Preparation of Electro-deposited Ni-Mo-Al Coating and Its Properties
Ni-Mo-Al coatings were prepared on Ni alloy by electrodeposition method. The effects of current density, frequency, duty cycle and electrodeposition time on mass percentages of Al of Ni-Mo-Al coatings were researched, respectively. The properties of wear weight loss and friction coefficients were investigated respectively. Ni-Mo-Al coatings were characterized with inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), energy-dispersive analyses of X-ray (EDAX), scanning electron microcopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques, respectively. When electro-deposition parameters: current density 18.5 A/dm 2, frequency 5000 Hz, duty cycle 0.5 and electrodeposition time 20 min, mass percentages of Al of Ni-Mo-Al coating is as high as 2.04%. Ni-Mo-Al coatings show higher wear weight loss and lower friction coefficient compared with those of Ni-Mo coatings. The wear weight loss of Ni-Mo-Al coating is 1.27 times higher than that of the Ni-Mo coating. The friction coefficient of Ni-Mo and Ni-Mo-Al coatings are 0.816 and 0.540 respectively. The Ni-Mo and Ni-Mo-Al coatings have similar nodular microstructure. The nodules of Ni-Mo-Al coating are smaller than those of the Ni-Mo coating. The parts of nickel are replaced by Mo and Al respectively in the Ni lattice.
Preparation of electrodeposited Mo-Ni coating and its spectral properties.
Mo-Ni coatings were prepared on Ni alloy by electrodeposition method. The properties of microhardness, wear weight loss and friction coefficients, and thermal expansion of the coatings were investigated, respectively. Mo-Ni coatings were characterized with inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), energy-dispersive analyses of X-ray (EDAX), scanning electron microcopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques, respectively. Mo-Ni coating shows higher microhardness, lower wear weight loss and friction coefficient compared with those of Ni alloy. The microhardness of Mo-Ni coating is as high as 518 HV, which is 72.67% higher than that of the Ni alloy (300 HV). The wear weight losses of Mo-Ni coating is 1.94 times lower than that of Ni alloy. The friction coefficient of Ni alloy and Mo-Ni coating are 0.640 and 0.559 respectively. The physical thermal expansion curve of Ni alloy has two the peaks in the ranges of 100-120 and 570-640 degrees C respectively; and that of Ni alloy+Mo-Ni coating has one the peaks in the ranges of 570-640 degrees C. The peak of the physical thermal expansion curve of Ni alloy+Mo-Ni coating in the ranges of 570-640 degrees C is much smaller than that of the Ni alloy. Because the part of nickel was replaced by molybdenum in the Ni lattice, molybdenum decreases the lattices transformation of nickel (bcc --> fcc). The reason for the formation of the small peak of the physical thermal expansion curve of Ni alloy+Mo-Ni coating in the ranges of 595-625 degrees C is the changes of MoNi4 and MoNi from the semi-crystalline structure to the crystalline structure respectively.
Microstructure and oxidation behavior of NiCoCrAl/YSZ microlaminates produced by EB-PVD
Abstract Two NiCoCrAl/ZrO2–Y2O3 microlaminates (A and B) were fabricated by electron beam physical vapor deposition, which were different in layer number and metal-layer thickness. The layer number was 20 and 26, respectively. And the metal-layer thickness was 35 and 14 μm, respectively. The microstructure and isothermal oxidation behavior were investigated. During the exposure in air at 1000 °C for 100 h, the t to m phase transformation occurred in the ceramic layers, and oxide scales formed at the surfaces of not only the outer metal-layers but also the internal metal-layers for the microlaminates. The oxidation rate of microlaminate B was greater than that of microlaminate A. Their overall mass gains were significantly dependent on the number and thickness of the metal-layers. The oxidation products were also influenced by metal-layer thickness. Oxide scales of the 35 μm thick metal-layer microlaminate (A) consisted mainly of α-Al2O3 and θ-Al2O3, while the oxidation products of the 14 μm thick metal-layer microlaminate (B) were the mixture of α-Al2O3, θ-Al2O3 and Cr2O3. It was also found that the growth of the oxide scale adjacent to the top YSZ layer was controlled by the oxygen diffusion, and that the growth of the oxide scale adjacent to the internal YSZ layer was controlled by the metal ionic diffusion.
