流脉冲离子束辐照对DZ4合金性能的影响

 用含Cⁿ⁺和H⁺、加速电压250 kV、脉冲宽度70 ns、束流密度160 A/cm²的强流脉冲离子束辐照DZ4合金，辐照次数分别为2，5，10，15。实验结果表明：辐照后样品的表面出现了熔坑，多次脉冲辐照后样品的表面熔坑边缘模糊甚至消失。近表面存在厚1~2 mm的重熔层，晶粒较细，晶界模糊；熔坑周围富集Cr和Mo等元素;强流脉冲离子束辐照处理后DZ4合金的耐腐蚀性能明显提高，腐蚀速率下降,这是由于辐照减弱了由于晶界和晶粒本体的成分差异而引起的晶界腐蚀；同时离子束辐照后的DZ4合金在高温氧化时更容易形成一层连续的保护性氧化物，其主要成分是致密的Al₂O₃，使得DZ4合金的耐高温氧化性能也有所改善。     

强流脉冲离子束辐照混合双层靶的Monte Carlo模拟

表面状态对强流脉冲电子束辐照诱发金属表面熔坑的影响

 为了考察材料晶体学特性对表面熔坑形成机制的影响,利用强流脉冲电子束（HCPEB）对喷丸前、后的304奥氏体不锈钢进行表面辐照处理,对HCPEB诱发的表面熔坑形貌进行了详细的表征。实验结果表明,HCPEB辐照后样品表面形成了大量的火山状熔坑,熔坑数密度和熔坑尺寸随电子束能量的增加而减小,材料表面的杂质或夹杂物容易成为熔坑的核心,并在熔坑形成的喷发过程中被清除,起到净化表面的作用。此外,喷丸前、后样品表面熔坑数密度遵循相似的分布规律,喷丸处理使熔坑数密度显著增大,表明材料的晶体学特性对表面熔坑形成有重要的影响,晶界、位错等结构缺陷是熔坑形核的择优位置。

Phase transformation of graphite irradiated by high-intensity pulsed ion beams

The microstructure and morphology of graphite irradiated by high-intensity pulsed ion beams (HIPIB) has been studied by varying the ion current density as 200, 350 and 1500 A/cm² with one to five shots. Phase transformation from graphite to diamond-like carbon (DLC) on the HIPIB-irradiated graphite was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy where a typical broadened asymmetric peak appeared in the wavenumber range of 1100-1700 cm⁻¹. Formation of DLC on the irradiated graphite strongly depended on the HIPIB parameters and preferably took place at the medium ion current density of 350 A/cm² up to five shots. Numerical simulation of ablation process was performed to explore the transformation mechanism of DLC from graphite irradiated by HIPIB. The calculation showed that the temperature profile in irradiated graphite at 350 A/cm² is almost identical to that at 200 A/cm², showing a deeper heat-affected zone in comparison with that of 1500 A/cm². Moreover, the ablation depth per shot is around 0.8 μm at 350 A/cm², higher than that of 0.4 μm at 200 A/cm² and much lower than that of 8.4 μm at 1500 A/cm², respectively. The experimental and numerical results indicate that a proper temperature and pressure repetitively created in the top layer of ablated graphite during HIPIB irradiation facilitates the phase transformation.     

Droplets from the metal surfaces irradiated by a high-intensity pulsed ion beam

Droplet behavior from the surfaces of pure metals Ti and Al ablated by high-intensity pulsed ion beam (HIPIB) with an ion current density from 30 to 200 A/cm² has been investigated to explore the mechanism of mass transfer on HIPIB-irradiated materials. Droplet ejection on the ablated metal surface is studied by scanning electron microscope observation, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis and profilometer measurement. The presence of ejected droplets from the irradiated surfaces is detected on both the surfaces of irradiated metals and substrates locating adjacent to the ablated surfaces. Moreover, the number density of droplets observed on both the surfaces tends to increase with increasing the ion current density. This phenomenon correlates to the fact that higher ion-beam intensity led to a more intense ablation, i.e. a severer droplet ejection. In addition, surface roughness (R_a) for the respective metals is continuously increased with increasing the ion current density, indicating a more significant disturbance on the melted surfaces caused by the correspondingly severer droplet ejection. Combined with the previous finding of selective ablation on titanium, it is concluded that the droplet ejection is the efficient cause of cratering and disturbance on HIPIB-ablated surfaces.     

Formation of nano-crystalline and amorphous phases on the surface of stainless steel by Nd:YAG pulsed laser irradiation

Thin surface layers consisting of nano-crystalline and amorphous phases on the surface of stainless steel have been attained under the Nd:YAG pulsed laser irradiation. The phases and microstructures were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM). The phase compositions of the surface determined by XRD were α-Fe (ferrite) and γ-Fe (austenite) or only γ-Fe in the near surface region on the bases of the different laser power densities. The nano-crystalline grains with sizes of 4-100 nm could result from high cooling rate and crystallization in amorphous region by homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation. The formation of the amorphous phase was attributed to the higher cooling rates.     

Morphological and structural characterizations of different oxides formed on the stainless steel by Nd:YAG pulsed laser irradiation

The effects of laser surface irradiation on microstructure of AISI 304 stainless steel were investigated. The stainless steel surface was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). XRD patterns indicated that different oxides, such as chromium oxides and manganese oxides were fabricated successfully on the surface of the stainless steel by Nd:YAG pulsed laser irradiation. The effects of the growth conditions such as the laser power density on the morphologies of the different oxides have been investigated. From the FESEM, EDS (energy-dispersive spectrum) and TEM observations, the oxides with triangle-like, quadrangular and hexagonal morphologies have been fabricated successfully. The XPS was used to verify the formed oxides which had been detected by the XRD patterns. It was considered that laser power density had a critical role in the formation of different oxides.     

Accumulation morphology on the surface of stainless steel irradiated by a nanosecond Nd:YAG pulsed laser

In this study, results in the irradiation of stainless steel AISI 304 in air with nanosecond laser pulses at laser irradiation power density 4×10⁷ W/cm² are reported. Laser processing parameters, such as wavelengths 532 and 1064 nm, pulse duration 20 ns and repetition rate 10 Hz were used. It is shown that the surface morphology of the stainless steel is related to the number of pulses applied to the same spot. The following surface morphological changes were observed: (i) occurrence of the micro-grains microstructures at wavelengths 532 and 1064 nm after 10 000 pulses irradiation and (ii) occurrence of vermiform-like microstructures at wavelength 1064 nm after 1000 pulses irradiation. Generally, it is concluded that irradiation due to several consecutive pulses caused significant damage and enhanced the stainless steel surface roughness.     

Thermally oxidised rutile-TiO2 coating on stainless steel for tribological properties and corrosion resistance enhancement

In the present work, a novel process has been developed to improve the tribological and corrosion properties of austenitic stainless steels. Efforts have been made to deposit titanium coatings onto AISI 316L stainless steel by magnetron sputtering, and then to partially convert the titanium coatings to titanium oxide by thermal oxidation. The resultant coating has a layered structure, comprising of rutile-TiO₂ layer at the top, an oxygen and nitrogen dissolved α-Ti layer in the middle and a diffuse-type interface. Such a hybrid coating system showed good adhesion with the substrate, improved corrosion resistance, and significantly enhanced surface hardness and tribological properties of the stainless steel in terms of much reduced friction coefficient and increased wear resistance.     

Microstructure evolution on the surface of stainless steel by Nd:YAG pulsed laser irradiation

New structure phenomena with the grain sizes of 60 nm to 1 μm would be expected on the stainless steel surface by Nd:YAG pulsed laser irradiation. Nano-structures with various shapes and sizes were formed mainly during the solidification and most shapes of particles were diversiform according to different distances from the center of the spot. The morphologies were of equiaxed nano-particles and faceted hexagons. The surface re-solidification velocities have been estimated according to the numeral simulation of the thermal conditions. It was proved by the XRD that they were mainly consisted of γ-Fe and manganese oxides. The XPS results confirmed the EDS results that on the surface the alloy elemental composition in the outermost layer were rich in Mn and poor in Fe and in reverse in the center of the laser spot. Through observation of morphologies grown on the laser irradiated surfaces, direct evidence of growth mode transition from a continuous form to a lateral form was provided in one laser spot.
