Interfacial Oxides Evolution of High-Speed Steel Joints by Hot-Compression Bonding

The interfacial oxidation behavior of Cr4Mo4V high-speed steel (HSS) joints undergoing hot-compression bonding was investigated by using optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In the heating and holding processes, dispersed rod-like and granular $\delta - {\text{Al}}_{{2}} {\text{O}}_{{3}}$ oxides were formed at the interface and in the matrix near the interface due to the selective oxidation and internal oxidation of Al, while irregular Si–Al–O compounds and spheroidal SiO₂ particles were formed at the interface. After the post-holding treatment, SiO₂ oxides and Si–Al–O compounds were dissolved into the matrix, and $\delta - {\text{Al}}_{{2}} {\text{O}}_{{3}}$ oxides were transformed into nanoscale $\alpha - {\text{Al}}_{{2}} {\text{O}}_{{3}}$ particles, which did not deteriorate the mechanical properties of the joints. The formation and migration of newly-formed grain boundaries by plastic deformation and post-holding treatment were the main mechanism for interface healing. The tensile test results showed that the strength of the healed joints was comparable to that of the base material, and the in-situ tensile observations proved that the fracture was initiated at the grain boundary of the matrix rather than at the interface. The clarification of interfacial oxides and microstructure is essential for the application of hot-compression bonding of HSSs.     

Laboratory evaluation of interfacial mechanical properties in geogrid-reinforced bituminous layers

In this study, the mechanical properties of composite bituminous structures with geogrid products, used as an interlayer between different types of bituminous mixtures, at a constant temperature, were examined. A twofold experimental program based on new approaches was selected. A new configuration of the 3-Point Bending Test (3-PBT) was adopted to capture the J-integral and crack resistance property defined by crack resistance index (CRI) at the interface against bottom-up crack propagation. The bonding quality at the interface was also defined through a new index named coefficient of interface bonding (CIB), which was measured via a modified version of the slant shear device. The results derived from this research revealed that reinforcement of the interface, with varying degree of surface texture, by geogrid products significantly enhances the fracture toughness of the whole system in terms of the J-integral, which could be properly connected to the combined functions of bonding quality and crack resistance indices defined at the interface.

Effect of Ni-coated MoS2 on microstructure and tribological properties of (Cu−10Sn)-based composites

The (Cu−10Sn)−Ni−MoS₂ composites, prepared by powder metallurgy, were studied for the effects of Ni-coated MoS₂ on the microstructure, mechanical properties and lubricating properties. The mechanism of effects of Ni and MoS₂ on the properties of composites was analyzed through a comparative experiment by adding Ni and MoS₂ separately. The results show that the nickel wrapping around the MoS₂ particles decreases the reaction rate of MoS₂ with the copper matrix, and greatly improves the bonding of the matrix. The composites with 12 wt.% Ni-coated MoS₂ (C12) show the optimum performance including the mechanical properties and tribological behaviors. Under oil lubrication conditions, the friction coefficient is 0.0075 with a pressure of 8 MPa and a linear velocity of 0.25 m/s. The average dry friction coefficient, sliding against 40Cr steel disc, is measured to be 0.1769 when the linear velocity and pressure are 0.25 m/s and 4 MPa, respectively.     

Bonding strength and thermal shock resistance of a novel bilayer (c-AlPO4-SiCw-mullite)/SiC coated carbon fiber reinforced CMCs

Mullite coating, SiC whiskers toughened mullite coating (SiC_w-mullite), and cristobalite aluminum phosphate (c-AlPO₄) particle modified SiC_w-mullite coating (c-AlPO₄-SiC_w-mullite) were prepared on SiC coated C/SiC composites using a novel sol-gel method combined with air spraying. Results show that molten SiO₂ formed by the oxidation of SiC whiskers and molten c-AlPO₄ improved the bonding strength between mullite outer coating and SiC–C/SiC composites due to their high-temperature bonding properties. The bonding strength between mullite, SiC_w-mullite, c-AlPO₄-SiC_w-mullite outer coatings and SiC–C/SiC composites were 2.41, 4.31, and 7.38 MPa, respectively. After 48 thermal cycles between 1773 K and room temperature, the weight loss of mullite/SiC coating coated C/SiC composites was up to 11.61%, while the weight losses of SiC_w-mullite/SiC and c-AlPO₄-SiC_w-mullite/SiC coatings coated C/SiC composites were reduced to 7.40% and 5.12%, respectively. The addition of appropriate SiC whiskers can considerably improve the thermal shock resistance of mullite coating owing to their excellent mechanical properties at high temperature. In addition, c-AlPO₄ particles can further improve the thermal shock resistance of SiC_w-mullite coating due to their high-temperature bonding and sealing properties. No obvious micro-pores and cracks were observed on the surface of c-AlPO₄-SiC_w-mullite coating after 48 thermal cycles due to timely healing effect by formation of secondary mullite.

Comparison of Canola and Soy Flour with Added Isocyanate as Wood Adhesives

Canola is widely grown in the northern latitudes for its vegetable oil, generating large quantities of residual, low value canola flour used as animal feed. The common wood adhesive poly(diphenylmethylene diisocyanate) (pMDI) should react with the wide variety of functional groups in proteins. Therefore, it would seem that canola flour with added pMDI could be an effective adhesive. Two main questions are addressed in this study: How do the wood adhesive properties of canola flour compare to the better-studied soy flour? How well do proteins, which contain an abundance of functional groups, cure with the very reactive pMDI? These questions were addressed using the small-scale adhesive strength test ASTM D-7998, with various adhesive formulations and bonding conditions for canola flour plus pMDI compared to soy adhesives. The more challenging wet cohesive bond strength was emphasized because the dry strengths were usually very good. Generally, soy adhesives were better than canola ones, as was the polyamidoamine-epichlorohydrin cross-linker compared to pMDI, but these generalizations can be altered by the conditions selected. Three-ply plywood tests supported the small-scale test results.     

Immunolocalization of corneous proteins including a serine‐tyrosine‐rich beta‐protein in the adhesive pads in the tokay gecko

Adhesive pads of geckos contain many thousands of nanoscale spatulae for the adhesion and movement along vertical or inverted surfaces. Setae are composed of interlaced corneous bundles made of small cysteine‐glycine‐rich corneous beta proteins (CBPs, formerly indicated as beta‐keratins), embedded in a matrix material composed of cytoskeletal proteins and lipids. Negatively charged intermediate filament keratins (IFKs) and positively charged CBPs likely interact within setae, aside disulphide bonds, giving rise to a flexible and resistant corneous material. Using differernt antibodies against CBPs and IFKs an updated model of the composition of setae and spatulae is presented. Immunofluorescence and ultrastructural immunogold labeling reveal that one type of neutral serine‐tyrosine‐rich CBP is weakly localized in the setae while it is absent from the spatula. This uncharged protein is mainly present in the thin Oberhautchen layer sustaining the setae, although with a much lower intensity with respect to the cysteine‐rich CBPs. These proteins in the spatula likely originate a positively charged or neutral contact surface with the substrate but the influence of lipids and cytoskeletal proteins present in setae on the mechanism of adhesion is not known. In the spatula, protein‐lipid complexes may impart the pliability for the attachment and adapt to irregular surfaces. The presence of cysteine‐glycine medium rich CBPs and softer IFKs in alpha‐layers sustaining the setae forms a flexible base for compliance of the setae to substrate and improved adhesion.     

In situ emulsion polymerization and characterization of PVAc nanocomposites including colloidal silica nanoparticles for wood specimens bonding

Polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) nanocomposites for wood adhesives containing different amounts of colloidal silica nanoparticles (CSNs) were synthesized via in situ one-step emulsion polymerization. The adhesion strength of wood specimens bonded by PVAc nanocomposites was investigated by the tensile test. Thermal properties of PVAc nanocomposites were also characterized by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. Rheological and morphological properties of the PVAc nanocomposites were investigated using rheometric mechanical spectrometry and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), respectively. The obtaining results showed that the shear strength of PVAc nanocomposite including 1 wt. % CSNs has the highest shear and tensile strength about 4.7 and 3.2 MPa, respectively. A small increment of T_g (~3 °C) and considerable increment of the ash content proved the enhancement of PVAc thermal characterization in the presence of CSNs. FESEM results showed uniform dispersion of nanoparticles throughout the PVAc matrix due to using the in situ emulsion polymerization process. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

铍铜合金断续切削后刀面磨损机理研究

目的研究断续切削过程温度变化对刀具粘结现象、涂层剥落和刀具磨损的影响。方法搭建了仿铣削加工的断续车削实验平台,采用热电偶法测量了断续切削过程中刀具后刀面在不同速度下的切削温度,利用带有能谱仪(EDS)的扫描电镜(SEM)观察后刀面随速度变化的磨损形貌并分析后刀面磨损区域的元素组成,阐述了后刀面温度和刀具磨损之间的联系,研究了Ti AlN涂层硬质合金刀具断续切削铍铜合金C17200时的后刀面磨损机理。结果随着切削速度的增加,刀具温度在v=500 m/min出现峰值,温度越高,后刀面的涂层剥落和粘结磨损现象越严重,涂层剥落和粘结磨损现象在切削速度为500 m/min时最严重,而后随着刀具温度的降低而减缓,切削速度600 m/min时的涂层剥落和粘结磨损现象相比500 m/min时有所减轻。结论断续切削过程中,刀具持续性地经受"负载-卸载"、"升温-降温"产生的高温、冲击和加工环境的不稳定性,是引起粘结现象、涂层剥落和刀具磨损的主要原因。涂层剥落和粘结磨损是导致铍铜合金断续切削刀具失效的主要磨损形式。
