A new microsecond pulse-heating system to investigate thermophysical properties of solid and liquid metals

A new discharge system for resistive self-heating has been constructed for the measurement of accurate thermophysical properties. A constant-current pulse is used to heat metals over a time interval of 50 to 100 s, reaching temperatures up to the boiling point. New techniques have been developed to obtain sound speeds in the pulse-heated sample, emissivities, and vapor pressure. A new pyrometer allows the extension of the measured temperature range down to the melting point of copper.     

OBSERVATION ON SPUTTERING SURFACE OF ALLOYS IN GLOW DISCHARGE

Glow discharge cathodic sputtering of alloys containing second phase precipitates or injectedoxide particles has been observed with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer and scanningelectron microprobe.It was shown that the formation of cones during the sputtering in thesealloys is due to masking of the matrix by glow sputtering second phase precipitates or oxideparticles.At steady state,the density of cottes were found to be a function of the densities pre-cipitates or oxide particles in bulk alloy.In addition to the changes of local sputtering rate,theelectrostatic effect may play a role on the formation fo cones.

土壤中侵蚀性离子对X70钢的侵蚀作用研究

采用极化曲线并结合E-pH图分析，研究了土壤中主要侵蚀性离子CO2-3、HCO-3、SO2-4、Cl-对管线钢X70钢的侵蚀作用。结果表明：在酸性介质中，SO2-4、Cl-2种离子对X70钢的侵蚀能力无明显差别；X70钢在含有SO2-4、Cl-离子的介质中发生活性溶解，由于含有多种钝性元素以及材料的组织结构较均匀，X70钢在此介质中的耐蚀性优于A3钢。但在含有CO2-3、HCO-3的碱性体系中，X70钢的耐蚀性随pH值变化。在含有HCO-3的弱碱体系（pH=8）中，X70钢具有一定的钝化能力，但A3钢的耐蚀性优于X70钢，在含有CO2-3的中等碱体系（pH=10）中，X70钢的耐蚀性优于A3钢，在含有CO2-3的强碱体系中,A3钢的耐蚀性优于X70钢。      

NICKEL-BASED ALLOYS IN GE AIRCRAFT TURBINES：PAST,PRESENT ＆ FUTURE

1. Introduction Freedom to travel anywhere in the world, both quickly and inexpensively, defines our modern era. Despite year-to-year variation, the long term demand for travel by airplane continues to grow. Three ma- jor systems comprise the modern airplane: the aircraft structure that encompasses the fuselage, wings, and landing gear; the avionics that enable flight through crowded skies in nearly all weather conditions; and the propulsion system that powers the aircraft.

Corrosion rate of magnesium and its alloys in buffered chloride solutions

The effect of the buffer capacity of test solution on the corrosion rate of cast pure (>99.95 mass%) and high-purity (>99.9999 mass%) magnesium, and AZ31 and AZ91E has been studied. Their corrosion rates were measured gravimetrically in a pH 6.5 and a pH 9 borate buffer including chloride ions, and in a conventional chloride solution. Except for the AZ91E in the pH 6.5, the corrosion rates of all the examined materials depended solely on the pH of the test solution, although the materials had a variety of purity and alloying elements. Higher buffer capacity probably masked the detrimental effect of the “cathodic impurities”. The corrosion rates measured in the buffers were considered as giving the resistivity of the passive film to anodic reactions. The high-purity magnesium had a fair corrosion resistance even in conventional chloride solution.     

Preparation of carbon nanotube composite material with metal matrix by electroplating

It is demonstrated that the nickel can be deposited directly on the surface of carbon nanotubes without pre-sensitization by Sn^2＋ and Pd^2＋ in a watt bath containing suspended nanotubes by electroplating. The nickel is deposited as spherical nanoparticle on the nanotubes. By increasing reaction time, the carbon nanotube is fully coated with nickel. A probable model, which represents the formation process of carbon nanotube-nickel composites by electroplating, is presented. The results show that this method is efficient and simple for preparing carbon nanotube-metal composite.     

Interaction between erosion and high-temperature corrosion of metals: The erosion-affected oxidation regime

The combined erosion-oxidation of nickel, cobalt, and the oxides of these metals have been studied at 780°C in air to examine two regimes of interactionnamely, a regime of erosion-enhanced oxidation during which an oxide scale of constant thickness covers metal specimens, and a regime of oxidation-affected erosion that is characterized by a composite surface layer of metal, oxide, and erodent. In the case of cobalt, these two regimes have been documented and the transition from one regime to another described. For the range of conditions examined, only the oxidation-affected erosion regime was observed for nickel due to its lower oxidation rate compared to cobalt.     

土壤中阴离子对碳钢腐蚀的影响

应用弱极化曲线技术和交流阻抗谱研究了土壤中C1-、SO4^2-、CO3^2-、NO3-离子对碳钢腐蚀的影响。结果表明：阴离子对碳钢腐蚀的影响是显著的。当土壤中分别添加Cl-、CO3^2-、NO3-离子时，随着阴离子含量的增大，碳钢的腐蚀速率增大，在某一离子含量时，腐蚀速率达到最大，然后腐蚀速率随着离子含量的增加而减小。在含SO4^2-离子的土壤中随着SO4^2-离子含量的增大，土壤中碳钢的腐蚀速率增大。在有四种阴离子土壤中，阻抗谱均为单容抗弧，且大都在低频区出现扩散弧。     

Effects of phosphorus addition on the magnetic properties of sintered Fe-50 wt.% Ni alloys

Phosphorus was added to Fe-50 wt.% Ni in the form of a coated composite powder via an electroless plating process. Addition of phosphorus to Fe-50 wt.% Ni facilitated increases in density and grain size, both of which were beneficial to magnetic performance. Because of the homogeneous distribution of phosphorus in the powder, the optimal phosphorus addition was much lower than for those using Fe₃P as the phosphorus precursor. The optimal phosphorus addition was close to its maximum solubility in Fe-50 wt.% Ni (about 0.5 wt.%), above which precipitation of excessive phosphorus in the form of iron nickel phosphide, (Fe,Ni)₃P, effectively degraded the magnetic properties of Fe-50 wt.% Ni. Without the addition of phosphorus, good magnetic properties could be achieved only when the sintering temperature was high enough (>1200 °C) to result in a high sintered density and large grains in the sintered structure.
