Preparation and Properties of Y_(2)O_(3)-PF Alternating Coating on Polymer Matrix Composite Material Surface

High-performance yttrium oxide-phenolic resin(Y_(2)O_(3)-PF)alternating coating was prepared on epoxy resin-based composite material using supersonic plasma spraying and dual-channel powder feeding technique.Y_(2)O_(3)-coated PF(Y_(2)O_(3)/PF)powder was firstly sprayed onto the substrate,forming a transition layer,and then the spherical Y_(2)O_(3) powder and Y_(2)O_(3)/PF powder were alternately deposited to form the composite alternating coating.Results show that the alternating coating is mainly composed of deposited Y_(2)O_(3)/PF powder.The bonding strength between coating and substrate is as high as 26.48 MPa with the single-test maximum bonding strength of 28.10 MPa,and shear strength reaches 24.30 MPa.Additionally,the heat transfer effect caused by external Y_(2)O_(3) particles gradually softens and even melts PF,thus effectively avoiding the damage of high temperature to molecular structure and thereby promoting the crosslinking and curing effects of resin during the deposition process.In the meantime,the unmelted Y_(2)O_(3) powder results in the shot peening effect,which washes out and eliminates the powder particles with inferior deposition effect,ultimately improving the physical and chemical properties of the alternating coating.

Damping of Ni–Mn–Ga epoxy resin composites

By combining the advantages of effcient damping and high mechanical properties,Ni-Mn-Ga particle composites have a very good prospect for applications in damping structure design.In this paper,a ferromagnetic shape memory alloy Ni-Mn-Ga composite is prepared.Ni-Mn-Ga particle/bisphenol-A epoxy composite cantilever beam vibration tests under a magnetic feld and without the magnetic feld are conducted to analyze the structural damping ratios n.Meanwhile,the damping characteristics of the Ni-Mn-Ga composite are studied through the axial loading-unloading method and the acoustic emission signals method.The damping coeffcient of the composite for different Ni-Mn-Ga volume fractions is obtained.The interface properties of the composite are discussed by micro examination and axial loading.The relationships between the damping of the composite and that of the component materials are discussed.The specifc damping capacity（SDC）and acoustic emission counts diagram of different specimens with different Ni-Mn-Ga volume fractions are analyzed.
