Hot Corrosion Resistance of TB8 Titanium Alloy after ECAP and Heat Treatment

The metastableβtitanium alloy TB8(Ti-12.76Mo-2.13Nb-2.73A1-0.16Si)was used as the original material,and the secondary processing method combining equal channel angular pressing(ECAP)and heat treatment was adopted.With the help of optical microscope(OM),scanning electron microscope(SEM)and X-ray diffractometer(XRD),the corrosion behavior of TB8 titanium alloy after different secondary processing(800℃/850℃solid solution-520℃aging,ECAP-800℃/850℃solid solution-520℃aging,and800℃/850℃solid solution-ECAP-520℃aging)was studied.The experimental results show that the hot corrosion products of the six samples are similar,mainly Na_(2)Si_(2)O_(5),MoS_(2),TiCl_(2),Ti(SO_(4))_(2),and TiS.Due to the grains of the TB8 titanium alloy treated by 850℃solid solution-ECAP-520℃aging are obviously refined,the surface structure is the most smooth and dense,forming a continuous Al2O3protective film,and the surface defects are the least after corrosion.Its corrosion layer thickness is the lowest(102.3μm),only 36.5%-81.4%of that of other secondary processing titanium alloys.In addition,the corrosion kinetics curves of the six materials all follow parabolic laws,and the minimum corrosion weight gain of the samples after 850℃solutionECAP-520℃aging treatment is 0.7507 mg·mm^(-2),showing better hot corrosion resistance.

Effect of Sputtered TiAlCr Coatings on Oxidation and Hot Corrosion Resistance of Ti-24Al-14Nb-3V

The effect of sputtered Ti-50Al-10Cr and Ti-50A1-20Cr coatings on both isothermal and cyclic oxidation resistance at 800-900℃ and hot corrosion resistance at 850℃ of Ti-24Al-14Nb-3V was investigated. Results indicated that Ti-24Al-14Nb-3V alloys exhibited poor oxidation resistance due to the formation of Al2O3+TiO2+AlNbO4 mixed scales in air at 800-900℃ and poor hot corrosion resistance due to the spoliation of scales formed in Na2SO4+K2SO4 melts at 850℃. Both Ti-50Al-10Cr and Ti-50Al-20Cr coatings remarkably improved the oxidation and hot corrosion resistance of Ti-24Al-14Nb-3V alloy.

Study on the Thermal Fatigue Behavior of Hot Deformed Wear Resistance Cast Iron and Effect of Carbide

The thermal fatigue behavior of wear resistance cast iron with different quantity of deformation has been investigated. The results show that eutectic carbide is the main location and passage for initiation and extension of thermal fatigue cracks, approving that the more serious, the carbide breaks. The higher thermal fatigue resistance of wear resistance cast iron will be and thermal fatigue fracture belongs mainly to brittleness.

Corrosion Behaviors of Nitride Coatings on Titanium Alloy in NaCl-Induced Hot Corrosion

TiN and TiAlN coatings were deposited by arc ion plating on titanium alloys to study their hot corrosion resistance when they were exposed to NaCl at 600℃.The microstructure and corrosion behaviors of nitride coatings were studied using scanning electron microscope,X-ray diffraction,electro-probe microanalyzer and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.The results showed that nitride coatings with the different compositions and the ones with the same composition but different thicknesses presented different hot corrosion resistance.TiN and thin TiAlN coatings showed poor corrosion resistance.Serious internal oxidation attacked the alloy substrate.Their corrosion products were mainly consisted of non-protective TiO2 and sodium salt.By contrast,the thick TiAlN coating presented outstanding corrosion resistance.Besides sodium salt,the corrosion products were composed of protective Al_(2)O_(3).The increasing thickness of TiAlN significantly enhanced the hot corrosion resistance.The corrosion mechanisms of alloy,TiN and TiAlN coatings were discussed in detail.

Modeling deformation resistance for hot rolling based on generalized additive model

A model of deformation resistance during hot strip rolling was established based on generalized additive model.Firstly,a data modeling method based on generalized additive model was given.It included the selection of dependent variable and independent variables of the model,the link function of dependent variable and smoothing functional form of each independent variable,estimating process of the link function and smooth functions,and the last model modification.Then,the practical modeling test was carried out based on a large amount of hot rolling process data.An integrated variable was proposed to reflect the effects of different chemical compositions such as carbon,silicon,manganese,nickel,chromium,niobium,etc.The integrated chemical composition,strain,strain rate and rolling temperature were selected as independent variables and the cubic spline as the smooth function for them.The modeling process of deformation resistance was realized by SAS software,and the influence curves of the independent variables on deformation resistance were obtained by local scoring algorithm.Some interesting phenomena were found,for example,there is a critical value of strain rate,and the deformation resistance increases before this value and then decreases.The results confirm that the new model has higher prediction accuracy than traditional ones and is suitable for carbon steel,microalloyed steel,alloyed steel and other steel grades.

Comparison effects of lanthanum stearate and antioxidants in epoxidized natural rubber

This work studied possibilities of using lanthanum stearate（LaS t） as an antioxidant in epoxidized natural rubber containing 25 mol.% expoxidation（ENR25） compounds. For comparison purposes, two commercial antioxidant 4010 NA and MB were also used. The influence of LaS t, antioxidant 4010 NA and MB on cure characteristics, mechanical properties, crosslink density, hot air aging and thermo-oxidative degradation were studied. The results indicated that the incorporation of LaS t and antioxidants could accelerate the vulcanization of ENR. The ENR vulcanizates with antioxidant MB had better mechanical properties than 4010 NA and LaS t. Compared with antioxidant 4010 NA and MB, the ENR25 vulcanizates with the addition of LaS t exhibited the best hot air aging resistance and thermo-oxidative stability.
