目的通过电弧离子镀技术,获得抗氧化性能优良的NiAl涂层。方法采用电弧离子镀技术,在弧流为110 A,偏压为-50 V的参数下沉积NiAlHf涂层。通过X射线衍射仪(XRD)和扫描电子显微镜(SEM)对涂层的物相结构和形貌进行分析,通过能谱仪(EDS)分析涂层的成分。采用恒温氧化增重实验对涂层的氧化动力学进行分析。结果由电弧离子镀技术制备的NiAl涂层致密均匀,无大颗粒、孔洞等缺陷。涂层主要由β-NiAl相组成,活性元素Hf固溶在主相中。NiAlHf涂层表现出良好的抗高温氧化性能,动力学曲线符合抛物线规律,在1150℃下恒温氧化200h的平均氧化速率为0.0841g/(m^2×h),远优于传统MCrAlY涂层体系。NiAlHf涂层在氧化初期形成保护性的α-Al2O3氧化皮以及少量亚稳态的θ-Al2O3,随后θ-Al2O3逐渐转变为稳态的α-Al2O3。Hf在涂层表面富集从而形成HfO2,对氧化皮形成了钉扎作用,增强了氧化皮的粘附性,提高了涂层的抗氧化性能。随着氧化的进行,涂层中的β-NiAl相逐渐转变为γ'-Ni3Al相。结论 NiAlHf涂层在1150℃下仍具备优良的抗高温氧化性能,对下一代耐更高温度涂层开发,电弧离子镀NiAl涂层的技术推广及工业化应用有一定的指导作用。

Separation and recovery of Ni from copper electrolyte by crystallization of nickel ammonium sulfate double salt

The separation and recovery of Ni from the copper electrolyte by crystallization of nickel ammonium sulfate double salt were studied. It is found that the solubility of copper sulfate at the same temperature is less than that of nickel sulfate, while the solubility of copper ammonium sulfate is greater than that of nickel ammonium sulfate. So, by adding (NH₄)₂SO₄, the Ni can be selectively crystallized from the copper electrolyte. By adding (NH₄)₂SO₄ at the molar ratio of (NH₄)₂SO₄/NiSO₄ ≤0.8, and crystallizing at —15 °C for 10 h, the Ni in the copper electrolyte can be crystallized in the form of Ni(NH₄)₂(SO₄)₂·6H₂O. The qualified product of NiSO₄·6H₂O can be obtained by pyrolyzing the crystals, dissolving the pyrolysis product in water, and then concentrating the dissolved solution for crystallization. The method of double salt crystallization is a clean, environmentally-friendly, cost-effective and efficient method for separating and recovering nickel from copper electrolyte.     

The Bulk Osteosarcoma and Osteosarcoma Stem Cell Activity of a Necroptosis-Inducing Nickel(II)–Phenanthroline Complex

We report the anti-osteosarcoma and anti-osteosarcoma stem cell (OSC) properties of a nickel(II) complex, 1 . Complex 1 displays similar potency towards bulk osteosarcoma cells and OSCs, in the micromolar range. Notably, 1 displays similar or better OSC potency than the clinically approved platinum(II) anticancer drugs cisplatin and carboplatin in two- and three-dimensional osteosarcoma cell cultures. Mechanistic studies revealed that 1 induces osteosarcoma cell death by necroptosis, an ordered form of necrosis. The nickel(II) complex, 1 triggers necrosome-dependent mitrochondrial membrane depolarisation and propidium iodide uptake. Interestingly, 1 does not evoke necroptosis by elevating intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) or hyperactivation of poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP-1). ROS elevation and PARP-1 activity are traits that have been observed for established necroptosis inducers such as shikonin, TRAIL and glutamate. Thus the necroptosis pathway evoked by 1 is distinct. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report into the anti-osteosarcoma and anti-OSC properties of a nickel complex.     

基底表面质量对ZK60镁合金镀镍层性能的影响

镁合金表面镀镍被广泛运用于镁合金工件防腐,而镀层的起泡和脱落严重影响工件的使用寿命。本实验以ZK60镁合金为研究对象,分析了不同工件基底表面质量对镀镍层性能的影响机制。研究表明:基底表面存在的划痕和点蚀坑会显著降低镀镍层质量,引起镀层的起泡和脱落。基底表面的划痕会被保留到镀镍层中,引发镀层变薄,应力集中等问题,增加镀层开裂的几率。点蚀坑中的杂质与镁基底有不同的电化学特性,会导致镀层减薄和结合不牢。因此,提高镁合金工件基底表面光洁度、清除基底表面点蚀坑是提高镁合金镀镍层性能的必要措施。     

Effects of heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of Inconel 625 alloy fabricated by wire arc additive manufacturing process

The microstructure and mechanical properties of Inconel 625 alloy fabricated by wire arc additive manufacturing process were evaluated under as-prepared and heat-treated conditions. A dendritic Ni-based solid solution phase along with (Nb, Ti)C carbide, Laves, and δ-Ni₃Nb secondary phases were developed in the microstructure of the as-prepared alloy. Solution heat treatment led to the dissolution of Laves and Ni₃Nb phases. In addition, dendrites were replaced with large columnar grains. Aging heat treatment resulted in the formation of grain boundary M₂₃C₆ carbide and nanometric γ″ precipitates. Hardness, yield and tensile strengths, as well as elongation of the as-prepared part, were close to those of the cast alloy and its fracture occurred in a transgranular ductile mode. Solution heat treatment improved hardness and yield strength and declined the elongation, but it did not have a considerable impact on the tensile strength. Furthermore, aging heat treatment caused the tensile properties to deteriorate and changed the fracture to a mixture of transgranular ductile and intergranular brittle mode.     

Purified high‐sulfur coal as a fuel for direct carbon solid oxide fuel cells

The use of low‐rank coal in a clean and efficient manner is a major challenge facing the current coal technology. A high‐sulfur coal with 4.5 wt% sulfur is chosen to examine the compatibility of the pristine coal and the purified contrast with a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) with nickel cermet anodes. Desulfurization of the pristine coal is performed by molten caustic leaching method with a removal ratio of 80%. Analyses of the physicochemical properties of coal samples indicate that the purified coal has a more favorable structure and higher Boudouard reactivity, which is suitable as a fuel for fuel cells. The assessment of electrochemical performance reveals that the purification treatment not only makes the peak power density of SOFCs improve from 115 to 221 mW cm^?2 at 900°C but also extends their durability from 1.7 to 11.2 hours under a current density of 50 mA cm^?2 at 850°C with a fuel availability increasing from 6.25% to 40%. The postmortem analyses show that far less deposited carbon and nickel sulfide are observed on the anode surface. The fuel‐based investigation reveals that the purified coal is a promising fuel for direct carbon fuel cells.

Shear analysis of rice husk ash (RHA) reinforced tin-0.7-copper composite solders on electroless nickel/immersion silver (ENIAg) surfaces

In this study, the mechanical performance of the rice husk ash-reinforced tin-0.7 copper composite solder was investigated. 0.01 wt.%, 0.05 wt.% and 0.1 wt.% of rice husk ash (RHA) were added to the solder matrix to prepare the composite solders. In order, to replace the costly electroless nickel immersion gold surface finish on the copper substrate, the effect of electroless nickel immersion silver (ENIAg) as the surface finish was studied. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis showed that the composite solder exhibited lower melting temperature relative to the plain solder owing to the inclusion of rice husk ash. Shear strength analysis was carried out to investigate the influence of rice husk ash and electroless nickel immersion silver surface finish on the shear strength of the developed composite solders. The results proved that the rice husk ash failed to enhance the shear strength of tin-0.7 copper lead-free solder with the plain solder exhibiting the highest shear strength.     

Microstructural and Tribological Behavior of Pulse Electroplated Nickel Barrier on Copper Conductors

The microstructural, mechanical, and tribological behaviors of electroplated Ni on Cu conducting substrates have been investigated in this study. The microstructural studies were performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that initially (111) with (220), (200) Ni texture components were predominant in the coating, and increasing the current density from 0.1 to 0.5 A/cm² led to the development of a strong (111) texture. The presence of ultrafine grains coupled with a (111) Ni texture improved the coating microhardness and wear properties significantly. It was shown that with an increase in current density, wear resistance of the coatings improved significantly and the electrical resistivity increased due to the highly populated grain boundaries.
