Microwave sintering effects on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-51at%Ni shape memory alloys

Ti-51at%Ni shape memory alloys (SMAs) were successfully produced via a powder metallurgy and microwave sintering technique. The influence of sintering parameters on porosity reduction, microstructure, phase transformation temperatures, and mechanical properties were investigated by optical microscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), compression tests, and microhardness tests. Varying the microwave temperature and holding time was found to strongly affect the density of porosity, presence of precipitates, transformation temperatures, and mechanical properties. The lowest density and smallest pore size were observed in the Ti-51at%Ni samples sintered at 900℃ for 5 min or at 900℃ for 30 min. The predominant martensite phases of β2 and β19' were observed in the microstructure of Ti-51at%Ni, and their existence varied in accordance with the sintering temperature and the holding time. In the DSC thermograms, multi-transformation peaks were observed during heating, whereas a single peak was observed during cooling; these peaks correspond to the presence of the β2, R, and β19' phases. The maximum strength and strain among the Ti-51at%Ni SMAs were 1376 MPa and 29%, respectively, for the sample sintered at 900℃ for 30 min because of this sample's minimal porosity.     

Electroplating of Ni/Co–pumice multilayer nanocomposite coatings: Effect of current density on crystal texture transformations and corrosion behavior

The present paper aims to investigate the influence of the current density in the electroplating process on the microstructure, crystal texture transformations, and corrosion behavior of Ni/Co-pumice multilayer nanocomposite coatings. The Ni/Co-pumice composite coatings were prepared by deposition of Ni, followed by the simultaneous deposition of pumice nanoparticles (NPs) in a Co matrix via an electroplating process at various current densities. Afterward, the morphology, size, topography, and crystal texture of the obtained samples were investigated. Furthermore, electrochemical methods were used to investigate the corrosion behavior of the produced coatings in a solution of 3.5wt% NaCl. The results indicated that increasing the plating current density changed the mechanism of coating growth from the cell state to the column state, increased the coating thickness, roughness, and texture coefficient (TC) of the Co (203) plane, and reduced the amount of pumice NPs incorporated into the Ni/Co-pumice composite. The electrochemical results also indicated that increasing the current density enhanced the corrosion resistance of the Ni/Co-pumice composite.

复压复烧对预合金钢粉烧结材料性能的影响

通过在预合金钢粉中加入C等元素,采用模压-烧结和复压复烧2种方法制备粉末冶金低合金钢,并对其密度、显微组织、力学性能和断口形貌进行分析。研究结果表明:对于添加质量分数为0.8%C的合金粉末,用普通压制-烧结法制备的样品密度最高为7.15 g/cm3,抗拉强度为406 MPa;而用复压复烧法制得的样品密度可达7.53 g/cm3,抗拉强度为611 MPa,伸长率也有很大提升;复压复烧法制得的样品孔隙较少且圆滑平直化,断口分布有大量的韧窝,因此,合金的强度和塑性均较高。     

Fe3O4/纳米级Fe0去除水中Cr(VI)的研究

低m(Cr)/m(Fe)铬铁矿除铁工艺的实验研究

以南非铬铁矿为对象,在热力学分析的基础上,采用碳热还原法开展了低m(Cr)/m(Fe)铬铁矿除铁工艺的实验研究.结果表明:实验中铬铁矿选择性除铁的适宜温度为1 100℃左右,符合热力学计算结果.低于此温度时还原出的富铁相与基体分离不彻底,难以结瘤析出;高于此温度时尖晶石相中的铬元素还原严重,影响铬的回收率.在1 100℃还原0.5 h并经酸浸处理后,铬铁矿可由化工级提升至冶金级,在相同温度下还原2 h后,m(Cr)/m(Fe)可由1.7提高至5.8,为实现低m(Cr)/m(Fe)铬铁矿的高效利用提供了新思路.
