High-temperature interaction of liquid Gd in contact with dense, polycrystalline TiO2 substrate, was investigated. Wettability and reactivity tests were carried out at two different temperatures (1362°C and 1412°C) in flowing gas (Ar, 850−900 hPa) using the sessile drop method and classical contact heating of the examined couple of materials. The procedure was combined with a drop pushing procedure. During high temperature studies, images of the Gd/TiO2 couple were continuously recorded by a high-resolution CCD camera. The results of wettability tests of liquid gadolinium on titanium dioxide substrate show that the Gd/TiO2 system is non-wettable at both test temperatures (in either case the final contact angle was 100°). The results of structure examinations on the cross-sectioned samples show the dissolution of the TiO2 substrate in liquid Gd and the presence of two sublayers at the drop/substrate interface: Gd2TiO5 (from the drop side) and Gd2Ti2O7 (from the substrate side).

W niniejszej pracy przeprowadzono badania wysokotemperaturowego oddziaływania ciekłego gadolinu w kontakcie ze zwartym podłożem z tlenku glinu.. Badania zwilżalności i reaktywności wykonano w obojętnym gazie przepływowym (Ar, 850–900 hPa) metodą kropli leżącej z zastosowaniem klasycznej procedury wspólnego nagrzewania badanej pary materiałów w dwóch temperaturach: 1362°C i 1412°C. Podczas testów w badanym układzie Gd/Al2O3 odnotowano cykliczne występowanie zjawiska zwilżalności (kąt zwilżania  < 90°) w obydwu temperaturach, przy czym w temperaturze 1362°C wartości kąta zwilżania zmieniały się w zakresie od 89° do 137° natomiast w temperaturze 1412°C – od 77° do 107°. Badania strukturalne próbki po testach zwilżalności przeprowadzono przy użyciu mikroskopu optycznego i skaningowego mikroskopu elektronowego z emisją polową wspomaganą termicznie. Wykazały one, że ciekły Gd reaguje z podłożem z tlenku glinu, a na granicy rozdziału kropla/podłoże powstaje nowy produkt reakcji – potrójny tlenek GdAlO3.

The paper describes the study on the high temperature interaction of liquid gadolinium in contact with a dense aluminium oxide substrate. Wettability and reactivity tests were performed in inert flow gas (Ar, 850-900 hPa) by the sessile drop method using a classic procedure of contact heating of the tested pair of materials at two temperatures: 1362 °C and 1412 °C. During the tests, in the tested Gd/Al2O3 system the occurrence of the phenomenon of wettability was observed (contact angle < 90°) at both temperatures; at 1362°C the contact angle values varied from 89° to 137° whereas at 1412°C from 77° to 107°. The structural tests of the sample after the wettability tests have been carried out using an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope equipped with a thermally assisted field emission. They have shown that liquid Gd reacts with Al2O3 substrate and a new reaction product is formed at the interface between the drop/substrate - which was identified as the triple oxide GdAlO3.

Mg55Y15Cu33-based metallic glass matrix composites are produced by mechanical alloying of elementar powder mixtures containing up to 3- vol. % of Y2O3 particles. Comparison with the particle-free metallic glass reveals that the nanosized second phase oxide particles do not significantly affect the glass-forming ability upon mechanical alloying despite some limited particle dissolution. A supercooled liquid region with an extension of about 50 K can be maintained in the processes of the oxides. The distinct viscosity decrease in the supercooled liquid regime allows for consolidation of powders into bulk samples by uniaxial hot pressing. The Y2O3 additions increase the mechanical strength of the composites compared to the Mg55Y15Cu33 metallic glass.
