The influence exerted by the ratio of the refractory to metal components on the technological properties of the powders was studied. The flowability of the powders increased nonlinearly with a higher content of the metal component and greater particle sizes. The influence exerted by the ratio of the refractory to metal components on the morphology of powder particles was analyzed. The powder particles had a fragmentary elongated shape with a higher content of the refractory (Ti, Cr)B₂ component, while they acquired a more oval shape with a greater amount of the metal component. The composition and microstructure of individual powder particles were examined. They showed a heterophase microstructure. The uniform distribution of structural components in individual powder particles was found to depend on the mixing and grinding modes for powder mixtures.

The temperatures of recrystallization stages were shown to correspond to the heating behavior of metals and alloys. Depending on the heating rate of compacted powdered iron, various types of thermokinetic behavior were identified, indicating the nonlinear nature of interactions within the deformed powder body. Stages with both nonlinear and linear thermal behavior were present, as evidenced by the competition between several processes leading to the emergence of wave-like transfer of energy, accumulated while powdered iron deformed during cold pressing. The thermokinetic patterns observed in the heating of compacts, especially those made of pure iron, allowed all stages of relaxation in the deformed metal to be identified. The temperature profile in the heating process generally reflects the thermal state of the powdered metal, influenced by the additional release of energy accumulated in deformation. At some stages, heat release led to nonlinear processes, resulting in the occurrence of thermal waves. Both asynchronous and synchronous temperature changes were observed. In asynchronous behavior, nonlinear waves emerged. The superposition of relaxation processes in the generation of thermal waves is possible. At specific heating rates, the maximum amount of energy is simultaneously released in the relaxation and recrystallization processes, as testified by an increase in temperature to 550°C.

Such amplification was observed for the films deposited on a Gd₂O₃ layer instead of a glass substrate. The enhancement is due to the <i>f–d</i> exchange interaction established between atoms with unfilled <i>f</i>- and <i>d</i>-electron shells, present in both Fe and Gd₂O₃. The <i>f–d</i> exchange interaction enhances the ordering of the magnetic structure within the Fe ferromagnetic layer, increases its magnetization, and subsequently improves the properties that depend on this magnetization. Iron and Gd₂O₃ were selected because the magnetic moments of Fe in the iron group and Gd in the lanthanide series are among the highest effective ones: μ_Fe = 7.13 μ_B and μ_Gd = 7.95 μ_B. This, according to theory, determines the high energy of the <i>f–d</i> exchange interaction. The island morphology of Fe films deposited on a Gd₂O₃ layer enabled electron tunneling under the influence of the <i>f–d</i> exchange interaction. This allowed the study of tunnel magnetoresistance under direct current and magnetoimpedance under alternating current influenced by the <i>f–d</i> exchange interaction.

The study of creep behavior and mechanical properties showed the formation of a 17 μm atomic diffusion layer at the interface during ARB under three creep loading conditions, namely 35 MPa at 225°C, 35 MPa at 275°C, and 30 MPa at 225°C.

However, the creep failure time decreased by 44% and the stress level decreased by 13% at a constant temperature without any significant effect on the interface thickness. In different conditions, it was observed that at a constant temperature with an increase in stress level, the second steady state creep rate of the creep curve reaches to 39%, while it decreases to 2% with a small increase in temperature. It can be concluded that the applied temperature and stress affect the creep properties and especially lead to an increase in the steady-state creep rate of the creep curves with higher stresses.

The effect of tribofilms that form and evolve in the friction process in air at loads of 2.0 MPa and rotational speeds from 5,000 to 15,000 rpm on the tribological properties was analyzed. The evolution of dissipative tribofilms and the counterface occurs through a bifurcation mechanism with a transition to one of two attractors, depending directly on the high-speed loading modes. At speeds of 5,000–13,000 rpm, a continuous homogeneous lubricating layer forms on the contacting surfaces. Electron microscopy and elemental mapping of the tribofilm confirmed that the distribution of elements was uniform, promoting high antifriction properties and a sustained self-lubrication mode. With increase in the rotational speed to 15,000 rpm, the system exhibits a self-organization effect in the formation of a coarse heterogeneous tribofilm. This tribofilm loses its continuity and is an accumulation of phases, leading to a sharp decline in antifriction properties. The dual formation of tribofilms is decisively influenced by operating conditions, particularly the intensity of external energy. Depending on this energy, tribofilms show different structures and manifest in two functionally opposite types, transforming from antifriction films to friction ones, resulting in significantly different tribotechnical properties. Copper-based antifriction composites can be recommended as an effective alternative to cast bronzes for operation at rotational speeds of 5,000–13,000 rpm and loads of 2.0 MPa in the friction units of forming, printing, and offset cylinders in high-speed printing equipment.</p>","PeriodicalId":742,"journal":{"name":"Powder Metallurgy and Metal Ceramics","volume":"63 1-2","pages":"69 - 81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142565770","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}

Experimental results demonstrated that the as-deposited TC4 alloy has a relative density above 0.99. The as-deposited TC4 alloy was mainly composed of closepacked hexagonal structure α/ α′ phases. In addition, a small amount of β-phase was also detected. After annealing treatment, the TC4 alloy showed a similar phase composition. The microstructure of the as-deposited TC4 alloy was composed of acicular martensite a′phase accompanied by α-phase in β-matrix. After annealing treatment, the acicular α′ martensite decomposed, transforming the microstructure into a lamellar structure consisting of α- and β-phases. The microhardness was to 351.7 HV_0.2, the tensile strength was approximately 1,120 MPa, and the yield strength comprised approximately 1,080 MPa of the TC4 alloy fabricated by SLM. The tensile fracture surface of the asdeposited alloy demonstrated a mixture of brittle and ductile fracture. A quasi-cleavage river pattern and a small amount of irregular dimples can be observed.

Upon further heating, a linear stage ensued, where the temperature remained consistent throughout the entire volume of the material, persisting until the next stage. This was accompanied with energy release, as confirmed by a zero temperature gradient across all regions within the sample. With an increase in temperature to 210–215°C, a thermal surge was observed and visible temperature asynchronization was noted in individual volumes of the sample. However, this was followed by a temperature gradient between individual volumes. At this stage, asynchronized thermal behavior within the sample was observed for the first time, as evidenced by the emergence of thermal waves. Subsequent stages demonstrated nonlinear thermal behavior, evidenced by several competing processes leading to the wave-like transfer of energy accumulated as the copper powders deformed during cold pressing. Like recrystallization processes with first-order reactions in the high-temperature synthesis of intermetallic and other compounds, the emergence of thermal waves was due to several competing processes. Thus, if microplastic deformation processes occurred during recrystallization, then traveling waves could arise in the system, which was actually revealed. This could lead to thermal interference and subsequently to local buildup of thermal energy, potentially causing a sharp increase in temperature in individual areas of the wires deformed during switching and, as a result, their ignition.
