A detailed microstructure, chemical composition, and phase analysis of the composite coatings were studied by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, energy dispersive spectroscopy （EDS）, and X-ray diffraction （XRD）. The laser cladding shows good metallurgical bonding with the substrate. The composite coatings are composed of Mgl7Al12, Al3Mg2, Mg2Si, Al2O3, and TiO2 phases. Compared to the average microhardness （50HV0.05） of the AZ3 1 B substrate, that of the composite coatings （230HV0.05） is improved significantly. The wear resistances of the surface layers were evaluated in detail. The results demonstrate that the wear resistances of the laser surface-modified samples are considerably improved compared to the substrate. It also show that the composite coatings exhibit better corrosion resistance than that of the substrate in 3.5wt% NaCI solution.展开更多

The microstructure and tribological properties of the composite coatings were researched. The results show that the composite coatings mainly consist of γ-Ni, α-Al2O3, γ-Al2O3 and rutile-TiO2 etc, and exhibit lower friction coefficients and wear losses than the Ni-based alloy coatings at different loads and speeds. The composite coating bears low contact stress at 3 N and its wear mechanism is micro-cutting wear. As loads increase to 6-12 N, the contact stress is higher than the elastic limit stress of worn surface, and the wear mechanisms change into multi-plastic deformation wear, micro-brittle fracture wear and abrasive wear. With the increase of speeds, the contact temperature of worn surface increases. The composite coating experiences multi-plastic deformation wear, fatigue wear and adhesive wear.展开更多

The coating microstructure and the interface between bond coating and ceramic coating were characterized by SEM, XRD and EDS. The results show that two-layer substructure exists in the ceramic coating： one layer evolving from fully melted region where the sintered grains grow fully; another layer resembling the liquid-phase-sintered structure consisting of three-dimensional net where the melted Al2O3 particles are embedded in the TiO2-rich matrix. The mechanism of the two-layer substructure formation is also explained in terms of the melting and flattening behavior of the powders during laser cladding processing. The spinel compounds NiAl2O4 and acicular compounds Cr2O3 are discovered in the interface between bond coating and ceramic coating. It proves that the chemical reactions in the laser cladding process will significantly enhance the coating adhesion.展开更多

For the improvement of cyc le performance,the surface of LiCo0.05Mn1.95O4 was coated with ve ry fine SiO2-TiO2 composite prepared by sol-gel method. The structure and morphology of the coating materials were investigated by X-ray diffraction （XRD ） and scanning electron microscope （SEM）. The electrochemical performances of un coated and SiO2-TiO2 coated LiCo0.05Mn1.95O4 spinel at 25 ℃ and 55 ℃ were studied with a voltage range of 3.04.35V and a current density of 0.1 mA/cm2. There is a slight decrease in the initial discharge ca pacity of coated LiCo0.05Mn1.95O4（119 mA·h/g） compared with that of uncoated （123 mA·h/g）. However the cycle ability of LiCo0.05Mn1. 95O4 coated by SiO2-TiO2 is improved. It is proposed that surface treat ment is an effective method to improve the cycle performance of LiCo0.05Mn 1.95O4. The surface modification is successful in minimizing the harmful side reactions within the batteries by placing a protective barrier layer betwe en the oxidizing cathode material and the liquid electrolyte.展开更多
