The Ti-Al coating was fabricated on the surface of electro-deposited nickel layer on copper matrix followed by the slurry pack cementation process. The effects of slurry pack cementation temperature on the microstructures and wear resistance of Ti-Al coating were studied. The results show that the microstructure of the coating changed from NiAl＋Ni3（Ti,Al） to NiAl ＋Ni3（Ti,Al）＋Ni4Ti3 to Ni4Ti3＋NiAl, and to NiAl＋Ni3（Ti,Al）＋NiTi with slurry pack cementation temperature ranging from 800 ℃ to 950 ℃ in 12 h. The friction coefficient of Ti-Al coating decreased and the hardness increased with increasing the slurry pack cementation temperature. The minimum friction coefficient was 1/3 and the minimum hardness was 5 times larger than that of pure copper.展开更多

The pack cemented coatings characteristic of high density and homogeneity possess a two-layer structure. The top layer mainly consists of Al3Ni2 and Al3Ni,while the bottom layer of Al3Ni2. Great efforts are made to elucidate the effects of different experimental parameters on the microstructure and the constituent distribution of the coatings. The results show that all the parameters exclusive of the pack activator （NH4Cl） content produce effect on the coating thickness,but do not on the microstructure and the constituent distribution. The pack activator （NH4Cl） content affects neither the coating thickness nor structure and constituent distribution. The parabolic relationship between the coating thickness and the deposition time suggests that the process is diffusion-controlled. Furthermore,the article demonstrates a linear relationship between the coating thickness and the re-ciprocal deposition temperature.展开更多

Emphasis is placed on the effect of alloying elements on the aluminizing behavior of TiAl alloy. The addition of a small amount of Nb or Cr in the TiAl improves significantly the aluminizing kinetics of TiAl alloys by increasing the solid-state division of Al through the formation of stable TiAl3 layer. The TiAl3 layer formed on the TiAl alloyed with Nb or Cr has better toughness than the TiAl3 formed on the non-alloyed TiAl. The reason for better toughness of the coating formed on TiAl is that partial TiAl3 with tetragonal structure was changed to high symmetry cubic L12 structure since Nb or Cr was dissolved into TiAl3. The TiAl3 layer formed on the TiAl alloyed with Nb or Cr has much better oxidation resistance than the TiAl3 layer formed on the non-alloyed TiAl. It is attributed to change in the crystal structure of TiAl3 from the brittle tetragonal DO22 to the ductile cubic L12 by addition of small amount of Nb or Cr.展开更多

The orthogonal array design （OAD） was applied to set experiments. Contents of NH4Cl, types of RE, contents of RE, test temperature and soaking time were the main factors, and each factor was endowed with four levels. While the range analysis and analysis of variance were used to investigate the results of OAD tests on thickness and wear resistance. The results indicated that for a promising coating with higher thickness value and excellent anti-wear property, the test temperature was the most significant process factor. The potential promising conditions for chromizing treatment were： adding 1% NH4Cl and 1% LaCl3, maintaining the test temperature at 1000 oC for 8 h. The results of verification showed that the coating formed under the optimal process parameter had a valid thickness of 28 μm and a reduction of 0.32 mg in wear resistance test.展开更多

Aluminum addition was made during the coating process to improve the oxidation resistance by developing hexagonal Mo(Si, Al)2 through the development of the halide activated pack cementation coating process on pure Mo substrate. The results show that Mo(Si, Al)2 formed as a main phase on the surface and a little amount of Mo5Si3 also formed. The total thickness of coating is tens ofμm at 1373K. During the cyclic oxidation test at high temperature(at about 1323K in air), mullite (3Al2O3.2SiO2) and some SiO2 formed. The addition of Al is beneficial for MoSi2 coating and the Al-doped coating exhibited only a small weight gain and protected the Mo substrate, while the MoSi2 coating without Al suffered a significant weight loss, indicating a loss of volatile MoO3 after cycles.展开更多

The chromium coatings differed in with/without the addition of La2O3. Scanning electron microscope （SEM）, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer （EDS）, X-ray diffractometer （XRD） and microhardness tester were employed to investigate the surface morphologies, surface element distributions, microstructures, phase constitutions and microhardness of the coatings. Friction-wear tests of the P110 steel substrate and the coatings were conducted in air at ambient temperature and humidity. The results show that ＇uniform and continuous coatings are formed on P110 steel regardless of adding La2O3 or not. The chromium coatings consist of Cr23C6, Cr7C3, and （Cr, Fe）7C3. The La2O3-added chromium coating is more beneficial in terms of surface morphology, microstructure, thickness and microharduess as compared with the coating without adding La2O3. Chromizing treatment significantly improves the surface hardness and wear resistance of the P110 steel. The wear resistance of the tested samples can be sorted in the following sequence： La2O3-coating 〉 no RE-coating 〉bare P110 steel.展开更多

First, the HSLC process was employed to fabricate a (Hf,Ta)C–Ta(W) UHTC–refractory metal composite coating that had metallurgical bonding with the Ta(W) substrate. Then, the PC process was utilized to transform the refractory metal phase in the coating into the corresponding refractory silicide (RMSi_(2)) phase. Consequently, the (Hf,Ta)C–TaSi_(2) UHTC composite coating was successfully prepared. This new coating was ablated at a heat flux density of 8.0 MW/m^(2) for 300 s at a surface temperature of 2300 ℃, and the structural integrity of the coating was retained. The linear ablation rate of the coating is −0.67 µm/s. The ablated coating exhibits three distinct oxide layers: a loose HfO_(2) top layer, a dense HfO_(2) middle layer, and a slightly oxidized (Hf,Ta)CxOy–Hf–Ta–O glassy layer. The synergistic effect of HfO_(2) and Hf–Ta–O glassy oxide film endows the coating with excellent anti-ablation resistance. This innovative design of the UHTC–RMSi_(2) composite coating provides robust protection to the Ta(W) substrate from ultra-high temperature ablation and mechanical scouring.展开更多

To ob...Adoption of a low water/powder (W/P) ratio is the key to improve the strength and durability of concrete, which relies on a high packing density because fresh concrete requires excess water to offer flowability. To obtain a high packing density, powders with different particle sizes, including limestone fines (LSF), superfine cement (SFC), condensed silica fume (CSF), were added to the cement paste and the resulting packing densities were measured directly by a newly-developed wet packing test. Results demonstrated that addition of powders with a finer size would more significantly improve the packing density but the powders should be at least as fine as 1/4 of the OPC to effectively improve the packing density. Packing density and voids ratio relationship showed that a small increase in packing density can significantly decrease the voids ratio, which could allow the W/P ratio to be reduced to improve the strength and durability of the concrete without compromising the flowability.展开更多

New grout types of possible use where long-term performance is needed should have a small amount of cement for minimizing the increase in porosity that will follow from the ultimate dissolution and erosion of this component. They have to be low-viscous and gain strength early after injection and packing theory can assist designers in selecting suitable proportions of various grout components. Optimum particle packing means that the porosity is at minimum and that the amount of cement paste needed to fill the voids between aggregate particles is very small. Low porosity and microstructural stability must be guaranteed for long periods of time. Organic additives for reaching high fluidity cannot be used since they can give off colloids that carry released radionuclides and talc can be an alternative superplasticizer. Low-pH cement reacts with talc to give high strength with time while Portland cement gives early but limited strengthening. The clay mineral palygorskite can be used for early gelation because of its thixotropic properties. Once forced into the rock fractures or channels in soil it stiffens and serves as a filter that prevents fine particles to migrate through it be lost. However, its hydrophilic potential is too high to give the grout a high density and high strength. According to the experiments carried out, most of the investigated grouts are injectable in fractures with apertures down to 100 μm.展开更多

文摘The binder phase performs critically on the comprehensive properties of cemented carbides,especially the hardness(HV)and fracture toughness(K_(IC))relationship.There are strong motivations in both research community and industry for developing alternative binders to Co in cemented carbide system,due to the reasons such as price instability,property degeneration,and toxicity.Herein,six kinds of high entropy alloys(HEA)including CoCrFeNiMn,CoCrFeMnAl,CoCrFeNiAl,CoCrNiMnAl,CoFeNiMnAl,and CrFeNiMnAl were employed as the alternative binder for the preparation of WC-HEA cemented carbides through mechanical alloying and two-step spark plasma sintering.The impacts of HEA on the microstructures,mechanical properties,and thermal conductivity of WC-HEA hardmetals were determined and discussed.WC-HEA hardmetals exhibited both superior HV and K_(IC)to WC-metal or WC-intermetallic cemented carbides,indicating that HEA alloys were not only harder but also tougher in comparison with traditional metal or intermetallic binders.The HEA bonded hardmetals yielded thermal conductivities much lower than that of traditional WC-Co cemented carbide.The excellent HV-K_(IC)relationship of WC-HEA facilitated the potential engineering structural application of cemented carbides.

文摘To improve the high-temperature ablation resistance properties of Ta(W) refractory alloys, a novel ultra-high-temperature ceramic (UHTC) composite coating was prepared by combining the technological advantages of high-speed laser cladding (HSLC) and pack cementation (PC). First, the HSLC process was employed to fabricate a (Hf,Ta)C–Ta(W) UHTC–refractory metal composite coating that had metallurgical bonding with the Ta(W) substrate. Then, the PC process was utilized to transform the refractory metal phase in the coating into the corresponding refractory silicide (RMSi_(2)) phase. Consequently, the (Hf,Ta)C–TaSi_(2) UHTC composite coating was successfully prepared. This new coating was ablated at a heat flux density of 8.0 MW/m^(2) for 300 s at a surface temperature of 2300 ℃, and the structural integrity of the coating was retained. The linear ablation rate of the coating is −0.67 µm/s. The ablated coating exhibits three distinct oxide layers: a loose HfO_(2) top layer, a dense HfO_(2) middle layer, and a slightly oxidized (Hf,Ta)CxOy–Hf–Ta–O glassy layer. The synergistic effect of HfO_(2) and Hf–Ta–O glassy oxide film endows the coating with excellent anti-ablation resistance. This innovative design of the UHTC–RMSi_(2) composite coating provides robust protection to the Ta(W) substrate from ultra-high temperature ablation and mechanical scouring.
文摘Adoption of a low water/powder (W/P) ratio is the key to improve the strength and durability of concrete, which relies on a high packing density because fresh concrete requires excess water to offer flowability. To obtain a high packing density, powders with different particle sizes, including limestone fines (LSF), superfine cement (SFC), condensed silica fume (CSF), were added to the cement paste and the resulting packing densities were measured directly by a newly-developed wet packing test. Results demonstrated that addition of powders with a finer size would more significantly improve the packing density but the powders should be at least as fine as 1/4 of the OPC to effectively improve the packing density. Packing density and voids ratio relationship showed that a small increase in packing density can significantly decrease the voids ratio, which could allow the W/P ratio to be reduced to improve the strength and durability of the concrete without compromising the flowability.
文摘Fractured, very permeable rock hosting repositories for radioactive waste will require grouting. New grout types of possible use where long-term performance is needed should have a small amount of cement for minimizing the increase in porosity that will follow from the ultimate dissolution and erosion of this component. They have to be low-viscous and gain strength early after injection and packing theory can assist designers in selecting suitable proportions of various grout components. Optimum particle packing means that the porosity is at minimum and that the amount of cement paste needed to fill the voids between aggregate particles is very small. Low porosity and microstructural stability must be guaranteed for long periods of time. Organic additives for reaching high fluidity cannot be used since they can give off colloids that carry released radionuclides and talc can be an alternative superplasticizer. Low-pH cement reacts with talc to give high strength with time while Portland cement gives early but limited strengthening. The clay mineral palygorskite can be used for early gelation because of its thixotropic properties. Once forced into the rock fractures or channels in soil it stiffens and serves as a filter that prevents fine particles to migrate through it be lost. However, its hydrophilic potential is too high to give the grout a high density and high strength. According to the experiments carried out, most of the investigated grouts are injectable in fractures with apertures down to 100 μm.

文摘To improve the high-temperature oxidation resistance of TiAlNb9 alloy,a Cr-Al-Y co-deposition coating was prepared on the alloy surface by the pack cementation method.The microstructure of the coating was analyzed by scanning electron microscope,energy dispersive spectrometer,and X-ray diffractometer,and the high-temperature oxidation properties of the substrate and coating at 1273 K were compared and studied.The results show that the Cr-Al-Y coating is about 30μm in thickness,and it has a dense structure and good film-substrate bonding.The coating includes an outer layer composed of TiCr_(2),TiCr,Ti4Cr,and(Ti,Nb)Cr4 phases as well as an inner layer composed of Ti_(2)Al,and Nb-richγ-TiAl interdiffusion zone.The TiAlNb9 substrate forms an oxide layer composed of TiO2 and Al_(2)O_(3) at 1273 K.Due to its loose and porous structure,TiO2 oxide film cannot effectively isolate the internal diffusion of element O,resulting in continuous oxidation damage to the substrate.The Cr-Al-Y co-deposition coating forms a dense Cr2O3 and Al_(2)O_(3) oxide layer during oxidation,effectively preventing the internal diffusion of element O and significantly improving the high-temperature oxidation resistance of the substrate alloy.
