Formation of scanning tracks during Selective Laser Melting (SLM) of pure tungsten powder: Morphology,geometric features and forming mechanisms

Due to the high melting point and high heat conductivity, selective laser melting (SLM) of tungsten is still challenging. To have a better understanding of SLM tungsten parts, the effects of processing parameters such as laser power and scanning speed on scanning tracks formation of pure tungsten powder were investigated. As linear energy increased with increasing laser power and decreasing scanning speed, the height and contact angle of scanning tracks gradually reduced, while the width and penetration depth increased. Owing to the good wetting and spreading, the flow front of scanning tracks gradually became smooth and stable with the increased linear energy. However, the transverse cracks induced by large temperature gradient and high cooling rate appeared on the surface of the scanning tracks at linear energy of more than 1.75 J/mm. A maximum temperature of 4630.27 °C and high cooling rate of 8.6 × 10⁶ °C/s were obtained during SLM process of tungsten powder when the linear energy was 1.75 J/mm. This work provides scientific guidance for SLM-processed tungsten parts.

常压及高压凝固Al-Mg及Al-Mg-Zn合金中Al相的固溶体结构

采用X射线衍射仪、能谱仪和透射电镜分别对Al-9.6%Mg合金、Al-11Mg-4.5Zn合金和Al-17Zn-1.5Mg合金常压及6 GPa高压凝固后Al相的固溶体结构进行研究。结果表明:6GPa高压凝固后,Al-9.6%Mg合金中Mg在Al相中的固溶度显著增大;在Al-11Mg-4.5Zn合金和Al-17Zn-1.5Mg合金中,Mg、Zn溶质在Al相中的固溶度均增大,但Zn比Mg固溶的比例要大得多。在常压凝固条件下,与纯铝相比,3种合金中Al相的晶格常数均增大。与常压凝固相比,高压凝固Al-9.6Mg合金和Al-11Mg-4.5Zn中Al相晶格常数分别增大了1.178%和0.220%;在Al-17Zn-1.5Mg合金中,Al相晶格常数变化很小。此外,在Al-Mg-Zn合金中,原子半径较大的Mg固溶到Al相中,导致其晶格常数增大,原子半径较小的Zn固溶到Al相中,导致其晶格常数减小,且高压凝固后,溶质的原子半径越小,在Al相中固溶的比例越大。     

Crystal structures and elastic properties of Ti(Cu,Pt)2 and Ti(Cu,Pt)3 phases

This paper focused on the crystal structures of two new ternary phases, Ti(Cu,Pt)₂ and Ti(Cu,Pt)₃, which were studied by X-ray powder diffraction data using Rietveld method. Electron probe microanalysis was used for sample composition examination. Elastic properties of these phases were further measured by nano-indentation, and meanwhile calculated with first-principle (FP) calculations. It is found that the crystal structure of Ti(Cu,Pt)₂ is of orthorhombic cell space group Amm2 (No. 38) with structural prototype of VAu₂. The resolved structure of Ti(Cu,Pt)₃ is of tetragonal AlPt₃ type, belonging to the space group P4/mmm (No. 123). The nano-indentation measurement and FP calculations show that the elastic modulus of Ti(Cu,Pt)₂ increases firstly then decreases with Pt content, whereas that of Ti(Cu,Pt)₃ almost linearly increases with Pt content.     

Surface modification of NiTi/PZT heterostructure thin films using various protective layers for potential MEMS applications

The present study explored the in-situ deposition of hard and adherent nanocrystalline protective coatings on NiTi/PZT/TiO_x thin film heterostructure prepared by dc/rf magnetron sputtering. Protective layers (AlN, CrN and TiCrN) of approximate thickness (~ 200 nm) were used to improve the surface, mechanical and corrosion properties of NiTi/PZT/TiO_x heterostructure without sacrificing the shape memory effect and ferroelectricity of the NiTi and PZT layers, respectively. The influence of the protective layer on structural, electrical and mechanical properties of NiTi/PZT/TiO_x heterostructure was systematically investigated and the results were compared. Nanoindentation studies were performed at room temperature to determine the hardness and reduced modulus. The surface modified NiTi/PZT/TiO_x heterostructures were found to exhibit high hardness, high elastic modulus and thereby better wear resistance as compared to pure NiTi/PZT/TiO_x films. From the results of potentiodynamic polarization test conducted in 1 M NaCl solution, the CrTiN coated NiTi/PZT/TiO_x heterostructure showed the best corrosion resistance with the lowest corrosion current density (1.52 × 10^? 8 A cm^? 2) and the highest protective efficiency (96.8%). The results presented here prove the potential of a surface modified NiTi/PZT/TiO_x heterostructure to be used in various microelectromechanical (MEMS) applications.
