The crystal structure, lattice strain, grain size and lattice constant of the Ni-Fe alloy coatings were studied by X-ray diffraction technique. The chemical composition and surface morphology of the FCC Ni-Fe alloy coatings were investigated with the energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy（EDS） and atomic force microscopy（AFM）. The results show that the Fe content of the Ni-Fe alloy coatings has a great influence on the preferred orientation, grain size, lattice constant and lattice strain. FCC Ni-Fe alloy coatings exhibit preferred orientations of（200） or（200）（111）. With an increase of Fe content, the preferred growth orientation of（200） plane is weakened gradually, while the preferred growth orientation of（111） increases. An increase of the Fe content in the range of 1.3%-25%（mass fraction） results in a significant grain refinement of the coatings. Increasing the Fe content beyond 25% does not decrease the grain size of FCC Ni-Fe alloys further. The lattice strain increases with increasing the Fe content in the FCC Ni-Fe alloys. Since the alloys with Fe content not less than 25% has similar grain size（~11 nm）, the increase in the lattice strain with the increase of Fe content cannot be attributed to the change in the grain size.展开更多

NiFe2O4 spinel with MnO2 was made by solid-phase reaction at 1200℃ for 6 h. XRD were carried out and the effects of MnO2 on density, conductivity and corrosion resistance were measured. XRD shows when MnO2 was added no new phases exist and MnO2 and NiFe2O4 formed solid solution; Mn 4+ replaced parts of Fe 3+ and the sample still had the structure of NiFe2O4 spinel. The crystal lattice of NiFe2O4 spinel became aberrated when MnO2 was added, which can promote sintering, and improve density. Because Mn 4+ replaces parts of Fe 3+ and produces conduction electron, which can improve conductivity. The corrosion resistance of the samples was enhanced. When MnO2 is 1.0%, the sample’s corrosion rate is 1/5 of that of the sample without MnO2. The reason is that Al2O3 in the melt reacts with Mn 4+ in the sample to produce MnAl2O4. MnAl2O4 forms a dense protecting coat, which can prevent melt from eroding further. Because the key problem with inert anodes is anode corrosion, so we consider the optimal amount of MnO2 is 1.0%.展开更多
