镁合金表面铬掺杂类金刚石薄膜的制备与性能研究

本文利用阳极层离子束混合磁控溅射技术在AZ31镁合金表面制备了类金刚石涂层（DLC）和Cr掺杂DLC膜（Cr-DLC）,并利用Raman光谱、残余应力仪、划痕仪、摩擦磨损仪和电化学工作站等,对薄膜的碳结构、残余应力、结合力、摩擦学性能和耐腐蚀性进行了研究。结果表明：相比纯DLC膜,Cr-DLC膜具有较低的残余应力,较高的膜/基结合力。Cr-DLC膜能显著提高镁合金的抗摩擦磨损性能,但对改善镁合金耐腐蚀性能影响不大。     

Improvement of ITO-free inverted polymer-based solar cells by using colloidal zinc oxide nanocrystals as electron-selective buffer layer

In this study, we report on the improvement of ITO-free inverted polymer/fullerene solar cells by introducing a zinc oxide (ZnO) layer between the active layer and the cathode. The ZnO layers are deposited from solution, using colloidal ZnO nanocrystals with a rodlike shape, which are obtained using a wet-chemical synthesis route at low temperature. The nanocrystals are widely characterized with respect to their structural, optical, and electronic properties. In particular, simulations of powder X-ray diffraction data based on Rietveld refinement are shown to be a suitable method to characterize the average crystallite shape and particle size. Cyclic voltammetry reveals that nanocrystalline ZnO is an appropriate choice as electron-selective buffer layer in organic solar cells based on a bulk heterojunction of poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and [6,6]-phenyl-C₆₁-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM). Using ITO-free inverted solar cells in substrate configuration with an opaque Cr/Al/Cr bottom electrode, we demonstrate that introducing a cathodic interlayer of ZnO nanocrystals leads to a notable enhancement in photovoltaic performance. The magnitude of the effect is found to depend on the solvents used to process the active layer. In case of absorber blends processed from o-dichlorobenzene, we show an almost threefold increase in efficiency from 0.8 to 2.2% at an active area of 1 cm².

Suppressing Growth of the Cu<Subscript>5</Subscript>Zn<Subscript>8</Subscript> Intermetallic Layer in Sn-Zn-Ag-Al-Ga/Cu Solder Joints

Cu₅Zn₈ normally forms between Sn-Zn solder and Cu metallization. In this study, the growth of the intermetallic compound (IMC) layer is slowed by increasing the silver content in the Sn-8.5Zn-Ag-Al-Ga/Cu system. Experimental results showed that the total thickness of the IMC layers formed with 1.5 wt.% silver content was about half that without silver. The reduction might be due to the formation of the intermetallic compound (Ag,Cu)-Zn at the interface in addition to silver.

High-temperature oxidation of directionally solidified Ni-Cr-Nb-AI (γ/γ′-δ) eutectic alloys

The oxidation of Ni-23.1Nb-4.4Al and Ni-19.7Nb-6 Cr-2.5Al alloys in air at temperatures in the range 870–1100°C has been studied for times up to 168 hr, in the as-cast, slowly cooled, and directionally solidified forms. The oxidation rate decreases with increasing temperature for the ternary alloy, and this appears to be due to the increasing tendency to establish a continuous Al₂O₃ layer at the metal surface, although at no temperature in this range is a complete layer established. At the lowest temperature the -Ni₃Nb lamellae are preferentially oxidized, with fingers of oxide extending into the metal, but at 900°C and above a continuous single-phase 8-free layer is established at the metal surface very early in the oxidation. The oxidation rate of the quaternary alloy increases with increasing temperature. At the lower temperatures a continuous Al₂O₃ layer is established at the metal surface, but at the highest temperature the aluminum oxidizes internally and a continuous layer is not established, internal oxidation penetrating down the lamellae. It appears that niobium, like chromium, is able to promote the formation of external Al₂O₃ layers; if this fact is accepted, the beneficial role of chromium in these alloys is difficult to explain.     

Microstructure investigation and first-principle analysis of die-cast AZ91 alloy with calcium addition

In order to get improved mechanical properties of die-cast AZ91 alloy under elevated temperatures, Ca element was added as a cost-effective alloying constituent. It appeared that minor Ca addition less than 0.5 wt% would result in no apparent change in microstructure, but the tensile strength at elevated temperatures was improved considerably. When increasing Ca addition to more than 1.0 wt%, Al₂Ca phase will precipitate during solidification, no Mg₂Ca phase was discovered. Homogeneous microstructure and high temperature stability in tensile strength of die-cast AZ91 alloy with Ca addition was mainly attributed to the precipitation of Al₂Ca phase, which considerably refined the bulky β-Mg₁₇Al₁₂ phase distributed originally at the grain boundaries of die-cast AZ91 alloy with no Ca addition. The priority of Al₂Ca phase compared to Mg₂Ca phase in precipitation sequence was verified by first-principle calculation of their cohesive energy and formation enthalpy, and can also be associated with more bounding electrons between Al and Ca atoms.     

Optimizing mechanical and magnetic properties of AlCoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy via FCC to BCC phase transformation

FCC,BCC and B2 phases,the most common phases in high-entropy alloys(HEAs),are widely investigated to tailor their mechanical and magnetic performances.The detailed investigation of FCC to BCC/B2 phase transformation of AlCoCrFeNi HEA in this paper reveals its evolution and structure-properties relations in terms of both temperature and holding duration.With increasing heat treatment temperature and duration,such transition will progress simultaneously at both the dendric core(DC)region and inter-dendric(ID)region and the volume of phase transformation from FCC to BCC phases is greater than FCC to B2 phases,resulting in increased yield strength and saturation magnetization.The obvious phase transition of the AlCoCrFeNi HEA at 1200℃can enhance its yield strength and saturation magnetization as a sacrifice of its fracture strain.However,an excellent combination of mechanical-magnetic properties was achieved when heat-treated at 1100℃for 50 h by optimizing both the transformation and the size of B2 phases.Our present study could pave ways to design the HEAs or other alloys with an optimum combination of mechanical and magnetic properties for application-oriented viewpoints.     

Microstructure and residual stress distribution of similar and dissimilar electron beam welds – Maraging steel to medium alloy medium carbon steel

The influence of parent metal heat treatment condition on the residual stress distribution in dissimilar metal welds of maraging steel to quenched and tempered medium alloy medium carbon steel has been investigated. It has been observed that the residual stress distribution would be more compressive if the maraging steel is in soft condition. This is attributed to stress absorbing nature of highly yielding soft maraging steel.     

Effect of Zn addition on two-step aging behaviour of Al–Mg–Si–Cu alloy

This study investigates the effect of Zn addition two-step behaviour in an Al–Mg–Si–Cu alloy. During pre-aging at 100°C for 3?h, the Zn can partition into clusters because of the strong Zn–Mg interaction, prompting the formation of clusters. During subsequent artificial aging at 180°C for up to 240?min (peak hardness condition), the Zn does not significantly partition into clusters or precipitates, and the majority of Zn remains in the Al matrix. However, the presence of Zn in the matrix stimulates the transformation from clusters to GP zones to β′′ phases. The enhanced formation of GP zones and β′′ phases correlates well with the remarkable age-hardening response.
