Nano titanium diboride powder can be used to reinforce nickel-based alloys

Titanium diboride nanopowder has the characteristics of high melting point and high hardness, and is resistant to molten metal corrosion, and is often used for preparing composite ceramics. A*STAR (Agency for Science, Technology and Reseach), Singapore's largest research institute, has successfully improved the strength and thermal properties of materials by adding titanium diboride to nickel-based alloys commonly used in 3D printing. It is expected to expand its application again.

In this study, the base alloy chosen by scientists is currently a nickel-based alloy 625 that has been widely used in the marine industry. It consists of 55%-70% nickel, and other metals such as chromium, molybdenum, iron, niobium and tantalum. It has excellent corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. It has good tensile and fatigue properties from low temperature to 980 °C. And resistance to stress corrosion under salt spray atmosphere.

The scientists grind and mix the "Inconel625" alloy powder with titanium diboride powder with a particle size of about 58 nanometers, and then use the "Laser Assisted Additive Manufacturing" (LAAM) technology developed by the Singapore Institute of Technology and the Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology. A rectangular sample (size 120 mm x 70 mm x 10 mm, layer thickness 1 mm) was printed on a carbon steel substrate using a laser 3D printer with a 6-axis robotic arm.
Finally, through testing, they found that the sample was better than the pure nickel-based alloy 625 3D prints in terms of mechanical strength, thermal properties, and resistance to wear and corrosion. After further research, they found the reason for this change—the titanium boride nanoparticles aggregated to the boundary between the Inconel 625 grains, enhancing the grain boundaries (the contact interface between grains and grains is called grain boundary).

Guijun Bi, a researcher at the research project, stated: “The addition of nanoparticles to metal-based materials is an effective way to customize materials with significant improvements in physical, thermal, mechanical, abrasion and corrosion resistance. ". “We hope to continue researching this approach while exploring new nanocomposite composites for 3D printing.”

Acetamiprid is one of the safety Insecticide for agriculture

Insecticide acetamiprid  is an organic compound with the chemical formula C10H11ClN4. It is an odorless neonicotinoid insecticide produced under the trade names Assail, and Chipco by Aventis CropSciences. It is systemic and intended to control sucking insects (Lepidoptera, Thysanoptera, Hemiptera, mainly aphids) on crops such as leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, pome fruits, grapes, cotton, cole crops, and ornamental plants. It is also a key pesticide in commercial cherry farming due to its effectiveness against the larvae of the cherry fruit fly. Insecticide acetamiprid  is an insecticide belonging to the chloropyridinyl neonicotinoids, this family of insecticides was introduced in the early 1990s. This compound is an insecticide that is introduced for controlling pests, but also for domestic use to control fleas on cats and dogs. Mechanism of action: Insecticide acetamiprid  is a nicotine-like substance and reacts to the body in a similar way as nicotine. Nicotine is a n...

Sodium Cyclamate

Sodium cyclamate is no harm to human and has sugar-free and low-calorie food-grade sweetener although 30-50 times sweeter than sucrose .Sodium cyclamate is physically stable, resistent to heart acid and alkaline. Food additives sweeteners Sodium Cyclamate wholesale Sodium cyclamate is a white needle, flake or crystalline powder, an active pharmaceutical ingredient product that is stable under heat, does not absorb moisture in the air, does not ferment, and food grade cyclamate should be stored in a cool, dry, well ventilated place. He is a non-nutritive synthetic sweetener with a sweetness of 30-50 times that of sucrose and a price of only one-third of sucrose. It is widely used as a food additive in the world for refreshing beverages, fruit juices, ice cream, pastry foods and preserves. - Taste sweet,no bitter feeling - Harmless to health - Physically stable,resistent to heat,acid and alkaline - Easy of storage,do not absorb water from air,does not ferment Application: Sodium cyclama...

Hydroxyapatite - the new century bone

Due to the influence of diseases, aging, frequent traffic accidents and other factors, the number of cases of bone injury has increased year by year. According to statistics, there are 3 million orthopedic cases every year in China, and the demand for bone substitute materials is increasing. In recent years, bone substitute materials represented by hydroxyapatite have gradually become the darling of clinical application. Hydroxyapatite  is a major component of vertebrate bones and teeth and has good biological activity and biocompatibility. Compared with traditional metal (stainless steel, titanium alloy) and ceramic (alumina, silicon nitride) bone substitute materials, hydroxyapatite is not only highly resistant to corrosion and osteoinductive, but also its degradation in vivo is eliminated. The security risks of the former. At present, the research on hydroxyapatite in bone substitute materials mainly focuses on two aspects, hydroxyapatite coating and human bone bionic regenerati...
