Microstructure and corrosion performance of a cold sprayed aluminium coating on AZ91D magnesium alloy

Abstract: A pure Al coating was deposited on AZ91D magnesium alloy through cold spray (CS) technique. The microstructure of the coating was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that the grain interfaces and subgrains formed close to the particle/particle boundaries. Electrochemical tests revealed that the cold sprayed pure Al coating had better pitting corrosion resistance than bulk pure Al with similar purity in neutral 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. In addition, a mass-transfer step was found to be involved in the corrosion during 10 days immersion.

Effect of α-Al2O3 on the properties of cold sprayed Al/α-Al2O3 composite coatings on AZ91D magnesium alloy

Abstract: Composite coatings using pure Al powder blended with α-Al 2 O 3 as feedstock were deposited on AZ91D magnesium alloy substrates by cold spray (CS). The content of α-Al 2 O 3 in the feedstock was 25 wt.% and 50 wt.%, respectively. The effects of α-Al 2 O 3 on the porosity, microhardness, adhesion and tensile strength of the coatings were studied. Electrochemical tests were carried out in neutral 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution to evaluate the effect of α-Al 2 O 3 on the corrosion behavior of the coatings. The results showed that the composite coatings possessed lower porosity, higher adhesion strength and tensile strength than cold sprayed pure Al coating. The corrosion current densities of the composite coatings were similar to that of the pure Al coating and much higher than that of bare AZ91D magnesium alloy.

Tungsten and nitrogen co-doped TiO2 nano-powders with strong visible light response

Abstract: A two-step method, combining with sol-gel and mechanical alloying (MA) method, was used to fabricate the tungsten and nitrogen co-doped TiO2 nano-powders ((W, N) co-doped TiO2 NPs). The (W, N) co-doped TiO2 NPs showed strong absorbance in visible range, as long as 650 nm. Enhanced photocatalytic activities under visible light irradiation were also observed from the results of photodegradation experiments and chemical oxygen demand (COD) analysis. Physical, chemical, and optical properties of the samples were investigated. Possible reasons for the enhanced photocatalytic activities were analyzed based on the experimental results. Oxygen vacancies detected by electron spin response (ESR) spectra, acting as trapping agencies for electrons (e(-)) to produce active oxygen species (O-center dot(2-)), were proved to be the main cause for the improved photocatalytic performances.

Preparation and hot corrosion behaviour of an Al-gradient NiCoCrAlYSiB coating on a Ni-base superalloy

Abstract: A gradient NiCoCrAlYSiB coating was prepared on a Ni-base superalloy using arc ion plating (AIP) and subsequent gaseous phase aluminisation techniques. Hot corrosion of normal NiCoCrAlYSiB and the gradient coating in pure Na(2)SO(4) and Na(2)SO(4)/NaCl (75:25, wt./wt.) salts was performed at 900 degrees C in static air. The corrosion results indicated an enhanced corrosion resistance to both salts for the gradient NiCoCrAlYSiB coating, which the improved performance of it should be attributed to the beta aluminide "pool" at the surface layer. By partially sacrificing Al(2)O(3) (i.e. Al), the gradient NiCoCrAlYSiB coating specimen behaved excellently in the two kinds of salts. The grain growth during the gaseous phase aluminisation and the corrosion mechanism, including the role NaCl played in the mixture salt corrosion, are discussed. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

Phosphorous, nitrogen, and molybdenum ternary co-doped TiO2: preparation and photocatalytic activities under visible light

Abstract: P, N, and Mo ternary co-doped nano TiO2 photocatalysts ((P, N, Mo)-TiO2) were prepared by a single step sol–gel method, which show much enhanced photocatalytic activities over Mo-TiO2, (P, N)-TiO2, un-doped TiO2 and Degussa P25 under visible light irradiation. The degradation rate of 0.72Mo–P-TiO2 is as high as 65.3%, which is about 6.7 times of that of Degussa P25. Possible reasons for the improvement of photocatalytic activities were analyzed.

Preparation of highly visible-light active N-doped TiO2 photocatalyst

Abstract: A series of N-doped anatase TiO2 samples have been prepared using a solvothermal method in an organic amine/ethanol–water reaction system. The effects of different starting N : Ti atomic ratios on the catalysts structure, surface property and catalytic activity have been investigated. The photocatalytic activity and stability of the N-doped TiO2 samples were evaluated through using the decomposition of Methylene blue (MB) and Methyl orange (MO) as model reaction under visible light irradiation. Characterization results show that the nitrogen dopant has a significant effect on the crystallite size and optical absorption of TiO2. It was found that the N-doped TiO2 catalysts have enhanced absorption in the visible light region, and exhibit higher activity for photocatalytic degradation of model dyes (e.g. MB and MO). The catalyst with the highest performance was the one prepared using N : Ti molar ratio of 1.0. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurement suggests the materials contain Ti 3+ ions, with both the degree of N doping and oxygen vacancies make contributions to the visible light absorption of TON. The presence of superoxide radicals (O u � ) and hydroxyl radicals (OH) on the surface of TON were found to be responsible for MB and MO solution decoloration under visible light. Based on the results of the present study, a visible light induced photocatalytic mechanism has been proposed for N-doped anatase TiO2.

Development of modified N doped TiO2 photocatalyst with metals, nonmetals and metal oxides

Abstract: This paper presents a critical review of novel achievements in the modification of N–TiO2 photocatalytic systems aimed at enhancing TiO2 applications in the areas of energy conversion and environmental clean-up. Herein we studied the synthesis, physical properties, as well as synergism of modified N-doped TiO2. Based on the studies reported in the literature, metal, nonmetal and metal oxide modified N–TiO2 are very effective systems to extend the activating spectra to the visible range. Therefore, modified N–TiO2 play an important role in the development of efficient photocatalysts for future perspectives.
