Comparison between Ni-Cr-40vol%TiC wear-resistant plasma sprayed coatings produced from self-propagating high-temperature synthesis and plasma densified powders

Plasma sprayed Ni-Cr-40vol%TiC coatings produced from powders obtained by self-propagating hightemperature synthesis (SHS) and plasma densification (PD) processes are characterized. Chemical composition, microstructure, and mechanical properties, such as microhardness and wear resistance, are evaluated and compared. SHS coatings exhibit good sliding wear performance. The exact stoichiometry of titanium carbide inclusions in the metallic matrix affects the dimension of the crystal lattice parameter and was investigated by examining the shift of x-ray diffraction (XRD) peaks of the TiC. A value of the combined carbon/titanium ratio of about 0.6 was calculated for both powders, thus excluding the influence of the stoichiometry of the carbide inclusions on the wear properties of the coatings.

Effect of Substrate Surface Roughness on Properties of Ni-Cr Alloy Thin Film

The effect of surface roughness of aluminum oxide (95%) substrate on the properties of Ni-Cr alloy thin film is studied.The thin films are prepared on the substrates with different roughness by using magnetron sputtering.The micro-structure,adhesive and electrical properties of the thin films were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy,scratch method and four-probe method.The burst voltage and current of the thin film transducers with different substrates were measured according to D-optimization method.The results show that the particle size,structural defect,resistivity and adhesion strength of the thin film increase with the increase of the substrate roughness.The difference among the burst time of the samples with difference substrate roughness gradually decreases with the increase of stimulation amount.The burst time is approximate to 20 μs in the charging voltage of 37 V.     

On the electrochemical nature of hot-corrosion attack in Ni-Cr alloys

Hot-corrosion attack on gas-turbine components has been a problem of practical importance for over two decades. The nature and the extent of corrosion are influenced by the type of contaminants, the alloy constituents, and temperature. The hot-corrosion process is quite complex. There is controversy regarding the role of alloying elements, and whether the process is chemical or electrochemical in nature. In this investigation, an attempt has been made to investigate the role of Al and Ti in influencing the hot-corrosion attack of Ni-20 wt. % Cr alloys in molten Na₂SO₄-NaCl mixtures. It was found that Ni-Cr-Al alloys undergo a localized, heavy-blister attack under certain experimental conditions which is electrochemical in nature. An electrochemical model has been proposed which can satisfatorily explain the nature and kinetics of the localized blister corrosion.     

The high-temperature oxidation of Ni-20%Cr alloys containing various oxide dispersions

The oxidation behavior of Ni-20%Cr alloys containing approximately 3 vol.% Y₂O₃, ThO₂, and A1₂O₃ as dispersed particles has been examined in the temperature range 900 to 1200° C in slowly flowing oxygen at 100 Torr. The results show that the oxidation behavior of the Y₂O₃-, ThO₂-, Al₂O₃-, and Ce0₂-containing alloys is very similar and that some anomalies in the behavior of the ThO₂-containing alloy might be explained by the slower rate of chromium diffusion in this coarse-grained alloy. Two Al₂O₃-containing alloys were studied. One with a relatively coarse dispersoid size behaved in a manner analogous to a dispersion-free Ni-30% Cr alloy at 1100°C. The other alloy contained a dispersion of fine Al₂O₃ particles and behaved exactly like the Y₂O₃-containing alloy at 1000 and 1100°C, but at 1200° C oxidized at a faster rate. It has been shown that the adherent scales on dispersion-containing alloys have a stabilized fine grain size, whereas the nonadherent scales on dispersion-free alloys undergo grain growth.This work has been supported by the Naval Air Systems Command under Contract No. N00019-72-C-0190.     

Improving corrosion resistance of Q235 steel by Ni-Cr alloyed layer

Ni-Cr alloyed layer was formed on surface of Q235 steel by double glow plasma surface metallurgy to improve the corrosion resistance of substrate. The composition and microstructure of alloyed layer was analyzed by SEM and XRD. Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was applied to evaluate the corrosion resistance of the alloyed layer. The results showed working pressure had a great effect on structure of Ni-Cr alloyed layer, and the dense and smooth alloyed layer was prepared at 50 Pa working pressure. Compared with substrate, Ni-Cr alloyed layer exhibited higher corrosion potential, lower corrosion current density and larger charge transfer resistance, which indicated that Ni-Cr alloyed layer significantly modified the corrosion resistance of Q235 steel.

Ni-Cr合金真空钎焊金刚石的热损伤分析

钎焊金刚石工具具有高的出露和连接强度,但金刚石磨料在钎焊过程中所受的热损伤对其寿命影响较大,因此文中对钎焊金刚石的热损伤作了分析.采用Ni-Cr合金对金刚石进行钎焊试验,利用SEM,EDS对金刚石的表面形貌进行观察分析,采用拉曼光谱仪对金刚石表面进行石墨化分析及热应力分析.结果表明,经Ni-Cr合金钎焊后金刚石表面有较多的碳化物(Cr3C2,Cr7C3)生成,同时发现金刚石表面有少量石墨化和化学侵蚀,其顶部的拉应力大约为110MPa,底部的压应力大约为520MPa.     

Corrosion of nickel-chromium alloys, stainless steel and niobium at supercritical water oxidation conditions

Results of immersion tests of UNS N06625 (alloy 625), UNS S31609 (alloy 316 L), Ni-20Cr alloy and Nb coupons exposed to oxygenated ammoniacal sulphate solution at supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) conditions are presented. The corrosion behavior of the alloy 316 L (UNS S31603) SCWO reactor tubing is also presented under the same conditions. Immersion coupons corroded at a rate not exceeding 40 mm yr⁻¹ while the reactor tube itself corroded at a rate of between 160-1500 mm yr⁻¹, depending on which length of the reactor is considered to have corroded. Morphological and chemical analysis of the oxides present on the coupon samples suggest that iron oxides, which had initially precipitated on the corroding alloy 316 tube surface, were removed by heat flux-driven fluid mechanical action and transported through the reactor where they deposited on the coupons. Niobium was resistant to corrosion at the tested conditions.
