橡胶表面粗糙度对DLC薄膜摩擦学性能的影响

目的 探究三元乙丙橡胶(EPDM)表面粗糙度对DLC薄膜和Cr/DLC的微观结构、附着力、摩擦学性能的影响,并阐明Cr中间层对橡胶表面DLC薄膜的作用。方法 使用砂纸打磨EPDM橡胶得到不同的表面粗糙度。采用非平衡磁控溅射技术在不同粗糙度的橡胶基体表面沉积无中间层的类金刚石碳基薄膜(DLC)及有Cr中间层的类金刚石碳基薄膜(Cr/DLC)。使用二维轮廓仪获得基体及薄膜的表面粗糙度,通过扫描电子显微镜以及拉曼光谱对薄膜的表面形貌和结构成分进行分析,并采用X切割试验和摩擦磨损试验分别评估DLC薄膜的附着力和摩擦学性能。结果 基体表面粗糙度对薄膜的微观结构没有显著影响,但却对薄膜附着力以及摩擦学性能有较大的影响。薄膜附着力随着基体粗糙度的增加呈现先增大后减小的趋势,当基体表面粗糙度为1 100 nm时,DLC薄膜具有最强的附着力和最佳的摩擦学性能。此外,Cr中间层的引入对提高薄膜附着力和承载能力起到了积极的作用。结论 适当增加基体表面粗糙度可以增强DLC薄膜的附着力,改善薄膜的摩擦学性能。Cr中间层可以提高薄膜的承载能力,从而提高薄膜的耐磨性。

铬掺杂碳基自润滑薄膜与铝合金的高温磨损机理

为了研究不同结构铬掺杂碳基薄膜在高温下与铝合金的磨损机理,采用非平衡磁控溅射在YT15刀具表面沉积Cr/CrC/DLC单周期和Cr/(CrC-DLC)_n多周期多层膜,在24、200和400℃下与A319和A390铝合金进行摩擦试验。采用扫描电子显微镜、原子力显微镜、纳米压痕仪、拉曼光谱仪、销盘磨损仪对薄膜的形貌结构、力学和摩擦学性能进行测试。研究表明:多周期多层膜结构打断薄膜柱状生长,提高膜基结合力。两种薄膜表面粗糙度和硬度分别为4.3 nm和5.4 nm、9.8 GPa和9.0 GPa。磨球表面转移层由硅、石墨以及剥落的薄膜碎片组成,连续的转移层降低摩擦因数;但随着温度升高,转移层的连续性被破坏,导致摩擦因数升高。在高温摩擦过程中,多周期多层膜磨损逐渐释放出DLC子膜层,通过DLC子膜层的石墨化转变来保持低摩擦因数,提高薄膜寿命。薄膜磨损由室温的磨料磨损转变为高温的粘着磨损和犁沟磨损,其中由于A390含有初晶硅使磨损以犁沟磨损为主。

不同过渡层对DLC薄膜力学性能和摩擦学性能的影响

薄膜与基体间的界面结合性能是决定薄膜性能发挥的关键要素。针对类金刚石薄膜(DLC)在硬质合金上结合力差的问题,采用线性阳极离子束复合磁控溅射技术在硬质合金YG8基体上设计制备了单层W过渡层、WC过渡层、双层W过渡层和三层W过渡层4种不同W过渡层的DLC薄膜,探讨了不同过渡层对DLC薄膜力学和摩擦学性能的影响。结果表明:不同过渡层结构的DLC薄膜结构致密,界面柱状生长随着层数增加及过渡层厚度的降低而打断,有利于改善薄膜的韧性。当为三层W过渡层时,DLC薄膜的断裂韧性达到最大值6.44 MPa·m1/2;与单层W过渡层相比,薄膜硬度有小幅下降,但薄膜内应力降低了55%,且膜/基匹配性更佳,结合强度高达85N,此时薄膜具有较低的摩擦因数和磨损率,表现出比较优异的抗磨减摩性能。

Influence of metal ions on the formation of artificial zinc rusts

The artificial rust particles were prepared from ZnCl₂ solutions dissolving Al(III), Fe(III), Fe(II), Ni(II), Co(II) and Mg(II) at different atomic ratios from 0 to 0.3 in metal/Zn. With increasing metal/Zn the crystal phases of the products turned following as ZnO → a mixture of ZnO and Zn₅(OH)₈Cl₂ · H₂O (ZHC) → ZHC. Al(III) most facilitated the formation of ZHC but Mg(II) and Fe(III) produced no ZHC. The morphology of the formed particles varied following as agglomerate → fine → rod → sheet → irregular with the increase of metal/Zn. The sheet and irregularly shaped particles were identified as ZHC and the other particles as ZnO.     

Effect of dislocation density on the low temperature aging behavior of an ultra low carbon bake hardening steel

Strain aging was studied in an ultra low carbon (ULC) steel with a total carbon content of 20 ppm (wt.%) in order to identify the process stages and mechanism of bake hardening in this type of steel. The effects of dislocation density, varied by means of uniaxial tensile prestraining (1–10%) on the aging kinetics were investigated within an aging temperature range of 50–170°C. The aging was evaluated by means of strength measurements and the determination of interstitial carbon content after aging using a piezoelectric composite oscillator operating at 40 kHz. The interaction between interstitial carbon and dislocations was examined through amplitude dependent internal friction measurements. The influence of dislocation density on the aging behavior have been discussed with reference to the kinetics and mechanism of the aging process.     

A corrosion study of the main constituent phases of AZ91 magnesium alloys

The different constituents of an AZ91 alloy (α,β, and MnAl phases) were synthesized and their corrosion resistance was studied by electrochemistry in ASTM D1384 water, pH 8.3. The pure phases were characterised through the corrosion potential, the polarisation resistance, and polarisation curves, then systematically coupled to assess the galvanic corrosion occurring in the AZ91 alloy. The aluminium content of the oxide film was obtained by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements. The corrosion rate of the α solid solution alloys depends closely on their Al content. Aluminium enhances the corrosion resistance of the α-phase through the formation of an Al enriched superficial layer. The β-phase is 150 mV nobler than the α-phase, but their corrosion rates are similar. The galvanic currents are low (below 20 μA cm⁻²) whatever the implemented couples and close to the corrosion current previously measured for the AZ91 alloys.     

Effect of solution heat treatment on galvanic coupling between intermetallics and matrix in AA7075-T6

Susceptibility to localised corrosion is strongly affected by heat treatments performed on Al-Zn-Cu-Mg alloys. In order to study how galvanic coupling between intermetallics and matrix is affected by solution heat treatment, AA7075-T6 and solution heat treated AA7075 have been characterised by means of scanning electron microscopy and scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy. Solution heat treatment strongly increased the Volta potential difference between the intermetallics and the surrounding matrix showing a strong increase in galvanic coupling. This is explained by Zn and Mg enrichment of the matrix caused by dissolution of strengthening particles during solution heat treatment.     

Characterizing corrosion behavior under atmospheric conditions using electrochemical techniques

AC and DC electrochemical experiments were performed as a function of humidity and contaminant concentration in an effort to identify the range of atmospheric environments where corrosion processes could be detected and possibly quantified. AC measurements exhibited two time constants at 25% relative humidity (RH), possibly indicating the ability to resolve both electrolyte resistance and interfacial impedance. Galvanic current measurements were sensitive to the presence of Cl_2(g) at 30% RH and electrochemical transients were detected at both 30% and 50% RH levels, also indicating sensitivity to interfacial processes. Higher humidity levels allowed better quantification due to decreasing electrolyte and interfacial impedances.

The morphology and surface composition of the oxide anode before and after electrolysis test were analysed. A comprehensive process of deactivation of the oxide anode was proposed based on the test results and analysis.     

Electrochemical behaviour of amorphous and nanoquasicrystalline Zr-Pd and Zr-Pt alloys in different environments

The corrosion behaviour of melt spun amorphous and nanoquasicrystalline Zr₇₀Pd₃₀ and Zr₈₀Pt₂₀ alloy ribbons has been investigated using potentiodynamic polarization study in NaCl, H₂SO₄ and NaOH solutions at different concentrations. The amorphous and nanoquasicrystalline alloys show better corrosion resistance than Zr in all the solutions studied. Both the alloys are susceptible to chloride attack and pitting has been observed. Complete passivation has been observed in H₂SO₄, while gradual break down of passivating layer occurs in NaOH. In general, nanoquasicrystalline state in both the alloys shows better corrosion resistance than amorphous state in all the solutions studied.

Corrosion behaviour of powder metallurgical and cast Al-Zn-Mg base alloys

The behaviour of Al-Zn-Mg base alloys produced by powder metallurgy and casting has been studied using potentiodynamic polarisation in 0.3% and 3% NaCl solutions. The influence of alloy production route on microstructure has been examined by scanning electron microscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectrometry. An improvement in performance of powder metallurgy (PM) materials, compared with the cast alloy, was evident in solutions of low chloride concentration; less striking differences were revealed in high chloride concentration. Both powder metallurgy and cast alloys show two main types of precipitates, which were identified as Zn-Mg and Zr-Sc base intermetallic phases. The microstructure of the PM alloys is refined compared with the cast material, which assists understanding of the corrosion performance. The corrosion process commences with dissolution of the Zn-Mg base phases, with the relatively coarse phases present in the cast alloy showing ready development of corrosion.
