The effects of activators on the coating of diamond were firstly investigated and diamond grinding wheels were then prepared from Ni-coated diamond composite powders with different activators. The microstructural characterizations of this composite powders were finally conducted by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction, and the mechanical and tribological properties of as-prepared diamond grinding wheels were also measured. There are changes in microstructures and properties of the composite powders with activators. The activator concentration also has an influence on the morphologies and phase structures of the Ni coating on diamond particles.The composite powders with more compact coating of nickel can be prepared by adding 1 g dm^（-3） or more AgNO_3 as an activator to electrodeposit nickel on diamond. The mechanical and tribological properties of diamond grinding wheels were significantly improved when the coating phase structure of Ni crystal grew with（111） plane orientation on the surface of diamond particles. The wheels made from nickel coated diamond composite powders possessed the advantages of easy preparation and outstanding tribological properties. Therefore, Ni coated diamond composite powders exhibit a great potential to be extensively applied in diamond cutting and grinding tools.展开更多

XRD analysis shows that α Al 2O 3 phase may be directly transformed from amorphous in calcining the hydroxide composite. The ZrO 2 Al 2O 3 composite ceramics manufactured from this powder has the maximum fracture toughness of 9 MPa·m -1/2 at 15% ZrO 2 and 740 MPa fracture strength at 5% ZrO 2. Zirconia grains about 1 μm in diameter are dispersed uniformly in the alumina ceramic matrix.展开更多

SEM images illustrate that the samples are submicron-sized particles and the particle sizes increase with the increase of Ni content.LiNi0.85Co0.075Mn0.075O2 delivers a discharge capacity of 174.9 mAh g-1 with holding 93% reversible capacity at 1 C after 80 cycles, and can maintain a discharge capacity of 175.3 mAh g-1 at 5 C rate. With increasing Ni content, the initial specific capacity increases while the cycling and rate performance degrades in some extent. These satisfying results demonstrate that spray pyrolysis is a powerful and efficient synthesis technology for producing Ni-rich layered cathode（Ni content 〉 80%）.展开更多

ZrO2 - nitrides composite powder was synthesized through carbothermal reduction and nitridation （CRN） of zircon. The effect of ZrO2 - nitrides composite powder addition on oxidation resistance of the Al2O3 - C refractories was investigated by measuring the thickness of oxidation layer. Phase compositions of the Al2O3 - C refractories before and after oxidation were investigated by X-ray diffraction （ XRD ）. Results show that the oxidation resistance of the Al2O3 - C refractories can be obviously improved by adding the synthesized ZrO2 - nitrides composite powder. The formation of mullite and zircon in the oxidation layer results in the densification of oxidation layer, which prevents oxygen diffusion and bnproves the oxidation resistance of the Al2O3 - C refractories.展开更多

Oxidation resistance and thermal shock resistance were researched, phase composition was analyzed by XRD. The results showed that the oxidation of SiC in additives could protect carbon in specimens effectively and thus decreased the mass loss ratio and oxidation area, and improved the oxidation resistance of the specimen. Thermal shock resistance was improved owing to the micro crack toughening of ZrO2 and grain toughening of SiC. In this experiment, the specimens with 6 wt% ZrO2 -SiC composite powder or 6 wt% SiC powder had the best oxidation resistance and thermal shock resistance.展开更多
