Effect of substrate surface roughness on the adherence of NiCrAlY thermal spray coatings

The adherence of plasma sprayed NiCrAlY bond coats can be improved by an appropriate substrate surface finish. The interface fracture energy for crack propagation along the coating/substrate interface has been measured for different surface roughness by means of a specially designed four-point bending test. An increase of the interface fracture energy of about 15% was observed for a three times higher surface roughness. In addition, four-point bending tests with the coating on the side face of bending specimens were performed to analyze the fracture and spalling behavior of the coatings both under large tensile and compressive substrate deformations.     

Fuzzy adaptive networks in machining process modeling: surface roughness prediction for turning operations

Due to the complexity of the machine tool structure and the cutting process, the dynamics of machining processes are still not completely understood. This is especially true due to the demand of high-speed machining to increase productivity. In order to model and control these complex processes, new approaches, which can represent complex phenomenon combined with learning ability, are needed. The combined neural–fuzzy approach appears to be ideally suited for this purpose. In this paper, the recently developed fuzzy adaptive network (FAN) is used to model surface roughness in turning operations. The FAN network has both the learning ability of neural network and linguistic representation of complex, not well-understood, vague phenomenon. Furthermore, it can continuously improve the initially obtained rough model based on the daily operating data. To illustrate this approach, a model representing the influences of machining parameters on surface roughness is established and then the model is verified by the use of the results of pilot experiments. Finally, a comparison with the results based on statistical regression is provided.     

Preparation of flee-standing diamond films for high frequency SAW devices

Free-standing diamond films were prepared by hot filament chemical vapor deposition （HFCVD） method under different conditions. Inter-digital transducers （IDTs） were formed on the nucleation sides of free-standing diamond films by photolithography technique. Then piezoelectric ZnO films were deposited by radio-frequency（RF） reactive magnetron sputtering to obtain the ZnO/diamond film structures. Surface morphologies of the nucleation sides and the IDTs were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, atomic force microscope （AFM） and optical microscopy. The results indicate that the surfaces of nucleation sides are very smooth and the IDTs are of high quality without discontinuity and short circuit phenomenon. Raman spectra show the sharp diamond feature peak at about 1 334 cmI and the small amount of non-diamond carbon in the nucleation side. X-ray diffraction （XRD） patterns of the structure of ZnO/diamond films show a strong diffraction peak of ZnO （002）, which indicates that as-sputtered ZnO films are highly c-axis oriented.     

A comparative study of reactive direct current magnetron sputtered CrAlN and CrN coatings

Approximately 1.5 μm thick CrN and CrAlN coatings were deposited on silicon and mild steel substrates by reactive direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering. The structural and mechanical properties of the coatings were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and nanoindentation techniques, respectively. The bonding structure of the coatings was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The surface morphology of the coatings was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The XRD data showed that the CrN and CrAlN coatings exhibited B1 NaCl structure. Nanoindentation measurements showed that as-deposited CrN and CrAlN coatings exhibited a hardness of 18 and 33 GPa, respectively. Results of the surface analysis of the as-deposited coatings using SEM and AFM showed a more compact and dense microstructure for CrAlN coatings. The thermal stability of the coatings was studied by heating the coatings in air from 400 to 900 °C. The structural changes as a result of heating were studied using micro-Raman spectroscopy. The Raman data revealed that CrN coatings got oxidized at 600 °C, whereas in the case of CrAlN coatings, no detectable oxides were formed even at 800 °C. After annealing up to 700 °C, the CrN coatings displayed a hardness of only about 7.5 GPa as compared to CrAlN coatings, which exhibited hardness as high as 22.5 GPa. The potentiodynamic polarization measurements in 3.5% NaCl solution indicated that the CrAlN coatings exhibited superior corrosion resistance as compared to CrN coatings.     

Technical note: Plasma-sprayed ceramic thermal barrier coatings for smooth intermetallic alloys

A durable ceramic thermal barrier coating is applied directly to a smooth, highly oxidation resistant intermetallic alloy in two layers. The first layer of ceramic is applied by low pressure plasma spraying and the second layer is applied by conventional atmospheric pressure plasma spraying. This approach would allow the use of plasma sprayed ceramic coatings in applications where a metallic bond coat is not desirable.

目的探究二次喷丸工艺参数对42CrMo钢零件表面完整性的影响规律。方法建立三维随机喷丸有限元模型,并通过实验验证有限元模型预测残余应力的准确性。将一次喷丸后零件的表面形貌和应力应变结果作为初始状态导入到二次喷丸模型中,构建出二次喷丸预测模型。分析二次喷丸参数对42CrMo钢零件表面残余应力场、表面粗糙度以及等效塑性形变场的影响情况。结果二次喷丸后,42CrMo钢零件近表层(0～100μm)的残余压应力值均比初始状态有所增加。增加二次喷丸覆盖率对表面残余应力的提升作用最为明显,最大可比初始状态提高63.3%,而增加二次喷丸直径对残余应力的改善效果最不明显。过度增加二次喷丸速度会导致表面粗糙度明显增加,提高二次喷丸覆盖率可显著降低表面粗糙度,覆盖率为300%时,粗糙度比初始状态减小了14.4%。表层PEEQ值随着二次喷丸速度、弹丸直径和覆盖率的增加而增加,但当二次喷丸速度、弹丸直径和覆盖率增加到一定程度后,表层PEEQ值会趋于饱和。结论二次喷丸预测模型揭示了二次喷丸参数与42CrMo钢零件表面完整性之间的影响规律,为二次喷丸的工业应用提供了一定的参考意义。     

自锐性金刚石树脂砂轮磨削性能的研究

本文通过对比磨削试验，研究了自锐性金刚石(CSD)树脂砂轮的磨削性能。试验结果表明，由于CSD形状小规则，有许多凹入角和粗糙表面，树脂结合剂对CSD的把持力较普通金刚石强，所以在磨削各参数相同的条件下，自锐性金刚石砂轮与普通金刚石砂轮相比，其磨削比提高60％以上。且由于CSD的内部为许多单个亚晶粒所组成的镶嵌的颗粒，因此在应力作用下，只有很小的不规则的碎片崩掉，从而在每个颗粒的表面上留下许多新的小切削刃，故其加工工件的表面粗糙度值较低。
