Three different Fe/WC composite powder mixtures containing 0 wt%, 30 wt%, and 60 wt% of WC were investigated. The microstructure and phase composition of the Fe/WC composite PTA coatings were evaluated systemically by using scanning electron microscope(SEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD). The wear properties of the three fabricated PTA coatings were investigated on a BRUKER UMT TriboLab. The morphologies of the worn tracks and wear debris were characterized by using SEM and 3 D non-contract profiler. The experimental results reveal that the microhardness on the cross-section and the wear resistance of the fabricated coatings increase dramatically with the increasing adding WC contents. The coating containing 60 wt% of WC possesses excellent wear resistance validated by the lower coefficients of friction(COF), narrower and shallower wear tracks and smaller wear rate. In the pure Fe-based coating, the main wear mechanism is the combination of adhesion and oxidative wear. Adhesive and two-body abrasive wear are predominated in the coating containing 30 wt% of WC, whereas threebody abrasion wear mechanism is predominated in the coating containing 60 wt% of WC.展开更多

Conventional Fe-C alloy parts used in mechanical transmission and braking systems exposed to the external environment often suffer from wear and corrosion failures.Surface coating strengthening technologies have been ...Conventional Fe-C alloy parts used in mechanical transmission and braking systems exposed to the external environment often suffer from wear and corrosion failures.Surface coating strengthening technologies have been explored to improve the surface performance and prolong service life of these parts.Among these technologies,laser cladding has shown promise in producing Fe-based alloy coatings with superior interfacial bonding properties to the Fe-C alloy substrate.Additionally,the microstructure of the Fe-based alloy coating is more uniform and the grain size is finer than that of surfacing welding,thermal spraying,and plasma cladding,and the oxide film of alloying elements on the coating surface can improve the coating performance.However,Fe-based alloy coatings produced by laser cladding typically exhibit lower hardness,lower wear resistance,corrosion resistance,and oxidation resistance compared to coatings based on Co and Ni alloys.Moreover,these coatings are susceptible to defects such as pores and cracks.To address these limitations,the incorporation of rare-earth oxides through doping in the laser cladding process has garnered significant attention.This approach has demonstrated substantial improvements in the microstructure and properties of Fe-based alloy coatings.This paper reviewed recent research on the structure and properties of laser-cladded Fe-based alloy coatings doped with various rare earth oxides,including La_(2)O_(3),CeO_(2),and Y_(2)O_(3).Specifically,it discussed the effects of rare earth oxides and their concentrations on the structure,hardness,friction,wear,corrosion,and oxidation characteristics of these coatings.Furthermore,the mechanisms by which rare earth oxides influence the coating’s structure and properties were summarized.This review aimed to serve as a valuable reference for the application and advancement of laser cladding technology for rare earth modified Fe-based alloy coatings.展开更多

文摘Fe-based coatings reinforced by spherical WC particles were produced on the 304 stainless steel by plasma transferred arc(PTA) to enhance the surface wear properties. Three different Fe/WC composite powder mixtures containing 0 wt%, 30 wt%, and 60 wt% of WC were investigated. The microstructure and phase composition of the Fe/WC composite PTA coatings were evaluated systemically by using scanning electron microscope(SEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD). The wear properties of the three fabricated PTA coatings were investigated on a BRUKER UMT TriboLab. The morphologies of the worn tracks and wear debris were characterized by using SEM and 3 D non-contract profiler. The experimental results reveal that the microhardness on the cross-section and the wear resistance of the fabricated coatings increase dramatically with the increasing adding WC contents. The coating containing 60 wt% of WC possesses excellent wear resistance validated by the lower coefficients of friction(COF), narrower and shallower wear tracks and smaller wear rate. In the pure Fe-based coating, the main wear mechanism is the combination of adhesion and oxidative wear. Adhesive and two-body abrasive wear are predominated in the coating containing 30 wt% of WC, whereas threebody abrasion wear mechanism is predominated in the coating containing 60 wt% of WC.

文摘Conventional Fe-C alloy parts used in mechanical transmission and braking systems exposed to the external environment often suffer from wear and corrosion failures.Surface coating strengthening technologies have been explored to improve the surface performance and prolong service life of these parts.Among these technologies,laser cladding has shown promise in producing Fe-based alloy coatings with superior interfacial bonding properties to the Fe-C alloy substrate.Additionally,the microstructure of the Fe-based alloy coating is more uniform and the grain size is finer than that of surfacing welding,thermal spraying,and plasma cladding,and the oxide film of alloying elements on the coating surface can improve the coating performance.However,Fe-based alloy coatings produced by laser cladding typically exhibit lower hardness,lower wear resistance,corrosion resistance,and oxidation resistance compared to coatings based on Co and Ni alloys.Moreover,these coatings are susceptible to defects such as pores and cracks.To address these limitations,the incorporation of rare-earth oxides through doping in the laser cladding process has garnered significant attention.This approach has demonstrated substantial improvements in the microstructure and properties of Fe-based alloy coatings.This paper reviewed recent research on the structure and properties of laser-cladded Fe-based alloy coatings doped with various rare earth oxides,including La_(2)O_(3),CeO_(2),and Y_(2)O_(3).Specifically,it discussed the effects of rare earth oxides and their concentrations on the structure,hardness,friction,wear,corrosion,and oxidation characteristics of these coatings.Furthermore,the mechanisms by which rare earth oxides influence the coating’s structure and properties were summarized.This review aimed to serve as a valuable reference for the application and advancement of laser cladding technology for rare earth modified Fe-based alloy coatings.
文摘Black nickel coatings have emerged as a research hotspot in materials science due to their excellent performance and broad application prospects.In this study,nickel-based black coatings were fabricated on low-carbon steel substrates via photo-assisted electrodeposition.A systematic investigation was conducted on the effects of cerium ion concentration and nano-ceria(CeO_(2))particle content in the electrolyte on the coating properties,along with an analysis of the temporal evolution of coating’s corrosion resistance.When the cerium ion concentration in the electrolyte was 0.05 mol/L,the coating exhibited a uniform black appearance with a light absorption rate of 95%,an emissivity of 0.87,maximum impedance,and the lowest corrosion tendency,demonstrating optimal comprehensive performance.The coating prepared with a nano-ceria concentration of 6 g/L in the electrolyte exhibited an emissivity of 0.9,achieved a 5B adhesion grade(ASTM D3359-09),and demonstrated a one-order-of-magnitude reduction in corrosion current density compared to coatings fabricated without nano-ceria in the electrolyte.With prolonged storage time,the coating's impedance slightly increased,leading to improved corrosion resistance.

文摘Carbon fiber-reinforced carbon aerogel(C/CA)composites are one of the most promising candidates for applications requiring both thermal insulation and load bearing capabilities.The preparation of anti-oxidation coatings on C/CA to address its susceptibility to oxidation is a feasible approach to promote its application in oxidative environments.However,the currently reported coatings on C/CA mainly focus on improving the ablation performance and coating preparation process typically necessitating high-temperature heat treatment.This procedure can increase its thermal conductivity and reduce its thermal insulation ability.In this study,a series of ceramic-resin coatings were fabricated on C/CA through a simple slurry brushing-drying approach at room temperature.The effects of phenolic resin content on the coating structure,residual stress,thermal shock,and oxidation behaviors were investigated.Due to the adhesive properties and curing-induced shrinkage,the PR-7.5 coating(containing 7.5%(in mass)phenolic resin in the slurry)exhibits bonding strength close to fracture strength of the substrate and residual compressive stress of 0.853 GPa,which is beneficial for resisting thermal shock cracking.However,excessive resin content(PR-10.0 containing 10.0%(in mass)phenolic resin in the slurry)induces tensile stress due to uneven curing shrinkage,thereby leading to thermal shock cracking.Meanwhile,oxidation tests reveal significantly reduced weight losses for PR-7.5(17.46%at 800℃/100 min,8.15%at 1000℃/120 min,3.15%at 1200℃/120 min)versus uncoated C/CA’s 44.60%loss at 800℃/20 min.This work provides a brand-new and simple approach to improving the anti-oxidation performance of C/CA and expands its application in mild oxidative environments.

文摘The rapid development of electronic devices and communication technologies has resulted in increasingly severe electromagnetic-wave(EW)pollution.Efficient EW absorption(EWA)materials are essential to mitigate their impact and ensure human safety in modern society.Fe-based EWA materials have garnered significant attention owing to their cost-effectiveness,high saturation magnetization,and superior magnetic loss capabilities.This review begins with an introduction to Fe-based EWA materials,followed by a brief description of their EWA mechanisms.Various pristine Fe-based absorbers,such as carbonyl iron powder,ferrite-based materials,Fe-based alloys,Fe-based high-entropy alloys(HEAs),and Fe-based layered ternary transition-metal borides,have been systematically reviewed.Key strategies to enhance the performance of Fe-based composite absorbers,including doping,in-situ oxidation,porous structuring,and composite construction,are critically discussed.Finally,the review presents a summary and future perspectives in this field,highlighting the synergy between Fe-based and high-entropy materials in advancing next-generation EWA for applications in stealth technology,wear-able electronics,and harsh environments.

文摘This study presents the development of high-performance,solvent-free polyurethane-urea(PU)elastomeric coatings engineered for rapid curing and precise sprayability.Utilizing polyoxytetramethylene glycol(PTMG)as the primary polyol and a static-mixing spraying technique,the formulations were systematically optimized.It was found that a soft-segment content of 64% yields optimalmechanical properties,achieving a remarkable tensile strength exceeding 30 MPa.Crucially,the incorporation of an ultra-low concentration(0.002 wt%)of dibutyltin dilaurate catalyst was sufficient to enhance curing completeness and mechanical performance while effectively eliminating moisture-induced foaming,a common challenge in solvent-free spray applications.The gel and tack-free times were successfully reduced to the order of minutes through strategic formulation with the chain extender dimethylsulfidetoluene diamine,minimizing reliance on high catalyst loadings.Theresultant PTMG-based coatings exhibit exceptional comprehensive properties,including a tensile strength>30 MPa,elongation at break>400%,and a tear strength of 66 N/mm,significantly surpassing conventional polypropylene-diamine-based polyurea systems.Furthermore,the coatings demonstrated superior low-temperature flexibility,evidenced by a glass transition temperature of-53℃,and suppressed soft-segment crystallinity.The solvent-free nature and tunable curing kinetics of this system enable precise spraying on complex geometries,effectively overcoming thickness-control limitations for small-object applications.This work establishes a sustainable and high-performance coating solution ideal for demanding impact-and corrosionresistant protective layers.

文摘The efficient regulation of sunlight to minimize unnecessary energy exchange through windows plays a vital role in advancing building energy efficiency.However,the inferior stability of cerium-doped tungsten trioxide(CWO)as a near-infrared(NIR)shielding material,combined with the poor mechanical properties of its coatings,poses significant challenges for long-term thermal insulation performance.Here,a hierarchical thermal insulation coating with multifunctional integration has been developed.The inner layer’s excellent NIR shielding performance(94.4%)results in a temperature reduction of 13.6°C,demonstrating outstanding thermal insulation.Meanwhile,the external layer composed of polysilsesquioxane grafted by carboxylated hexafluoropropylene trimer offers exceptional weather resistance due to the low surface energy.The fluorosilicone coating effectively mitigates oxidation of CWO,as evidenced by the retention of NIR shielding performance even after 30 days of exposure to 60°C and 90%relative humidity.Furthermore,the coating demonstrates superior anti-graffiti properties and achieves an ultra-high mechanical strength of 0.49 GPa through precise fluorine content modulation.This hierarchical design integrates high hardness,excellent abrasion resistance,anti-graffiti functionality,transparency,and long-term operational durability into a single smart window system,offering a promising solution for reducing building energy consumption.

文摘Nanoporous polymers are extensively coated on various substrates to deliver optical,permselective,or other functions.However,it remains desired to fast produce uniform nanoporous polymer coatings on substrates with complex surfaces.Herein,by manipulating the interactions between block copolymers and selective solvents,we prepare repairable nanoporous polymers on arbitrary substrates.This is realized by an extremely simple sequential coating process:sequential coating of block copolymers and their swelling agents on substrate surfaces.The swelling agents are comprised of two solvents that swell the constituent blocks of the copolymers to different degrees,rapidly producing polymer coatings with uniform,interconnected,sub-50 nm pores.This sequential coating process is able to conformally build nanoporous polymers on nonplanar substrates with large lateral sizes and complex surface features,and also to in situ repair defects arising during usages.We further demonstrate that the nanoporous coatings show excellent antireflective and membrane separation performances.This sequential coating process is dictated by polymer–solvent interactions,and is expected to find applications in diverse fields for its simplicity,adaptability,and the capability to produce well-defined nanoporosities.

文摘An advanced AlCrSiN/AlCrN/CrN/Cr multilayer coating was developed via hybrid multiarc ion plating and high-power impulse magnetron sputtering.The multilayer design enhanced the substrate-coating compatibility,achieving a critical load of 87.8 N.Silicon doping induced nanocrystallization and amorphization,increasing the hardness to 26 GPa.At high temperatures,a nanoscale Cr-rich(Cr,Al)_(2)O_(3) layer was formed,effectively inhibiting oxygen diffusion.The coating underwent unique phase transformations,during which Cr_(2)N and amorphous Si3N4 were converted into dispersed SiCr_(3) nanoparticles,which stabilized Cr atoms and suppressed their outward diffusion.Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations revealed that Cr atoms exhibited higher chemical activity and oxygen-capture capability than Al atoms and Si atoms served as diffusion barriers by pinning onto the oxidized surface,considerably improving the oxidation resistance of the coating.

文摘Epoxy resins are extensively employed in the construction,electronics,automotive,and aerospace industries owing to their outstandingmechanical strength,chemical resistance,and electrical insulation.However,their intrinsic flammability,poor wear resistance,and hydrophilicity significantly restrict broader applications.To address these challenges,a novel multifunctional coating(CEOS-DOPO-PDMS)has been designed and fabricated via an NPGLIDE approach.The system integrates 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide(DOPO)as a reactive phosphorus-based flame retardant,epoxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane(EP-PDMS)as a hydrophobic segment,and cycloaliphatic epoxy-functionalized oligosiloxanes(CEOS)as a cross-linking co-reactant.The resulting CEOSDOPO-PDMS hybrid precursor was blended with bisphenol A diglycidyl ether(DGEBA)in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone(NMP)and subsequently cured to form epoxy-based NP-GLIDE coatings.The optimized coating exhibits superior integrated performance,including high hydrophobicity(water contact angle up to 109.6°),outstanding abrasion resistance(5H pencil hardness),and excellent flame retardancy(resisting combustion at 500℃ for 30 s).These enhancements originate from the cooperative effects of the Si-O-Si framework,low-surface-energy PDMS chains,and phosphorus-containing DOPOmoieties,which together provide stable thermal protection,surface roughness-induced hydrophobicity,and durable mechanical integrity.An effective strategy for constructing multifunctional epoxy-based coatingswith simultaneously enhanced flame retardancy,wear resistance,andwater repellency is presented.The CEOSDOPO-PDMS system holds great promise for advanced protective applications in construction,transportation,and aerospace engineering.

文摘The high-temperature interaction of nanostructured Lu_(2)Si_(2)O_(7) environmental barrier coatings(EBCs)with calcium-magnesium-aluminosilicate(CMAS)was investigated at 1400℃ for 1,10,25,and 50 h to evaluate the coating’s resistance to CMAS corrosion.The results indicate a phase transformation over time,transitioning from Ca_(2)Lu_(8)(SiO_(4))6O_(2) apatite and Lu_(2)Si_(2)O_(7) to solely Lu_(2)Si_(2)O_(7).The interaction of the Lu_(2)Si_(2)O_(7) coating with the CMAS melts was divided into three stages based on the corrosion reaction behavior.The delamination cracks were distributed throughout the interface between the Si bond layer and Lu_(2)Si_(2)O_(7) layer after corroded at 1400℃ for 50 h,signifying coating failure.In addition,the influence of monosilicates,disilicates,and corrosion duration on the recession layer thickness was analyzed by comparing previous reports on RE_(2)SiO_(5)/RE_(2)Si_(2)O_(7) coatings(RE=Gd,Yb,Lu,Er).Furthermore,the variation in the thermally grown oxide layer thickness in CMAS-corroded Lu_(2)Si_(2)O_(7) coatings was systematically investigated.

文摘Towards the development of highly efficient electrochromic coatings,the crystallinity,morphology(e.g.size and shape)of electrochromic nanomaterials,and their charge insertion capacities play a significant role.Herein,we report the structure-dependent colouration effciency in electrochromic coatings based on the use of 0D,1D and 2D tungsten trioxide(WO_(3))nanostructures.A series of WO_(3)with different nanostructures were prepared and used as working electrodes to fabricate electrochromic devices for smart windows applications.Facile spray coating was applied on fluorine-doped tin oxide(FTO)substrate to make~70%transparent working electrodes to investigate their charge insertion capacities,electrochromic active surface area,and colouration efficiency.Results showed that the 2D WO_(3)nanoflakes displayed the highest diffusion coefficient for the intercalation of 1.52×10^(-10)cm^(2)/s with an increased electrochemical active surface area of 25.10 mF/cm^(2),a large modulation of optical reflectance(42.63%)with 3.79 s shorter response time for bleaching and a greater colouration efficiency(CE)value(89.29 cm^(2)/C)at 700 nm compared to the CE value for 1D WO_(3)(of 22 cm^(2)/C)and 0D WO_(3)(8 cm^(2)/C).The outcome of this study provides a new insight and valuable contribution to design an efficient electrochromic coating by controlling and optimising the nanostructures of selective electrochromic materials.

文摘Dual-layer thermal barrier coatings(TBCs)with ultrahigh temperature resistance were prepared on the surface of molybdenum-rhenium alloy hot-end components.The preparation of the MoSi_(2)-Gd_(2)Zr_(2)O_(7)dual-layer TBCs was designed based on the coefficient of thermal expansion and the coating functionality,and it was completed using atmospheric plasma spraying technique.The microstructure,mechanical properties,and thermal properties were analyzed.Results indicate that the adhesion of the prepared dual-layer composite TBCs is excellent,and no noticeable cracks appear at the interface.Compared with the MoSi_(2)coating with a low fracture toughness(0.88 MPa·m^(1/2)),the Gd_(2)Zr_(2)O_(7)coating exhibits higher fracture toughness(1.74 MPa·m^(1/2))and stronger resistance to crack propagation.The prepared MoSi_(2)-Gd_(2)Zr_(2)O_(7)composite coatings have a high porosity(39%),low thermal conductivity(1.020 W·(m·K)^(−1),1200℃),and low thermal diffusivity(0.249 mm^(2)/s,1200℃).Additionally,they possess a high oxygen-vacancy concentration,which ensures excellent insulation performance.

文摘TiB_(2)coatings can significantly enhance the high-temperature oxidation resistance of molybdenum,which would broaden the application range of molybdenum and alloys thereof.However,traditional methods for preparing TiB_(2)coatings have disadvantages such as high equipment costs,complicated processes,and highly toxic gas emissions.This paper proposes an environmentally friendly method,which requires inexpensive equipment and simple processing,for preparing TiB_(2)coating on molybdenum via electrophoretic deposition within Na3AlF6-based molten salts.The produced TiB_(2)layer had an approximate thickness of 60μm and exhibited high density,outstanding hardness(38.2 GPa)and robust adhesion strength(51 N).Additionally,high-temperature oxidation experiments revealed that,at900℃,the TiB_(2)coating provided effective protection to the molybdenum substrate against oxidation for 3 h.This result indicates that the TiB_(2)coating prepared on molybdenum using molten salt electrophoretic deposition possesses good high-temperature oxidation resistance.

文摘The wear and corrosion resistance of Fe_（72.2）Cr_（16.8）Ni_（7.3）Mo_（1.6）Mn_（0.7）C_（0.2）Si_（1.2） and Fe_（77.3）Cr_（15.8）Ni_（3.9）Mo_（1.1）Mn_（0.5）C_（0.2）Si_（1.2） coatings laser-cladded on AISI 4130 steel were studied.The coatings possess excellent wear and corrosion resistance despite the absence of expensive yttrium,tungsten,and cobalt and very little molybdenum.The microstructure mainly consists of dendrites and eutectic phases,such as duplex（γ＋α）-Fe and the Fe–Cr（Ni）solid solution,confirmed via energy dispersive spectrometry and X-ray diffraction.The cladded Fe-based coatings have lower coefficients of friction,and narrower and shallower wear tracks than the substrate without the cladding,and the main wear mechanism is mild abrasive wear.Electrochemical test results suggest that the soft Fe_（72.2）Cr_（16.8）Ni_（7.3）Mo_（1.6）Mn_（0.7）C_（0.2）Si_（1.2） coating with high Cr and Ni concentrations has high passivation resistance,low corrosion current,and positive corrosion potential,providing a better protective barrier layer to the AISI 4130 steel against corrosion.

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.
