Silver-palladium alloy deposited by DC magnetron sputtering method as lubricant for high temperature application

The silver-palladium(Ag-Pd) alloy coating as a solid lubricant was investigated for its application to the high temperature stud bolts used in nuclear power plants. A hex bolt sample was prepared in the following steps: 1) bolt surface treatment using alumina grit blasting for cleaning and increasing the surface area; 2) nickel(Ni) film coating as a glue layer on the surface of the bolt; and 3) Ag-Pd alloy coating on the Ni film. The films were deposited by using a direct current(DC) magnetron sputtering system. The thickness and composition of the Ag-Pd alloy film have effect on the friction coefficient, which was determined using axial force measurement. A 500 nm-thick Ag-Pd (80:20, molar ratio) alloy film has the lowest friction coefficient of 0.109. A cyclic test was conducted to evaluate the durability of bolts coated with either the Ag-Pd (80:20) alloy film or N-5000 oil. In a cycle, the bolts were inserted into a block using a torque wrench, which was followed by heating and disassembling. After only one cycle, it was not possible to remove the bolts coated with the N-5000 oil from the block. However, the bolts coated with the Ag-Pd (80:20) alloy could be easily removed up until 15 cycles.     

Lubrication properties of silver-palladium alloy prepared by ion plating method for high temperature stud bolt

As a solid lubricant, silver-palladium (Ag-Pd) alloy coating was investigated for the application to high temperature stud bolt. A glue layer nickel (Ni) film was deposited on the surface of the hex bolt sample and then Ag-Pd alloy coating was performed on it using ion plating method. The friction coefficient of Ag-Pd alloy film coated bolt was lower than that of N-5000 oil coated bolt by the result of axial force measurement. The cyclic test of heat treatment was conducted to evaluate the durability of Ag-Pd alloy film coated bolt. In a cycle, sample was assembled into the block using torque wrench, followed by heating and disassembling. It was not successful to disassemble the N-5000 oil coated bolt from the block after only one cycle. However, the Ag-Pd alloy film coated bolt was able to be disassembled softly till 12 cycles.

Anticorrosive magnesium phosphate coating on AZ31 magnesium alloy

A novel anticorrosive film with a thickness of approximately 50 μm was successfully coated on an AZ31 magnesium alloy by chemical and low-heat treatments (50 °C). The film was a single-phase system of newberyite (MgHPO₄•3H₂O) having an orthorhombic crystal structure. The corrosion current density of the newberyite film coated on the AZ31 magnesium alloy decreased by more than two orders of magnitude as compared to that of the AZ31 magnesium alloy. The static water contact angle of the newberyite film was less than 10°. The average value of the scratch critical load for the newberyite coating was estimated to be approximately 15 mN.     

Restoring the tensile properties of PVD-TiN coated Al 7075-T6 using a post heat treatment

In this work, a post heat treatment cycle is proposed with the aim to recover the lost tensile properties of aluminium alloy 7075-T6 coated with a 3 μm thick titanium nitride (TiN) film by using a physical vapour deposition (PVD) process. First, it was found that the application of the PVD hot process with a high operating temperature of 450 °C significantly decreased the tensile properties of the coating-substrate system compared to those of Al 7075-T6. The yield and ultimate strength decreased by 78% and 54%, respectively. However, as a result of re-applying the T6 cycle (as the post heat treatment), substantial improvements of 243% and 77% were achieved in the yield and ultimate strength of the coated material, respectively. Fractography of the failed specimens indicated the TiN coating layer to be satisfactorily adhered to the substrate under tensile loading.

Al/Cr复合涂层对Ti2AlNb合金抗热腐蚀性能的影响

目的改善Ti2AlNb合金在高温腐蚀盐环境中的耐热腐蚀性能。方法在Ti2AlNb合金表面通过双层辉光等离子渗铬及磁控溅射镀铝技术制备Al/Cr复合涂层,分析涂层热腐蚀前后的微观形貌和物相组成,并探究涂覆Na2SO4盐膜的试样在不同温度下(750、850、950℃)的热腐蚀行为。结果Al/Cr复合涂层组织均匀致密,且与基体结合良好,厚度约73μm,由表及里依次由Al沉积层、Al/Cr合金层、Cr沉积层、Cr扩散层四部分组成。经不同温度Na2SO4盐热腐蚀后,Al/Cr复合涂层腐蚀程度均显著小于合金基体。涂层试样经750~850℃Na2SO4盐热腐蚀后质量变化较小,850℃腐蚀增重仅0.525 mg/cm^2,而经历950℃、40 h熔盐热腐蚀后失重达到73.571 mg/cm^2,且试样截面出现剥离、脱落现象,Al/Cr复合涂层抵抗热腐蚀能力减弱。结论具有涂层保护的试样抗热腐蚀性能明显优于合金基体。Al/Cr复合涂层在750~850℃Na2SO4盐环境中具有良好的热腐蚀抗力,而更高温度段(850~950℃)的热腐蚀抗力下降。Al/Cr复合涂层在Na2SO4盐环境中良好的抗热腐蚀性得益于涂层中Al、Cr元素氧化形成以Al2O3、Cr2O3为主的混合氧化膜,有效阻碍外界氧气及腐蚀性介质侵入基体。     

Electric field assisted chemical conversion process of AZ91D magnesium alloy in HCO3−/CO32− solution

A new method for synthesizing Mg–Al hydrotalcite conversion coating on AZ91D Mg alloy was developed by the application of electric field (EF). By using EF technique, the formation time of the coating can be significantly reduced. The SEM results indicate that a continuous and compact Mg–Al hydrotalcite coating is formed on the surface of Mg alloy after short time EF treatment. However, a long time treatment would make the coating partially exfoliate. The corrosion current density (J_corr) of the coated sample (EF1+1 h) is approximately two orders of magnitude lower than that of Mg alloy substrate. The test of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and immersion corrosion also suggest that the coating can effectively protect Mg alloy against corrosion.     

Effect of surface pretreatment by acid pickling on the density of stannate conversion coatings formed on AZ91 D magnesium alloy

Hydrofluoric and hydrochloric acid solutions and a mixture of them were tested as pickling solutions for AZ91 D Mg alloy before application of stannate coatings. Optical microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) of the alloy surface after the pickling process showed that the Mg-rich α phase dissolved preferentially rather than the Al-rich β phase in hydrochloric acid solution. On the other hand, in hydrofluoric acid solution, Mg dissolved in a form of pitting corrosion. Pickling pretreatment with a mixture of these acids at an optimal concentration and an optimal pickling time resulted in relatively uniform dissolution of the alloy surface. The potentiodynamic polarization technique was used to investigate the anodic behavior of the uncoated and coated magnesium alloy in borate buffer solution. The morphology of the coatings was observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) before and after corrosion tests. The experimental results showed that coating film density and corrosion resistance of stannate-coated samples prepared with pickling pretreatment were improved compared with those of the coated sample without pickling pretreatment.

Microstructure and wear properties of silicide based coatings over Mo–30W alloy

The paper deals with the microstructure and wear properties of the Mo-30W alloy, coated with silicide based oxidation resistant coatings using pack cementation technique. The microstructure of the coating revealed that the coating was free of cracks or pores, adherent to the substrate and comprised of either single layer or double layer depending the coating temperature. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) was used to determine diffusion profiles for Mo, W and Si. Reciprocating sliding wear and friction experiments were performed on the uncoated and coated alloy. Double layer coating showed an improved friction coefficient as compared to base alloy as well as a single layer coated alloy. The wear tests also showed a marked improvement of wear resistance of coated alloy as compared to uncoated alloy. The coating was found to be wear resistant at 7 N.     

Investigation of Corrosion Protection Performance of Multiphase PEO (Mg<Subscript>2</Subscript>SiO<Subscript>4</Subscript>, MgO,MgAl<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript>) Coatings on Mg Alloy Formed in Aluminate-Silicate- based Mixture Electrolyte

Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coatings in the aluminate-silicate-based mixture electrolyte solution with different duty cycles were successfully applied on Mg alloy. The corrosion behavior of the samples was evaluated by water contact angle test, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and immersion tests. Hydrophobic PEO coating could be obtained by adjusting the duty cycle of the applied electric signal. This coating considerably diminished the Mg dissolution and could enhance the impedance values of Mg alloy in 3.5 wt % NaCl solution. However, the surface of other PEO coated samples showed more hydrophilic properties compared to that of the uncoated sample. Dense structure of the modified PEO multiphase (including Mg₂SiO₄, MgO and MgAl₂O₄ phases) coating and also its appropriate thickness provided an effective barrier to remarkably delay corrosive solution penetration into the PEO coating. This phenomenon led to major decrease in anodic current density of alloy in chloride solution.     

Surface characterization and immersion tests of TiNi alloy coated with Ta

The surface chemical composition and chemical state of Ti–50.6 at.% Ni alloy samples coated with tantalum by an arc ion plating method were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results of XPS survey and high resolution spectra show that a thin oxide film with Ta₂O₅ in the outmost layer and tantalum suboxides in the inner layer are formed on the tantalum coating as a result of natural passivation of Ta in the atmosphere. The Ni ion release with time from uncoated and coated samples immersed in 0.9%NaCl solution was also investigated by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). Compared to the coated samples, the uncoated samples show a higher release rate that decreases slightly with time. The degree of dissolution for the coated sample is reduced from 0.28 to 0.74 μg/cm² after 49 days, implying the coating has a beneficial effect on the inhabitation of Ni ion release from the TiNi substrate. The atomic force microscope (AFM) images and section analysis show that the root mean square (RMS) roughness increases from 10.349 to 65.587 nm, and the maximum roughness (R_max) increases from 36.027 to 278.22 nm, confirming that immersion in the NaCl solution results in roughening of the coating surface.     

Biodegradation Behavior of Coated As-Extruded Mg–Sr Alloy in Simulated Body Fluid

As-extruded Mg–Sr alloy, a kind of promising biodegradable biomedical material, was coated using micro-arc oxidation and also using a phosphate conversion coating. The corrosion behaviors were investigated using Hanks' solution. The corrosion of the as-extruded Mg–Sr alloy became more serious with increasing immersion time; that is, the corrosion pits became more numerous, larger and deeper. The micro-arc oxidation coating and the phosphate conversion coating were effective in improving the corrosion resistance of the as-extruded Mg–Sr alloy. The micro-arc oxidation coating was much more effective. Moreover, the as-extruded Mg–Sr alloy and the coated as-extruded Mg–Sr alloy exhibited lower corrosion rates than the as-cast Mg–Sr alloy and the corresponding coated as-cast Mg–Sr alloy, indicating that the corrosion properties of the coated samples are dependent on their substrates. The finer microstructure of the substrate of the as-extruded condition corroded much slower. The corrosion resistance of the coated Mg–Sr alloy depended on the coating itself and on the microstructure of the substrate.
