119 Effects of sintering aids Al2O3 and Y2O3 on the lithium ion conductivity of solid lithium ion electrolyte LLZO
LI Jian, JIANG Yixiong, ZHOU Hongming
The garnet-type ceramic electrolyte Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) with composition of xAl2O3-Li7La3Zr2O12 (x=0-0.4) and xY2O3-Li7La3Zr2O12 (x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and0.4) were synthesized by adding Al2O3 and Y2O3 as sintering aids and using Li2CO3, La2O3 and ZrO2 as raw materials. The effects of the contents of sintering aids Al2O3 and Y2O3 on the lithium ion conductivity of solid lithium ion electrolyte LLZO were studied. The results reveal that two kinds of sintering aids both can stabilize the cubic phase of garnet structure LLZO after sintered at 1 500 ℃ for 15 h. The LaAlO3 impurity phase is produced when Al2O3 is over added. The Li2ZrO3 and YO1.458 impurity phases are produced when Y2O3 is over added. Among these samples,0.2Y2O3-LLZO can stabilize the cubic phase from 1 100 ℃ to 1 200 ℃ and do not decompose when sintering at 1 150 ℃ for 27 h。The density of LLZO and the conductivity of lithium ion increase first and then decrease with increasing the content of sintering aids. The optimum additions of Al2O3 and Y2O3 are 0.2 and 0.3, respectively. The density and ionic conductivity of 0.2Al2O3-LLZO are 94% and 1.78×10-4 S/cm, respectively. The density and ionic conductivity of 0.3Y2O3-Li7La3Zr2O12 are 96% and 5.23×10-4 S/cm, respectively.

ZHOU Xialiang, CHEN Xiaoming, WU Yanming, ZHAO Jian, LIU Wei, MAO Pengzhan, WANG Lirong
To improve the slurry erosion resistance of turbine surface, nano-structured and micro-structured WC- 10Co4Cr coatings were prepared on stainless steel (0Cr13Ni4Mo) surface by HVOF. Microstructure of powders and coatings with different structure were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The micro-hardness, bonding strength and erosion resistance were compared. Erosion failure mechanism in the sandy stream was analyzed as well. The results show that the microstructure of nano-structured WC-10Co4Cr coating prepared by HOVF is dense. Its microhardness and bond strength are higher than that of conventional coating. As well, it is found that nano-structured coating exhibits lower erosion mass loss than that of micro-structure coating. Nano-structure coating has finer grains, higher microhardness and toughness, and better micro-cutting resistance and anti-fatigue spalling properties, and can enhance the slurry erosion resistance of the coating.

WANG Jin, SU Yuchang, TAN Jiang, ZHANG Jing, REBIGULI·Tursun, YU Qiushan, ZHAO Le
The CoFe2O4/BaTiO3 composite powder material was prepared by the combination of ferromagnetic cobalt ferrite and ferroelectric barium titanate by sol-gel method. The phase composition, molecular structure, micro- morphology, magnetic properties of the composite powder and ferroelectric properties of the sintered body were analyzed and characterized by XRD, infrared spectrometer(IR), SEM, TEM, vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM) and ferroelectric analyzer. The results show that the CoFe2O4/BaTiO3 composite powder prepared by sol-gel method is composed of cobalt ferrite and barium titanate phases. The morphology of the powder is spherical, and the particle size is uniform. The grain size increases with the increase of synthetic temperature. The magnetic properties of the material increase with increasing the ratio of cobalt ferrite. When the molar ratio of cobalt ferrite and barium titanate is n(CoFe2O4):n(BaTiO3)=2:1, the saturation magnetization intensity of the composite is 40.01 (A∙m2)/kg, and the residual magnetization intensity is 20.59 (A∙m2)/kg. Meanwhile, a ceramic was prepared using this powder. The electric field is 4.12×106 V/m, and the remanent polarization is 0.30 C/m2. It has good ferromagnetic and ferroelectric properties at the same time.

137 Effects of HfC addition on plasma flame flow ablation resistance of molybdenum-tungsten alloys and its mechanism analysis
YANG Lilin, ZHANG Qifu, HE Zhiyong, LI Xiaogang
The plasma ablation system combined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in this work were used to investigate the effects of different amounts of HfC particles on ablation performance and ablation morphology of sintered and rolled molybdenum-tungsten (Mo-W) alloys. Also, the high temperature ablation mechanism of the alloys was further discussed. The results show that the addition of HfC can significantly improve the ablation resistance of the alloys, including sintered and rolled alloys. The ablation resistance of the rolled alloys is obviously better than that of the sintered alloys due to the formation of lamellar structure and eliminating the internal defects (such as pores and impurity) after the rolled treatment. Compared with oxyacetylene ablation experiment, the plasma ablation experiment has protective gas along with strong impact force during ablation process. The ablation process is mainly physical and mechanical ablation. HfC doping mechanism is mainly because of its high melting point as a stagnation point. On the other hand, a small amount of HfO2 film formed on the substrate also has protection effect. As a result, high temperature ablation property of Mo-W alloys is increased.

147 Effects of expanded graphite on the current carrying tribological properties of phosphor-bronze fiber brush
LUO Bo, JING Guiru, LI Changjiang, ZHANG Lei
A fiber brush was prepared by rolling the fiber bundle with expanded graphite paper using phosphor-bronze fibers with diameter of 50 μm as the main material and expanded graphite paper as the lubricant. The effects of expanded graphite content on the electric contact property and current carrying tribological properties of the fiber brush were studied. The results show that, a three-dimensional brush structure with uniform dispersion of fibers was constructed through bending the phosphor-bronze fibers, which leads to a lower elastic constant and appropriate compression strength of the fiber brush. The bent phosphor-bronze fiber brush, compared to the unbent phosphor-bronze fiber brush with the same packing fraction of fiber (17.5%), possesses slightly higher compressive strength (2.69 MPa vs 2.62 MPa) and lower elastic constants (149.5 N/mm vs 428.8 N/mm). The friction and wear properties of the brushes increase while the electrical contact property decreases. With the content of expanded graphite increasing from 6.2% to 29.1%, the friction coefficient decreases from 0.67 to 0.25, and the contact voltage drop increases from 244.86 mV to 427.81 mV. Otherwise, the asymmetric wear behavior of the phosphor-bronze fiber brush can be suppressed by the lubricating effect of expanded graphite. The wear rates of the negative and positive brush without expanded graphite are 5.83×10-9 m/m and 1.12×10-8 m/m respectively. As the content of expanded graphite increases to 29.1%, the wear rate of the negative and positive brush decrease to 0.44×10-9 m/m and 0.53×10-9 m/m respectively.

157 Effects of Cd element on the deposition process of Al-4Cu alloy
GONG Zhu, ZHENG Ziqiao
The effects of trace addition of Cd elements on Al-Cu alloy were investigated by the micro-hardness test, tensile test and transmission electron observation (TEM). The results indicate that due to the strong interaction between Cd elements and vacancies, when the alloys are aged at 100 ℃, the additon of trace Cd inhibits the formation of GP zones, and it further decreases the aging reponse rate, the peak-aging hardness and tensile strength. When the alloys are aged at 150 ℃, the Cd-rich particles in Al-Cu-Cd alloy will act as heterogeneous nucleation position of θ′ phases and then promote the precipitation of θ′ phases is (110)Cd‖(001)Al‖(001)θ, which improves the tensile strength of the alloy. The orientation relationship of Cd particles θ′ phases and Al-matrix.

LI Yue, ZHANG Ruiqian, YANG Ping, CHEN Zhaoke, HE Zongbei, XIONG Xiang
The tubular SiCf/SiC composite materials were prepared by depositing SiC-PyC-SiC multi-interlayers on the SiC fibers with 2.5D curved shallow-crossing linking structure densified with SiC matrix using CH3SiCl3-H2-Ar system by chemical vapor infiltration (CVI). The phase composition, microstructure, axial compression, radial crushing and circumferential tension and fracture morphology of SiCf/SiC composites were investigated. The results show that SiCf/SiC composites are mainly composed of SiC fiber, SiC-PyC-SiC multi-interlayers and SiC matrix. In the SiC-PyC-SiC multi-interlayers, the thickness of PyC interlayers is 700-800 nm, the thickness of SiC interface is 400-500 nm, and SiC matrix is mainly β-SiC phase. After densification, the density of SiCf/SiC composites is 2.50-2.58 g/cm3, and the porosity is 7.70%-9.10%. The axial compressive strength of SiCf/SiC composites is 53.2 MPa, and the radial crushing strength is 38.18 MPa. Compression is expressed as a shear failure in the 45° direction with the horizontal plane

172 Microstructur and mechanical properties of the friction stir welded joint of 7020 aluminum alloy
CHEN Xiangrong, ZHENG Ziqiao
The microstructure and mechanical properties of friction stir welded 7020-T6 alloy were investigated by micro-hardness test, tensile mechanical properties test, metangraphic microscope, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that the hardness distribution appears as the W-shaped profile in alloy weld zone and reaches to minimum in HMAZ/HAZ. The tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and welding coefficient of the welded joint are 352 MPa, 223 MPa, 9.8% and 86.9%, respectively. The grain structure shows significant difference in the welded zone. The fine and dispersive precipitates of CP zone and η° phase formed after artificial aging (90 ℃/8 h+135 ℃/16 h) in base metal are dissolved during the process of friction stir weld and re- precipitate later, but the size and density of precipitates in welded joint are much smaller than base metal.

KUANG Daitao, WEN Xiang, LIANG Bingbing, HOU Lizhen, MA Songshan, WANG Shiliang
Ultra-small Ni-C core-shell nanoparticles were synthesized by the metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) using Ni(acac)2 as precursor. The structure and magnetic properties of the as-synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, Raman spectroscopy, TEM and Physical Property Measurement System respectively. The Ni nanocores have an average diameter of 13 nm, and are encapsulated by C shells with the thickness of 1-3 nm. The Ni-C core-shell nanoparticles have a saturation magnetic moment of 24.5 emu/g, coercivity of 65.5 Oe which is much smaller than the corresponding values of bulk Ni and Ni-C core-shell nanoparticles which are 20 nm in diameters. In the microwave absorption tests, a low reflection loss (RL) of -48.7 dB and a large effective bandwidth (frequency range for RL≤-10 dB) of 7.4 GHz are obtained from the composites of small Ni-C core-shell nanoparticles and paraffin. This suggests that the as-synthesized ultra-small Co-C core-shell nanoparticles have a high potential as the microwave- absorbing materials.

186 Deposition of MoSx self-lubricating coatings by cathodic arc plating with ion source
LI Zhujun, LIU Yifei, TIAN Canxin, YANG Bing, FU Dejun, SU Fenghua
MoSx self-lubricating coatings was deposited on crystal Si and cemented carbide substrates using Ar, H2S and metal molybdenum as S and Mo source by arc ion plating, by hollow cathode arc ion source. The effects of H2S flow rate on microstructure and mechanical properties of the coatings were systemically investigated. The results show that the H2S flow rate has a significant effect on crystalline structure, micro-hardness and friction coefficient of MoSx coating. With the increase of H2S flow rate, the grain size of Mo decreases while the content of MoSx increases in the coatings. The microhardness and average friction coefficients decrease with increasing the H2S flow rate. The average friction coefficients are lower than 0.35 (mating cemented carbide). The H2S can be used for MoSx self-lubricating coating deposition. The structure of MoSx coatings deposited by arc ion plating is Mo nanocrystalline embedded in MoS, MoS2 amorphous phase matrix.

192 Microstructure and properties of TiCN-Mo coatings prepared by reactive plasma spraying
NI Pan, NIU Jinghui, LIU Hongbing, ZHANG Haifeng, MENG Hailong, JIANG Dehua, GONG Yue, SHAO Lin
Three types of TiCN-Mo coatings with different Mo contents were deposited on steel substrate surface by reactive plasma spraying. The phase composition and microstructures of as-sprayed coatings were investigated by XRD, SEM and EDS. A Vickers microhardness test was used to measure the microhardness and indentation fractures of the coatings. In addition, a statistics method of Weibull distribution was used to examine the microhardness scattering. The results show that all coatings consist of TiC0.7N0.3, TiN, Mo, minor Ti2O and molybdenum oxides. Metal Mo in white color is evenly distributed around TiCN to form a dense microstructure, which presents an alternately stacked characteristic. The Weibull distribution of the microhardness of three coatings is dominated by apparent scattering. Compared to the monolithic TiCN coatings, the as-sprayed coating with 10% Mo displays a relatively low scattering characteristic of Vickers microhardness and a dense microstructure as well as high indention toughness and strength.

YANG Hongzhi, ZOU Jianpeng, YI Chenqi, LENG Xian
NiO hollow microspheres with micro-nano hierarchical structure were synthesized using lysine as the structure regulator, nickel chloride and ammonia as raw materials through hydrothermal synthesis and calcination method. The microstructure and phase composition of NiO materials were characterized by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and other detection methods. The results show that the prepared hierarchical NiO hollow microspheres with different sizes are well distributed, and the particle size is about 2-3 μm, which is stacked by of many NiO nanosheets. The length of the NiO flakes with clear edges is about 400-600 nm, while the thickness is only about 40-50 nm. Excellent dispersibility and spherical morphology of NiO microspheres can be obtained with addition of 0.6 g lysine at the reaction temperature of 40 ℃ as well as the hydrothermal time of 6 h. In addition, the obtained NiO sphere is hollow, with many flakes stacked and crossed to form a hierarchical structure. Such a unique structure can provide high porosity and specific surface area as well as open channels, all of which are beneficial to the diffusion and migration of both electrolyte ions and electrons. As working electrode, the specific capacitance of the prepared hierarchical NiO hollow microspheres can reach 1 340 F/g in the current density of 1 A/g using the three electrode system and after 1 000 cycles, and the capacity retention rate is 96.5%, showing superior electrochemical performance.

ZHAO Qian, XU Xiaojing, RU Jinming, SHI Xiaodong, WANG Ya
(Ti-8Si)-xCu (x=0, 5, 10 and 20%) alloy were prepared by powder metallurgy method using Ti, Si and Cu powder as raw materials. The effects of Cu content on the hardness and friction and wear properties at room temperature of Ti-8Si alloy were studied through hardness testing, room temperature dry sliding friction test and observation and analysis of the friction surface morphology and element composition. The results show that, adding Cu powder can improve the hardness of Ti-8Si alloy. The hardness of (Ti-8Si)-5Cu alloy is the highest, HV reaches 1 434.4, which is 40.4% higher than that of Ti-8Si alloy (1 021.5). The surface hardness of (Ti-8Si)-10Cu is almost equal to that of (Ti-8Si)-20Cu alloy, and HV is 1 180.9 and 1 171.9 respectively. The friction coefficient of the alloy increases from 0.36 to 0.6 by adding Cu. However, adding the appropriate amount of Cu can obviously improve the wear resistance of the alloy, and the volume wear volume (0.014 3 mm3) of 95 (Ti-8Si)-5Cu alloy is about half of the Ti-8Si alloy (0.026 2 mm3). The wear volume of (Ti-8Si)-10Cu alloy is reduced by 13.7% than Ti-8Si alloy. The wear volume of the (Ti-8Si)-20Cu alloy increases sharply to 2.5 times that of the Ti-8Si alloy. The wear forms of 95 (Ti-8Si)-5Cu alloy are mainly abrasive wear and adhesive wear, accompanied by slight oxidation wear. The other 3 alloys are mainly fatigue wear and oxidation wear, with a certain degree of abrasive wear and adhesive wear.
