The long-term corrosion behavior of the FeCrSiBMn coating was evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) tests in a 3.5% NaCl solution with a hard chromium coating as a reference. The FeCrSiBMn coating exhibited higher corrosion potential and lower corrosion current density than the hard chromium coating. The pore resistance(Rp) and charge transfer resistance(Rct) of FeCrSiBMn coating were higher than those of the hard chromium coating. In addition, after immersion in the Na Cl solution for 28 d, only small pores in the FeCrSiBMn coating were observed. All the results indicated that the FeCrSiBMn coating held superior corrosion resistance to the hard chromium coating. This could be attributed to the dense structure, low porosity and amorphous/nanocrystalline phases of the FeCrSiBMn coating.展开更多

Though there are many coating materials available to combat erosionecorrosion damage in the above components, iron based amorphous coatings are considered to be more effective to combat erosionecorrosion problems. High velocity oxy-fuel(HVOF)spray process is considered to be a better process to coat the iron based amorphous powders. In this investigation, iron based amorphous metallic coating was developed on 316 stainless steel substrate using HVOF spray technique. Empirical relationships were developed to predict the porosity and micro hardness of iron based amorphous coating incorporating HVOF spray parameters such as oxygen flow rate, fuel flow rate, powder feed rate, carrier gas flow rate, and spray distance. Response surface methodology(RSM) was used to identify the optimal HVOF spray parameters to attain coating with minimum porosity and maximum hardness.展开更多

Microstructural studies show that the composite coatings present a layered structure with low porosity due to adding the self-bonded Mo-based alloy. Corrosion behaviors of the composite coatings, the Fe-based coatings and the Mo-based coatings were in- vestigated by electrochemical measurements and salt spray tests. Electrochemical results show that the composite coatings exhibit a lower polarization current density and higher corrosion potentials than the Fe-based coating when tested in 3.5wt% NaC1 solutions, indicating supe- rior corrosion resistance compared with the Fe-based coating. Also with the increase in addition of the Mo-based alloy, a raised corrosion re- sistance, inferred by an increase in corrosion potential and a decrease in polarization current density, can be found. The results of salt spray tests again show that the corrosion resistance is enhanced by adding the Mo-based alloy, which helps to reduce the porosity of the composite coatings and enhance the stability of the passive films.展开更多

Corrosion behavior of the amorphous coatings was investigated by electrochemical measurement. The results show that the coatings exhibit extremely wide passive region and low passive current density in 3.5% NaCl (mass fraction) and 1 mol/L HCl solutions, which illustrates excellent ability to resist localized corrosion.展开更多

The results of the X- ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analyses .show the coating is composed of an amorphous phase in majority and a nanocrystaUine phuse in m,inority. Phase composition of the coating changes along the depth of the coating. The reasonable scanning speed for fabricating an amorphous composite coating is 3 500 mm/min when the laser power is 4 800 W and the laser beam diameter is 2 mm. If the scanning speed is lower than 3 500 mm/min, the intensity of the two main diffraction peaks in X-ray diffraction patterns of the coatings decreases with the scanning speeds increasing. At the same time, a broad halo peak emerges and enlarges. High laser power and fast scanning speed are the essential conditions of amorphization. The coating exhibits high microhardness.展开更多

The laser processing was conducted by the powder feeding method using low purity materials without shielding box. To learn the surface amorphous matrix coating forming mechanism, the coating without remelting process was also studied. The phases and microstructures were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning- and transmission-electron microscopy( SEM, TEM). The microhardness and corrosion resistance property of the coating were also measured. The results of SEM, XRD and TEM analysis show that the remelted coating has an amorphous matrix layer embedded with some crystals due to high cooling rate during remelting process. The crystals phases are identified as Fe2 B phase, γ (Fe, Ni ) phase and α- Fe phase. No oxidation phases are found in the coating surface. Hardness profiles reveal microhardness more than 1 100 HVo.5 over the full depth of the amorphous matrix layer, while the unremtled coating and the substrate show relatively lower hardness than the remelted layer. Corrosion resistance tests exhibit that the remelted coating is nobler than the unremelted coating and the substrate material.展开更多

Furthermore, a formation mechanism of amorphous PEO coatings was proposed.
文摘An evident improvement on activation properties of hydrogen storage was made by sput- tering an amorphous coating of commercial Si on TiFe alloy.SEM observation revealed an obvious difference between the morphologies before and after hydrogen storage for TiFe alloy with or without amorphous Si coating.It is believed that this may be quite a developable hydrogen storage material.
文摘In this paper, alloy powders mixed with a molar ratio of Fe : P : C of 80 : 13 : 7 were sprayed on Q235 steel by plasma spray method to prepare coating with amorphous phases. The phase composition of the mixed alloy powders and prepared coating were characterized by X-ray diffraction ( XRD ). The morphology and the composition cf the coating were analyzed by scanning eleetron microscopy (SEM) nnd energy dispersive apectroscopy ( EDS ). In addition, the thermal stability ef the coating with amorphous phases was characterized by differential thermal analyzer ( DTA ). Tile results showed that, usirtg mixed alloy powders with a molar ratio of Fe: P: C of 80:13:7, the coating containing certain amount of amorphous alloys was suceessathlly prepared through atmospheric plasma spray technique. In the coating, the main phases were determined to be Fe, FeP aad Fe2P. The crystallization of the coating started from about 461°. Tile coating was mechanically adhered to the substrate.

文摘Ni34.1 Fe27.9B18 Si18 Nb2 coating was deposited on mild steel substrate using high power laser cladding followed by laser remelting process. The laser processing was conducted by the powder feeding method using low purity materials without shielding box. To learn the surface amorphous matrix coating forming mechanism, the coating without remelting process was also studied. The phases and microstructures were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning- and transmission-electron microscopy( SEM, TEM). The microhardness and corrosion resistance property of the coating were also measured. The results of SEM, XRD and TEM analysis show that the remelted coating has an amorphous matrix layer embedded with some crystals due to high cooling rate during remelting process. The crystals phases are identified as Fe2 B phase, γ (Fe, Ni ) phase and α- Fe phase. No oxidation phases are found in the coating surface. Hardness profiles reveal microhardness more than 1 100 HVo.5 over the full depth of the amorphous matrix layer, while the unremtled coating and the substrate show relatively lower hardness than the remelted layer. Corrosion resistance tests exhibit that the remelted coating is nobler than the unremelted coating and the substrate material.

文摘The effects of kerosene flow rate on the microstructure and wearing properties were investigated for Fe-based amorphous coatings sprayed by High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF).The microstructures and wearing properties of the Fe-based amorphous coatings were analyzed with scanning electron microscope (SEM),X-ray diffraction analyzer (XRD),and ball-on-disc tribometer (CFT-1),respectively.The experimental results show that the well interfacial bonding can be observed between the amorphous coating layer and the substrate,and the porosity in amorphous coating layer is less to 1%.Only some crystalline a-Fe and FeO phases can be detected by XRD in the amorphous coatings,while the amorphous content is up to 99.4%.The wearing coefficient is near to 0.15,which is superior to SUS316 of 0.28.As the increasing of wearing loads,the failure mode is changed from oxidation wear to the composite of oxidation and abrasive wear.
文摘A new type of high-chromium iron-base coating was fabricated on substrate of hardened and tempered grade C steel by plasma cladding with Fe-Cr-C alloy powders. The coating has fine microstructure and is metallurgically bonded to the grade C steel substrate. The corrosion resistance of the coating in solutions of 0. 5 mol/L H2SO4 , 3.5 % NaCl and seawater was evaluated utilizing the electrochemical polarization corrosion-test method. Because of the inherent excellent corrosion- resisting properties of the constituting phase and the fine microstucture, the plasma clad coating exhibits excellent corrosion resistance in the water solutions of 0. 5 mol/L H2S04, 3.5% NaCl and seawater.

文摘(Zr_(0.53)Al_(0.1)Ni_(0.05)Cu_(0.3)Ti_(0.02))_(99)Y_1(at%)coating with amorphous layer of about 180μm thick was prepared on a steel substrate by using laser cladding method.The coating is compact and shows good metallurgical bonding with substrate.The microstructure,microhardness and corrosion behavior along the depth from the coating surface to the substrate were investigated.It is found that a gradient structure consisted of amorphous surface layer,amorphous-crystalline transitional layer and substrate is formed after the laser cladding.The microhardness and corrosion behavior exhibit variation with the microstructural evolution at different depths from the coating surface.The microhardness and corrosion resistance in 3.5 wt%NaCl solution of the amorphous surface layer are comparable to those of the as-cast Zr-based BMG with the same composition,and higher than those of the steel substrate.
