The application of niobium borides to components such as lamination cylinders, hightemperature devices, and medical equipment shows their importance and versatility in engineering. To improve niobium’s mechanical resistance and possible oxidation resistance at temperature, this research applied boronizing to pure niobium, carried out with double pack cementation. Boronizing at 950°C and 1,100°C was carried out for 1 and 4 h. Ekabor commercial pack mixture with a nominal chemical composition of 90 % silicon carbide, 5 % boron carbide, and 5 % potassium tetrafluoroborate was used with and without 10 percent by weight (wt%) silicon addition. Scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analyses and microhardness tests were used to characterize the treated samples. A continuous high-hardness 2,394-HV0.1 (23.5 GPa) niobium diboride layer was formed at the surface of the niobium substrate. A maximum layer thickness of 53.6 ± 2.9 µm was measured after 4 h at 1,100°C, whereas after 1 h at 950°C, no visible layer was identified with the applied characterization techniques, suggesting a threshold in this temperature. Adding 10 wt% silicon to the pack mixture impacted the kinetics of the diffusion process, which resulted in an increase in layer thickness of 72.6 ± 10.1 µm after processing for 1 h at 1,100°C, but cracks formed in the processed surface.

The customization of metallic alloys offers the possibility of adding functionalities to a material. Customizing alloys with a dispersion of intermetallic compounds obtained by in situ synthesis does not compromise processing and allows for the addition of functionalities to less noble alloys. However, intermetallic materials present important challenges regarding their processability by welding and forming because of low toughness, ductility, and metallurgical stability at high temperatures. Graded multilayer coatings might offer a balanced solution to the aforementioned challenges by taking advantage of a ductile matrix while the fine dispersion of aluminides reinforces hardness and metallurgical stability. This investigation addressed this challenge by processing coatings of Inconel 625 superalloy with in situ formed Ni-Al based intermetallics to increase hardness and high temperature oxidation resistance while maintaining weldability. Powder mixtures of Inconel 625, Ni, and Al elementary powders were processed as single and double-layer coatings. Inconel 625 atomized alloy was modified with a powder mixture containing 75 wt. % Ni and 25 wt. % Al. Each deposited layer had a different amount of the Ni + Al powder mixtures added to the atomized Inconel 625 alloy. The single layer coating was processed with a mixture containing Inconel 625 and 80 wt. % (Ni + Al), while the double-layer coating of the first layer was deposited with the powder mixture Inconel 625 and 20 wt. % (Ni + Al), and the second layer deposited with Inconel 625 and 80 wt. % (Ni+Al). Monel 400 substrates were used for all deposits in the study. Powder mixtures were deposited by Plasma Transferred Arc allowing the in situ synthesis of Ni-Al intermetallics without compromising weldability. For both coatings, microstructural stability was sustained until 900 °C, and at 1,100°C exposure led to some degree of oxidation, but the increased hardness due to nickel aluminides intermetallics in situ formation was sustained.

The very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) phenomenon has been recognized and extensively studied in the past quarter century. One of the most peculiar and noticeable characteristics of VHCF is the transition of the origin site from the surface to the interior of the material in long-life regimes over 107 cycles. In particular, in high-strength metals, a tiny site can become an origin of internal fatigue cracks, such as nonmetallic inclusions of several micrometers to several tens of micrometers in high-strength steels and crystal grains of several tens of micrometers in titanium alloys. However, such small cracks are difficult to detect using conventional nondestructive approaches, such as industrial X-ray computed tomography (CT) or ultrasonic CT. Given this background, we have attempted to use a synchrotron radiation multiscale X-ray CT provided by SPring-8 in Japan. This system comprises a projection CT (micro-CT) with a spatial resolution of approximately 1 μm and a phase-contrast imaging CT (nano-CT) with a spatial resolution of approximately 200 nm or higher. The present study introduces our experimental approach to clarify internal fatigue crack behaviors using the multiscale X-ray CT with in situ fatigue testing. First, the principle of material selection focusing on the VHCF study is explained with the details of the materials used: (α+β) type Ti-6Al-4V, β type Ti-22V-4Al, and 17-4 precipitation-hardened martensite stainless steel. Afterward, the outline and primary performance of the multiscale X-ray CT are described. Subsequently, important points in conducting accurate in situ fatigue tests are discussed from the viewpoints of the development policies of the testing system and preparation of the special thin specimen for CT imaging. Finally, the multiscale X-ray CT is conducted for the above materials, and the initiation and growth behaviors of the internal fatigue cracks are compared and discussed for an in-depth understanding of the VHCF phenomenon.
