Essentiality titanium

If the semiconductor is doped, the excitation transition may be a MMCT transition. An example is Cr in Ti02 or SrTiOj where irradiation promotes an electron from the Cr ion to the conduction band which is essentially titanium 3d. This type of transition was discussed in the first part of this section. 

The interstitial carbides These are formed by the transition metals (e.g. titanium, iron) and have the general formula M, C. They are often non-stoichiometric—the carbon atoms can occupy some or all of the small spaces between the larger metal atoms, the arrangement of which remains essentially the same as in the pure metal (cf. the interstitial hydrides). 

Nickel—Copper. In the soHd state, nickel and copper form a continuous soHd solution. The nickel-rich, nickel—copper alloys are characterized by a good compromise of strength and ductihty and are resistant to corrosion and stress corrosion ia many environments, ia particular water and seawater, nonoxidizing acids, neutral and alkaline salts, and alkaUes. These alloys are weldable and are characterized by elevated and high temperature mechanical properties for certain appHcations. The copper content ia these alloys also easure improved thermal coaductivity for heat exchange. MONEL alloy 400 is a typical nickel-rich, nickel—copper alloy ia which the nickel content is ca 66 wt %. MONEL alloy K-500 is essentially alloy 400 with small additions of aluminum and titanium. Aging of alloy K-500 results in very fine y -precipitates and increased strength (see also Copper alloys). 

The most common oxidation state of niobium is +5, although many anhydrous compounds have been made with lower oxidation states, notably +4 and +3, and Nb can be reduced in aqueous solution to Nb by zinc. The aqueous chemistry primarily involves halo- and organic acid anionic complexes. Virtually no cationic chemistry exists because of the irreversible hydrolysis of the cation in dilute solutions. Metal—metal bonding is common. Extensive polymeric anions form. Niobium resembles tantalum and titanium in its chemistry, and separation from these elements is difficult. In the soHd state, niobium has the same atomic radius as tantalum and essentially the same ionic radius as well, ie, Nb Ta = 68 pm. This is the same size as Ti ... 

The catalyst combines two essential ingredients found in eadier catalysts, vanadium oxide and titanium dioxide, which are coated on an inert, nonporous carrier in a layer 0.02- to 2.0-mm thick (13,16). Other elements such as phosphoms are also used. Ring-shaped supports are used instead of spherical supports to give longer catalyst life, less pressure drop though the reactor, and higher yields (17,18). Half rings are even better and allow more catalyst to be loaded (18). 

Physical and Chemical Properties. Titanium dioxide [13463-67-7] occurs in nature in three crystalline forms anatase [1317-70-0] brookite [12188-41 -9] and mtile [1317-80-2]. These crystals are essentially pure titanium dioxide but contain small amounts of impurities, such as iron, chromium, or vanadium, which darken them. Rutile is the thermodynamically stable form at all temperatures and is one of the two most important ores of titanium. 

Ferrous orthotitanate [12160-20-2] Fe2Ti04, is orthorhombic and opaque. It has been prepared by heating a mixture of ferrous oxide and titanium dioxide. Ferrous dititanate [12160-10-0] FeTi20, is orthorhombic and has been prepared by reducing ilmenite with carbon at 1000°C. The metallic ion formed in the reaction is removed, leaving a composition that is essentially the dititanate. Ferric titanate [1310-39-0] (pseudobrookite), Fe2TiO, is orthorhombic and occurs to a limited state in nature. It has been prepared by heating a mixture of ferric oxide and titanium dioxide in a sealed quartz tube at 1000°C. 

Extraction of Bertrandite. Bertrandite-containing tuff from the Spor Mountain deposits is wet milled to provide a thixotropic, pumpable slurry of below 840 p.m (—20 mesh) particles. This slurry is leached with sulfuric acid at temperatures near the boiling point. The resulting beryUium sulfate [13510-49-1] solution is separated from unreacted soflds by countercurrent decantation thickener operations. The solution contains 0.4—0.7 g/L Be, 4.7 g/L Al, 3—5 g/L Mg, and 1.5 g/L Fe, plus minor impurities including uranium [7440-61-1/, rare earths, zirconium [7440-67-7] titanium [7440-32-6] and zinc [7440-66-6]. Water conservation practices are essential in semiarid Utah, so the wash water introduced in the countercurrent decantation separation of beryUium solutions from soflds is utilized in the wet milling operation. 

Samples were tested on in a melt of salts (75% Na SO, 25% NaCl) at 950°C in an air atmosphere for 24 hours. Micro X-rays spectrum by the analysis found that the chemical composition of carbides of an alloy of the ZMI-3C and test alloys differs noticeably. In the monocarbide of phase composition of an alloy of the ZMI-3C there increased concentration of titanium and tungsten is observed in comparison with test alloys containing chemical composition tantalum. The concentration of more than 2% of tantalum in test alloys has allowed mostly to deduce tungsten from a mono carbide phase (MC) into solid solution. Thus resistance of test alloys LCD has been increased essentially, as carbide phase is mostly sensitive aggressive environments influence. The critical value of total molybdenum and tungsten concentration in MC should not exceed 15%. 

It was observed, under conditions when the nickel-aluminide mixtures of the same ratio were fully reacted, that the titanium aluminides were essentially unreacted reactions were only localized. Because the products were of such small size, it was difficult to identify them, but they were thought to be TiAlj or ordered superstructures TiQAl23 or TigAl24. No further studies have been carried out on these samples. 

Specific numbers are not available for the final comparison in which all cost factors are weighed. First of all, a possibly higher raw material cost for graphite-epoxy is made up for, at least in a qualitative sense, by the fact that not as much machining is required for the graphite-epoxy spar. Essentially only as much graphite-epoxy as is needed is bought, whereas many times the amount of titanium that is needed in the final... 

Fig. 10 shows that the flow stress of the hydrogen-alloyed compacts is essentially less than that of the outgassed ones at all test temperatuics. The flow stress relation between the hydrogen-alloyed and outgassed compacts depended on the strain. At equal strains at test temperatures, this ratio could achieve 2 or more. Thus, the effect of hydrogen on the properties of compacted powders is much similar to that observed on bulk titanium.
