ANALYSIS, TESTING

structure of an aluminum target has on the distribution profile of H⁺ and C⁶⁺ ions throughout it. The experi-ments were designed to consider the case involving a bombardment energy of 1 MeV, particie concentrations between lO¹⁰ and 10¹² cm'³, and volume defects ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 pm. The studies performed indicated that the presence of “three-dimensional” structural defects in metals results in a significant change in the distribution of stopped ions by penetration depth. The studies further indicated that the deviation in the run of an ion in aluminum with a dislocation density of about 10⁷ cm'²from that calculated when defect structure is ignored may amount to tens of percentage points. The effect of “three-dimensionar’ structural defects on the process of an ion’s passage through metal was found to be greatest in the case of heavy ions with an energy up to 1 MeV. “Three-dimensional” structural defects were found to cause a distortion of the Bragg distribution obtained when such defects are ignored and to thus result in a change in the parameters of the secondary processes accompanying the interaction of ions with metals and alloys.

[Abstract] The authors of the study examined the damage inflicted on a tungsten monocrystal by irradia-tion with fast ions up to Xe⁺⁸ with an energy of approx-imately 0.9 MeWamu. A direct crystallographic method based on the shadow effect was used for the studies. The studies were performed based on the following ions: ^,60⁺³ (energy, 137 MeV), ²²Ne^ (enercy, 175 MeV), ^Ar*² (energy, 24 MeV), and ¹²⁹Xe*⁸ (energy, 122 MeV). Polished monocrystalline specimens of W (110) were irradiated at room temperaturę by an ion beam along a direction not coinciding with their main crystallographic axes or planes. Heating of the specimens by the beams was insignificant. The beam parameters after passage through a collimator were as follows: diameter, 1 mm; divergence, <0.5°; intensity, < 10^łO s'¹; and pulse intensity, < 1 W. The main change discovered to occur when one type of bombarding particie was replaced by another was a change in dose scalę. This fact was seen as an explanation of the fact that the anomalous damage that Xe⁺⁸ inflicts on semiconductors (Si and Ge) is not found in the case of tungsten. After analyzing the results of their experiments, the researchers concluded that the change in ions’ ability to inflict damage corresponds to a model of generation of defects due to nuclear scattering. The experiments did not establish any contributions to tungsten damage resulting from ion energy electron losses. The cxperiments reportcd also confirmed that direct crystallographic methods are most promising for use with monocrystalline specimens when studying the response of a condensed medium to the passage of highly ionizing particles.

[Abstract] The authors summarize the results of a study of the anodic polarization and kinetics of the dissolution of A85 aluminum and its alloys Dl, Dl6, and ML-5 in five different Solutions. Solution 1 contained 200.00 g/dm³ Cr0₃ and 50.0 g/dm³ H₃P0₄. Solution 2 contained 50.0 g/dm³ HN0₃ and 10.0 g/dm³ K₂Cr₂0₇g/dm³. Solution 3 contained 200.0 g/dmr Cr0₃ and 50.0 g/dm³ H₃P0₄. Solution 4 consisted of 200.0 g/dm³Cr0₃, and solution 5 contained 700.0 g/dm³ NaOH and 50 g/dm³ NaN0₃. Polarization curves were obtained in both galvanostatic and potentiodynamic modes on a P-5827M potentiostate using a YaSE-2 celi, silvcr chlo-ride standard electrode, and a titanium auxiliary elec-trode. The gravimetric method was used to find the average dissolution ratę and degree of protection afforded by the inhibitors. In concentrated HN0₃ Solutions aluminum was passivated, and its corrosion poten-tial shifted to the rangę of electropositive values; how-ever, this process was found to be impeded in the presence of P, Cl*, Br', and I' anions. Because of depas-sivation, the corrosion potential of A85 aluminum in the series NH₄C1-NH₄F was found to shift to the side of electronegative values. The current density of the passi-vation of aluminum in a solution consisting of 10.0% HN0₃ and 3.0% NH₄F tumed out to be 1.8 times higher than the analogous value for metal in a solution con-taining 10.0% HN0₃ and 3.0% NH₄C1. Anodic oxidation of aluminum and its alloys and formation of protective and protective-decorative coatings were found to occur in Solutions containing Cr0₃, H₃P0₄, H₂S0₄, HP0₃, and H₂C₂0₄. The dissolution ratę of the aluminum alloys studied was found to inerease as their melt temperaturę inereased. The dissolution of the alloy Dl in solution 1 was, for cxample, 16 times morę intensive than dissolution of the alloy Dl6. An analogous phe-nomenon was observed in tests conducted with solution

2. The anodic polarization curves recorded for the alloy MA-5 (which contains 7.5 to 9.5% Al and 0.2 to 0.8% Zn) in Solutions 1, 4, and 5 did not contain any regions of active dissolution, which indicated that the electrode had passed into a passive State. Aluminum and its alloys were found to have a much lower corrosion resistance than magnesium and its alloys. The rangę of the anodic passive State of aluminum was found to be less than that for the magnesium alloy ML-5 by a factor of 1.6. Figures
