Sequential ion-electron irradiation of zirconium carbide ceramics: Microstructural analysis

Zirconium Carbide (ZrC_x) was irradiated with 10 MeV Au³⁺ ions to a dose of 10 displacements per atoms (dpa) and subsequently with 100 and 300 keV electrons in a transmission electron microscope (TEM). After ion irradiation, dislocation loops were observed in the microstructure and an increase in the number of carbon vacancies was revealed by Raman spectroscopy. Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) analysis showed that neither amorphization nor oxidation occurred during ion irradiation of the specimen. Subsequent electron irradiation of the pre-implanted ZrC_x foil led to formation of nanosized tetragonal ZrO₂ precipitates (5−10 nm diameter) on the surface of the TEM lamella. The formation of the new oxide phase was not related to the electron beam-induced heating of the specimen, but to electron stimulated oxidation caused by the residual oxygen inside the transmission electron microscope. Changes in size and density of ZrO₂ crystallites were observed between the pristine and ion irradiated ZrC_x regions following electron irradiation, suggesting that the initial microstructure of the ZrC_x substrate played a key role in the nucleation and growth of the oxide islands. The obtained results provide insights into the microstructural response of ZrC_x to different types of radiation and the inadvertent effects of the electron beam during TEM analysis of in-situ and ex-situ ion irradiated ZrC_x. Additionally, the findings of this work suggest a method to prepare local ZrO₂ nanoprecipitates within ZrC_x grains by selective electron beam irradiation.     

等离子喷涂Al2O3-3%TiO2涂层结构及加载绝缘性能

目的研究等离子喷涂Al_2O_3-3%TiO_2涂层的抗低温冲击性能和外部载荷下的绝缘性能等综合性能,探讨大气等离子喷涂技术作为核聚变反应堆磁体支撑结构绝缘涂层制备方法的可行性。方法采用大气等离子喷涂技术在喷砂处理的A286基体上制备Al_2O_3-3%TiO_2涂层并进行封孔处理,利用XRD、SEM等手段对涂层的微观结构和常规性能进行表征,重点关注了涂层的低温热冲击性能和加载绝缘性能。结果喷涂粉末充分熔融及铺展而沉积为典型的层叠状结构,涂层的结合强度达30 MPa,孔隙率可控制在5%以内。均匀涂刷在涂层表面的硅树脂封孔剂有利于填充涂层孔隙和微裂纹,封孔剂在涂层内部的渗透深度可达到大约100μm。从室温水浴到液氮进行10个循环的热冲击试验后,涂层未发现裂纹和剥落,且热冲击对绝缘性能没有显著影响。250 MPa压缩载荷下,涂层的表面电阻率明显降低,但仍高于30 MΩ/sqr。结论 Al_2O_3-3%TiO_2涂层可作为高载荷和低温环境下使用的潜在绝缘材料,而大气等离子喷涂将成为制备核聚变反应堆磁体支撑结构关键部件绝缘涂层的重要选择。     

Hot corrosion behavior of porous nickel-based alloys containing molybdenum in the presence of NaCl at 750 °C

The hot corrosion of porous Ni-23Cr-xMo (0%, 4.5%, 9.0%, 13.5%, mass fraction) alloys tested at 750 °C under cyclic procedure was investigated in order to elucidate the effect of Mo addition on hot corrosion in the presence of NaCl. The hot corrosion experiments were performed at 750 °C in air with 4 mg cm^− 2 NaCl deposit. The performance of the alloys was evaluated by the results of weight change kinetics. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were used to characterize the corrosion products. The results indicate that NaCl accelerated the oxidation of the alloys by chloridized elements Mo and Cr. Among the porous Ni-23Cr-xMo alloys, Ni-23Cr-9Mo alloy exhibited the best hot corrosion resistance due to the formation of NiO-NiCr₂O₄-Cr₂O₃ oxide scales. Furthermore, these oxide scales were confirmed more effective to protect the alloys after adding of Mo.     

A model of splats deposition state and wear resistance of WC-10Co4Cr coating

In this research both low temperature high velocity oxygen-fuel flame (LT-HVOF) and high velocity oxygen-fuel flame (HVOF) techniques were employed to prepare WC-10Co4Cr splats and coatings. In situ cutting of WC-10Co-4Cr splats was carried out with focused ion beam (FIB), and a model was proposed to describe how the wear resistance of WC-10Co4Cr coatings was correlated with its residual stress state and the splats deposition state. It was observed that in LT-HVOF spraying process, WC-10Co4Cr splats were slightly melted showing "hill" shape, while in HVOF spraying process, the splats were half melted having the appearance of "concavity". The residual stress of WC-10Co4Cr coatings is determined by the size, melting state, flight speed and temperature gradient of splats. In this paper, the quantitative function formula involving heating temperature and the flight speed of the powder is put forward for the first time to predict the wear resistance of the WC-10Co4Cr coatings. This will provide a theoretical basis for engineering practice and an effective way to save costs.     

Local microstructure of Ge layers buried in a silicon crystal studied by extended X-ray absorption fine structure

The local structure of Si-capped Ge quantum dots formed in Stranski–Krastanov growth mode on a (001) Si substrate was probed by X-ray absorption at the Ge K-edge. Analysis by extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) was performed under the assumption of a solid solution model of the Si distribution inside the quantum dots (QDs) and taking into account polarization effects. It was found that QDs formed for 8 ML are strained and the Ge–Ge and Ge–Si bond lengths vary with direction. The Si content inside the QDs was found to be at a level of ∼25 at.% for strained (8 ML sample) QDs and ∼12 at.% for unstrained (10 ML sample) QDs. This work demonstrates the usefulness of EXAFS analysis for the determination of the local atomic structure in covered low-dimensional structures.     

Zirconia-alumina multiphase ceramic fibers with exceptional thermal stability by melt-spinning from solid ceramic precursor

Zirconia-alumina multiphase ceramic fibers with 80 wt% (Z80A20 fiber) and 10 wt% (Z10A90 fiber) proportions of zirconia were prepared via melt-spinning and calcination from solid ceramic precursors synthesized by controllable hydrolysis of metallorganics. The zirconia-alumina multiphase fibers had a diameter of about 10 µm and were evenly distributed with alumina and zirconia grains. The Z80A20 and Z10A90 ceramic fibers had the highest filament tensile strength of 1.78 GPa and 1.87 GPa, respectively, with a peak value of 2.62 GPa and 2.71 GPa. The Z80A20 ceramic fiber has superior thermal stability compared to the Z10A90 ceramic fiber and a higher rate of filament strength retention due to the stability in grain size. After heat treatment at 1100 °C, 1200 °C, and 1300 °C for 1 h respectively, the filament tensile strength retention rate of Z80A20 ceramic fibers was 87 %, 80 %, and 40 %. While Z10A90 ceramic fiber was fragile after being heated at 1300 °C. The results showed that the high zirconia content facilitated the fiber's thermal stability.     

PS-PVD制备粘结层及其对热障涂层性能的影响

目的探究真空热处理对PS-PVD制备的粘结层的影响,并研究PS-PVD制备粘结层对热障涂层性能的影响。方法采用PS-PVD技术在高温合金基体上制备不同材料体系的粘结层和陶瓷层,采用真空热处理和高温氧化试验,对粘结层与基体界面间的元素扩散过程以及不同材料粘结层对热障涂层抗氧化性能的影响进行研究,并通过X射线衍射和EDS能谱对涂层的物相及元素分布进行分析。结果通过PS-PVD制备的不同粘结层体系的热障涂层试样,在近粘结层处的陶瓷层物相组成并无明显区别。粘结层与基体的元素扩散情况受真空热处理时间和温度的影响,随着真空热处理时间的延长,基体一侧的富铝相逐渐增多。当热处理8 h后,形成的扩散区的宽度已超过20μm;随着热处理温度的提高,同样也形成了更宽的扩散区。NiCoCrAlYTa/7YSZ热障涂层氧化100h后,TGO层的厚度达到4.0μm,氧化150h时,涂层发生脱离。NiCrAlY/7YSZ热障涂层氧化150 h后,TGO层的厚度达到4.4μm,但未出现脱离现象。结论热处理的时间越长,温度越高,粘结层与基体的元素扩散行为越剧烈。不同的粘结层材料会影响热障涂层的氧化动力学过程。     

Structural stabilization of EBC with thermal energy reflection at high temperatures

Structural stability of an environmental barrier coating (EBC) with thermal energy reflection function that has a periodic layered structure consisting of Y₂Ti₂O₇ (YT) and Al₂O₃ is essential to maintenance of the EBC performance at high temperatures. The effect of adding Al to YT layer on the structural stability was investigated using model samples in which Al₂O₃ layer was formed on both the YT and Al-doped YT (AYT) substrate by aerosol deposition (AD). Exposure to heat selectively dissipated the Al₂O₃ layer on the YT substrate near the interface between the layer and the grain boundaries of the substrate. In contrast, the Al₂O₃ layer on the AYT substrate remained intact upon heating when Al was added at the solid solution limit. The Al₂O₃ layer was found to exhibit a pronounced degree of (0001) basal plane texture. An increase in the impact velocity of particles during AD effectively developed the basal fiber texture.
