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.”

What is silicon carbide whiskers and its application

Silicon carbide whiskers are a kind of single-crystal fiber with a certain length-to-diameter ratio, which has very good high temperature resistance and high strength. It is mainly used in toughening applications where high temperature and high strength applications are required. Such as: aerospace materials, high-speed cutting tools. At present, it has a very high performance-price ratio. Silicon carbide whiskers are cubic whiskers, and diamonds belong to a crystal form. They are the whiskers with the highest hardness, the largest modulus, the highest tensile strength and the highest heat resistance temperature. It is both α-type and β-type, in which β-type performance is better than α-type and has higher hardness (Mohs hardness of 9.5 or more), better toughness and electrical conductivity, anti-wear, high temperature resistance, especially earthquake resistance Corrosion-resistant, radiation-resistant, has been applied to aircraft, missile casings and engines, high-temperature turbi...

Ultra-high density semiconductor type single-walled carbon nanotube horizontal array

ChinaPeking Universitycooperate with Chinese Academy of Sciencesto use ethanol / methanebychemical vapor deposition method to get ultrahigh-density semiconductor array level of  single-walled carbon nanotube . Nowadays, as electronic devices become smaller and smaller, silicon transistors have reached the bottleneck of their development. The horizontal array ofsingle-walled carbon nanotubesis regarded as the most powerful successor of future transistors due to its excellent performance. At present, obtaining high-purity, high-density horizontal arrays of single-walled carbon nanotubes is a major challenge for researchers. Although the direct formation of horizontal arrays ofsingle-walled carbon nanotubeson a substrate by chemical vapor deposition is an effective method for realizing high-performance electronic devices, conventional chemical vapor deposition is extremely active due to the generated methane plasma and ultra-high temperature hydrogen atoms....

Fipronil is one of the most widely used insecticide in the world

Fipronil products  is a broad-spectrum insecticide that belongs to the phenylpyrazole chemical family. it disrupts the insect central nervous system by blocking GABA-gated chloride channels and glutamate-gated chloride (GluCl) channels. This causes hyperexcitation of contaminated insects' nerves and muscles. It's specificity towards insects is believed to be due to its greater affinity to the GABA receptor in insects relative to mammals and its effect on GluCl channels, which do not exist in mammals. Because of its effectiveness on a large number of pests,  Fipronil products  is used as the active ingredient in flea control products for pets and home roach traps as well as field pest control for corn, golf courses, and commercial turf. Its widespread use makes its specific effects the subject of considerable attention. This includes ongoing observations on possible off-target harm to humans or ecosystems as well as the monitoring of resistance development. Use: Under the ...
