The XPS method has been used to study the chemical composition of the surface of sand forms based on magnesium oxide. The original and modified forms were investigated. Modification of the form was carried out by plasma deposition of a titanium coating on the inner surface. The surface of the initial form consists of the initial oxides and intermetallic compounds based on the elements of the form. In the surface layers of the modified form, TiO2 is the main titanium-containing compound, silicon titanates and intermetallic compounds based on the elements of the form and titanium are present.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
