A 4kW Yb: YAG solid-state disc laser, with a four-way co-axial cladding head with powder feeding technique was employed to fabricate single-layer clads of Ni-based hardfacing alloy (Colmonoy-5) on medium carbon steel (ASME SA105) substrate by varying the laser processing parameters namely, beam power level (designated as low: 1200 W, medium: 1400 W, and high: 1600 W) and scanning speed (designated as low: 300 mm/min, medium: 400 mm/min, and high: 500mm/min). The laser clads were evaluated for their microstructural characteristics, microhardness, and slurry erosive wear performance with an aim to understand the effect of process parametric variations on their properties. Microstructural analyses of the clads were carried out using an optical microscope and a field-emission scanning electron microscope with attached energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer supplemented by their Vickers microhardness testing and X-ray diffraction examination. The variation in laser processing parameters exerted a strong influence on the microstructural features of the clads in terms of γ-Ni dendrite size as well as morphology and distribution of various complex precipitates such as Cr-carbides and borides with relatively uniform distribution observed for the clads corresponding to low laser power and high scanning speed. The variation in laser power had relatively a greater influence on microhardness than the scanning speed variation. Micro-cutting, plastic deformation, crater formation besides ploughing away of the softer matrix were the typical fracture features associated with slurry eroded clads when examined under field-emission scanning electron microscope. Results of the slurry erosive wear tests showed that the clads pertaining to low laser power and high scanning speed exhibited superior wear resistance as compared to their counterparts.

The laser alloy cladding technology is used to treat the surface of 40Cr, and the two alloy powders are used separately. The process parameters are different, such as laser power, feed rate and scanning speed etc. The microstructure and hardness of cladding layers are analyzed by using scanning electron microscope and hardness tester. Generally, the surface quality is improved apparently. Under the similar laser power and powder quantity, the thickness of Ni60 cladding layer is much larger than Fe60. The hardness of Ni60 layer and Fe60 layer are all higher than substrate. There are more cracks in Ni60 layer than in Fe60 layer. The parameters of sample No.1 is optimal.

Reconstructive tomography is a new technique in diagnostic radiology for imaging cross-sectional planes of the human body /1/. A collimated beam of X-rays is scanned through a thin slice of the body and the transmitted intensity is recorded by a detector giving a linear shadow graph or projection (see fig. 1). Many of these projections at different angles are used to reconstruct the body-layer, usually with the aid of a computer. The picture element size of present tomographic scanners is approximately 1.1 mm2.Micro tomography can be realized using the very fine X-ray source generated by the focused electron beam of a scanning electron microscope (see fig. 2). The translation of the X-ray source is done by a line scan of the electron beam on a polished target surface /2/. Projections at different angles are produced by rotating the object.During the registration of a single scan the electron beam is deflected in one direction only, while both deflections are operating in the display tube.

Over the past decades, the combination of energy-dispersive analysis of X-rays and scanning electron microscopy has proved to be a powerful tool for fast and reliable elemental characterization of a large variety of specimens. The technique has evolved rapidly from a purely qualitative characterization method to a reliable quantitative way of analysis. In the last 5 years, an increasing need for automation is observed, whereby energy-dispersive analysers control the beam and stage movement of the scanning electron microscope in order to collect digital X-ray images and perform unattended point analysis over multiple locations.The Philips High-speed Analysis of X-rays system (PHAX-Scan) makes use of the high performance dual-processor structure of the EDAX PV9900 analyser and the databus structure of the Philips series 500 scanning electron microscope to provide a highly automated, user-friendly and extremely fast microanalysis system. The software that runs on the hardware described above was specifically designed to provide the ultimate attainable speed on the system.

Partikel nano TiO2 berbasis air dengan pH basa telah berhasil disintesis dengan menggunakan metode sol-gel dan diimobilisasi pada kain kapas dengan menggunakan kitosan sebagai zat pengikat silang. Sintesis dilakukan  dengan prekursor TiCl4 pada konsentrasi 0,3 M, 0,5 M dan 1 M, dan menggunakan templat kanji dengan proses kalsinasi pada suhu 500˚C selama 2 jam. Partikel nano TiO2 diaplikasikan ke kain kapas dengan metoda pad-dry-cure dan menggunakan kitosan sebagai crosslinking agent. Berdasarkan hasil Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM),diketahui bahwa morfologi partikel TiO2 berbentuk spherical dengan ukuran nano (kurang dari 100 nm). Karakterisasi X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) menunjukkan adanya tiga tipe struktur kristal utama, yaitu (100), (101) dan (102) dengan fasa kristal yang terbentuk adalah anatase dan rutile. Pada karakterisasi menggunakan SEM terhadap serbuk dari TiO2 yang telah diaplikasikan ke permukaan kain kapas, terlihat adanya imobilisasi partikel nano TiO2 melalui ikatan hidrogen silang dengan kitosan pada kain kapas. Hasil analisa tersebut kemudian dikonfirmasi dengan FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra Red) yang hasilnya memperlihatkan puncak serapan pada bilangan gelombang 3495 cm-1, 2546 cm-1, dan 511 cm-1,  yang masing-masing diasumsikan sebagai adanya vibrasi gugus fungsi O-H, N-H dan Ti-O-Ti. Hasil SEM menunjukkan pula bahwa kristal nano yang terbentuk diantaranya adalah fasa rutile , yang berdasarkan literatur terbukti dapatberfungsi sebagai anti UV.

The paper presents a comparison of the results of the corrosion resistance for three Fe-B-Co-Si-based newly developed alloys with the addition of Nb and V. The corrosion performance differences and microstructure variations were systematically studied using scanning electron microscope, electric corrosion equipment, X-ray diffractometer, and differential calorimeter. It has been shown that each alloying addition increased the corrosion resistance. The highest corrosion resistance obtained by potentiodynamic polarization was found for the alloy with both Nb and V addons (Fe57Co10B20Si5Nb4V4) and lowest in the case of the basic four-element Fe62Co15B14Si9 material. This shows that the proper choice of additions is of significant influence on the final performance of the alloy and allows tailoring of the material for specific applications.

In this paper, the hydrothermal-assisted liquid phase deposition (HT-LPD) method has been developed to prepare TiO2 films. The crystalline structures and morphologies of as-prepared TiO2 films were analyzed using an X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). It was found that the HT-LPD TiO2 film showed good crystallinity with preferrred orientation along c-axis. Moreover, the as-prepared TiO2 films consisted of two layers, with the tiny nanoparticles as the underlying layer and the flower-like clusters as the upper layer. The photoelectrochemical measurements revealed that, when illuminated by the white light, the HT-LPD TiO2 films exhibited a more negative photopotential value and an increased photocurrent value with elevated reaction temperature, excepting for the sample prerared at 150 °C. In summary, the TiO2 films prepared by the improved LPD method could be served as the promising photoanode for the photoelectrochemical applications.

The effect of the neodymium content on mechanical properties of the electro-brush plated nanoAl2O3/Ni composite coating was investigated in this paper. The microstructure and phase structure were studied with scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The hardness and abrasion properties of several coatings with different neodymium content were studied by nanoindentation test and friction / wear experiment. Results show that the coatings are much finer and more compact when the neodymium was added, and the hardness and abrasion property of the coatings with neodymium were improved obviously. Besides, the small cracks conduced by the upgrowth stress in the coatings were ameliorated when the rare earth neodymium was added. The improvement mechanism was further discussed.
