Abstract
To further improve the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the composites, in-situ TiC/TC4-xMo composites were fabricated. The effect of Mo content on the microstructure evolution, mechanical properties, and corrosion behavior of the composites was investigated. The results show that with the increase of Mo content, the amount of β-Ti phase and the size of the TiC particle increase. The mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the composites can be significantly enhanced through Mo addition. The TiC/TC4 composites containing 10 wt% Mo exhibits superior mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Grain refinement, load transfer, and solid solution strengthening are the main strengthening mechanisms for improving the strength of composites. In addition, the increase of the β-Ti content, the presence of TiC, and the solid solution of Mo elements contribute to enhancing the corrosion resistance of the composites.
期刊介绍:
Vacuum is an international rapid publications journal with a focus on short communication. All papers are peer-reviewed, with the review process for short communication geared towards very fast turnaround times. The journal also published full research papers, thematic issues and selected papers from leading conferences.
A report in Vacuum should represent a major advance in an area that involves a controlled environment at pressures of one atmosphere or below.
The scope of the journal includes:
1. Vacuum; original developments in vacuum pumping and instrumentation, vacuum measurement, vacuum gas dynamics, gas-surface interactions, surface treatment for UHV applications and low outgassing, vacuum melting, sintering, and vacuum metrology. Technology and solutions for large-scale facilities (e.g., particle accelerators and fusion devices). New instrumentation ( e.g., detectors and electron microscopes).
2. Plasma science; advances in PVD, CVD, plasma-assisted CVD, ion sources, deposition processes and analysis.
3. Surface science; surface engineering, surface chemistry, surface analysis, crystal growth, ion-surface interactions and etching, nanometer-scale processing, surface modification.
4. Materials science; novel functional or structural materials. Metals, ceramics, and polymers. Experiments, simulations, and modelling for understanding structure-property relationships. Thin films and coatings. Nanostructures and ion implantation.
