Abstract Based on COMSOL simulation software, the planar Gaussian heat source model was used to simulate and analyze the surface reinforced nickel-based coating on H13 steel, and the optimal process parameters were obtained. Secondly, TiC reinforced nickel base coating was prepared in situ on H13 steel surface by laser cladding technology. The morphology, phase composition, microhardness and friction and wear properties of matrix, single coating and gradient coating were compared by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometer, microhardness tester and universal friction and wear machine. Finally, the bionic gradient TiC reinforced nickel base coating was prepared on… More >

Abstract The Ho-Bi-Te ternary system was studied by DTA, X-ray diffraction, and MSA, as well as by measuring microhardness and determining density, congruent triangulation scheme and projection of the liquidus surface, types and coordinates of mono- and invariant equilibria. It is established that this system is triangulated into five pseudo-ternary systems. It was discovered that an incongruently melting ternary compound containing HoBiTe₃ is formed in the Ho-Bi-Te ternary system. X-ray phase analysis established that the HoBiTe₃ compound crystallises in a tetragonal system with lattice parameters: a = 19.99, с = 13.82 Å, Z = 3. Studying the More >

Abstract The presented study aims to reveal the effect of liquid temperature on cavitation-induced erosion of an Al-Mg alloy. An experimental work was conducted using a submerged cavitating waterjet to impact the specimen surface. For a certain cavitation number and a given standoff distance, different liquid temperatures were considered. Accordingly, a comprehensive comparison was implemented by inspecting the mass loss and surface morphology of the tested specimens. The results show that the cumulative mass loss increases continuously with the liquid temperature. A cavitation zone with an irregular profile becomes evident as the cavitation treatment proceeds.

Abstract A study of experimental data reveals that the bulk modulus of chalcogenides and pnictides based chalcopyrites (A^II B^IVC₂ ^V and A^I B^III C₂ ^VI ) can be explained by a simple scaling rule that rely only on the crystal ionicity, ionic charge product, and the melting temperature. PVV theory of crystal ionicity, temperature dependence of elasticity and product of ionic charge theory are taken into account for the study. Based on this result, a simple microhardnessbulk modulus relation is applied to evaluate the microhardness of the complex compounds; which correspond well with the experimental data and other published results.
