Hardness and electrochemical behavior of ceramic coatings on Inconel

Thin films of ceramic materials like alumina and silicon carbide are deposited on Inconel substrate by pulsed laser deposition technique using Q-switched Nd: YAG laser. Deposited films are characterized using UV-visible spectrophotometry and X-ray diffraction. Composite microhardness of ceramic coated Inconel system is measured using Knoop indenter and its film hardness is separated using a mat...

The Effect of Microsilica and Aluminum Metal Powder on the Densification Parameters, Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Alumina–Mullite Ceramic Composites

Microsilica, or silica fume, is an amorphous type of silica mostly collected as byproduct of the silicon and ferrosilicon alloy production. In this work, low shrinkage alumina-mullite ceramic composites were prepared from mixtures of calcined alumina, silica fume and aluminum metal powder and sintered at 1550 o C for 2 hrs. The influence of silica fume and aluminum powder on the densification p...

Gradual Change of Pulse Parameters as a New Strategy for Synthesis of Functionally Graded Ni-Cr Coatings

Synthesis of functionally gradient coating was the main goal of researches to cover some deficiencies of metallic coatings. In this study, a new strategy for generating functionally gradient coatings of nickel-chromium on a carbon steel substrate using pulse electrodeposition has been presented. The gradual changes of the duty cycle and pulse frequency were used to generate the functionally gra...

The Effect of Zircon on Long-Time Corrosion Resistance of Alumina

Corrosion resistance of zircon reinforced alumina refractories has been carried out through static crucible test. The corrosion measurements with percentage, the penetration depth of molten steel and the microstructure of the refractories were evaluated after soaking 150 h at the temperature of 1500˚C. Results showed that the corrosion resistance of alumina increased by adding 20 wt% zirc...
