    Fabrication and characterization of Pd/porous TiAl alloy composite membrane for hydrogen separation
    Chinese Journal of Materials Research, 2008, 22 (5): 454-460. 
    Abstract   PDF (975KB) ( 1257 )
    Porous TiAl alloy substrate , whose maximum pore size is about 2μm, was fabricated with titanium and aluminum elemental powders by P/M technique with pressure sintering.The palladium composite membrane was fabricated by electroless plating. It was proved that the membrane obtained in the experiment was pure palladium by X-Ray diffraction result. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) showed that the surface membrane was dense and its thickness was about 10μm. The advantages of porous TiAl alloy as substrate of palladium membrane were discussed through three aspects (lattice matching, Linear expansion coefficients proximity and controllability of pore structure ). The trace analysis results of chemical constitutions of electroless plating baths after the electroless plating showed that the influence of TiAl alloy substrate to the stability of electroless plating baths was slight. The interdiffusion in high temperature between TiAl alloy and palladium was analysed by a heat treatment at 600℃ for 96 hours. A gas permeation experiment was conducted under temperature of 400–500℃ and pressure of 0.02–0.18MPa. Hydrogen permeance and selectivity of hydrogen/nitrogen (H2/N2) were 6.8×10−7 molm−2 s−1 Pa−1 and greater than 628 at 500℃, respectively.

    Fabrication and sintering of Pt electrode deposited by screen printing method
    ;
    Chinese Journal of Materials Research, 2008, 22 (5): 479-484. 
    Abstract   PDF (863KB) ( 1281 )
    Single layer and double layer Pt bottom electrodes for functional ceramic thick films have been screen printed on alumina substrates. The effects of sintering temperature, heating rate, and thickness of the Pt electrode layer on the pattern, alumina surface coverage, and the roughness of the electrode layer have been studied. The mechanism of grain and pore growth and densification of the Pt layer is also demonstrated. The difference in activation energy and the diffusion can be due to the presence of carbon impurities, whick influences the diffusion of Pt at low temperatures. As the first layer sintered at 600℃, the double print Pt layers with sequential heat treatments at 1200℃ exhibt improved densification and surface coverage. The double print Pt layers with the minimum average roughness of 0.82μm and the smallest sheet resistivity of 0.044have been produced on alumina substrates.

    Effect of cooling rates on the microstructure of proeutectoid ferrite in Fe-0.76%C alloy under high magnetic field
    GONG Ming-Long
    Chinese Journal of Materials Research, 2008, 22 (5): 490-494. 
    Abstract   PDF (677KB) ( 1176 )
    the present studies are to investigate the microstructure features of proeutectoid ferrite during transformation from austenite to ferrite at different cooling rates (0.5℃/min,2℃/min and 5℃/min) without and with applying the magnetic field(12T) on Fe-0.76%C alloy. It’s found that the preutectoid ferrite grains elongated along the magnetic field direction, and the angle between the major axis of proeutectoid ferrite and magnetic field direction was decreased with the cooling rates increasing. The most possible reason is that the preutectoid ferrite became the magnetic dipolar under high magnetic field, but the magnetic dipolar is far away the another one, and the diffusion of atom was weaken at quick relativelycooling rates.

    Sheng-Fa ZHU
    Chinese Journal of Materials Research, 2008, 22 (5): 495-499. 
    Abstract   PDF (700KB) ( 1194 )
    Iron thin film were deposited on silicon substrate using filter cathode vacuum arc. Composition and valence studies were carried out by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS); Glancing angle X-ray diffraction (GAXRD) was employed to examine the phase structure. In vitro blood compatibility tests, including platelet adherent, prothrombin time(PT) and thrombin time(TT), were used to evaluate the antithrombogenic properties. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy were employed to evaluate the surface morphology of the blood platelets on the films. The results have shown that the number of adherent platelets, the aggregation and pseudopodium were reduced compared to that observed on the 316L stainless steel. The PT and TT for iron thin films are almost the same as for the original plasma, which indicates that the tendency for activating blood coagulation factors is very slight.

    Electrochemical properties of amorphous Ni-S-Co alloy in alkaline medium
    Chinese Journal of Materials Research, 2008, 22 (5): 505-509. 
    Abstract   PDF (621KB) ( 1210 )
    Ni-S-Co alloy was obtained through electrodeposition in a modified Watts bath by adding thiourea (TU) and CoCl2 into the bath. The amorphous structure was determined by XRD. The contents of S and Co were measured by EPMA. The electrochemical parameters such as the hydrogen evolution reaction overvoltage (η) being 70 mV at 150 mA•cm-2, the Tafel slope b, the exchange current density i0 and the activation energies ΔH* were obtained. Much higher electrochemical activity of amorphous Ni-S-Co cathode than other electrodes including amorphous Ni-S electrode is determined. The results that the HER mechanism is a fast Volmer reaction following a slow Heyrovsky reaction and the high electrocatalytic HER property is mainly due to the large amount of adsorbed H atoms is obtained by the steady-state behaviors of amorphous Ni-S-Co alloy in alkaline media at various pH and the cyclic voltammetric curves.

    Very High Cycle Fatigue Fracture Behavior of High Strength Spring Steel
    Chinese Journal of Materials Research, 2008, 22 (5): 526-532. 
    Abstract   PDF (1005KB) ( 1377 )
    The very high cycle fatigue fracture behavior of three heats commercial spring steels 60Si2CrVA were studied by using ultrasonic fatigue test and fatigue crack propagation rate test. The experimental results indicate that fatigue failures originated mainly from large oxide inclusions. There was significant difference of the very high cycle fatigue properties of the tested three heats, although their oxygen content is equal. Further investigation reveals that this difference was mainly caused by the difference of inclusion size. That is to say, both fatigue life and fatigue strength increase with decreasing inclusion size. It was also found that in the case of internal inclusion-induced fractures at cycles beyond about 1×106, a fish-eye area was usually seen on the fracture surface, and inclusion was usually observed inside the fish-eye and a granular bright facet (GBF) was found in the vicinity around the inclusion. Further investigation of heat A-60 reveals that the stress intensity factor range at crack initiation site of inclusion ΔKinc had the trend to decrease gradually with increasing the number of cycles to failure Nf. However, the stress intensity factor range of GBF ΔKGBF had the trend to be almost constant with Nf with an average value of about 4.6 MPa•m1/2, which is very close to the fatigue crack propagation threshold of about 4.3 MPa•m1/2.

    ;
    Chinese Journal of Materials Research, 2008, 22 (5): 533-538. 
    Abstract   PDF (827KB) ( 1109 )
    In this paper, a series of monolithic catalysts, which nickel foams were used as the support, were prepared and their catalytic performance in the synthesis of dioctyl phthalate (DOP) were studied. The active components of the monolithic catalyst are SnO and Sn. The effect of current density and electroplating temperature on the electroplating rate and the catalytic activity of the catalysts were investigated. The influence of the calcination process on the catalytic activity of the catalysts was studied. The life and the deactivation reason of the catalyst were also discussed. The results show that these monolithic catalysts have good catalytic activity and selectivity in DOP synthesis. When Sn/Ni-3(300) is used as the catalyst, the conversion of phthalic anhydride (PA) reaches 96.75% in 1h and the DOP selectivity reaches above 97% when the reaction reaches equilibrium. Moreover, the catalysts can be easily separated from the reaction mixture and be reused without any treatment.

    The influence of multi heat-treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of TC4 alloy
    Chinese Journal of Materials Research, 2008, 22 (5): 555-560. 
    Abstract   PDF (1352KB) ( 1926 )
    The influence of multi heat-treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of TC4 alloy is discussed in this article. The first heat-treatment of multi-treatment was executed in single  phase region following air cooling or water quenching. The secondary heat-treatment was operated at different temperatures in + phase region, also following different cooling rates. Finally, the aging treatment was executed. The results show that multi heat-treatment can modulate the morphology of microstructure, including length/thickness ratio of  lamella and the morphology of fine secondary  . Mechanical experiments results show that certain multi heat-treatment can enhance both tensile properties and fracture toughness, the bi-lamellar microstructure can improve the resistance to crack propagation.
