TaC x powders of desired composition are prepared by heating a mixture of tantalum and graphite powders in vacuum or inert-gas atmosphere ().The heating is performed at a temperature of about 2,000 °C (2,270 K; 3,630 °F) using a furnace or an arc-melting setup.
Dome coated with DLC for optical and tribological purposes. A ta-C thin film on silicon (15 mm diameter) exhibiting regions of 40 nm and 80 nm thickness. A Co-alloy valve part from a producing oil well (30 mm diameter), coated on the right side with ta-C, in order to test for added resistance to chemical and abrasive degradation in the working environment.
The Journal of Coatings Technology and Research is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal. It is owned by the American Coatings Association and published on their behalf by Springer Science+Business Media. The editor-in-chief of the journal is Dr. Mark Nichols (Ford Motor Company). [1]
This tendency can be decreased by coating the silicon carbide particles with a suitable oxide or nitride, preoxidation of the particles to form a silica coating, or using a layer of sacrificial metal. [9] An aluminium-aluminium carbide composite material can be made by mechanical alloying, by mixing aluminium powder with graphite particles.
A conversion coating is a chemical or electro-chemical treatment applied to manufactured parts that superficially converts the material into a thin adhering coating of an insoluble compound. These coatings are commonly applied to protect the part against corrosion , to improve the adherence of other coatings, for lubrication , or for aesthetic ...
Diamond and graphite materials and structure. Diamond is an allotrope of carbon where the atoms are arranged in a modified version of face-centered cubic (fcc) structure known as "diamond cubic". It is known for its hardness (see table above) and incompressibility and is targeted for some potential optical and electrical applications.
In physical chemistry and engineering, passivation is coating a material so that it becomes "passive", that is, less readily affected or corroded by the environment. . Passivation involves creation of an outer layer of shield material that is applied as a microcoating, created by chemical reaction with the base material, or allowed to build by spontaneous oxidation
[30] [32] Similarly the flexural strength for TaC-SiC (20% vol) is 715 MPa at 1,900 °C which is about 40% higher than TaC (500 MPa) at the same temperature. [ 37 ] The Young's modulus for TiC-WC (3.5 wt%) - CNT(2 wt%) at 1,600 °C is 428 GPa vs 300 GPa for TiC and the flexural toughness of TiC-WC (3.5 wt%) - CNT (2 wt%) at the same temperature ...
