Zirconium is one of those few metals which are capable of dissolving relativelylarge quantities of oxygen. When heated in air at elevated temperatures, anoxide layer is built up at the metal surface. The oxidation of mechanicallypolished zirconium was studied in the range 500-900oC in air atmosphere, attemperature intervals of 100oC, for exposure t...

In the current study a ternary Cu-Ge-Sb system has been experimentally assessed. Chemical andphase compositions of the alloy samples from three vertical sections Cu-GeSb, Ge-CuSb and Sb-CuGe were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS) and confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). Hardness of th...
