Abstract
This paper presents a novel photocatalysis-assisted mechanical polishing method for cobalt-based alloy cladding layers using TiO2 nanoparticles. By leveraging the active oxygen species generated by the photocatalyst under illuminated conditions, surface oxidation reactions on cobalt-based alloys are initiated, thereby enhancing material removal efficiency. The underlying principles of photocatalytic oxidation are elucidated, particularly the promotion of oxidation by •OH when it interacts with the metal surface, leading to the formation of a CoO oxide film on the cladding layer surface and a subsequent reduction in surface hardness. An experimental platform was established, and research findings identified an etching time of 60 min and a TiO2 concentration of 10 wt% as optimal process parameters. Comparative analysis with pure mechanical polishing and chemical mechanical polishing revealed that photocatalysis-assisted mechanical polishing yielded superior surface roughness of 60 nm and a material removal rate of 63.8 μm/min.
期刊介绍:
Powder Technology is an International Journal on the Science and Technology of Wet and Dry Particulate Systems. Powder Technology publishes papers on all aspects of the formation of particles and their characterisation and on the study of systems containing particulate solids. No limitation is imposed on the size of the particles, which may range from nanometre scale, as in pigments or aerosols, to that of mined or quarried materials. The following list of topics is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to indicate typical subjects which fall within the scope of the journal's interests:
Formation and synthesis of particles by precipitation and other methods.
Modification of particles by agglomeration, coating, comminution and attrition.
Characterisation of the size, shape, surface area, pore structure and strength of particles and agglomerates (including the origins and effects of inter particle forces).
Packing, failure, flow and permeability of assemblies of particles.
Particle-particle interactions and suspension rheology.
Handling and processing operations such as slurry flow, fluidization, pneumatic conveying.
Interactions between particles and their environment, including delivery of particulate products to the body.
Applications of particle technology in production of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, foods, pigments, structural, and functional materials and in environmental and energy related matters.
For materials-oriented contributions we are looking for articles revealing the effect of particle/powder characteristics (size, morphology and composition, in that order) on material performance or functionality and, ideally, comparison to any industrial standard.
