The warm stamping technology is a promising technology to meet the needs of car weight reduction and energy conservation. In order to compare with the mechanical properties of the traditional hot-stamped boron-alloyed steel 22MnB5, a new warm-stamped niobium-alloyed steel 22Mn3SiNb was designed and tested. The optimal heating parameters for warm forming process were explored through mechanical tests, and the process of their microstructure evolution was investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), etc. The experimental results indicate that the optimal heating parameters for the niobium-alloyed steel 22Mn3SiNb are a heating temperature of 800 °C and a soaking time of 5 min. Compared to the hot-stamped boron-alloyed steel 22MnB5 under their respective optimal heating parameters, the properties and microstructure characteristics of 22Mn3SiNb are greatly improved, and nearly no decarburized layer is found on the surface of the niobium-alloyed steel 22Mn3SiNb. In addition, the addition of Nb produces the effects of grain refinement and precipitation strengthening due to the introduction of plenty of nano-precipitated particles and dislocations. In the end, it can be predicted that the new warm-stamped niobium-alloyed steel will replace the conventional hot-stamped boron-alloyed steel.

AbstractThe present study reports the novel synthesis of Zinc nanoparticles (Zn NPs) by thermal decomposition method and its characterisation by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), and X-ray Diffraction Measurements (XRD). Synthesis of Zn NPs was achieved by using thermosetting polymer and zinc salts as precursor. Zn NPs were obtained on calcination at 850 °C for 30 min. SEM study reveals that synthesized nanoparticles are spherical in shape. XRD analysis shows that the Zn NPs formed are low crystalline in nature.

Graphite encapsulated nickel nanoparticles were prepared by ball milling andsubsequently annealing a mixture of expanded graphite with nickel powders. The products were characterized by transmission electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. The formation mechanism of the products was discussed. Results show that the products have a size range of 20-150 nm. The graphite and nickel in the products all exhibit a high crystallinity.

Hybrid nanocomposites were successfully prepared by the incorporation of polyethersulfone (PES) and organoclay into epoxy resin. They had higher fracture toughness than the prepared PES/epoxy blend and organoclay/epoxy nanocomposites. The microstructures of the hybrid nanocomposites were studied. They were comprised of homogeneous PES/epoxy semi-interpenetrating network (semi-IPN) matrices and organoclay micro-agglomerates made up of tactoid-like regions composed of ordered exfoliated organoclay with various orientations. The former was confirmed with dynamic mechanical analysis, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, while the latter was successfully observed with X-ray diffraction measurements, optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. The improvement of their fracture toughness was due to the synergistic toughening effect of the PES and the organoclay and related to their microstructures.

Bismuth selenide (Bi2Se3) hexagonal nanosheet crystals with uniform size were successfully prepared via a solvothermal method at 160°C for 22 h using bismuth trichloride(BiCl3) and selenium powder(Se) as raw materials, sodium bisulfite(NaHSO3) as a reducing agent, diethylene glycol(DEG) as solvent, and ammonia as pH regulator. Various techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) were used to characterize the obtained products. Results show that the as-synthesized samples are pure Bi2Se3 hexagonal nanosheet crystals. A possible growth mechanism for Bi2Se3 hexagonal nanosheet crystals is also discussed based on the experiment.

Abstract BiFeO3 (BFO) nanopowder was synthesized in a pure form via a sol- gel method based on glycol gel reaction. Effect of drying and preheating temperature on preventing other phases was studied. Many parameters were studied as calcination temperature and time & stirring temperature as well. The prepared powder was characterized by X-Ray Diffraction of powder (XRD) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). High pure BiFeO3 was obtained by preheated process at 400 °C for 0.5 h and calcination at 600 °C for 0.5 h without any impurities compared to dry at110 °C.

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) fabricated by electron-beam physical-vapor deposition (EB-PVD) were irradiated by high-intensity pulsed ion beam (HIPIB) at an ion current density of 100 A/cm2 with a shot number of 1-10. Microstructural features of the irradiated EB-PVD TBCs were characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), respectively. All the HIPIB-irradiated EB-PVD TBC surfaces present smooth and densified features. The originated intercolumnar channels growing out to the top-coat surface and nanometer-scale gaps inside each single column were sealed after the remelting of TBC surface induced by HIPIB, resulting in formation of a continuous remelted layer about 1-2 μm in thickness. The dense remelted layer can work as a barrier against the heat-flow and corrosive gases, and gives the possibility of improving thermal conductivity and oxidation resistance of the HIPIB irradiated EB-PVD TBC.


Zirconia have become widely studied as consequence of their outstanding mechanical properties, such as hardness, mechanical strength and fracture toughness, which allow them to cover a wide spectrum of applications as structural ceramics, including the field of biomaterials. This study was to compare the strength properties of zirconia block with and without Cold Isostatic Press (CIP). The mechanical properties of zirconia block with and without CIP were characterized. Samples of zirconia block will undergo forming process via Cold Isostatic Pressing (CIP), four levels of soaking time (no CIP, 60, 90 and 120 minutes). All of the sample with different soaking time then were sinter in the furnace. The parameter for sintering process was fixed 1300ºC at rate of 3ºC / min. All of the sample were tested for its strength properties using Vickers test. The density and shrinkage of the zirconia block was be analyzed. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize samples if zirconia blocks.

Zn was firstly used to improve wear resistance of a TA7 (Ti–5Al–2.5Sn) titanium alloy surface by mean of a laser alloying (LA) technique. The synthesis of the hard coating on a TA7 titanium alloy by LA of Co–Ti–Cr–TiB2–Zn–CeO2 pre-placed powders was investigated by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM). Experimental results indicated lot of the nanocrystals, such as Ti–B/CoZn13 and the amorphous phases were produced in such LA coating. The nucleation and growth of the amorphous phases were retarded by the nanocrystals in a certain extent during the crystallization process of the amorphous phases. Compared with a TA7 alloy substrate, an improvement of the wear resistance was obtained for such LA composite coating.
