    INVESTIGATION OF STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF THERMAL COATINGS OF WC—Co—Cr SYSTEM PRODUCED BY HIGH-VELOCITY METHODS OF SPRAYING Yu.S. BORISOV, E.A. ASTAKHOV, A.P. MURASHOV, A.P. GRISHCHENKO, N.V. VIGILYANSKAYA and M.V. KOLOMYTSEV E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute, NASU 11 Bozhenko Str., 03680, Kiev, Ukraine. E-mail: [email protected] Spraying of coatings of WC—9Co—4Cr powder was performed by high-velocity procedures of thermal spraying, using the methods of detonation, supersonic air-gas plasma (SAGP) and oxy-fuel HVOF spraying. Microstructure and properties of produced coatings were investigated. Analysis of results of the coating structure examination showed that during spraying with these methods the dense coatings are formed, consisting of inclusions of tungsten carbide, uniformly distributed in Co—Cr matrix. Porosity of coatings is less than 1 %. Microhardness of SAGP- and HVOF-sprayed coatings is 11.0—11.7 GPa. As to the values of microhardness these coatings are superior to those of the galvanic chromium (10 GPa). Microhardness of the detonation coating is 8.5 GPa. The cause of decrease in hardness of the detonation coating is a partial loss of carbon and appearance of oxide inclusions in it, that is caused by the oxidizing medium of the detonation products. By the complex of characteristics of hardness, adhesion strength (more than 50 MPa) and porosity the coatings of WC—9Co—4Cr system, sprayed by SAGP and HVOF methods, are advantageous as compared with the galvanic chrome-plating. Among the investigated methods of high-velocity thermal spraying of coatings of WC—9Co—4Cr system the SAGP method is characterized by the highest efficiency (15 kg/h).

Rimmer and Ch Helling School of Physics and Astronomy, University of St Andrews, St Andrews, KY16 9SS, UK; [email protected] Received 2015 June 3; accepted 2015 October 22; published 2016 May 23 ABSTRACT There are many open questions about prebiotic chemistry in both planetary and exoplanetary environments. The increasing number of known exoplanets and other ultra-cool, substellar objects has propelled the desire to detect life andprebiotic chemistry outside the solar system. We present an ion–neutral chemical network constructed from scratch, STAND2015, that treats hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, and oxygen chemistry accurately within a temperature range between 100 and 30,000 K. Formation pathways for glycine and other organic molecules are included. The network is complete up to H6C2N2O3. STAND2015 is successfully tested against atmospheric chemistry models for HD 209458b, Jupiter, and the present-day Earth using a simple one- dimensionalphotochemistry/diffusion code. Our results for the early Earth agree with those of Kasting for CO2,H2, CO, and O2, but do not agree for water and atomic oxygen. We use the network to simulate an experiment where varied chemical initial conditions are irradiated by UV light. The result from our simulation is that more glycine is produced when more ammonia and methane is present.

  • Microhardness Improvement by Using Thermal Sprayed Ni and Al Coatings by Detonation Gun
    e-ISSN (O): 2348-4470 Scientific Journal of Impact Factor (SJIF): 5.71 p-ISSN (P): 2348-6406 International Journal of Advance Engineering and Research Development Volume 5, Issue 04, April -2018 MICROHARDNESS IMPROVEMENT BY USING THERMAL SPRAYED NI AND AL COATINGS BY DETONATION GUN Mukesh kumar1, Mohd Vaseem2, Rajesh Kumar3 1Mechanical Engineering, Quantum University, Roorkee, India 2Mechanical Engineering, Quantum University, Roorkee, India 3Enginear, Welding/NDT, Engineeres India Limited RRFCL, Telagana, India Abstract - The present work was undertaken to increase the hardness of aluminium and nickel based coatings deposited by Detonation spray technique. The experimental work included deposition of Al2O3-TiO2 and Ni-Cr overlays of around 400 micron coating thickness, so as to achieve appropriate adhesion strength and hardness by using detonation gun spray technique (DS). Characterization of samples was made for further studies viz. as sprayed condition & post coating treatment. One of the hardfaced samples was subjected to post spray treatments of nitriding and compaction heat-treatment at 565° C for 2.5 hours and allowed to furnace cool, while another set of samples of both types of coatings was subjected to compaction at 12kN for 15 minutes. Systematic microstructural characterization of the coatings in the as-sprayed, nitrided conditions were carried out which included microhardness techniques in order to understand the effect of post treatment on the microstructure of these coatings. It is found that the microhardness values of base metal are enhanced almost three times after hardfacing/coatings with the Al2O3-TiO2 & Ni-Cr, using DS, which further enhanced after post treatment of nitriding and compaction.

  • Application Notes Metallographic Preparation of Thermal Spray Coatings
    Metallographic preparation of thermal spray coatings Application Notes Thermal spraying was invented in the early 1900s using zinc for „metallizing” substrates for corrosion protection. The development of the plasma spray gun in the late 50s and 60s made it commercially viable to use high temperature materials such as ceramics and refractory metals for coating materials. In addition to fl ame and plasma spraying, today thermal spray methods include high velocity and detona- tion spraying using a multitude of different spray materials for the most diverse and demanding applications. Thermal spray coatings are applied to a substrate to give a specifi c surface quali- ty, which it originally does not have.

  • Toxicological Profile for Silica
    SILICA 208 CHAPTER 5. POTENTIAL FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE 5.1 OVERVIEW Silica has been identified in at least 37 of the 1,854 hazardous waste sites that have been proposed for inclusion on the EPA National Priorities List (NPL) (ATSDR 2017). However, the number of sites in which silica has been evaluated is not known. The number of sites in each state is shown in Figure 5-1. Figure 5-1. Number of NPL Sites with Silica Contamination Crystalline Silica • c-Silica is ubiquitous and widespread in the environment, primarily in the form of quartz. Other predominant forms include cristobalite and tridymite. • Sand, gravel, and quartz crystal are the predominant commercial product categories for c-silica. • c-Silica enters environmental media naturally through the weathering of rocks and minerals and anthropogenic releases of c-silica in the form of air emissions (e.g., industrial quarrying and mining, metallurgic manufacturing, power plant emissions) or use in water filtration (quartz sand). SILICA 209 5. POTENTIAL FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE • c-Silica undergoes atmospheric transport as a fractional component of particulate emissions, is virtually insoluble in water and generally settles into sediment, and remains unchanged in soil. • c-Silica is present in air and water; therefore, the general population will be exposed to c-silica by inhalation of ambient air and ingestion of water. • Inhalation exposure is the most important route of exposure to c-silica compounds due to the development of adverse effects from inhaled c-silica in occupational settings. • Individuals with potentially high exposures include workers with occupational exposure to c-silica, which occurs during the mining and processing of metals, nonmetals, and coal, and in many other industries.

  • Toxicological Profile for Silica Released for Public Comment in 2017
    Toxicological Profile for Silica September 2019 SILICA ii DISCLAIMER Use of trade names is for identification only and does not imply endorsement by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, the Public Health Service, or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. SILICA iii FOREWORD This toxicological profile is prepared in accordance with guidelines* developed by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The original guidelines were published in the Federal Register on April 17, 1987. Each profile will be revised and republished as necessary. The ATSDR toxicological profile succinctly characterizes the toxicologic and adverse health effects information for these toxic substances described therein. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that describes a substance's toxicologic properties. Other pertinent literature is also presented, but is described in less detail than the key studies. The profile is not intended to be an exhaustive document; however, more comprehensive sources of specialty information are referenced. The focus of the profiles is on health and toxicologic information; therefore, each toxicological profile begins with a relevance to public health discussion which would allow a public health professional to make a real-time determination of whether the presence of a particular substance in the environment poses a potential threat to human health. The adequacy of information to determine a substance's health

Harper Jr. Submitted to the Department of Chemical Engineering on May 10, 2011 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemical Engineering ABSTRACT Nearly two-thirds of the United States' transportation fuels are derived from non-renewable fossil fuels. This demand of fossil fuels requires the United States to import ~ 60% of its total fuel consumption. Relying so heavily on foreign oil is a threat to national security, not to mention that burning all of these fossil fuels produces increased levels of C0 2, a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. This is not a sustainable model. The United States government has recently passed legislation that requires greenhouse gas emissions to be reduced to 80% of the 2005 level by the year 2050.
