Influence of heat treatment on the corrosion resistance of the aluminum-copper (Al-Cu) coating on the aluminum substrate was investigated. The coating was produced by the electrical discharge alloying (EDA) method. The surface and microstructure of the specimens were observed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The phase analysis of the composite materials by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) indicated that intermetallic compounds (i.e., CuAl2 and Cu9Al4) were formed through reactions between Al and Cu. during the EDA process. A significant increase in the hardness of the Al-Cu coating was affected by the improvement of the alloy structure. The heat treatment of materials was carried out at 400 °C or 600 °C in the air atmosphere. A corrosion test of materials was carried out by using electrochemical methods. The corrosive environment was acidic chloride solution. After heat treatment at 400 °C the mechanical properties of the Al/Cu alloy increased significantly and the oxide layer protect of the alloy surface against corrosion. However, after heat treatment at elevated temperature, i.e., 600 °C it was found that the (Al2O3)ads and (CuO)ads coatings were destroyed. The mechanical properties of the Al/Cu alloy decreased, and its surface has undergone deep electrochemical corrosion.

Mechanical Properties And Corrosion

The mechanical properties and corrosion behaviors of the casting Al-Cu alloys were investigated. The proportion of the two modifiers (PrxOy and LaxOy) has effects on the mechanical properties and the electrochemical corrosion behavior of the casting Al-Cu alloy. The ultimate true tensile strength of the Al-Cu alloy modified only by LaxOy is the highest (616.0 MPa). The fracture strain of the Al-Cu alloy modified by PrxOy and LaxOy is the highest (12.3%). The Al-Cu alloy modified by PrxOy has better corrosion resistance than any other Al-Cu alloy. The prominent mechanical properties should be attributed to the finer crystal grains and more homogeneously distributed nano-scale phase precipitates. The existence of continuous and compact protective Al2O3 and RE-O films enhanced the corrosion resistance of the modified Al-Cu alloy during the corrosion process.

The effects of heat treatment on the microstructures and mechanical properties of a squeeze-casted Al-6.8%Zn-2.7%Mg-2.0%Cu alloy were studied by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It is found that squeeze casting can refine the microstructure of the alloy markedly accelerates the diffusion process of solute atoms during solution heat treatment. After solution heat treatment at 470°C for 10h and artificial aging at 130°C for 24h, the tensile strength and the elongation of the squeeze-casted alloy reach 590MPa and 5.0%, respectively, which are almost equal to those of the wrought alloy, and are significantly higher than those of the gravity-casted alloy (435MPa and 1.3%). Based on the experimental results, the mechanism of microstructural evolution and the effect of squeeze casting on the kinetics of solute diffusion and aging precipitation of the squeeze-casted Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy were discussed.

Test Result

This work focused on the effect of Co content on the corrosion resistance of high pitting resistance equivalent (PRE), super ferritic, Ni-free stainless steels in simulated biosolutions. The effect of Co in Ni-free alloys was evaluated by cytotoxicity test. Anodic polarization test and AC impedance measurement were performed to evaluate the effect of Co on corrosion resistance of the alloys. The cytotoxicity test result for 4 experimental alloys shows non-cytotoxic but mild cytotoxic for 316L stainless steel due to relatively poor corrosion resistance. However, the effect of Co on the passivity was positive in bio-solution but it was negative in acidic chloride solution.

Abstract Sintering process is essential to acquire the final components by stereolithography (SLA), which is a promising additive manufacturing technology for the fabrication of complex, custom-designed dental implants. 3Y-ZrO2 ceramics at different sintering behaviors in air atmosphere were successfully obtained in this study. Firstly, the curing properties of homemade pastes were studied, and the penetration depth and critical exposure of the pastes were calculated as 17.2 μm and 4.80 mJ/cm2, respectively. The green ceramic parts were performed at 154 mW laser power and 6000 mm/s scanning speed. Then, the dimensional accuracy, surface quality, and mechanical properties of 3Y-ZrO2 ceramics were investigated. The shrinkages of length, width, and height were 26%~27 %, 30%~31 %, and 27%~33 % in sintered ceramics, respectively. The Ra values of XOY, YOZ, and XOZ surfaces showed an anisotropic feature, and they were smallest as 0.52 μm, 2.40 μm, and 2.46 μm, respectively. Meanwhile, the mechanical properties presented a similar trend that they grew first and then dropped at various sintering behaviors. The optimal parameters were 1500 ℃, 60 min, and 4 ℃/min, and the maximum relative density of 96.18 %, Vickers hardness of 12.45 GPa, and fracture toughness of 6.35 MPa·m1/2 were achieved. Finally, the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis demonstrated that no change was observed in crystal transformation and phase composition, and the organic was completely removed in sintered ceramics. This research is expected to provide a technical guide for the fabrication of ceramics for dental implants using SLA technique.

Electroless Coatings

The present work reports the deposition of a quaternary Ni-B-W-Mo coating on AISI 1040 medium carbon steel and its characterization. Quaternary deposits are obtained by suitably modifying existing electroless Ni-B bath. Composition of the as-deposited coating is analyzed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The structural aspects of the as-deposited and coatings heat treated at 300[Formula: see text]C, 350[Formula: see text]C, 400[Formula: see text]C, 450[Formula: see text]C and 500[Formula: see text]C are determined using X-ray diffraction technique. Surface of the as-deposited and heat-treated coatings is examined using a scanning electron microscope. Very high W deposition could be observed when sodium molybdate is present in the borohydride-based bath along with sodium tungstate. The coatings in their as-deposited condition are amorphous while crystallization takes place on heat treatment. A nodulated surface morphology of the deposits is also observed. Vickers’ microhardness and crystallite size measurement reveal inclusion of W and Mo results in enhanced thermal stability of the coatings. Solid solution strengthening of the electroless coatings by W and Mo is also observed. The applicability of kinetic strength theory to the hardening of the coatings on heat treatment is also investigated. Corrosion resistance of Ni-B-W-Mo coatings and effect of heat treatment on the same are also determined by electrochemical techniques.
