It is found that rare earth addition improves high temperature oxidation resistance of the coatings. The oxidation tests at 800℃, 100 h and 1000℃, 50 h show that the coating with addition of 0. 1 % RE has the best properties. The morphology of oxide scale and element distribution of coating section were analysed by SEM, EPMA and XRD. It is indicated that mischmetal addition improves the adhesion between oxide scale and coating substrate, and spalling resistance of the scale is also improved with the addition of RE. Additionally, RE controls the degeneracy speed of Al-content in the coatings and inhibits the growth of Fe-Al intermetallic compound. For this reason, higher Al-content is kept in all the coatings with RE addition.展开更多

The results showed that the coating surface easily formed small grains of zinc spangle structures and that the salt spray con＇osion resistance of the coating decreased when Pb content was greater than 0.01%. The microstructure and energy dispersive spectrum analysis of surface and cross-sectional areas was performed by scanning electron microscopy. Pb content present in the coating was analyzed by glow discharge spectrum. The results showed that the distribution of Pb in the coating was not uniform. The Pb content was segregated on the surface and at the cross-section of the Zn-A1-MgZn2 ternary eutectic structure,especially,on the surface of the Zn-A1-MgZn2 ternary eutectic structure.展开更多

However, there are some problems in the manufacring processes of hot-dip copper-coated aluminum wires, such as the difficulties in controlling coating process. In this work, the hot-dip copper-coating method of aluminum wires was investigated for producing copper-coated aluminum wire composites. The interface microstructure between the aluminum wire and the copper coating layer was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and energy-dispersive X-ray spec- trometry （EDS）. Five different fluxing agents were tested. Experimental results show that appropriate conditions for the hot-dip process are determined as the liquid copper temperature of 1085℃ and the treatment time less than 1 s. A success in hot-dip copper-coated aluminum wires is achieved by hot-dipping a low-melting-point metal into a high-melting-point metal liquid, which is significant for the further devel- opment and application of copper-coated aluminum wire composites.展开更多

The major drawback of this technique is the pollution resulted from lead vapors which cause much harm to the labors in the unit. The present work investigates an eco-friendly plating technique to replace the currently used technology. Electroless plating of copper samples with lead or Lead (98%)-Tin alloy is carried out from a plating bath contained lead salt, tin salt, reducing agent and stabilizing agent. The parameters affecting the coating quality such as the plating time, temperature and bath composition were optimized. The chemical analysis and coating morphology of the formed coatings are examined by XRD, SEM and EDS to reach the best bath composition as well as the best conditions to coat copper with lead or lead-tin electrolessly. The electrochemical properties of copper and copper coated samples are also examined using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.展开更多
