The research on the graphene application for the electrodeposition of nickel composite coatings was conducted. The study assessed an important role of graphene in an increased corrosion resistance of these coatings. Watts-type nickel plating bath with low concentration of nickel ions, organic addition agents, and graphene as dispersed particles were used for deposition of the composite coatings nickel-graphene. The results of investigations of composite coatings nickel-graphene deposited from the bath containing 0.33, 0.5, and 1 g/dm 3 graphene and one surface-active substance were shown. The contents of particles in coatings, the surface morphology, the cross-sectional structures of the coated samples, and their thickness and the internal stresses were studied. Voltammetric method was used for examination of the corrosion resistance of samples of composite coatings in 0.5 M NaCl. The obtained results suggest that the content of incorporated graphene particles increases with an increasing amount of graphene in plating bath. The application of organic compounds was advantageous because it caused compressive stresses in the deposited coatings. All of the nickel-graphene composite layers had better corrosion resistance than the nickel coating.
Compact Cu matrix composites reinforced with graphene were prepared by thermochemical processes and cold isostatic pressing. Thermophysical properties were investigated using laser flash analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and dilatometry. From the results of the measurements, it follows that within the entire investigated temperature range, both the thermal diffusivity and the calculated values therefrom of the thermal conductivity of copper-graphene composites change according to the temperature changes. Above 500°C, abnormal decrease of the thermal diffusivity was registered for sample prepared from pure copper powder. In this case, the elevated temperature of test could cause sintering of copper particles, which were not coated by graphene. The as-received composites had higher thermal diffusivity and the thermal conductivity at the room temperature in comparison to the material obtained by standard pressing of pure copper powder. However, the production methods of some samples could cause their partial sintering. Based on the study, it could not be concluded that graphene only has impacts on the thermophysical properties.
Results are presented of a study on combining Abstract: cryogenic treatment with peening of a hot-work tool steel. Various processing modes and combinations were applied to Böhler W300 steel specimens. Basic material properties, such as surface hardness, cross-section hardness profiles, value and state of residual stresses and resistance to wear at elevated temperatures, were measured and evaluated. Research work showed the advantageous influence of cryogenic treatment performed after the toughening and shot peening, on the properties of the steel. The specimens treated in this way were characterised by the highest surface hardness, favourable profile of the surface cross-section hardness and beneficial conditions of the compressive residual stress in the surface layer. Combination of peening and cryogenic treatment also led to the best wear resistance factors. Results of laboratory investigations were additionally supported by testing of actual hot-work die inserts.
The article compared the results of theoretical calculations with results of actual temperature measurements of detonation sprayed NiCrBSi powder heated by the impact of the detonation products stream. Theoretical distributions of temperature in the powder particle were calculated by the Finite Element Method FEM, using the COSMOS/M program algorithm. In the absence of the heat transfer equations in the solid state being in movement, which is influenced by dynamic heat wave, the conduction mechanism described by Fourier's law was adopted. Experimental temperature measurements as a function of the acceleration path length were conducted using an own construction two-channel pyrometric system. The obtained data confirmed good agreement between the results obtained using FEM calculations method and results of experimental measurements using the pyrometric devices.Keywords: NiCrBSi powder, detonation spraying, Finite Element Method, pyrometric system W artykule porównano wyniki obliczeń teoretycznych z wynikami rzeczywistych pomiarów temperatury proszku NiCrBSi natryskiwanego detonacyjnie nagrzewanego na skutek oddziaływania strumienia produktów detonacji. Teoretyczny rozkłady temperatury w cząstce proszku obliczano metodą elementów skończonych MES, wykorzystując algorytm programu COSMOS/M. Z braku równań opisujących wymianę ciepła w ciele stałym będącym w ruchu, na które oddziałuje dynamicznie fala cieplna, przyjęto mechanizm przewodzenia opisany prawem Fouriera. Doświadczalne pomiary temperatury w funkcji długości drogi przyśpieszenia prowadzono wykorzystując dwukanałowy układ pirometryczny własnej konstrukcji. Uzyskane dane potwierdziły dobrą zgodność pomiędzy wynikami otrzymanymi przy zastosowaniu obliczeń metodą MES, a wynikami pomiarów doświadczalnych wykorzystujących pomiary pirometryczne.
