Wettability and interfacial reactions of PdNi-based brazing fillers on C-C composite

The wettability and interfacial reactions of four kinds of PdNi-based brazing fillers on C-C composite were studied with the sessile drop method.The results showed that the wettability of these brazing fillers was improved with the increase of Cr content. Cr distributed at the interface of brazing filler/C-C composite and the formation of Cr23C6 phase was speculated.In the interface between Ni-33Cr-24Pd-4Si brazing filler and C-C composite,element Cr reacted with C-C to form Cr-C reaction layer.Pd together with Si participated in the interfacial reactions and formed Pd2Si and Pd3Si phases.Furthermore,in this reaction zone,the residual brazing alloy became Ni-rich and Pd-depleted.

Effect of auxiliary TIG arc on formation and microstructures of aluminum alloy/stainless steel joints made by MIG welding-brazing process

A new hybrid welding process was successfully used to join aluminum alloy and stainless steel. In the MIG welding-brazing process, the lower thermal conductivity of steel can cause dramatic change of temperature gradient on steel surface, while the auxiliary TIG arc can change this phenomenon by heating the steel side. The auxiliary TIG improved the wettability of molten metal, resulting in the molten metal spreading fully on upper surfaces, front and back surface of steel, forming a sound brazing joint; the content of Cr and Ni elements in IMCs layer was increased, which can enhance the quality of the layer; and the microstructure of IMCs layer also was improved, increasing the bonding strength with the weld seam. The average tensile strength of the joint obtained with auxiliary TIG arc（146.7 MPa） was higher than that without auxiliary TIG arc（96.7 MPa）.

Effects of Ag contents in Sn-xAg lead-free solders on microstructure,corrosion behavior and interfacial reaction with Cu substrate

The effects of Ag on the microstructure and corrosion behavior of pre-soldering Sn-xAg lead-free solders,and on the formation of intermetallic layer of the solders with Cu substrate were investigated.The Ag contents(x)were 0,3.0,3.5,4.0,and5.0 wt.%.The Ag content played a role in the morphology of Ag3 Sn phase in the solders.The microstructure analysis showed that theβ-Sn phase was surrounded by eutectic networks in the 3.0 Ag and 3.5 Ag solders and large plate-like Ag3 Sn formed in the 4.0 Ag and5.0 Ag solders.Nonetheless,the Ag content slightly impacted the corrosion behavior of the as-cast solders as characterized using potentiodynamic polarization test.After soldering,only a single layer of a Cu6 Sn5 intermetallic compound formed at the Sn-xAg/Cu interface.By comparison,the Cu6 Sn5 intermetallic layer of the Ag-doped solders was thinner than that of the 0Ag solder.The fine Ag3 Sn particles in the eutectic networks precipitating in the 3.0 Ag and 3.5 Ag solders effectively hindered the growth of Cu6 Sn5 grains compared to large plate-like Ag3 Sn in the 4.0 and 5.0Ag solders.

Alkylpolyglycoside inducing poly (butylene terephthalate) non-woven graft copolymerization of chitosan

In order to improve the wettability and biocompatibility of the poly （butylene terephthalate） non-woven （PBTNW）, the method of surface modification is used to graft copolymerization of chitosan （CS） onto the PBTNW under alkylpolyglycoside （APG） inducing. The product is thoroughly characterized with the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FrIR）, the electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis （ESCA）, the thermogravimetric （TG） and the scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. It is found that chitosan is successfully grafted onto PBTNW. In addition, the water contact angles, hemolysis tests and cytotoxicity evaluation tests show an improvement in wettability and biocompatihility as a result of graft copolymerization of chitosan. So the CS-grafted PBTNW exhibits greater superiority than the original PBTNW. The CS-grafted PBTNW can be a candidate for blood filter materials and other medical applications.

Effect of vegetation type, wetting intensity, and nitrogen supply on external carbon stimulated heterotrophic respiration and microbial biomass carbon in forest soils

By using packed soil-core incubation experiments, we have studied stimulating effects of addition of external carbon （C） （glu- cose, 6.4 g C m 2） on heterotrophic respiration and microbial biomass C of a mature broadleaf and Korean pine mixed forest （BKPF） and an adjacent white birch forest （WBF） soil under different wetting intensities （55% and 80% WFPS, water-filled pore space） and nitrogen （N） supply （NH4C1 and KNO3, 4.5 g N m-e） conditions. The results showed that for the control, the cumulative carbon dioxide （CO2） flux from WBF soil during the 15-day incubation ranged from 5.44 to 5.82 g CO2-C m-2, which was significantly larger than that from BKPF soil （2.86 to 3.36 g CO2-C m 2）. With increasing wetting intensity, the cumulative CO2 flux from the control was decreased for the WBF soil, whereas an increase in the CO2 flux was observed in the BKPF soil （P 〈 0.05）. The addition of NH4C1 or KNO3 alone significantly reduced the cumulative CO2 fluxes by 9.2%-21.6 % from the two soils, especially from WBF soil at low wetting intensity. The addition of glucose alone significantly increased soil heterotrophic respiration, microbial biomass C （MBC）, and microbial metabolic quotient. The glucose-induced cumulative CO2 fluxes and soil MBC during the incubation ranged from 8.7 to 11.7 g CO2-C m-2 and from 7.4 to 23.9 g C m-2, which are larger than the dose of added C. Hence, the addition of external carbon can increase the decomposition of soil native organic C. The glucose-induced average and maximum rates of CO2 fluxes during the incubation were significantly in- fluenced by wetting intensity （WI） and vegetation type （VT）, and by WIxVT, NH4ClxVT and WIxVTxNH4C1 （P〈0.05）. The addition of NH4C1, instead of KNO3, significantly decreased the glucose-induced MBC of WBF soil （P〈0.05）, whereas adding NH4C1 and KNO3 both significantly increased the glucose-induced MBC of BKPF soil at high moisture （P〈0.05）. According to the differences in soil labile C pools, MBC and CO2 fluxes in the presence and absence of glucose, it can be concluded that the stimulating effects of glucose on soil heterotrophic respiration and MBC under temperate forests were dependent on vegetation type, soil moisture, and amount and type of the N added.

Interactions between natural biofilm,substratum surface wettability,and mussel plantigrade settlement

Mytilus galloprovincialis is a major fouling organism in the inter-tidal zone.However,the interactions between M.galloprovincialis plantigrade settlement,biofilm characteristics,and surface wettability remains unknown.Here,we examined M.galloprovincialis plantigrade settlement responses to marine biofilms(BFs)on surfaces of varying wettability.No significant difference in mussel settlement was observed on young BFs(7 d)on surfaces of differing wettability;while settlement decreased on older BFs(14,21,and 28 d)formed on low compared to high wettability surfaces.Surface wettability affected BF characteristics.The standardized harmonic mean and water contact angles values were not correlated with diatom density and chlorophyll a concentration,but were correlated with bacterial density,dry weight,and thickness.Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis revealed that bacterial community structure differed on BFs on surfaces of varying wettability.Thus,surface wettability affects biofilm characteristics,and the subsequent changes in BF characteristics may be responsible for the variation in biofilm-inducing activity of M.galloprovincialis plantigrade settlement.
