Abstract:The dismantling study on the CuCrZr alloy orbital after the electromagnetic emission experiment was carried out. Combined with canning electron microscopy (SEM), energy X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) etc., the surface of the orbital surface in four regions along the emission direction was analyzed. The deposition characteristics and wear mechanism were studied. The results show that most of the rail surface is covered by deposition. The thickness of the deposition layer tends to be thin to thick, and then to thin again in the second half of rail, and the thickest position reaches 65 μm. The main components of the deposition are Cu, Al, Al2O3 and Al4Cu9, etc. There are some typical features in the deposition layer, including spalling, grooving, water-like structure, surface-attached wear debris, pores, packed pores and cellular-dendrites, which shows a mixed state of mechanical and electrical wear. The characteristics of the deposition layer in different regions are obviously different, including thickness, size and number of pores, microstructure inside the deposition, cracks, surface morphologies, etc. Diffusion occures at the interface between the deposition layer and the rail, forming a diffusion interface. And the grain orientation of the deposition layer is perpendicular to the rail surface.
