The paper focuses on the metallographic analysis of the damaged inner shaft of a centrifugal pump with a magnetic clutch. This pump was used for the pumping of viscous suspensions. The damaged part of the centrifugal pump was made of stainless steel and transmitted power from the magnetic clutch to the impeller of the pump. The pump was overhauled by the Manufacturer after ten years of routine work. Slightly worn parts of the pump, including the inner stainless steel shaft, were replaced by the Manufacturer according to the preserved documentation. The overhauled pump failed after two days of running in the original conditions. The problematic is solved by an analysis of three used inner shafts with the aid of a metallographic analysis of the microstructure of the material, using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, and an EDS microanalysis of the chemical composition and hardness measurements.

The paper deals with the qualitative, quantitative, and phase analyses of particles that were found during the metallographic analysis of a cracked spring washer made of silicon spring steel 38Si7, with the aim of ruling out the client’s suspicion of possible initiation of graphitization in the course of the heat treatment. The problem is solved via metallographic analysis using light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy including EDS microanalysis of the chemical composition and EDS line analysis.

CuInSe2 thin films were obtained by selenization of the Cu-In precursors in the atmosphere of Se vapour, which were prepared on stainless steel and titanium substrates by electrodeposition. The films were characterized by XRD, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The respective influences of composition, phases and surface morphology of Cu-In precursors on indium loss were investigated. The results indicate that the indium loss occurs in selenization process because of volatile In2Se arising. The indium loss is less in selenization process of Cu-In precursors contained CuIn, Cu2In and In phases.

Strength Of Adhesion

In order to research the adhesion of sputtering protective coating of Gd. Gd substrates was coated with 1Cr18Ni9Ti by means of DC magnetron sputtering technology. The characteristics of the film were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), EDS, SPM and the adhesions of film was tested by tension test. The results show that the films of 1Cr18Ni9Ti are distributed by means of islands when the sputtering was initiated and the grains are like thin fiber. After a few minutes, the films are smooth and perfect, the interferences between 1Cr18Ni9Ti and Gd join together strongly, and the largest strength of adhesion is 24.7MPa when the sputtering density is 966 w/cm2 and the sputtering time is 8 minutes.

Microbial Attachment

Milk contact surfaces were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques for possible microbial attachment. Cultures of Pseudomonas fragi 4973, Staphylococcus aureus JAL, Streptococcus lactis C2, Streptococcus cremoris and Lactobacillus bulgaricus RR inoculated onto glass coverslips or stainless steel chips were examined. Stainless steel surfaces displayed many possible harborages for microbial colonization. SEM examination of P. fragi 4973 showed development of fibrous material, with numerous stick-like projections extending from the cell to the glass or stainless steel surface. These apparent attachment appendages became more pronounced as contact time increased. S. aureus, S. lactis, S. cremoris and L. bulgaricus did not display such fibrous material.

Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) has been successfully used to deposit composite coatings composed of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles on 316L stainless steel substrates. The suspensions of TiO2 nanoparticles and PEEK microparticles for EPD were prepared in ethanol. PEEK-TiO2 composite coatings were optimized using suspensions containing 6wt% PEEK-TiO2 in ethanol with a 3:1 ratio of PEEK to TiO2 in weight and by applying a potential difference of 30 V for 1 minute. A heat-treatment process of the optimized PEEK-TiO2 composite coatings was performed at 335°C for 30 minutes with a heating rate of 10°Cminto densify the deposits. The EPD coatings were microstructurally evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was demonstrated that EPD is a convenient and rapid method to fabricate PEEK/TiO2 coatings on stainless steel which are interesting for biomedical applications.
