Surface modification of the titanium and its alloys used in implantology with a long-pulse laser can change the surface topography, but it also leads to changes in the stress sign and magnitude in the resulting subsurface layer. The presented research was aimed at evaluating the state of stress after laser remelting with the Nd:YAG laser of pre-etched titanium alloys Ti6Al4V and Ti13Nb13Zr and pure titanium. The obtained surface layers were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical profilography, and nanoindentation studies. Based on the results obtained after the nanoindentation tests, the character of the stresses generated in the melted layers was calculated and determined. Laser processing resulted in surface layer thicknesses between 191-320 µm and surface roughness Ra between 2.89-5.40 µm. Laser processing caused increasing hardness, and its highest value was observed for the titanium alloy Ti13Nb13Zr - 5.18 GPa. The tensile stresses appeared following laser treatment and increased with elevating laser power up to the highest value for titanium.

Oxidation of zirconium alloys is a process that takes place during the operation of nuclear reactors and is essential for assessing the durability of fuel claddings. The present study was aimed to determine the oxidation kinetics of the Zircaloy-4 alloy using GDOES (glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy) at temperature 673 K corresponding to the conditions of use of fuel pellets. The tests were performed on non-oxidized samples as well as after their oxidation for 0.5, 2, 15 and 48 h. Oxygen layer growth was also investigated by thermogravimetric analysis after oxidation for 0.5 h. The naturally generated oxide at room temperature, designated as non-oxidized, had a thickness of 23±2 nm. After 2 h oxidation, an oxide possessing a thickness of 42±4 nm with about 155 nm of oxygen traces was observed. Oxidation for 15 h resulted in formation of an oxide with a thickness of 130±10 nm with a transition distance to the pure alloy of 240 nm. Finally, a layer with a thickness of 235±10 nm appeared after oxidation for 48 h, while the distance after which the measurement included only a pure alloy without the oxygen traces, was about 310 nm. The results show that oxidation can be described by the exponential kinetic equation, that has the parabolic form after 15 or 48 h of oxidation, which well fits the previous results. However, at shorter oxidation times the kinetic equation has the quasi-parabolic form (n < 2). The reason for changing the form of the equation can be attributed to the effect of defective crystalline structure on oxygen diffusion in the oxide layer as the porosity, crevices and cracks.

W wielu pracach opisano masę tlenku cyrkonu powstającego podczas utleniania równaniem parabolicznym, ale według części autorów zależność ta lepiej daje się opisać równaniem kubicznym. Kinetyka opisana przez tę ostatnią zależność dowodzi, że proces dyfuzji atomów tlenu, który determinuje szybkość tworzenia się tlenku, nie jest procesem homogenicznym zachodzącym w idealnym ciele stałym, ale przebiega głównie na granicy ziaren. Celem pracy było określenie zależności ilościowych między czasem utleniania a grubością warstw tlenków w stosunkowo niskiej temperaturze 673 K, odpowiadającej normalnym warunkom pracy reaktorów jądrowych, za pomocą metody GDOES (optyczna spektrometria emisyjna z wyładowaniem jarzeniowym) rzadko stosowanej do badań takich procesów.
