The surface morphology, microstructure, interfacial behavior between the coatings and substrate, phase and element composition of the coatings were investigated by scanning electron microscope ( SEM ) , X-ray diffraction ( XRD ) , X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy ( XPS ) and Auger electron spectroscopy ( AES ) . Microhardness profile was measured with a Vickers microhardness tester. The results show that metallurgical bond between the coating and substrate is realized and the phase of coatings are made up of Ti( CN ) spherocrystal and dendritic crystal, TiV and C. Ti( CN) ceramic particles, which is in-situ synthesized by the reaction among titanium from the substrate, carbon from the graphite electrode and nitrogen from the shielding nitrogen gas, is about 600 mn and distributes dispersively among the coatings. Microharduess profile falls off with the coatings thickness increasing and the highest microhardness values of the superficial coating could be up to 1 496HV, which is six times more than that of the substrate.展开更多

Principal changes in the surface layer are ascribed to the formation of gradient structure leading to the increase in wear resistance of the surface layer, drop of friction coefficient and improvement of specimen bending resistance when stressing on the irradiated surface side. The above changes of tribological and strength properties in the surface layer under pulsed electron irradiation become more apparent with increasing atomic mass of a plasma-forming inert gas.展开更多

The results showed that the trend on the distribution of residual stress field in the joints was not changed with the use of interlayer. The maximum residual stress was always located in metallic ceramic with area ranging from 1 mm to 4 mm to the interlayer. The maximum residual stress in the joints was also affected by diffusion temperature. The satellite pulse current during the initial stage on diffusion bonding can promote the formation of liquid film at the interface, by which diffusion temperature and loading pressure can be greatly decreased. The crack initiation was easily produced at the corner of Ti ( C, N) metallic ceramic close to the interlayer. If a higher residual stress produced in the joints, the crack was propagated into the whole ceramic.展开更多

TECs of the basic glass, which were heat-treated under different temperature, were also investigated. The result showed that TECs of the basic glass gradually approached a fixed value as the anneal time was extended, which suggested that most of the inner stress had been eliminated. After heat treatment, the contents of Dy2O3, Dy2Si2O7, and a new crystal increased up to 1200 ℃ and decreased below 1250 ℃, which was consistent with the TEC change of crystallized samples. This suggests that the crystal has a direct effect on TECs of the crystallized samples.展开更多

Three aspects were taken into account: the mushrooming deformation of the projectile, the fragment of ceramic tile and the formation and change of ceramic conoid and the deformation of the metal backup plate. Solving the set of equations, all the variables were obtained for the different impact velocities: the extent and particle velocity in rigid zone; the extent, cross-section area and particle velocity in plastic zone; the velocity and depth of penetration of projectile to the target; the reduction in volume and compressive strength of the fractured ceramic conoid; the displacement and movement velocity of the effective zone of backup plate. Agreement observed among analytical result, numerical simulation and experimental result confirms the validity of the model, suggesting the model developed can be a useful tool for ceramic/metal armor design.展开更多

The main purpose of this technique is to rapidly obtain the first prototypes of parts, for plastics injection, forging or any oth er manufacturing process using the tools produced by casting a metal into a cera mic mould. Briefly, it can be said that the ceramic moulds are produced by mixing in variab le proportions, depending on the type of ceramics employed, strength and roughne ss desired, a ceramic mixture composed by alumina and/or zirconium silicates bon ded with silica coming from a liquid binder, based on ethyl silicate. A catalyst is added to the slurry in order to produce a sol-gel reaction. The liquid slur ry is poured into the box containing the mould to be reproduced. After a short p eriod of time, controlled by the amount of gelling agent, the ceramic mixture ac quires a rubber consistency. The pattern is removed from the ceramic mould, whic h is fired to stop the gelation reaction. After this stabilization the ceramic m ould is sintered at high temperatures in order to generate an inert mould wi th the desired strength in which almost all metallic alloys can be cast. The effect of ceramic materials (shape, granulometric distribution, chemical com position, etc.), processing parameters (proportion binder/ceramic/catalyst, sint ering conditions, etc.) and casting conditions (mould pre-heating temperature a nd pouring temperature) were studied in order to obtain metallic moulds or tools with tailored properties (high dimensional accuracy, low roughness and high mec hanical strength).展开更多

ZrO2 and (Ce-TZP)+Al2O3 ceramic substrates. and further irradiated with pulsed excimer (Xeno chloride) laser pulses. The laser energy density was varied from 0.21 to 0.81 J / cm2 to optimize bending strength. For ZrO2 ceramic, it was found that the strength increases from 530 to 753 MPa at 0.51 J / cm2 irradiation. For Al2O3 and (Ce-TZP)+ Al2O3 the fracture strength also increases in varying degree. The causes of strength increment were discussed.展开更多

The microstructure was investigated via X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectrometry(EDS). Mechanical properties such as flexural strength, fracture toughness, and Vickers hardness were also measured. Results show that the main phases A12O3 and(W,Ti)C were detected by XRD. Compound Mo Ni also existed in sintered nanocomposites. The fracture modes of the nanocomposites were both intergranular and transgranular fractures. The plastic deformation of metal particles and crack bridging were the main toughening mechanisms. The maximum flexural strength and fracture toughness were obtained for 9vol% and 12vol% additions of Ni and Mo, respectively. The hardness of the composites reduced gradually with increasing content of metals Ni and Mo.展开更多

Al–Al_2O_3coatings were produced on the carbon steel pipe surface by cold spray(CS) technology. Experimental apparatus was built to test the corrosion resistance of coatings beneath mineral wool insulation under isothermal, thermal cycling and wet/dry conditions. The results showed that when α-Al_2O_3 was added in spraying powder, the coating could obtain higher hardness and a denser microstructure. From corrosionunder-insulation(CUI) tests, Al–Al_2O_3CS coatings were proven to be efficient in protecting carbon steel pipe from CUI mainly owning to lamellar microstructures of coatings. There was no evidence to show that α-Al_2O_3 might bring any negative effect on corrosion resistance. Al–Al_2O_3CS coatings were sensitive to the chloride ion concentration. When these coatings were exposed to higher concentrations of NaC l, the coating's exhibited faster degradation.展开更多

Both Ti- and C-terminated interfaces including six different interface structures were calculated, which present quite different features. For the Ti-terminated interface, the interfacial Ti-Ti bond has a strong metallic and weak covalent character; while for the C-terminated interface, the interfacial bond is a strong polar covalent interaction between the Ti-3d and C-2p orbital. The work of adhesion of C-terminated interface is nearly 9 J/m2 stronger than that of the Ti-terminated. It is found that each termination has relatively large work of adhesion, which is consistent with other polar interfaces.展开更多
The electronic structure, stability, chemical bonding and mechanical properties of 3d, 4d and 5d transition metal diboride TMB2 were investigated using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory....The electronic structure, stability, chemical bonding and mechanical properties of 3d, 4d and 5d transition metal diboride TMB2 were investigated using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. All the primary chemical bonds, i.e., metallic, ionic and covalent have contributions to the bonding of TMB2. The number of valence electrons of transition metals or the valence electron concentration(VEC) of TMB2 has strong effects on the lattice parameters, stability and mechanical properties of TMB2. Both lattice constants a and c decrease with VEC, but c decreases faster than a, which is attributed to the enhanced TM de B p(sp2) bonding. Bulk modulus B of TMB2 increases continuously with VEC due to the enhanced TM de B p(sp2) and TM dd bonding. Shear modulus G increases with VEC,reaching a maximum at VEC=3.33, and then decreases with further increase of VEC. YB2 and Mn B2 have low Young’s modulus and are predicted to have good thermal shock resistance. According to Pugh’s criterion(G/B < 0.571), Mn B2, Mo B2 and WB2are predicted as ductile or damage tolerant ultrahigh temperature ceramics(UHTCs).展开更多

The relationship between their coefficients of thermal expansion and the contents of Dy2O3, Al2O3, and SiO2 were studied respectively. Experimental results showed that Dy2O3 and Al2O3 had a positive effect on the coefficient of thermal expansion of glass, whereas, SiO2 had a negative effect. The coefficient of thermal expansion of glass showed an apparent linear relation to the contents of these three raw materials, from which an estimation model was built, to calculate the coefficient of thermal expansion of sealing glass. Relative errors of the calculating results to testing results were no more than 2%, which suggested that the estimation model was reasonable. This study provides a good theory reference for the practical utilizing of this sealing material, through which a proper glass composition for good sealing could be easily found.展开更多

Mag. Left. 84 425]. The AI- terminated and O-terminated interfaces have quite different adhesion mechanisms, which are similar to the Cu(111)/α Al2O3(0001) interface. For the O-terminated interface, the adhesion is caused by the strong O-2p/Ni-3d orbital hybridization and ionic interactions. On the other hand, the adhesion nature of the Al-terminated interface is the image-like electrostatic and Ni-Al hybridization interactions, the latter is substantial and cannot be neglected. Charge transfer occurs from Al2O3 to Ni, which is opposite to that in the O=terminated interface. The charge transfer direction for the Al-terminated and O-terminated Ni(111)/α-A1203(0001) interfaces is similar to that in the corresponding Cu(111)/α- Al2O3(0001) interface, but there exist the larger charge transfer quantity and consequent stronger adhesion nature, respectively.展开更多

There was no evidence to show that α-Al_2O_3 might bring any negative effect on corrosion resistance. Al–Al_2O_3CS coatings were sensitive to the chloride ion concentration. When these coatings were exposed to higher concentrations of NaC l, the coating's exhibited faster degradation.

文摘The interface structure, work of adhesion, and bonding character of the polar TiC/Ti interface have been examined by the first-principles density functional plane-wave pseudopotential calculations. Both Ti- and C-terminated interfaces including six different interface structures were calculated, which present quite different features. For the Ti-terminated interface, the interfacial Ti-Ti bond has a strong metallic and weak covalent character; while for the C-terminated interface, the interfacial bond is a strong polar covalent interaction between the Ti-3d and C-2p orbital. The work of adhesion of C-terminated interface is nearly 9 J/m2 stronger than that of the Ti-terminated. It is found that each termination has relatively large work of adhesion, which is consistent with other polar interfaces.

文摘The electronic structure, stability, chemical bonding and mechanical properties of 3d, 4d and 5d transition metal diboride TMB2 were investigated using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. All the primary chemical bonds, i.e., metallic, ionic and covalent have contributions to the bonding of TMB2. The number of valence electrons of transition metals or the valence electron concentration(VEC) of TMB2 has strong effects on the lattice parameters, stability and mechanical properties of TMB2. Both lattice constants a and c decrease with VEC, but c decreases faster than a, which is attributed to the enhanced TM de B p(sp2) bonding. Bulk modulus B of TMB2 increases continuously with VEC due to the enhanced TM de B p(sp2) and TM dd bonding. Shear modulus G increases with VEC,reaching a maximum at VEC=3.33, and then decreases with further increase of VEC. YB2 and Mn B2 have low Young’s modulus and are predicted to have good thermal shock resistance. According to Pugh’s criterion(G/B < 0.571), Mn B2, Mo B2 and WB2are predicted as ductile or damage tolerant ultrahigh temperature ceramics(UHTCs).

文摘Employing Dy2O3, Al2O3, and SiO2 as starting materials, several series of Dy2O3-Al2O3-SiO2 sealing glass were prepared. The relationship between their coefficients of thermal expansion and the contents of Dy2O3, Al2O3, and SiO2 were studied respectively. Experimental results showed that Dy2O3 and Al2O3 had a positive effect on the coefficient of thermal expansion of glass, whereas, SiO2 had a negative effect. The coefficient of thermal expansion of glass showed an apparent linear relation to the contents of these three raw materials, from which an estimation model was built, to calculate the coefficient of thermal expansion of sealing glass. Relative errors of the calculating results to testing results were no more than 2%, which suggested that the estimation model was reasonable. This study provides a good theory reference for the practical utilizing of this sealing material, through which a proper glass composition for good sealing could be easily found.

文摘In this paper first-principles calculations of Ni(111)/α-Al2O3(0001) interfaces have been performed, and are compared with the preceding results of the Cu (111)/α-Al2O3(0001) interface [2004 Phil. Mag. Left. 84 425]. The AI- terminated and O-terminated interfaces have quite different adhesion mechanisms, which are similar to the Cu(111)/α Al2O3(0001) interface. For the O-terminated interface, the adhesion is caused by the strong O-2p/Ni-3d orbital hybridization and ionic interactions. On the other hand, the adhesion nature of the Al-terminated interface is the image-like electrostatic and Ni-Al hybridization interactions, the latter is substantial and cannot be neglected. Charge transfer occurs from Al2O3 to Ni, which is opposite to that in the O=terminated interface. The charge transfer direction for the Al-terminated and O-terminated Ni(111)/α-A1203(0001) interfaces is similar to that in the corresponding Cu(111)/α- Al2O3(0001) interface, but there exist the larger charge transfer quantity and consequent stronger adhesion nature, respectively.
