Preparation of a novel Ni/Co-based alloy gradient coating on surface of the crystallizer copper alloy by laser

A high wear-resistant gradient coating made of Ni/Co-based alloys on the surface of a Cu alloy substrate was synthesized using a YAG laser induced in situ reaction method. The coating consists of three layers: the first is a Ni-based alloy layer, the second and third are Co-based alloy layers. The microhardness increases gradually from 98 HV in the Cu alloy substrate to the highest level of 876 HV in the third layer. The main phase of the Co-based alloy layer is CoCr₂(Ni,O)₄, coexisting with the Fe₁₃Mo₂B₅, Cr(Co(Mo, and FeCr_0.29Ni_0.16C_0.06 phases. Wear tests indicate that the gradient coating has good bond strength and wear properties with a wear coefficient of 0.31 (0.50 for the Cu alloy substrate). Also, the wear loss of the coating is only 0.01 g after it has been abraded for 60 min, which is only one fifth of that of the Cu alloy of the crystallizer. Wear tests of the gradient coating reveal good adhesive friction and wear properties when sliding against steel under dry conditions. This novel technique may have good application to make an advanced coating on the surface of the Cu alloy crystallizer in a continuous casting process.     

Extraction of important electrical parameters of CuO

Conductivity, X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical absorption and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements of CuO thin film were presented. Three distinct electrical conduction contributions with discrete characteristic activation energies were observed. The applicability of various theoretical models was considered to explain results on electrical transport. We extracted important electrical parameters of CuO, which might be useful for its gas sensor applications.

Nickel coated on beech wood by electroless nickel coating: effects of complexing agent concentrations on nickel film properties

In order to obtain beech wood substrates with new functions as conductive materials and to develop their utilities in industrial fields, the technique of electroless nickel coating on the beech wood substrate was employed. The influence of complexing agent concentration [Na₂EDTA·2H₂O] on the nickel surface resistivity was studied. The process conditions were Ni(CH₃COO)₂·4H₂O 0.103?mol/L, CH₃CHOCOOH 18.18?mL/L, N₂H₅OH 54.54?mL/L, NaOH 0.193?mol/L, pH value of 9.5, temperature of 75?°C, and the complexing agent concentration varied between 0.012 and 0.061?mol/L. By means of XRD, EDXRF, and SEM, the chemical composition and morphology of the prepared films were investigated. The results showed that when the complexing agent concentration increased from 0.012 to 0.061?mol/L in the electroless nickel coating baths, the gained nickel mass on the beech wood substrate decreased from 17.04 to 9.03?mg/cm², the nickel crystallite sizes reduced from 16.1 to 1.41?nm and the electric measurements demonstrated that the nickel surface resistivity rose from 0.004 to 192.16?kΩ/cm².     

Fracture of diamond coatings by high velocity sand erosion

This paper describes a study of the behaviour of diamond coatings when subjected to solid particle erosion from sand particles. The coatings were deposited by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) onto tungsten substrates and tested using a high velocity air–sand erosion test facility. The erosion tests were conducted using particle impact velocities of between 33 and 268 m/s. Examination of the eroded test specimens showed that the principal damage features were circumferential cracks and pin-holes. Comparison with Hertz impact theory revealed that the measured circumferential crack diameters were more than double the predicted Hertzian contact diameter. Moreover, a trend of increasing circumferential crack diameter with coating thickness, which is not predicted by Hertz, was found. Instead, the crack diameters showed good agreement with those predicted by the theory of stress wave reinforcement, which is more commonly associated with liquid impact damage of brittle materials. During impact, the bulk compression and shear waves are reflected at the rear surface of debonded regions of the coating to return to the front surface and reinforce the Rayleigh surface wave, which generates a tensile stress. Where this stress exceeds the local tensile strength of the coating, a ring of cracks surrounding the area of impact is created. The results from the present study therefore suggest that stress wave reflection is responsible for the formation of the cracks at locally debonded regions of the coating. This hypothesis was supported by images acquired using scanning acoustic microscopy, which showed that circumferential cracks and pin-holes were only found on areas of the coating that had become delaminated by multiple particle impacts during the erosion tests.

Investigations of Pulse‐Plasma‐Polymer Coating on TiO2 Nanoparticles and Their Dispersion

An amorphous acrylic acid (AA) polymer coating was generated on TiO₂ nanoparticles through pulse radio frequency (RF) plasma polymerization. The AA plasma synthesis mechanism was studied by its optical emission spectrum. The chemical structures of AA–plasma‐polymer were carefully investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The dispersion behaviors of AA‐coated and uncoated TiO₂ nanoparticles in glycol solution were characterized by ultraviolet absorbency and particle size distribution measurements. The results showed that the aggregation of TiO₂ nanoparticles in glycol solution was effectively lowered and the dispersion was improved a lot after AA–plasma‐polymer coating. The pulse plasma coating parameters played an important role in the dispersion enhancement of TiO₂ nanoparticles. By properly regulating the pulse discharge parameters, the system could gain the highest radical–monomer reactions rate, the most compatible functional groups on the nanoparticles, and the best dispersion in the background media.
