And then the Fe-Cr-Ti-C coating was prepared by reactive plasma cladding method. Microstructure of the samples was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), the phases were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the wear resistance was evaluated under dry sliding wear test conditions at room temperature. Results indicate that the composite coating consists of primary austenite and dendritic eutectic austenite, chrysanthemum-shaped eutectic (Cr, Fe ) 7 C3 and TiC carbide. TiC presents the gradient distribution and different shapes in the coating, corresponding to equiaxial structure both in fusion zone and central zone, while it presents dendritic structure on the surface, respectively. The wear mass loss is insensitive to load for the coating while it increases rapidly for Q235 steel base metal in this test. The wear mass loss ofQ235 steel is 14 times as that of the composite coating under applied load of 40 kg.展开更多

Here different forms of Pb into the Sn Se system were introduced in order to improve the thermoelectric and mechanical properties of Sn Se. Pb/Sn Se samples were fabricated by vacuum melting, solid phase diffusion,spark plasma sintering and annealing treatment. The element valence mapping diagram and the X-ray photoelectron spectra(XPS) characteristic peaks of Pb show that a certain amount of elemental Pb exists in the initial state, and evolves into Pb^(2+)ion after annealing treatment. The micro-structure evolution leads to significant enhancement of the power factor and the ZT value. The power factor(PF) and the ZT value for Pb/Sn Se increases to 623 μW/m/K^(2) and 1.12 at 773 K after annealing treatment, respectively.Compared with Sn Se matrix, the hardness and fracture toughness of Pb/Sn Se samples increased by about40% and 10%, respectively. Reasonable control of microstructure evolution is expected to be a design idea to improve thermoelectric and mechanical properties of Sn Se.展开更多

Microstructure , phase composition and micro-hardness of the layers were investigated by optical microscope (OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron probe microanalysis ( EPMA ) and micro-hardness tester. The results show that the grains of the cladding layers with Ti are much finer than that of the Fe-based cladding layer without Ti. Compared with the cladding layers without Ti, there are more shingle crystals in the cladding layers with Ti and the hard phase ( Cr, Fe ) 7 C3 of the eutectic in the layers increase gradually. However, as increasing titanium content in the alloy powder, the hard phase (Cr, Fe ) 7 C3 in eutectic structure of the cladding layer increases gradually, restraining ( Cr, Fe )7 C3 carbide precipitation and decreasing the average and maximum hardness of the cladding layer.展开更多
