摘要:
A superplastic aluminum-based alloy material consisting of a matrix formed of aluminum or a supersaturated aluminum solid solution, whose average crystal grain size is 0.005 to 1 .mu.m, and particles made of a stable or metastable phase of various intermetallic compounds formed of the main alloying element (i.e., the matrix element) and the other alloying elements and/or of various intermetallic compounds formed of the other alloying elements and distributed evenly in the matrix, the particles having a mean particle size of 0.001 to 0.1 .mu.m. The superplastic aluminum-based alloy material is produced from a rapidly solidified material consisting of an amorphous phase, a microcrystalline phase or a mixed phase thereof by optionally heat treating the material at a prescribed temperature for a prescribed period of time and then subjecting it to a single or combined thermomechanical treatment. The superplastic aluminum-based alloy material of the present invention is suited for superplastic working.

The present invention provides a process comprising the steps of forming a cast amorphous alloy from an alloy which exhibits glass transition behavior, heating the amorphous alloy to a temperature between Tg and Tx while subjecting the alloy to drawing to obtain a wire and cooling the wire to (Tg-50 K) or lower. By this process, it is possible to produce an amorphous alloy wire at a low cost and provide an ultrafine wire having high strength and high corrosion resistance as well as flexibility. The amorphous alloy wire can be utilized as a reinforcing wire for a composite material, a variety of reinforcing members, a woven fabric and the like.

A process for producing an amorphous alloy forming material having at least 50% by volume of an amorphous phase which comprises a first-stage treatment in which an amorphous alloy is maintained in a temperature range below the glass transition temperature, a second-stage treatment in which the alloy is maintained in a temperature range in the supercooled liquid region for a prescribed period of time, and quenching of the alloy thus treated. The process improves the embrittlement peculiar to amorphous alloys subjected to thermal hysteresis for a long time and provides amorphous alloys having excellent strength, ductility and thermal plastic workability.

Ni-Cr type allow materials comprising 10 to 50 atom % of Cr, 5 to 25 atom % of Al and/or Si, and the balance to make up 100 atom % of substantially pure Ni, excelling in cold workability, and exhibiting high electric resistance.These alloy materials possess very high electric resistance and small electrical resistance temperature coefficients over a wide temperature range from room temperature to elevated temperatures, and have excellent cold workability, mechanical properties, durability, ability to resist oxidation, corrosion, and fatigue as well as strain gauge sensitivity. The alloys are very useful as industrial materials of varying types including electrical resistors, precision resistors, and electrically heating wires used at elevated temperatures and bracing materials, reinforcing materials, and corrosionproofed materials used at elevated temperatures.

Disclosed herein is a process for forming an amorphous alloy material capable of showing glass transition, which comprises holding the material between frames arranged in combination; and heating the material at a temperature between its glass transition temperature (Tg) and its crystallization temperature (Tx) and, at the same time, producing a pressure difference between opposite sides of the material, whereby the material is brought into close contact against a forming mold disposed on one side of the material. As an alternative, the forming mold is brought into close contact against the amorphous material in a direction opposite to the pressing direction for the amorphous material. By the above processes, precision-formed products of amorphous alloys can be manufactured and supplied at low cost. These formed amorphous alloy products can be used as mechanical structure parts and components of high strength and high corrosion resistance, various strength members, electronic parts, arts and crafts, original printing plates, or the like.

Orthodontic appliances in accordance with the present invention are formed from amorphous alloys having a supercooling liquid region. The appliances have high corrosion resistance, high durability and high strength. The appliances are particularly useful when changes and adjustments in the orthodontic state become necessary in the course of orthodontic treatment. The present invention also provides improvements in the base surfaces of orthodontic appliances adapted to be bonded to tooth surfaces. The appliances can consequently be securely affixed to tooth surfaces.

Palladium has a catalyst power, and the ultrafine particles have a large specific surface area, because they have a particle size d.ltoreq.200 nm. Such ultrafine particles have a high catalytic activity in a methanol decomposing reaction and also have a good retention of catalytic activity.
摘要:
Ultrafine amorphous metal particles which combine the properties of ultrafine particles with those of an amorphous alloy and a method for the production thereof are disclosed. The ultrafine amorphous metal particles are produced by a method which comprises discharging a plasma arc against a raw metal capable of forming a carbide in a reaction gas using an inert gas as a main component thereof and containing a hydrocarbon gas, and allowing the metal which has been consequently vaporized to contact the reaction gas which has been consequently converted into a plasma, thereby inducing formation of a solid solution of carbon atoms in the vaporized metal and quenching the solid solution in the reaction gas to confer an amorphous structure thereon. As the raw metal, at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Fe, Mo, Nb, Ta, Ti, Zr, Al, Si, and Cr is preferably used. By this method are obtained ultrafine amorphous metal particles which comprise the metal mentioned above, possess at least 50% by volume of an amorphous phase, and have particle diameters of not more than 500 nm.
