为改善玻璃涂层对钛合金的高温抗氧化保护效果,本文通过球磨法在纯玻璃涂层浆料中引入Ti₃AlC₂增强相粉末,将浆料刮涂在TC4合金表面并进行抗氧化测试。结果表明,当Ti₃AlC₂添加量为5 wt.%(TAC5涂层)时,TC4合金基底α污染层的厚度最薄,约为65.78 μm。在相同测试条件下,TAC5涂层的α污染层厚度相比于纯玻璃涂层减少约四分之一。Ti₃AlC₂增强相与渗入涂层中的氧气反应,从而减少基底与氧气的接触,提高涂层对TC4合金的高温抗氧化保护能力。

Ti2Ni/TiNi微叠层复合材料的制备及表征

将Ti箔和Ni箔交替排列,在900℃条件下,通过热压烧结法来制备Ti_2Ni/TiNi微叠层复合材料。研究了保温时间对复合材料的微观组织及相组成的影响。采用扫描电镜(SEM)、电子探针(EPMA)、X射线衍射(XRD)及差示扫描量热分析(DSC)对不同保温时间下制备的复合材料的微观组织、相组成、相结构及相变温度进行分析。结果表明:随着保温时间的增加,Ti和Ni逐渐消耗,在其界面上形成Ti_2Ni、TiNi、Ni_3Ti3种金属间化合物。当Ni消耗完毕,Ti原子向Ni_3Ti层扩散,使之完全转变成TiNi。当Ti完全消耗,仅有交替排列的Ti_2Ni和TiNi两相存在,且在TiNi层上分布着颗粒状和条状的Ti_2Ni相。保温8h后制备的Ti_2Ni/TiNi叠层复合材料的相变温度A_s、A_f、M_s、M_f及相变迟滞温度ΔT分别为75.9,99.2,63.6,45.7和32.5℃。     

保温时间对瞬时液相扩散连接的Ti3Al /Ti2AlNb接头微观结构及力学性能的影响

采用Ni-Ti复合箔片作为中间层,在990 ℃、低连接压力（0.1 MPa）下,通过瞬时液相（TLP）扩散连接制备了Ti₃Al/Ti₂AlNb异种合金接头。分析了保温时间（10~90 min）对Ti₃Al/Ti₂AlNb接头微观结构及力学性能的影响,并研究了TLP扩散连接接头的界面演变和形成机制。结果表明,Ti₃Al/Ti₂AlNb接头具有典型的“Ti₃Al | Al_0.5Nb_0.5Ti₃ | 残余 Ni | NiTi | NiTi₂ | 残余 Ti | Al_0.5Nb_0.5Ti₃ | Ti₂AlNb”多层梯度结构。随着保温时间的延长,接头的抗剪切强度先增大后减小,当保温时间达到60 min时,Ti₃Al/Ti₂AlNb接头的抗剪切强度最大,达到167±12 MPa。另外,接头的断裂主要发生在Ti₂AlNb/Ti附近的NiTi₂层,并向Ti层延伸,呈现出脆性断裂的特征。     

等离子喷涂La2Zr2O7热障涂层高温烧结的硬化行为

热障涂层在高温服役过程中发生烧结和硬化,是引发涂层开裂和剥离失效的主要因素,因此掌握涂层烧结规律是进行涂层设计制备、寿命预测和工艺优化的前提。 文中采用等离子喷涂技术制备 La₂ Zr₂ O₇热障涂层,在 1250 ℃ 条件下进行涂层高温热暴露试验,表征了涂层高温烧结过程中力学性能的变化规律,从孔隙结构的角度揭示了涂层高温烧结硬化机理。 研究结果表明,喷涂态 La₂ Zr₂ O₇ 涂层为典型的层状结构,硬度为(405±20) HV_0.3 ,高温热暴露后涂层呈现先快后慢的硬化趋势,热暴露 200 h 后涂层硬度提高了 80%。 涂层结构分析表明,涂层物相保持不变,但涂层孔隙率呈现出先快后慢的下降规律。 坐标轴变换处理后发现,硬度和孔隙率均呈现以 10 h 为临界的双阶段特性。 通过对涂层孔隙结构的高温准原位观察,发现涂层孔隙初期多点桥接超快愈合、后期以边界推进方式缓慢烧结的双阶段烧结现象, 从而揭示了 La₂ Zr₂ O₇ 热障涂层分阶段硬化的烧结机理,从而为发展抗烧结高性能热障涂层提供了新的理论依据。     

Al2O3/Ti2AlN复合材料在900℃,1000℃和1100℃空气中的氧化行为

利用综合热分析仪、背散射扫描电镜(BSE)和能谱分析(EDS)对Al₂O₃/Ti₂AlN复合材料在900 ℃,1 000 ℃和1 100 ℃/20 h空气中连续氧化20h后的氧化增重及氧化层截面进行了研究。结果表明：Al₂O₃/Ti₂AlN复合材料在空气中的氧化行为符合抛物线规律,在900 ℃,1 000 ℃和1 100 ℃/20 h氧化增重分别为2.78×10_-2 kg/m₂、10.4 ×10_-2 kg/m₂、21.9 ×10_-2 kg/m₂,抛物线速率常数相应为1.08×10_-8 kg₂/m₄s、1.44×10_-7 kg₂/m₄s、6.56×10_-7 kg₂/m₄s,氧化激活能为274 kJ/mol。氧化层主要由TiO₂和Al₂O₃组成的,连续的Al₂O₃次外层可以提高其抗氧化性能。氧化层结构的改变是由于氧化温度对Ti₄₊、Al₃₊由基体表面向外扩散和O_2-向内扩散的影响,以及TiO₂和Al₂O₃在不同温度下的形核生长速率导致的。对Al₂O₃/Ti₂AlN而言,控制材料与氧化气氛的界面是提高该材料抗氧化性能的关键。

Strengthening of Ti2AlC by substituting Ti with V

Ti₂AlC is strengthened by substituting Ti with V to form (Ti,V)₂AlC solid solutions. The Vickers hardness, flexural strength, shear strength and compressive strength are enhanced by 29%, 36% and 45% for (Ti_0.8,V_0.2)₂AlC solid solution, respectively. The strengthening mechanism is discussed.     

Corrosion behavior of select MAX phases in NaOH, HCl and H2SO4

In this paper we report on the electrochemical corrosion of select MAX phases, namely Ti₂AlC, (Ti,Nb)₂AlC, V₂AlC, V₂GeC, Cr₂AlC, Ti₂AlN, Ti₄AlN₃, Ti₃SiC₂ and Ti₃GeC₂ in 1 M NaOH, 1 M HCl and 1 M H₂SO₄ solutions. Polarization characteristics recorded in 1 M NaOH show that V₂AlC, V₂GeC and Cr₂AlC undergo active dissolution at potentials more positive than the corrosion potential, while Ti₂AlC, (Ti,Nb)₂AlC, Ti₃SiC₂ and Ti₃GeC₂ passivate. In the 1 M HCl solutions, Ti₂AlC, V₂AlC and V₂GeC actively dissolve; Ti₃SiC₂ and Ti₃GeC₂ passivate. Depending on potential, (Ti,Nb)₂AlC and Cr₂AlC showed trans-passive behavior. In 1 M H₂SO₄ solutions, Ti₂AlC, (Ti,Nb)₂AlC, Ti₃SiC₂ and Ti₃GeC₂ passivate, V₂AlC and V₂GeC show active dissolution, while Cr₂AlC exhibits trans-passive behavior. Ti₂AlN and Ti₄AlN₃ were passive in all solutions except in 1 M HCl, where Ti₂AlN showed trans-passive behavior. Given that the corrosion behavior of (Ti,Nb)₂AlC is unlike either Ti or Nb, the behavior of the former cannot be predicted from that of the latter.     

Effects of TiC and Al4C3 addition on combustion synthesis of Ti2AlC

Preparation of the ternary carbide Ti₂AlC was conducted by combustion synthesis in the mode of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) from the elemental powder compacts of Ti:Al:C = 2:1:1, TiC-containing samples with TiC of 6.67–14.3 mol%, and Al₄C₃-containing samples with Al₄C₃ of 1.96–10 mol%. Effects of TiC and Al₄C₃ addition were studied on combustion characteristics and the degree of phase conversion. Due to the growth of laminated Ti₂AlC grains, the reactant compact was subjected to an axial elongation during the SHS process. Because the addition of TiC and Al₄C₃ led to a decrease in the reaction temperature, the flame-front propagation velocity was correspondingly reduced for the TiC- and Al₄C₃-containing samples when compared with the elemental reactants. Based upon the XRD analysis, formation of Ti₂AlC along with a secondary phase TiC was identified in the synthesized products. The grains of Ti₂AlC are typically plate-like with a size of 10–20 μm and several laminated Ti₂AlC grains form a layered structure. The content of Ti₂AlC yielded from the elemental powder compacts is about 85 wt%. The addition of TiC was found to facilitate the formation mechanism and therefore to enhance the extent of Ti₂AlC conversion approaching 90 wt%. As a result of the reduced exothermicity of the reaction, however, the content of Ti₂AlC decreased slightly in the products synthesized from the Al₄C₃-added samples.     

热喷涂TiB2-Ni复合涂层组织结构和力学性能

采用团聚烧结方法制备TiB₂-Ni复合粉末喂料,并采用大气等离子喷涂和高速火焰喷涂两种喷涂方法制备了TiB₂-Ni涂层,比较分析了两种涂层的显微组织、物相组成、孔隙率、硬度和断裂韧性.结果表明,与等离子喷涂相比,高速火焰喷涂制备的TiB₂-Ni涂层具有更高的致密度,TiB₂含量,硬度和断裂韧性.两种涂层中TiB₂都没有发生明显的脱硼,氧化,但等离子喷涂过程中TiB₂向金属相中发生了溶解生成了大量脆性Ni₂₀Ti₃B₆相,并降低了涂层中TiB₂的含量,这是涂层硬度和断裂韧性相对较低的主要原因.     

High-Temperature Oxidation Behavior of Ti2AlC in Air

The isothermal oxidation behavior of bulk Ti₂AlC in air has been investigated in temperature range 1000–1300°C for exposure time up to 20 hr by TGA, XRD, and SEM/EDS. The results demonstrated that Ti₂AlC had excellent oxidation resistance. The oxidation of Ti₂AlC obeyed a cubic law with cubic rate constants, k_c, increasing from 2.38×10^-12 to 2.13×10^-10 kg³/m⁶/sec as the temperature increased from 1000 to 1300°C. As revealed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and SEM/EDS results, scales consisting of a continuous inner -Al₂O₃ layer and a discontinuous outer TiO₂ (rutile) layer formed on the Ti₂AlC substrate. A possible mechanism for the selective oxidation of Al to form protective alumina is proposed in comparison with the oxidation of Ti–Al alloys. In addition, the scales had good adhesion to the Ti₂AlC substrate during thermal cycling.     

Preparation of TiAl3-Al composite coating by cold spraying

TiAl₃-Al coating was deposited on orthorhombic Ti₂AlNb alloy substrate by cold spraying with the mixture of pure Al and Ti as the feedstock powder at a fixed molar ratio of 3:1 when the spraying distance, gas temperature and gas pressure for the process were 10 mm, 250 °C and 1.8 MPa, respectively. The as-sprayed coating was then subjected to heat treatment at 630 °C in argon atmosphere for 5 h at a heating rate of 3 °C/min and an argon gas flow rate of 40 mL/min. The obtained TiAl₃-Al composite coating is about 212 μm with a density of 3.16 g/cm³ and a porosity of 14.69% in general. The microhardness and bonding strength for the composite coating are HV525 and 27.12 MPa.     

Characterization of microstructure of Nano-TiO2 coating deposited by vacuum cold spraying

Control of the microstructure of TiO₂ coatings through preparation methods significantly influences the coating performance. In this study, a vacuum cold-spray process, as a new coating technology, is used to deposit nanocrystalline TiO₂ coatings on conducting glass and stainless steel substrates. TiO₂ deposits were formed using two types of nanocrystalline TiO₂ powders with mean particle diameters of 200 and 25 nm. Coating microstructures were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction analysis. Results demonstrate that a thick nanocrystalline TiO₂ coating can be deposited by the vacuum cold-spray process. The coating was found to consist of particles stacked as agglomerates that build up to several hundred nanometers. The coating also presents a mesoporous microstructure that could be effective in such applications as photocatalytic degradation and dye-sensitized solar cells.

Fabrication and oxidation behavior of Cr2AlC coating on Ti6242 alloy

An ∼ 5 µm Cr₂AlC coating was synthesized on near-α titanium alloy Ti6242 using an industrially sized magnetron sputtering coater. Isothermal oxidation at 700 °C and 800 °C, and cyclic oxidation at 700 °C of the bare alloys and coated specimens were investigated in air. The results indicated that the Ti6242 alloy faced serious oxidation problems at 700 °C and 800 °C. Repeated formation and spallation of the multilayered oxide scale on the Ti6242 alloy occurred during oxidation testing. The coated specimens exhibited much better oxidation behaviour as compared to the bare alloy. A continuous Al-rich oxide scale formed on the coating surface during the initial oxidation stages. The oxide scale and coating itself acted as diffusion barriers blocking the further ingress of oxygen and protected the substrate alloy from oxidation. The oxidation mechanisms of the bare alloy and the coated specimens were investigated based on the experimental results.
