Aluminium plate was cladded to magnesium alloy plate by using the explosive welding. The bonding morphology and composition of the explosive cladding plate was inspected by SEM and EDS. There is a wave bonding at the interface between aluminum plate and magnesium alloy plate. Then ceramic coatings were directly prepared on the surface of aluminum and magnesium alloy by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) in the same solution and at the same time. The microstructure and composition of MAO coatings were studies by SEM and EDS. The corrosion and wear resistance of MAO coatings on the two sides of the clad plate were investigated by salt spray tests and friction-wear test. The results show that the MAO coating on the Al surface consists of Al, O and Si elements, while MAO coating on the Mg surface consists of Mg, O and Si elements. The corrosion resistance of MAO coating on the Al surface was better than that on Mg surface of the explosive clad plate. The MAO coatings both on the Al surface and on the Mg surface can obviously improve the wear resistance of substrate.
Gd2O3 (10mol%) doped SrHfO3 (Sr (Hf0.9Gd0.1)O2.95) was synthesized by solid state reaction method. The phase stability of the synthesized Sr (Hf0.9Gd0.1)O2.95 powder at high temperature of 1450 oC for a long period and in a temperature range of RT-1400 oC was characterized by XRD and DSC, respectively. The thermal expansion coefficients (TECs) of bulk Sr (Hf0.9Gd0.1)O2.95 were recorded by a high-temperature dilatometer, indicating that the phase transitions of SrHfO3 are suppressed remarkably by doping Gd2O3. The thermal conductivity of bulk Sr (Hf0.9Gd0.1)O2.95 at 1000 oC is ~1.95 W/m·K, which is ~11% lower than that of bulk 8YSZ.
Objective: to exam the impact of the gass relative humidity on the dielectric barrier discharge. Method: high voltage AC power supply and wire-cylinder reactors are used to observe the discharge characteristics of empty reactors and reactors with the ceramic filler respectively under different relative humidity circumstances. Results: in the empty reactors,the discharge current decreases with the increase of the gas relative humidity; in the reactors with ceramic filler,with the increase of the gas relative humidity, the discharge current first decreases slowly and then increases immensely. Conclusion: Relative humidity has a significant impact on gas discharge. By comparing the experimental results of the two groups, the conclusion is: when RH< 47%, the discharge current of the empty reactors is greater than that of the reactors with ceramic filler,and when RH > 47%,the result is just the opposite.
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.
