The behavior of the arc voltage, velocity and rate of electrode erosion were examined in a OC pI.l;:.,ma torch using concentric cylindrical eIectrodes and arc rotation by an axial magnetic field. The re~ults of the expcriments and analyses showed that pure TaC was not suitable as an electrode materia! because of its mechanical failure under themlal stress. A new composite matenal, TaC infiltrated with Al proved to he successful. Stable plasmas were produced containing up to 30 % titanium tetrachloride in argon at a CUITent of 100 amperes, an interelectrode gap of 4 mm, and a magne tic field strength of lOOO Gauss. The cathode erosion rate was less than 30 micrograms/C at a ùtanium tetrachloride concentration of 14.3 %. , 1 CONTENTS Abstract Resume Acknowledgement Contents List of Figures 5 List of Tables 7 Chapter 1.

Le comportement de la tension et de la vitesse de rotation de l'arc ainsi que du taux d'érosion de l'électrode ont éte etudie sur une torche n plasma munié d'electrodes cylindriques concentriques. Un champ magnetique axial imposait une rotation de l'arc entre les électrodes. Les resultats expérimentaux indiquent qu'un cathode de TaC pure ne peut supporter les stress thermiques, provoquent ainsi une defaillance méchanique rapide de l'électrode. Une noveau materiau composite formé de TaC avec infiltration d'aluminium a éte développe et teste avec sucees comme materiau d'electrode. Des plasmas stables on été produits avec des pourcentages allant jusqu'a 30% de tetrachlorure de titane dans l'argon a un courant d'arc de 100 amperes, une espacement interelectrodes de 4 mm et une champ magnetique de 1000 Gauss. Le taux d'érosion de la cathode mesure à une concentration de tetrachlorure de titane de 14.3 % etait inferieur à 30 X 10-6 g/C. 1 C.

Powder metallurgical processing and metal purity: A case for capacitor grade sintered tantalum G S UPADHYAYA Department of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur 208 016, India Abstract. The paper reviews the role of sintered tantalum as volumetric efficient electrical capacitor. Powder characteristics and sintering aspects are discussed. The role of impurities in influencing the electrical properties has been described. Today’s driving force behind the Ta market is the use of surface mounted versions known as chip types, for applications requiring a wide range of operational temperature, such as automotive electronics.

Tantalum chloride (TaCl5) was synthesized in ◦ situ by reacting tantalum chips with chlorine at 550 C. TaC was deposited by reacting TaCl5 with ◦ ◦ CH4 in the presence of H2 at 1050–1150 C and 50–100 mbar. SiC was deposited at 1000 C using methyl-tri-chloro-silane as a precursor at 50 mbar. At 1150 ◦C; the coating thickness was found to be about 600 µm, while at 1050 ◦C it was about 400 µm for the cumulative deposition time of 10 h. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray Photo-Electron Spectroscopy (XPS) studies confirmed the deposition of TaC and SiC and their phases. Ablation studies of the coated specimens were carried out under oxyacetylene flame up to 120 s. The coating was found to be intact without surface cracks and with negligible erosion.

Three solid solution compositions have been chosen: 80TaC-20 vol % HfC (T80H20), 50TaC-50 vol % HfC (T50H50), and 20TaC-80 vol % HfC (T20H80), in addition to pure TaC and HfC. Solid solutions exhibit better oxidation resistance than the pure carbides. The onset of oxidation is delayed in solid solutions from 750 ◦C for pure TaC, to 940 ◦C for the T50H50 sample. Moreover, T50H50 samples display the highest resistance to oxidation with the retention of the initial carbides. The oxide scale formed on the T50H50 sample displays mechanical integrity to prevent the oxidation of the underlying carbide solid solution. The improved oxidation resistance of the solid solution is attributed to the reaction between Ta2O5 and HfC, which stabilizes the volume changes induced by the formation of Ta2O5 and diminishes the generation of gaseous products. Also, the formation of solid solutions disturbs the atomic arrangement inside the lattice, which delays the reaction between Ta and O. Both of these mechanisms lead to the improved oxidation resistances of TaC-HfC solid solutions.

Silvestroni and D. Sciti. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Nearly fully dense carbides of zirconium, hafnium, and tantalum were obtained by pressureless sintering at 1950 ◦C with the addition of 5–20 vol% of MoSi2. Increasing the amount of sintering aid, the final density increased too, thanks to the formation of small amounts of liquid phase constituted by M-Mo-Si-O-C, where M is either Zr, Hf, or Ta. The matrices of the composites obtained with the standard procedure showed faceted squared grains; when an ultrasonication step was introduced in the powder treatment, the grains were more rounded and no exaggerated grains growth occurred. Other secondary phases observed in the microstructure were SiC and mixed silicides of the transition metals. Among the three carbides prepared by pressurless sintering, TaC-based composites had the highest mechanical properties at room temperature (strength 590 MPa, Young’s modulus 480 GPa, toughness 3.8 MPa·m1/2).

  • Precursor Chemistry of Tantalum and Niobium Nitride for MOCVD and ALD Applications
    Precursor Chemistry of Tantalum and Niobium Nitride for MOCVD and ALD Applications Dissertation Arne Baunemann Precursor Chemistry of Tantalum and Niobium Nitride for MOCVD and ALD Applications Dissertation zur Erlangung der Doktorwürde der Fakultät für Chemie der Ruhr-Universität Bochum vorgelegt von Diplom-Chemiker Arne Baunemann Referenten Prof. Dr. Roland A. Fischer Prof. Dr. William S. Sheldrick II Die vorliegende Arbeit entstand in der Zeit von Oktober 2003 bis Oktober 2006 am Lehrstuhl für Anorganische Chemie II der Ruhr-Universität Bochum Meinem Mentor und Betreuer, Professor Dr. Roland A. Fischer möchte ich an dieser Stelle meinen außerordentlichen Dank zuteil werden lassen. Ohne seine inspirierende Vorlesung im ersten Semester hätte ich nicht den Weg in die Chemie gefunden. Während meines gesamten Studiums hat er mir jederzeit mit Rat und Tat zur Seite gestanden und mich in allen Plänen - ohne Einschränkungen - unterstützt. Diese Erfahrungen haben mich zutiefst für mein weiteres Leben geprägt. III “Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think that you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong.” (Ayn Rand in “Atlas Shrugged”, 1957) Meinen Eltern und Carmen IV Acknowledgements Danksagung Juniorprof. Dr. Anjana Devi Anjana und Harish danke ich außerordentlich für die & Dr. Harish Parala Unterstützung in Form von konstruktiver Kritik in vielen Bereichen und der Unterstützung bei XRD und TG/DTA Messungen. Dr. Christian Gemel Christian danke ich für den wertvollen chemischen Input, den er mir in den letzten Jahren gegeben hat. Marie-Kathrin Schröter Nana danke ich für die Unterstützung und den gemeinsamen Spaß in den letzten acht Jahren, die wir fast tagein-tagaus miteinander verbracht haben.
