Microstructure and some properties of powder-pack borided Ti–5Mo–5V–8Cr–3Al alloy with special attention to the microstructure at the interface TiB/substrate

The borided layer was prepared on the surface of the Ti–5Mo–5V–8Cr–3Al alloy by powder-pack boriding at 1000°C-10h. SEM, EPMA and TEM were used to investigate the effects of alloying elements (Al, V, Mo and Cr) on the growth of TiB whiskers in the borided Ti–5Mo–5V–8Cr–3Al alloy. Wear properties of borided Ti–5Mo–5V–8Cr–3Al alloy were investigated using dry reciprocating friction tests. SEM results show that the thickness of boride layer in Ti–5Mo–5V–8Cr–3Al alloy is thinner than that in the Cp-Ti. This is attributed to the enrichment of alloying elements especially V in TiB/substrate by TEM, which hinders the diffusion of B atoms, thus resulting in the short and thick TiB whiskers in Ti–5Mo–5V–8Cr–3Al alloy. Borided Ti–5Mo–5V–8Cr–3Al alloy has the better wear resistance than as-received alloy.

Effects of cross rolling on texture,mechanical properties and anisotropy of pure Mo plates

To clarify the influence of the deformation texture on the mechanical properties, pure Mo plates were processed by various cross rolling procedures, and the relation among texture, microstructure and mechanical properties was discussed. The results show that cross rolling of the Mo plates is beneficial for the formation of the rotated cube component, i.e., {001}〈110〉. The corresponding orientation density exhibits a positive correlation with the total rolling deformation and the current-pass deformation. When the total deformation is 96% or greater, the Mo plates form a texture orientation dominated by {001}〈110〉, whereas the γ-fibre texture becomes weaker and the cube texture {100}〈100〉 disappears completely. The presence of {001}〈110〉 has great effects on the properties of cross-rolled Mo plates, which is beneficial for strength enhancement and plasticity reduction in both the rolling direction (RD) and the transverse direction (TD).     

Preparation and mechanism of active Mo–Mn metallization on ZTA particles surface and interfacial bonding of reinforced iron matrix composite

ZrO₂ toughened Al₂O₃ particles (ZTAp) have poor wettability with iron, and therefore some defects are easily formed at the interface between ZTAp and iron matrix, which may lead to material failure. This paper illustrates that the ZTAp were modified on the surface by the active Mo–Mn metallization, and thus, they were used as the reinforcing phases to prepare the iron-matrix composite (ZTAp/Fe composite). It is concluded that the sponge-like skeleton structure was formed on the surface of ZTAp after the metallization. The interface of ZTAp/Fe composite, which has been proved to have bearing and transitional capacity by scratch test, was formed by chemical bonding with elemental diffusion, besides mechanical bonding. The metallization mechanism of elemental diffusion can be explained by the migration of glass phase, and the elements diffusion between the interface and iron matrix is to form solid solution.

Phase equilibria of Co−Mo−Zn ternary system

To experimentally determine the isothermal sections of Co−Mo−Zn ternary system at 600 and 450 °C, the equilibrated alloy and diffusion couple methods were adopted by using scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive spectrometry, X-ray diffractometry and electron probe microanalysis. Experimental results show that there are six three-phase regions on the Co−Mo−Zn isothermal section at 600 °C and nine three-phase regions on the Co−Mo−Zn isothermal section at 450 °C. No ternary compound is found in these two isothermal sections. Both the maximum solubilities of Mo in the Co−Zn compounds (γ-Co₅Zn₂₁, γ₁-CoZn₇, γ₂-CoZn₁₃ and β₁-CoZn) and that of Zn in ε-Co₃Mo are no more than 1.5 at.%. The maximum solubilities of Zn in μ-Co₇Mo₆ are determined to be 2.1 at.% and 2.7 at.% at 600 and 450 °C, respectively. In addition, the maximum solubilities of Co in MoZn₇ and MoZn₂₂ are 0.5 at.% and 4.7 at.% at 450 °C, respectively.     

Effect of α phase morphology on fatigue crack growth behavior of Ti−5Al−5Mo−5V−1Cr−1Fe alloy

Taking a Ti−5Al−5Mo−5V−1Cr−1Fe alloy as exemplary case, the fatigue crack growth sensitivity and fracture features with various tailored α phase morphologies were thoroughly investigated using fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) test, optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The tailored microstructures by heat treatments include the fine and coarse secondary α phase, as well as the widmanstatten and basket weave features. The sample with coarse secondary α phase exhibits better comprehensive properties of good crack propagation resistance (with long Paris regime ranging from 15 to 60 MPa·m^1/2), high yield strength (1113 MPa) and ultimate strength (1150 MPa), and good elongation (11.6%). The good crack propagation resistance can be attributed to crack deflection, long secondary crack, and tortuous crack path induced by coarse secondary α phase.     

Nonoxidative methane activation,coupling, and conversion to ethane,ethylene, and hydrogen over Fe/HZSM‐5, Mo/HZSM‐5, and Fe–Mo/HZSM‐5 catalysts in packed bed reactor

A high abundance of methane and its relatively low price make it an attractive raw feedstock for the production of ethylene, which is in the consumer demand in recent years. Direct catalytic nonoxidative conversion is interesting, because it could be utilized on natural gas well sites. Monometallic and bimetallic Fe and Mo catalysts were prepared for the purpose of the coupling to ethane and ethene. Three supported materials were synthesized with the following loading of metal: 2.5‐wt% Fe, 5.0‐wt% Fe, and 2.5‐wt% Mo on HZSM‐5. Process' chemical reactions were also catalyzed with a constant 2.5‐wt% Mo/HZSM‐5, which had different amounts of Fe, namely, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.5 wt%. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), N₂ adsorption/desorption, NH₃ temperature‐programmed desorption (TPD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) were applied for characterization. Coke, accumulated on spent solids, was determined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Activity was evaluated in quartz‐packed bed reactor. All surfaces suffered from deactivation due to carbon formation. The addition of Fe to Mo increased CH₄ reacted. The highest selectivity for alkenes was achieved over 1.0‐wt% Fe to 2.5‐wt% Mo/HZSM‐5. At the peak of performance, the C‐based reactivity was 52% for olefins and 2% for alkanes. Stability was accomplished over 2.5‐wt% Fe/HZSM‐5, where the rate of C₂ synthesis was comparatively stable for 20 hours of the time on stream. The selective C‐basis yield for C₂H₄ and C₂H₆ was 36% and 23%, respectively. The lowest measured quantity of (carbonaceous) by‐products was deposited on 2.5‐wt% Fe/HZSM‐5 after 26 hours. Propylene was detected very limitedly.     

Microstructure and electrical conductivity of Mo/TiN composite powder for alkali metal thermal to electric converter electrodes

A Mo/TiN composite powder has been synthesized by a sol–gel method to improve the electrical performance and microstructural stability of the alkali metal thermal to electric converter electrode. The core (TiN)–shell (Mo) structure of the composite powder is confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The composite powder is primarily composed of submicron (400–800 nm) particles that are coated on a core (>3–5 μm) particle. The Mo/TiN composite electrode exhibits high electrical conductivities of 1000 Scm⁻¹ at 300 °C and 260 Scm⁻¹ at 700  °C in an Ar atmosphere. The electrode exhibits excellent tolerance against grain growth during thermal cycling tests (R.T.↔800 °C), where the average growth rate of Mo grains in the Mo/TiN composite electrodes is controlled less than 0.5%/time (0.62→0.65 μm), while the growth rate in Mo electrodes is 306.7%/time (0.24→3.92 μm). It can be concluded that the Mo/TiN composite powder will suppress the degradation of the electrode and enhance the performance and durability of the unit cell at elevated temperatures.
