The properties of metallic alloys can be significantly improved by developing non‐equilibrium phases in the microstructures through rapid solidification techniques, thus the characterisation of these unusual structures is extremely important. In this research, the microstructures of three rapidly quenched alloys, namely Ni65.2Nb33.8Zr1.0, Ni54.8Nb31.1Zr14.1 and Ni54.8Nb21.6Zr23.6 (at. %) were investigated in greater detail in order to determine the structures and compositions of their crystalline phases. These crystalline phases were characterised using a combination of scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x‐ray spectroscopy, x‐ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy techniques. The phases were compared to the crystalline structures reported in the literature. Our results indicate some agreement with the Ni–Nb phase diagram and an isothermal section of the Ni–Nb–Zr phase diagram; however, it is detected zirconium solubility in the Ni3Nb phase, as well as, the absence of expected crystalline phases.  相似文献

The effects of Bi2O3 addition on the phase composition, microstructure and optical properties of ZnO–SnO2 ceramics were investigated. Starting powders of ZnO and SnO2 were mixed in the molar ratio 2:1. After adding Bi2O3 (1.0 mol.%) this mixture was mechanically activated for 10 min in a planetary ball mill, uniaxially pressed and sintered at 1300°C for 2 h. Far‐infrared reflection spectra were measured (100–1000 cm–1). To investigate the occurred differences in FTIR spectra, the Bi2O3‐doped sample was examined more carefully with a Perkin–Elmer FTIR spectrometer (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA, USA) connected with a Perkin–Elmer FTIR microscope and itemized points of interest were also studied with SEM‐EDS.  相似文献

A comparison is described of the structures of an M9R Cu–Zn–Al alloy as quenched directly into the martensitic state, and as stabilized, with the structure of the material after up-quenching into the β1 state after which treatment the martensitic memory transformation occurs thermoelastically. Preliminary results on the increased tendency for the stabilized alloy to form f.c.c. stacking sequence regions are given and discussed.  相似文献

The wear behavior of low-cost, lightweight 10 wt% titanium carbide (TiC)-particulate-reinforced Ti–6Al–4V matrix composite (TiC/Ti–6Al–4V) was examined under fretting at 296, 423, and 523 K in air. Bare 10 wt% TiC/Ti–6Al–4V hemispherical pins were used in contact with dispersed multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), magnetron-sputtered diamond-like carbon/chromium (DLC/Cr), magnetron-sputtered graphite-like carbon/chromium (GLC/Cr), and magnetron-sputtered molybdenum disulfide/titanium (MoS2/Ti) deposited on Ti–6Al–4V, Ti–48Al–2Cr–2Nb, and nickel-based superalloy 718. When TiC/Ti–6Al–4V was brought into contact with bare Ti–6Al–4V, bare Ti–48Al–2Cr–2Nb, and bare nickel-based superalloy 718, strong adhesion, severe galling, and severe wear occurred. However, when TiC/Ti–6Al–4V was brought into contact with MWNT, DLC/Cr, GLC/Cr, and MoS2/Ti coatings, no galling occurred in the contact, and relatively minor wear was observed regardless of the coating. All the MWNT, DLC/Cr, GLC/Cr, and MoS2/Ti coatings on Ti–6Al–4V were effective from 296 to 523 K, but the effectiveness of the MWNT, DLC/Cr, GLC/Cr, and MoS2/Ti coatings decreased as temperature increased.  相似文献

A systematic investigation has been carried out in the present work to study the electrochemical and corrosion–wear behaviours of Hastelloy C276 alloy sliding against Al2O3 pin in artificial seawater, using a pin‐on‐disc tribometer integrated with a potentiostat for electrochemical control. It can be observed that the cathodic shift of open circuit potential and three order of magnitude increase of current density formed due to sliding. The total corrosion–wear loss increases with increasing applied potential. Interestingly, the total material loss at the applied potential of 0.5 and 0.9 V is more than two times of that of pure mechanical wear, confirming the synergy between wear and corrosion. And, the contributions of wear‐induced corrosion (ΔKc) and corrosion‐induced wear (ΔKw) are dominant, especially at higher applied potentials. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

TiO2–SiO2 thin film was prepared by sol‐gel method and coated on the aramid fabric to prepare functional textiles. The aramid fabric was dipped and withdrawn in TiO2–SiO2 gel and hydrothermal crystallization at 80°C, then its UV protection functionality was evaluated. The crystalline phase and the surface morphology of TiO2–SiO2 thin film were characterized using SEM, XRD, and AFM respectively. SEM showed hydrothermal crystallization led to a homogeneous dispersion of anatase nonocrystal in TiO2–SiO2 film, and XRD suggested the mean particle size of the formed anatase TiO2 was less than 30 nm. AFM indicated that hydrothermal treatment enhanced the crystallization of TiO2. UV protection analysis suggested that the hydrothermally treated coated textile had a better screening property in comparison with TiO2–SiO2 gel and native aramid fabric. Microsc. Res.

The synthesis and characterization of porous nanostructured cobalt oxide (Co3O4) aerogels using epoxide addition method is described. Cobalt‐containing monoliths were obtained by sol–gel processing of an alcoholic cobalt chloride solution with propylene oxide as the gelation agent. The alcogels were dried by supercritical CO2 fluid extraction to obtain the highly porous amorphous cobalt (II) aerogels. To enhance and control the structural properties of the aerogels, single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) were incorporated into the cobalt (II) aerogel network to form a homogenous composite material. The resulting materials were characterized using powder X‐ray diffraction and nitrogen adsorption/desorption analysis. The detailed microstructure of aerogel networks was investigated using scanning and transmission electron microscopy, which showed significant structural changes induced by the incorporation of SWCNT to the cobalt aerogel. Annealing of the aerogel materials at 600°C yields a highly crystalline well‐faceted Co3O4 network SCANNING 31: 132–138, 2009. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.  相似文献

A total of nine tin‐contained ancient glass beads were characterized by a combination of scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectrometry and Raman spectroscopy. These glass beads dated from 1st century BC to 10th century AD were excavated from the Xinjiang and Guangxi provinces of China. Two kinds of tin‐based opacifiers/colorants included crystalline cassiterite (SnO2) and lead‐tin yellow types II were first found in these soda lime glass beads. The tentative chronology of the tin‐based opacifiers/colorants used in ancient glasses from China and the West was compared. In addition, several transition metal ions colorants were also found in these beads. The detailed study of the glassy matrices, crystalline inclusions, and the microstructural heterogeneities for these glass beads has revealed some valuable information to trace the possible making technology and provenances.

Multi‐phase identification and phase transformations in electropulsing treated Zn–Al based alloy wire specimens were studied using electron back‐scattered diffraction, back‐scattered scanning electron microscopy and X‐ray diffraction techniques. By using electron back‐scattered diffraction, two phases: η′S and η′T with a small difference of about 1% in lattice parameters (c0/a0) were identified, based on the determined lattice parameters of the phases, and the reverse eutectoid phase transformations: η′T+?′T+α′T→η′S and ?+α→T′+η were successfully detected. Electron back‐scattered diffraction appeared to be an effective technique for studying complex electropulsing induced phase transformations.  相似文献

Two grades of WC–10 wt.%Co cemented carbide with or without addition of Cr3C2/VC grain growth inhibitor during liquid phase sintering were produced with the goal to investigate their reciprocating sliding friction and wear behaviour against WC–6 wt.%Co cemented carbide under unlubricated conditions. The tribological characteristics were obtained on a Plint TE77 tribometer using distinctive normal contact loads. The generated wear tracks were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and quantified topographically using surface scanning equipment. The post-mortem obtained wear volumes were compared to the online assessed wear. Correlations between wear volume, wear rate and coefficient of friction on the one hand and sliding distance and microstructural properties on the other hand were determined, revealing a significant influence of Cr3C2/VC on the friction characteristics and wear performance.  相似文献

Precipitates (ppts) in new generation aluminum–lithium alloys (AA2099 and AA2199) were characterised using scanning and transmission electron microscopy and atom probe tomography. Results obtained on the following ppts are reported: Guinier–Preston zones, T1 (Al2CuLi), β’ (Al3Zr) and δ’ (Al3Li). The focus was placed on their composition and the presence of minor elements. X‐ray energy‐dispersive spectrometry in the electron microscopes and mass spectrometry in the atom probe microscope showed that T1 ppts were enriched in zinc (Zn) and magnesium up to about 1.9 and 3.5 at.%, respectively. A concentration of 2.5 at.% Zn in the δ’ ppts was also measured. Unlike Li and copper, Zn in the T1 ppts could not be detected using electron energy‐loss spectroscopy in the transmission electron microscope because of its too low concentration and the small sizes of these ppts. Indeed, Monte Carlo simulations of EEL spectra for the Zn L2,3 edge showed that the signal‐to‐noise ratio was not high enough and that the detection limit was at least 2.5 at.%, depending on the probe current. Also, the simulation of X‐ray spectra confirmed that the detection limit was exceeded for the Zn Kα X‐ray line because the signal‐to‐noise ratio was high enough in that case, which is in agreement with our observations.  相似文献

This work provides an electrodeposition‐based methodology for synthesizing multicomponent nanowires containing Ag, Co and Ni atoms. Nanowire morphology was obtained by using an anodic alumina membrane with cylindrical pores of ~200‐nm diameter. Structural, compositional and magnetic characterization revealed that the as‐synthesized nanowires adopted a core–shell microstructure. The core (axial region) contained pure Ag phase volumes with a plate‐like morphology oriented perpendicular to the nanowire axis. The shell (peripheral region) contained pure Ag nanoparticles along with superparamagnetic Co and Ni rich clusters.  相似文献

The influences of the nature and the extent of M(III) ion substitution on the structure, morphology and surface properties of layered double hydroxides, LDHs [Mg1?x M(III)x(OH)2](CO3)x/n·mH2O, M(III) being Al or/and Fe and x= M(III)/[(Mg+M(III)], and derived mixed oxides were investigated. Three series: Mg?Al, Mg?Al?Fe and Mg?Fe were synthesized using low supersaturation co‐precipitation method at constant pH, with different Mg : Al : Fe ratio and x in the wide range from 0.15 to 0.7 in order to obtain complex, multi‐phase systems with disordered structure, developed surface area, acid–base and redox properties favourable for catalytic application. The morphology of LDHs and their derived mixed oxides did not change considerably although pronounced changes in structural and surface properties occur by thermal decomposition. The increase in Al amount, as well as the deviation of M(III) content from the optimal range for the single LDH phase synthesis, causes the formation of smaller particles and decrease of mixed oxide crystallite size. The nature and amount of M(III) influence the development of surface area, after thermal treatment, depending mainly on the presence of smaller mesopores, not visible by scanning electron microscope. Although the particle size has no considerable influence on the value of the surface area, it was observed that the samples with smaller particles (Mg–Al and Mg–Al–Fe series) have also higher surface area compared with the samples with larger particles (Mg–Fe series).  相似文献

This report provides information about an electrodeposition‐based two‐step synthesis methodology for producing core–shell Ag–(Ni–O) nanowires and their detailed structural and compositional characterization using electron microscopy technique. Nanowires were produced by employing anodic alumina templates with a pore diameter of 200 nm. In the first step of the synthesis process, nanocrystalline Ni–O was electrodeposited in a controlled manner such that it heterogeneously nucleated and grew only on the template pore walls without filling the pores from bottom upwards. This alumina template with pore walls coated with Ni–O was then utilized as a template during the electrodeposition of Ag in the second step. Electrodeposited Ag filled the template pores to finally produce Ag–(Ni–O) core–shell nanowires with an overall diameter of 200 nm.  相似文献

Quantum yield ratio (QA/QD) and absorption ratio (KA/KD) in all excitation wavelengths used between acceptor and donor are indispensable to quantitative fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) measurement based on linearly unmixing excitation–emission spectra (ExEm‐spFRET). We here describe an approach to simultaneously measure QA/QD and KA/KD values by linearly unmixing the excitation–emission spectra of at least two different donor–acceptor tandem constructs with unknown FRET efficiency. To measure the QA/QD and KA/KD values of Venus (V) to Cerulean (C), we used a wide‐field fluorescence microscope to image living HepG2 cells separately expressing each of four different C–V tandem constructs at different emission wavelengths with 435 nm and 470 nm excitation respectively to obtain the corresponding excitation–emission spectrum (SDA). Every SDA was linearly unmixed into the contributions (weights) of three excitation–emission spectra of donor (WD) and acceptor (WA) as well as donor–acceptor sensitisation (WS). Plot of WS/WD versus WA/WD for the four C–V plasmids from at least 40 cells indicated a linear relationship with 1.865 of absolute intercept (QA/QD) and 0.273 of the reciprocal of slope (KA/KD), which was validated by quantitative FRET measurements adopting 1.865 of QA/QD and 0.273 of KA/KD for C32V, C5V, CVC and VCV constructs respectively in living HepG2 cells.  相似文献

The present study aims at characterizing the three‐dimensional (3‐D) morphology of a Co–Cr–Mo dental alloy surface as a result of three different procedures used for polishing it. The sample surface morphology of the sampled surface was examined employing atomic force microscopy (AFM), statistical surface roughness parameters, and fractal analysis. An extra‐hard dental alloy of cobalt–chromium–molybdenum (Co–Cr–Mo) (Wironit®, from BEGO, Bremen, Germany) was prepared and moulded. Different polishing treatments were carried out on three groups of six samples each—a total of 18 samples. The first group contained six electropolished (EP) samples. The second group containing six samples went through a mechanical polishing process employing green rubber discs and a high shine polishing paste applied by a rotating black brush (BB). The third group comprising six samples as well went through a mechanical polishing process by means of green rubber discs, high shine polishing paste, and a rotating deer leather brush (DL). Fractal analysis on the basis of a computational algorithm applied to the AFM data was employed for the 3‐D quantitative characterization of the morphology of the sampled surfaces. The fractal dimension D (average ± standard deviation) of 3‐D surfaces for BB samples (2.19 ± 0.07) is lower than that of the DL samples (2.24 ± 0.08), which is still lower than that of the EP samples (2.27 ± 0.09). The results indicated the BB samples as presenting the lowest values of statistical surface roughness parameters, thus the best surface finish, while the EP samples yielded the highest values.

This article presents a pixellated solid‐state photon detector designed specifically to improve certain aspects of the existing Everhart–Thornley detector. The photon detector was constructed and fabricated in an Austriamicrosystems 0.35 µm complementary metal‐oxide‐semiconductor process technology. This integrated circuit consists of an array of high‐responsivity photodiodes coupled to corresponding low‐noise transimpedance amplifiers, a selector‐combiner circuit and a variable‐gain postamplifier. Simulated and experimental results show that the photon detector can achieve a maximum transimpedance gain of 170 dBΩ and minimum bandwidth of 3.6 MHz. It is able to detect signals with optical power as low as 10 nW and produces a minimum signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) of 24 dB regardless of gain configuration. The detector has been proven to be able to effectively select and combine signals from different pixels. The key advantages of this detector are smaller dimensions, higher cost effectiveness, lower voltage and power requirements and better integration. The photon detector supports pixel‐selection configurability which may improve overall SNR and also potentially generate images for different analyses. This work has contributed to the future research of system‐level integration of a pixellated solid‐state detector for secondary electron detection in the scanning electron microscope. Microsc. Res.

An investigation was conducted to explore the nature of fretting fatigue damage in the stages prior to crack formation. In the unique experimental apparatus employed in this study, where total slip never occurs, several locations on each test specimen exist where cracks can develop due to local contact conditions. Under the test conditions used, not all of the sites had cracks upon test completion. This study evaluated the condition of non-cracked sites on several fretted specimens in an effort to identify differences between these and sites where small cracks were observed.A single test condition of 620 MPa average applied static clamping stress and 250 MPa applied axial fatigue stress for R=0.5 was selected, which corresponds to a fretting fatigue life of 107 cycles based on prior work. For specimens tested to 106 cycles, or 10% of life, several destructive and non-destructive characterization methods were chosen: scanning electron microscopy (SEM), residual stress measurement and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Each site at which crack nucleation could be expected was inspected in the SEM and was then characterized using surface X-ray diffraction to quantify the residual stresses field near that location. Then TEM foils were cut from one area on a specimen with tiny cracks and dislocation densities were observed. A novel technique was used which permitted TEM samples to be obtained from regions in close proximity on the original specimen.Comparisons were made between as-received (AR) and stress-relief annealed (SRA) specimens, on which the stress-relief was applied prior to fretting fatigue testing. SEM inspection was useful for qualitative analysis of wear debris and identification of cracks as small as 20 μm, but was unable to provide quantitative data on the level of fretting fatigue damage beyond crack size. Although differences were noted in the residual stresses for the SRA versus the AR specimens, no residual stress peaks were noted in the edge of contact regions where cracks would eventually develop. TEM observations in the vicinity of the crack nucleation region showed that the dislocation structure decayed rapidly into the specimen thickness. The cause of the dislocations was attributed to plastic deformation caused by the clamping stresses.  相似文献

A composite material containing silver and molybdenum metals was fabricated by powder metallurgy method with a Ag/Mo molar ratio of 2 : 1 and the sintering temperature is 700°C. Tribological properties, especially the solid lubrication behaviours during oxidation of the composite in air, were considered from room temperature to 600°C. Phase composition, microstructure and thermal behaviour of the composite were analysed before and after tests to investigate the lubrication mechanisms. The friction coefficients of the composite are ~0.7 below 400°C but decrease sharply to ~0.18 above 500°C. Characterisations of this composite indicate that several silver molybdates (Ag2MoO4, Ag2Mo2O7 and Ag2Mo4O13) formed from oxidation of Ag–Mo composite at high temperatures benefit lubrication effects and lead to the decrease of friction coefficients. Formation mechanism of these silver molybdates during oxidation and wear was therefore studied, and a model based on solid reaction processes in the Ag–Mo–O2 system was promoted.

ZrO2–Y2O3 ceramic coatings were deposited on AISI 304 stainless steel by both a low-pressure plasma spraying (LPPS) and a laser-assisted plasma hybrid spraying (LPHS). Microstructure and tribological characteristics of ZrO2–Y2O3 coatings were studied using an optical microscope, a scanning electron microscope, and an SRV high-temperature friction and wear tester. The LPHS coatings exhibit distinctly reduced porosity, uniform microstructure, high hardness and highly adhesive bonding, although more microcracks and even vertical macrocracks seem to be caused in the LPHS coatings. The ZrO2 lamellae in the LPHS coatings before and after 800°C wear test consist mainly of the metastable tetragonal (t′) phase of ZrO2 together with small amount of c phase. The t′ phase is very stable when it is exposed to the wear test at elevated temperatures up to 800°C for 1 h. The friction and wear of the LPHS coatings shows a strong dependence on temperature, changing from a low to a high wear regime with the increase of temperature. At low temperatures, friction and wear of the LPHS coatings is improved by laser irradiation because of the reduced connected pores and high hardness in contrary to the LPPS coating. However, at elevated temperatures, the friction and wear of the LPHS coatings is not reduced by laser irradiation. At room temperature, mild scratching and plastic deformation of the LPHS coatings are the main failure mechanism. However, surface fatigue, microcrack propagation, and localized spallation featured by intersplat fracture, crumbling and pulling-out of ZrO2 splats become more dominated at elevated temperatures.  相似文献
