Abstract:

The physical vapor deposition PVD process facility at the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant, McAlester, Oklahoma coat 500-lb bombs with aluminum-zinc Al-Zn. Transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction technique revealed Zn and Al particles in the dust waste generated by this PVD process. The x-ray fluorescence analyses and selected electron diffraction patter confirmed the presence of Al-Zn particles and their crystal structure. Powder data files and a standard evaporated gold thin film electron diffraction pattern were used to determine the d-spacing of Al and Zn dust particles.
