Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Microstructure and element composition of the sample having the multilayer reactive diffusion zone (RDZ) in Al-Co system obtained by means of contact smelting at 1375 °C for 1 hour were studied in cross-section by means of scanning electron microscopy and electron probe microanalysis (SEM-EPMA). In the multilayer RDZ the following intermetallic compounds CoAl3, Co2Al5, CoAl, β' + (αСо), as well as solid solution of CoAl in (αСо) were identified using the spot energy-dispersion analysis (EDS). Using the methods of linear EDS and wave-dispersion (WDS) analyses the profiles of element concentrations were obtained. These concentration profiles indicate that CoAl3, Co2Al5, CoAl and β' + (αСо) are able to form solid solutions in each other. Microstructural peculiarities of RDZ forming in the layers CoAl3, Co2Al5, CoAl and β' + (αСо) can simulate the actual structural pattern of Al-Co alloys (as-cast).
