Different ceramic coatings were prepared on the surface of 2024 aviation aluminum alloy using micro-arc oxidation process in silicate based electrolyte combined with the rare earth based compound Y(NO 3 ) 3 ⋅6H 2 O. The thickness, hardness of the coating and conductivity of electrolyte were tested using relative devices, morphology and chemical composition were studied by scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectroscope, respectively. The phase composition of the coatings was characterized by X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Furthermore, the corrosion resistance of the coating was evaluated by an electrochemical workstation. The results showed that the addition of Y(NO 3 ) 3 ⋅6H 2 O could improve the thickness and hardness of the coating. The morphological observation of the coating showed that Y(NO 3 ) 3 ⋅6H 2 O was successfully incorporated into the ceramic layer and that the coating had the smallest porosity at 1.5 g/L Y(NO 3 ) 3 . The phase composition of the coating was mainly γ-Al 2 O 3 , α-Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 , Y 2 O 3 , and AlPO 4 . The corrosion resistance of coating in simulated seawater with the addition of Y(NO 3 ) 3 ⋅6H 2 O was significantly improved, and the values of |Z| 0.01 Hz and corrosion rate of the coating reached the maximum and minimum at 1.5 g/L Y(NO 3 ) 3 , which were 5.63 × 10 5 Ω cm 2 and 7.444 × 10 −4 mm/a, respectively.
Maximum ellipsoidal magnitude of the droplet is an important basic parameter for calculating drag force, droplets axial-velocity and dispersed-phase pressure gradient in an annular-mist pipe flow. An analytical correlation to predict the maximum ellipsoidal magnitude of a low-viscosity droplet in a parallel gas stream based on energy conservation and volume conservation. Stagnant pressure distribution on droplet surface is revised from Flachsbart's formula. The proposed correlation has clear physical meaning and easy to use. The correlation captures the deformation mechanism with an average absolute percent error of 9.53. The effect of stagnant pressure distribution on the proposed correlation's accuracy is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
