Abstract
A portion of the titanium-vanadium-silicon system was chosen to be studied after a literature survey of this system had been conducted. Various procedures and methods of alloy preparation were studied and, in a few cases, were perfected. Alloys containing equal parts of titanium and vanadium and up to 7% silicon were considered. The study, however, concentrated on alloys containing under 1% silicon when it was found that only these alloys were readily formed into useful shapes. Physical properties and microstructures of these alloys are discussed and some recommendations for future investigation are made.

Functionalization of single-crystal silicon and silicon carbide surfaces via amine and alcohol groups
(2012)Reactions of simple amines, alcohols, ethers, and bi-functional molecules on the Si(100)-(2x1) surface were studied theoretically and experimentally. Additionally, theoretical calculations were performed for the interaction ... -

Microalloying boron carbide with silicon to achieve dramatically improved ductility
(American Chemical Society, 2014)Boron carbide (B4C) is a hard material whose value for extended engineering applications such as body armor is limited by its brittleness under impact. To improve the ductility while retaining hardness, we used density ... -
