To resolve the interface bonding challenges between brittle ceramic coatings and ductile superalloys, this method employs two different laser sources: a short-wavelength fiber laser for fabricating the IN718 superalloy substrate and NiCoCrAlY bonding layer, and a long-wavelength CO<sub>2</sub> laser for depositing oxide eutectic ceramic coatings. Additionally, the finite element modeling (FEM) is utilized to optimize the preparation of superalloy–ceramic coating composites using LPBF technology, revealing the temperature and stress field distributions during the fabrication process. The resulting in-situ eutectic composite ceramic coatings exhibit a bonding strength of about 29.3 N and a nanoscale microstructure with a eutectic spacing of 97 nm. In high-temperature water-oxygen corrosion tests at 1000°C, the coatings showed no signs of delamination. After 100 h of heat treatment at 500°C, the microstructure experienced only a slight coarsening, maintaining its nanoscale structures.

The defective MOFs were synthesized in an aqueous solution at room temperature, having a promising future for industrial application. Tailoring specific defects in MOFs can make molecular chains of polymer penetrate into the internal skeleton and form an interlocking structure. The interlocking effect can enhance the mechanical performance of the coating, and the corrosion inhibition performance of anions can synergistically improve the corrosion resistance of the coating. The waterborne acrylic resin (WAR) embedded with phytate-modified MOF has the highest tensile strength of 23.9 MPa, four times higher than pure WAR. Anti-corrosion test results indicated that the corrosion inhibition efficiencies of composite coatings maintained around 97% after 2 months of immersion in seawater. The structure-property relations of defect-engineered MOFs and the anti-corrosion mechanisms were elaborated in detail by both experiments and molecular dynamics simulation.

Photoluminescence (PL) and Raman spectra results reveal that post-annealing repaired most of lattice defects induced by ion implantation. The ZFC/FC curves show a blocked phase related to Co precipitates in Co single-doped GaN system and this phase is suppressed by the incorporation of Tb ions in the co-doped GaN systems. Although the magnetic properties were enhanced with the co-implantation of Co and Tb ions, the magnetic moment introduced by each ion slightly decreased with increasing Tb concentration. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest that a high doping concentration of Tb atoms leads to the antiferromagnetic phase in the nearest position between Co and Tb ions. Appropriate co-doping with Co and Tb ions in GaN favors the development of enhanced ferromagnetism with no secondary phase.

The oxidation resistance and surface mixed oxide (MO) growth behavior and formation mechanisms of different structures in this environment were analyzed. The results indicate that CoNiCrAlY bond coats with different structures exhibit distinct oxidation behaviors in a high-temperature, high-water vapor environment. The growth of the MO phase is significantly influenced by the bond coat structure, and the high-water vapor environment promotes the nucleation and growth of bulk MO phase, resulting in a multilayer internal structure. Among these, the double-layer HVOF bond coat structure demonstrates superior resistance to water vapor corrosion, with fewer surface MO formations.

The introduced Al segregation exists in two forms of B2/BCC phases, one in banded shape within the FCC matrix and the other as particles at grain boundaries (GBs). Experimental characterization and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used to reveal the mechanism of the thermal stability of the grain boundary (GB) and dislocation in high-temperature treatment at 1000 and 1200°C. At high temperatures, short-range uphill diffusion occurs within the banded B2/BCC phase, forming the dispersed B2/BCC phase with higher (Al, Ni) content. This extends the stability of the banded B2/BCC phase and ensures high-strain hardening. Additionally, the long-range diffusion of Al atoms from the banded B2/BCC into the FCC matrix utilizes GBs as rapid channels at high temperatures. This process stabilizes GBs by reducing their cohesive energy and maintaining the nailing effect of the B2/BCC phase at GBs. Furthermore, after high-temperature treatment, dislocations within the FCC matrix exhibit a relatively high-density level, and many dislocations are generated within the B2/BCC regions subsequent to phase transition. This is attributed to the geometrically necessary dislocation (GND) generation caused by lattice distortion stemming from variations in Al content in the FCC matrix and lattice shrinkage induced by the phase transformation. As a result, the mechanical properties exhibit remarkable resistance to softening compared to traditional L-PBFed single FCC phase alloys. In terms of tensile properties at room temperature, after treatment at 1000°C/1 h, ultimate tensile strength (UTS) increased from 797 to 873 MPa. Even after 10 h at 1200°C, the UTS retained 86% of its original value. In terms of tensile properties at high temperature, compared to the L-PBFed FeCoCrNi alloy, the alloys prepared in this work exhibit an increase in yield strength (YS) by approximately 100 MPa under the same temperature conditions. This work can provide a new perspective for improving the thermal stability of L-PBFed alloys.","PeriodicalId":16154,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science & Technology","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143703514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
