The aim of this work is to investigate the mechanical performances and corrosion resistance of open-cell aluminium foams with an electroplated nickel coating. The influence of two different electrolytic solutions on mechanical properties and corrosion resistance was studied: The Watts solution (nickel sulphate-based solution) and a nickel sulphamate solution (widely adopted). Scanning electron microscopy and stereoscopic analysis allowed for the estimation of the coating uniformity and adhesion to the substrate. In order to assess the improvement of performances, compression and corrosion tests were performed on coated and uncoated foams. In addition, annealing was investigated in relation to different operational parameters, related both to electro-deposition (electrolyte, deposition current and time) and to annealing (treatment temperature). From the results, the yield stress and the corrosion resistance improved. Moreover, the annealing at increasing temperature was found to reduce the yield stress, but Ni-coated foams showed higher values of stress for all the considered treatment temperatures.

Mechanical Properties And Corrosion

Al foil with high formability and corrosion resistance is highly desired for lithium-ion battery soft packaging. Annealing treatment has a significant impact on the performance of soft packaging Al foil. The effects of both La content and the annealing temperature on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion behavior of Al-1.5Fe-La alloy was investigated through optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), tensile testing, potentiodynamic polarization testing, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) testing. A higher addition of La resulted in the formation of AlFeLa particles and a refinement of the Fe-rich second phase. The Al-1.5Fe-0.25La alloy had a higher formability and corrosion resistance than the Al-1.5Fe-0.1La alloy. Microstructure analysis indicated that recovery, recrystallization, and grain growth successively occurred in the Al-Fe-La alloy with the increase of the annealing temperature from 200 °C to 250 and 380 °C. After annealing at 250 °C, the Al-Fe-La alloys had the highest corrosion resistance due to refined grain and a high fraction of small-angle grain boundaries.

Sprayed Coating

Fe-based amorphous/nanocrystalline coatings with smooth, compact interior structure and low porosity were fabricated via supersonic plasma spraying (SPS). The coatings showed outstanding corrosion resistance in a 3.5% NaCl solution at room temperature. In order to analyze the effect of annealing treatment on the microstructure, corrosion resistance and microhardness, the as-sprayed coating was annealed for 1 h under different temperatures such as 350, 450, 550 and 650 °C, respectively. The results showed that the number of oxides and cracks in the coatings presented an obvious increase with increasing annealing temperature, and the corrosion resistance of the coatings showed an obvious reduction. However, the microhardness of coatings showed an important increase. The microhardness of the coating could reach 1018 HV when the heat treatment temperature reached 650 °C. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that there appeared a number of crystalline phases in the coating when the heat treatment temperature was at 650 °C. The crystalline phases led to the increase of the microhardness.

Abstract Austenitic stainless steel was cladded with Cobalt-based alloy by means of Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding to improve the performance of the working parts such as the thrust bearing plates under dynamic loads and corrosive liquid. Specimens were prepared with different welding parameters, namely the cladding current, preheating temperature, inter-layer temperature and post heat treatment temperature, so as to investigate their influence on micro-hardness, as well as tensile and bending strength. It is revealed that the lower welding current coincides with higher micro-hardness as well as tensile and bending strength. The higher inter-layer temperature will result inhigher overlay micro-hardness. The post weld heat treatment temperature influences the bending strength of the overlay weld specimens. In addition, the accumulation of Cr and Ni compounds on weldment surface is found to coincide with higher corrosion resistance in over-layers by means of XRD.

AbstractThis is the first report presenting the development of a Co–Cr–W–Ni–Mn alloy by adding 6 mass pct Mn to ASTM F90 Co–20Cr–15W–10Ni (CCWN, mass pct) alloy for use as balloon-expandable stents with an excellent balance of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The effects of Mn addition on the microstructures as well as the mechanical and corrosion properties were investigated after hot forging, solution treatment, swaging, and static recrystallization. The Mn-added alloy with a grain size of ~ 20 µm (recrystallization condition: 1523 K, 150 seconds) exhibited an ultimate tensile strength of 1131 MPa, 0.2 pct proof stress of 535 MPa, and plastic elongation of 66 pct. Additionally, it exhibited higher ductility and lower yield stress while maintaining high strength compared to the ASTM F90 CCWN alloy. The formation of intersecting stacking faults was suppressed by increasing the stacking fault energy (SFE) with Mn addition, resulting in a lower yield stress. The low-yield stress is effective in suppressing stent recoil. In addition, strain-induced martensitic transformation during plastic deformation was suppressed by increasing the SFE, thereby improving the ductility. The Mn-added alloys also exhibited good corrosion resistance, similar to the ASTM F90 CCWN alloy. Mn-added Co–Cr–W–Ni alloys are suitable for use as balloon-expandable stents.
