Opis:
The influence of hydrogen on the electronic and structural properties of Nb1-yFey alloys has been studied with 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. No ability of hydrogen to creation of the ferromagnetic properties has been observed in this system. The results clearly indicate the ß-NbH0.85÷0.77 hydride formation in place of ?-Nb phase. The quadrupole splitting and the isomer shift of the ß-NbHx subspectrum have been considered in terms of interaction between the interstitials and the Mössbauer atoms within the hydride phase.

Opis:
This work aims to analyze the effects of niobium on the bioactivity of a titanium, nickel, aluminum, and niobium alloy obtained by the Plasma Skull Push Pull process (PSPP). Titanium alloys, such as NiTinol (NiTi), are metallic biomaterials that have wide application in health and surgical prostheses. In this work the microstructural and bioactivity characteristics of the alloys are evaluated. The addition of aluminum improves alloy ductility and reduces its cost. The addition of niobium favors the hydroxyapatite nucleation. Therefore, the addition of the combination of the two elements contributes to lower cost and better alloy bioactivity.

The effect of processing parameters on the final microstructure and properties of advanced high strength CMnSiNb steel was investigated. Several processing strategies with various numbers of deformation steps and various cooling schedules were carried out, namely heat treatment without deformation, conventional quenching and TRIP steel processing with bainitic hold or continuous cooling. Obtained multiphase microstructures consisted of the mixture of ferrite, bainite, retained austenite and M-A constituent. They possessed ultimate tensile strength in the range of 780-970 MPa with high ductility A5 mm above 30%. Volume fraction of retained austenite was for all the samples around 13%. The only exception was reference quenched sample with the highest strength 1186 MPa, lowest ductility A5 mm = 20% and only 4% of retained austenite.

Opis:
In order to find an economical and feasible short process for betafite preconcentrating and to provide a reference for the development of similar low-grade uranium deposits, preconcentration of the betafite ore was investigated based on mineralogical characterization study, float-sink tests, and dense medium cyclone (DMC) separation experiments. The float-sink test results revealed that the gravity separation of the betafite ore was feasible, and the expected particle size range was chosen to be 3~0.3 mm. The effect of important parameters of the DMC experiment such as particle size, grade of the feed, separation density, and inlet pressure on the separation performance of betafite ore was studied. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the expanded experiments were performed and the heavy minerals contained 4557 ppm U and 5200 ppm Nb2O5 with a recovery of 88.86% and 79.73%, respectively, were obtained. Besides, the enrichment ratio (E) values of U and Nb2O5 were 14.24 and 12.78 severally, and the tailings discarding ratio (R) value was 93.76%. The results demonstrate that the preconcentration of low-grade betafite by DMC can remove a large number of tailings and obtain a high-grade uranium concentrate.

In this study, the effects of adding niobium and vanadium to Fe-based oxide dispersion strengthened alloys are confirmed. The composition of alloys are Fe-20Cr-1Al-0.5Ti-0.5Y2 O3 and Fe-20Cr-1Al-0.5Ti-0.3V-0.2Nb-0.5Y2 O3. The alloy powders are manufactured by using a planetary mill, and these powders are molded by using a magnetic pulsed compaction. Thereafter, the powders are sintered in a tube furnace to obtain sintered specimens. The added elements exist in the form of a solid solution in the Fe matrix and suppress the grain growth. These results are confirmed via X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy analyses of the phase and microstructure of alloys. In addition, it was confirmed that the addition of elements, improved the hardness property of Fe-based oxide dispersion strengthened alloys.

Opis:
Pure niobium is used for making superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities. These cavities need to have a good surface finish to achieve maximum performance. The high smoothness, lack of subsurface hydrogen content and sulfur contamination removal of SRF niobium cavities are the three most important factors to achieving a high accelerating gradient. For finishing niobium surface, electropolishing (EP) in hydrofluoric/sulfuric acid electrolyte is commonly used as a final process. Unfortunately this process had been considered to cause hydrogen absorption that could result in hydrogen Q-disease in niobium SRF cavities. This is why a new electrolyte was compounded to substitute the one presently used. Moreover, the additional imposition of a magnetic field during the electropolishing process (magnetoelectropolishing MEP) not only increases hydrogen removal, but also results in reduction of surface roughness when compared to the roughness achieved by the electropolishing process alone (Rz much over 300 nm). This effect of sharp decrease in hydrogen content was found previously in our experiments with titanium and stainless steels after MEP processing. Our present studies, with the electrolyte consisting of a mixture of 70% methanesulfonic acid with 49% hydrofluoric acid by volume in 3:1 ratio, resulted in intensifying and speeding-up the electrochemical processes of dissolution and polishing niobium surface. It was found that the imposition of a magnetic field of ≈ 100 mT upon the EP process is able to reduce niobium surface roughness of up to 50% (Rz below 200 nm) compared to the roughness achieved by conventional electropolishing.

Opis:
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) ceramic materials are consi-dered as one of the most promising implant materials in bone surgery and in dentistry. They exhibit unique biocompatibility, bioactivity, and osteoconductivity, which are the most desirable biomaterial features. However, HAp itself is brittle, has low strength, high degree of crystallinity and low solubility at physiological pH. Doping synthetic HAp with metal ions plays an important role in improving its structural and physico--chemical properties. HAp doped with niobium ions has not been widely investigated so far. However, the results of studies available in the literature show that the synthesized CaO-P2O5-Nb2O5 compounds still show good biocompatibility, very low cytotoxicity and, additionally, they stimulate osteoblast proliferation. Therefore, this study is dedicated to the niobium--doped HAp ceramics obtained by two methods: mechano-chemical synthesis and sol-gel method. Bioceramics chemical composition, morphology, and structure were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy imaging, BET method, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results indicate that nanoceramics of non-stoichiometric HAp with a clear Ca deficiency on the nanograin surface were obtained. Moreover, it has been observed that the presence of Nb dopants and the synthesis method directly affect unit cell parameters, crystallinity degree, crystallites size, porosity and distribution of niobium in the grain structure. Mechano-chemical synthesis has allowed effective niobium incorporation into the HAp structure, leading to the quite homogeneous Nb distribution in the grain volume. Whereas, Nb-doping by sol-gel method has led to dopants location mainly on the grain surface.

Physical upgrading process was applied using gravity and magnetic separation techniques to concentrate these economic minerals mainly to obtain the magnetic niobium concentrate at 0.2- 0.5 ampere, beside the non-magnetic Zr and U at 1.5 ampere. The chemical processing upon niobium concentrate was performed using NH4F roasting process at 250ºC followed by selective precipitation of Nb as Nb-sulfide. An alkaline fusion using NaOH was applied upon zirconium concentrate at the optimum conditions of: zircon concentrate/ NaOH mass ratio 1/2, fusion temperature of 650ºC and 2.5h fusion time followed by selective precipitation of Zr as Zr- tartrate. Finally, two flowsheets were drawn summarizing the whole recovery processes.

Opis:
High temperature and high electric field applications in tantalum and niobium capacitors are limited by the mechanism of ion migration and field crystallization in a tantalum or niobium pentoxide insulating layer. The study of leakage current (DCL) variation in time as a result of increasing temperature and electric field might provide information about the physical mechanism of degradation. The experiments were performed on tantalum and niobium oxide capacitors at temperatures of about 125°C and applied voltages ranging up to rated voltages of 35 V and 16 V for tantalum and niobium oxide capacitors, respectively. Homogeneous distribution of oxygen vacancies acting as positive ions within the pentoxide layer was assumed before the experiments. DCL vs. time characteristics at a fixed temperature have several phases. At the beginning of ageing the DCL increases exponentially with time. In this period ions in the insulating layer are being moved in the electric field by drift only. Due to that the concentration of ions near the cathode increases producing a positively charged region near the cathode. The electric field near the cathode increases and the potential barrier between the cathode and insulating layer decreases which results in increasing DCL. However, redistribution of positive ions in the insulator layer leads to creation of a ion concentration gradient which results in a gradual increase of the ion diffusion current in the direction opposite to the ion drift current component. The equilibrium between the two for a given temperature and electric field results in saturation of the leakage current value. DCL vs. time characteristics are described by the exponential stretched law. We found that during the initial part of ageing an exponent n = 1 applies. That corresponds to the ion drift motion only. After long-time application of the electric field at a high temperature the DCL vs. time characteristics are described by the exponential stretched law with an exponent n = 0.5. Here, the equilibrium between the ion drift and diffusion is achieved. The process of leakage current degradation is therefore partially reversible. When the external electric field is lowered, or the samples are shortened, the leakage current for a given voltage decreases with time and the DCL vs. time characteristics are described by the exponential stretched law with an exponent n = 0.5, thus the ion redistribution by diffusion becomes dominant.

Opis:
The goal of this work is to determine the effect of niobium on the kinetics and mechanism of Ti-Al oxidation in air. In order to compare the oxidation kinetics of Ti-Al and Ti-Al with the addition of niobium, isothermal oxidation was performed on Ti-48Al and Ti-46Al-8Nb (in at.%) alloys at 1073 K in synthetic air. Cyclic oxidation of Ti-46Al and Ti-46Al-8Nb alloys was carried out in laboratory air for 42 cycles (1 cycle, 24 hrs). The morphology, as well as chemical and phase composition of the oxidation products were investigated using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy combined with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). From these investigations it can be concluded that niobium addition increases the corrosion resistance of TiAl and, furthermore, improves the adherence between the metallic substrate and the oxide scale. The oxidation mechanism of Ti-46Al-8Nb was studied via secondary neutral mass spectroscopy (SNMS) after two-stage isothermal oxidation (24 hrs in 16O2 followed by 24 hrs in 18O2) at 1073 K. From this analysis it can be assumed that the oxidation mechanism of Ti-46Al-8Nb alloy consists of simultaneous outward titanium and aluminum diffusion and inward oxygen transport.
Celem pracy jest określenie wpływu dodatku niobu na kinetykę i mechanizm utleniania stopu TiAl w powietrzu. Dla porównania kinetyk utleniania stopu Ti-Al oraz stopu z dodatkiem niobu zostały przeprowadzone badania izotermicznego utleniania stopów o składach Ti-48Al i Ti-46Al-8Nb (w at.%) w powietrzu syntetycznym w 1073 K. Stopy Ti-48Al i Ti-46Al-8Nb poddano cyklicznemu utlenianiu w powietrzu laboratoryjnym w 1073 K obejmującym 42 cykle 24-godzinne. Morfologie oraz skład fazowy i chemiczny produktów utleniania badanych próbek przeprowadzono metodą dyfrakcji promieniowania rentgenowskiego (XRD) oraz skaningowej mikroskopii elektronowej (SEM) w połączeniu z metodą dyspersji energii promieniowania rentgenowskiego (EDS). Na podstawie tych badań stwierdzono, że dodatek niobu w stopie TiAl podwyzsza jego odporność korozyjną a ponadto polepszą przyczepność zgorzeliny do rdzenia metalicznego. Mechanizm utleniania stopu Ti-46Al-8Nb badano metodą spektrometrii masowej rozpylonych cząstek neutralnych (SNMS) po dwuetapowym izotermicznym utlenianiu (pierwszy etap w 16O2 przez 24 godz., kolejny w 18O2 przez 24 godz.) w 1073 K. Na podstawie tej analizy postuluje się, że mechanizm utleniania stopu Ti-46Al-8Nb odbywa się w wyniku równoczesnej odrdzeniowej dyfuzji tytanu i glinu oraz dordzeniowego transportu tlenu.

Opis:
The effect of lead ions on the flotation activation of tantalum niobium ore (TNO) was studied by micro-flotation, adsorption capacity experiments, solution chemical composition calculations, and infrared spectral analysis. The experimental demonstrated that the combined collector of salicylhydroxamic acid (SHA) and ammonium dibutyl dithiophosphate (ADDP) resulted in a strong collection capacity for TNO in the presence of lead ions. The solution chemistry calculations determined that the dominant source of lead ions in the aqueous solution was $Pb(OH)^+$ at a pH of 8, which was conducive to the adsorption and interaction of SHA and ADDP anions. In the lead ion activation system, the combined reagent co-adsorbed onto the TNO surface, causing a large negative shift in the zeta potential. The co-adsorption mechanism of the combined collector consisted of complex chemisorption between SHA and the TNO surface active particles, while the main adsorption of ADDP is physisorption.

In the paper, the porous coatings obtained on niobium and two titanium alloys (Ti6Al4V, and TNZ) after Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO), known also as Micro Arc Oxidation, were studied. The samples were treated at the voltage of 450 V for 3 minutes in the electrolyte consisting of 300 g and 600 g of copper nitrate Cu(NO3)2 in 1 litre of concentrated phosphoric acid H3PO4, consecutively. SEM and EDS studies were performed on the samples. Based on the obtained results it may be concluded that enriched in copper porous coatings on all studied materials were created in the electrolyte within copper nitrate amounting for 600 g. The proposed by the Authors factor to evaluate the obtained coatings, i.e. copper-to-phosphorus ratio, which for the studied materials amounted to 0.21, clearly indicates that the performed electrochemical PEO treatment for surface modification especially of bioimplants may be advised.

Opis:
The paper has focused on market for critical raw materials and its influence on mineral prices. Usually ores and ore products are deemed critical raw materials if they mostly or totally come from foreign countries, have difficult replacement, and are vital for the Nation’s economy, especially for defence issues. Tungsten, niobium, graphite and lithium were chosen for analysis from the critical mineral commodities declared by the European Commission and the Government of the Czech Republic. An analysis of these mineral commodity market conditions has been made, and their impacts on particular mineral availability and price have been assessed. As regards tungsten supplies, there are relatively many producer countries with the existing or developing extraction structures, but China has at its disposal 60% of the deposits. Lithium reserves are sufficient, but supplies are highly concentrated – four producer companies deliver about 90% of lithium in the world. Also niobium supplies are extremely concentrated, in the period, 2009–2012, two Brazilian mines and a single Canadian one produced 99% of niobium in the world. The biggest world producer of natural graphite is China that dominates 70% of the market. Natural resources of the above mentioned mineral commodities are not critical. The Earth’s crust deposits are sufficient for long-term exploitation, and what’s more, a technology has been patented for lithium recycling. What rather matters is the issue of the free play of market forces. The theoretical preconditions for the free play of market forces and balanced price convergence – market presence of many various producers and many customers – are disturbed by producer structure, high concentration of mining companies and countries. Free market interference is implied in dominance of individual producer countries or production companies, and their ability to decide about production levels and related prices. Nevertheless, the inevitable rise of mineral commodity prices will mean that exploitation of some sources, which are currently deemed uneconomical, may become interesting.
W artykule skoncentrowano się na rynku surowców krytycznych i ich wpływie na ceny surowców mineralnych. Zazwyczaj rudy i produkty wzbogacania uznane za surowce krytyczne surowce jeśli w większości lub w całości pochodzą z innych krajów, mają trudno zastępowalne i są niezbędne w gospodarce narodowej, zwłaszcza dla przemysłu obronnego. Jako przedmiot analizy wybrano wolfram, niob, grafit i lit będące surowcami krytycznymi w dokumentach opublikowanych przez Komisję Europejską i rząd Republiki Czeskiej. Przeprowadzono analizę rynku surowców oraz jego wpływ na dostępność i cenę minerałów. Zasobywolframu zostały zidentyfikowane w kilku krajach natomiast 60% złóż znajduje się w Chinach. Rezerwy litu są wystarczające, ale podaż jest bardzo skoncentrowana cztery firmy producenckie dostarczają około 90% litu. Również podaż niobu jest niezwykle skoncentrowana, w latach 2009-2012 dwie kopalnie brazylijskie i jedna kanadyjska wyprodukowały 99% niobu na świecie. Największym światowym producentem grafitu naturalnego są Chiny, które obejmują 70% rynku światowego. Zasoby naturalne wymienionych surowców mineralnych nie są krytyczne. Złoża skorupy ziemskiej są wystarczające dla długotrwałej eksploatacji, a ponadto opatentowano technologie recyklingu np. litu. Isotny jest problem gry wolnorynkowej. Teoretyczne warunki wstępne dla swobodnej gry sił rynkowych i zrównoważonej konwergencji cen – rynek to obecność wielu różnych producentów i wielu klientów – warunki są zakłócane przez strukturę producentów, dużą koncentrację firm górniczych. Zakłócenia wolnego rynku są implikowane przez dominację poszczególnych krajów producenckich lub przedsiębiorstw produkcyjnych, oraz ich zdolność do decydowania o poziomach produkcji i cenach. Niemniej jednak nieunikniony wzrost cen surowców mineralnych może oznaczać, że wykorzystanie niektórych źródeł, które obecnie uważa się za nieekonomiczne, może stać się interesujące.

Opis:
Most of the orthodontic archwires used in the clinical practice nowadays contain nickel (Ni), however, many patients, especially kids, are allergic to Ni. One possible Ni-free alternative is the Titanium-Niobium (Ti-Nb) archwire. Unfortunately, there is not enough information about its mechanical properties in the literature, especially after clinical usage. Therefore, the aim of this work was to investigate and compare the mechanical properties, chemical composition, structure and morphology of as received and used in clinical practice Ti-Nb orthodontic archwires. Materials and methods: We investigated and compared as received and clinically retrieved after 4 and 6 weeks respectively Ti-Nb archwires with dimensions 0.43 × 0.64 mm (0.017 in. × 0.025 in.). The following methods were used: instrumented indentation testing (nanoindentation), X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Results: The nanoindentation investigations of as received and used Ti-Nb archwires revealed a decreasing in their indentation hardness with increased periods of use in the patient’s mouth. Moreover, an increasing of the concentration of Ti in the content of the TiNb alloy was associated with an increased period of use in the oral cavity. The SEM analysis showed changes in surface morphology with increasing the period of use of the archwires. Conclusions: The results showed that there are slight changes in the mechanical and physicochemical properties of the investigated wires after their use in the patient’s mouth. That is why we do not recommend them for recycling.
