Poly(N-methylaniline) coatings on stainless steel by electropolymerization

Poly(N-methylaniline) (PNMA) coatings have been electropolymerized on 304 stainless steel alloy by potentiodynamic, galvanostatic and potentiostatic synthesis techniques from aqueous solutions of 0.1 M N-methylaniline (NMA) and 0.3 M oxalic acid. Characterization of PNMA coatings was carried out by cyclic voltammetry, UV-Vis and FTIR spectroscopy techniques. Corrosion behavior of PNMA coated stainless steel electrodes was investigated using linear anodic potentiodynamic polarization, Tafel test, chronoamperometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques in 0.5 M aqueous HCl solutions. Corrosion test results showed that PNMA coatings possessed protection to uncoated stainless steel against corrosion.

The Al–R–Mg (R=Gd, Dy, Ho) systems. Part I: experimental investigation

Key experiments were carried out on the three Al–R–Mg (R=Gd,Dy,Ho) systems and the results obtained used for the thermodynamic optimisation reported in a separate paper in this issue [Caccasmani G, De Negri S, Saccone A, Ferro R. Intermetallics this issue.]. The samples were characterized by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), light optical microscopy (LOM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and quantitative electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). The isothermal sections at 400 °C are all characterized by extended homogeneity regions at a constant rare earth content. The extension of the (Mg,Al)R solid solution, cP2-CsCl type, varies with the R atomic number. Ternary compounds (τ) of Al₂(R,Mg) stoichiometry (hexagonal Laves phases with MgNi₂-type structure) have been found to exist at 400 °C in all the systems. Their temperatures of formation were detected by DTA measurements.     

TiN及WC加入量对Ti(C,N)基金属陶瓷组织与性能的影响

本文研究了TiN及WC加入量对金属陶瓷组织和性能的影响．结果表明，随TiN加入量的增加，组织细化，WC形成TiC－WC固溶体的临界加入量约为15％，超过15％时将使部分WC以针状或针片状形式存在，使硬度降低．     

热处理对两种铜膜结合强度的影响

采用PVD和CVD技术制备Cu/TiN/PI试样，研究表明，TiN薄膜可以有效地阻挡Cu向PI基板内部扩散，CVD工艺制备的Cu膜内部残余应力很小，Cu膜有相对高的结合强度；而PVD制备的Cu膜，在有TiN阻挡层存在的情况下，Cu膜内存在拉应力，拉应力降低了Cu膜结合强度，300℃退火可以消除膜内残余应力，结合强度提高。     

TiN涂层性能的分析与测定

测定并分析了用PCVD法获得的TiN涂层内的残余应力、涂层的抗变形性以及涂层的耐磨性。实验结果表明,TiN涂层内有残余应应力存在,在一定的变形力作用下,涂层将发生脆性断裂,TiN涂层的耐磨性是45°淬火钢的24倍。TiN涂层这些特性为它的应用奠定了基础。     

纳米TiN改性Ti(C,N)基金属陶瓷的抗热震性能

为研究不同粘结相对纳米TiN改性Ti(C,N)基金属陶瓷抗热震性能的影响,真空烧结制备了粘结相质量分数分别为20%Ni、10%Co-10%Ni和20%Co的Ti(C,N)基金属陶瓷。采用扫描电镜研究了材料的组织,并测量了力学性能。采用压痕-急冷法主要研究了其抗热震性能,结果表明,随着温度的升高和热循环次数的增加,裂纹增长,粘结相为Ni的金属陶瓷的抗热震性优于粘结相为Co的金属陶瓷。显微照片表明,裂纹主要沿硬质相/粘结相界面及粘结相扩展。     

Surface modification of spherical LiNi1/3Co 1/3 Mn1/3O2 with Al2O3 using heterogeneous nucleation process

To improve the cycle stability at high voltage and high charge/discharge rate, spherical LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 was coated with Al2O3 by using heterogeneous nucleation process, and the physical and electrochemical properties were studied. The SEM images show that there is a uniform coating on the modified spherical LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2. The electrochemical tests indicate that the properties of LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 coated with 0.5% aluminum oxide are the best. The initial capacities are 150 and 173 mA.h/g at the rate of I C in the voltage range of 2.7-4.3 V and 2.7-4.6 V, respectively, and the discharge capacities maintain about 99% and 85% after 30 cycles, respectively. While those of the bare LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 are only 90% and 75%, respectively. The CV tests of LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 show that Al203-coating can restrain the oxide-reduction peak currents fading during the charge/discharge course.     

Microstructure and formation mechanism of titanium matrix composites coating on Ti-6Al-4V by laser cladding

Laser cladding experiments were done on a 5-kW continuous wave CO2 laser to synthesize TiC and TiB rein- fowed titanium matrix composite coatings on Ti-6AI-4V alloy with a mixture of Ti and B4C precursor powder. The ther- modynamics of the reactions were calculated and analyzed. The microstructure and phase evolution of TiB and TiC com- posites were investigated. The results showed that the chemical reaction between Ti and B4C would release much heat, and these compounds, TiC, TiB, and small amount of TiB2, can be formed on the surface of Ti-6AI-4V alloy if the supplied en- ergy is sufficient to excite the reaction among the initial products. A good metallurgical bond between the coating and the substrate can be achieved. The microhardness of coating was irregular and the maximum value was approximately HV600.     

Influence of chromium on the local structure and morphology of ferric oxyhydroxides

The extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) method and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) have been used for characterizing the local structure and morphology of ferric oxyhydroxides, α-FeOOH and γ-FeOOH, with and without chromium. These ferric oxyhydroxide powders were prepared from aqueous solutions containing iron and chromium ions. Radial structural functions for iron obtained by Fe K edge EXAFS spectra showed that the linkage of structural units formed by FeO₆ octahedra in γ-FeOOH is distorted by chromium addition, while such distortion in α-FeOOH is not clearly detected. On the other hand, Cr K edge EXAFS spectra showed that the local structure around chromium does not necessarily correspond to the local structure around of iron, which is observed by Fe K edge EXAFS spectra. This suggests that the structural units containing iron and chromium are heterogeneously distributed in these ferric oxyhydroxides. The local structural information was discussed coupled with morphological features of these ferric oxyhydroxides observed by TEM.
