The influence of Ce(NO3)3·6H2O on the inhibitive effect of Ca(NO2)2 in simulated concrete pore solution

The effects of cerium nitrite on corrosion behaviors of carbon steel in simulated concrete pore solutions were studied with the methods of linear polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and surface analysis. In pore solutions in the presence of Ce(NO3)3?6H2O, the corrosion potential, polarization resistance and impedance of carbon steel obviously increased in contrast to the situation in the absence of cerium salts. The pore solution with [NO2-] / [Cl-] = 0.3 and 0.1% Ce(NO3)3?6H2O, carbon steel shows better corrosion resistance than that in the pore solution with [NO2-] / [Cl-] = 0.6, which indicates that a small amount of Ce(NO3)3?6H2O in pore solutions can effectively promote passivation of the steel and reduce the threshold [NO2-] / [Cl-] ratio for corrosion control. The surface layer formed in cerium salt containing pore solutions is more compact and smooth and 1.36%Ce is examined on the sample surface. The addition of 0.1% Ce(NO3)3?6H2O in pore solutions can decrease the corrosion rate of steel in pore solutions and has little influence on pH change of the solutions. However, more cerium nitrate addition above 0.1% may result in pH decrease of the solution.     

Preparation of YAG powder by co-precipitation method in a narrow pH-change environment

YAG(Y3Al5O12) powder was prepared by co-precipitation method.To avoid pH values changing intensely during titration process,the 4 3 NH HCO solution with 4 3 NH NO was used as precipitant solution.The pH change of precipitant solution during titration process,compositions of precursor,phase formation process and morphology of the prepared powder were investigated by means of pH meter,FT-IR,XRD and TEM.The results show that the presence of 4 3 NH NO in 4 3 NH HCO solution is crucial to alleviate the pH change,lower the calcination temperature and meliorate the morphology of YAG powder.The mechanisms were studied in detail.The YAG phase can be obtained at a lower temperature of 900 ℃.The obtained powder,composed of elliptical particles,showed a meliorated morphology.     

Microstructures and wear resistance of chromium coatings on P110 steel fabricated by pack cementation

In order to obtain a high-performance surface on P110 steel that can meet the requirements in oil/gas field environment, the chromium coatings were fabricated by pack cementation. The chromium coatings differed in with/without the addition of La₂O₃. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and microhardness tester were employed to investigate the surface morphologies, surface element distributions, microstructures, phase constitutions and microhardness of the coatings. Friction-wear tests of the P110 steel substrate and the coatings were conducted in air at ambient temperature and humidity. The results show that uniform and continuous coatings are formed on P110 steel regardless of adding La₂O₃ or not. The chromium coatings consist of Cr₂₃C₆, Cr₇C₃, and (Cr, Fe)₇C₃. The La₂O₃-added chromium coating is more beneficial in terms of surface morphology, microstructure, thickness and microhardness as compared with the coating without adding La₂O₃. Chromizing treatment significantly improves the surface hardness and wear resistance of the P110 steel. The wear resistance of the tested samples can be sorted in the following sequence: La₂O₃-coating>no RE-coating>bare P110 steel.     

Preparation of AgSnO2 composite powders by hydrothermal process

Silver-tin oxide powders were synthesized by the hydrothermal method with Ag（NH3）2^＋ solution and Na2SnO3 solution as raw materials and Na2SO3 as reductant. The precipitation conditions of Na2SnO3 solution and the reduction conditions of Ag（NH3）2^＋ were also investigated. The powders prepared were characterized by differential thermal analysis （DTA）, X-ray diffraction analysis （XRD）, scanning electron microscope （SEM） and energy spectrum analysis, The results show that pH value of the solution is a key parameter in the formation of Sn（OH）4 precipitate and the reduction reaction of Ag（NH3）2^＋ can release H^＋ ions, which results in synchronous precipitation of Sn（OH）6^2- as Sn（OH）4. The reduction of Ag（NH3）2^＋ and precipitation of Na2SnO3 occur simultaneously and the coprecipitation of silver and tin oxide is reached by the hydrothermal method. The silver-tin oxide composite powders have mainly flake shape of about 0.3 μm in thickness and there exists homogeneous distribution of tin oxide and silver in the powder synthesized.     

Preparation of core-shell Cu-Ag bimetallic powder via electroless coating

In the processes of sensitization and activation, AgNO₃ replaces the conventional PdCl₂, which solves the impurity of bath. Oxide film on the surface of copper powders was tested by chemical analysis. Ag element tested by XRD and XRF is in the form of Ag⁰ and exists on the surface of copper powders, which acts as catalyzer in reduction reaction. Morphology and composition of the coating were characterized by SEM and XRD respectively. Funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China(50474047)     

Sand-wear resistance of brush electroplated nanocomposite coating in oil and its application to remanufacturing

Sand-wear resistance of nano scale alumina particle reinforced nickel matrix composite coating (n-Al₂O₃/Ni) prepared by brush electroplating technique was investigated via wear tests in sand-contaminated oil lubricant, comparing with that of AISI1045 steel and brush electroplated Ni coating. Effects of testing load, sand content and sand size on worn volume of the three materials, and also coating surface roughness on worn volume of the brush electroplated coatings were accessed. Results show that the worn volume of all the three materials increases with increasing of testing load, sand content and sand size. In the same conditions, n-Al₂O₃/Ni composite coating has the smallest worn volume while AISI1045 steel has the largest because of the n-Al₂O₃ particle effects. As to n-Al₂O₃/Ni and Ni coatings, the surface-polished coatings have obviously lower worn volume than the as-plated coatings. The brush electroplated n-Al₂O₃/Ni composite coating was employed to remanufacture the sand-worn bearing seats of a heavy vehicle and good results were gained.

Moisture-proof and enhanced effect of inorganic coating on porous Si<Subscript>3</Subscript>N<Subscript>4</Subscript> ceramic

Inorganic coating was fabricated on the surface of the porous Si₃N₄ ceramic by polymer derived (PD) and spraying technology, via using vinyl-polysilazane (PSN-1) as a preceramic polymer and Si₃N₄ and lithium aluminosilicate (LAS) powders as fillers. The phase and microstructure of the coatings were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The effect of the coatings on mechanical property and humidity resistance of the porous Si₃N₄ ceramic was investigated. The experimental results showed that we successfully fabricated the uniform and dense coating which preferably combined with the substrate upon the addition of fillers. The bending strength of the porous Si₃N₄ ceramic sprayed the coating increased by more than 18%, and the surface hardness increased by 1.7 times. The apparent porosity of the materials reduced by an average of 97.7%, and water absorption was below 0.5%. Therefore, the prepared coating with preferable density had an obviously moisture-proof and enhanced effect on the porous Si₃N₄ ceramic.     

Effect of salt spray corrosion on tribological properties of HVOF sprayed NiCr-Cr<Subscript>3</Subscript>C<Subscript>2</Subscript> coating with intermediate layer

The objective of the present work was to determine the influence of the neutral salt spray corrosion on the wear resistance of HVOF sprayed NiCr-Cr₃C₂ coating with intermediate layer. Ni-Zn-Al₂O₃ coatings as interlayers were prepared by low pressure cold spray (LPCS) between NiCr-Cr₃C₂ cermet coatings to form a sandwich structure to enhance the corrosion resistance properties. The tribological properties were examined using the UMT-3 fricition and wear tester by line-contact reciprocating sliding under dry and salt spray one week corrosion. The morphology, element distribution, and phase compositions of the coating and worn sufaces were analyzed by using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, and X-ray diffraction respectively. The corrosion behavior of the coating was studied by the open-circuit potential, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, potentiodynamic polarization, and salt spray corrosion methods. It is found that the sandwich structured coating has better corrosion resistance than the single layer coating. The results show that under dry wear conditions, the wear mechanism is abrasive and adhesive wear, whereas under salt spray corrosion conditions it becomes corrosion wear. The friction coefficient of the sandwich structured coating after salt spray corrosion is slightly lower than the dry friction coefficient, but the weight of the wear loss is lower than that under dry condition.     

Microstructure and corrosive property of Ni-P/nano-CeO<Subscript>2</Subscript> coating electrolessly prepared in acidic condition

Electroless Ni-P/nano-CeO₂ composite coating was prepared in acidic condition, and its microstructure and corrosive property were compared with its CeO₂-free counterpart. Scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), transmission electronic microscopy (TEM) and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) were used to examine surface morphology and microstructure of the coating. Aqueous corrosion was done in 3%NaCl+5%H₂SO₄ solution and high temperature oxidation was done at 750 °C in air. The results showed that Ni-P coating had partial amorphous structure mixed with nano-crystals, while the Ni-P/CeO₂ coating had perfect amorphous structure. At high temperature, Ni3P precipitation and Ni crystallization took place in both coatings at different temperatures. Aqueous corrosion property and high temperature oxidation property of the composite coating were remarkably improved due to the coating’s microstructure change and the rare earth doping effect. During the co-deposition process, some Ce ⁿ⁺(n=3, 4) ions may be adsorbed to metal/solution interface and hinder nickel deposition. Ni-P/CeO₂ coating’s perfect amorphous structure results from the hindered crystal- typed deposition of nickel and the promoted deposition of phosphorous.     

Influence of dioxin reduction on chemical composition of sintering exhaust gas with adding urea

With the addition of urea as an inhibitor, four groups of reducing dioxin emission experiments in sintering pot were conducted. The results show that, adding 0.05%, 0.1% and 0.5% (mass fraction) urea, the emission concentrations of dioxin are 0.287, 0.258 and 0.217 ng-TEQ/m³, respectively. The dioxin emission rates drop substantially compared to 0.777 ng-TEQ/m³ free of urea. With an increase of the urea content, the concentration of SO₂ emission reduces sharply. (NH₄)₂SO₄, formed by the reaction of SO₂ and NH₃, goes into the dust and part of NH3 is released before reaction with the emission of exhaust gas. The NO _x emission presents an increasing trend because the reaction of NH₃ and O₂ at high temperature produces NO _x . Based on the consideration of factors such as the effect of reducing dioxin emission, and the chemical composition of exhaust gas, 0.05% is the optimum adding content of urea.     

Thermal shock resistances of FeMnCr/Cr<Subscript>3</Subscript>C<Subscript>2</Subscript> coatings deposited by arc spraying

Arc spraying with the cored wires was applied to deposit FeMnCr/Cr₃C₂ coatings on low carbon steel substrates, namely FM1, FM2 and FM3. Thermal shock resistances of the coatings were investigated to assess the influence of Cr₃C₂ content on thermal shock resistance. Characteristics of the coatings under thermal cycling test were studied by optical microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and energy dispersion spectrum (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD). The experimental results show that hardness of the coatings increases, bonding strength decreases slightly with increase of the Cr₃C₂ content of the coatings. As a result, FM2 coating possesses the best thermal shock resistance, attributing to its better thermal expansion matches and wettability than those of FM3 coating, less oxide rate than that of FM1 coating restraining from cracks formation and propagation in coatings.     

Low Temperature Coating of Anatase Thin Films on Silica Glass Fibers by Liquid Phase Deposition

Uniform crystalline TiO2 thin films were coated on silica glass fibers by liquid phase deposition from aqueous solution of ammonium hexafluorotitanate at low temperature. TiO2 thin films and nanopowders were prepared by adding H3BO3 into （NH4）2TiF6 solution supersaturated with anatase nano-crystalline TiO2 at 40 ℃. The effects of the deposition conditions on the surface morphology, section morphology, thickness of the deposited TiO2 thin films were investigated. The results indicate that the growth rate and particle size of the thin films were controlled by both the deposition conditions and the amount of anatase nano-crystalline TiO2.     

Synthesis of mesoporous silica-embedded TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> loaded with Ag nanoparticles for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water splitting

Ag loaded mesoporous silica-embedded TiO₂ nanocomposites were successfully synthesized via two different routes, including one-pot solvothermal method and solvothermal-chemical reduction method, both using Titanium (IV) n-butoxide (Ti(OC₄H₉)₄) as a precursor, formic acid as a solvent and reducing agent, silver nitrate as a silver source and tetraethyl silicate (TEOS) as a stabilizer. The transmission electron microscopic (TEM) images showed that silica-embedded anatase TiO₂ sample exhibited approximately rhombic shape and Ag nanoparticles could be embedded into the nanocomposites or deposited on the surface with high dispersion. The N₂ adsorption-desorption isotherms indicated that the silica-embedded anatase TiO₂ had obvious mesoporous structure with a BET specific surface area of 203.5 m²·g^-1. All Ag loaded silica-embedded TiO₂ composites showed a higher photocatalytic H₂-generation activity from water splitting under simulative solar light irradiation than that of TiO₂ products. The maximum H₂ production rate (6.10 mmol·h^-1·g^-1) was obtained over 2% Ag/silica-embedded TiO₂ nanocomposites (2% Ag/MST) prepared by solvothermal-chemical reduction method, which was 20 times that achieved on the silica-embedded TiO₂ sample. The enhanced photocatalytic H₂-evolution activity of Ag loaded mesoporous silica-embedded TiO₂ nanocomposites can be attributed to the multi-function of surface Ag co-catalyst, mesoporous structure, and embedding of silica.     

Synthesis of ZrAlN coatings with thermal stability at high temperature

Dry machining will result in elevated temperatures at the tool surface (800—1000℃). So, coating materials that can provide protection for cutting tools at these temperatures are of great technological interests. ZrAlN coating is proposed to possess high-temperature stable structural and mechanical properties due to the addition of the alloying element. ZrAlN coatings were grown using a dc reactive magnetron sputtering. The XRD and nano indenter were employed to investigate the effects of reaction gas partial pressure and substrate bias on structural and mechanical properties, as well as high-temperature stability. The ZrAlN coating, when deposited under optimum conditions (-37 V substrate bias and 2×10-5 Pa N2 partial pressure), showed smooth surface with thermal stable hardness. Its internal stress was relaxed from 2.2 to 0.7 GPa after anneal- ing. Formation of Al2O3 and ZrO2 crystalline phases should be related to thermal stability of the coatings.     

Effects of surface chemical properties of activated coke on selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3 over commercial coal-based activated coke

Surface chemical properties of typical commercial coal-based activated cokes were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and acid-base titration, and then the influence of surface chemical properties on catalytic performance of activated cokes of NO reduction with NH₃ was investigated in a fixed-bed quartz micro reactor at 150 °C. The results indicate that the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) activity of activated cokes with the increase of its surface acidic sites and oxygen content, obviously, a correlation between catalytic activity and surface acidic sites content by titration has higher linearity than catalytic activity and surface oxygen content by XPS. While basic sites content by acid-base titration have not correlation with SCR activity. It has been proposed that surface basic sites content measured by titration may not be on adjacent of acidic surface oxides and then cannot form of NO₂-like species, thus the reaction of reduction of NO with NH₃ have been retarded.     

Hot-corrosion mechanism of Ni-Cr coatings at 650°C under different simulated corrosion conditions

The oxidation and lower temperature hot corrosion (LTHC) processes occurring on the surface of Ni-Cr coatings produced by high velocity arc spray (HVAS) were studied. Several different conditions were studied under simulated boiler conditions at 650°C. The protection effect of an Al coating deposited by HVAS onto the Ni-Cr coating was also investigated. Microscope, X-ray diffraction and corrosion rate curves have been used to analyze corrosion mechanisms. The experimental results show that: 1) The oxidation rates are almost superposed in both air (no SO₃) and in simulated coal-fired gas (containing SO₃) as long as no salt was present on the surface. These rate curves show a logarithmic relationship. 2) When the surface is coated with salt (75%K₂SO₃ + 25%Na₂SO₃) the rate curve for LTHC of the Ni-Cr coated surface shows a parabolic shape in the simulated coal-fire flue gas. In air only the oxidation reaction takes place, the second type of LTHC was not seen. And 3) the Al over coating on the Ni-Cr enhances resistance to LTHC because an inter-metallic compound, Al₃Ni₂, forms at the Al/Ni-Cr interface and because of the increase in coating thickness.

Influence of annealing time on the microstructure and properties of Pb(Zr0.53Ti0.47)O3 thin films

The PZT thin films were prepared on (111)- Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by sol-gel method, and lead acetate [Pb(CH3COO)2], zirconium nitrate [Zr(NO3)4] were used as raw materials. The X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the phase structure and surface morphology of the films annealed at 650 ℃ but with different holding time. Ferroelectric and dielectric properties of the films were measured by the ferroelectric tester and the precision impedance analyzer, respectively. The PZT thin films were constructed with epoxy resin as a composite structure, and the damping properties of the composite were tested by dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). The results show that the films annealed for 90 minutes present a dense and compact crystal arrangement on the surface; moreover, the films also achieve their best electric quality. At the same time, the largest damping loss factor of the composite constructed with the 90 mins-annealed film shows peak value of 0.9, higher than the pure epoxy resin.
