New Ternary Intermetallics Based on Magnesium for Hydrogen Storage: The Fishing Approach
Magnesium allows obtaining a good hydrogen storage capacity in terms of weight percentage but its use is limited by high stability of the hydride and slow kinetics. The kinetics can be improved by (i) mechanic...

Effects of ball-milling conditions and additives on the hydrogen sorption properties of Mg + 5 wt% Cr2O3 mixtures
Effects of particle size of Cr2O3 catalyst on the hydrogen absorption/desorption kinetics of Mg + 5 wt% Cr2O3 mixtures have been studied. To explain the effect of particle size of Cr2O3 and also to yield informat...

Magnetocaloric properties of amorphous GdNiAl obtained by mechanical grinding
An amorphous GdNiAl sample was prepared by mechanical grinding performed on a crystallised intermetallic. The treatment changes greatly the ferromagnetic behaviour of this compound; its Curie temperature decre...

Hydrogen storage properties of Mg-based mixtures elaborated by reactive mechanical grinding
The hydrogen sorption properties of Mg + 10 wt% WO3 and Mg + 5 wt% Cr2O3 mixtures made by reactive (under hydrogen) mechanical grinding were studied and compared with those of elemental Mg subjected to a similar ...

Investigation of Hydrogen Sorption Properties of TiMn2 Based Alloys
Microprobe analysis and X-ray powder diffraction were performed for a series of intermetallic compounds Ti0.95Zr0.05Mn1.45M0.5where M = V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni and Al. These compounds crystallize in the hexagonal C14-t...

On the CVD of MoSi2: an experimental study from the MoCl4–SiCl4–H2–Ar precursor with a view to the preparation of C/MoSi2/SiC and SiC/MoSi2/SiC microcomposites
The chemical vapour deposition of MoSi2 on plane substrates (graphite or sintered-SiC) and ceramic fibres has been studied from MoCl4–SiCl4–H2–Ar gas mixtures at 900<T<1400°C and 2<P<40 kPa, according to an ex...

Estimation of residual stresses in SiC/Ti-15-3 composites and their relaxation during a fatigue test
Residual stresses induced by cooling down from the elaboration process in SiC/Ti-15-3 composite were calculated by the finite element model using MARC and MENTAT software. An analytical model (derived from tho...
