The empirical and semi-empirical models were used to analyze the phase-structural state of five- and fourcomponent alloys of the Ti-Cr-Al-Nb-V system. Two compositions of lightweight alloys were selected for experimental study: Ti60Cr11Al7Nb11V11 and Ti60Cr11Al7Nb22 (at. %). Ingots of these alloys were obtained by argonarc melting method, and they were subjected to homogenization, deformation by rolling and subsequent annealing at different temperatures. The influence of annealing temperature on the phase-structural state of the alloys, their hardness, and mechanical properties during tensile tests has been studied experimentally. It was found that the change of phase composition and grain size during annealing in the temperature range of 700…900 ºC practically does not affect the hardness and tensile strength of alloys. Annealing at 900 ºC transforms the alloys into a singlephase state with bcc lattice and significantly increases the elongation to fracture, which is about 30% for both alloys. In addition, the yield strength and tensile strength of the five-component alloy are noticeably higher than those of the four-component alloy.

The design of a pulsed vacuum-arc plasma source with an ignition system based on dielectric surface breakdown is presented and the principle of its operation is described. In the engineered plasma source, a four-section anode is used along with an equal number of arc ignition sections. Additionally, separate power supply circuits are employed for both the main pulsed arc discharge and the arc ignition circuit. Independent operation of each section of this device is carried out, essentially constituting a combination of four pulsed plasma sources in one, the coordinated functioning of which is ensured by the control system. Practical tests of the pulsed plasma source have revealed its advantages as followed: a fourfold increase in the ignition system life-time; achieving uniform depletion of the cathode working surface; and, under specific conditions, enhancing the productivity of the plasma source.

Aluminium alloys of the Al-Si and Al-Mg-Sc systems, which are promising for nuclear power generating facilities, were studied. The AK9 aluminium casting alloy and the 1545 wrought alloy were selected as the study materials. Modification of aluminium alloys with a multicomponent nanodispersed modifier based on Mg2Si and SiC was proposed. Grain grinding of modifying alloys by 1.5–2 times, strength properties increasing by 12…18% and corrosion resistance improving were achieved. The mechanism of action of the multicomponent nanodispersed modifier in an aluminium melt was proposed. The use of such modifiers facilitates the technological process, is environmentally safe, and leads to a uniform distribution of the introduced nanocompositions, which increases the strength and stability of alloys. The results achieved showed the effectiveness of modification aluminium alloys with nanodispersed compositions.

To intensify heat transfer processes in nuclear power, it is proposed to use natural convection in horizontal heat exchange tubes. In the article, the problem of convection of a viscous, incompressible fluid in a horizontal cylinder heated from below is analyzed analytically. The proposed analytical method is based upon the use of basic functions that satisfy the initial equation but do not satisfy the boundary conditions. The problem with boundary conditions with a sufficient degree of accuracy is solved by dividing the area of the square described around the cylinder into a large number of smaller element cells. This separation has made it possible to obtain analytical expressions of critical Rayleigh numbers for different positions of current lines in a horizontal cylinder with a viscous, incompressible fluid.

This review presents an examination of various studies investigating the impact of deposition process conditions and structural characteristics of TiN-based vacuum-arc coatings on their ability to withstand cavitation erosion in water. The structural and phase composition of TiN coatings is influenced by two key technological parameters: the nitrogen pressure in the vacuum chamber and the substrate bias potential. However, it has been observed that vacuum-arc alloy coatings such as TiSiN and TiAlYN exhibit notably lower resistance to cavitation erosion. Additionally, research on multilayer Ti-TiN coatings with varying numbers and thickness ratios of layers has not shown an improvement in resistance to cavitation wear when compared to single-layer coatings deposited under optimal conditions. On the other hand, single-phase stoichiometric TiN coatings deposited at a higher nitrogen pressure of 2 Pa and a bias potential of up to -300 V have demonstrated remarkable resistance to cavitation wear. These coatings could be effectively utilized to protect the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V against cavitation damage.

This article dials with methods for producing titanium alloys VT1-0 and VT6 and the gaseous impurities effect on plasticity characteristics. It has been shown that electron-beam melting with an intermediate capacity makes it possible to remove a significant number of impurities in titanium alloys VT1-0 and VT6. It has been proven that industrialscale modification of titanium ingots with a total weight of more than 18 t, followed by their pressure treatment without remelting, allows minimizing the energy costs for obtaining finished semi-finished products.

The two-phase one-dimensional Stefan problem (SP) with the boundary between the phases moving with time is considered. The position of the boundary is determined by the modified Stefan condition (MSC), which is obtained from the original nonlinear diffusion equation by integrating over a thin transition layer, and by tending its thickness to zero. Upon receipt of the MSC, the diffusion coefficient is represented by the sum of the Heaviside step functions. It is shown that the MSC differs from the standard one in that in the latter, the derivatives of the concentrations with respect to the phase coordinates are interchanged. An expression for the displacement of the interphase boundary is obtained, which, as in the standard SP, is proportional to the square root of time. The results of using the MSC are confirmed by experimental data on the displacement of the Cu/Sn interface during diffusion bonding during isothermal annealing.

Among new prospective materials multi-principal element alloys (MPEA) have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their excellent corrosion and irradiation resistance as well as their good mechanical properties over a wide temperature range. The new lightweight multi-principal element titanium-based alloy 61Ti-10Cr-7Al11V-11Nb (at. %) with high ductility at room and elevated temperatures is studied. This single-phase bcc alloy was irradiated with 1.4 MeV Ar ions at room temperature and mid-range doses from 1 to 10 displacements per atom. The effect of irradiation is studied by examining the hardening. A comparison was performed with irradiation-induced hardening behaviour of MPEA, 316 austenitic stainless steel irradiated under an identical condition. It was shown that hardness increases with irradiation dose for all the materials studied, but this increase is lower in multi-principal element alloys both face-centered cubic (FCC) and body-centered cubic (BCC) structures than in stainless conventional steel.

The paper presents the results of industrial testing of the process and equipment for the extraction separation of zirconium and hafnium in a single technological cycle with the production of high-purity nitrate compounds and pure nitric acid solutions as raw materials for the production of sodium nitrate. It is shown that the efficiency of the extraction process is determined primarily by the purity of the nitric acid solution by the content of a critical impurity – silicic acid, which causes an undesirable emulsification process and disrupts the stability of the process. Optimal conditions have been determined under which the formation of non-extractable forms of zirconium and hafnium is excluded. The replacement of pulsating columns with centrifugal extractors reduced operating costs by reducing the volume of a one-time load of a flammable extractant and its losses as a result of hydrolysis. This increased the degree of separation of zirconium and hafnium. Centrifugal extractors provided high process kinetics, reduced production areas, and increased labor productivity and product quality.

A review of studies of regularities of changes in the crystallographic texture of the longitudinal and cross rolling of the Zr-2.5%Nb alloy is given. Accordingly with this, plates were made from longitudinal fragments and rings of a tube 15.01.5 mm from the fuel assemblies of Russian RBMK reactors. The plates were annealed at 580 °C for 3 h. X-ray studies of texture changes with the degree of deformation of the plates by rolling were carried out. The principle of method of inverse pole figures was used with the calculation of the Kearns texture coefficients, as well as measurements of tilt curves (0002) was. Non-uniformiity of deformation during straightening of the tube blanks was taken into account. It is found that the main rotations of crystallographic c-axes in the plates at any rolling direction are carried out in the plane corresponding to the cross-section of the original tube. Existence of an initial stage of increased textural changes during deformation of the plates is found, what is qualitatively and quantitatively related to activity of tensile twins of the {1012}[1011] system. Regularities in texture changes at the subsequent moderate stage of deformation with the participation of compression twins are considered. The purely twinning nature of the textural doublet, which latter is characteristic of the rolling texture of metals of the titanium subgroup, is explained. It is noted and explained a fact that during cross rolling of plates (made from tube rings), textural changes occur at a rate twice as high as during longitudinal rolling. As considered, all similar regularities can be carried out for the metals of the titanium subgroup.
