Microstructure and high-temperature properties of the TiN coated samples were studied by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, energy dispersive spectrometer （EDS）, X-ray diffraction meter （XRD）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, heat treatment furnace and autoclaves, respectively. The x value of the TiN coatings （TiN） ranges from 0.96 to 1.33. After the introduction of N2, TiN coating exhibits a weak （200） plane and a preferred （111） orientation. The coating prepared with an N2 flow ratio of 15% shows an optimal oxidation resistance in the atmospheric environment at 800 ℃. In either 1 200 ℃ steam environment for one hour, or deionized water at 360 ℃ and a pressure of 18.6 Mpa for 16 d, the opitimized TiN coated samples have no delamination or spallation; and the gains in the masses of samples are much smaller than Zr-4 alloy. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the optimized TiN coating as the protective coating on the Zr-4 alloy under extreme conditons.展开更多

The result shows that the microstructure evolution is strongly affected by the thermal history of LAM process. Primary α (αp) with different morphologies, secondary α (αs) and martensite α' can be observed at different positions of the LAMed specimen. Annealing treatment can promote the precipitation of rib-like α phase or acicular α phase. As a result, it can increase or decrease the microhardness. The as-deposited L-direction and T-direction specimens contain the same phase constituent with different morphologies. The tensile properties of the as-deposited LAMed specimens are characterized of anisotropy. The L-direction specimen shows the character of low strength but high ductility when compared with the T-direction specimen. After annealing treatment, the strength of L-direction specimen increases significantly while the ductility reduces. The strength of the annealed T-direction specimen changes little, however, the ductility reduces nearly by 50%.展开更多
