Effects of Fe-Al intermetallic compounds on interfacial bonding of clad materials

The growth of intermetallic compounds at the interface between solid Al and Fe and the effects of intermetallic compound layers on the interfacial bonding of clad materials were investigated. The results showed that the interface between the solid Fe and Al formed by heat-treatment consisted of Fe2Al5 and FeAl3 intermetallic compound layers, which deteriorated the interfacial bonding strength. Fractures occurred in the intermetallic compound layer during the shear testing. The location of the fracture depended on the defects of microcracks or voids in the intermetallic compound layers. The microcracks in the intermetallic compound layer were caused by the mismatch of thermal expansion coefficients of materials during cooling, and the voids were consistent with the Kirkendall effect. The work will lay an important foundation for welding and joining of aluminum and steel, especially for fabrication of Al-Fe clad materials.

Microstructures and mechanical properties of Ni-coated SiC particles reinforced AZ61 alloy composites

In order to improve the interface bonding of SiCp/AZ61 composites prepared by powder metallurgy followed by hot extrusion, the electroless plating of Ni-P coating on SiCp was carried out. The influence of Ni coating on microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites was analyzed. The results show that SiC particles distribute more uniformly in the composites after surface Ni plating and there are fewer defects in Ni-coated composite. The Ni coating reacts with the magnesium matrix forming the Mg2Ni interfacial compound layer during the sintering process. The relative density of the composite increases from 97.9% to 98.4% compared with uncoated one and the hardness of the Ni-coated composite increases more rapidly as the volume fraction of SiCp increases. The tensile test results show that the tensile strength increases from 320 to 336 MPa when the volume friction of SiC particle is 9% and the Ni-coated composites have larger elongation, indicating that Ni coating improves the interfacial bonding strength and the performance of the composites. In addition, the fracture properties of SiCp/AZ61 composites were analyzed.

Improving effect of carbonized quantum dots(CQDs)in pure copper matrix composites

Carbon quantum dots(CQDs),which contain a core structure composed of sp^(2)carbon,can be used as the reinforcing phase like graphene and carbon nanotubes in metal matrix.In this paper,the CQD/Cu composite material was prepared by powder metallurgy method.The composite powder was prepared by molecular blending method and ball milling method at first,and then densified into bulk material by spark plasma sintering(SPS).X-ray diffraction,Raman spectroscopy,infrared spectroscopy,and nuclear magnetic resonance were employed to characterize the CQD synthesized under different temperature conditions,and then CQDs with a higher degree of sp^(2)were utilized as the reinforcement to prepare composite materials with different contents.Mechanical properties and electrical conductivity results show that the tensile strength of the 0.2 CQD/Cu composite material is~31%higher than that of the pure copper sample,and the conductivity of 0.4 CQD/Cu is~96%IACS,which is as high as pure copper.TEM and HRTEM results show that good interface bonding of CQD and copper grain is the key to maintaining high mechanical and electrical conductivity.This research provides an important foundation and direction for new carbon materials reinforced metal matrix composites.

Preparation and characterization of different surface modified SiCp reinforced Al-matrix composites

The effects of SiCp surface modifications(Cu coating,Ni coating and Ni/Cu coating)on the microstructures and mechanical properties of Al matrix composites were investigated.Surface modification of SiC particles with Cu,Ni and Cu/Ni,respectively,was carried out by electroless plating method.SiCp/Al composites were prepared by hot pressed sintering followed by hot extrusion.The results show that the surface modification of SiC particles plays an effective role,which is relative to the type of surface coating,and the interfacial bonding become stronger in the following order:untreated SiCp<Ni(Cu)-coated SiCp<Ni/Cu-coated SiCp.The Ni/Cu-coated SiCp/Al composites exhibit the best comprehensive mechanical properties,with ultimate tensile strength(σUTS)and fracture strain(εf)of 389 MPa and 6.3%,respectively.Compared with that of untreated-SiCp/Al composites,theσUTS andεf are enhanced by 19.3%and 57.5%.

Interfacial microstructure and mechanical behavior of Mg/Cu bimetal composites fabricated by compound casting process

Mg/Cu bimetal composites were prepared by compound casting method, and the microstructure evolution, phase constitution and bonding strength at the interface were investigated.It is found that a good metallurgical bonding can be achieved at the interface of Mg and Cu,which consists of two sub-layers,i.e.,layer I with 30μm on the copper side composed of Mg2Cu matrix phase, on which a small amount of dendritic MgCu2 phase was randomly distributed;layerⅡ with 140μm on the magnesium side made up of the lamellar nano-eutectic network Mg2Cu+(Mg) and a small amount of detached Mg2Cu phase. The average interfacial shear strength of the bimetal composite is measured to be 13 MPa.This study provides a new fabrication process for the application of Mg/Cu bimetal composites as the hydrogen storage materials.

Relationship between interfacial structure and property of steel-mushy Al-28Pb bonding pate

The interfacial properties of steel-mushy Al-28Pb bonding plate with different interfacial structures, and the influence of ratio of Fe-Al compound at the interface on interfacial shear strength were investigated. The results show that there is a nonlinear relationship between the ratio of Fe-Al compound at the interface and the interfacial shear strength. When the ratio of Fe-Al compound at the interface is smaller than 71.4%, with the increase of the ratio of Fe-Al compound at the interface, the interfacial shear strength increases gradually; when the ratio of Fe-Al compound at the interface is larger than 71.4%, with the increase of the ratio of Fe-Al compound at the interface, the interfacial shear strength decreases continuously; when the ratio of Fe-Al compound at the interface is 71.4%, the largest interfacial shear strength 70.2MPa is obtained.

Synthesis of texture-excellent mesoporous alumina using PEG1000 as structure-directing agent

By varying concentration of PEG1000 as a structure-directing agent,mesoporous alumina with excellent textural properties was synthesized.The prepared mesoporous alumina displays high thermal stability,as shown by its textural properties at different calcination temperatures of 600-850 °C.Characterization by SEM and TEM revealed that the added PEG surfactant induced the formation of petal-like alumina.XRD results clarified that all samples were amorphous and their peaks were around the peaks of γ-alumina.N_2 adsorption-desorption analysis showed that the prepared mesoporous alumina,if with PEG1000 in hydrolysis of aluminum isopropoxide,had excellent textural properties with large specific surface area,high pore volume and suitable pore size.The petal-like structure existing in the alumina samples improved their textural parameters,and the role and influential mechanism of PEG1000 were analyzed.

Surface Structure, Spectroscopic and Photocatalytic Activity Study of Polyaniline/TiO2 Nanocomposites

PANI （polyaniline） as a promising conducting polymer and photosensitizer has been used to prepare PANI/TiO2 （polyaniline/TiO2） nanocomposite as photocatalyst. TiO2 nanoparticles with size of 5-100 nm were encapsulated by PANI via the ＂in situ＂ polymerization of aniline on the surface of TiO2 nanoparticles. IR, SEM, EPR techniques were used to characterize the mechanism of electron interaction in PANI/TiO2 nanocomposite. The resulting PANI-modified TiO2 composites exhibit significantly higher photocatalytic activity than that of neat PANI on degradation of MB （methylen blue） aqueous solution under UV irradiation.

DFT calculation analysis of oxygen reduction activity and stability of bimetallic catalysts with Pt-segregated surface

The stability and oxygen reduction reaction （ORR） activity of the Pt-segregated surface in various Pt-M alloys （M： transition metals） are investigated through systematic DFT calculations on the thermodynamic （alloy formation energy and Pt surface segregation energy）, surface chemical property （oxygen binding energy） and electronic （d-band center） properties. Factors af- fecting these properties, such as the atomic radii and surface energy of M and the electronic ligand interaction between Pt and M are analyzed as a function of outmost d electron numbers of M. It is shown that the electronic ligand interaction plays de- termining role in the alloy formation energy of various Pt-M alloys; the formation of Pt-segregated surface in Pt-M alloys is faw）red when alloying metals have higher surface energy and smaller radii than Pt; the oxygen binding energy on the Pt-segregated surface in Pt-M alloys varies approximately linearly with the d-band center of surface Pt atoms; the lattice strain and electronic ligand effects are simply additive in Pt-M alloys; the stain effect in Pt-M alloys nearly linearly affects the d-band center of the Pt-segregated surface in Pt-M alloys; transition metals with less than 10 d electrons mostly exhibit electron ligand effects which result in downshift of the d-band center of the segregated surface Pt atoms, while those with ten d electrons exhibit electron ligand effect upshifting the d-band center of the segregated Pt atoms.

Size dependence of photovoltaic properties and surface states modulation in ZnO nanowire/poly（3-hexylthiophene） hybrid nanostructures

An appropriate diameter and wire-to-wire dis- tance is critical for optimizing the performance of hybrid inorganic/organic photovoltaic devices. For a deep under- standing of their influences on such hybrid structures, the well-ordered ZnO nanowires with different diameters are fabricated by the versatile hydrothermal growth. The dependence of the photovoltaic performance on the surface states, wire diameter and wire-to-wire distance is investi- gated. We demonstrate that the pristine thick ZnO nanowires film possess a higher surface photovoltage （SPV） response than the thin one. This is mainly due to the influence of surface states on the thin ZnO nanowires, which can capture the photo-generated carriers. When the two kinds of ZnO nanowires are fabricated into a hybrid inorganic/organic structure, the thin ZnO nanowires/poly（3-hexylthiophene） hybrid film has a higher SPV response than the thick one, which is contrary to the pristine ZnO nanowires. This is benefited from the smaller diameter and wire-to-wire dis- tance of the thin ZnO nanowires owned. The crystallinity, wire diameter and wire-to-wire distance have the crucial influence on the final photovoltaic performance. The results shown here give us insights toward designing efficient hybrid photovoltaic devices.
