FABRICATION OF DLC COATED COBALT-CEMENTED TUNGSTEN CARBIDE MICRO-DRILLS AND THEIR CUTTING PERFORMANCE

In machining the particle reinforced aluminum based composite material with high Si content using the cobalt-cemented tungsten carbide micro cutting tools, diamond like carbon （DLC） films are deposited on cobalt-cemented tungsten carbide micro-drills with two-step pretreatment method. Characteristics of DLC coated tools are investigated in bias-enhanced HFCVD system with the optimized hot filament arrangement. The optimization deposition technology is obtained and the wear mechanism of cutting tools is analyzed. The drilling performance of DLC coated tools is verified by the experiments of cutting particle reinforced aluminum based composite material （Si 15% in volume） compared with uncoated ones. Experimental results show that the two-step pretreatment method is appropriate for complex shaped cemented carbide substrates and ensures the good adhesive strength between the diamond film and the substrate. The cutting performance of DLC coated tool is enhanced 10 times when machining the Si particle reinforced aluminum based metal matrix composite compared with that of uncoated ones under the same cutting conditions.

Effect of 10% Si addition on cathodic arc evaporated TiAlSiN coatings

The effect of 10% Si （mole fraction） addition on TiAlSiN coatings was studied. Ti0.5Al0.5N, Ti0.5Al0.4Si0.1N and Ti0.55Al0.35Si0.1N coatings were deposited on WC？Co substrates by cathodic arc evaporation. The microstructure and mechanical properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, nano-indentation measurement and scratch test. The mechanisms of how Si affects the properties and failure modes of TiAlSiN coatings were also discussed. The results show that the addition of 10% Si results in the formation of nc-（Ti,Al,Si）N/a-Si3N4 nano-composite structure. The hardness and toughness of TiAlSiN coatings increase, whereas the coating adhesion strength decreases. Compared with Ti0.55Al0.35Si0.1N coating, Ti0.5Al0.4Si0.1N coating has higher hardness but lower toughness. The dominant failure mode of TiAlN coating is wedging spallation due to low toughness and strong interfacial adhesion. The dominant failure mode of TiAlSiN coatings is buckling spallation due to improved toughness and weakened interfacial adhesion.

Cracked elastic substrate strip with functionally graded coating under thermal-mechanical loading

This paper investigates the functionally graded coating bonded to an elastic strip with a crack under thermal- mechanical loading. Considering some new boundary conditions, it is assumed that the temperature drop across the crack surface is the result of the thermal conductivity index which controls heat conduction through the crack region. By the Fourier transforms, the thermal-elastic mixed boundary value problems are reduced to a system of singular integral equations which can be approximately solved by applying the Chebyshev polynomials. The numerical computation methods for the temperature, the displacement field and the thermal stress intensity factors （TSIFs） are presented. The normal temperature distributions （NTD） with different parameters along the crack surface are analyzed by numerical examples. The influence of the crack position and the thermal-elastic non- homogeneous parameters on the TSIFs of modes I and 11 at the crack tip is presented. Results show that the variation of the thickness of the graded coating has a significant effect on the temperature jump across the crack surfaces when keeping the thickness of the substrate constant, and the thickness of functionally graded material （FGM） coating has a significant effect on the crack in the substrate. The results can be expected to be used for the purpose of gaining better understanding of the thermal-mechanical behavior of graded coatings.

Effect of TiO_2 and ZrO_2 reinforcements on properties of Al_2O_3 coatings fabricated by thermal flame spraying

The alumina composite coatings reinforced with 25% ZrO2 （denoted as AZ-25） and 3% TiO2 （denoted as AT-3） were deposited on low carbon steel using a thermal flame spraying. The microstructure, phase composition, microhardness and tribological properties of the coatings were investigated. The XRD results of the coatings reinforced by TiO2 （AT-3） revealed the presence of α-Al2O3 phase as matrix and new metastable phases of α-Al2O3 and α-Al2O3. However, the coatings reinforced by ZrO2 （AZ-25） consist of α-Al2O3 as matrix, q-ZrO2 and m-ZrO2. In most studied conditions, the AT-3 coating displays a better tribological performance, i.e., lower coefficient of frictions and wear rates, than the AZ-25 coating. It was also found that the microhardness of the coatings was decreased with the reinforcement of ZrO2 and increased with TiO2.

TLP bonding of Ti-6Al-4V to Al 2024 using thermal spray Babbitt alloy interlayer

Thermal spray assisted transient liquid phase(TLP) bonding of Ti-6 Al-4 V to Al2024 alloys was investigated, where the interlayer was 80 μ m Babbitt thermal spray coat on Al substrate. Thermal spray creates a rough and clean surface which leads to establishing a joint with higher strength. The optimized parameters were bonding temperature of 580 ℃ and bonding time of 30 and 60 min. Microstructural observation together with XRD patterns confirmed the existence of Al2 Cu, Al2 Cu Mg, Cu3 Ti, Ti Al3, Ti Al and Mg2 Sn intermetallic compounds formed in Al weld side. On the other hand, Ti3 Al, Sn3 Ti5 and Ti3 Sn intermetallic compounds formed in Ti side. With increasing bonding time from 30 to 60 min, although the interlayer was not completely consumed, the thickness of remained Babbitt interlayer decreased to approximately 15 μ m. The study showed that shear strength of the joint reaches the high value of 57 MPa obtained at larger bonding time of 60 min.

Bonding strength in carbon steel sandwich panels under condition of diffusion-rolling with small reduction

One of the key problems by diffusion-rolling bonding with small reduction for carbon steel plates is the bonding assistant coat. Abonding assitant coat used below 850℃ was developed. It contained copper as basic element and zinc as main alloy element. Other small elements and rear metals were added to decrease the melting point and to obtain a better clouding and bigh plasticity. Based on the theory of brazing and transient liquid diffusion welding, two carbon steel plates were rolled with small reduction by using self-made bonding assistant coat. Temperature, pressure and holding time are the main technology parameters for controlling the process of diffusion-rolling. The results show that the bonding strength is the greatest when the bonding temperature is 830℃, holding time is 3 min and the reduction rate is 9%.

Effects of SiC interfacial coating on mechanical properties of carbon fiber needled felt reinforced sol-derived Al2O3 composites

3D carbon fiber needled felt and polycarbosilane-derived SiC coating were selected as reinforcement and interfacial coating,respectively,and the sol-impregnation-drying-heating(SIDH)route was used to fabricate C/Al2O3 composites.The effects of Si C interfacial coating on the mechanical properties,oxidation resistance and thermal shock resistance of C/Al2O3 composites were investigated.It is found that the fracture toughness of C/Al2O3 composites was remarkably superior to that of monolithic Al2O3 ceramics.The introduction of SiC interfacial coating obviously improved the strengths of C/Al2O3 composites although the fracture work diminished to some extent.Owing to the tight bonding between SiC coating and carbon fiber,the C/SiC/Al2O3 composites showed much better oxidation and thermal shock resistance over C/Al2O3 composites under static air.

Microstructures and properties of PVD TiAlN coating deposited on cermets with different Ti(C,N)grain size

In the present work,TiAlN coatings were deposited on Ti(C,N)-based cermet substrates by physical vapor deposition method.Emphasis was focused on the influence of grain size of cermet substrates on the microstructure,growth behavior,mechanical properties,adhesion strength and wear behavior of the coatings.The results show that finer Ti(C,N)grain size leads to higher nucleation density and lower growth rate of coatings,indicating the crystallite size of the TiAlN coatings decreases with decreasing Ti(C,N)grain size.Nanoindentation tests show that the coatings deposited on cermets of the finest grain size exhibit the highest hardness(H),elastic modulus(E),H/E and H3/E2 of 34.5 GPa,433.2 GPa,0.080 and 0.22,respectively.The adhesion strength between coating and substrate is also enhanced with decreasing Ti(C,N)grain size by scratch test,which corresponds to the grain size and H/E and H3/E2 of the coating.Besides,the lower surface roughness and better mechanical properties of the coating deposited on finer grained cermet contribute to the better wear resistance of the coating.

Experimental and finite element analysis for fracture of coating layer of galvannealed steel sheet

Mechanical properties of galvannealed (GA) steel sheet used for automotive exposed panel and predicted failure phenomenon of its coating layer were evaluated using finite element method. V-bending test was performed to understand better the fracture of coating layer of GA steel sheet during plastic deformation. Yield strength of the coating layer was calculated by using a relative difference between hardness of coating layer measured from the nano-indentation test and that of substrate. To measure shearing strength at the interface between substrate and coating layer, shearing test with two specimens attached by an adhesive was carried out. Using the mechanical properties measured, a series of finite element analyses coupled with a failure model was performed. Results reveal that the fracture of coating layer occurs in an irregular manner at the region where compressive deformation is dominant. Meanwhile, a series of vertical cracks perpendicular to material surface are observed at the tensile stressed-region. It is found that 0.26-0.28 of local equivalent plastic strain exists at the coating and substrate at the beginning of failure. The fracture of coating layer depends on ductility of the coating layer considerably as well.

Effects of TaN nanoparticles on microstructure,mechanical properties and tribological performance of PEEK coating prepared by electrophoretic deposition

In order to solve the friction,wear and lubrication problems of titanium,a series of TaN/ployether−ether−ketone(PEEK)coatings were developed by electrophoretic deposition,and the effects of TaN nanoparticles on the microstructure,mechanical properties and tribological performance of coatings were explored.Results manifest that the introduction of TaN nanoparticles into PEEK coatings could improve the deposition efficiency,enhance the resistant deform capacity,increase the hardness,elastic modulus and adhesive bonding strength.Compared with the pure PEEK coating,the friction coefficient of P-TN-3 was greatly reduced by 31.25%.The wear resistance of P-TN-3 was also improved in huge boost,and its specific wear rate was decreased from 9.42×10^(−5) to 1.62×10^(−5) mm^(3)·N^(−1)·m^(−1).The homogeneous composite TaN/PEEK coatings prepared by electrophoretic deposition were well-adhered to the titanium alloy substrate,TaN nanoparticles could improve the strength of PEEK coating,and provide wear-resistance protection for titanium alloys.

Effect of Multiple Coatings of One-step Self-etching Adhesive on Microtensile Bond Strength to Primary Dentin

Objective To investigate the effect of multiple coatings of the one-step self-etching adhesive on immediate microtensile bond strength to primary dentin.Methods Twelve caries-free human primary molars were randomly divided into 2 groups with 6 teeth each.In group 1,each tooth was hemisected into two halves.One half was assigned to control subgroup 1,which was bonded with a single-step self-etching adhesive according to the manufacturer's instructions;the other half was assigned to experimental subgroup 1 in which the adhesive was applied three times before light curing.In group 2,the teeth were also hemisected into two halves.One half was assigned to control subgroup 2,which was bonded with the single-step self-etching adhesive according to the manufacturer's instructions;the other half was assigned to experimental subgroup 2 in which three layers of adhesive were applied with light curing each successive layer.Microtensile bond strength was immediately tested after specimen preparation.Results When the adhesive was applied three times before light curing,the bond strength of the experimental subgroup 1(n=33,57.49±11.61 MPa) was higher than that of the control subgroup 1(n=31,49.71±11.43 MPa,P<0.05).When using the technique of applying multiple layers of adhesive with light curing each successive layer,no difference of immediate bond strength was observed between the control subgroup 2 and the experimental subgroup 2(P>0.05).Conclusion Multiple coatings of one-step self-etching adhesive can increase the immediate bond strength to primary dentin when using the technique of light-curing after applying three layers of adhesive.

The Cr_(7)C_(3)−CrSi_(2)−Al_(2)O_(3)composite coatings were prepared by plasma spraying Cr_(7)C_(3)−CrSi_(2)−Al_(2)O_(3)and Al−Cr2O3−SiC composite powders,respectively.The microstructure,formation mechanism and properties of the two Cr_(7)C_(3)−CrSi_(2)−Al_(2)O_(3)composite coatings obtained by plasma spraying were investigated,and the reaction mechanism of the Al−Cr_(2)O_(3)−SiC system was explored.The results show that the coating obtained by plasma spraying Al−Cr_(2)O_(3)−SiC composite powders had thinner lamella and more tortuous interlayer interface,and the in-situ synthesized Cr_(7)C_(3),CrSi_(2) and Al_(2)O_(3) in the coating were all nano-crystallines.Compared with the Cr_(7)C_(3)−CrSi_(2)−Al_(2)O_(3)coating prepared by plasma spraying Cr_(7)C_(3)−CrSi_(2)−Al_(2)O_(3)composite powders,the plasma-sprayed Cr_(7)C_(3)−CrSi_(2)−Al_(2)O_(3)coating obtained from Al−Cr_(2)O_(3)−SiC composite powders had higher density,higher microhardness(increased by 20%),better fracture toughness and lower wear rate(reduced by 28%).

Tribology Performance and Adhesive Strength Evaluation of TiAlSiN Coating

Scratch test and friction test were performed to evaluate the internal and external interface behaviors of TiAISiN coating, respectively. The critical compressive and shearing stress of coating failure during scratch test were calculated and the values are 30.84 MPa and 4.98 MPa respectively. The average friction coefficients of TiAISiN coat- ing against 2Crl2Ni4Mo3VNbN steel are 0.70 （sliding speed 50 m/rain）, 0.63 （sliding speed 100 m/min）, and 0.81 （sliding speed 150 m/min）. The elements diffusion was analyzed by EDS. A1 and Si element of coating material dif- fuse to the steel disc, except Ti element. The oxidation decreases with the increase of sliding speed, but the adhesion increases with the increase of sliding speed. More A1 element diffuses to the steel disc at the high sliding speed, but the diffusion of Si element keeps almost constant at dlfferent sliding speeds.
