The elemental depth profile and elemental chemical state evolution were determined by X ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The transmission electron microscope (TEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) were used to study the structure of interfacial zone between DLC film and Ti C layers. Results show that there are composition transition zone between DLC film and either Ti C layer or steel substrate on condition that pre deposited Ti layers on the steel substrate then plasma based bias deposited DLC films. In Ti C graded layer, the chemical state of titanium and carbon are changed gradually. The structures of zone in Ti C layer near the DLC film is consisted of random oriented nanocrystallines TiC dispersed in amorphous DLC matrix. The structure of the zone between DLC film and Ti C graded layer is gradually changed too.展开更多

Gradient equiaxed grains varied from approximately 1.0 μm in TiB/Ti-6.58Al-1.76Zr-1.04V-0.89Mo layer to 5.5 μm in TiB/Ti layer. The formation of the gradient structure was related to the alloying elements diffusion during the initial sintering process,and the equiaxed shape was constructed by dynamic recrystallization during thermal compressing. WQ treatment before thermal compressing was adopted to obtain fine lamellar structure,which promoted the segmentation of αlamellae,and accelerated the dynamic recrystallization process. Raising the quenching temperature can increase the proportion of equiaxed grains in the composite,which improved both the bending strength and ductility. Compared with the as-sintered specimen,the specimen with gradient equiaxed grains exhibited nearly 30% enhancement in flexural strength(from 1719 to 2218 MPa),and the ultimate bending fracture strain was increased from 7.0% to 17.2%. This significant improvement should be attributed to the coordination deformation by interface gradient grains,the grain refinement strengthening and the good balance between strength and ductility of the recrystallized equiaxed grains.展开更多
