Effect of Ti or TiN codeposition on the performance of MoS2-based composite coatings

Properties of MoS₂ coatings can be improved by the codeposition of a small amount of titanium (Ti). In this study, MoS₂-based composite coatings, which consisted of Ti or titanium nitride (TiN) and molybdenum disulfide, are synthesized by unbalanced plasma plating. Two forms of MoS₂-based composite coatings have been developed: TiN-MoS₂/Ti and TiN-MoS₂/TiN coatings. The effect of Ti or TiN and processing parameters on properties of such coatings are investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dry drilling and turning tests are used to determine the structure, composition and tribological performance of MoS₂-based coatings. Experimental results indicate that these MoS₂-based composite coatings are considerably more wear-resistant and are less sensitive to atmospheric water vapor than pure MoS₂ coatings. These coatings show excellent results when tested for a wide range of industrial turning and drilling applications.     

Effects of superstructure flexibility on strength of reinforced concrete bridge decks

This research studies the impact of the relative rigidity between the concrete bridge deck and the remaining structural components of the bridge superstructure on the behavior of the concrete deck. The study uses non-linear 3-D FEM models, which are developed using ANSYS 5.7 software package. Experimental data from one-span non-composite bridge superstructure are used to validate and calibrate the proposed FEM models. A series of parametric studies is conducted with respect to three parameters: (a) composite action, (b) slenderness ratio, and (c) presence of diaphragms. The analysis results are discussed in detail and conclusions on the behavior of the bridge deck are presented.     

Direct current bias applied to hot flame diamond deposition produces smooth low friction coatings

As-deposited diamond coatings generally have a high surface roughness which results in a high friction coefficient and extensive wear of the counter material in sliding contact. Therefore several methods for smoothening diamond coatings have been proposed, such as laser polishing, molten metal etching, thermochemical polishing and mechanical polishing. All these methods have some disadvantage e.g. long processing time or high processing temperature. Furthermore, they are all post-deposition treatments i.e. the manufacture of these coatings requires at least two processing steps, deposition and smoothening. With the present method which combines d.c. bias with hot flame diamond deposition, a smooth diamond surface is produced during the actual growth of the film. No post-deposition treatment is necessary. The surface roughness is not dependent on the coating thickness which means that thick coatings with smooth surface can be produced. In fact, the method has a smoothening effect, i.e. rough surfaces can be made smooth. The method is comparable to conventional hot flame deposition of diamond as to growth rate and cost of producing the coatings. The coatings have a nano-crystalline structure and a surface roughness of Ra = 25 nm, and result in a friction coefficient of 0.1 or less in dry sliding and about 0.05 in water-lubricated sliding against cemented carbide. Their wear resistance is virtually the same as that of conventional diamond films.

Thermal conductivity of （Sm1-xLax）2Zr2O7 （x=0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1） oxides for advanced thermal barrier coatings

Pyrochlore oxides of general compositions, A2Zr2O7, where A is a 3+ cation (La to Lu), are promising candidate materials for ap-plications as high temperature thermal barrier coatings because of their high melting points, high thermal expansion coefficients, and low thermal conductivities. In this study, oxides of Sm2Zr2O7, (Sm0.75La0.25)2Zr2O7, (Sm0.5 La0.5)2Zr2O7, (Sm0.25La0.75)2Zr2O7 and La2Zr2O7 were prepared by solid reactions at 1600 ℃ for 10 h using Sm2O3, La2O3 and ZrO2 as the reactants. The phase compositions of these ceramic ma-terials were analyzed by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) methods, respectively. The micro-structure was observed by scanning electronl microscope (SEM). The thermal conductivities of these ceramic materials were measured using laser-flash method. XRD and FT-IR results showed that pure ceramic materials with pyrochlore structure were prepared successfully. SEM results indicated that microstructures of these ceramic materials were dense and grain boundaries were very clean. The La2O3 doped Sm2Zr2O7 pyrochlores (Sm0.75 La0.25)2Zr2O7 and (Sm0.5 La0.5)2Zr2O7 had lower thermal conductivity than the undoped Sm2Zr2O7. The thermal conductivity of (Sm0.25La0.75)2Zr2O7 was found to be lower than that of La2Zr2O7. The results showed that these ceramic materials had the poten-tial to be used as candidate materials for TBCs.

纳米及传统微米级热障涂层热循环过程中的组织演变研究

本文以超音速等离子喷涂方法沉积NiCoCrAlY金属粘结层,以普通大气等离子喷涂沉积纳米及微米级YSZ两种陶瓷表层,并对涂层进行热循环实验,对比研究不同结构热障涂层在热循环条件下的组织演变规律。结果表明：由于纳米团聚粉体的不充分熔化导致纳米涂层中存在较多的微裂纹和孔隙,微米、及纳米涂层的孔隙率分别为10%及15%,载荷300g下的显微硬度分别为776.1及606.9。两种结构的热障涂层在热循环过程中均出现了网状裂纹,但随着热循环次数的增加,这些微裂纹不断连接扩展,裂纹宽度不断增加,并且与纳米涂层相比,微米涂层裂纹的扩展和拓宽速度相对较快。纳米涂层由于孔隙率较高,热生长氧化物（TGO）生长速度较快,TGO的快速生长导致陶瓷层/金属粘接层界面的应力增大,使得横向裂纹（平行于陶瓷层/金属粘接层界面）萌生及扩展并引起涂层的剥落失效。
