Three types of powder exhibited similar velocity upon impact on the substrate surface. The powder with the lower particle density exhibited a higher temperature upon impingement process, resulting in the generation of a higher flattening ratio. Thus, the coating derived from the powder with the lower particle density possessed superior micro-hardness, porosity and surface roughness. However, the coating with the lowest particle density showed the poorest fracture toughness because of the generation of the largest amount of amorphous phase.展开更多

The Ni-Mo composite coatings are deposited on pretreated copper substrates by electrolytic deposition. The Ni-Mo solution is taken from nickel sulfate fluid and ammonium heptamolybdate with 10 g/l. The Ni-Mo composite coatings are deposited at a temperature of 303 K with an applied current density of j dep= 10 A/dm2-30 A/dm2.We find that the corrosion resistance is improved by incorporating Mo particles into Ni matrix in 0.6-M Na Cl solution. From the potentiodynamic polarization curve of electrodeposited Ni-Mo it is confirmed that the corrosion resistance decreases with increasing applied current density. The x-ray diffraction(XRD) analyses of Ni-Mo coatings indicate three phases of Mo Ni4, Mo1.24Ni0.76, and Ni3 Mo phases crystallites of nickel and molybdenum. The scanning electronic microscopy(SEM) tests indicate that Ni-Mo coatings present cracks and pores.展开更多

It is usually difficult to obtaining solutions in connection with actual geological situations due to the ambiguity of the conventional gravity-processing results and lack of deep constraints. Thus, the three-dimensional (3D) inversion technology is considered as the main channel for reducing the number of solutions and improving the vertical resolution at the current stage. The current study starts from a model test and performs nonlinear 3D density-difference inversion called “model likelihood exploration”, which performs 3D inversion imaging and inversion of the known model while considering the topographic effects. The inversion results are highly consistent with those of the known models. Simultaneously, we consider the Beiya gold mine in Yunnan as an example. The nonlinear 3D densitydifference inversion technology, which is restricted by geological information, is explored to obtain the 3D density body structure below 5 km in the mine area, and the 3D structure of the deep and concealed rock masses are obtained using the density constraints of the intermediate-acid-complex rock masses. The results are well consistent with the surface geological masses and drilling-controlled deep geological masses. The model test and examples both show that the 3D density-difference nonlinear inversion technology can reduce inversion ambiguity, improve resolution, optimize the inversion results, and realize “transparency” in deeply concealed rock masses in ore-concentrated areas,which is useful in guiding the deep ore prospecting.展开更多

The characteristics of this deposition method are capacity of the segregation of metallic nanoparticlesas seed for the SWCNT growing. Use of magnetic particle decorated carbon nanotubes increases the applications in magnetic devices, magnetic memory, and magnetic oriented drug delivery. The CNTs’ spectra show a unique emission band, but due to the presence of the chromium, the spectra obtained in this work showed many bands that are related to the CNTs with different diameters. The CNTs obtained by the HDPCVD system are highly aligned and showed metallic features. Results of this work proved the possibility of obtaining the controlled deposition of aligned single-walled CNTs forest films decorated with chromium and suggested future studies in magnetic devices applications.展开更多

The influences of current density and jet velocity on the surface morphology,microstructure and preferred orientation of the coatings obtained were investigated by SEM,TEM and XRD. It is found that the current density strongly affects the microstructure of the nickel coating. An increase of the DC current density results in a slight increase of the grain size and preferred orientation progressive evolution(i.e. from(111) to(200)),whereas an increase of the PC current density leads to a certain decrease of the grain size and preferred orientation change(i.e. from(111) to a strong(220)). Moreover,jet velocity shows no significant effect on the grain size and preferred orientation for the nanocrystalline coatings obtained in both DC and PC within the range of jet velocity studied.展开更多
