491 Protonation of layered MnO2 nanobelts and GO/MnO2 composites and their electrochemical properties
JIA Lulu, YANG Baopeng
K+ intercalated-MnO2 nanomaterials were synthesized by using KMnO4 and MnCl2 as redox in KOH solution, placed at 200 ℃ for 48h, then protonated with ammonium persulfate. In addition, layered MnO2/graphene oxide (GO) composites were prepared by using graphene oxide aqueous solution as solvent. The phase and morphology of the prepared materials were characterized by XRD, SEM, etc. The electrochemical performance of the supercapacitor was tested by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) in 1 M KOH solution. The results show that the K+ intercalated MnO2 has the morphology of nanobelts, its length can reach 5-12 μm, and its width is about 500 nm. After protonation, high crystallinity and nanobelt morphology can be maintained. In addition, the electrochemical properties of MnO2 can be significantly improved by the addition of GO. The specific capacitance of layered MnO2 nanobelts/GO composites is as high as 750 F/g at current density of 0.5 A/g.

498 Effect of heat treatment process on microstructure and mechanical properties of SLM formed Fe-35Mn Fe based high manganese alloy for automobile
LIU Lingge, ZHU Jingjin, TIAN Hailan
The selective laser melting (SLM) was used to prepare Fe-35Mn Fe-based high Mn alloy for automobile. Three heat treatment processes, namely solid solution, aging, and solid solution-aging, were used to treat the alloy, and the microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy were analyzed and tested. The results show that Fe-35Mn alloy prepared by SLM and treated by solid solution or solution-aging treatment can refine the grain and generate many twins. Compared with the alloy of solid solution treatment, larger size grains are formed after the solid solution aging treatment, and the twins size of solution aging alloy is larger than that of solution aging alloy. After different heat treatment, Fe-35Mn alloys all produce α-Mn phase. With the increase of tensile strain, the solution alloy has the earliest plastic deformation and the best plasticity. After aging treatment, the tensile strength and yield strength of high-Mn Fe-35Mn SLM alloy increase, but the impact toughness and elongation decrease. After solution aging treatment, the number of pores is the least, the impact toughness and elongation reach the maximum (22.8 kV/J and 21.6%, respectively), and the alloy has good plasticity. Both the morphology of SLM and the tensile fracture of heat-treated Fe-35mn alloy are dimple fracture. The solution aged alloy has the least number of pores and the best plasticity.

503 Microstructure and electrochemical properties of WO3-TiO2 thin films prepared by chemical deposition on semiconductor surface
WANG Zhongli, JU Aiyun
Nano WO3-TiO2 films for semiconductors were prepared by chemical deposition with different end capping agents (SDBS or PEG), and their electrochromic properties were characterized. The results show that there is a large gap between the adjacent wafers of WO3-TiO2 thin film with SDBS, forming many cracks and agglomeration of particles. All the WO3-TiO2 thin film samples show short wave shift in the transmission spectrum under the colored condition. There is no significant change in the transmittance of the pigmented and faded WO3-TiO2 films with PEG. Better discoloration effect can be obtained when SDBS is selected as film Terminator. At the same time, the WO3-TiO2 film prepared with SDBS as the terminator has a higher current density than the WO3-TiO2 film prepared with PEG as the terminator. More ion implantation can be obtained, and the stability of film coloring and fading current is better.

LIU Ruiqing, HE Hao, LOU Jia, LI Yimin, LI Song, LIU Chen, QIN Jianchun
The M2 high speed steel was prepared by vacuum sintering process. The effects of vacuum and carbon content on microstructure and properties of M2 high speed steel were studied. The results show that the effective sintering temperature of M2 HSS under low vacuum (10-1 Pa) is 1 220-1 230 ℃, and its relative density is above 96%. The microstructure of M2 is composed of austenitic matrix, M6C and MC carbides after sintering. When vacuum degree increases to 10-3 Pa,the effective sintering temperature of M2 HSS decreases, and the carbides in the matrix are finer and more evenly distributed. The relative density of the sintered sample is 98%, and its tensile properties and elongation reached 989 MPa and 7.1%, respectively. With the increase of carbon content, there is no obvious change in sintering interval of M2 high-speed steel, but the densification can be easier to achieve at lower temperature. When the mass fraction of carbon is 1.0%, the relative density of the sample is 97%, its tensile strength and elongation are 954 MPa and 7%, respectively.

HAN Fuyong, NI Pan, HU Yangming, WANG Qin
In order to solve the problems of corrosion and wear failure of polished rod of oil field pumping unit, nano-TiCN coating was synthesized by mixing cheap graphite or carbon black powder with micro-Ti powder, feeding into high temperature plasma flame containing nitrogen, and self-propagating reaction of Ti with C and N. By adding elements such as Cr and Mo into the coating, a composite coating with micron-nano multi-scale structure is formed, which can reduce the stress of nano-TiCN coating. The results show that the hardness of C/TiCN composite coating is more than 1 500 HV, higher than that of hard Cr coating, the bonding strength of coating is more than 25 MPa, and the thickness of coating is more than 300 μm. The problem of inversion of hardness and toughness of nano-coating was solved, and the chromium plating layer on the surface of polished rod was replaced by a coating with good toughness, wear resistance and abrasion resistance, so as to prolong the service life of polished rod and disk root of oil field pumping unit and reducing the consumption of pumping unit.

YI Jun, ZHANG Bei, TANG Zhengxiao, XIANG Qiuling, YI Maozhong
SiC coatings were prepared on the surface and inside of porous low-density C/C composites by chemical vapor phase reaction using Si and SiO2 powders as raw materials. MoSi2 powder was used as raw materials to reactive infiltrate C/C composites and C/C composites with SiC interface layer to obtain MoSi2 modified C/C composites. The microstructure of the composites was investigated by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and electron probe microanalysis. The bending strength of the material was tested by Instron 3369 mechanical testing machine. The results show that compared with the Si-Mo modified C/C composite prepared by MoSi2 direct infiltration, the SiC coating prepared before infiltration can effectively reduce the porosity of the SiC/C composite and obtain more compact Si-Mo modified C/C composite. The density of composites increases from 2.93 g/cm3 to 3.20 g/cm3, the open porosity decreases from 10.77% to 4.07%; the flexural strength increases from 87 MPa to 121 MPa. The content of SiC and MoSi2 in composites is higher. The composites exhibit pseudoplastic fracture behavior.

LU Xinxin, LIU Wei, LI Lin, LI Jianbin
Using α-Si3N4 as raw powder and MgO-Y2O3-Re2O3 as sintering assistant, Si3N4 ceramics were prepared by hot-pressing sintering, and the density, phase composition, microstructure, thermal conductivity, bending strength and fracture toughness of Si3N4 were tested by archimedean drainage method, XRD, SEM, laser flash method, three-point bending method and indentation method. Studies show that in samples with MgO-Y2O3-Re2O3 (Re=Er, Sm, Dy, La, Y, Yb) added, Sm2O3 , Y2O3 ,Yb2O3 are easy to facilitate Y2O3 to form the second phase Y2SiO3 , Y2Si3O3N4 and Y2SiO5 , respectively. Meanwhile, in the Si3N4 with MgO-Y2O3-Re2O3 (Re=Sm, Dy, La,Yb) added, the long columnar crystals are uniformly embedded in the smaller matrix grains, with self-strengthening and toughening. The bending strength is above 920 MPa, and the fracture toughness of indentation is above 6.93 MPa∙m1/2. Compared with traditional binary sintering assistant MgO-Re2O3, MgO-Y2O3-Re2O3 ternary additive has no regular influence on the microstructure, bending strength and fracture toughness of Si3N4 ceramics with the change of Re3+ radius, but its thermal conductivity increases with the decrease of Re3+ radius.

542 Effect of B4C particles on microstructure and mechanical properties of C/C-SiC composites
TANG Zhenxiao, PENG Ke, XIANG Qiuling, YI Jun, YI Maozhong
B4C particles modified C/C-SiC composites were prepared by slurry infiltration combined with precursor infiltration and pyrolysis. The effect of the addition of B4C particles on the mechanical properties of C/C-SiC composites was investigated. The results show that,the flexural strength and fracture toughness of B4C particles modified C/C-SiC composites are 250.41 MPa and 13.56 MPa·m1/2, respectively. Compared with C/C-SiC composites, the flexural strength decreases by 45.5%, the toughness increases by 46.0%. The B4C particles can promote the sintering of SiC matrix. However, the bending strength of the composites decrease due to the formation of a large number of closed pores and weak interfaces of the matrix. The main reason for the improvement of the fracture toughness of the C/C-SiC composites modified by B4C particles is that the weak interface between B4C particles and SiC matrix make the cracks deflect effectively in the SiC matrix, increase the propagation path of the cracks in the matrix, and improve the fracture toughness of the composites.

557 Effect of Co-doping of MgO and Y2O3 on the structure and properties of transparent alumina ceramics
LIANG Jianwei, HUANG Meipeng, LIU Wei, YANG Gao, LIAN Jiao, BO Tiezhu, XIE Zhipeng
Transparent alumina ceramic sheets were prepared by hydrogen sintering with micro-MgO, composite MgO+Y2O3 (mass ratio of MgO to Y2O3 is 1:1) and composite MgO+La2O3 as sintering assistants. The morphology of ceramic materials was observed by scanning electron microscopy, and the transmittance was measured by spectrophotometer. The effects of the types of sintering aids and the content of MgO+Y2O3 on the transmittance of transparent alumina ceramics were investigated. The results show that the addition of trace rare earth as a sintering assistants can inhibit grain growth, reduce the number of pores in the ceramic sheet, and increase the light transmittance of the alumina transparent ceramic. The transmittance the of the sample with the additive sintering assistant MgO+Y2O3 is significantly higher than the sample with the single sintering assistant MgO. When the contents of the composite sintering assistants MgO+Y2O3 are (0.02% to 0.05%) MgO+(0.02% to 0.05%) Y2O3 (mass fraction), a transparent alumina ceramic sheet with the total light transmittance of 80% or more is obtained. However, when excessive sintering assistants are added, the light transmittance of alumina ceramics will eventually decreases due to the increase in the number of stomata.
