Bi-metallic tubes (BMTs) combine performance advantages of two different tubes and are usually used in particular conditions where corrosion resistance is important. Traditionally, BMTs are manufactured by plastic processes such as extrusion, explosive welding/cladding, hydroforming and even combinations thereof. However, rotary swaging, which is commonly used to produce tubes, was seldom mentioned when preparing BMTs. In this work, Cu-Al BMTs were achieved using swaging-diffusion method (SDM). The effect of process on formability of BMTs are investigated. The experimental results indicate that with the increasing of deformation, metallurgical bonding layer, which is more desirable than mechanical bonding layer, can be achieved. And the metallurgical bonding layer will thicken to 2μm after diffusion. Besides, some failures produced in the swaging process are presented.

In the present paper, a fabrication process to roll-bonding aluminum clad copper tube(ACC) by Planet Schràge Walzwerk(PSW) has been introduced. Aluminum alloy(3003) as a outer tube layer and oxygen free copper(C12200) tube as a inner tube, were rolled to bond together using a PSW mill. Different specifications of ACC tube were selected to investigate the Al-Cu bonding layer thickness using scanning electronic microscope with EDX and bonding strength using peering test, and mechanical properties of ACC tube were also test. The experiment results indicated that Al-Cu composite layer is not only mechanical bonding but also metallurgical bonding with thickness of several micrometers. Moreover, tensile test indicated that the tensile strength of ACC was not less than 135 Mpa and elongation is about 35%, while peeling strength test showed that the two composite layers bond strength nearly arrived to 120 N/cm.

H13 steel is often damaged by wear, erosion, and thermal fatigue. It is one of the essential methods to improve the service life of H13 steel by preparing a coating on it. Due to the advantages of high melting point, good wear, and corrosion resistance of Mo, Mo coating was fabricated on H13 steel by electro spark deposition (ESD) process in this study. The influences of the depositing parameters (deposition power, discharge frequency, and specific deposition time) on the roughness of the coating, thickness, and properties were investigated in detail. The optimized depositing parameters were obtained by comparing roughness, thickness, and crack performance of the coating. The results show that the cross-section of the coating mainly consisted of strengthening zone and transition zone. Metallurgical bonding was formed between the coating and substrate. The Mo coating mainly consisted of Fe9.7Mo0.3, Fe-Cr, FeMo, and Fe2Mo cemented carbide phases, and an amorphous phase. The Mo coating had better microhardness, wear, and corrosion resistance than substrate, which could significantly improve the service life of the H13 steel.

At present, most Mo2FeB2-based cermets are prepared by vacuum sintering. However, vacuum sintering is only suitable for ordinary cylinder and cuboid workpieces, and it is difficult to apply to large curved surface and large size workpieces. Therefore, in order to improve the flexibility of preparing Mo2FeB2 cermet, a flux cored wire with 70% filling rate, 304 stainless steel, 60 wt% Mo powder and 40 wt% FeB powder was prepared. Mo2FeB2 cermet was prepared by an arc cladding welding metallurgy method with flux cored wire. In this paper, the microstructure, phase evolution, hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of Mo2FeB2 cermets prepared by the vacuum sintering (VM-Mo2FeB2) and arc cladding welding metallurgy method (WM-Mo2FeB2) were systematically studied. The results show that VM-Mo2FeB2 is composed of Mo2FeB2 and γ-CrFeNi.WM-Mo2FeB2 is composed of Mo2FeB2, NiCrFe, MoCrFe and Cr2B3. The volume fraction of hard phase in WM-Mo2FeB2 is lower than that of VM-Mo2FeB2, and its hardness and corrosion resistance are also slightly lower than that of VM-Mo2FeB2, but there are obvious pores in the microstructure of VM-Mo2FeB2, which affects its properties. The results show that WM-Mo2FeB2 has good diffusion and metallurgical bonding with the matrix and has no obvious pores. The microstructure is compact and the wear resistance is better than that of VM-Mo2FeB2.

The Cu/Al composites conductive head is widely used in hydrometallurgy as the core component of cathode plate. Its conductive properties directly affect the power consumption, and the bonding strength and corrosion resistance determine the conductive head service life. The Cu/Al conductive head prepared by explosion welding, cold pressure welding, and solid-liquid casting methods were investigated in this paper. The interface microstructure and compositions were examined by scanning electron microscope and X-ray energy dispersive spectrometry. The bonding strength, interface conductivity, and the corrosion resistance of three types of joints were characterized. The Cu/Al bonding interface produced by explosive welding presented a wavy-like morphology with typical defects and many of brittle compounds. A micro-interlocking effect was caused by the sawtooth structures on the cold pressure welding interface, and there was no typical metallurgical reaction on the interface. The Cu/Al bonding interface prepared by solid-liquid casting consisted mainly of an Al-Cu eutectic microstructure (Al2Cu+Al) and partial white slag inclusion. The thickness of the interface transition layer was about 200–250 µm, with defects such as holes, cracks, and unwelded areas. The conductivity, interfacial bonding strength, and corrosion resistance of the conductive head prepared by explosive welding were superior to the other two.

Joining of metals in explosive welding takes place as a result of their plastic deformation during a high speed collision and is usually accompanied by typical formation of waves at the interface. In welding aluminium, the weld boundary can also be straight if the speed of the contact point is νc is ≤ 1900 m/s. These welding conditions make it possible to prevent melting of the metal at the interface and increase at the same time its corrosion resistance. In this article, the effect of the dynamic collision angle on the special features of plastic flow of the metal in the vicinity of the contact boundary in welding sheets of AS5 aluminium is described.

Cold Gas Dynamic Spraying (CGDS) has been developed to fabricate surface coating as a new technique in recent years. In this paper, aluminum bronze particles were sprayed on 45 steel and 316L stainless steel by CGDS, and the coating was sucessfully fabricated on the surface of the steels. The microstructure of the coating and the interface between the coating and the substrate were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive (EDX) and XRD. It was found that the coating was dense and its porosity was low, while the microhardness of the coating was lower than that of the bulk one; Mechanical bonding was the main formation mechanism of the coating, and there was metallurgical bonding too; Diffusion occured at the interface between the coating and substrate; α phase in aluminum bronze particles transformed to β phase after the spray and the transformation was induced by the plastic strain during spraying.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the performance of a fastener composite coating system, sherardized (SD) coating/zinc-aluminum (ZA) coating whether it has good performance in marine environment. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, SD coating was fabricated on fastener surface by solid-diffusion method. ZA coating was fabricated by thermal sintering method. Corrosion behaviours of the composite coating were investigated with potentiodynamic polarization curves, open circuit potential and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy methods. Findings Neutral salt spray (NSS) and deep sea exposure tests revealed that the composite coating had excellent corrosion resistance. Polarization curve tests showed that corrosion current density of the sample with composite coating was significantly decreased, indicating an effective corrosion protection of the composite coating. OCP measurement of the sample in NaCl solution demonstrated that the composite coating had the best cathodic protection effect. The good corrosion resistance of the composite coating was obtained by the synergy of SD and ZA coating. Practical implications SD/ZA coating can be used in marine environment to prolong the life of carbon steel fastener. Social implications SD/ZA composite coating can reduce the risk and accident caused by failed fastener, avoid huge economic losses. Originality/value A new kind of composite coating was explored to protect the carbon steel fastener in marine environment. And the composite coating has the long-term anti-corrosion performance both in simulated and marine environment test.

During near isothermal forging and heat treatment structure change of bonding interface in Ti3Al/TC11 and Ti2AlNb/TC11 dual alloys jointed with different method has been investigated. The results show that the solidification structure at dual-alloy joint welded by electron beam in vacuum has evolved into forging structure, columnar grains have been changed into equiaxed grains through breaking, crystal lattatice rebuild and re-crystallizing, and the mechanical bonding plus metallurgical bonding structure at joint welded by linear friction weld has transformed into metallurgy structure altogether, because constant high temperature during near isothermal forging can cause the diffusion of alloy elements and reconstruction of lattice structure.

The corrosion resistance of a SA106B carbon steel with a gradient nanostructure fabricated by rotationally accelerated shot peening (RASP) for 5, 10, 15 and 20 min was investigated. Electrochemical tests were carried out in the 0.05 M H2SO4 + 0.05 M Na2SO4 and 0.2 M NaCl + 0.05 M Na2SO4 solutions. The experimental results showed that the sample RASP-processed for 5 min exhibited the best corrosion resistance among them. TEM analysis confirmed that the cementite dissolution and formation of nanograins, which improved the corrosion resistance of the steel. Prominent micro-cracks and holes were produced in the samples when the RASP was processed for more than 5 min, resulting in the decrease of corrosion resistance.
