The research was conducted to determine the crack resistance, strength and dynamic fatigue of optical fibers without any coating and with copper coatings. The microhardness of quartz fibers was measured by the diamond indentation of end surfaces. The stress intensity parameter K1c was found from the A. Niihara semi-empirical dependence. The geometry of indentation and radial cracks was studied using a scanning electron microscope. The crack resistance of uncoated quartz turned out to be almost 3 times less as compared to the copper coating fiber, which is presumably due to the additive contribution of compressive stresses on fiber surfaces and quartz wetting with copper. Copper-coated optical fiber drawing increases the tensile strength, crack resistance and dynamic fatigue parameter, and it is the main resource for maintaining operation in the conditions of a statistical approach to structural strength. Comparative tests were conducted to check the optical fiber strength by two-point bending and axial tension methods. Experimental tests conducted to check the ultimate mechanical strength of quartz optical fibers showed a significant spread of data, which indicates the presence of cracks of various sizes in a brittle solid and is a characteristic feature of brittle fracture as suggested by the A. Griffiths theory. In addition, it was assumed that the chaotic distribution of defects and microcracks extends along the entire length of a brittle solid, a quartz optical fiber in this case. A statistical model based on the Weibull distribution was used to describe surface microcracks depending on the fiber length. As a result, Weibull graphs were plotted in coordinates connecting the probability of failure with the strength, fiber length and parameter describing the ultimate strength.","PeriodicalId":14693,"journal":{"name":"Izvestiya vuzov.

Polyakov","doi":"10.17073/1997-308x-2022-1-4-16","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17073/1997-308x-2022-1-4-16","url":null,"abstract":"The research is intended to develop a technology for the production of finely dispersed (10 to 100 μm) powders of titanium and its alloys suitable for use in additive technologies after classification and spheroidization. A eutectic mixture was used as electrolyte, mole fractions: BaCl2 – 0.16, CaCl2 – 0.47, NaCl – 0.37, melting point of 452 °C. Electrolytes with a similar composition are used in industry for the electrolytic production of sodium with high current efficiency. No titanium salts were added to electrolyte. Sodium losses due to evaporation, corrosion, and ion recharge were replenished by a periodic increase in electrolysis current. A VT1-0 titanium plate was used as an anode. The walls of a steel crucible served as a cathode. Sodium was released on these walls and dissolved in electrolyte. Titanium ions were reduced in the bulk of electrolyte and in the anode layer. It is the first time that the results obtained were interpreted using the data on the electrode potentials of Ti3+/Ti, Ti2+/Ti, Ti3+/Ti2+ systems. It was shown that the concentration of slowly moving complex Ti3+ ions increases in the anode layer, and sodium dissolved in electrolyte reduces mainly Ti2+ ions in the electrolyte volume in the first 12 min of electrolysis. Starting from the 20th min, the concentration of Ti2+ ions in the anode layer begins to increase rapidly according to the reaction: 2Ti3+ + Ti = 3Ti2+ as titanium powder accumulates in the electrolyte volume. At the same time, the proportion of sodium consumed for the reduction of Ti3+ ions to Ti2+ decreases, which contributes to an increase in current efficiency and cathode potential stabilization for 30 minutes at –2.963 V. After the 50th min, the reactivity of the salt melt begins to decrease, the concentration of Ti3+ ions increases steadily until it levels off with the concentration of Ti2+ ions at the 85th min. This sharply increased the current consumption for ion recharge and made it necessary to stop electrolysis after switching on a current of 12 A for a short time (for 40 s). After 10 s, judging by the change in the cathode potential, sodium dissolved in electrolyte was almost completely consumed for titanium ion reduction. After 6 min, the potentials of electrodes returned to the initial anode potential value indicating that the system returned to its original state with the near-zero content of titanium salts and dissolved sodium. 95 % of powder was obtained in the electrolyte volume. Current efficiency was 84.0 % and turned out to be close to the value calculated from the average valence of titanium ions and the loss of anode weight (87.0 %). After ultrasonic dispersion, more than 80 % of powder was in the 10–100 μm range with a maximum at 36 μm. X-ray phase analysis showed that this is practically pure α-titanium (93.06 %) and oxygenated α-titanium (5.45 %).

For this, magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized by the method of chemical condensation from iron (III) chloride solutions with a concentration of 0.32 mol/l and iron sulfate with a concentration of 0.2 mol/l by gradually adding a 25 % aqueous ammonia solution. It was shown that a simple deposition method can be used to synthesize homogeneous nanoparticles of Fe3O4 magnetite with a particle size of 8–25 nm. This is confirmed by the results of X-ray phase analysis and transmission electron microscopy. Magnetite nanoparticles were then used to obtain PAN/Fe3O4 composite fibers by adding magnetite in a 7 wt.% PAN solution in dimethylformamide. Fibers were obtained from the PAN/Fe3O4 suspension in dimethylformamide by electrospinning. Scanning electron microscopy showed that magnetite nanoparticles are uniformly distributed throughout the fiber surface, and the fiber size is 288–658 nm. The comparison of PAN fibers without the magnetite additive and PAN/Fe3O4 fibers showed that the addition of magnetite leads to a decrease in the fiber diameter at the same polymer concentrations and electrospinning conditions. XRD and elemental analysis of PAN/Fe3O4 fibers showed that magnetite particles in the fibers did not change their chemical composition and represent single-phase magnetite in a polymer matrix. The results obtained in the studies showed the possibility of obtaining composite fibers based on magnetite by the electrospinning method. Resulting composite fibers may be useful in practical scientific and engineering applications.","PeriodicalId":14693,"journal":{"name":"Izvestiya vuzov.

Deposition was carried out from chloride electrolytes in a galvanostatic mode at a current density of 0.3 A/cm2. The porosity of the obtained deposits is associated with the macro- and micropores. It was found that the nickel and nickel-cobalt alloy deposits feature by different porous layer structures. In case of nickel, a typical foam structure is formed, while the Ni–Co alloy deposit morphology is more like loose (powder) metals. The total porosity of the obtained structures calculated based on experimental data decreased with the deposit thickness: from 0.4 to 0.1 for nickel foams, and from 0.9 to 0.8 for the Ni–Co deposit. It was shown that the dependences of the macropore number and the fraction of the surface occupied by them can be approximated by lognormal distribution. The agreement between the experimental values and values calculated by approximating equations indicates the stochastic nature of the macropore system formation. The catalytic properties of the obtained porous deposits toward the hydrogen evolution reaction in alkali were investigated. It was found that the decrease in the hydrogen evolution potential in comparison with a smooth electrode reaches 370 mV for nickel foams, and 440 mV for porous Ni–Co alloy deposits. However, the high porosity of the Ni–Co alloy caused poor adhesion of the deposit to the substrate; therefore, the porous Ni–Co deposit cannot be used without further strengthening. The dependences of the depolarization value during hydrogen evolution on the average diameter of pores, their number, and the macropore fraction were analyzed. Optimal properties of foams that reduce the potential of hydrogen evolution in alkali are as follows: pore diameters from 30 to 50 μm and their quantity from 50 to 100 pcs/mm2.","PeriodicalId":14693,"journal":{"name":"Izvestiya vuzov.

The Ti–Cu–C system was selected taking into account the data available in the scientific and technical literature. Various SHS charge compositions consisting of titanium powder, copper powder, and carbon black were experimentally burned to determine compositions that can burn during the SHS process and provide a melt containing titanium carbide and titanium cuprides as a binder featuring higher mechanical properties and lower melting points than pure copper. Model samples of products in the form of bushings with an outer diameter of 70 and 110 mm were produced by burning the SHS charge with selected compositions in a reactor followed by the compaction of the resulting melt with a force of 50–60 t. After the rough workpiece electrical discharge machining, samples were cut out for phase analysis, X-ray spectral analysis, and wear tests. With an optimal ratio of SHS charge components, titanium carbide and a binder in the form of titanium cuprides of different compositions were revealed in the model sample material. Using the method of testing for wear when sliding on a fixed abrasive under a specific pressure of 1 MPa, it was determined that the relative abrasive resistance of the new material at a hardness of 50–52 HRC is 1.8–2.0 units in comparison with the hardened tool and die steel Kh12MFL. In order to implement the technology in practice, an algorithm was developed for calculating the compositions of the newly formulated SHS charge, while its principle is such a ratio of components where the introduced carbon forms titanium carbide with titanium, and the added excess titanium forms titanium cuprides with copper. The developed material can be considered as promising for use as elements of equipment operating under abrasive wear conditions.

Experimental studies were carried out in a reactor in an argon atmosphere at atmospheric pressure and an ambient temperature of 298 K on rectangular samples pressed from Ni–Al and Ti–Co powder mixtures in the form of a three-layer package. The Ti–Co acceptor layer was in the middle of the sample, and the Ni–Al donor layer was outside. The acceptor layer thickness was varied from 4.3 to 13 mm, while the donor layer thickness (4.7 mm) remained constant. It was found that as the acceptor layer thickness increases, the combustion wave front propagation velocity and reaction initiation temperature decrease, and the maximum temperature in the front remains constant and equal to the melting point of the final product. The time of acceptor layer heating before the reaction increases. The acceptor mixture reaction proceeds in the thermal explosion mode when the thickness of the acceptor layer exceeds that of the donor one. Maximum temperature in this case is higher than the melting point of the final product. The inner layer synthesis modes change with an increase in the acceptor layer thickness: stationary – pulsating – extinction. The mathematical model of the three-layer sample high-temperature synthesis in dimensional variables is constructed taking into account heat transfer with the environment. As a result of experimental studies and numerical calculations, the critical thickness of the inner layer was found to be 15 mm, at which the inner layer combustion becomes impossible at fixed sizes of donor layers. Critical conditions for the combustion wave propagation along the acceptor layer are weakly dependent on the external heating source.

The study covers the effect of mechanical activation of metal components contained in reaction mixtures based on the Ti + C + Cr + Ni system when treated with grinding media in a ball mill. Two mechanical activation methods were used for Ti, Cr and Ni metal powders. In the first method, Cr and Ni powders were activated with grinding media separately from other reaction mixture components, and then mixed with titanium and carbon black powders. It is shown that the preliminary mechanical activation of inert components reduces the temperature and rate of combustion and increases the average size of carbide grains. In the second method, Ti + + Cr, Ti + Ni, and Ti + Cr + Ni powder mixtures were jointly processed in a ball mill, and then mixed with carbon black. This method provided mechanical activation of titanium particles with a minimum effect of grinding media on Cr and Ni powders. This led to an increase in the combustion rate and temperature, a decrease in the average size of carbide grains, and an increase in the composite structure homogeneity. A mechanism is proposed for the interaction of reagents (Ti + C) with the participation of activated Cr and Ni particles in combustion and structure formation zones, according to which the mechanical activation of inert components leads to their direct participation in the reaction interaction of titanium with carbon, which determines a decrease in the combustion rate and temperature and affects the fineness and structural homogeneity of compact composites.
