Characteristics of Sintered Materials Obtained from Ferrite Nanopowders Synthesised with Different Methods
2018
Ferrite materials, especially those containing nickel and cobalt, are popular due to their unique mechanical and magnetic properties. Single phase NiFe2O4 and CoFe2O4 nanopowders obtained by different methods were used for sintering studies. Chemical sol-gel self-propagating combustion method, co-precipitation technology combined with hydrothermal synthesis or spray-drying method, and high frequency plasma chemical synthesis have been used to synthesize ferrite nanopowders. Relatively dense (95-99%) materials with high saturation magnetization (MS = 80-84 emu/g for CoFe2O4 and MS = 46-48 emu/g for NiFe2O4) were obtained at 1100-1200 °C temperatures.
Wear and corrosion resistant performance of thermal-sprayed Fe-based amorphous coatings: A review
2019
Abstract Thermal sprayed Fe-based amorphous coatings exhibit excellent wear and corrosion resistance, and thus have been widely utilized for enhancing the performance of material surfaces. In this paper, important research progresses achieved in regards to deposition technologies and properties of thermal sprayed Fe-based amorphous coatings are reviewed. In particular, the dependence of wear and corrosion resistance of the coatings on processing parameters, e.g., kinetic energy, particle size, gas flow rate, and heat treatment temperature are summarized. Moreover, the utilization of reinforced phases and alloy elements for enhancing the wear and corrosion resistance of the coatings are pres…
Microstructure and electric properties of low-pressure plasma sprayed β-FeSi 2 based coatings
2017
Abstract Thermoelectric material β-FeSi 2 based coating was fabricated by the technique low-pressure plasma spray (LPPS) on the Al 2 O 3 substrate from different alloy powders. During the process LPPS, the phase transformation had occurred through the peritectoid, eutectoid reaction and their inverse reaction. The grain size of the as-sprayed β-FeSi 2 doped Co coatings was reduced comparing with the original feedstock powders, which implied the thermal conductivity could effectively decreased by the LPPS process. The room temperature electrical conductivity showed metal and semiconductor properties on the as-sprayed and annealed coatings. This method and the results could solve the problems…
Synthesis of FeAl Hetero-Nanostructured Bulk Parts via Spark Plasma Sintering of Milled Powder
2006
AbstractSpark plasma sintering (SPS) has been used in order to introduce nanocrystalline grains within fully dense FeAl consolidated parts. Hetero-nanostructured parts, consisting of nano, ultrafine and micrometric grains, have been successfully processed when milled - Y2O3 reinforced - FeAl powder was used. The large temperature differences that are spontaneously generated during the SPS process as well as the use of milled powder account for the formation of such interesting structures. The grain size distribution - that is suggested to be very potent to improve both strength and ductility - could be significantly modified by a proper selection of sintering temperature and holding time.
Growth of WC–Cr–N and WC–Al–N coatings in a RF-magnetron sputtering process
2013
Tungsten carbide-based coatings have been used in a wide variety of industrial applications such as high speed cutting tools, extrusion dies, drills, aerospace industries, and more. A few reports on ternary and quaternary coatings of WC with other elements indicate good prospects for these material systems. The present study focuses on the formation of quaternary WCeCreN and WCeAleN coatings during the simultaneous reactive RF-magnetron sputtering of tungsten carbide and Al or Cr targets in an argon/nitrogen gas mixture. The resulting coatings, with thicknesses of 3.5 mme8.2 mm, were characterized by using several analytical techniques including X-ray diffraction, SEM/EDS, AFM, and X-ray ph…
Impact of rolling conditions on the hydriding of grade 2 titanium welded tubes
2020
In this article, we study the impact of rolling conditions on the texture of the commercially pure titanium grade 2. In a previous work, NEOTISS in collaboration with ICB laboratory, shown that the texture highly influences the precipitation of hydrides in Titanium. In order to create different textures, Titanium sheets grade 2 are cold rolled asymmetrically and symmetrically with or without lubricant. The inverse pole figures and direct pole figures obtained allow us to deduce that symmetrical cold rolling does not change the grains orientation but generates a rotation of grains along c-axis (normal to basal plan). However, asymmetrical cold rolling leads to the formation of a new crystall…
Investigation of mechanical and electrical properties of Li doped sodium niobate ceramic system
2016
ABSTRACTThe Na0.96Li0.04NbO3 ceramic solid solution was prepared by means of a two-stage hot-pressing technology. The X-ray diffraction analysis showed the formation of a single perovskite phase with an orthorhombic symmetry in the investigated composition. The microstructure and EDS measurements were performed. They confirmed the high purity and the expected qualitative composition. A good homogeneity of the microstructures and a small degree of porosity were observed. The elastic modulus (the Young's modulus E, shear modulus G, and Poisson's ratio ν) of Na0.96Li0.04NbO3 were determined with the use of an ultrasonic method. The electrical properties of Na0.96Li0.04NbO3 ceramics were invest…
Long-term moisture absorption and durability of FRP pultruded rebars
2021
Abstract Up to 15-years long moisture diffusion into carbon, glass, and aramid fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) rebars is studied. To eliminate uncertainties in identification of the radial and axial diffusivities, a successive methodology for determination of the diffusion coefficients is proposed. The concept of apparent diffusivity taking into account anisotropy and edge effects is extended to cylindrical samples. The ratio of the axial and radial diffusivities is the lowest for carbon (3) and the highest for glass (81) FRP rebars. Durability performance of the rebars is estimated by monitoring their interlaminar shear strength (ILSS). Long-term exposure of FRP rebars in a humid environmen…
