Tantalum carbide (TaC) gradient composites were fabricated via in-situ fabrication method from the tantalum plate and gray cast iron. The morphology, phase constituents, micro-hardness, and relative abrasion resistance of the composites were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), micro-hardness tester and abrasive wear testing machine. The surface layer, which was ~160μm thick, was dense ceramic layer composed by ~90% submicron TaC particulates. The highest micro-hardness value of the dense ceramic layer was 13.84 GPa. In the sub-layer, the gradient distribution of TaC particulates reflected in the volume fraction decreased from 90% to 0%. While the micro-hardness value decreased from 10.81 GPa to 4.10 GPa. The metallurgical combination of the interface between the composites and matrix was perfect. The wear resistance of TaC reinforced iron matrix surface gradient composites increased significantly.

Under the sodium aluminates’ system, microarc oxidation treatment was conducted on the superhard aluminum alloy 7A04 for different times. The microstructure of microarc oxidation ceramic layer was investigated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The influences of different oxidation times on the adhesion strength of ceramic layer and substrate, the morphology of surface and cross-section, the phase composition and the electrochemical properties were studied. The results indicated that the connection of the coating and substrate appears to be metallurgical bonding and dense ceramic layer, and the surface is in a “volcanic vent” morphology, which is composed of [Formula: see text]-Al2O3 and little [Formula: see text]-Al2O3. The corrosion resistance of ceramic layer is improved significantly in contrast with that of the substrate.
