The corrosion and corrosion-wear behaviour of plasma nitrided 17-4PH precipitation hardening stainless steel

Plasma surface nitriding of 17-4 PH martensitic precipitation hardening stainless steels was conducted at 350 °C, 420 °C and 500 °C for 10 h using a DC plasma nitriding unit, and the surface properties of the plasma surface engineered samples were systematically evaluated. Experimental results have shown that the surface properties of the plasma nitrided layers in terms of hardness, wear resistance, corrosion behaviour and corrosion-wear resistance are highly process condition dependent, and it is feasible to provide considerable improvement in wear, corrosion and corrosion-wear resistance of 17-4PH steel using optimised plasma treatment conditions. All three treatments can effectively improve the surface hardness and the sliding wear resistance under unlubricated conditions; high temperature (420 °C and 500 °C) treated materials revealed improved corrosion and corrosion-wear properties due to the formation of surface compound layers.

Anti-oxidation mechanism of SiC-B4C-C composites

Mixture of green petroleum coke, B4 C and SiC together with short carbon fiber were employed as starting materials, the mixture was press formed without any binder after grinding, dense and homogeneous binderless SiC-B4 C-C（carbon/ceramic） composites were then obtained after sintering. Composites thus prepared possess excellent anti-oxidation property, that is, mass loss less than IG within the temperature range from 900 to 1 100 ℃ for 10 h. Anti-oxidation mechanism was also discussed from the viewpoint of thermodynamics, excellent anti-oxidation property of materials thus prepared can be discribed to 1） solid SiO2 formed from SiC, which restrains the filtering of oxygen and simultaneously, its volume expansion brought about by the reaction takes roles both walling up the original pores and making the material more compact; 2） liquid B2O3 from the reaction of B4C not only makes the combination with C, B4 C and SiC tighter through forming solid solution, but also effect of reaction SiC（s）＋2CO（g） =SiO2 （s）＋3C（s） is an expansive process, which improves the microstructure of the material.     

X70管线钢在近中性及高pH值溶液中的电化学行为和SCC敏感性

采用动电位极化曲线测试法研究了温度、通气条件和pH值对X70管线钢在NS4溶液和0.5 mol/LNa2CO3 1 mol/L NaHCO3溶液中的电化学极化行为的影响,并用慢应变速率试验(SSRT)研究了X70管线钢在这些溶液中的应力腐蚀破裂(SCC)敏感性。结果表明,X70管线钢在NS4溶液中不出现活化—钝化转变区,随外加电位负移,SCC敏感性增加,表现出氢致破裂(HIC)的特征;在0.5 mol/L Na2CO3 1 mol/L NaHCO3高pH值溶液中出现活化—钝化转变区,在阴极极化区,也表现出氢致破裂(HIC)的特征,但在阳极极化区,发生的是阳极溶解型应力腐蚀破裂(ADSCC)。

Effect of some ternary additions on the sulfidation of Ni-Mo alloys

Five ternary additions, Cr, Ti, Mn, V, and Al were studied at equi-atomicpercent levels (17 a/o) for their effect on the sulfidation behavior of Ni-19a/o Mo (28–30 w/o) over the range of 600–800°C in 0.01 atm S₂. Al was by far the most effective addition. A linear decrease in log k_p vs. Al content was observed up to 7.5w/o Al, beyond which no further change was observed. All alloys followed the parabolic rate law. Arrhenius plots gave activation energies of 36.9–41.2 Kcal/mol for alloys containing Ti, Cr, Mn, and V, whereas the activation energies for Al-containing alloys were 47.2 Kcal/mol, indicating that a different diffusion process was involved. Complex scales were formed on all alloys, consisting of an outer layer of Nis_1+x and complex inner layers which depended upon alloy composition. Two alloys, those with Cr and Mn, formed intermediate layers of Cr₂S₃ and MnS, respectively, but these layers had little effect on the kinetics. MoS₂ was a constituent of the inner scales except for the alloys with Al. A ternary sulfide, Al_0.55Mo₂S₄ and Al₂S₃ were observed. The presence of the mixed sulfide was always associated with the low sulfidation rates. The formation of MoS₂ on alloys results in a different, less-protective behavior than for MoS₂ formed on pure Mo. This effect is due to the intercalation of Ni into MoS₂ in octahedral positions between the weakly bonded layers of covalently bonded sheets of trigonal prisms. The size of Al⁺³ is too small to be intercalated, and thus MoS₂ is destabilized by Al.     

制备多物相AlTiC合金的Ti与C熔体反应法

将Ti与C同时加入Al熔体可制备出Ti与C摩尔比分别大于、等于、小于4的3种含不同物相的Al—TiC合金：Al—TiAl3-TiC、Al—TiC、Al-Al4C3-TiC。对纯铝的细化实验表明：不含过量Ti的后两种合金的细化效果相近，Al4C3在Al—TiC合金中的大量出现不会进一步降低合金的细化能力；含TiAl3的第一种合金的细化效率远高于后两者的；TiC物相在基体中以离散颗粒或聚集团形式在Al基体中分布；Al4C3相极脆，易与空气中的水蒸汽反应而分解。分析表明Ti与C在Al熔体中反应生成TiC是通过两条途径同时进行的：熔体中的固体C颗粒与溶解态的Ti直接反应；固体C颗粒和Al反应生成的A4C3与溶解态的Ti发生反应。     

High-energy NdFeB magnets and their applications

In sintered NdFeB magnets, additive elements for increasing coercivity decrease residual magnetization. Also, fine magnetic powder oxidization prevents identification of the stoichiometry composition (Nd ₂Fei₁₄B).To improve the magnetic properties of a sintered NdFeB magnet, the authors have developed a method involving two alloys. Magnetic Nd ₂Fei₁₄Balloy and a rare- earth- rich alloy (including richer dysprosium content) are melted individually and mixed together after coarse pulverization. After the sintering process, dysprosium in the sintered body is enriched in each grain region near the grain boundary. The two- alloy method minimizes the liquid phase necessary to keep the coercive force at a useful level, and thus results in compositions closer to stoichiometry. The energy product of magnets having an inhomogeneous dysprosium distribution is typically 360 kj - m ^{- 3} (45 MG.Oe) at production level. The corrosion characteristics of cobalt- substituted NdFeB magnets also were investigated. These magnets are now used in voice coil motors for hard disk drives and contribute to shortening access time and hard- drive downsizing.
