AbstractThe current paper reports successful syntheses of Ni-TiN composite coatings via pulse current (PC) and magnetic PC (MPC) depositions. The microstructural, nanomechanical, wear properties and wear mechanism of the Ni-TiN composite coatings were investigated via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), a nanoindenter (NI) and a high frequency reciprocating wear test instrument. The results showed that the Ni-TiN composite coating deposited at magnetic intensity of 0.3 T had numerous homogeneously dispersed TiN particles. The size of the Ni grains and the TiN particles in the coating were of nanometer size, with an average diameter of ∼65 nm and ∼25 nm, respectively. The maximum hardness and Young’s modulus values for the Ni-TiN composite coatings, deposited at magnetic intensity of 0.3 T, were 34.85 GPa and 165.2 GPa, respectively. The wear results showed that the weight loss of the Ni-TiN composite coating was approximately 47.4 mg at a magnetic density of 0.3 T. Furthermore, the coatings deposited at 0.3 T presented low friction coefficients, with an average value of about 0.43.

In order to prevent the wear failure of the hot-working die, the composite coatings of Stellite 6-Cr3C2-WS2 was fabricated on H13 hot-working die steel by laser cladding. The composite coating was prepared through the in-situ generation technology, that can give H13 the ability of self-lubricating at the working temperature (about 200 °C). The effect of the various WS2 percentages on the properties of the coating was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), microhardness test, friction and wear test. In addition, the phase constitutions, microstructures and wear properties were also investigated systematically. The obtained hardness of the cladding coating is approximately 2.5 times higher than the substrate because of the constituents of γ-(Fe, Co)/Cr7C3 eutectic colony, (Cr, W)C carbide and dendritic crystals in the coating. Furthermore, the friction coefficient decreases to 70% of the substrate due to the CrS self-lubricating phase. The analyses results suggest that an 85% Stellite 6-10% Cr3C2-5% WS2 composite coating has excellent material properties.

Brush Plating

To remanufacture hard chromium-plated workpiece, nano-Al2O3/Ni-Co composite coatings and Ni-Co alloy coatings are developed using electric brush plating technology. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) are used to analyze the surface morphology, phase structure and wear properties of coatings. The surface morphology of nano-composite coating is more compact. The nano-particles are well-distributed in the coating and bounded tightly with the substrate. The hardness of composite coating is HV1027, increased approximately 38% compared with Ni-Co alloy coating, overtaking the hard chrome plating. The results of sliding wear test shows that the nano-composite coating reduces friction coefficient, increases wear resistance significantly and exceeds the chromium plating.

M-typical SrFe12O19 ferrites and FeNi3 nanoplatelets were successfully prepared by the sol-gel method and solution phase reduction method, respectively. The crystalline and morphology of particles were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The composite coatings with SrFe12O19 ferrites and FeNi3 nanoplatelets in polyvinylchloride matrix were prepared. The microwave absorption properties of these coatings were investigated in 2-18GHz frequency range. The results showed that the M-typical SrFe12O19 ferrites and FeNi3 nanoplatelets were obtained and they presented irregular sheet shapes. With the increase of the coating thickness, the absorbing peak value moves to the lower frequency. The absorbing peak values of the wave increase along with the increasing of the content of FeNi3 nanoplatelets filling fraction. When 40% SrFe12O19 ferrites is doped with 20% mass fraction FeNi3 nanoplatelets to prepare composite with 1.5mm thickness, the maximum reflection loss is -24.8 dB at 7.9GHz and the -10 dB bandwidth reaches 3.2GHz.

Pulse current (PC) electro-deposition combined with the ultrasonic (U) field has been used to fabricate pure nickel and nickel-ceria composite coatings. Morphology, ceria (RE) composite, and crystal-texture were observed and analyzed by using environment scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (ESEM/EDAX) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Experimental results indicate that it produced the alloying coatings, exhibiting compact grain and be of amorphous state. Nano-sized RE would preferentially occupy and pad the defective area between the cracked gap and micropores to limit the growth of the original Ni grain, and far from coarse grain. Furthermore, during annealed at 500 °C for 2 h, dispersing a solid-solution precipitated phase named NiCexO1-x (0<x<0.5), it would make diffused sufficiently to promote densification and microhardness greatly.

Operational Aspects

Nanoparticles are defined as elementary particles with a size between 1 and 100 nm for at least 50% (in number). They can be made from natural materials, or manufactured. Due to their small sizes, novel toxicological issues are raised and thus determining the accurate size of these nanoparticles is a major challenge. In this study, we performed an intercomparison experiment with the goal to measure sizes of several nanoparticles, in a first step, calibrated beads and monodispersed SiO2 Ludox®, and, in a second step, nanoparticles (NPs) of toxicological interest, such as Silver NM-300 K and PVP-coated Ag NPs, Titanium dioxide A12, P25(Degussa), and E171(A), using commonly available laboratory techniques such as transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering, dynamic light scattering, wet scanning transmission electron microscopy (and its dry state, STEM) and atomic force microscopy. With monomodal distributed NPs (polystyrene beads and SiO2 Ludox®), all tested techniques provide a global size value amplitude within 25% from each other, whereas on multimodal distributed NPs (Ag and TiO2) the inter-technique variation in size values reaches 300%. Our results highlight several pitfalls of NP size measurements such as operational aspects, which are unexpected consequences in the choice of experimental protocols. It reinforces the idea that averaging the NP size from different biophysical techniques (and experimental protocols) is more robust than focusing on repetitions of a single technique. Besides, when characterizing a heterogeneous NP in size, a size distribution is more informative than a simple average value. This work emphasizes the need for nanotoxicologists (and regulatory agencies) to test a large panel of different techniques before making a choice for the most appropriate technique(s)/protocol(s) to characterize a peculiar NP.

Enhance Wear Resistance

Ni-Co-W composite coatings modified by different contents of Co-based alloy powder in the Ni-based alloy with 35 wt.% WC (Ni35WC) were deposited on stainless steel by laser cladding. The influence of compositional and microstructural modification on the wear properties has been comparatively investigated by XRD, SEM, and EDS techniques. It was found that the austenite dendrites in the modified coating adding 50 wt.% Co-based alloy were refined and a lot of Cr23C6 or M23(C, B)6 compounds with fine lamellar feature were formed around austenitic grain boundaries or in the intergranular regions. The contribution of element Co to the modification of Ni35WC coating is that it cannot only promote the formation of more hard compounds to refine austenite grains, but also refine the size of precipitates, and change the phase type of eutectic structure as a result of disappeared Cr boride brittle phases. A noticeable improvement in wear resistance is obtained in the Ni35WC coating with 50 wt.% Co-based alloy, which makes the wear rate decreased by about 53 % and 30% by comparison to that of the substrate and the Ni35WC coating, respectively. It is suggested that the improvement is closely related to the composite coating being strengthened owing to the increase of coating hardness, formation of a fine-grained microstructure caused by Co, and fine hard precipitate phases in the eutectic structure.

The results of experiments on the self-aggregation of C60 fullerene molecules both inside a two-component solvent (xylene/tetrahydrofuran) and in the volume of an evaporating drop of C60 colloidal solution on a flat substrate surface are presented. The investigations of C60 solutions using dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy and UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy methods revealed the possibility of synthesis of fractal nanoaggregates with a diameter of up to ~135 nm at low concentrations of C60 in the solutions. The final geometric dimensions of C60 nanoaggregates were determined by the initial concentration of fullerene in the solvent medium. Using the scanning electron microscopy method, we have shown that in an open dissipative system – in the volume of an evaporating droplet of the colloidal solution of fullerene C60 sessile on the surface of a flat glass substrate, large quasispherical nanoaggregates with an average diameter of ~380–800 nm are formed. The physical features and regularities that characterize the processes of self-aggregation of fullerene particles in the volume of a drying drop were determined.

Micro- and nanoparticles of NiSb2O6 were synthesized by the microwave-assisted colloidal method. Nickel nitrate, antimony chloride, ethylenediamine, and ethyl alcohol were used. The oxide was obtained at 600°C and was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy, showing a trirutile-type structure with cell parameters a = 4.641 Å, c = 9.223 Å, and a space group P42/mnm (136). Average crystal size was estimated at ~31.19 nm, according to the XRD-peaks. The microstructure was scrutinized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), observing microrods measuring ~3.32 μm long and ~2.71 μm wide, and microspheres with an average diameter of ~8 μm; the size of the particles shaping the microspheres was measured in the range of ~0.22 to 1.8 μm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that nanoparticles were obtained with sizes in the range of 2 to 20 nm (~10.7 nm on average). Pellets made of oxide’s powders were tested in propane (C3H8) and carbon monoxide (CO) atmospheres at different concentrations and temperatures. The response of the material increased significantly as the temperature and the concentration of the test gases rose. These results show that NiSb2O6 may be a good candidate for gas sensing applications.
