Al2O3 aerogels are used as high-temperature insulation materials, especially in the temperature range above 1000 degrees C, due to their excellent high-temperature resistance. However, they present notable drawbacks, such as hydrophilicity, which leads to easy water vapor absorption, and high brittleness. To address these issues, this work first synthesizes hydrocarbon chain polymer polyethyltrimethoxy-silane (PVTMS) from vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS). Then Al2O3-PVSQ aluminum-based aerogels are prepared by in situ co-polymerization using PVTMS and Al(NO3)3 & sdot;9H2O as precursors. The system introduces polyethylene chains into the Al2O3 backbone and realizes the transition from hydrophilicity to hydrophobicity by adjusting the content of organic components, with a contact angle of up to 136.8 degrees. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of Al2O3-PVSQ aerogels are improved due to the participation of organic components in forming the network, with the compressive modulus reaching a maximum of 3.89 MPa when n(PVTMS/Al) = 1. Otherwise, when n(PVTMS/Al) = 1, the thermal conductivity of Al2O3-PVSQ1 drops to as low as 0.025 W/(m & sdot;K).
This work aimed to explore the effect of cBN (cubic boron nitride) content on the microstructures and wear-corrosion resistance of the CoCrFeNiTi0.8-xcBN (x = 0, 2, 4, 6 wt.
In situ-grown Mg-Al layered double hydroxide(LDH)films were obtained on an anodized AZ31 substrate,with the immersion of sample in different concentrations of Al3+solution.The structure,composition and morphology of LDH films were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD),Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)and scanning electronic microscopy(SEM),and the corrosion behavior of LDH films was further studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS).The influence of Al3+concentration on the growth behavior of LDH was also discussed.The results indicated that the nest-like structure of MgAl-LDH film was composed of interconnected MgAl-LDH nanosheets.Besides,the LDH obtained in 0.032 mol·L-1 Al3+solution,possessing dense laminated structure,could effectively seal the porous surface of anodic oxide film.EIS results revealed that the samples coated with LDH films showed a higher electrochemical impedance,and thus,the corrosion resistance of samples coated with LDH films was signally improved compared with the anodized alloy.
Thermal barrier and anti-ablation coatings play essential roles in protecting jet nozzles, gas turbine engines and other machines from high temperatures. In this work, a novel curved structure of Mo/MSZ alternate multilayer was designed and fabricated by air plasma spraying. Two steps of the hot isostatic pressing were applied to improve the mechanical strength and interlayer bonding. The alternate structure enabled thick MSZ (Magnesium oxide stabilized Zirconia) layers and show an excellent thermal insulation ability under high-temperature ablation (4.3 MW/m2). Due to the curved surface, the thermal and residual stress is larger at the outer layer and edge, leading to cracks at the most out layer during the ablation. Moreover, during the ablation, the surface suffered steps in the order of hot flush damaging, MSZ and Mo melting, mixing, and Mo oxidizing. This work provided design, reinforcing method and ablation behavior analysis of alternate multilayer of TBC, supporting a solution to increase the performance of thermal insulation and anti-ablation.
Hard films play essential roles in the wear protection of metal moving components. In this study, the TiCN/Cr3C2- NiCr and TiCN/WC-CoCr duplex coatings were designed and fabricated by utilizing the high-velocity oxygen fuel and the high-temperature chemical vapor deposition processes. The effects of two cermet interlayers on the microstructure, mechanical characteristics, stress distribution, and sliding wear behavior of the top TiCN films were thoroughly explored. Results evidenced that the TiCN/WC-CoCr duplex coating had a smoother surface than the TiCN/Cr3C2-NiCr duplex coating. The load-bearing capacity and fracture toughness of TiCN/WC-CoCr duplex coating were superior to TiCN/Cr3C2-NiCr duplex coating due to WC-CoCr coating possessing higher hardness, elastic modulus and high-temperature stability. The TiCN/WC-CoCr duplex coating also exhibited lower Von Mises stress compared to TiCN/Cr3C2-NiCr duplex coating, and the stress concentration zone was further away from the interface between the TiCN film and the cermet interlayer. The wear resistance of TiCN/ WC-CoCr duplex coating was approximately 2 and 1.5 times that of the single TiCN film and TiCN/Cr3C2-NiCr duplex coating under 20 N load. Moreover, the wear mechanisms of the duplex coatings involved abrasive wear, adhesive wear and oxidative wear. This work significantly enhanced the wear resistance of TiCN films, which will broaden the application of TiCN film in non-load-bearing metal moving components.

某船用湿式多片摩擦离合器内置于齿轮箱,受结构限制,内部花键传动采用径向供油方式,在长时间的使用中,会造成供油环密封老化和磨损,使进入离合器内部润滑减少,造成花键损坏,对航行安全产生一定的影响,因此研究某船用摩擦离合器内部润滑油对花键长期运行磨损失效机理,进一步提高离合器长期运行可靠性.采用有限元仿真分析离合器内部油路在不同泄漏量下的流场、出口流量,通过离合器流量运转试验进行离合器花键失效的定性验证.通过离合器内部供油环密封间隙分别在0、0.3、0.5、0.7 mm时的出口流量和流场仿真可知,其出口润滑流量分别损失为3.67%、20.26%、35.57%、39.36%,导致出口流量减少1/3,无法满足离合器润滑量的需要,离合器无法得到及时冷却,使离合器花键的寿命大幅度降低;通过离合器流量运转试验,尤其是在极端缺油试验中,花键运行6h就已经开始出现变色情况.某船摩擦离合器花键失效机理在于离合器长时间运行后,供油环密封长期磨损造成离合器内部供油泄漏,引起离合器花键供油不足,蠕动花键产生的热量无法快速被带走,使花键寿命快速下降.研究成果可为离合器长寿命周期可靠性研究提供参考.
In order to explore the corrosion damage behavior of plasma-sprayed NiCoCrAlY/magnesia-stabilized zirconia (18~22 wt.% MgO-ZrO2, MSZ) thermal barrier and anti-ablation coatings in a salt spray environment, a series of neutral salt spray (NSS) tests for 96 h (N-2), 192 h (N-4) and 288 h (N-6) were carried out on the coatings. The microstructures, composition distributions, potentiodynamic polarization curves, bonding strengths and anti-ablation properties of the coatings before and after the NSS tests were characterized. The results show that, with the increase in salt spray time, the expansion and overflow of corrosion products (FexOy) led to more defects forming inside the coating; the porosity of the top coat (TC) of N-6 increased to 15.2% in comparison to that of the blank control sample (N-0), which was 8.5%. According to the potentiodynamic polarization curves, accelerated corrosion occurred in the coating samples after the salt spray time reached 192 h, and the corrosion current density rapidly surged from 2.2 × 10−8 A·cm−2 (N-4) to 2.2 × 10−5 A·cm−2 (N-6). Similar degradation tends could be found in the bonding strengths and mass ablation rates of the coatings due to the accumulation of loose corrosion products on the substrate, which affected the bonding states of the coatings and promoted their spalling under an oxyacetylene flame (OAF). As a result, the maximum service life of the NiCoCrAlY/MSZ coatings in the neutral salt spray environment was about 192 h. This work is instructive for studying the environmental adaptability of metal/ceramic double-layer coatings.

A doublely-doped layered double hydroxide (LDH) film was produced on an anodized magnesium alloy AZ31. The Ce-doped Mg-Al LDH film was prepared by in-situ hydrothermal treatment method, and the intercalation of vanadate was realized by ion-exchange reaction. The structure, morphology and composition of as-prepared LDH film were investigated by X-ray diffractometer, field-emission scanning electronic microscope and energy dispersive spectrometry. Results indicated that a uniform and compact LDH film was formed and the intercalation of Ce3+ and vanadate would change the crystal structure of LDHs. The results of the potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectra, hydrogen evolution and corrosion weight loss tests showed the Ce3+ and vanadate anions significantly improve the impedance of LDH film, and the active double-doped LDH film could effectively protect the magnesium substrate from corrosion.
Highly oriented Mg-Al layered double hydroxide (LDHs) films were deposited on magnesium alloy AZ31 with different deformation processes by an easy in-situ growth method. The characteristics of the films were investigated by optical microscopy (OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electrochemical, immersion and hydrogen evolution tests. The corrosion protection performance ranked the LDHs films as the increasing series: CS-LDHs (as-cast sample with LDHs) < AE-LDHs (asymmetric extrusion sample with LDHs) < SE-LDHs (symmetric extrusion sample with LDHs) < RS-LDHs (rolled sample with LDHs). A thicker and more compact LDH conversion coating was formed on the RS sample, and had the best corrosion protection performance.
A layer of pure aluminum coating was prepared on AZ80 magnesium alloy by cold spray, and then a pure aluminum/aluminum oxide composite coating was successfully fabricated on the surface of pure aluminum coating by micro-arc oxidation. The surface and cross-section morphology, composition and phase structure of the coatings were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy spectrometer (EDS) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The corrosion behavior of the coatings immersed in 3.5%NaCl(mass fraction) solution for different time (30 min and 7 days) was investigated using potentiodynamic polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results show that after 30 minutes of immersion, the corrosion current densities of the pure aluminum coating and the pure aluminum/aluminum oxide composite coating are 3.7×10-6 A·cm-2 and 8.0×10-7 A· cm-2, respectively; after 7 days of immersion, the corrosion current densities are 9.0×10-6 A·cm-2 and 1.8×10-6 A·cm-2, respectively. Both the pure aluminum/aluminum oxide composite coating and the cold sprayed aluminum coating can effectively delay the corrosion of the magnesium alloy substrate. Among them, the corrosion resistance of the micro-arc oxidation composite coating is nearly 5 times of the cold sprayed pure aluminum coating. The further improvement in corrosion resistance is attributed to the excellent physical barrier effect of the micro-arc oxidation ceramic layer.
A thick composite anodic oxide film was fabricated in an environmentally friendly malic acid electrolyte containing PolyTetraFluoroEthylene (PTFE) nanoparticles on Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al alloys. The influence of pulse frequency on the morphology, microstructure and composition of composite anodic oxide films containing PTFE nanoparticles was investigated using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) equipped with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Raman spectroscopy. The tribological properties in terms of the friction coefficient, wear loss and morphology of worn surfaces were measured by ball-on-disc tests. The electrochemical property was evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization. The results indicated that the titanium dioxide of composite anodic oxide films transformed from anatase to rutile with the change of pulse frequency, which could result from the electrochemical dynamic equilibrium. The combination of PTFE nanoparticles and malic acid electrolyte molecules can influence the energy fluctuation of electrochemical equilibrium and formation of composite anodic oxide films. Moreover, composite anodic oxide films fabricated under the condition of 1.0–2.0 Hz exhibited the best wear resistance and corrosion property. The schematic diagram of the film formation and PTFE nanoparticles spreading process under different frequencies was elucidated.
In this study, malleable and heavy Ta particles were introduced into soft Al powders to prepare Al-Ta composite coatings through a low-pressure cold-spray process; for comparison, Al-A2O3 composite coatings were also deposited. The surface and cross-sectional morphologies, deposition efficiency, microstructure, hardness and composition of the coatings were investigated. The results demonstrated that the Al-Ta coatings had roughness values that were almost twice as large as those of the Al-Al2O3 coatings for the same volumetric fraction of reinforcement particles used in the feedstock. Ta particles were more effective in improving the deposition efficiency and densification than were Al2O3 particles. The formation mechanism of the Al-Ta coatings was mainly attributed to the malleable and heavy nature of Ta particles, which allowed them to bond with the formed coating and impact the coating strongly through the peening effect.
The effects of three pyridine derivative additives, 4-hydroxypyridine, 4-picolinic acid, and 4-cyanopyridine, on Al-Mn coatings were investigated in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride-AlCl3-MnCl2 (EMIC-AlCl3-MnCl2) ionic liquids. The smooth mirror-like bright Al-Mn coatings were obtained only in the EMIC-AlCl3-MnCl2 ionic liquids containing 4-cyanopyridine, while the matte Al-Mn coatings were electrodeposited from EMIC-AlCl3-MnCl2 without additives or containing either 4-hydroxypyridine or 4-picolinic acid. The scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction showed that the bright Al-Mn coatings consisted of nanocrystals and had a strong (200) preferential orientation, while the particle size of matte Al-Mn coatings were within the micron range. The brightening mechanism of 4-cyanopyridine is due to it being adsorbed onto the cathode to produce the combined effect of (1) generating an overpotential to promote Al-Mn nucleation; (2) inhibiting the growth of the deposited nuclei and enabling them grow preferentially, making the coating composed of nanocrystals and with a smooth surface. The brightening effect of 4-cyanopyridine on the Al-Mn coatings was far better than that of the 4-hydroxypyridine and the 4-picolinic acid. In addition, the bright Al-Mn coating was prepared in a bath with 6 mmol·L−1 4-cyanopyridine and displayed superior corrosion resistance relative to the matte coatings, which could be attributed to its unique nanocrystalline structure that increased the number of grain boundaries and accelerated the formation of the protective layer of the corrosion products.
Mg-AlLDHs (layered double hydroxides) coatings were deposited on the surface of titanium alloy Ti10V2Fe3Al, accompanied by modification with ZrO2 and MoS2 nanoparticles through electrophoretic deposition. FE-SEM, XRD and EDS measurements were used to investigate the microstructure and composition of the composite coatings. Corrosion resistance was measured by potentiodynamic polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. The LDHs/MoS2 composite coating exhibited the best corrosion resistance. Ball on disc tests was implemented to obtain morphology, the friction coefficient and wear loss of the worn surfaces. The LDHs/ZrO2 composite coating exhibited the best wear resistance. A mechanism for enhancing the wear-resistance of the different nanoparticles-modified MgAl-LDHs coatings was proposed.
