TL;DR: In this paper, the phase separation of non-crystalline copper-zirconium alloys using two-source magnetron-sputtering vapor quenchers was reported.
Abstract: Observations are reported on phase separation in copper‐zirconium noncrystalline alloys that were prepared using two‐source magnetron‐sputtering vapor‐quench techniques. The phase separation occurred during synthesis and was observed over the composition range Cu‐25–65 at. % Zr. Evidence from x‐ray analysis, differential thermal analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and electrochemical behavior are presented. These results are discussed and compared to reported observations on liquid‐quenched noncrystalline copper‐zirconium alloys.

TL;DR: In this paper, the internal friction spectra of some titanium and zirconium alloys were measured from 4 to 300°K and the peak was found to be associated with the beta phase and not with β-ω interface.

TL;DR: An electron microscopic investigation on the orientation relationships between grains having hydrides in their boundaries has been carried out on Zircaloy-2 as discussed by the authors, where all other habit planes recorded by other workers were found to operate for the precipitation of zirconium hydride.

TL;DR: In this article, a co-sputter deposition of two metals, such as Al and W, simultaneously to form a binary alloy of W in solid solution with Al is described.
Abstract: Many of the alloying additions responsible for the corrosion resistance of stainless steels can also be used to enhance the passivity of aluminum, provided that these elements remain in solid solution in the alloy. Passivity enhancing elements such as Cr, Mo, Ta, Zr, and W typically exhibit very low solubility limits in aluminum, below 1 atomic percent, and at these concentrations exert little influence on corrosion behavior. However, these solubility limits can be increased with a concomitant enhancement in corrosion performance if the alloys are produced using a rapid solidification process. One such process is co-sputter deposition of two metals, such as Al and W, simultaneously to form a binary alloy of W in solid solution with Al. Co-sputter deposition is routinely used to produce compound semiconductor films. The authors report on shifts in pitting potentials and on the effect of a transition element (W) on pitting resistance of Al.
