Oxidation Resistance of Ti5Si3 and Ti5Si3Zx at 1000°C (Z = C,N, or O)

The oxidation behavior of Ti₅Si_3+y (y=0 or 0.2) and Ti₅Si₃Z_x (Z=C, N or O, x=0.25 or 0.5) was studied at 1000°C in air or argon–oxygen mixtures for up to 500 h. Ti₅Si₃ has poor oxidation resistance in air because of the formation of an oxide scale rich in rutile and subscale formation of TiN, TiSi, TiSi₂ and Si. In contrast, Ti₅Si_3.2 has excellent oxidation resistance because of the formation of a silica scale. Samples with interstitial oxygen or nitrogen show only slight improvements in the early stages of oxidation, compared to Ti₅Si₃, which is in stark contrast to previous research. However, samples with interstitial carbon displayed excellent oxidation resistance at 1000°C, consistent with previous research.

Synthesis and characterization of La0.8Sr0.2MO3−δ (M=Mn, Fe, or Co) cathode materials by induction plasma technology

In this work, nanopowders of perovskite cathode materials (La_0.8Sr_0.2MnO_3−δ, La_0.8Sr_0.2FeO_3−δ, and La_0.8Sr_0.2CoO_3−δ), for use in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), were successfully synthesized, using induction plasma techniques. Their compositions, structures, morphology, particle size distributions, and BET specific surface areas were determined for comparison with their counterparts prepared by the Pechini method and by the glycine-nitrate combustion (GNC) technique. The particle sizes of the plasma-synthesized powders are mostly around 63 nm. These plasma-synthesized powders are generally globular, their BET specific surface areas being about 26 m²g⁻¹, approximately twice those of powders prepared by the GNC and Pechini methods. These plasma-synthesized powders are readily reproducible and are not agglomerated. Their individual particle sizes and distributions are very independent of their composition.     

TaC涂层的氧化特征与氧化机制

用在空气中氧化、氧炔焰超高温烧蚀等方法对TaC涂层在不同温度的氧化特征与氧化机制进行研究。研究结果表明：TaC在508℃以上开始氧化,在508～690℃时氧化产物为六角Ta2O3固溶体,690～900℃时氧化产物转化为斜方Ta2O5晶体,900～1500℃时氧化产物为斜方Ta2O5,其形态为龟裂或多孔烧结态,未能形成对TaC的隔离保护膜;1500℃氧化时出现部分Ta2O5液相与Ta2O5斜方相共存的现象;在氧炔焰超高温2300℃烧蚀时形成大量的Ta2O5熔体液膜,熔体与TaC的润湿性很好。TaC涂层由低温无熔体情况下界面反应控制机制变为氧通过熔体溶解与扩散的控制机制。

机械合金化Ag-30Cr合金在0.1 Mpa纯氧气中的氧化

采用机械合金化方法制备了Cr含量为30％(质量分数)的两相颗粒极细的Ag—Cr合金，在700℃，800℃及0．1MPa纯氧气中氧化时，机械合金化Ag-30Cr合金外层为Ag层，其下方为复合氧化物AgCrO2，最内层为连续的Cr2O3，这一结构不同于粗晶粒粉末冶金Ag—Cr合金的复杂的混合氧化膜。这主要是由于晶粒的细化加快了Cr颗粒的溶解，加速了Cr从合金到膜的扩散，从而有效地促进Cr2O3层的形成。     

Mechanical strength of PET fibers treated in cold plasma and thermal exposed

As a followup to previous work, experiments with argon and oxygen Radio Frequency plasma treated polyethylene terepthalate (PET) exposed to 100 °C after cold plasma treatment were performed. Tensile tests results in monofilaments treated in oxygen and argon plasma for 5 s, 20 s, 30 s, and 100 s showed a decrease in the average tensile strength compared with the untreated fibers. It was also observed that the reduction in mechanical strength is more significant for argon plasma and very sensitive to the treatment time for oxygen plasma. Experimental data obtained from tensile tests in samples thermal exposed to 100 °C after plasma treatments indicate the same influence of treatment times on mechanical strength, as observed for cold plasma treated fibers. Furthermore, an increase in tensile strength when compared with the samples unexposed to 100 °C was observed. Scanning electron microscopy, used to analyze effects of cold plasma treatment on fibers surfaces, indicates differences in roughness profiles depending on the type of treatment. The distance of roughness interval, D_ri, was a parameter introduced to relate the fibers surface condition and average tensile strength. Statistical analysis of experimental data was performed to explain influences of treatment time, and environmental and temperature effects on mechanical properties.     

IC-6高温合金的氧化性能与防护

测定了IC－6高温合金在900℃－1100℃的氧化动力学曲线。结果表明：900℃，IC－6合金的氧化膜主要由α－Al2O3、NiAl2O4和NiO构成并含有少量的NiMoO4和MOo2.1050℃和1100℃氧化时，IC－6合金表面生成了挥发性很强的MoO3，发生了氧化失重，IC－6合金上沉积NiCoCrAlY涂层后，900℃，涂层的氧化膜主要为α－Al2o3；1050℃时，氧化膜主要为α－Al2O3和Cr2O3，大大改善了合金的抗氧化性；1100℃时，氧化膜主要由α－Al2o3、NiAl2O4和NiO构成，涂层虽然有一定的保护性，但效果不如900℃和1050℃时显著，形成以α－Al2O3和Cr2O3为主的氧化膜是使合金沉积NiCoCrAlY涂层后抗氧化能力大大提高的直接原因。

On the induction plasma deposition of tungsten metal

The central particle injection and long residence time characteristics of induction plasma have given rise to the complete melting of tungsten particles injected into an Ar- H₂ plasma under soft vacuum conditions. The influences of process variables such as power level, chamber pressure, and spray distance on splat morphology, apparent density, and deposition efficiency have been studied. Dense tungsten deposits with no oxidation have been obtained. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs reveal a well-flattened lamellar structure in deposits. Radiative cooling is observed to play a significant role in the plasma spraying of this refractory metal.
