Surface modification of Cu-25Cr alloy induced by high current pulsed electron beam

A Cu-25Cr alloy prepared by vacuum induction melting method was treated by the high current pulsed electron beam （HCPEB） with pulse numbers ranging from 1 to 100. Surface morphologies and microstructures of the alloy before and after the treatment were investigated by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results show that significant surface modification can be induced by HCPEB with the pulse number reaching 10. Craters with typical morphologies on the Cu-25Cr alloy surface are formed due to the dynamic thermal field induced by the HCPEB. Micro-cracks, as a unique feature, are well revealed in the irradiated Cu-25Cr specimens and attributed to quasi-static thermal stresses accumulated along the specimen surface. The amount of cracks is found to increase with the pulse number and a preference of these cracks to Cr phases rather than Cu phases is also noted. Another characteristic produced by the HCPEB is the fine Cr spheroids, which are determined to be due to occurrence of liquid phase separation in the Cu-25Cr alloy. In addition, an examination on surface roughness of all specimens reveals that more pulses will produce a roughened surface, as a result of compromising the above features.

The forming. reason of cold shut was analyzed, and the precaution of cold shut was proposed.

Corrosion and wear properties of micro-arc oxidation treated Ti6Al4V alloy prepared by selective electron beam melting

In order to analyze the effect of voltage during micro-arc oxidation(MAO)on corrosion and wear properties of Ti6Al4V(TC4),the MAO technology was employed to treat TC4 samples fabricated by selective electron beam melting(SEBM)at the voltages of 400,420 and 450 V.The results show that the metastable anatase phase gradually transforms to rutile phase with oxidation time and temperature increasing.The surface morphology of coating contains numerous micropores with uniform size distribution.Cracks and pores over 10μm are found on MAO-TC4 sample with applied voltage of 450 V.The thickness of MAO coating is positively correlated with the voltage.The corrosion resistance and wear resistance are related to phase composition,micropore size distribution on the surface and film thickness.When the voltage is 420 V,the coating shows the smallest corrosion current density(0.960×10^-7 A/cm^2)and the largest resistance(7.17×10^5Ω·cm^2).Under the same load condition,the coating exhibits larger friction coefficient and wear loss than the TC4 substrate.With the increase of voltage,the wear mechanism of the coating changes from abrasive wear to adhesive wear,and the adhesive wear is intensified at applied voltage of 450 V,with a maximum friction coefficient of 0.821.

Characterization of EBPVD micro-layer composites and simulation of its internal stress state

Based on the basic operating principal and the technology characteristic of electron beam physical vapor deposition(EBPVD) technique, EBPVD was used to prepare the micro-layer composites. The effect on the substrate preheating temperature was taken into accounts and the finite element analysis package ANSYS was used to simulate the internal stress field and the potential displacement changing tendency. The results show that one of the most important quality factors on the judgment of micro-layer composites is the adhesion between the substrate and the deposition layers as well as among the different deposition layers. Besides the existance of temperature gradient through the thickness of layers, the main reason for the internal stress in micro-layer composites is the mismatch of various properties of the layer and the substrate of different thermal expansions and crystal lattice types. With the increase of substrate preheating temperature, the inter-laminar shear stress also takes on a tendency of increase but the axial residual stress decrease.

Mechanism of reheat cracking in electron beam welded Ti2Al Nb alloys

In order to clarify the characteristics and formation mechanism of the reheat cracking in Ti2AlNb weldments,a series of heat treatment conditions were performed to the circular joints welded by electron beam,and then the macrostructures and microstructures were investigated using optical microscopy,scanning electron microscopy,X-ray diffractometry,and transmission electron microscopy.The results show that the reheat cracking occurs primarily along the grain boundaries in the weld when the Ti2AlNb circular welded joints are heated up to about 700℃.During the heat treatment,an almost complete transformation of B2→O happens while the temperature goes up through the O single-phase region.Then,O→B2+O phase transformation occurs primarily along the grain boundaries as the weld metal continues to heat up to the B2+O dual-phase region.Under the high tension stress consisting of welding residual stress and phase transformation stress,reheat cracking occurs at the interface between the B2+O dual-phase layer and the O-phase matrix.

Ferromagnetic Resonance Study on the Permalloy Submicron Rectangular Arrays Prepared by Electron Beam Lithography

In this paper, we report a ferromagnetic resonance study on the permalloy film of submicron sized rectangular arrays prepared by electron beam lithography and the theoretical simulation to the non uniform demagnetizing effect and ferromagnetic resonance data. By theoretical simulation, the magnetization, gyromagnetic ratio and g value of the sample are determined. The theoretical curves of the dependence of the resonance field on the field orientation φ H fit well with the experimental data. When the steady magnetic field is applied near the film normal, a series of additional regular peaks (up to eight ) appeared in the FMR spectrum on the low field side of the main FMR peak. The resonance field of these side peaks decreases linearly with the peak number. The possible physical mechanism of these multiple peaks was discussed.

Design and Fabrication of Novel Dual-Base Negative-Differential-Resistance Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor

Based on planar Si dual-base transistor conception, a novel mesa dual-base heterojunc- tion bipolar transistor ( HBT) is designed and fabricated. Molecule beam extension. selective wet chemical etching, common contact photolithography and metal lift-off technique are adopted in the process. The device has particular and distinct voltage-controlled negative differential resistance (NDR) and photo-controlled NDR. The highest peak-to-vally current rate of the voltage-controlled NDR is larger than 148 and the peak current varies with the increase of collector voltage. The device features high speed and high frequency characteristics derived from HBT and intrinsic bistability and self-latching characteristics due to NDR. A single dual-base HBT can be seen as an integration of NDR device, HBT and photoconductive device. Compared with common HBT.the groove is the key factor producing NDR.

Evolution of surface microstructure of Cu-50Cr alloy treated by high current pulsed electron beam

A Cu-50Cr alloy was treated by the high current pulsed electron beam(HCPEB)at 20 and 30 ke V with pulse numbers ranging from 1 to 100.Surface morphologies and microstructures of specimens before and after the treatments were investigated by employing scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction.Results show that the HCPEB technique is able to induce remarkable surface modifications for the Cu-50Cr alloy.Cracks in Cr phases appear even after one-pulse treatment and their density always increases with the pulse number.Formation reason for these cracks is attributed to quasi-static thermal stresses accumulated along the specimen surface.Craters with typical morphologies are formed due to the dynamic thermal field induced by the HCPEB and they are found to prefer the sites near cracks or boundaries between neighboring Cr phases.Another microstructural characteristic produced by the HCPEB is the fine Cr spheroids,which are determined to be due to occurrence of liquid phase separation in the Cu-50Cr alloy.Finally,a general microstructural evolution profile that incorporates various HCPEB-induced surface features is tentatively outlined.

A micro-scale strain rosette for residual stress measurement by SEM Moiré method

In this paper,a new method combining focused ion beam(FIB)and scanning electron microscope(SEM)Moirétechnique for the measurement of residual stress at micro scale is proposed.The FIB is employed to introduce stress relief like the macro ring-core method and fabricate gratings with a frequency of 5000 lines/mm on the measured area of the sample surface.Three groups of gratings in different radial directions are manufactured in order to form a micro-scale strain rosette.After milling ring-core by FIB,the deformation incurred by relief of the stress will be recorded with the strain rosette.The displacement/strain field can be measured using SEM scanning Moiréwith random phase-shifting algorithm.In this study,the Nickel alloy GH4169 sample(which was processed by laser shock peening)is selected as a study object to determine its residual stress.The results showed that the components of the in-plane principal stresses were-359 MPa and-207 MPa,respectively,which show good agreement with the results obtained from the available literature.

Advancements in three-dimensional titanium alloy mesh scaffolds fabricated by electron beam melting for biomedical devices: mechanical and biological aspects

We elucidate here the process-structure-property relationships in three-dimensional（3 D） implantable titanium alloy biomaterials processed by electron beam melting（EBM） that is based on the principle of additive manufacturing. The conventional methods for processing of biomedical devices including freeze casting and sintering are limited because of the difficulties in adaptation at the host site and difference in the micro/macrostructure, mechanical, and physical properties with the host tissue. In this regard, EBM has a unique advantage of processing patient-specific complex designs, which can be either obtained from the computed tomography（CT） scan of the defect site or through a computeraided design（CAD） program. This review introduces and summarizes the evolution and underlying reasons that have motivated 3 D printing of scaffolds for tissue regeneration.The overview comprises of two parts for obtaining ultimate functionalities. The first part focuses on obtaining the ultimate functionalities in terms of mechanical properties of 3 D titanium alloy scaffolds fabricated by EBM with different characteristics based on design, unit cell, processing parameters, scan speed, porosity, and heat treatment. The second part focuses on the advancement of enhancing biological responses of these 3 D scaffolds and the influence of surface modification on cell-material interactions. The overview concludes with a discussion on the clinical trials of these 3 D porous scaffolds illustrating their potential in meeting the current needs of the biomedical industry.

Focused ion beam built-up on scanning electron microscopy with increased milling precision

In this work,a focused ion beam(FIB)-scanning electron microscopy(SEM) dual beam system was successfully built by integrating a FIB column and a graphics generator onto a SEM.Real-time observation can be realized by SEM during the process of FIB milling.All kinds of graphics at nanoscale regime,such as lines,characters,and pictures,were achieved under the control of graphics generator.Moreover,the FIB milling line width can be reduced nearly 27% by the introduction of simultaneous electron beam,and a line width as small as 10 nm was achieved.The numerical analysis indicates that the significant improvement on line width is induced by the Coulomb interaction between the electrons and ions.

SnSi nanocrystals of zinc-blende structure in a Si matrix

A zinc-blende （sphalerite） crystallographic structure of SnSi nanocrystals generated by molecular-beam epitaxy is observed by electron microscopy techniques in a Si matrix. Ab initio density-functional modeling reveals a stabilizing effect of the Si matrix, which results in the lowest formation enthalpy of SnSi nanocrystals having the unexpected zinc-blende structure. Such nanocrystals could be applied in Si photonics to function as non-centrosymmetric media for the nonlinear optical process of second harmonic generation.
