The results show that AA7003 is to a certain extent susceptible to SCC via anodic dissolution(AD) at open-circuit potential(OCP) and is highly susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement(HE) at high negative Ea in the solutions with p H levels of 4 and 11. The susceptibility increases with negative shift in the potential when Ea is less than-1000 m V vs. SCE. However, the susceptibility distinctly decreases because of the inhibition of AD when Ea is equal to-1000 m V vs. SCE. In addition, the SCC susceptibility of AA7003 in the acid chloride solution is higher than that in the alkaline solution at each potential. Moreover, the effect of hydrogen on SCC increases with increasing hydrogen ion concentration.展开更多

The IGC and electrochemical test results showed that the IGC resistance of AA7003 for peak aged(PA) temper is the lowest, with double peak aged(DPA) the moderate, and retrogression and re-aging(RRA) the highest among three tempers, which is attributed to the continuous feature of precipitation on grain boundary of PA temper and the interrupted feature of precipitation on grain boundary of DPA and RRA tempers, as well as the wide precipitation free zones(PFZ) of RRA temper. In addition, the SSRT results indicated that all three tempers AA7003 are susceptible to SCC in IGC solution, and the change tendency of SCC susceptibility(ISCC) of AA7003 for three tempers follows the order: ISCC(RRA)<ISCC(DPA)<ISCC(PA).展开更多

The experimental results show that there is main acicular ferrite in the base steel and welded zone, the microscopic structure of fusion zone is a blocked bainite, and the heat affected zone is composed of multilateral ferrite and pearlite. M-A unit of the welded zone is the main factor to strengthen the welded zone, composed of acicular ferrites. The percentage of cavities in the welded joint is less than that in the base steel, which is beneficial to increasing its mechanical performance and corrosion resistance. The fusion depth in the fusion zone and welded zone is 101.13 μm and 115.85 μm, respectively, and the distribution of chemical elements in the welded zone is uniform, no enrichment phenomena.展开更多

The results show that the phases of TiN, TiAlN, and TiAlSiN coatings are TiN, TiN+TiAlN, TiN+Si_3N_4+TiAlN, respectively, while the surface roughness Sa of TiN, TiAlN, and TiAlSiN coatings is 75.3, 98.9, and 42.1 nm, respectively, and the roughness depth Sk is 209, 389, and 54 nm, respectively, the sequence of average grain sizes is TiAlN>TiN>TiAlSiN. The surface bearing index Sbi of TiN, TiAlN, and TiAlSiN coatings is 0.884, 1.01, and 0.37, respectively, and the sequence of surface bearing capability is TiAlN>TiN>TiAlSiN.

Scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction studies revealed the presence of η-Zn, α-Al, Zn/Al eutectoid,(Si), Al/Si eutectic, and Zn/Al/Mg_2 Zn11 ternary eutectic on the top surface of these Mg-containing coatings. Especially, a small amount of MgZn2 phase appears in top surface of Zn-22.3 Al-1.1 Si-0.6 Mg coating. Five phases are found in the alloy layers, i e, Fe_2 Al_5, FeAl_3, τ_(5C), τ_(5H), and τ_1. The addition of 0.2% Mg can delay the emergence of FeAl_3 phase. When the Mg content is more than 0.2%, the outer layers of coating change from τ_(5C) to τ_(5H) phase. The growth of the inhibition layer is diffusion controlled for various Mg content baths. Mg improves the corrosion resistance of the Mg-containing coatings, and the Zn-22.3 Al-1.1 Si-0.6 Mg coating possesses the highest protective properties.展开更多

The effect of different current densities, i e, 5, 10, 15, and 20 A/dm^2 on the microstructure and corrosion behavior of coatings was comprehensively studied by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), stereoscopic microscopy, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS), respectively. It is found that the pore density decreases and the pore size increases with increasing current density. The XRD results show that the coatings are only composed of α-Al_2 O_3 and γ-Al_2 O_3. Potentiodynamic polarization test proves that the coating formed under 10 A/dm^2 possesses the best anticorrosion property. The long time EIS test shows that the coating under 10 A/dm^2 is able to protect the aluminum alloy substrate after long time of immersion in 0.59 M NaCl solution, which confirms the salt solution immersion test results in 2 M NaCl solution.展开更多

The microstructure, phase composition and element composition as well as surface profile of the PEO coatings were analyzed by means of scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS), and threedimensional(3 D) optical profilometry. The corrosion and wear properties were evaluated by electrochemical potentiodynamic polarization in 3.5 wt% Na Cl solution and ball-on-disc wear tests, respectively. The results showed that the anions of the additives effectively participated in the coating formation influencing its microstructural features, chemical composition, corrosion resistance and tribological behaviour. It was observed that the sample treated by PEO in the electrolyte solution containing K_2ZrF_6 as an additive showed better corrosion and abrasive resistance.展开更多

The microstructures, phases, residual stresses and retained austenite content of 1Cr5 Mo steel welding joint before and after LHT were analyzed with optical microscope and X-ray diffraction, respectively. The cracking morphologies and chemical compositions of corrosion products after salt spray corrosion were analyzed with field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM) and energy disperse spectroscopy(EDS), respectively, the polarization curves were measured on a PS-268 A type electrochemical workstation, and the mechanism of corrosion resistance by LHT was investigated as well. The results show that the passive film of original sample is destroyed owing to the corrosive media penetrating into the subsurface, resulting in the redox reaction. The content of residual austenite in the surface and the self-corrosion potential are increased by LHT, which is contributed to improving the capability of salt spray corrosion resistance.展开更多

First, 1,1,3,3-tetra- phenyl-1,3-disilacyclobutane(TPDC) films were deposited on 4 cm2 silicon substrates cut from c-Si wafers by conventional vacuum evaporation under a pressure of 4.0×10-3 Pa; then metal nanoparticles were deposited onto the TPDC films by pulsed laser ablation; finally the TPDC films with metal nanoparticles were heated in an electric furnace in an air atmosphere at 553 K for 10 min to induce ring-opening polymerization of TPDC. The results indicate that it is easy to synthesize metal/PDPh SM nanocomposite thin films by pulsed laser ablation. The morphologies and size of metal nanoparticles are closely related to the kinds of metal. Also, the polymerization efficiency depends on the kinds of metal nanoparticles deposited on the TPDC monomer films by pulsed laser ablation. In addition, The laser ablated metal nanoparticles penetrate into the TPDC monomer films during pulsed laser ablation while the DC sputtered metal nanoparticles just lay on the surface of TPDC films.展开更多

文摘Cerium fluoride(CeF_(3))semiconductor with upconversion property was constructed on graphite carbonitride(g-C_(3) N_(4))nanosheets by microwave hydrothermal method.The X-ray diffraction,transmission election microscopy,Fourier transform infrared,and X-ray photoelectron spectra techniques were used to characterize the CeF_(3)/g-C_(3)N_(4) nanocomposite.The study shows that CeF_(3) has upconversion property and can convert visible light(Vis)and near-infrared light(NIR)into ultraviolet light(UV).Mo reover,CeF3 and g-C_(3) N_(4) can form well-defined heterojunction and promote the effective separation of photogenerated electrons and holes.The synergistic effect of the CeF_(3)/g-C_(3)N_(4) nanocomposite was evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of dibenzothiophene(DBT).The optimum photocatalyst of CeF_(3)/g-C_(3)N_(4)(40 wt%)composites exhibit the highest photocatalytic desulfurization rate of the model oil under visible light radiation.
