AZ91D镁合金等离子喷涂Ni-Al/陶瓷涂层的组织和性能

以Ni-Al为粘结层,在AZ91D镁合金基体上等离子喷涂Ni-Al/Al2O3、Ni-Al/Al2O3-13%TiO2(Ni-Al/AT13)、Ni-Al/Al2O3-20%TiO2(Ni-Al/AT20)复合涂层及Ni-Al/Al2O3/Al2O3-13%TiO2/Al2O3-20%TiO2(Ni-Al/Al2O3/AT13/AT20)梯度涂层,利用SEM、EDS和XRD分析涂层的微观组织特征,通过硬度、拉伸和热震实验研究涂层硬度、结合强度和抗热震性能,并与直接喷涂Al2O3、AT20的涂层进行比较。结果表明:Ni-Al粘结层因"自粘结"效应与基体形成较为致密并具有冶金结合的界面,且与Al2O3、AT13和AT20陶瓷层互有渗透、交叉和啮合,涂层致密性及结合力大为提高,表现出优良的抗热震性能。Al2O3涂层主要由亚稳态γ-Al2O3组成,AT20涂层以Al2O3和Al2TiO5为主。镁合金表面喷涂Al2O3陶瓷层后硬度大幅提高,由于加入TiO2,AT13和AT20涂层的硬度略低于Al2O3涂层的。Ni-Al/Al2O3-TiO2复合陶瓷的涂层结合强度高于Ni-Al/Al2O3单一陶瓷涂层的,而Ni-Al/Al2O3/AT13/AT20梯度涂层的结合强度比Ni-Al/AT20涂层的更高。     

Modified ball bond shear test for determination of adhesion strength of cold spray splats

A modified ball bond shear test was developed to measure the adhesion of cold sprayed splats to both bulk substrates and cold sprayed coatings. The technique was applied to the deposition of Ti feedstock powder (spherical morphology, 29 μm average dia.) onto a commercially pure bulk Ti plate and onto Ti coatings prepared with the same feedstock powder. Both an adhesion strength and adhesion energy were measured, with trends in adhesion examined as a function of in-air particle velocities between 580 and 825 m/s. Comparisons between cold spray splat on bulk materials versus coatings were conducted for two deposition conditions (694 and 825 m/s). Generally, the adhesion for splats deposited at the higher deposition condition were insensitive to the substrate material, while splats deposited at the lower deposition condition adhered better to the bulk material than to the coatings.     

Salt spray corrosion test of micro-plasma oxidation ceramic coatings on Ti alloy

Ceramic coatings were prepared on Ti-6Al-4V alloy in NaAlO2 solution by micro-plasma oxidation (MPO). The salt spray teste of tne coated samples and the substrates were carried out in a salt spray test machine. The phase composition and surface morphology of the coatings were investigated by XRD and SEM. Severe corrosion occurred on the substrate surface, while there were no obvious corrosion phenomena on the coated samples. The coatings were composed of Al2TiO5 and a little α-Al2O3 and rutile TiO2, and the salt spray test did not change the composition of the coatings. The weight loss rate of the coatings decreased with increasing MPO time because of the increase in density and thickness of the coatings. The surface morphology of the coatings was influenced by salt spray corrosion test Among the coated samples, the coating prepared for 2 h has the best corrosion resistance under salt spray test.     

Fabrication of calcium phosphate/chitosan coatings on AZ91D magnesium alloy with a novel method

Four calcium phosphate/chitosan composite films were fabricated on the surface of micro-arc oxidized (MAO)-AZ91D alloy through electrophoretic deposition (EDP) followed by a conversion process of the coatings in a phosphate buffer solution (PBS). In the EPD process, nano hydroxyapatite (n-HA, Ca₁₀(PO₄) ₆(OH)₂) and Ca(OH)₂ in the layers were obtained from a n-HA/ethanol suspension and a n-HA/chitosan-acetic acid aqueous solution, respectively. After immersion into PBS, brushite (DCPD, CaHPO₄·2H₂O) and new HA were introduced into the deposited layers. The percentage of Ca(OH)₂ in the deposited layers played an important role in developing the new phase in the conversion layers. When the percentages of Ca(OH)₂ in the deposited layers were 32 wt. % and 54 wt. %, the main phase of the conversion layers was DCPD with a little HA. However, when the percentages of Ca(OH)₂ were 64 wt. % and 100 wt. %, the main phase of the conversion layers became HA with a little DCPD. The calcium phosphate/chitosan coatings with more homogeneous bioactive layers and better adhesion strength on MAO-AZ91D alloy substrate were obtained from the electrolyte whose volume percentages of the n-HA/chitosan-acetic acid aqueous solution being 60% and 80%.So, EPD combined with a conversion process into PBS could be a promising method for the preparation of new calcium phosphate/chitosan coatings.     

Electroless Ni-Sn-P coating on AZ91D magnesium alloy and its corrosion resistance

An electroless Ni-Sn-P coating was deposited on AZ91D magnesium alloy in an alkaline-citrate-based bath where nickel sulphate and sodium stannate were used as metal ion sources and sodium hypophosphite was used as a reducing agent. The phase structure of the coating was amorphous. SEM and attached EDS observation revealed the presence of dense and uniform nodules in the ternary coating and the content of tin was 2.48wt.%. Both the electrochemical analysis and the immersion test in 10% HCl solution proved that the ternary Ni-Sn-P coating exhibited better corrosion resistance than the Ni-P coating in protecting the magnesium alloy substrate.     

Preparation of metallic coatings on polymer matrix composites by cold spray

In the present work, an Al metallic coating and an Al/Cu bimetallic coating were prepared on the surface of a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composite (PMC) using a cold spray system with nitrogen as process and powder carrier gas. The microstructure, microhardness, and bond strength of the resultant coatings are analyzed. The bonding mechanism of the coatings, especially the deposition behavior of the Al particles on the PMC surface is discussed. Results had shown that cold spraying enables the deposition of the metallic and bimetallic coatings directly onto the PMC surface with precise process control and reasonable bonding of feedstock and substrate material. The surface metallization of PMC via cold spraying process presents promising application prospects.     

The influence of Al2O3 reinforcement on the properties of stainless steel cold spray coatings

The effect of Al₂O₃ additions to type 316 austenitic stainless steel cold spray coatings was studied. Adding Al₂O₃ to the feedstock powder increased the overall deposition efficiency, though the Al₂O₃ itself deposited less efficiently than the stainless steel. Shear testing of the coatings using a shear lug test revealed a change in fracture from cohesive to adhesive with increasing alumina addition. The corrosion behaviour, assessed using anodic polarisation tests of the coatings, showed a shift towards the polarisation behaviour of bulk stainless steel with Al₂O₃ additions. All of these changes in coating behaviour with Al₂O₃ additions suggest an improved degree of metallurgical bonding, likely due to increased plasticity in the stainless steel particles.     

Nanomechanics of Mg-Al intermetallic compounds

Cold spraying of pure Al powder on a pure Mg substrate together with subsequent post-spray annealing treatment produced Mg₁₇Al₁₂ (β-phase) and Mg₂Al₃ (γ-phase) intermetallic layers on the surface of the substrate. These layers showed significantly better nanomechanical properties, including the reduced elastic modulus and nanohardness, which were determined using nanoindentation, than commercial purity Mg and AZ91 alloys. Combined with their improved corrosion resistance, it is believed that both the γ-phase and the β-phase layers can provide effective protection of Mg alloys from wear and corrosion. The effect of post-spray annealing process on the formation of thick, uniform and dense intermetallic layers on pure Mg substrate was also investigated.     

The influence of pulse parameters on Zn-Ni alloy coatings plated on AZ91 magnesium alloy

The influence of pulse parameters on zinc-nickel coatings plated on AZ91 magnesium alloy is investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The particles of zinc-nickel alloy plated on AZ91 magnesium alloy become smaller and the surface roughness decreases with the increase of current density and frequency. However, long plating times and a high ratio of t_on/t_off have decremental effects on the particles and surface roughness. The contents of crystal phases of zinc-nickel alloy coatings are higher under pulse current deposition than under direct current. The frequency, current density, plating time and ratio of t_on/t_off have different impacts on the thickness and Ni content of zinc-nickel coatings.     

Wear resistance of ceramic coating on AZ91 magnesium alloy by micro-arc oxidation

The ceramic coating formed on AZ91 magnesium alloy by micro-arc oxidation （MAO） was characterized. The results show that the ceramic coating （3.4-23 μm in thickness）on the surface ofAZ91 alloy was attained under different micro-arc oxidation treatment conditions, which consist mainly of MgO, Mg2SiO4 and MgSiO3 phases. Nano-hardness in a cross-sectional specimen was determined by nano-indentation experiment. The MAO coatings exhibit higher hardness than the substrate. Dry sliding wear tests for the MAO coatings and AZ91 alloy were also carded out using an oscillating friction and wear tester in a ball-on-disc contact configuration. The wear resistance of the MAO coatings is improved respectively under different treatment time as a result of different structures of ceramic coatings formed on AZ91 alloy.     

Development of multimaterial coatings by cold spray and gas detonation spraying

The basic objective is the development of multifunctional multimaterial protective coatings using cold spraying (CS) and computer controlled detonation spraying (CCDS).As far as CS is concerned, the separate injection of each powder into different zones of the carrier gas stream is applied. Cu-Al, Cu-SiC, Al-Al₂O₃, Cu-Al₂O₃, Al-SiC, Al-Ti and Ti-SiC coatings are successfully sprayed. As to CCDS, powders are sprayed with a recently developed apparatus that is characterized by a high-precision gas supply system and a fine-dosed twin powder feeding system. Computer control provides a flexible programmed readjustment of the detonation gases energy impact on powder thus allowing selecting the optimal for each component spraying parameters to form composite and multilayered coatings. Several powders are sprayed to obtain composite coatings, specifically, among others, WC-Co-Cr + Al₂O₃, Cu + Al₂O₃, and Al₂O₃ + ZrO₂.

Influences of laser powers on microstructure and properties of the coatings on the AZ91HP magnesium alloy

Al-Si alloy coatings were prepared on AZ91HP magnesium alloy by broad-beam laser cladding; the influences of the powers on the microstructure and properties of the coatings were discussed. It was found that the microstructure of the coatings at the powers of 3 and 3.5kW was characterized by Mg₂Si dendrites, and needle-like Mg₂Al₃(hcp) dispersing in the Mg₁₇Al₁₂ matrix, whereas the coating at the power of 2.5 kW was composed of the petal-like Mg₂Al₃ (fcc) as well as the needle-like Mg₂Al₃(hcp). The coating at the power of 4 kW appeared as α-Mg solid solution and Mg₂Si, Mg₁₇Al₁₂, as well as Mg₂Al₃ (hcp). The coatings with the powers of 3 and 3.5　kW exhibited higher microhardness and better wear resistance because of more Mg₂Si and Mg₁₇Al₁₂. However, the coating at the power of 2.5 kW displayed better corrosion resistance.

Characterizations of cold sprayed TiN particle reinforced Al2319 composite coating

In this study, a dense Al2319/TiN composite coating was successfully prepared using cold spraying with mechanically blended powders. TiN particles were uniformly dispersed in the coating matrix with a volume fraction of 38.7 vol.%, which is higher than that of 32.7 vol.% in the powder blend. Compared with the pure Al2319 coating, the Al2319/TiN composite coating exhibits a significantly increased adhesive strength. The incorporation of the TiN particles increases the coating hardness from 106 ± 7.8 to 154.5 ± 18.9 Hv_0.2. In addition, compared with the pure Al2319 coating, the composite coating exhibits a significantly improved tribological performance. The results obtained in this work indicated that cold spraying is a promising process to fabricate Al alloy-based composite coatings.     

Broad-beam laser cladding of Al-Si alloy coating on AZ91HP magnesium alloy

In the present study, an attempt was made to improve the wear resistance and the corrosion resistance of AZ91HP magnesium alloy by laser cladding Al-Si eutectic alloy. The results showed that the clad layer mainly consisted of Mg₂Si, Mg₁₇Al₁₂ and Mg₂Al₃ phases. The microstructure of the bonding zone changed from columnar grains to equiaxial grains along the direction of heat-flow. The heat-affected zone consisted of α-Mg and α-Mg + β-Mg₁₇Al₁₂ eutectic. The formation of multiple Mg intermetallic compounds allowed the clad layer to exhibit higher hardness, better wear resistance and corrosion resistance.     

Study of oxidation behavior of nanostructured NiCrAlY bond coatings deposited by cold spraying

Nanostructured NiCrAlY bond coating was deposited using a milled powder by cold spraying. A shot-peening treatment was then applied to the as-sprayed coating to modify the coating surface morphology. The oxidation behavior of the coating with the as-sprayed surface and shot-peened surface was investigated under isothermal oxidation at 900 °C and 1000 °C for different times. The oxidation behavior of the coating was characterized through surface morphology and cross-sectional microstructure by scanning electron microscopy. It was found that a uniform oxide layer was formed on the surface of the shot-peened nanostructured NiCrAlY coating during oxidation at temperatures of 900 °C and 1000 °C. The surface morphology of the coating has significant effect on the morphology of the oxide. The surface geometry of the cold-sprayed MCrAlY coating must be modified to promote formation of a protective oxide film during oxidation, through application of a post-treatment process such as shot-peening.     

Preparation and property evaluation of electroless Ni-P coatings on AZ91D magnesium alloy

Taking a bath with basic nickel carbonate as the source of nickel, sodium hypophosphite as the reducing agent and citric acid as the complexing agent, the N i-P coatings on AZ91D magnesium alloy were prepared. The influence of pH value of the bath on the content of phosphorus, microhardness and corrosion resistance of the deposits was examined. The XRD analysis results show that the Ni-P coatings plated under all conditions have a mixed microstructure of amorphous and nanocrystalline and undergo a phase transformation to crystalline nickel and nickel phosphide upon heat-treatment. The microhardness of the Ni-P coatings increases with the increase ofpH value of the bath and has a maximum at pH=6. The potentiodynamic polarization test in 3.5%（mass fraction） NaCl solution reveals that the Ni-P coatings exhibit a very good corrosion resistance to protecting AZ91D magnesium alloy.
