The role of alkali content in the devitrification mechanisms of SiO2–Fe2O3–Na2O–PbO SYSTEM

Three batch compositions of pure oxides (SiO₂, Fe₂O₃, PbO, Na₂O) with equivalent SiO₂, Fe₂O₃ and PbO contents and a gradually increased Na₂O content were vitrified through heating in a high temperature electric furnace and subsequent quenching. The resulting vitreous products were thermally treated in order to study the devitrification behaviour, under conditions designated from differential thermal analysis experiments. Depending on the Na₂O content, crystal phase separation gave rise to the growth of acmite and hematite or maghemite. A uniformly phase separated glass-ceramic material, with crystallites of similar size and population density, was produced from devitrification of the vitreous product with the higher Na₂O content.

Effect of Y2O3 on microstructural characteristics and wear resistance of cobalt‐based composite coatings produced on TA15 titanium alloy surface by laser cladding

The effects of Y₂O₃ on the microstructure, phase composition of the coatings, microhardness and wear resistance of cobalt‐based composite coatings prepared by laser cladding were investigated. The TA15 titanium alloy was selected as substrate which the cobalt‐based composite powder with different content of Y₂O₃ was cladded on. The microstructure of the coatings was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and metallurgical microscope. The phase structure of the coatings was determined by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), and the microhardness and wear resistance of the coatings were measured by hardness tester and wear testing machine. The results show that the rare earth oxide Y₂O₃ can refine and purify the microstructure of the coatings, reduce the porosities and cracks and improve compactness of the coatings. Moreover the addition of Y₂O₃ improves the microhardness of the coatings and reduces the friction coefficient, thus improving the wear property of the coatings. And the wear resistance of the coating with Y₂O₃ has improved about 50 times; the highest value of microhardness in the coating is HV1181.1. And 0.8 wt% content of Y₂O₃ in the coating is the best choice for improving the microhardness and wear resistance of the coating. It is feasible to improve the microstructure and tribological properties of laser cladding coatings by adding of Y₂O₃. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Characterization of Ti6Al4V implant surface treated by Nd:YAG laser and emery paper for orthopaedic applications

A more noble and biocompatible Ti alloy was achieved at fluence of 140 J cm⁻² where the implant indicated a higher degree of hardness (825HV), higher corrosion resistance (−0.21 V) and highest hydrophilicity (i.e. θ_c = 37°) compared with 70° of the control sample. These values corresponded to 58 and 39 mN m⁻¹ of surface tension respectively. The laser treated samples at 140 J cm⁻² showed higher wettability characteristics than mechanically roughened surface. Cell growth and their spreading condition in a specific area were analyzed by SEM and Image J Program software. Clearly, more cells were attached (1.2 × 10⁵) to and spread (488 μm²) over the surface at 140 J cm⁻² than in any other condition. Pathologically, the treated samples indicated no sign of infection.

Effect of indium content and rapid solidification on microhardness and micro‐creep of Sn‐Zn eutectic lead free solder alloy

The Sn‐Zn alloys have been considered as lead‐free solders. In this paper, the effect of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 wt.% Indium as ternary additions on melting temperature, structure, microhardness and micro‐creep of the Sn‐9Zn lead‐free solders were investigated. It is shown that the alloying additions of Indium to the Sn‐Zn binary system result in a suppression of the melting point to 187.9 °C. From x‐ray diffraction analysis, a new intermetallic compound phase, designated β‐In₃Sn is detected. The formation of an intermetallic compound phase causes a pronounced increase in the electrical resistivity and mechanical strength. Also, an interesting connection between dynamic Young's modulus and the axial ratio (c/a) of the unit cell of the β‐Sn was found in which Young's modulus increases with increasing the axial ratio (c/a). The ternary Sn‐9Zn‐xIn exhibits creep resistance superior to Sn‐9Zn binary alloy. The better creep resistance of the ternary alloy is attributed to solid solution effect and precipitation of In₃Sn in the Sn matrix. The addition of small amounts of In is found to refine the effective grain size and consequently, improves hardness. The 89%Sn‐9%Zn‐2%In alloy is a lead‐free solder designed for possible drop‐in replacement of Pb‐Sn solders. (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

激光沉积修复BT20合金的显微组织和力学性能

针对BT20钛合金锻件当量孔损伤进行激光沉积修复试验,考察了修复试样的组织和力学特点。修复区与基材之间形成了致密冶金结合,Al,Zr,Mo,V合金元素由锻件基体到激光修复区均匀分布,无宏观偏析,硬度分布从基材到修复区依次提高。热影响区组织是由基材的双态组织过渡到网篮组织;修复区组织为粗大的原始柱状晶,晶粒内为/网篮组织,晶内片层取向随机, 宽0.4~0.5 m。修复过程中发现,激光加工工艺参数选择不当、坡度过大等原因会造成修复区组织形成气孔和熔合不良等缺陷,但是通过优化工艺参数可以获得无缺陷修复试样。修复试样的室温静拉伸结果表明,试样的抗拉强度接近锻件基体强度,但修复件的韧性比锻件稍有提高。
