Abstract
The spangle formation of Galvalume steel sheets under different cooling rates (5 °C/s and 15 °C/s) and titanium additions (0.1–0.5 wt%) are investigated. The SEM results show that the increased cooling rate can lead to the increase of the number of surface spangles and decrease of the spangle size. The XRD results show that the TiAl3 phases are located in the center of the spangle on surface of Galvalume steel sheet, indicating that the TiAl3 phases can act as a heterogeneous nucleus. The TEM analysis of spangle center is presented with Ti additions, The planar disregistries of TiAl3 phase and Al-rich phase are calculated. The planar disregistries are considered to be small enough in terms of lattice coherency except (100)TiAl3//(001)Al. It is possible for Al-rich phase growth from TiAl3 nuclei. Since the TiAl3 phase acts as heterogeneous nucleation sites, increasing the density of nucleation sizes, the spangles size decreases. With 0.5 wt% Ti additions under 15 °C/s, the spangles reach their minimum size. Besides, the oxygen and hydrogen content of Galvalume are explored and calculated. The EBSD results show that the Al-rich phase texture changes from <320> without Ti addition to <111> with 0.5 wt% Ti additions.
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.
