电磁轨道炮滑动电接触的热效应

为了更准确地反映滑动电接触面的温升过程,建立了电磁轨道炮高速滑动条件下非理想电接触的计算模型,采用有限差分法,对接触电阻热效应进行了计算。计算结果表明:非理想电接触的表面温升明显高于理想接触,接触电阻层的厚度越大,电接触面的温升越快;由于速度趋肤效应的影响,接触电阻热的作用范围主要集中在接触面尾部区域;材料的热导率及输入电流的波形均对接触面温度峰值有重要的影响。研究结果为预测接触表面的材料状态,进而预测接触转捩的发生提供了理论依据。

利用一种小型脉冲功率系统的脉冲形成网络进行波形调制,得到了锯齿、凸顶和平顶脉冲电流波形,利用这三种脉冲电流开展了导轨型电磁驱动系统中的固体电枢滑行实验,通过测量电枢极限出口速度,比较了不同脉冲电流波形对固体电枢滑行性能的影响。结果表明：电流变化急剧的锯齿波形在较低的充放电能量下就会引起固体电枢与导轨界面接触失效,发生烧蚀现象,因而不利于固体电枢的滑行; 相同充放电能量条件下,凸顶波形比平顶波形得到的固体电枢出口测速高,即效率更好; 平顶波形可使固体电枢承受更高的充放电能量,且平顶波形比凸顶波形的极限出口测速高; 三者相比,平顶波形最有利于固体电枢与导轨良好接触,电枢的滑行性能表现得最好。     

Laser cladding of copper with molybdenum for wear resistance enhancement in electrical contacts

Laser cladding of Mo on Cu has been attempted with the aim of enhancing the wear resistance and hence increasing the service life of electrical contacts made of Cu. In order to overcome the difficulties arising from the large difference in thermal properties and the low mutual solubility between Cu and Mo, Ni was introduced as an intermediate layer between Mo and Cu. The Ni and Mo layers were laser clad one after the other to form a sandwich layer of Mo/Ni/Cu. Excellent bonding between the clad layer and the Cu substrate was ensured by strong metallurgical bonding. The hardness of the surface of the clad layer is seven times higher than that of the Cu substrate. Pin-on-disc wear tests consistently showed that the abrasive wear resistance of the clad layer was also improved by a factor of seven as compared with untreated Cu substrate. The specific electrical contact resistance of the clad surface was about 5.6 × 10⁻⁷ Ω cm².     

Role of helium in the sliding and mechanical properties of a vanadium grain boundary:A first-principles study

The effects of helium （He） on the sliding and mechanical properties of a vanadium （V） E5（310）/[001] grain boundary （GB） have been investigated using a first-principles method. It has been found that He was energetically favorable sitting at the GB region with a segregation energy of -0.27 eV, which was attributed to the special atomic configurations and charge density distributions of the GB. The maximal sliding energy barrier of the He-doped GB was calculated to be 1.73 J/m^2, 35% larger than that of the clean GB. This suggested that the presence of He would hinder the V GB mobility. Based on the thermodynamic criterion, the total energy calculations indicated that the embrittlement of V GB would be enhanced by He segregation.     

Effect of surface film on sliding friction and wear of copper-impregnated metallized carbon against a Cu-Cr-Zr alloy

A block-on-ring wear test was performed between a copper-impregnated metallized carbon brush and a Cu-Cr-Zr alloy ring under ambient environment. After 50 km of rubbing at 20 A electrical current and 111 kPa normal pressure at a constant velocity of 25 km/h, a surface film, which was composed of Cu₂O, CuO, C and water, formed on the copper alloy ring due to graphite transfer from the brush to the copper alloy and oxidation of the copper. A second series of friction and wear tests was carried out both with and without this initial surface film and at different electrical currents. The friction coefficient and wear mass loss were compared. The results showed that the initial surface film could reduce the friction coefficient in the presence of an electrical current, but in the absence of an electrical current, the film's lubricating performance gradually degraded as the test progressed. Wear mass losses caused by the rubbing of the brushes against the rings having an initial surface film were lower when the electrical currents were 0 A, 10 A and 15 A, respectively, while the situation was reversed when the electrical current was 20 A, i.e., the wear mass loss of the brush specimen rubbing against a ring with an initial surface film was higher than that of a ring without it.
