PENG Zi-chao, XIE Fa-qin, WU Xiang-qing, ZHANG Jun. Effects of Compound Molten Salt on Undercooling of GH4169 Superalloy[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2013, 0(8): 11-15.
The method of molten salt denucleating was applied to study the rapid solidification of GH4169 superalloy. The best compound molten salt and process parameters were gained through orthogonal experiment, then the maximum undercooling, 250K, of GH4169 superalloy was achieved, at the same time, the mechanisms of molten salt and process parameters were also investigated; the solidification morphologies of the undercooled IN718 superalloy were found to be dependent on the degree of undercooling. Through observed the microstructures of GH4169 superalloy with variable undercooling, the solidification microstructure of IN718 underwent two grain refinement, which was transferred from dendrite structure to granular grain. When the undercooling achieved 250K, the average grain size was only 5.5μm.
ZHEN Wen-zhu, LIANG Bo. Tribological Behavior of Plasma Sprayed MoS2/Cu Composite Coating Under Vacuum Atmosphere[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2013, 0(8): 16-22.
MoS2/Cu composite coating was deposited by air plasma spraying on 2A12 aluminum alloy substrate using MoS2/Cu composite powder as raw material. Microstructure and wear surface of coating were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectra. The tribological properties of as-sprayed coating in vacuum were explored using GTM-3E ball-on-disc vacuum friction and wear instrument. The results showed that MoS2 particles were homogeneously distributed in the as-sprayed coating. The as-sprayed coating was dense and had good bonding with aluminum matrix. XRD analysis demonstrated that Cu, MoS2 and Cu2O phase were observed. Under the test conditions, the as-sprayed coating exhibited excellent friction reducing effect through the addition of MoS2 component, the obtained friction coefficients were in the range from 0.05 to 0.15. The low friction coefficient could be attributed to the formation of uniform MoS2 lubricating transfer film. The main wear mechanisms observed in vacuum were fatigue wear and brittle fracture.
WEI Yong-hui, ZHANG Yong-zhen, CHEN Yue. Dry-sliding Tribological Characteristics of CuZn Self-matched Pairs Under Interfering of Magnetic Field[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2013, 0(8): 23-27.
The dry-sliding tribological characteristics and interfering mechanism of magnetic field of CuZn self-matched pairs were studied by use of improved MPV-1500 type friction and wear tester at room temperature. The results show that, with the magnetic field exerting and increasing, the roughness of friction surface increases and oxygen content of friction surface reduces; the main oxides are Cu64O. Along with magnetic field intensity increasing, both wear rate of CuZn pins and average friction coefficient of friction pairs has enlarging tendency, that is, magnetic field aggravates the friction and wear of CuZn. Additions to ferromagnetic materials on the back of diamagnetic materials can overcome the adverse effects of magnetic field on tribological properties. Each of selecting and matching of friction pairs materials, relative size of friction surface and magnetism of clamping device can affect the results of tribological examination.

CHENG Cong-qian, FU Qin-qin, CAO Tie-shan, ZHAO Jie. Effect of Passive Film Quality on Corrosion Resistance of Austenitic Stainless Steel and Chromaticity Inspection[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2013, 0(8): 65-69.
Effect of passive film quality on corrosion resistance of 304 austenitic stainless steel after air exposure and chemical passivation was investigated by using electrochemical impedance spectra. A novel inspection of the film quality was proposed based on cathodic reduction and chromaticity inspection. The results show that the compactness of passive film and corrosion resistance for the sample after chemical passivation are superior to that after air exposure. The chromaticity measurement is dependent on the applied potential for the samples after air exposure. The chromaticity measured value increases with decreasing potentials when the applied potential is lower than the reduction potential of outer Fe-rich oxide in passive film. However, the chromaticity for the samples after chemical passivation is close to 0. Based on cyclic voltammetry, it reveals that the chemical passivation improves the corrosion resistance of 304 stainless steel by enhancing the compactness of inner Cr-rich oxide in passive film. Experimental results suggest that the chromaticity inspection could be utilized to numerically characterize the quality of passive film.

Then, the simulation and verification for microstructure evolution were carried out at the deformation temperature of 980, 1020, 1060℃ and 1120℃. The results showed that the double cone samples were in accordance with practice deformation situation. The prediction model of microstructure evolution was reasonable for using and it can achieve the real microstructure results for deformation.
