The effect of the Al content on the microstructure, chemical compositions, element chemical bonding states and mechanical properties of the CrAlN coatings was analyzed. X-ray diffraction results show that the primary phase of the CrAlN coating is fcc-（Al, Cr）N when the Al content is about 44.02 at.%. However, when the Al content increases to about 53.34 at.%, hcp-AlN phase emerges in the coating. And the hcp-AlN phase becomes the main phase in the CrAlN coating with Al content of about 69.55 at.%. Cross-sectional images show that all the four coatings possess dense structures and the deposition rate of Al atom is higher than that of Cr atom. The hardness of the CrAlN coating with Al content about 44.02 at.% is the largest （3149.72 HV） due to the solid solution hardening effect of the Al element. When the hcp-AlN phase is generated in the CrAlN coating, the hardness declines. The tribological experiment shows that the wear resistance of the CrAlN coating decreases gradually with increasing Al content when sliding against 100Cr6 steel ball.展开更多

It was found that the corrosion rate of three Mg-AI alloys was accelerated with increasing AI content. The poor corrosion resistance was attributed to the galvanic coupling between the phase and eutectic phase or α phase and the formation of porous corrosion products.展开更多

The catalysts were also characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), Fourier transform Infrared(FTIR), specific surface area measurements(BET), thermogravimetry–differential thermal analysis(TG–DTA), H2-temperature programmed reduction(TPR) and NH3temperature-programmed desorption(NH3-TPD). The Pd–S2O82-/Zr O2–Al2O3catalyst made from Al2O3 mass fraction of 2.5% exhibited the best performance and its catalytic activity increased by 44.0% compared with Pd–S2O82-/Zr O2. The isopentane yield reached64.3% at a temperature of 238 °C, a reaction pressure of 2.0 MPa, a space velocity of 1.0 h-1and a H2/n-pentane molar ratio of 4.0. No obvious catalyst deactivation was observed within 100 h.展开更多
