Three types of sintered alloys were fabricated based on cobalt, nickel and high-temperature alloy ZhS32-VI matrix with titanium carbide strengthening phase. TiC content was in a range of 30–50 vol. %. The melting temperatures of alloys are higher than 1320°C, and they may undergo undamaged through all technological procedures together with turbine blades, including soldering and outgassing. DSC analyses indicates no additional thermal effects until melting, which confirms their structural stability. The examinations of microstructure revealed three types of constituents – TiC particles, matrix solid solution and blow outs – structural defects having negative effects on all the studied properties. It was found that heat resistance of nickel based sintered alloys at the temperature of 1100°C is superior as compared with the alloys based on cobalt and alloy ZhS32-VI. It has been established that wear resistance in conditions of fretting wear at temperatures of 20, 850, 950 and 1050°C of sintered alloy with ZhS32-VI matrix is mostly superior as compared with the other alloys. The properties of produced alloys allow to use them for manufacturing of components of friction couples operating in conditions of high temperature fretting wear, including protective pads of turbine blades top shrouds contact faces.
In this paper the chemo-rheological behavior of aqueous TiC suspension and physical properties of gelcasted green body were investigated. The monomer system used in this project was acrylamide (AM) and methylenebisacrylamide (MBAM). Polymerisation reaction was promoted by the addition of tetramethyl ethylenediamine as a catalyst and ammonium persulfate as a initiator. The effects of tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH), polyethylenimine (PEI) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) dispersants on the premix solution containing TiC powder have been studied via observation of the zeta potential and rheological behavior. The optimal amount of TMAH was achieved 0.4 wt.% at pH 9. The chemorheological results showed that the gelation time decreased and viscosity increased with increasing the monomer content, solid loading, initiator amount and temperature. The highest flexural strength of gel casted green body was obtained with 50 vol% solid loading and 25 wt.% monomers content.
Kompozyty cermetaliczne, w których osnowę metaliczną umacnia się cząstkami ceramicznymi, są szeroko wykorzystywane w przemyśle, wszędzie tam gdzie jest niezbędna duża odporność na zużycie ścierno-erozyjne oraz odporność korozyjna. Cermetale, w których fazą umacniającą jest węglik tytanu (TiC), są potencjalnie interesujące ze względu na poprawę właściwości wytrzymałościowych, sztywności oraz odporności na zużycie ścierne, szczególnie w podwyższonej temperaturze. W pracy przedstawiono wyniki badań korozyjnych kompozytu zbrojonego cząstkami nc-TiC na osnowie stali nierdzewnej 316L po różnych etapach przygotowania powierzchni: szlifowaniu, polerowaniu, elektropolerowaniu i utlenianiu w piecu. Pomiary potencjodynamicznych krzywych polaryzacji przeprowadzono w 3% roztworze NaCl. Wyniki badań wykazały negatywny wpływ nanokrystalicznej fazy umacniającej TiC na odporność korozyjną kompozytów.

The article presents structural and chemical investigation into Ti/TiC coatings, deposited by using Cold Gas Spraying Technology (CGS) onto titanium aluminium vanadium alloy (TiAlV) substrate. The main issues were to obtain nanostructured coatings with very fine titanium carbides, evenly distributed in the metallic matrix. Nanostructured powder was produced by the High Energy Ball Milling (HEBM), which – applying mechanico-chemical synthesis principles – leads to simultaneous getting of: improvement in material properties, fine phase distribution and uncompleted reaction. Nanostructured particles of 20÷40 μm in size were used during spraying process. The impact energy of nanostructured particles on the substrate was used to induce the uncompleted reactions. The structural investigations were carried out by using three methods: scanning and transmission electron microscopy (with Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy) and X-ray diffraction technique. Results show that the large titanium carbide particles were cracking after impact and did not show a good cohesion to titanium matrix. The fine particles were arranged in coating very densely. The energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) was used to identify the chemical elements in the coatings. The analysis detected only titanium and carbon. This enabled to distinguish the individual particles in the coating structure. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to identify the phase composition in coatings and revealed only α titanium and titanium carbide phases in coatings.

W artykule przedstawiono analizę struktury i składu chemicznego powłok Ti/TiC uzyskanych metodą natryskiwania na zimno (CGS) na podłoże ze stopu tytan-glin-wanad. Celem pracy było otrzymanie nanostrukturalnych powłok zbudowanych z bardzo drobnych węglików tytanu, równomiernie rozmieszczonych w osnowie tytanu. Nanostrukturalny proszek został wytworzony za pomocą wysokoenergetycznego mielenia (HEBM), które, wykorzystując prawa syntezy mechaniczno-chemicznej, doprowadziło do jednoczesnego uzyskania lepszych własności materiału, drobnodyspersyjnych faz i uzyskania stanu niekompletnej reakcji. Nanostrukturalne cząstki proszku o wielkości 20÷40 μm zostały użyte podczas natryskiwania. Energia uderzenia cząstek nanostrukturalnego proszku o podłoże pozwalała wywołać odpowiednie reakcje zapoczątkowane podczas mielenia. Badania struktury przeprowadzono za pomocą trzech metod: skaningowej i transmisyjnej mikroskopii elektronowej (w tym mikroanalizy rentgenowskiej) i technik dyfrakcji promieniowania X. Wyniki ujawniły, że duże węgliki tytanu po uderzeniu pękają i nie występuje dobra kohezja pomiędzy nimi a tytanową osnową. Z kolei drobne cząstki były równomiernie rozmieszczone w całej objętości powłoki. Powłoki były zwarte i jednorodne. Spektroskopia z dyspersją energii (EDS) została zastosowana w celu analizy składu chemicznego powłok. Potwierdzono obecność tylko tytanu i węgla. Analiza ta (wraz z analizą dyfrakcji elektronowych) pozwoliła, jednoznaczną identyfikację poszczególnych cząstek w strukturze powłoki. Technika dyfrakcji promieniowania rentgenowskiego (XRD) została użyta w celu identyfikacji poszczególnych faz w powłokach. Potwierdzono obecność dwóch faz – Tiα oraz TiC.
Paper presents the results from the study of the effect of materials with titanium addition on the strength properties of the iron ore sinter. The sinters with TiO2 addition or without TiO2 addition prepared in laboratory were applied in this research and were compared based on the structural and phase composition. Exploited was the method of the X-ray diffraction and method of elemental EDX analysis applying the electron raster microscope with the energo-dispersion analyser. Confirmed was the relationship between the sinter structure and its strength. Higher strength of the sinter without TiO2 addition is the result of the different phase composition of the compared sinters. In the sinter production considered should be not only the chemical composition of the entry components of the charge and the chemical composition of the final product but also its structural and phase composition.

W artykule tym przedstawiono wyniki badań wpływu materiałów z dodatkiem tytanu na właściwości wytrzymałościowe spieku z rudy żelaza. Spieki zawierające dodatek TiO2, jak i bez dodatku TiO2 przygotowane w laboratorium poddano porównaniu w oparciu o ich strukturę i skład fazowy. W badaniach zastosowano metodę dyfrakcji rentgenowskiej oraz metody analizy elementarnej EDX, badania te przeprowadzono na mikroskopie elektronowym przy zastosowaniu analizatora dyspersji energii. W wyniku pomiarów potwierdzono związek pomiędzy strukturą martwicy i jej wytrzymałość. Wyższa wytrzymałość spieku bez dodatku TiO2 jest rezultatem różnicy składu fazowego porównywanych spieków. Podczas wytwarzania spieku powinno brać się pod uwagę nie tylko składu chemicznego składników wejściowych i składu chemicznego produktu końcowego, lecz także jego strukturalne i skład fazowy.
W pracy przedstawiono możliwość przekształcenia klasycznych materiałów odlewniczych w kompozyty in situ. Materiały te znajdują coraz szersze zastosowanie w różnych gałęziach przemysłu, a szczególnie w przemyśle wydobywczym. Przekształcenie stopu klasycznego w materiał kompozytowy, wpływa wyraźnie na poprawę jego właściwości mechanicznych. W wyniku przeprowadzonych badań uzyskano nowy materiał inżynierski, który wytworzono metodą syntezy objętościowej z wykorzystaniem reakcji SHSB. Zastosowana metoda pozwala umocnić klasyczne materiały odlewnicze zarówno lokalnie, jak również objętościowo. Umocnienie to polega na syntezie cząstek ceramicznych w kąpieli metalowej, bezpośrednio w jednoetapowym procesie odlewniczym. Materiałem wyjściowym do badań było staliwo manganowe, które w wyniku przeprowadzonej reakcji syntezy, przekształcono w kompozyt typu MMCs. Fazą wzmacniającą nowego materiału były ceramiczne cząstki węglika tytanu. Prezentowane w niniejszej pracy wyniki, wskazują na znaczną poprawę zarówno właściwości mechanicznych, jak i użytkowych otrzymanego materiału kompozytowego, dotyczy to takich parametrów, jak twardości i odporności na ścieranie.

The study presents an opportunity to transform the traditional casting materials into in situ composites, the latter ones being currently used on a growing scale in various sectors of the industry, especially in the extractive industries. The transformation of standard alloy into a composite considerably improves the mechanical properties. As a result of the experiment, a new engineering material was produced by the method of bulk synthesis and an SHSB reaction. The method enables hardening of the traditional casting materials, both locally and in the whole volume of the material. The hardening is obtained by the synthesis of ceramic particles in a metal bath, directly in a one-step casting process. The starting material for research was cast manganese steel which, as a result of the reaction of synthesis, was converted into an MMCs type composite. The reinforcing phase in the new material were ceramic particles of titanium carbide. The results presented in this paper show a significant improvement in both mechanical and performance properties of the composite material obtained, this also applying to parameters such as hardness and abrasive wear resistance.

Zastosowano metodę reaktywnego osadzania z fazy gazowej RCVD do modyfikacji powierzchni włókien węglowych FT 300B w postaci rowingu. Dwa typy powłoki TiC oraz HfC wytworzono w reaktorach z kontrolowaną atmosferą reaktywną. Węglik tytanu powstał w wyniku reakcji węgla z powierzchni włókien z TiCl4, a węglik hafnu odpowiednio w wyniku reakcji z HfF4. Obserwacje metodami skaningowej mikroskopii elektronowej SEM wykazały powstanie powłok równomiernych, dobrze przylegających do podłoża o grubości 100-300 nm. Dzięki dyfuzyjnemu mechanizmowi tworzenia powłok nie wystąpił efekt mostkowania włókien. Skład fazowy włókien z powłokami scharakteryzowano metodą rentgenowskiej analizy fazowej XRD, która wykazała krystaliczną budowę powłok i obecność odpowiednio TiC oraz HfC. Uzyskanie powłok o wymaganej z punktu widzenia technologii kompozytów grubości i budowie wskazuje na celowość podjęcia prób ich aplikacji w kształtowaniu struktury połączenia w kompozytach umacnianych materiałami węglowymi.

The method of reactive chemical vapour deposition (RCVD) was used for surface modification of carbon fibers FT 300B roving. Titanium carbide TiC and hafnium carbide HfC coatings were obtained in reactors with controlled reactive atmosphere. The TiC carbide was formed by the reaction between carbon and TiCl4. The parameters applicated during the deposition in hydrogen atmosphere were as follows: temperature of 1020°C, time range of 5-30 min. The titanium carbide coatings with thickness 100-300 nm were uniform and good adherent to the fibers. The bridging effect was not observed and XRD patterns showed the presence of crystalline TiC. During formation of hafnium carbide layer the HfF4 reacted with carbon fibers in argon atmosphere at the temperature of 1050°C. Similarly to TiC coatings SEM investigations showed that HfC coating was uniform and good adherent to the fibers. The thickness on the level of 100 nm was estimated and bridging effect was not observed also. Two crystalline phases were identified by XRD method. The hafnium carbide HfC as the main one and hafnium oxide HfO2 additionally. Results of presented experiments revealed that the reactive diffusion can be useable during surface modification of carbon fibers by carbides. The effect of bridging (typical for coating deposition by such method as CVD and electrochemical and chemical electroless deposition) is excluded. Coatings obtained by RCVD are uniform, good adherent and their thickness can be controlled on the nanometric level. The experiments of coated carbon fibers with different liquid alloys are necessary for verification their potential application in metal matrix composites.

This paper presents a novel, economical method of synthesis of titanium carbide nanopowder. TiC has been sythesized in a combustion process by using TiO2 and C2Cl6 as reactants and metal Mg as a reductant. This synthesis was performed in the presence of sodium chloride (NaCl) or excess of magnesium was used to dilute the reacting mixture. The additives reduce the combustion temperature and prevent the metal crystallites from long - lasting, excessive growth and agglomeration. Combustion process was carried out in a constant pressure reactor under an atmosphere of argon at 1.0 Mpa. The raw combustion products were repeatedly washed with hydrochloric acid and with hot water. After drying, the purified titanium carbide powder were analyzed using thermogravimetric analysis, X - ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to characterize its chemical composition and structural features.
