ABSTRACT The influence of silane pretreatment with five different volume ratios (100/0, 75/25, 50/50, 25/75, and 0/100) of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES)/tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) on microstructure and corrosion resistance of the hydrothermal synthesized zeolite coatings on the H13 steel substrates was investigated. The surface of the zeolite coatings on the 100/0, 75/25, and 50/50 mixture of the APTES/TEOS pretreated substrates was composed of intergrown rectangular particles. Additionally, pores were observed. A 25/75 mixture of APTES/TEOS pretreatment smoothed the edges and angles of zeolite particles with gel-like materials filled in the pores. In pure TEOS pretreatment, microcracks, and much gel-like materials were observed on the zeolite coating. The electrochemical test revealed that the zeolite coating on a 50/50 mixture of the APTES/TEOS pretreated substrate exhibited the highest corrosion resistance in 3.5 wt-% NaCl solution. This was because a 50/50 mixture of APTES/TEOS pretreatment advantageously promoted development of a dense and thick gel layer, which enhanced the intergrowth of zeolite particles.

ABSTRACT In this study, the surface properties of copper layers on a zirconium substrate were investigated. The copper deposits with thicknesses of 25, 50, and 100 μm were formed using the electroplating method. The evaluations of coating thickness, surface morphology, crystallite size, and grain distribution were performed by using the relevant analytical equipment. The results showed that by increasing the thickness of the copper layer, a more uniform cauliflower morphology was obtained. Also, by increasing the thickness of the copper deposit, the crystallite size was decreased from 70 to 20 nanometers and the strain energy was decreased from 2.9 × 10−3 J to 6.5 × 10−3 J. The copper layer with a thickness of 100 μm was the most wear resistance compared to other coatings. The highest hardness value, uniform morphology, and more twin islands in different areas were the main reasons for improving the wear resistance of the copper layer with a thickness of 100 μm.

ABSTRACT Pulsed vapour fluxes with proper controlled time duration were proved to be an important controlling dimension for the deposition of a desired thin film. In this work, deep oscillation magnetron sputtering was employed to tailor the ionized pulsed flux for Nb and Cr thin film grown on AISI 304 stainless steel. Through tuning the micropulse oscillating voltage-off time from 10 to 40 μs, Nb and Cr thin films showed an obvious variation on microstructure owing to the deposition flux transited from continuous to chopped ones. The deposited Nb thin films showed Nb(110) preferred orientation experienced a nanocrystallization process with compressive residual stress showing a slightly decrease. While Cr thin films showed Cr(110) preferred orientation without an obvious nancrystallization trend with its compressive stress turning to be tensile. The tailoring of the microstructure and properties relied on interval time between the two interrupted ionized deposition flux.

Valvular heart disease refers to any cardiovascular condition that affects one or more of the heart’s four valves: the aortic and mitral valves on the left side of the heart, and the pulmonic and tricuspid valves on the right side. While these conditions primarily develop as a result of aging, they can also be caused by congenital abnormalities, specific diseases, or physiological processes such as rheumatic heart disease and pregnancy. Surgical replacement of the faulty valve with prosthetic valves remains the preferred and most effective treatment for all types of VHD. In 2020, over 180,000 heart valve replacements were performed in the US alone [1]. Charles Hufnagel is considered the pioneer in the design of prosthetic heart valves. The first Hufnagel heart valve was implanted in 1952 using a Lucite tube and methacrylate ball in the descending aorta. Over the past century, significant advancements have been made in the development of prosthetic heart valves, and continuing research is dedicated to engineering optimal designs. [2] (Figure 1). The prosthetic heart valve comprises three components: the valve ring, the valve leaf, and the sewing ring (Figure 2). The valve ring and leaf are typically made of titanium, 316L stainless steel (SS) or cobaltchromium (Co-Cr) alloys, low-temperature isotropic pyrolytic carbon, or expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) [3]. While progressive designs of prosthetic heart valves have improved haemodynamic properties, the introduction of a foreign object into the human body comes with its own set of complications [5]. The common problems include thrombosis, haemorrhage related to anticoagulant use, infections, valve failure, tissue hyperplasia, and overgrowth. Thrombogenicity or clot formation on the surfaces of the internal prosthesis is triggered by the adhesion and activation of platelets on them. This in turn is guided by the protein layer, especially human plasma fibrinogen (HPF). Inflammatory reactions such as restenosis and calcification are also caused by the release of toxic ions from the metals or alloys and the degradation of polymeric components of the artificial valves. A promising strategy to limit thrombogenicity is to modulate HPF behaviour at the blood-material interface by altering the physicochemical properties of the valve’s (or any prosthetic device’s) surface. Surface modifications aim to optimize various aspects of blood-material interactions, including protein adsorption, thrombin generation and blood coagulation, platelet adhesion, aggregation and activation, and cellular behaviour at the prosthesis surface [6]. A recent study showed the relationship between surface crystallographic structure and platelet adhesion. Valve rings are often made of titanium or pyrolytic carbon, the surface of which is often engineered to have a layer of titanium oxide [7]. The rutile crystallographic structure typically has three lowindex (110), (100), and (101) facets

ABSTRACT The anti-/de-icing technology based on induction heating offers significant advantages regarding fast heating, high efficiency, safety and environmental protection. However, the reported methods require the modification of base materials, which lacks universal applicability. Here, a universal and facile anti-/de-icing method is proposed based on induction heating. The durable induction heating coating was prepared by one-step spin coating with micron-sized nickel powder, epoxy resin and silicone resin. The induction heating ability of this coating was investigated by adjusting the proportion of composition, particle size and thickness. An optimal induction heating ability was achieved with the mass ratio of nickel powder and resin, particle size of nickel powder and coating thickness being 1.5, 7 μm and 1070 μm, respectively. We further show this coating can be applied for anti-/de-icing, demonstrated by its excellent de-/anti-icing performances. Finally, the mechanical durability of the coating was verified by the tape peel and sandpaper friction.

ABSTRACT During electrical discharge machining (EDM) drilling of small high-aspect-ratio holes, abnormal discharges between tool flank and workpiece will result in high process instability and poor shape accuracy. In order to solve this problem, dense nano-alumina insulating film is plated on the tool flank based on atomic layer deposition (ALD) to suppress the secondary discharge for the benefit of the tool’s integrity and shape accuracy. Drilling experiments on nickel base superalloy GH4099 workpiece were conducted to test machining effect of the coated brass tool. Experimental results show that it can enhance the process stability and improve the surface topography of the machined holes. The tool wear is reduced by about 21.7%, and the discharge craters and carbon black film along the tool flank are significantly reduced.

ABSTRACT High-velocity oxyfuel (HVOF) sprayed ceramic coatings possess less porosity and exceptional cohesive strength as compared to the air plasma sprayed ceramic coatings. In particular, the HVOF-sprayed tungsten carbide-cobalt (WC-Co) coatings have the disadvantage of unexpected brittle fracture. These coatings usually fail at higher levels of stress because of their lower fracture toughness that results due to decarburization occurring during the deposition of the coatings. In this work, the HVOF-sprayed nanostructured WC-25wt-%Co coatings have been investigated with and without the addition of rGO. It was found in the microstructure of 1.5% rGO-added WC-25wt-%Co coatings that the rGO has been pulled out from the matrix and wrapped in the fractured regions. It was also observed with an increasing percentage of rGO addition that the porosity in the WC-25wt-%Co coatings has been reduced due to a reduction in the number of pores.

ABSTRACT This work aimed to enhance the surface properties of common food packaging materials (PVC, PS, PET, PVDC) by applying a TiO2 nano thin film coating. Physical and chemical analyses confirmed a well-defined anatase phase film. PET showed the highest antibacterial activity, followed by PVDC, PS, and PVC. After 60 min of UV-A irradiation, E. coli elimination rates were 99.85% (PET), 97.14% (PVDC), 96.5% (PS), and 85.91% (PVC). Similarly, for S. Typhimurium, the respective rates were 97.8% (PET), 83.71% (PVDC), 74.79% (PS), and 68.94% (PVC). Complete eradication of both strains occurred within 120 min (E. coli) and 180 min (S. Typhimurium). Durability testing revealed PET's mass loss of 97 mg/kg after 15 cycles, while PVC had the lowest value of 7 mg/kg. These findings demonstrate that TiO2 thin film-coated substrates effectively inhibit bacteria growth, extending food product shelf life.

ABSTRACT The aim of this work was to investigate the flexural strength and corrosion behaviour of graphene-reinforced WC-10Co-4Cr HVOF coating on sandblasted and laser-textured DH-36 naval-grade steel. In this regard, WC-10Co-4Cr and WC-10Co-4Cr + 3% graphene nanoparticles (GNPs) are applied on DH-36 substrates using the HVOF coating technique and their microhardness, flexural strength and corrosion behaviour are investigated. Amongst all, the flexural strength of WC-10Co-4Cr + 3%GNPs coating on laser-textured sample with pitch-to-diameter (p/d) ratio 2 was minimum (327.006 MPa) due to the effect of GNPs and better mechanical interlocking at the coating-substrate interface. Also, the corrosion resistance of coated DH-36 steel was evaluated by salt spray test; it revealed that corrosion resistance was improved with the application of WC-10Co-4Cr coating, which was further enhanced by the addition of GNPs as GNP has the property of being impermeable to gasses and salts. Further, microstructures and morphologies of the corroded surface were investigated using FE-SEM images.

Further, microstructures and morphologies of the corroded surface were investigated using FE-SEM images.","PeriodicalId":21995,"journal":{"name":"Surface Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45834890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT Magnesium alloys are low in density, high in strength and non-toxic, nevertheless, their industrial application is substantially limited owing to their low electrode potential and susceptibility to corrosion. Surface and coating technology is widely used to improve their corrosion resistance. Graphene is one candidate material for anti-corrosion coatings because of its high aspect ratio, outstanding chemical resistance and good physical resistance. Its good barrier properties mean that graphene may have a wide range of applications in magnesium alloy coatings. This paper reviews (i) the potential of graphene for anti-corrosion coatings, (ii) the production methods and types of graphene anti-corrosion coatings, (iii) their properties, (iv) the protection mechanisms and (v) the future development trends of graphene-based corrosion protective coatings on magnesium alloys.
