Competitive oxidation behavior of Ni-based superalloy GH4738 at extreme temperature

A high thrust-to-weight ratio poses challenges to the high-temperature performance of Ni-based superalloys. The oxidation behavior of GH4738 at extreme temperatures has been investigated by isothermal and non-isothermal experiments. As a result of the competitive diffusion of alloying elements, the oxide scale included an outermost porous oxide layer (OOL), an inner relatively dense oxide layer (IOL), and an internal oxide zone (IOZ), depending on the temperature and time. A high temperature led to the formation of large voids at the IOL/IOZ interface. At 1200℃, the continuity of the Cr-rich oxide layer in the IOL was destroyed, and thus, spallation occurred. Extension of oxidation time contributed to the size of Al-rich oxide particles with the increase in the IOZ. Based on this finding,the oxidation kinetics of GH4738 was discussed, and the corresponding oxidation behavior at 900-1100℃ was predicted.

Improving corrosion resistance of additively manufactured WE43 magnesium alloy by high temperature oxidation for biodegradable applications

Laser powder bed fusion(L-PBF)has been employed to additively manufacture WE43 magnesium(Mg)alloy biodegradable implants,but WE43 L-PBF samples exhibit excessively rapid corrosion.In this work,dense WE43 L-PBF samples were built with the relativity density reaching 99.9%.High temperature oxidation was performed on the L-PBF samples in circulating air via various heating temperatures and holding durations.The oxidation and diffusion at the elevated temperature generated a gradient structure composed of an oxide layer at the surface,a transition layer in the middle and the matrix.The oxide layer consisted of rare earth(RE)oxides,and became dense and thick with increasing the holding duration.The matrix was composed ofα-Mg,RE oxides and Mg_(24)RE_(5) precipitates.The precipitates almost disappeared in the transition layer.Enhanced passivation effect was observed in the samples treated by a suitable high temperature oxidation.The original L-PBF samples lost 40%weight after 3-day immersion in Hank’s solution,and broke into fragments after 7-day immersion.The casted and solution treated samples lost roughly half of the weight after 28-day immersion.The high temperature oxidation samples,which were heated at 525℃ for 8 h,kept the structural integrity,and lost only 6.88%weight after 28-day immersion.The substantially improved corrosion resistance was contributed to the gradient structure at the surface.On one hand,the outmost dense layer of RE oxides isolated the corrosive medium;on the other hand,the transition layer considerably inhibited the corrosion owing to the lack of precipitates.Overall,high temperature oxidation provides an efficient,economic and safe approach to inhibit the corrosion of WE43 L-PBF samples,and has promising prospects for future clinical applications.

Effect of Rare Earth Doping on the Tensile Properties of High Temperature Oxidation Coating

The failure process was characterized by complex diffusion of elements in the bonding layer,TGO growth and growth stress inside the coating.We studied the aluminum migration phenomenon of NiCoCrAlY and NiCoCrAlYHf coatings under high temperature oxidation,TGO growth characteristics,the microstructure and composition of the bonding layer,and integrates them into the description of the surface strain under coating tension.The experimental results show that the TGO growth rate of NiCoCrAIYHf coating is lower than that of NiCoCrAIY coating,and the formed TGO is thinner.After high temperature oxidation,the cracking time of NiCoCrAIY coating is advanced,while the cracking time of rare earth doped coating is delayed.The addition of rare earth elements can effectively inhibit the generation of spinel phase,improve the fracture toughness of TGO,refine the grains in the bonding layer,and increase the grain boundary strengthening by 29.1 MPa which is consistent with the experimental value.Therefore,the yield strength of the doped coating is improved and the crack time of the coating is delayed.

Amine-functionalized metal organic framework@graphene oxide as filler in PAEK-containing carboxyl group membrane for ultrafiltration with ultra-high permeability and strong fouling resistance

Achieving high fouling resistance and permeability using membrane separation technology in water treatment processes remains a challenge.In this work,a novel mixed-matrix membrane(MMM)(poly(arylene ether ketone)[PAEK]-containing carboxyl groups[PAEK-COOH]/UiO-66-NH_(2)@graphene oxide[GO])with superb fouling resistance and high permeability was prepared by the nonsolvent-induced phase separation method,by in-situ growth of UiO-66-NH_(2) on the GO layer,and by preparing hydrophilic PAEK-COOH.On the basis of the structure and performance analysis of the MMM,the maximum water flux reached 591.25 L·m^(-2)·h^(-1) for PAEK-COOH/UiO-66-NH_(2)@GO,whereas the retention rate for bovine serum albumin increased from 85.40%to 94.87%.As the loading gradually increased,the hydrophilicity of the MMMs increased,significantly enhancing their fouling resistance.The strongest anti-fouling ability observed was 94.74%,which was 2.02 times greater than that of the pure membrane.At the same time,the MMMs contained internal amide and hydrogen bonds during the preparation process,forming a cross-linked structure,which further enhanced the mechanical strength and chemical stability.In summary,the MMMs with high retention rate,strong permeability,and anti-fouling ability were successfully prepared.

Temperature Gradient Analyses of a Tubular Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Fueled by Methanol

Thermal management in solid oxide fuel cells(SOFC)is a critical issue due to non-uniform electrochemical reactions and convective fl ows within the cells.Therefore,a 2D mathematical model is established herein to investigate the thermal responses of a tubular methanol-fueled SOFC.Results show that unlike the low-temperature condition of 873 K,where the peak temperature gradient occurs at the cell center,it appears near the fuel inlet at 1073 K because of the rapid temperature rise induced by the elevated current density.Despite the large heat convection capacity,excessive air could not eff ectively eliminate the harmful temperature gradient caused by the large current density.Thus,optimal control of the current density by properly selecting the operating potential could generate a local thermal neutral state.Interestingly,the maximum axial temperature gradient could be reduced by about 18%at 973 K and 20%at 1073 K when the air with a 5 K higher temperature is supplied.Additionally,despite the higher electrochemical performance observed,the cell with a counter-fl ow arrange-ment featured by a larger hot area and higher maximum temperature gradients is not preferable for a ceramic SOFC system considering thermal durability.Overall,this study could provide insightful thermal information for the operating condition selection,structure design,and stability assessment of realistic SOFCs combined with their internal reforming process.

Environmentally Friendly Room Temperature Synthesis of 1-Tetralone over Layered Double Hydroxide-Hosted Sulphonato-Salen-Nickel(II) Complex

1-Tetralone, a useful synthetic intermediate in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and dyes, can be prepared by liquid phase catalytic oxidation of tetralin. Selective oxidation of tetralin to 1-tetralone is still a big challenge with low-temperature processes using environmentally friendly routes even after decades of research. Herein, we demonstrate room-temperature oxidation of tetralin to 1-tetralone over layered double hydroxide-hosted sulphonato-salen-nickel(II) complex, LDH-[Ni-salen]. The layered double hydroxide-hosted sulphonato-salen-nickel(II) compound was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), UV-Visible diffuse reflectance spectra, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and elemental analysis. The theoretical calculations of free sulphonato-salen-nickel(II) complex using Density Functional Theory/CAM-B3LYP at the 6-311++ G(d,p) level of theory were also used to determine the orientation of the Ni-salen compound within the layered structure. The immobilized compound, LDH-[Ni-salen] was found to be an effective reusable catalyst for the oxidation of tetralin to 1-tetralone using a combination of trimethylacetaldehyde and molecular oxygen (14.5 psi) and at 25°C. At 45.5% conversion, tetralin was converted to 1-tetralone with 77.2% selectivity at room temperature and atmospheric pressure after 24 h. The catalyst recycles test and hot filtration experiment showed that oxidation proceeded through Ni(II) sites in LDH-[Ni-salen]. The catalysts were reused several times without losing their catalytic activity and selectivity. The present results may provide a convenient strategy for the preparation of 1-tetralone using layered double hydroxide-based heterogeneous catalyst at ambient temperature for industrial application in near future.

Comparative Studies on Low Noise Greases Operating under High Temperature Oxidation Conditions

Oxidation induction time(OIT) testing by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) was used to evaluate the oxidation resistance of lubricating greases. Under the high temperature condition, bearing noise was detected when grease passed the initial stable stage of oxidation. The chemical and physical structure of grease samples before and after high temperature oxidation were also analyzed by FT-IR spectrometry and scanning electron microscopy(SEM), then the effects of oxidation at high temperature on bearing noise were investigated. It is found out that for lithium greases, oxidation of base oil and thickener is the main reason responsible for the increasing bearing noise. As regards the polyurea greases, the change of fiber microstructure at high temperature is the main reason for the increasing bearing noise.

The results show that the oxidation resistance of the alloy is substantially improved by adding proper amount of yttrium.

HIGH-TEMPERATURE OXIDATION OF FGH96 P/M SUPERALLOY

High temperature oxidation behaviors of FGH96 P/M superaUoy have been studied in air at temperatures ranging from 600 to 1000℃. By means of isothermal oxidation testing, X-ray diffraction, SEM （scanning electron microscopy）, and EDS （energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy） analyses, the oxidation kinetics as well as the composition and morphology of scales were investigated. Thermodynamic calculations were used to explain the oxidation mechanism. The results showed that as the oxidation temperature increased, the oxidation rate, the scale thickness, and scale spallation increased. FGH96 P/M superalloy exhibits good oxidation resistance at temperature below 800℃. The oxidation kinetics follows an approximately parabolic rate law, and the oxide layer was mainly composed of Cr2O3 TiO2 and a little amount of NiCr2O4. The oxidation is controlled by the transmission of chromium. titanium, and oxygen through the oxide scale.

An experimental study of the effect of ionic liquids on the low temperature oxidation of coal

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) and constant heating rate experiments were performed to study the low temperature oxidation of coal treated by an ionic liquid,1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride.The inerting effect of the ionic liquid toward the low temperature oxidation process is discussed.The results show that:(1) The hydroxyl content associated with hydrogen bonds,the aliphatic methyl content,the methylene group content,and the ether oxygen bond content are reduced in the treated coal.At the same time the content of aromatic C@C bonds is constant but these chemical bonds weaken and some substituted aromatic hydrocarbon content increases while other types decrease.This demonstrates that(AMIm)Cl dissolves and destroys the coal surface microstructure;(2) The oxygen consumption of the treated coal is less than what is seen in raw coal.The CO,CO 2,C 2 H 4,and C 2 H 6 content from the treated coal is reduced compared to the untreated coal;(3) The apparent activation energy for the oxidizing reaction is different in the treated and raw coals.Micro-structural changes and macroscopic gas production allow us to conclude that(AMIm)Cl can effectively inhibit low temperature oxidation of coal.

Protective Effect of the Sputtered TiAlCrAg Coating on the High-Temperature Oxidation and Hot Corrosion Resistance of Ti-Al-Nb Alloy

The effect of a sputtered Ti-48AI-8Cr-2Ag (at. pct) coating on the oxidation resistance of the cast Ti-46.5AI-5Nb (at. pct) alloy was investigated in air at 1000-1100℃. Hot corrosion in molten 75 wt pct Na2SO4+25 wt pct K2SO4 was investigated at 900℃. The scale on the cast TiAINb tends to spall in air, while the scale on coating is very adherent. The sputtered Ti-48AI-8Cr-2Ag coating remarkably improved high temperature oxidation resistance of the cast Ti-46.5AI-5Nb alloy because of the formation of an adherent Al2O3 scale. Due to the inward diffusion of Cr, Kirkendall voids were found at the coating/substrate interface. TiAICrAg coating provided excellent hot corrosion resistance for TiAINb alloy in molten 75 wt pct Na2SO4+25 wt pct K2S04 at 900℃ due to the formation of a continuous Al_2O_3 scale.

Preparation of Palladium Supported on Ferric Oxide Nano-catalysts for Carbon Monoxide Oxidation in Low Temperature

Catalytic property of Pd/Fe2O3 catalysts on carbon monoxide(CO) oxidation at low temperature were investigated in this paper. Both the as-prepared and H2-pretreated Pd/Fe2O3 catalysts show catalytic performances on CO oxidation. The CO was completely converted at 333 K for the as-prepared sample,whereas at 313 K for H2-pretreated Pd/Fe2O3-573 catalyst. The catalytic performance of the Pd/Fe2O3 catalyst decreases with increased calcination temperature. This may be due to the increased crystallinity of the support and decreased metal-support interaction. Progressive deactivation of the catalysts during long-time reaction was associated with the formation of carbonates on the catalyst surface that inhibits CO activation or intermediate transformation.

A Review on Complete Oxidation of Methane at Low Temperatures

This paper reviews recent developments in complete oxidation of methane atlow temperatures over noble metal catalysts in the past 20 years. The Pd/Al_2O_3 catalyst system isfully discussed. The review mainly focuses on the kinetic aspects of methane oxidation over thiscatalyst, and methane activation behavior over Pd and PdO phases (the form of PdO on the surface,transient behavior, the nature of the active sites, the influence of metal particle size and theirstructure sensitivities, and so on). Some Pd catalysts supported on other oxides besides the Al_2O_3support are briefly discussed. Possible routes of non-noble metal catalysts as substitutes for thePd catalyst are also proposed.

Interfacial Behavior of Sulfur and Yttrium in Yttrium Modified Ni _3Al Based Alloy IC6 during High Temperature Oxidation Process

The interfacial behavior of sulfur and yttrium in the yttrium modified Ni 3Al based alloy IC6 during oxidation at 1100 ℃ was analyzed by X ray line scan of electron probe microstructural analysis(EPMA). The results show that the migration and segregation of sulfur to the interface between oxide scale and the substrate at high temperature is retarded owing to the presence of yttrium. This is attributed to the desulfurization by yttrium in the melt and the trapping of sulfur by yttrium rich phases during oxidation, which leads to improving the coherence between oxide scale and substrate. Another reason of increasing the high temperature oxidation resistance of alloy IC6 by the addition of yttrium is that yttrium migrates to the grain boundaries of oxides during oxidation and hence improve their strength. This results in the transformation of the oxide scale spallation cracks from intergranular cracks for alloy without yttrium to transgranular ones for yttrium modified alloy.

Oxidation Behavior of Pd-Modified Aluminide Coating at High Temperature

(Ni,Pd)AI coating, prepared by low pressure pack cementation on the Ni-base superalloy M38 where Pd-20 wt pct Ni alloy was predeposited, consists of a single β-(Ni,Pd)AI phase. The initial isothermal oxidation behavior of (Ni,Pd)AI coating was investigated by TGA, XRD, SEM/EDS at 800-1100℃. Results show that oxidation kinetics accord preferably with parabolic law at 800, 900 and 1100℃, but not at 1000℃. θ-AI203 was observed at 800-1100℃. It is found that Pd plays an important role in accelerating the diffusion of Ti from the substrate to the coating surface in the aluminide coating.

Tribological property and high temperature oxidation behavior of Ni-based alloy

Ni-Cr based alloys were prepared by hot-pressing the mixture of strengthening phases Mo, Al, Ti, and lubricant phase MoS2. The hardness, tribological properties as well as the high temperature oxidation properties were evaluated, The results show that the strengthening phases can improve the mechanical properties of Ni-Cr based alloy obviously, and the wear and friction properties of Ni-based alloy with strengthening phase can be improved. Its friction coefficient and wear rate rubbed with Al2O3 ceramic disk are about 0.4 and 10 -14m3/（N·m）, respectively, and the oxidation process is mainly affected by Cr2O3.

High temperature oxidation behavior of high speed steel for hot rolls material

The oxidation characteristics of high speed steel (HSS) were studied at 500 to 800°C. The non-isothermal oxidation and isothermal oxidation (500, 575, 650, 725, 800°C) of HSS were investigated by thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA). The microstruc- ture, morphology and oxide scale thickness of the isothermal oxidation samples were analyzed by optical microscope (OM), electron probe micro analyzer (EPMA), X-ray diffraction spectrum (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results indicate that the oxidation rate of HSS is very slow at 500 to 650°C, increasing gradually at 650 to 750°C, and drastically at 750 to 800°C, be- cause the phase transformation happens at about 750°C.
