The cross-sectional microstructure of an ion-nitrided layer on a No.45 steel was studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that the columnar crystals constitute the compound layer. Most of them have the microstructure of alternating ε-Fe2-3N and γ-Fe4N and others are single ε-Fe2-3N phase. There are abnormal strip ferrites between the columnar crystals. The transition layer mainly consists of spherical γ-Fe4N and cementite (Fe3C) particles in the pearlite are dissolved in this layer. In diffusion layer, besides the equilibrium phase γ-Fe4N, there are α -Fe16N2 and the satellite spots around main spots of α-Fe16N2 demonstrate its modulation structure. A metastable ordered cluster zone of the nitropen atoms was found in the division layer.

Decomposition processes of the quenched Zn-Al alloys were studied by differentiai scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that the stabilities of supersaturated solid solution (SSS) of Zn-Al alloy and c' phase formed by quenching would reduce with increasing Zn content and precipitating η-Zn phases even when aging at ambient temperature,so that exothermic precipitation peak in DSC curve would disappear. The activation energy of the η-Zn precipitation and their reaction enthalpy were calculated and measured. The kinetics of α' decomposition or η-Zn formation was determined by XRD.The microstructure change during aging was observed by TEM.
