In this paper, by means of SMAT to a pure zirconium plate at the room temperature, repetitive multidirectional peening of steel shots (composition (wt%): 1C, l.SCr, base Fe) severely deformed the surface layer. A NC surface layer consisting of the intermetallic compound FeCr was fabricated on the surface of the zirconium. The microstructure characterization of the surface layer was performed by using X-ray diffraction analysis, optical microscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy observations. The NC surface layer was about 25 urn thick and consisted of the intermetallic compound FeCr with an average grain size of 25±10 nm. The deformation-induced fast diffusion of Fe and Cr from the steel shots into Zr occurred during SMAT, leading to the formation of intermetallic compound. In addition, the NC surface layer exhibited an ultrahigh nanohardness of 10.2 GPa.展开更多

The results show that the compound layer of plasma nitriding can delay the nucleation of heat cracks and hold back the propagation of heat cracks from surface to substrate because of its high hardness and strength. On the other land, the heat checking expands faster with the compound layer on the surface than that without it. After 3000 cycles of thermal fatigue test, both heat cracks with the compound layer are wider than the another without compound layer and the number of heat cracks of the former is more from the view of cross section.展开更多

The surface of solid steel plate was defatted, descaled, immersed (in K2ZrF6 flux aqueous solution) and stoved. In order to determine the thickness of Fe-A1 compound layer at the interface of steel-aluminum solid to liquid bonding under rapid solidification, the interface of bonding plate was investigated by SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) experiment. The relationship between bonding parameters (such as preheat temperature of steel plate, temperature of aluminum liquid and bonding time) and thickness of Fe-Al compound layer at the interface was established by artificial neural networks (ANN) perfectly. The maximum of relative error between the output and the desired output of the ANN is only 5.4%. From the bonding parameters for the largest interfacial shear strength of bonding plate (226℃ for preheat temperature of steel plate, 723 ℃ for temperature of aluminum liquid and 15.8 s for bonding time), the reasonable thickness of Fe-A1 compound layer 10.8 μm was got.展开更多

The results show that when the thickness of the metal layer becomes smaller, the orbital magnetism of the charged particl es which collide with the wall of the metal layer is to vary from diamagnetism t o paramagnetism. The smaller the thickness of the metal layer becomes, the more particles will collide with the boundary of the metal layer, and then the parama gnetism becomes stronger. Finally, when the thickness of the metal layer becomes very small (<100 nm), all of the orbital diamagnetism will reverse to paramagn etism, and then the paramagnetization will be almost a maximum constant.展开更多

Our original preparation process of FSM of HA had three steps: The first was the deposition of HA layer on sacrificial layer of solvent-soluble materials, the second was separation of FSM of HA by means of dissolution of sacrificial layer, and the third was post-annealing to crystallize FSM of HA. To date, the post-annealing process was a serious bottleneck of productivity owing to its too long time. In this short report, we proposed a novel sacrificial layer, heatproof and water-soluble Ba-compound, which makes the direct deposition of crystallized HA possible due to its heatproof property because the problem on the original process was that the previous sacrificial layers have no heatproof property and HA layer should be deposited as amorphous. We can deposit the Ba-compound sacrificial layer only in 1 hour followed with the direct deposition of crystallized HA layer, substituting the 20 hours of post-annealing. The FSM of HA was separated successfully from the substrate by means of dissolution of Ba-compound with water. Our novel process can shrink the process time by 19 hours.展开更多

During the laser cladding, Ti and Ni powders were blown into the melting pool by a six-hole coaxial nozzle powder injection system. Exothermic reactions between Ti and Ni took place in the melting pool, and a cladding layer of titanium nickel intermetallic compounds was produced. Laser nitriding in a nitrogen-rich atmosphere followed the production of the cladding layer, and formed a golden yellow TiN layer over it. An optical and a scanning electron microscope were used to investigate the microstructures and measure the thicknesses of the cladding layer and the TiN layer. Phase identification was carried out by XRD. For the nitriding sample, the microhardness profile of the clad layer was tested. The optimal process parameters of the in situ synthesis of titanium nickel intermetallic compounds were obtained.展开更多
