奥氏体不锈钢因低硬度和较差耐磨性限制了其应用,故改善不锈钢表面性能对于促进其应用有重要的工程意义。利用激光熔覆技术制备了不同质量分数(0,20%,40%)的MoSi_(2)增强Co基合金的复合涂层。采用扫描电镜(SEM)、X射线衍射仪(XRD)、电子探针显微分析仪(EPMA)等方法研究了MoSi_(2)的添加量对复合涂层的显微组织、相组成、硬度和摩擦磨损性能的影响。结果表明:MoSi_(2)的加入使复合涂层显微组织柱状晶向等轴晶和平面树枝晶转变,且具有细化组织的效果;随着MoSi_(2)含量的增加,Co基复合涂层的显微硬度和耐磨性能也随着提高。当MoSi_(2)的含量为40%时,MoSi_(2)/Co基复合涂层的显微硬度高达1455HV_(0.2),磨损率为6.9×10^(-5) mm^(3)/(N·m);在凝固过程中形成的硬质相(Cr_(5)Si_(3)、MoSi_(2)、Mo_(5)Si_(3)和Co_(2)Mo_(3))和(Fe、Cr、Co)Si_(2)新型固溶体显著提高复合涂层的耐磨性能;MoSi_(2)增强Co基合金涂层的磨损机制随着MoSi_(2)含量的增加发生转变,即由磨粒磨损、黏着磨损和塑性变形的协同作用转变为黏着磨损、脆性微断裂和氧化磨损。

Effect of Yttrium on Microstructure and Hot Corrosion Preformance of Laser Clad Co-Based Alloy

The structure of the yttrium modified Co-base alloy layers formed by laser cladding on 2Cr13 and 1Cr18Ni9Ti steel surfaces and its hot corrosion performance have been investigated systematically.The re- sults show that the Y-containing cobalt base clad alloy has a finer microstructure and higher corrosion re- sistance to the salt mixture of 75% Na_2SO_4+25%NaCl at high temperature.The unique properties are ob- tained with addition of 0.875% Y for the formation of a continuous and compact oxide scale.The compact scale may act as a barrier for the inward diffusion of oxygen and sulphur and also for the outward diffusion of alloying elements.

Noise-like rectangular pulses in a mode-locked double-clad Er:Yb laser with a record pulse energy

Generation of noise-like rectangular pulse was investigated systematically in an Er–Yb co-doped fiber laser based on an intra-cavity coupler with different coupling ratios.When the coupling ratio was 5/95,stable mode-locked pulses could be obtained with the pulse packet duration tunable from 4.86 ns to 80 ns.The repetition frequency was 1.186 MHz with the output spectrum centered at 1.6μm.The average output power and single pulse energy reached a record 1.43 W and1.21μJ,respectively.Pulse characteristics under different coupling ratios(5/95,10/90,20/80,30/70,40/60)were also presented and discussed.

Metal-ceramic Bond Mechanism of the Co-Cr Alloy Denture with Original Rough Surface Produced by Selective Laser Melting

The porcelain fracture caused by low metal-ceramic bond strength is a critical issue in porcelain fused to metal（PFM） restorations. Surface roughening methods, such as sand blasting, acid etching and alkaline degreasing for the metal matrix are used to increase bond strength. However, the metal matrix of PFM processed by selective laser melting（SLM） has natural rough surface. To explore the effect of the original roughness on metal-ceramic bond strength, two groups of specimen are fabricated by SLM. One group of specimen surface is polished smooth while another group remains the original rough surface. The dental porcelain is fused to the specimens＇ surfaces according to the ISO 9693：1999 standard. To gain the bond strength, a three-point bending test is carried out and X ray energy spectrum analysis（EDS）, scanning electron microscope（SEM） are used to show fracture mode. The results show that the mean bond strength is 116.5 16 MPa of the group with rough surface（Ra= 17.2）, and the fracture mode is cohesive. However, when the surface is smooth （Ra =3.8）, the mean bond strength is 74.5 MPa _＋ 5 MPa and the fracture mode is mixed. The original surface with prominent structures formed by the partly melted powder particles, not only increases surface roughness but also significantly improves the bond strength by forming strong mechanical lock effect. Statistical analysis （Student＇s t-test） demonstrates a significant difference （p〈0.05） of the mean value of bond strength between the two groups. The experiments indicate the natural rough surface can enhance the metal-ceramic bond strength to over four times the minimum value （25 MPa） of the ISO 9693：1999 standard. It is found that the natural rough surface of SLM-made PFM can eliminate the porcelain collapse defect produced by traditional casting method in PFM restorations.

Thermal Fatigue Behaviour of Co-Based Alloy Coating Obtained by Laser Surface Melt-Casting on High Temperature Alloy

A thermal fatigue behaviour of Co-based alloy coating obtained by laser surface meltcasting on the high temperature alloy GH33 was studied.The results show that after each time of thermal cycling,the final residual stress was formed in the melt-casting layer which is attributed to the thermal stress and structural stress.Through the first 50 times of thermal cycling,the morphology of coating still inherits the laser casting one,but the dendrites get bigger;After the second 50 times of thermal cycling,corrosion pits emerge from coating,and mostly in the places where coating and substrate meet.The fatigue damage type of coating belongs to stress corrosion.

IR Spectra Analysis of SiO_2-TiO_2-GeO_2 Gel Glass of CO_2 Laser Transmitting Hollow Waveguide

Both titanium and germanium were introduced into silicon dioxide system by sol-gel method to move its region of anomalous dispersion caused by IR resonance absorption towards the wavelength of CO 2 laser.It is indicated by IR absorption spectra that as the content of SiO 2 decreases in this glass system TiO 2 and GeO 2 tends to exist in their own phases.As for the gel glass with a composition of 40SiO 2·30TiO 2·30GeO 2,when the temperature is below 600℃,germanium atoms exist mainly in Ge-O-Ge bonds.With the temperature increasing from 800℃ to 1000℃, titanium atoms in Si-O-Ti bonds almost transform into Ti-O-Ti bonds.Furthermore,a large number of Si-O-Ti and Si-O-Ge bonds formed when the temperature approaches 800℃,which makes a notable IR absorption band round the wavelength of CO 2 laser.Therefore, sol-gel based SiO 2-TiO 2-GeO 2 gel glass is a candidate material for CO 2 laser hollow waveguide.

Laser engineered net shaping of Co-based superalloys

Laser engineered net shaping(LENS) process was investigated using Co-based superalloy powder with a high power continuous wave CO2 laser. Thin wall part with smooth surface was obtained by LENS of layer-by-layer deposition of the powder materials. This thin wall sample was tested for metallographic examinations, micro-hardness, X-ray diffraction and mechanical property test. Microstructural results show that the layers possess rapid solidification microstructural feature, fine dendritic crystal and M7C3-type carbides (essentially chromium-rich carbide) dispersed in theγ(Co,Cr) phase matrix. Dendrite spacing as well as the solidification mode can be controlled through control process parameters. In addition, this microstructural feature of the as-formed Co-base sample leads to an evident hardening and a superior tensile strength and toughness.

Microstructure of Nano-Y_2O_3/Cobalt Based Alloy Composite Coating by Laser Cladding

Composite coatings made of nano-Y_2O_3/cobalt-based alloy and produced by crosscurrent CO_2 laser on Ni-based superalloy are introduced. Cross-section or surface of the coatings was examined to reveal their microstructure using optical microscope, SEM, including EDS microanalysis, TEM and XRD. The results show that some equilibrium or non-equilibrium phases, such as γ-Co, Cr_(23)C_6, Y_2O_3 and ε-Co exist in the coatings. Fine and short dendritic microstructure and columnar to equiaxed transition (CET) occurred by adding nano-Y_2O_3 particles. With the increasing amount of nano-Y_2O_3 (1%, mass fraction), fully equiaxed crystallization appeared. These are caused by nano-Y_2O_3 particles acting as new nucleation site and rapid solidification of the melt. The results also show that inhomogeneous dispersion of nano-Y_2O_3 results in the formation of ε-Co phase in the coatings. The sub-microstructure of the clad is stacking fault. The mechanism of the formation of equiaxed grains is also analyzed.

All-fiber Based Er^(3+)∶Yb^(3+) Co-doped Fiber Laser

An all-fiber based Er~ 3+ ∶Yb~ 3+ co-doped double clad fiber laser operating at 1550nm is demonstrated. By using 9m long Er~ 3+ ∶Yb~ 3+ co-doped fiber(EYDF) as the gain medium, and using a pair of fiber Bragg gratings as wavelength filters, the line-width of the output laser is as narrow as 0.2nm and the output power is more than 6mW. The fluorescent effect of the laser before its emission is also studied. And it is found that the Er~ 3+ ∶Yb~ 3+ co-doped double-clad fiber laser also exhibits a high gain for Yb~ 3+ transition near 1080nm.

The Effect of Argon Inert Gas on the Laser Welding Quality of Co-Cr and Ni-Cr Base Metal Alloys

The purpose of this research was to study the effect of Argon inert gas on the laser welding quality of Co-Cr and Ni-Cr base metal alloys, which are widely used as Fixed Prosthodontics alloys in Dental Laboratories. A total of 36 specimens were manufactured (18 of Ni-Cr alloy and 18 of Co-Cr alloy). The specimens were then divided into 3 subgroups (6 specimens each): control;argon-welded;and non-Argon welded. The specimens were cut, laser welded, radiographed and finally tested under tensile strength testing, followed by examination using Scanning Electron Microscopy. The tensile strength of welded specimens was lower than the strength of non-welded specimens, however this difference was not found to be statistically significant. The material factor (Co-Cr alloy or Ni-Cr alloy) has a statistically significant effect on the tensile strength, while the presence or not of the inert gas, as well as the combination of the two factors do not have a statistically significant effect. The laser welding process applied in daily practice (separation of specimen, formation of two cones in contact, aggregation of two cones, filling of the remaining gap by welding) is considered satisfactory in terms of weld strength. The factor of the material, as an independent factor, affects the tensile strength to a statistically significant degree, in contrast to the factor of the presence of inert gas which does not affect to a statistically significant degree.

32Cr3Mo1V表面激光熔覆TiC/钴基高温合金组织和性能研究

针对铝热轧辊套表面因高温摩擦磨损失效的问题,采用同轴送粉式激光熔覆在32Cr3Mo1V表面制备不同质量分数(0%、5%、10%、15%)TiC/Co-08高温耐磨熔覆涂层。分析了该熔覆层的显微组织形貌、相组成及微区成分;测试了显微硬度、高温摩擦磨损性能。结果表明,Co-08涂层主要由γ-Co及晶间碳化物组成,其磨损形式为氧化磨损和磨粒磨损。TiC添加量为5%时,晶间组织碳化物含量减少,涂层中Fe元素含量升高,涂层显微硬度降低,摩擦系数有所升高,磨损形式为粘着磨损和磨粒磨损。TiC含量≥10%时,晶间碳化物含量升高,涂层中析出细小的TiC颗粒,有效提高了涂层的显微硬度,其摩擦系数也明显降低,磨损机制主要为氧化磨损及轻微的磨粒磨损。当TiC添加量为5%时,涂层显微组织变得粗大且显微硬度及高温耐磨性均降低。随着TiC含量的继续增加,涂层中重新析出小尺寸TiC增强体,且晶间碳化物含量也有所上升,其显微硬度及高温耐磨性也随TiC含量的增加而升高。在TiC含量≥10%时,TiC/Co-08复合涂层具有良好的高温耐磨性。

Microstructure and property of sub-micro WC-10 %Co particulate reinforced Cu matrix composites prepared by selective laser sintering

The WC-10%Co particulate reinforced Cu matrix composite material with a WC-Co∶Cu mass ratio of 20∶80 was successfully fabricated by selective laser sintering(SLS) process. The following optimal processing parameters were used: laser power of 700 W, scan speed of 0.06 m/s, scan line spacing of 0.15 mm, and powder layer thickness of 0.3 mm. The microstructure, composition, and phase of the laser processed material were investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD), and energy dispersive X-ray(EDX) spectroscopy. The results show that the bonding mechanism of this process is liquid phase sintering. The Cu and Co act as the binder phase, while the WC acts as the reinforcing phase. The non-equilibrium effects induced by laser melting, such as high degrees of undercooling and high solidification rate, result in the formation of a metastable phase CoC0.25. The WC reinforcing particulates typically have three kinds of morphology. They are agglomerated and undissolved, incompletely separated and partially dissolved, separated and dissolved, which indicates that particle rearrangement acts as the dominant sintering mechanism for the larger WC, while dissolution-precipitation prevails for the smaller WC particles. Microhardness tester was used to determine the Vickers hardness across the cross-section of the laser sintered sample, with the average value being HV0.1268.5. However, the hardness varied considerably, which might be attributed to the WC segregation and the high solidification rate experienced by the molten pool.
