Nanostructured surface layer on metallic materials induced by surface mechanical attrition treatment
نویسندگان
چکیده
In terms of the grain refinement mechanism induced by plastic straining, a novel surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) was developed for synthesizing a nanostructured surface layer on metallic materials in order to upgrade the overall properties and performance. In this paper, the SMAT technique and the microstructure of the SMAT surface layer will be described. The grain refinement mechanism of the surface layer during the SMAT will be analyzed in terms of the microstructure observations in several typical materials. Obvious enhancements in mechanical properties and tribological properties of the nanostructured surface layer in different materials were observed. Further development and prospects will be addressed with respect to the SMAT as well as the performance and technological applications of the engineering materials with the nanostructured surface layer. © 2003 Elsevier B.V.

TiO2-SiO2 photocatalytic nanostructure film on windshield for self-cleaning purposes was prepared via sol–gel dip-coating method. TiO2 films were prepared on automotive glass pre-coated with a SiO2 layer by a dip-coating method followed by annealing at 500 °C for 30min. The films were characterized using X-ray diffraction XRD and scanning electron microscopy SEM, FE-SEM techniques. The TiO2-SiO...
متن کاملNitriding iron at lower temperatures.
The microstructure in the surface layer of a pure iron plate was refined at the nanometer scale by means of a surface mechanical attrition treatment that generates repetitive severe plastic deformation of the surface layer. The subsequent nitriding kinetics of the treated iron with the nanostructured surface layer were greatly enhanced, so that the nitriding temperature could be as low as 300 d...

In this study, the effect of platinum-aluminide coating parameters on surface roughness of nickel-based superalloy Rene®80 was evaluated. For this purpose, different thicknesses of Pt-layer (2, 4, 6 and 8µm) were plated on the Samples. Then diffusion aluminide coating in two types, high tempeature-low activity and low temperature-high activity was performed. The results of structural investigat...
متن کاملHigh-rate squeezing process of bulk metallic glasses
High-rate squeezing process of bulk metallic glasses from a cylinder into an intact sheet achieved by impact loading is investigated. Such a large deformation is caused by plastic flow, accompanied with geometrical confinement, shear banding/slipping, thermo softening, melting and joining. Temperature rise during the high-rate squeezing process makes a main effect. The inherent mechanisms are i...
