Here, it is demonstrated that the embrittled Fe-based MG can be reductilized and the coercivity can be further lowered through the rejuvenation of memory effect. The synchronous improvement in the plasticity and soft magnetic properties is attributed to the combination effects of releasing much residual stress, decreasing the magnetic anisotropy, and homogenizing the glasses during the rejuvenation process. The current work opens a new perspective to improve the properties of MGs by utilizing the memory effect and holds promising commercial application potential.展开更多

The composition and microstructure of the fabricated coating were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, X-ray diffraction （XRD） and transmission electron microscopy （TEM） technique. The tribological properties were tested through sliding against AISI52100 steel ball at different normal loads and sliding speeds. Besides, the morphologies of the worn surfaces and wear debris were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and three dimensional （3D） non-contact surface mapping. The results show that the prepared Fe-based coating has a high hardness of about 860 HV0.2 and exhibits an average wear rate of （0.70-2.32）×10-6 mm3/（N-m）, showing that the Fe-based coating can greatly improve the wear resistance of pure Ti substrate. The wear mechanism of the coating involves moderate adhesive and abrasive wear.展开更多

The physicochemical properties of the resulting catalysts were determined by scanning electron mi‐croscopy, the Brunauer‐Emmett‐Teller method, X‐ray diffraction, H2 temperature‐programed re‐duction and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results demonstrate that the addition of a Zn promoter improves both the light olefin selectivity over the catalyst and the catalyst stability. The catalysts prepared via the impregnation method, which contain greater quantities of surface ZnO, exhibit severe carbon deposition following activity trials. In contrast, those materials synthesized using the microwave‐hydrothermal approach show improved dispersion of Zn and Fe phases and decreased carbon deposition, and so exhibit better CO conversion and stability.展开更多

The microstructure and the phase aggregate were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometry, respectively. Microhardness, wear resistance and corrosion behavior were assessed using a Vickers microhardness tester, a ball-on-disk wear testing machine and the electrochemical measurement method, respectively. Microstructural studies show that the coatings possess a densely layered structure with the porosity less than 2.1%. The tribological behavior of the coatings examined under dry conditions shows that their relative wear resistance is five times higher than that of the substrate material. Both adhesive wear and abrasive wear contribute to the friction, but the former is the dominant wear mechanism of the metallic glass coatings. The coatings exhibit low passive current density and extremely wide passive region in 3.5% NaCl solution, thus indicating excellent corrosion resistance.展开更多

The corrosion resistance of Fe-AMMC was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization tests in 1 mol/L HCl, NaCl, H2SO4 and NaOH solutions, respectively. The surface morphologies corroded were observed by SEM. The results indicate that Fe-AMMC exhibits excellent corrosion resistance, higher corrosion resistance than 304L stainless steel in the chloride solutions. The low corrosion current density and passive current density of Fe-AMMC with a wide spontaneous passivation region are about 132.0μA/cm2 and 9.0 mA/cm2 in HCl solution, and about 2.5 μA/cm2 and 2.3 mA/cm2 in NaCl solution. The excellent corrosion resistance demonstrates that Fe-based amorphous metallic matrix powder is a viable engineering material in practical anti-corrosion and anti-wear coating applications.展开更多

It is found that high casting vacuum can improve the glass forming ability (GFA), the contraction degree during heating, and the pitting resistance of the glassy alloy, which can be ascribed to the fact that the dissolution of tungsten in the melt is improved under the high casting vacuum.展开更多

Specimens of low carbon steel were processed firstly by laser cladding with Fe-based alloy powders and then by electrospark deposition with WC-SCo cemented carbide. It is shown that, for these two treatments, the electrospark coating possesses finer microstructure than the laser coating, and the thickness and surface hardness of the electrospark coating can be substantially increased.展开更多

The microstructure and frictional behavior were characterized simultaneously in this article. The results show that the as-deposited coatings consist of amorphous matrix and some precipitated nanocrystals, while the amorphous fraction and particle deformation as well as crystallization mechanism are significantly sensitive to the spraying parameters. The amorphous coatings express high microhardness and excellent wear resistance under dry frictional wear condition, which attributes to the inherent characteristic of amorphous phase and the dispersion strengthening of precipitated nanocrystals. The dominant wear mechanism of the amorphous coatings is fatigue wear accompanying with oxidative wear. In addition, the microhardness and wear resistance of the amorphous coatings were improved by optimizing spraying parameters, owing to the effect of both structural character and proper proportional of amorphous and nanocrystals fraction.展开更多

Microstructural studies show that the coatings present a densely layered structure typical of thermally sprayed deposits with the porosity below 2%. Both crystallization and oxidation occurred obviously during spraying process, so that the amorphous fraction of the coatings decreased to 54% compared with fully amorphous alloy ribbons of the same component. 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

文摘Ti(C,N)-Mo_(2)C-Ni cermet as alternative materials was explored for use in alkaline conditions,replacing the WC-Co cemented carbides,since Co is classified as a potentially carcinogenic substance and there is potential hazard of“hard metal disease”under the exposure to cobalt dust.The changes in microstructure,corrosion rate and volumetric loss rate of the two materials were compared under electrochemical corrosion and erosion-corrosion in alkaline environment.The results demonstrates that Ti(C,N)-Mo_(2)C-Ni cermet undergoes passivation when exposed to electrochemical corrosion of NaOH solution,resulting in a significant increase in oxygen content on the corroded surface.The corrosion rate of cermet is approximately one order of magnitude lower than that of the cemented carbide.Under the erosion-corrosion of an alkaline sand-water mixture,both the cermet and cemented carbide experience a gradual increase in volumetric loss rate with prolonging the erosion time.During erosion,the rim phase in cermet is fragile,so cracks easily penetrate it while the core phase remains intact.The medium-grained cemented carbide commonly demonstrates transgranular fracture mode,while in the fine-grained cemented carbide,cracks tend to propagate along phase boundaries.The erosive wear and damage caused by sand particles play a predominant role in the erosion-corrosion process of alkaline sand-water mixtures.This process represents an accelerated destructive phenomenon influenced and intensified by the combined effects of corrosion and erosion.It is confirmed that using cermet as an alternative anti-wear material to cemented carbides is feasible under alkaline conditions,and even better.

文摘The transverse rupture strength(TRS)is a key mechanical property for brittle Ti(C,N)-based cermets.However,the complicated structure with the ceramics hard phase and the metal binder phase makes it challenging to ascertain the essential impact on the TRS.To fundamentally understand the fracture in this system,herein,we present a theoretical model to investigate the essential TRS including friction stress at the phase boundary and Peierls stress of dislocations based on the first-principles method,in which the strain-stress method and Peierls-Nabarro method are employed.The traditional application of this method is analyzing the contributions to the yield strength(YS)in the constitution equation.In this article,we present a transformation of the TRS calculation into YS calculation in terms of some basic mechanical theories,thereby extending the applicability of this method to the calculation of TRS.And,the numerical valuations with good linear fit between the experimental TRS and calculated TRS including intrinsic strength,Hall-Petch effect,as well as dislocation density hardening provide solid evidence for the accuracy of our deductions and theoretical model.Finally,it is evident that the brittle components in cermets are not typically the ceramic phase itself.Our methodology illuminates a novel yet effective approach for analyzing fracture in Ti(C,N)-based cermets,which may be extended to other brittle materials in future.

文摘The durability performance in molten aluminum with high chemical activity is considered to be a crucial factor for the application of traditional ceramicmatrix composites in the aluminum industry.Herein,novel Ti(C,N)cermet composites with excellent corrosion resistance,featuring distinct ratios of high-entropy alloy binders,were meticulously synthesized by spark plasma sintering(SPS).The synergetic effect of porosity and binder on the corrosion resistance was detailed analyzed.The results show that 8 wt%binder provides an optimum balance of porosity,hardness,fracture toughness and corrosion resistance of the cermets.The appealing corrosion resistance is intimately associated with the formation of a continuous layer consisting of Ti N/Al N,which is introduced through the decarburization of the Ti(C,N)cermets.Additionally,a corrosion mechanism is proposed to elucidate the formation of alternating morphologies within the reaction layers of the cermets.This work is beneficial for selecting structural materials for use in the aluminum industry.

文摘Fe-based coating was produced on pure Ti substrate by the laser cladding technology. The composition and microstructure of the fabricated coating were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, X-ray diffraction （XRD） and transmission electron microscopy （TEM） technique. The tribological properties were tested through sliding against AISI52100 steel ball at different normal loads and sliding speeds. Besides, the morphologies of the worn surfaces and wear debris were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and three dimensional （3D） non-contact surface mapping. The results show that the prepared Fe-based coating has a high hardness of about 860 HV0.2 and exhibits an average wear rate of （0.70-2.32）×10-6 mm3/（N-m）, showing that the Fe-based coating can greatly improve the wear resistance of pure Ti substrate. The wear mechanism of the coating involves moderate adhesive and abrasive wear.

文摘Fe‐based catalysts for the production of light olefins via the Fischer‐Tropsch synthesis were modi‐fied by adding a Zn promoter using both microwave‐hydrothermal and impregnation methods. The physicochemical properties of the resulting catalysts were determined by scanning electron mi‐croscopy, the Brunauer‐Emmett‐Teller method, X‐ray diffraction, H2 temperature‐programed re‐duction and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results demonstrate that the addition of a Zn promoter improves both the light olefin selectivity over the catalyst and the catalyst stability. The catalysts prepared via the impregnation method, which contain greater quantities of surface ZnO, exhibit severe carbon deposition following activity trials. In contrast, those materials synthesized using the microwave‐hydrothermal approach show improved dispersion of Zn and Fe phases and decreased carbon deposition, and so exhibit better CO conversion and stability.

文摘A metallic glass coating with the composition of Fe51.33Cr14.9Mo25.67Y3.4C3.44B1.26 （mole fraction, %） on the Q235 stainless steel was developed by the detonation gun （D-gun） spraying process. The microstructure and the phase aggregate were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometry, respectively. Microhardness, wear resistance and corrosion behavior were assessed using a Vickers microhardness tester, a ball-on-disk wear testing machine and the electrochemical measurement method, respectively. Microstructural studies show that the coatings possess a densely layered structure with the porosity less than 2.1%. The tribological behavior of the coatings examined under dry conditions shows that their relative wear resistance is five times higher than that of the substrate material. Both adhesive wear and abrasive wear contribute to the friction, but the former is the dominant wear mechanism of the metallic glass coatings. The coatings exhibit low passive current density and extremely wide passive region in 3.5% NaCl solution, thus indicating excellent corrosion resistance.

文摘The Fe-based amorphous metallic matrix coating （Fe-AMMC） was fabricated with the powder mixtures of Fe-based metallic glass synthesized with industrial raw materials, NiCr alloy and WC particle by high velocity oxy-fuel （HVOF） spraying. The corrosion resistance of Fe-AMMC was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization tests in 1 mol/L HCl, NaCl, H2SO4 and NaOH solutions, respectively. The surface morphologies corroded were observed by SEM. The results indicate that Fe-AMMC exhibits excellent corrosion resistance, higher corrosion resistance than 304L stainless steel in the chloride solutions. The low corrosion current density and passive current density of Fe-AMMC with a wide spontaneous passivation region are about 132.0μA/cm2 and 9.0 mA/cm2 in HCl solution, and about 2.5 μA/cm2 and 2.3 mA/cm2 in NaCl solution. The excellent corrosion resistance demonstrates that Fe-based amorphous metallic matrix powder is a viable engineering material in practical anti-corrosion and anti-wear coating applications.

文摘The effect of casting vacuum on thermodynamic and corrosion properties of Fe61Co7Zr8Mo5W2B17 in shape of cylinder of 3 mm in diameter and ribbon of 20?40μm in thickness and 2?3 mm in width were investigated with X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dilatometer (DIL), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical station. It is found that high casting vacuum can improve the glass forming ability (GFA), the contraction degree during heating, and the pitting resistance of the glassy alloy, which can be ascribed to the fact that the dissolution of tungsten in the melt is improved under the high casting vacuum.
文摘This paper presents the results of a study concerned with the surface hardening of Fe-based alloys and WC-8Co cemented carbide by inte- grating laser cladding and the electrospark deposition processes. Specimens of low carbon steel were processed firstly by laser cladding with Fe-based alloy powders and then by electrospark deposition with WC-SCo cemented carbide. It is shown that, for these two treatments, the electrospark coating possesses finer microstructure than the laser coating, and the thickness and surface hardness of the electrospark coating can be substantially increased.

文摘Amorphous metallic coatings with a composition of Fe48Cr15Mo14C15B6Y2 were prepared by means of atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) process under different conditions. The microstructure and frictional behavior were characterized simultaneously in this article. The results show that the as-deposited coatings consist of amorphous matrix and some precipitated nanocrystals, while the amorphous fraction and particle deformation as well as crystallization mechanism are significantly sensitive to the spraying parameters. The amorphous coatings express high microhardness and excellent wear resistance under dry frictional wear condition, which attributes to the inherent characteristic of amorphous phase and the dispersion strengthening of precipitated nanocrystals. The dominant wear mechanism of the amorphous coatings is fatigue wear accompanying with oxidative wear. In addition, the microhardness and wear resistance of the amorphous coatings were improved by optimizing spraying parameters, owing to the effect of both structural character and proper proportional of amorphous and nanocrystals fraction.

文摘In this study,a few Fe-based amorphous matrix composite coatings reinforced with various portions(4,8 and16 vol.%) of 31 6L stainless steel powders have been successfully produced through high velocity oxy-fuel(HVOF) spraying.The microstructure of the composite coatings was systematically characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).The main structure of composite coatings remained amorphous while 31 6L stainless steel splats were distributed homogeneously in the amorphous matrix and well connected with surrounding amorphous phase.Bonding strength of coatings to the substrate was determined by 'pull-off' tensile tests.The results revealed that the31 6L stainless steel phase effectively improved the bonding strength of amorphous coatings,which is mainly contributed by the strong metallurgical bonding between stainless steel and amorphous splats.The addition of31 6L stainless steel also enhanced the ductility and fracture resistance of the coatings due to the ductile stainless steel phases,which can arrest crack propagation and increase energy dissipation.
文摘Amorphous metallic coatings with a composition of Fe48Cr15Mo14C15B6Y2 were prepared by detonation gun spraying process. Microstructural studies show that the coatings present a densely layered structure typical of thermally sprayed deposits with the porosity below 2%. Both crystallization and oxidation occurred obviously during spraying process, so that the amorphous fraction of the coatings decreased to 54% compared with fully amorphous alloy ribbons of the same component. 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.

文摘The Fe-based WC composite coatings were clad on Q235 steel by double-pass plasma cladding method,in which the WC-Co(WC covered with cobalt:78wt%WC,12wt%Co)doping was about 10wt%,20wt%and 40wt%,respectively.The microstructure and wear performance of the composite coatings were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscope(SEM),energy dispersive spectrometer(EDS)and ball-disc wear tests.The results show that the clad coatings contain mainly?-Fe,WC and carbides(Cr23C6,Fe3W3C-Fe4W2C)phases and the precipitation of carbides increases with the increase of WC-Co doping content.The WC-Co doping content has an obvious effect on the microstructure of the clad coatings.For the clad coatings with low WC-Co doping,the microstructure gradually transforms from planar crystal at the interface of substrate/coating to cell/dendritic crystal at the middle and the upper portion of the coatings.But there are a number of fishbone-like structure at the middle and the upper portion of clad coating with 40wt%WC-Co doping.The microstructure at the top is smaller than that at the bottom for all the coatings.The maximum of hardness of the clad coatings is 72.3HRC which is about 6.9 as much as the hardness of Q235 steel substrate.The composite coatings have good wear resistance due to the reinforcement of carbide particles and the strong bonding between carbide particles and ferroalloy.The suitable increase of WC-Co doping content can improve the wear resistance of the composite coatings.
