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.”

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....

The application of nano materials in plastic modification

The organic/inorganic nanocomposite formed by dispersing the inorganic filler in a nanometer size in a general plastic matrix is called nanoplastic. In nanocomposites, nano-plastics have excellent properties such as high strength, heat resistance, high barrier properties, flame retardancy and excellent processability due to the nano-size effect of the dispersed phase, large specific surface area and strong interfacial bonding. A new kind of high-tech new materials. Application of nanomaterials in plastic modification: (1) Anti-aging properties of reinforced plastics The anti-aging properties of polymers directly affect its service life and environment, especially for agricultural plastics and plastic building materials, which is an indicator that needs high attention. The ultraviolet light in the sunlight is 200 to 400 nm, and the ultraviolet light in the 280 to 400 nm band can break the molecular chain of the polymer and never age the material. Nano-oxides, such as  alumina na...
