Several different conditions were studied under simulated boiler conditions at 650 ℃. The protection effect of an Al coating deposited by HVAS onto the Ni-Cr coating was also investigated. Microscope, X-ray diffraction and corrosion rate curves have been used to analyze corrosion mechanisms. The experimental results show that: 1) The oxidation rates are almost superposed in both air (no SO3) and in simulated coal-fired gas (containing SO3) as long as no salt was present on the surface. These rate curves show a logarithmic relationship. 2) When the surface is coated with salt (75%K2SO3 + 25%Na2SO3) the rate curve for LTHC of the Ni-Cr coated surface shows a parabolic shape in the simulated coal-fire flue gas. In air only the oxidation reaction takes place, the second type of LTHC was not seen. And 3) the Al over coating on the Ni-Cr enhances resistance to LTHC because an inter-metallic compound, Al3Ni2, forms at the Al/Ni-Cr interface and because of the increase in coating thickness.展开更多

The main objective was to study the effect of pattern coating thickness on casting imperfection and porosity percentage as well as eutectic silicon spacing of the alloy. The results showed that increasing slurry viscosity and flask dipping time influenced the casting integrity and microstructural characteristics. It was found that thinner pattern coating produced improved mould filling, refined microstructure and higher quality castings containing less porosity.展开更多

It has been found that the effect of attapulgite clay on sorption capacity is the largest among coating constituents. The sorption capacity of the coating with 2% attapulgite clay is elevated by 81%. The relationship between casting porosity and coating sorption capacity has been studied. It has been pointed out that higher coating sorption capacity for polystyrene decomposition products is helpful to decrease the casting porosity. Results also show that the sorption capacity of self-developed HW-1 coating for polystyrene decomposition products is as good as that of Ashland coating from America.展开更多

The comparative experimental studies of radiation properties of both matrices without and with ceramic coating (alumina) were carried out. Measurement was conducted in different spectral ranges. The experimental results were compared with theoretical calculations. It was shown that the integral radiation efficiency of the matrix with ceramic coating was comparable with radiation efficiency of the matrix without any coating in the wide range of the firing rate and surpassed it on 30% - 40% at firing rate above 50 W/cm2.展开更多

The microstructures and phase compositions of the coated carbon foams were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, respectively. Oxidation resistances of uncoated and coated boron-modified carbon foams were investigated at 873 K in air. The results showed that as-received B2O3 coating could protect boron-modified carbon foams from oxidation at 873 K. B2O3-coated carbon foam doped with 7% B2O3 (mass fraction) (BO-7) had better oxidation resistance, exhibiting mass loss of 17.40% after oxidation at 873 K for 120 min. The melting glass layer formed on the surface of BO-7 could prevent oxygen from diffusing into boron-modified carbon foams substrate during oxidation to some extent.展开更多

The study depicts the mass gain kinetics and magnetic properties of uncoated and NiCr-modified magnets oxidized at high temperature(500 ℃) in air for 200 h. The oxidation test results illustrate that the mass gain of uncoated magnet is6.95 mg·cm^(-2) which is more than that(0.08 mg·cm^(-2)) of coated magnet after 200 h. For the magnetic properties concerned, there is a great loss for uncoated magnet, while for coated magnet, magnetic properties do not change much. The study of uncoated magnet through X-ray diffraction(XRD) and electron probe microanalysis(EPMA) shows that the invasion of oxygen at high temperature leads to the loss of magnetic properties by changing the microstructure of magnet.展开更多

As the temperature and kinetic energy of Zn vapor varied along the tubular system, a spatial variation of preparation conditions was created and the obtained coatings were found to follow two growth mechanisms: a thermal diffusion pattern in high-temperature zone and the a relatively low-temperature deposition model. AZn-based deposition coating with dense texture and nearly uniform structure was acquired while Mg foam was placed 20 cm far from the evaporation source, where the Zn vapor deposition model dominated the coating growth.Mechanical properties and bio-corrosion behaviors of the samples were investigated. Results showed that the Zn coatings brought dramatic improvements in compression strength, but exhibited differently in biodegradation performance. It was confirmed that the diffusion layer accelerated corrosion of Mg foam due to the galvanic effect, while the Zn-based deposition coating displayed excellent anti-corrosion performance, showing great potential as bone implant materials. This technique provides a novel and convenient approach to tailor the biodegradability of Mg foams for biomedical applications.展开更多
