The formation mechanism of the cathodic phosphate coating was investigated as well.展开更多

Full-penetration butt joints were made with or without current pulsing. Optical microscopy, hardness test and scanning electron microscopy were employed to evaluate the metallurgical characteristics of welded joints. Tensile properties of weldments at different temperatures were studied and correlated with the microstructure. The results exhibit that current pulsing leads to the refinement of the weld microstrucmre and TiB whisker and the redistribution of reinforcements resulting in higher hardness, tensile strength and ductility of weldments in the as-welded condition.展开更多

In order to determine the diffusion coefficient for the chloride ion diffusion into the composite matrix electrochemically, galvanostatic pulse method is used and the diffusion coefficient is estimated to be -6.48× 10^-17 cm^2s^-1. The results are discussed in view of them being potential replacement materials for battery. electrodes and sensors devices.展开更多

The im- provement in fabrication and chemical modification of the solid-state nanopores remains increasingly updated. During the last decades, numerous works have been reported on the nanopore-based sensing applications. More and more new analytical methods using nanopore-based devices are emerging. In this review, we highlight the recent progress on the analytical methods for the interdisciplinary and fast- growing area of nanopore research. According to the dif- ferent types of the electrical readout, whether it is steady- state ionic current or transient current fluctuation, the nanopore-based sensing and analysis can be generally di- vided into two categories. For the first type, the electrical readout shows a stable blockade or reopening of the nanopore conductance in the presence of target analytes, termed steady-state analysis, including the conductance change, electrochemical analysis, and two-dimensional scanning and imaging. The other type is based on the transient fluctuation in the transmembrane ionic current, termed transient-state analysis, including the noise analysis, transient ion transport, and transverse tunneling current. The investigation of solid-state nanopores for chemical sensing is just in its infancy. For further research work, not only new nanopore materials and chemical modifications are needed, but also other non-electric-based sensing techniques should be developed. We will focus our future research in the framework of bio-inspired, smart, multiscale interfacial materials and extend the spirit of binary cooperative complementary nanomaterials.展开更多
