The Cr1-xAlxN coatings were deposited onto M2 tool steel using ion arc plating technique. The effect of current density on the surface morphology and mechanical properties of TiN/CrAlN coating was made. It was found that adjusting the pure metal target currents is not only to change the metal atomic ratio, but also to influence the surface morphology, their hardness and adhesion. The micro hardness Hv increases almost linearly with Al content of the coating in this study, and the Cr0.41Al0.59N coating reaches Hv 2950. The adhesion force between the coating and the substrate reaches maximum value 55N, when the [Al]/[Al+Cr] ratio is 0.44.

The parameters of electrolytic synthesis of Ni-P coatings on steel surface from sulfate-chloride electrolyte have been determinated. The Ni-P alloys consist of separate phases of Ni and Ni3P and solid solution of implementation on the basis of the FCC Ni lattice, when it was deposited from the electrolyte at current density to be more than 7 A/dm2. The coating was formed with continuous globular surface at current density of 5 A/dm2. The globular formations are the Ni3P phase. The obtained at current density of 9 A/dm2 coatings have maximum value of micro¬hardness 430 HV. Darbe buvo nustatyti Ni-P dangų ant plieno paviršiaus elektrolitinės sintezės (iš sulfatinio-chloridinio elektrolito) parametrai. Ni-P lydinių mikrostruktūrą sudaro atskiros Ni ir Ni3P fazės arba nikelio kietasis įterpimo tirpalas, turintis kubinę paviršiaus centruotą gardelę, kai dangos yra nusodinamos iš elektrolito, esant srovės tankiui daugiau negu 7 A/dm2. Kai srovės tankis yra daugiau negu 5 A/dm2, formuojasi ištisinis, rutulinio pobūdžio dangos paviršius. Rutulio formos darinius sudaro Ni3P fazė. Dangos, turinčios didžiausią mikrokietumo reikšmę 430 HV, gautos esant srovės tankiui 9 A/dm2.

The properties of the MoS2/Zr coatings can be significantly affected by the deposition temperature. In this study, the MoS2/Zr composite coatings were fabricated on the cemented carbide surface, utilizing the duplex deposition technology at various deposition temperatures. The effects of deposition temperature on the mechanical and friction properties of the MoS2/Zr coatings were systematically studied. Results exhibited that as the deposition temperature increased, the adhesion force increased first and then decreased, and the coating thickness and micro-hardness gradually increased. Dry sliding tests against a hardened steel ring showed that the tribological behaviors and wear mechanisms of the MoS2/Zr coatings varied with deposition temperature, which were due to the changing mechanical properties of coatings caused by the temperature. The coatings deposited at a temperature of 180 °C and 200 °C possessed preferable comprehensive mechanical and tribological properties.

Mg-xZr damping alloys (x=0.6, 1.5, 2.5, 5, mass %) were prepared by PM (powder metallurgy ) technology, and effects of Zr contents on microstructure, mechanical properties and damping capacities of Mg-xZr damping alloys were researched by three-point bending test and DMA, etc. The results show that the microstructure become into strip-shaped morphology, more granular particles appear in the grain boundaries or inside grains, and the grains are more refined with the increase of Zr additions. Micro-hardness and bending strength of the Mg-xZr damping alloys increase with increasing addition of Zr, and reach the maximum value with Zr addition of 2.5%. The damping capacities of Mg-xZr alloys increase slowly with the temperature from 27°C to 100°C, and increase rapidly above 100°C. The damping peaks appear at temperature of 160°C. Mg-5%Zr alloy exhibits the highest damping capacity, and its tanf value reaches to 0.084. The temperature of the damping peak increases with increasing frequencies, showing the characteristic of relaxation damping.

Effects of different preparation parameters on the structural and mechanical properties of micro-arc oxidation coatings prepared in silicate electrolyte on 6063 alloy were investigated. The results show that the growth rate of ceramic coating increases with increasing current density and electrolyte concentration. The prepared coating had denser and smoother surface with few defects, higher micro-hardness values and better wear resistance when the current density was increased to 20A/dm2. The measurement properties were all up to their optimum values when the electrolyte concentration was in the range of 9-12g/l and oxidation time was 60min, respectively.

Laser surface cladding of Ti-6Al-4V alloy by Ti+C+Al powders (Titanium and carbon powders with an atomic ratio of 1:1 were mixed with 20-40wt.% aluminum powders) was investigated. TiC particles were in situ formed mainly during the solidification. Effect of Al content on the porosity and microstructure of the cladding layer was studied. The resultant microstructure in the modified surface layer was characterized and the micro-hardness on the cladding layers was measured, as well as the wear rates. The results show that the coating had good metallurgical bonding with substrate when the Al mass fraction in Al-Ti-C system is 30 %. The micro-hardness of coating is 802HV0.5 which is 2~3 times as that of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy approximately.

In this paper, the TiN/TiAlN duplex coatings were deposited on SKH51 tool steel by means of multi-arc ion plating. By means of SEM, Vickers microhardness tester and scratch tester, the effect of target current levels on the surface morphology and mechanical properties of TiN/TiAlN duplex coatings on SKH51 tool steel was studied. During deposition, the effect of target current on microstructure and mechanical properties is responsible for the number, energy of emission target particles and distribution of target droplets. It was found that the thickness and microhardness of coatings, and the number of droplets with diameter more than 2 m increased with target current increasing. The adhesion force between coating and substrate reaches a peak value of 40.5N at 70A. From application view, it is better to control the Ti-Al target current density at 9.88x10-3 A/mm2.

The texture of electrodeposits vary with deposition conditions. Electrodeposits texture is also related to microstructure, surface morphology and mechanical properties. When the electrodeposits annealed, the recrystallization texture may be different from the original deposition texture. The surface morphology, the microstructure and the initial and recrystallization textures of nickel electrodeposits vary with deposition conditions.The 〈100〉 and 〈110〉 textures of nickel electrodeposits can be obtained from nickel sulfate, nickel chloride and boric acid baths. The size of surface asperities decreases with increasing current density and decreasing temperature. The 〈100〉 and 〈110〉 textures of nickel electrodeposits changed to the 〈100〉 and 〈310〉 texture, when recrystallized, respectively.

This article deals with the influence of different doses of Beta radiation to the structure and mico-mechanical properties of Low-density polyethylene (LDPE). Hard surface layers of polymer materials, especially LDPE, can be formed by radiation cross-linking by β radiation with doses of 33, 66 and 99 kGy. Material properties created by β radiation are measured by micro-hardness test using the DSI method (Depth Sensing Indentation). Individual radiation doses caused structural and micro-mechanical changes which have a significant effect on the final properties of the LDPE tested. The highest values of micro-mechanical properties were reached at radiation dose of 66 and 99 kGy, when the micro-hardness values increased by about 21%. The changes were examined and confirmed by X-ray diffraction.

Cu47.5Zr47.5Al5 bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) were cast from the melt temperature 1143 to 1373 K. The structure, thermal and mechanical properties of the BMGs were investigated by XRD, DSC, HRTEM, dilatometric measurements, micro-hardness tests and uniaxial compression. The results indicate that the microstructure and mechanical performance of BMGs are closely affected by the casting temperature. Proper casting temperature ensures the BMGs with large relaxed excess free volume (REFV) and nano-crystallites, which favor the plastic deformation in Cu47.5Zr47.5Al5 BMGs. Regulating the preparing parameters is an important solution to good plasticity in BMGs.
