聚合物浸渍裂解法制备C/C-ZrC复合材料及其性能

本文以低密度C/C复合材料为坯体,有机锆聚合物为前驱体,采用聚合物浸渍裂解法(PIP)制备C/C-ZrC复合材料,并对其微观结构、力学性能、烧蚀性能以及烧蚀机理进行了研究。结果表明ZrC在材料内分布均匀,密度为2.05g·cm~(-3)的C/C-ZrC复合材料其弯曲强度为89.70MPa,呈脆性断裂。经氢-氧焰烧蚀150s后其线烧蚀率为-2.2×10~(-3)mm·s~(-1),质量烧蚀率为-1.0×10-3g·s~(-1),远低于密度为1.86g·cm~(-3)的C/C复合材料(线烧蚀率:4.4×10~(-3) mm·s~(-1),质量烧蚀率:7.5×10~(-4)g·s~(-1));在烧蚀的过程中,ZrC表现出优先氧化,同时生成的ZrO_2阻挡层能有效阻挡热量的传递和氧气的渗透,提高了材料的抗烧蚀性能。     

烧蚀角度对C/C复合材料烧蚀行为的影响EI北大核心CSCD

烧蚀角度对C/C复合材料的耐烧蚀性能有显著的影响,采用自主研发的氧-煤油烧蚀实验系统对轴棒法编织的三维四向C/C复合材料进行烧蚀/侵蚀实验,实验的典型角度分别为90°,60°,45°,侵蚀时的粒子浓度为1.37%。测算试样的宏观烧蚀率,并采用扫描电镜(SEM)观察了试样烧蚀后的微观形貌。分析了角度对C/C复合材料烧蚀行为的影响规律,并探讨其烧蚀机理。结果表明:不加粒子进行烧蚀实验时,烧蚀角度90°,60°,45°对应的试样质量烧蚀率分别为0.146,0.123,0.100g/s,随烧蚀角度的减小,质量烧蚀率加速降低;加粒子进行侵蚀实验时,烧蚀角度90°,60°,45°对应的试样质量烧蚀率分别为0.452,0.455,0.432g/s,线烧蚀率分别为1.863,1.323,0.843mm/s,随烧蚀角度的减小,质量烧蚀率基本不变,线烧蚀率逐渐降低。烧蚀角度越小,射流的冲刷作用越强,伴随热化学烧蚀的作用,导致烧蚀/侵蚀实验条件下,径向纤维的烧蚀梯度均增加;烧蚀实验条件下,轴向纤维束外沿的受冲刷区域变大。     

Co掺杂CeO2稀磁氧化物陶瓷和纳米颗粒的铁磁性能

分别采用固相烧结法及激光液相烧蚀(LAL)技术,成功制备出Co掺杂CeO_2稀磁氧化物陶瓷块体和纳米颗粒。XRD和SEM研究发现所制备的材料具有良好的结晶性和形貌。Co掺杂CeO_2稀磁氧化物陶瓷块体和纳米颗粒均为多晶立方结构,与纯立方相的CeO_2结构相同,说明Co掺杂未形成其他结构和杂相。磁性测量表明固相烧结法和激光烧蚀液相法制备的Co掺杂CeO_2样品均具有较高的室温铁磁性,且远高于文献中报道的结果。将陶瓷块材经激光烧蚀成纳米颗粒后,纳米颗粒的铁磁性与陶瓷块材保持一致。这说明激光烧蚀法制备的纳米材料可以很好地保持母材的特性,是一种很好的纳米颗粒制备方法。根据XRD和SEM研究结果,笔者认为Co掺杂CeO_2陶瓷块材及纳米颗粒的室温铁磁性是内禀性质;磁性产生的机理源于氧空位诱导的铁磁性耦合。     

Investigation of Ablation Efficiency of Stainless Steel Using Pulsed Lasers in Burst Mode

Due to its high corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, stainless steel is commonly used in various industrial applications. Although different types of stainless steel are similar in their chemical composition, they can differ significantly in their thermal diffusivity. This property is relevant in the ability of a material to conduct heat and thus, in laser processing. In this frame, this study compares the ablation efficiency and characteristics of polished stainless steel samples of the alloys AISI 304, AISI 420, and AISI 316Ti. They are irradiated with single ultrashort pulses having pulse durations between 250 fs and 10 ps as well as using GHz burst modii. The goal is to investigate the differences in both the ablation threshold and the ablation rate to improve the ablation efficiency. The results show that shorter pulse durations lead to a more efficient ablation process. On the other hand, GHz bursts are found to be, in general, less efficient. In addition, there is a significant difference in the surface morphology depending on the process parameters. The differences in the thermal diffusivity do not significantly influence the ablation threshold fluence but surface morphology and the ablation rate.     

Spark discharge generator as a stable and reliable nanoparticle synthesis device: Analysis of the impact of process and circuit variables on the characteristics of synthesized nanoparticles

Nanotechnology offers the promise of harnessing quantum properties not available in the bulk phase. These desirable properties are highly dependent on size and composition. Generators that control these variables are therefore essential for progress in the field. The spark discharge generator (SDG) is an outstanding aerosol route for nanoparticle synthesis, which stands out due to its fast kinetics, scalability, high purity, accuracy and reproducibility, with the added advantage of allowing the synthesis of nanoparticles of any conducting material. These advantages are a consequence of its vast heating and cooling rates, its intrinsic and easily controllable electronic variables at the reach of a click. However, the mechanistic impact of these variables on the actual aerosol generated is still not fully understood. In this work, we constructed an SDG and systematically studied its behavior with particular interest in the effect that resistance, capacitance, inductance, flow rate, gap separation and current have on the electrical behavior of the spark. Our model system produced primarily Fe and Cu nanoparticles with measured concentrations ranging 5*10⁵ – 2*10⁷ part/cm³, and mean agglomerate sizes of 5 – 80 nm. We discuss how the spark influences particle size and number concentration and provide useful correlations that link dependent with independent variables. Remarkably, a finite resistance produces a maximum in the output of the generated aerosols. This suggests a direct link between RLC properties of the circuit and cabling into the frequency of the spark, and nanoparticle number concentration, indicating potential for exploiting such behavior towards maximizing nanoparticle generation. Furthermore, we discuss a link between spark oscillations and energy release with its consequent aerosol generation.

Ir protective coatings for carbon structural materials

Ir coatings were deposited on the heat-treated C/C composites and graphite by double glow plasma. Microstructure and morphology of the coating and substrate were observed by SEM and TEM. The effect of the surface treatment for the carbon structural materials on the microstructure of the coating was investigated. Many large gaps and pores appeared on the surface of the substrates after heat treatment. The Ir coating did not fully covered on the surface of heat-treated C/C composite and graphite substrates because of the large gaps and pores on the surface of substrates. The Ir coating exhibited excellent ablation resistance at super-high temperature. After super-high temperature ablation, the coating kept the integrity, but the coating was weekly bonded to the substrates. Some microcracks and micropores appeared on the surface of as-ablated coating. The Ir coating would need thick enough to cover and fill the large microgaps and micropores on the surface of the heat-treated C/C and graphite substrates.     

Fabrication of particle-free thin films by laser ablation combined with an electron beam

Particle-free silicon and nickel thin films were successfully fabricated by laser-ablating a melted section of their target surface, which gives a high evaporation pressure at the melting point. The influence of direct evaporation from a melted target was reduced negligibly by melting the target only locally with a focused electron beam (e-beam) and increasing the laser frequency. The silicon films fabricated by the present method, pulse laser deposition of a partially molten target, were able to firmly adhere to the substrates and withstood steel needle scratching, unlike e-beam-evaporated films.
