Hydrogen embrittlement of high strength steel electroplated with zinc-cobalt alloys

Slow strain rate tests were performed on quenched and tempered AISI 4340 steel to measure the extent of hydrogen embrittlement caused by electroplating with zinc-cobalt alloys. The effects of bath composition and pH were studied and compared with results for electrodeposited cadmium and zinc-10%nickel. It was found that zinc-1%cobalt alloy coatings caused serious hydrogen embrittlement (EI 0.63); almost as severe as that of cadmium (EI 0.78). Baking cadmium plated steel for 24 h at 200 °C gave full recovery of mechanical properties but specimens plated with zinc-1%cobalt and then baked still failed in 89% of the time of unplated controls. It was shown that hydrogen uptake and embrittlement could be controlled by depositing thin layers of cobalt or nickel at the steel/coating interface. For example, the least embrittlement was caused by zinc-10%nickel (EI 0.037) due to a nickel rich layer with very low hydrogen diffusion coefficient that formed during the initial stages of electroplating. Similarly, a 0.5 μm nickel layer was effective in lowering the embrittlement caused by zinc-1%cobalt to that of zinc-10%nickel. Furthermore, a 0.5 μm cobalt layer deposited before a zinc-1%cobalt coating gave virtually 100% recovery of mechanical properties after baking.

An electrochemical method for the preparation of Mg–Li alloys at low temperature molten salt system

Mg–Li alloys have been prepared by electrolysis in a molten salt electrolyte of 50% LiCl–50% KCl (mass%) at low temperature of 420–510 °C. The effects of electrolytic temperature and cathodic current density on alloy formation rate and current efficiency were studied. For the deposition of metallic lithium on the cathode consisting of solid Mg and liquid Mg–Li, both electrolytic temperature and cathodic current density have no obvious influence on current efficiency; while for the deposition of metallic lithium on the solid magnesium cathode, both electrolytic temperature and cathodic current density greatly affect alloy formation rate and current efficiency. The optimum electrolysis condition is—molten salt mixture, LiCl:KCl = 1:1 (mass%), electrolytic temperature: 480 °C, cathode current density: 1.13 A cm⁻². Mg–Li alloys with low lithium content (about 25 wt% Li) were prepared via electrolysis at low temperature following by thermal treatment at higher temperature.

Investigation of the titanium–indium system

The phase diagram of the Ti–In system was determined using DTA, XRD and EDX analyses. The existence of the phases Ti₂In₅ [Mn₂Hg₅ type structure, space group P4/mbm, a=0.99995(3), c=0.29960(2) nm] and Ti₃In [Ni₃Sn type structure, space group P6₃/mmc, a=0.5978(1), c=0.4812(1) nm] was confirmed. The phase previously labeled Ti₃In₂ was found to exist in a narrow homogeneity region near Ti₅₆In₄₄. Rietveld refinement of the XRD powder pattern yielded solutions compatible with a Cu₃Au-type or a BiIn-type crystal structure, but not with a CuAu-type crystal structure. Furthermore, at 38.5 at.% In, a new phase was observed having a γ-brass related crystal structure [Ti₈In₅, space group , a=0.99578(6) nm]. The intermetallic phases were formed by a cascade of peritectic reactions ending in a eutectic at >99 at.% indium between Ti₂In₅ and (In) at 0.4 K below the melting temperature of pure indium.     

Flattening and solidification of thermally sprayed particles

In this article, molybdenum particles were plasma sprayed on copper, zirconia, and glass substrates. The impact of the molten particles was monitored using a fast two-color optical fiber pyrometer focused on a small spot on the substrate surface. The apparent duration of the flattening process and the cooling speed, both determined from the pyrometer signals, were found to depend on the substrate conditions and to vary with coating thickness. The substrate material and its roughness were also found to influence the texture in the sprayed coatings. Furthermore, a transient thermal flow numerical model was used to compute reliable thermal histories of the impinging particles and the underlying lamellae, the interfacial thermal resistance being determined by comparison of experimental thermograms with computed ones.
