In this paper, the formation of Ti(C,N)_x in Ti₃SiC₂ ceramic composites was induced by the addition of TiN_0.3. Ti₃SiC₂ ceramic composites with 10, 20, and 30 vol% TiN_0.3 were fabricated using spark plasma sintering at 1200 °C. The results showed that the concentration of N vacancies in TN_0.3 was used to circumvent the poor sinterability of Ti(C,N)_x. Ti(C,N)_x was formed by the combination of TiC_x from the decomposition of Ti₃SiC₂ and TiN_0.3. The decomposition of Ti₃SiC₂ and the subsequent formation of Ti(C,N)_x were enhanced with the increasing addition of TiN_0.3. The hard phase of Ti(C,N)_x could serve the role of nailing Ti₃SiC₂. With 20vol.% TiN_0.3 additions, the Ti(C,N)_x-Ti₃SiC₂ ceramic composites exhibited excellent mechanical and tribological properties, which the bulk density, relative density, hardness, fracture toughness, friction coefficient and wear rate at room temperature reached the values of 4.78 g/cm³, 99.3%, 10.3 GPa, and 5.6 MPa⋅m^1/2, 0.63 and 4.21 × 10^-6 mm³N^-1m^-1, respectively.

Yue kiln porcelain, a historically important ceramic, suffers from a fragile structure and poor interfacial bonding with metallic coatings, limiting its functional applications. In this study, Ni-W-SiC composite coatings were successfully fabricated on Yue kiln porcelain substrates via jet electrodeposition (JED). The effects of nozzle size (Φ1.5, Φ2.5, and Φ3.5 mm) on coating deposition behavior, microstructure, and properties were systematically investigated through both simulation and experiments. Flow field and deposition rate analyses revealed that the Φ2.5-mm nozzle provided the optimal jet velocity (2.92 m/s) and the highest actual deposition rate (9.7 μm/min). Cross-sectional SEM confirmed coating thicknesses of 286, 578, and 361 nm for the three nozzle sizes, respectively, while the Φ2.5-mm coating exhibited the densest and most uniform structure. Adhesion strength reached 37.5 ± 0.5 N at Φ2.5 mm, nearly 1.7 times that of the Φ1.5-mm coating. XRD and TEM results indicated refined crystallite size (28.7 nm) and the most effective SiC incorporation (6.1 wt.%) under this condition. The Φ2.5-mm sample also achieved the highest hardness (800.8 ± 6.7 HV), superior thermal stability with only 0.27 mg weight loss at 2200 °C, and the best corrosion resistance, as evidenced by a low corrosion rate (0.09 ± 0.01 mg/d) and high polarization resistance. Furthermore, it exhibited excellent wear resistance with a minimal wear rate of 0.17 ± 0.02 mg/min and the lowest friction coefficient (0.41).

The present study aims to simultaneously improve the mechanical and electrochemical properties of 45CrNi high-strength steel through optimized thermomechanical treatment. The as-received steel exhibited a pearlitic microstructure within a ferritic matrix, with an average grain size of 151 µm. After thermomechanical treatment with tempering at 470 °C, the steel developed a refined microstructure with an average grain size of 9.4 µm, comprising 71 vol.% tempered martensite and 29 vol.% retained austenite. This phase transformation significantly improved the mechanical properties: tensile strength increased by 43%, micro-Vickers hardness by 64%, and impact toughness nearly doubled. In parallel, electrochemical performance was markedly enhanced, as evidenced by a reduced corrosion current density of 7.69 µA/cm², a lower corrosion rate of 3.50 mpy, and increased barrier film resistance (97.50 Ω·cm²) and charge-transfer resistance (1.84 kΩ·cm²) values.

NbC/4Cr5MoSiV1 composites with varying NbC volume fractions were fabricated via in situ synthesis to investigate the influence of NbC volume fraction on the composite microstructure and erosion wear resistance; the study revealed that with increasing volume fraction, NbC transitions from a network-like precipitate at grain boundaries to particulate distribution both at grain boundaries and within grains, while composite hardness increases from 397.8 ± 71.4 to 826.2 ± 95.7 HV. Under erosive wear conditions, the erosion resistance of the composites was 2.42 to 3.44 times that of the matrix, and both erosion pit depth and diameter decreased with increasing NbC volume fraction; the primary erosion wear mechanisms involve micro-cutting of the composite by abrasives and fracture/spallation of NbC particles. This experiment aims to investigate the erosion–corrosion wear performance of NbC4Cr5MoSiV1 composites with different NbC volume fractions in corrosive environments, elucidate the differential impact of erosion velocity (25 m/s, 51 m/s) on material failure modes, and achieve mechanistic innovation through a four-dimensional (corrosion–erosion–velocity–composition) coupling study. Existing literature primarily focuses on the macro-scale wear resistance improvement by NbC and has not established the cross-scale correlation linking NbC distribution morphology (network → particulate) → interfacial bonding strength → fatigue life in corrosive environments. This study specifically contrasts the failure modes of the NbC reinforcement phase under low-velocity (25 m/s) and high-velocity (51 m/s) erosion, clarifying the correlation between phase spallation induced by high-speed impact and corrosion acceleration. NbC/H13 composites cost merely one-third of cobalt-based alloys. The distribution of NbC particles was tailored by controlling parameters during in situ synthesis; they enable domestic substitution in applications like shield machine cutter rings and marine pump/valve components, significantly extending service life.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance","volume":"35 17","pages":"16463 - 16483"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147829088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The non-mixing zone at the interface between the WM and the AL6XN was significantly reduced for both electrodes applying EMFs. The highest energy absorbed in the Charpy impact tests was for the specimens welded with ER310. A positive effect was seen in this property for welds performed with EMFs. Failure of the welded joints during tension tests occurred at the WM when using ER310 whereas for ERNiCrMo-3 the specimens broke at the HAZ of IN600.
