Structural change in diamond by hydrogen plasma treatment at room temperature

The structural change of diamond induced by hydrogen plasma exposure at room temperature, and its thermal stability, were investigated using electron spin resonance (ESR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. ESR observation revealed that it gave rise to a highly defective structure (spin concentration of 10²⁰ cm^{− 3}), which is very similar to the structure of hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C : H) confirmed by XPS and FTIR. Post-annealing was also carried out to clarify the thermal stability of the defects. The number of spin centers decreased with increasing annealing temperature, and eventually, the defective structure changed to a graphitic one by annealing at 800 °C.     

Shock-induced phase transition of oriented pyrolytic graphite to diamond at pressures up to 15 GPa

In studies of shock-induced phase transition of ordered pyrolytic graphite to a diamond-like phase, the lowest transition onset pressure was observed at 19.6 GPa. The phase transition in that case was considered to be martensitic. In the present study ordered pyrolytic graphite with voids between particles was loaded at pressures up to 15 GPa using a planar shock wave propagating along the basal plane of the graphitic crystal structure. As a result, both diamond-like carbon and diamond were observed in the postshock sample. The phase transition of graphite to diamond was assumed to occur by the release of distortional energy stored in the graphite particles, that is, diffusional-controlled reconstructive mechanism, on the basis of the data by high resolution electron microscopy together with electron energy loss spectroscopy.

Advanced Coatings on Furnace Wall Tubes

Nickel-based self-fluxing alloy coating extends the service life of furnace wall tubes at waste incineration plants due to its excellent corrosion resistance and heat resistance. Fusing of such coatings by induction heating offers improved efficiency and reliability of products. Compared with conventional plasma, flame, and high-velocity oxy-fuel spraying thermal-sprayed coatings, induction-fused coatings provide a far stronger metallurgical bond at the interface, while minimizing the inclusion of pores. In addition, the tubes are less costly than those with welded coatings, and the process reduces the distortion of the products, facilitating easier final assembly. A successful experimental application of 11 units in a waste incinerator revealed virtually no corrosion on the exposed surfaces, and showed an improved water heating efficiency over that of the original tubes. Such units are now being employed in four incinerators in Taiwan, and continuing tests are showing great promise.     

Evaluation of different coating systems by electrochemical methods

Corrosion protection of organic coated steel is determined by free corrosion potential measurements and impedance spectroscopy. The results are classified by means of very basic considerations and evaluation figures are developed. These electrochemical data are correlated with the extent of the corrosion for each coating system. The evaluation figures are used for ranking coating systems and this ranking is correlated with the ranking with reference to the results of standardized and exposure tests.

Preparation of micro-arc oxidation coatings on magnesium alloy and its thermal shock resistance property

1. Introduction Due to their high specific strength, good electro-magnetic shielding characteristics, high damping characteristics, good cast ability, and excellent pol-ishing capability, magnesium alloys are extensively used in aeronautical, automobile, and electro- communication industries [1-3]. But magnesium has some disadvantages, such as low chemical stability, high negative electric potential, and low hardness, so it is necessary to use surface disposal to accommo-date the demand for re…     

Surface characterization of 6H-SiC (0001) substrates in indentation and abrasive machining

Surface characterization of 6H-SiC (0001) substrates in indentation and abrasive machining was carried out to investigate microfracture, residual damage, and surface roughness associated with material removal and surface generation. Brittle versus plastic deformation was studied using Vickers indention and nano-indentation. To characterize the abrasive machining response, the 6H-SiC (0001) substrates were ground using diamond wheels with grit sizes of 25, 15 and 7 μm, and then polished with diamond suspensions of 3 and 0.05 μm. It is found that in indentation, there was a scale effect for brittle versus plastic deformation in 6H-SiC substrates. Also, in grinding, the scales of fracture and surface roughness of the substrates decreased with a decrease in diamond grit size. However, in polishing, a reduction in grit size of diamond suspensions gave no significant improvement in surface roughness. Furthermore, the results showed that fracture-free 6H-SiC (0001) surfaces were generated in polishing with the existence of the residual crystal defects, which were associated with the origin of defects in single crystal growth.
