Air Plasma-Sprayed MCrAlY Coatings with Low Oxide Content Enabled by Adding a Deoxidizer
Authors: Zhu Yong-Sheng , Xue Xuan , Luo Xiao-Tao , Li Chang-Jiu
Published: August 2024

MCrAlY coatings prepared by plasma spraying have been commonly utilized as a thermal protective coating for crucial heated end components due to their high mechanical properties and excellent high-temperature oxidation resistance in aggressive environments. However, the oxides introduced during the preparation process have an adverse impact on the properties of the MCrAlY coatings. In the present work, an attempt was made to deposit NiCrAlY coatings by air plasma spraying (APS) with a low oxide content achieved by introducing carbon as a deoxidizing element. During spraying, the carbon is preferentially oxidized and the formed gaseous CO is completely removed rapidly. Thus, the in-flight oxidation of metal elements can be suppressed to achieve oxide-free particles. Individual in-flight droplets were collected with liquid N2 to clarify the deoxidation effect. Results demonstrate that the oxygen-free NiCrAlYC droplets can be achieved by adding deoxidizing element carbon. The oxide content of NiCrAlYC particles is 0.43 wt.%, being much lower than the 2.87 wt.% of conventional NiCrAlY particles. The adhesive strength test yielded an adhesive strength higher than 71 MPa for NiCrAlY coatings APS-prayed by the oxide-free NiCrAlYC molten droplets, which is much higher than 53 MPa for the conventional NiCrAlY coatings.

Authors: Algoburi Ahmed , Ahmed Rehan , Kumar Vishakh
Published: August 2024

Cavitation is a wear process in engineering systems caused by the energy release of collapsing bubbles leading to the failure of critical components such as valves, pumps, and propellers. Thermally sprayed coatings can be applied to improve the wear resistance of these components. This investigation considers a WC-NiCrBSi coating composition under cavitation wear, where the WC phase provides the strength and the NiCrBSi matrix offers corrosion resistance in seawater. Coatings were deposited on AISI 440C stainless steel discs of 32mm diameter and 8mm thickness using industrially optimized parameters for the HVOF JP5000 system. Indirect cavitation tests were conducted using a modified ASTM G32 testing procedure on coated test coupons in as-sprayed and Hot Isostatic Pressed (HIPed) conditions. Two tests were performed for each coating using natural seawater of pH 8.19 at room temperature, and averaged wear values are reported to compare the cavitation rate and cumulative mass loss of the coatings. Coating microstructural phases in the as-sprayed and HIPed conditions were identified using X-ray diffraction. The microstructure of the coating substrate system and post-cavitation test wear scars were investigated using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). This investigation provides an understanding of the corrosive-cavitation wear behavior and failure modes of coatings. The cavitation erosion rate and cumulative mass loss results showed that the as-sprayed WC-NiCrBSi coatings improve the cavitation wear resistance of the substrate.

Published: August 2024

Aerosol deposition (AD) is a novel method for producing dense nanocrystalline ceramic films at room temperature. Previous studies primarily used flat substrates with varying hardness and roughness. However, the development of micro-device applications is increasing the demand for deposition on structured/patterned surfaces. To investigate the impact of substrate patterns on coating microstructure and growth mechanisms in AD, alumina coatings were deposited on patterned Si substrates. Si wafers with patterns of micropillars were employed. The coatings were characterized using laser scanning microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and x-ray diffraction. The microstructure and density of coatings in the valleys were influenced by the size of and the spacing between the patterns. The results revealed that coatings initially formed in the valleys before covering the entire pattern. Fragments of the initial powder particles became trapped between the patterns, adhering to the groove bottoms and pillar sides. Subsequent particle impacts and densification processes transformed these fragments, ultimately filling the gaps between the walls. With further deposition, a uniform coating surface was achieved.
Effect of Surface Preparation by Laser Texturing in Thermal Spraying on the Fatigue Life of the Ti-6Al-4V Alloy

Published: August 2024

The Ti-6Al-4V alloy is widely used in aerospace applications for its excellent mechanical properties, however, it presents low wear resistance. It is often coated with a cermet using high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spraying to improve its wear performance. The Cr3C2-NiCr cermet becomes particularly interesting since it is non-carcinogenic, compared to traditional cermet coatings containing tungsten-cobalt compounds. While the improvement in wear resistance of Ti-6Al-4V with this coating has been demonstrated, its impact on the fatigue performance of the alloy remains to be studied. This is precisely the aim of this study, which focuses on the fatigue life of a Cr3C2-25NiCr-coated Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Among the various influencing factors, surface preparation represents a significant source of crack initiation, particularly in the case of sandblasted surfaces. Indeed, the inclusion of fragmented alumina particles can produce stress concentration zones. Thus, laser texturing, which is a method involving the creation of anchoring points through controlled ablation, can be considered today as a less harmful surface preparation technique. The results obtained from cyclic tensile fatigue tests with a stress ratio of 0.1 for these two surface preparation methods are presented in this paper.

Published: August 2024

Cold spray metallization of carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) has attracted increasing interest for potential applications in providing lightning strike protection (LSP) to aircraft. This study aims to assess the LSP performance of cold-sprayed copper and aluminum coatings on a Polyaryletherketone (PAEK)-based carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic polymer (CFRTP). Lightning strike tests with a peak current of 70 kA were performed on full-surface copper and aluminum coatings, and grid-patterned aluminum coatings. The lightning strike process was captured by a high-speed camera to investigate the fracture behavior of the cold-sprayed CFRTP specimens. Results revealed that the full-surface copper coating, which had higher electrical resistivity and was thinner than the aluminum coating, experienced explosive coating fractures. Conversely, the aluminum coating incurred less damage, effectively protecting the underlying CFRTP from lightning current without visible ply lift or carbon fiber fracture. Furthermore, grid-patterned aluminum coatings also exhibited LSP capabilities, with their denser mesh reducing both the area of coating fractures and the thermal damage to the CFRTP surface.
Offline Robot Programming for Generating Coating Paths Quickly and Accurately
Authors: Schneebeli Stephan , Karandikar D.A.
Published: August 2024

To achieve the optimum quality of thermal spray coating, the material must be applied by controlled, smooth and steady movement. This is best executed by robots. Complex geometries such as hydro turbine parts, hot gas casings or gas turbine blades are difficult to coat with common methods of robot programming such as teach-in. These methods take longer time and tedious calculations to generate robot coating paths. SoftART - a Switzerland based company - has developed a software-based offline programming process to produce robot paths quickly and accurate for an optimized coating result. Based on the 3D-model of the workpiece, the target points of the robot are calculated in a line pattern. Then, the spray direction for each point gets determined with optimized spray angle, considered collision avoidance and robot reachability. Based on this raw data, the line movement will be smoothed to avoid uneven accelerations of the robot axis to produce a uniform coating result. Finally, the data gets postprocessed and a robot specific, ready to run movement program will be generated. This offline programming process is well tested on many different parts and industries and fits best when you have either a complex geometry or many similar parts, which must be coated individually.

Published: August 2024

This paper presents an RGB-D visual odometry (VO) approach, designed to enable precise state estimation for a camera-equipped unmanned ground vehicle operating within indoor environments, with a specific focus on its applicability in mobile manufacturing systems including thermal spray. The proposed method utilizes both color images and depth information (through RGB-D camera data) followed by feature detection, frame-to-frame feature matching, and subsequent robot state estimation. To enhance the accuracy of the estimation, an optimization method known as local bundle adjustment, is also integrated into the developed visual odometry framework. For evaluation purposes, we established a ground truth by leveraging an onboard LiDAR sensor to capture the camera path. This ground truth trajectory is then compared with the estimated camera trajectory, incorporating the 3D model of the environment through the utilization of keypoints matched along the path.

Published: August 2024

The properties of the coating depend, among other things, on the preparation of the substrate surface and the spray parameters. One of the key properties of the coating is its adhesion to the substrate. Suitable preparation of the substrate surface has a great influence on the adhesion of the thermal spray coating. This work aims to study the influence of surface preparation on roughness of substrate and the resulting surface adhesion of coating. Another aim was to compare the effect of the chosen adhesion measurement method. A series of measurements of the roughness of the samples after grit blasting was performed. The effect of using new and used corundum was also taken into account. The selected coating for testing was TWAS (twin Wire Arc Spray) sprayed Zn15Al. The substrate material was low carbon steel 1.0570. The following adhesion measurement methods were chosen for the experiment - adhesion tensile test according to ASTM C633 - 79 standard, method using a special sample holder based on the ASTM C633 - 79 standard.

Published: August 2024

Revealed as a process for surface functionalization and repair, cold spray is currently used as a reliable additive manufacturing process thanks to its ability to fabricate dense solid-state deposits with high deposition efficiency. However, cold-sprayed deposits generally present limited mechanical and structural properties due to manufacturing defects such as microporosities and weak interfacial particle bonding. As solutions, post-processing methods such as heat treatment or hot isostatic pressing are proposed to reduce manufacturing defects and optimize final deposit properties. This paper investigates the heat treatment effect on structural and mechanical features of cold sprayed 3D Aluminium part by comparing deposits properties evolution with the additive growth in the as sprayed and heat-treated states. Thus, a study is carried out to identify the right heat treatment conditions for optimizing deposits properties.

Published: August 2024

The multi-layered thermal barrier coatings (TBC) are commonly used in the systems exposed to extensive heat, such as jet engines or gas turbines. The testing of coatings' performance is usually carried out using electric or gas furnace. Concentrated solar power (CSP) could provide cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative using natural energy source. Moreover, it can also simulate materials exposure in real applications, e.g., in solar power-plants. In this study, possibility of using concentrated solar power to test the performance of hybrid YSZ-based TBCs prepared by hybrid water/argon-stabilized plasma (WSP-H) technology was studied for the first time. In service, TBC top-coat layer may be exposed also to so-called CMAS air-borne particles occurring in the atmosphere which may melt at elevated temperatures and penetrate the coating microstructure, inducing crystallographic and volumetric changes therein. Therefore, testing with the presence of CMAS particles was also included in this study to observe its influence on the coating microstructure under solar irradiation. Changes of the coating microstructures were studied using SEM analysis and X-ray diffraction.

El catecismo patriótico de Emiliano R. Fernández como invocación política en el Paraguay de posguerra (1936–1937)
Authors: González González Erasmo
Published: August 2024

Among the variety of verses written by the popular Paraguayan poet, Emiliano R. Fernández, there is a patriotic catechism in support of the presidency of Colonel Rafael Franco. This catechism was a political invocation that did not have a significant impact on the population, as its publication in any written media of the time is unknown. However, it constitutes an interesting document for understanding the political vision of a bard who was distant from circles of power, proposing civic virtues in a post-war, revolutionary, and nationalist context. This article seeks to understand the influence of Colonel Franco's government on the catechism of Emiliano R. Fernández for post-war Paraguayan society as a model of social coexistence. Additionally, it aims to understand the poet's intention in writing the catechism. To this end, its content is analyzed by comparing it with the new government's discourse and the measures adopted.

The article analyzes the strategic role of Ukraine's agricultural sector in the context of modern globalization and intense international competition. It highlights the significance of grain production enterprises within the country's agro-industrial complex, which play a key role in shaping both domestic and international grain markets. The study addresses the issue of economic efficiency of these enterprises. It is established that the development of effective management approaches and optimization mechanisms for agricultural enterprises will contribute to solving the problem of stabilizing operations and enhancing international competitiveness. The factors influencing the economic efficiency of grain production were examined, taking into account the research of leading scholars, which allowed the development of comprehensive recommendations for improving the conditions of agricultural business. Significant changes in the grain market caused by military actions and the political situation, which significantly reduced the sowing areas and disrupted traditional logistics of export through sea ports, are described. Before the aggression, the main share of grain was exported through Black Sea ports, specifically through Mykolayiv and Odesa, accounting for 95% of all grain shipments. Military actions led to the blockade of these routes, forcing a reorientation of grain export to western ports, resulting in significant logistical costs. The necessity of adapting logistical chains and finding alternative export routes to stabilize agricultural exports and minimize the impact on global food security is emphasized. Based on the analysis, ways to optimize the agricultural sector are proposed, including through state support for farmers, subsidized lending, provision of planting materials and fuel, and the need for demining and ensuring safe working conditions. The prospects for further research in the direction of innovative development of the agricultural sector to enhance its productivity and competitiveness are outlined.

The article is devoted to studying modern trends in the development of Ukraine's milk processing sector. It also reveals the level of actual dairy product consumption by the country's population. As the study results showed, it has been significantly lower than the recommended parameters in recent years. Your role in the dairy sector is crucial to addressing this issue and shaping the future of the industry.
The dynamics of milk production volumes by main categories of producers were analyzed. The key structural changes in the industry's development have been identified, among which the most significant is the long-term concentration of production in the sector of small producers—households. In the modern structure of milk production, the share of households in the population is 66%, and 31% is provided by agricultural enterprises of various forms of management.
The concentration of production of dairy raw materials within the household sector is accompanied by a low number of problematic issues that hold back the potential of greening, innovative development, and increasing the competitiveness of domestic dairy products. However, there is a silver lining. Strategic orientations for further management changes in the dairy sector of Ukraine's enterprises were outlined, highlighting the potential for organic dairy production. The activation of further development of organic dairy production and the greening of dairy products and trade brands were identified as critical factors. According to the current assessment, the share of organic milk production in EU countries is insignificant. This creates real prospects for Ukrainian dairy companies to increase their competitive potential in the domestic and European milk products market.
Based on the research results, a list of the main characteristics inherent in organic production in the country's dairy sector was substantiated. The set of key challenges that necessitate the constant management of changes in the dairy industry enterprises are outlined. The main ones are defined as: structural disparities by category of milk producers, constant complication of dairy product quality standards by the EU, loss of the potential of domestic feed production, low paying demand of the population of Ukraine, slow pace of transformations towards greening and implementation of sustainable development initiatives of the agri-food sector of Ukraine. However, the research results also demonstrated active trends in the development of trademarks of dairy companies in Ukraine, which contributes to a more intensive formation of competitive advantages among them. These findings are crucial for understanding the current state and potential future of the dairy sector, and they also inspire hope for the industry's future.

Support systems can change lives. However, their own lives are filled with burdens and responsibilities. When people go through normal mood swings, it not only affects them but also the ones surrounding them. To help those who are living with someone who is already living with bipolar disorder, it is important to conduct an in-depth analysis of the lives and suffering of family members. Family members or caregivers face numerous uncertainties that could be explored through a qualitative study and how family members deal with such challenges. Family members of four patients were thoroughly interviewed, and their challenges were analyzed under six dimensions—financial burden of the caregivers, disruption of routine family activities, disruption of family leisure, disruption of family interaction, physical health of the caregivers and mental health of the caregivers—by considering the Family Burden Interview Scale developed by Pai and Kapur in 1981. Instances of disruption in family leisure, activities, and interactions were greater than the physical health and financial burdens. Financial burden was more evident in nuclear families living in rural areas. While considering the mental health of the caregivers, most of them mentioned stress due to increased responsibilities.
