In this paper, we studied the oxidation behavior in AA7075 containing TiB2 nanoparticles. The results indicate that nanoparticles play distinctive roles during coupled processes. At a lower temperature, ruptures Al2O3 film and refine microstructure morphology. Above solutionizing point, Zn proceeds deeply into matrix, partially block diffusion path to increase gradient. TiB2-regulated is respon...

The structural and oxidation behavior of nanocomposite titanium chromium nitride (TiCrN) thin films has been investigated by using x-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). TiCrN were deposited on Si substrates the reactive DC magnetron sputtering technique from Ti-Cr mosaic target. After that, as-deposited annealed in a...

We analyze the early stage of the highly anisotropic silicon carbide oxidation behavior with reactive force field molecular dynamics simulations. The oxidation of a-, C,- m-, and Si-crystallographic faces is studied at typical industry-focused temperatures in the range from 900 to 1200 °C based on the time evolution of the oxidation mechanism. The oxide thicknesses and the growth rates are obta...
