The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy method has been used to study the alpha case formed on the surface of a titanium alloy during its casting into ceramic molds, based on a mixture of oxides of magnesium, silicon, calcium, and water glass, as a binder. It is established that the alpha case consists of mold metal oxides, titanium oxides and complex intermetallic compounds based on titanium and mold elements.
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.
