Three Ti-6Al-4V alloy powders with median diameters of 103, 66 and 44 pm, respectively, were pressed by high-velocity compaction （HVC） technology and then sintered in vacuum. The effects of particle sizes on forming...Three Ti-6Al-4V alloy powders with median diameters of 103, 66 and 44 pm, respectively, were pressed by high-velocity compaction （HVC） technology and then sintered in vacuum. The effects of particle sizes on forming as well as properties of sintered samples were investigated. The results show that fine powders are more difficult to press than coarse powders and its compact density is lower too. But the sintered density of fine powders is obviously higher than that of coarse powders. Compared with the powders with 103 and 66 ~un in diameter, the green density with 44 ~rn diameter powders is lower, which is 85.1% of theoretical density （TD） at an impact energy of 913 J. After sintering at 1300 ~C for 2,5 h, the sintered density of the compacts with 44 pm diameter powders is the highest, and reaches 98.2% of TD. Moreover, the sintered sample with 44 pan in diameter has the highest hardness and compressive strength, which are HV 354 and 1265 MPa, respectively.展开更多

Scanning electron microscopy(SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) were employed to characterize the morphology and composition of the films fabricated in the electrolytes with and without addition of Si C nanoparticles. Results show that Si C particles can be successfully incorporated into the oxide film during the anodizing process and preferentially concentrate within internal cavities and micro-cracks. The ball-on-disk sliding tests indicate that Si C-containing oxide films register much lower wear rate than the oxide films without Si C under dry sliding condition. Si C particles are likely to melt and then are oxidized by frictional heat during sliding tests. Potentiodynamic polarization behavior reveals that the anodized alloy with Si C nanoparticles results in a reduction in passive current density to about 1.54×10-8 A/cm2, which is more than two times lower than that of the Ti O2 film(3.73×10-8 A/cm2). The synthesized composite film has good anti-wear and anti-corrosion properties and the growth mechanism of nanocomposite film is also discussed.展开更多
