Production methods and properties of engineering glassy alloys and composites

Since the first synthesis of glassy alloys in 1960, a great large number of studies have been carried out in basic science and technological aspects. At present, glassy alloys and composites have been used as functional and structural materials. The production method for their practical materials was limited to a quenching type technique for many years before around 1990, but the finding of bulk glassy alloys caused a drastic change in production method of glassy alloys to a copper mold casting type technique which has enabled the production of glassy alloys in a three dimensional bulk form. Furthermore, glass alloy composites produced by semi-solid progressive solidification have been successfully developed recently, even using impure charge materials. The drastic changes in the production method and material form have also resulted in significant extension of application fields of glassy alloys. This paper aims to review the production methods and properties of glassy alloys and composites with useful critical sizes above 100 μm or below 4 μm in thickness for glassy powder in conjunction with the present situation of applications for their glassy alloys and composites which do not belong to materials with an ordinary thickness size range of 10–50 μm.     

面向垃圾焚烧炉应用的抗高温氯腐蚀涂层技术

焚烧是市政垃圾最为有效的处置方式。然而,垃圾焚烧气氛产生的腐蚀及磨损对锅炉安全运行存在极大的风险。采用功能涂层技术隔绝锅炉管与腐蚀气氛,从而实现对管壁的保护,是可行方案。本文对比了熔覆、耐火材料及热喷涂等防护方案,最终采用电弧喷涂制备耐氯腐蚀涂层,通过分析涂层的基本性能、锅炉内现场施工及实际焚烧环境运行等多方面,验证了采用电弧喷涂对垃圾焚烧炉管防护的可行性。
