In this study, laser metal deposition (LMD) additive manufacturing was used to deposit the pure Inconel 625 alloy and the TiC/Inconel 625 composites with different starting sizes of TiC particles, respectively. The influence of the additive TiC particle and its original size on the constitutional phases, microstructural features, and mechanical properties of the LMD-processed parts was studied. The incorporation of TiC particles significantly changed the prominent texture of Ni–Cr matrix phase from (200) to (100). The bottom and side parts of each deposited track showed mostly the columnar dendrites, while the cellular dendrites were prevailing in the microstructure of the central zone of the deposited track. As the nano-TiC particles were added, more columnar dendrites were observed in the solidified molten pool. The incorporation of nano-TiC particles induced the formation of the significantly refined columnar dendrites with the secondary dendrite arms developed considerably well. With the micro-TiC particles added, the columnar dendrites were relatively coarsened and highly degenerated, with the secondary dendrite growth being entirely suppressed. The cellular dendrites were obviously refined by the additive TiC particles. When the nano-TiC particles were added to reinforce the Inconel 625, the significantly improved microhardness, tensile property, and wear property were obtained without sacrificing the ductility of the composites.
A heterogeneous catalyst CuO–CeO2 with
a hollow
structure was successfully synthesized by assembling CuO on the outer
surface of CeO2 hollow spheres through a layer-by-layer
deposition strategy. Further reduction under a H2 atmosphere
was carried out to modify its surface state, resulting in sample r-CuO–CeO2. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning
electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM),
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier transform-infrared
spectroscopy (FT-IR). SEM and TEM showed that the synthesized catalysts
had a hollow sphere structure, which can expose more active sites
and promote mass transfer. The results of XPS revealed that the content
of Cu0&Cu+ increased from 13.6 to 19.0%
after H2 reduction, which was conducive to the activation
of terminal alkyne to promote the annulation/A3-coupling
reaction. The conversion of this cascade reaction with the r-CuO–CeO2 catalyst can reach more than 95%, while the value was only
55% by using CuO–CeO2 as a catalyst. Moreover, the
r-CuO–CeO2 catalyst showed a good recycle property
and group compatibility in the general applicability of the cascade
annulation/A3-coupling reaction, providing a series of
propargylamine derivatives in good chemoselectivity.
The laser metal deposition (LMD) additive manufacturing process was applied to produce TiC/Inconel 625 composite parts. The high-temperature oxidation performance of the LMD-processed parts and the underlying physical/chemical mechanisms were systematically studied. The incorporation of the TiC reinforcement in the Inconel 625 improved the oxidation resistance of the LMD-processed parts, and the improvement function became more significant with increasing the TiC addition from 2.5wt. % to 5.0 wt. %. The mass gain after 100 h oxidation at 800 degrees C decreased from 1.4130 mg/cm(2) for the LMD-processed Inconel 625 to 0.3233 mg/cm(2) for the LMD-processed Inconel 625/5.0wt. % TiC composites. The oxidized surface of the LMD-processed Inconel 625 parts was mainly consisted of Cr2O3. For the LMD-processed TiC/Inconel 625 composites, the oxidized surface was composed of Cr2O3 and TiO2. The incorporation of the TiC reinforcing particles favored the inherent grain refinement in the LMD-processed composites and, therefore, the composite parts possessed the sound surface integrity after oxidation compared with the Inconel 625 parts under the same oxidation conditions. The LMD-processed TiC/Inconel 625 composites exhibited the excellent oxidation resistance under the oxidation temperature of 800 degrees C. A further increase in the oxidation temperature to 1000 degrees C caused the severe oxidation attack on the composites, due to the unfavorable further oxidation of Cr2O3 to CrO3 at the elevated treatment temperatures
