite can be divided into three activities, viz., acid treatment of the ore to bring the niobium and tantalum values into solution, separation of niobium and tantalum by solvent extraction and preparation of pure niobium pentoxide and tantalum pentoxide by precipitation followed by calcination. An initial solution was prepared by melting a mixture of tantalite and ammonium bifluoride followed by leaching of the soluble component with water and separation of the solution by filtration. The solution filtered was successfully used after adjustment of the acidity for the extraction and separation of niobium and tantalum. After liquid-liquid extraction highly pure niobium pentoxide and tantalum pentoxide were obtained through precipitation with ammonium hydroxide and calcination. Comparative experiments were performed modifying the following variables: decomposition temperature; decomposition time of the digestion of niobium and tantalum; acid concentration of feed solution; solvent agent; and stripping agent. From the experimental results it was determined that the decomposition temperature, decomposition time of the digestion of niobium and tantalum, the acidity of the feed solution, the solvent agent, and stripping agent, all have an important effect on the extraction and separation of tantalum and niobium. The optimal conditions were determined to be: tantalite-to-ammonium bifluoride 1:30; decomposition temperature 250°C; decomposition time 3 hours; and a water leach period of 10 minutes. Under these conditions the leach recovery of niobium and tantalum was about 95.07% and 98.52%, respectively. For nearly complete extraction of tantalum and niobium with 2-octanol, two and three equilibrium stages, respectively, are required. The equilibrium data were obtained at an aqueous-to-organic ratio (A/O) of 1:1 using: 100% 2 octanol; 6 M H2SO4; 10 minutes contact time at room temperature for tantalum; and 100% 2 octanol, 9 M H2SO4, 10 minutes contact time at room temperature for niobium. Different stripping agents were used and water seems to give good result for both. For the nearly complete stripping process four equilibrium stages are required. From the results obtained an optimum stripping efficiency is achieved after 15 minutes for a 1:1 ratio. Niobium and tantalum were then neutralized using 28% ammonium hydroxide. The precipitate obtained was dried and placed in a muffle furnace for 4 hours at 900°C. After calcinations, pure tantalum pentoxide and niobium pentoxide were obtained and characterized using XRD and SEM. Tantalum pentoxide and niobium pentoxide synthesized contain trace impurities such as iron and titanium which can be removed by incorporating an appropriate intermediate treatment. / Dissertation (MSc)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Chemical Engineering / unrestricted

Elektroforetické stanovení tantalu v recyklátech chladicích kapalin / Electrophoretic Determination of Tantalum in Recycled CoolantsGogulin, Semen January 2021 (has links)
This master thesis deals with the development of electrophoretic methods for determination of tantalum in recycled coolants used in the production of tantalum capacitors, as well as the separation of tantalum from chemically similar niobium. Developed methods are based on the formation of negatively charged complexes of tantalum and niobium with a number of ligands added to the separation electrolyte, especially tartaric and citric acid and 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol. The separations were performed in a fused silica capillary of the inner diameter of 50 µm and the effective length of 36.5 cm, a negative voltage of -25 kV was applied to the capillary. Using a separation electrolyte containing 0.1 mol·l-1 of tartaric and citric acid at pH = 2, separation of niobium and tantalum was achieved in less than 3 minutes; the absorption spectrometric detection was carried out in the ultraviolet region at a wavelength of 200 nm, the detection limit was 2.8 ppm of tantalum, and the quantification limit was 9.2 ppm of tantalum. Addition of 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol reduced the detection limit to 0.8 ppm of tantalum and the quantification limit to 2.6 ppm of tantalum; the electrolyte contained 0.1 mmol·l-1 of 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol, 10 mmol·l-1 of tartaric acid, 10 mmol·l-1 of citric acid, and 25 mmol·l-1...

Directional correlation of the 346-136 keV gamma-gamma cascade in Ta¹⁸¹Wilson, Robert Allan 01 May 1969 (has links)
The directional correlation of the 346-136 Kev gamma-gamma cascade in Ta¹⁸¹ was measured using the delayed coincidence method with a source of Hf¹⁸¹ in 27 N HF. The contributions to the composite delayed coincidence spectrum of the interfering 133-482 Kev and 133 - 346 Kev cascades were removed by the subtraction from this spectrum of appropriate 133-482 Kev pure delayed coincidence data. The extracted 346 -136 Kev coincidence data then yielded the correlation coefficients A₂₂ = o.190 土0.011 and A₄₄. = -0.025 土O. 024 that are consistent with the established spin sequence 5/ 2(E2)9 / 2(Ml +E2)7 / 2 and with an admixture of 16.20/0土1. 2% E2 radiation in the 136 Kev mixed transition. The results of the experiment are in excellent agreement with those obtained from conversion electron measurements and resolve the discrepancy apparent in earlier work on the 346-136 Kev cascade

Characterization of Dislocation - Grain Boundary Interactions Through Electron Backscatter DiffractionHansen, Landon Thomas 01 August 2019 (has links)
Further understanding of dislocation-GB interactions is critical to increasing the performance of polycrystalline metals. The research contained within this dissertation aims to further dislocation-GB interaction understanding through three research studies. First, the effect of noise in EBSPs on GND calculations was evaluated in order to improve dislocation characterization via HR-EBSD. Second, the evolution of GNDs and their effects on back stress was studied through experimental and computational methods applied to tantalum oligo specimens. Third, statistical analysis was used to evaluate grain parameters and current GB transmission parameters on their correlation with dislocation accumulation.
