In this work, we present a method for simple preparation of magnetic iron oxide nanopowders by electroerosion dispersion (EED) of carbon steel in water. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) have attracted considerable interest in many fields of research and applied science due to their impressive properties. In the past, in order to fix biomedical issues, the development of MNPs has been promoted. For technical applications, such as wastewater treatment and absorption of electromagnetic waves, the existing synthesis approaches are too expensive and/or the producible quantities are too low. We describe the synthesis method, the laboratory installation and discuss the structural, chemical and electromagnetic properties of the syn-thetized EED powders, as well as their applicability for microwave absorption compared to other available ferrite powders. The electromagnetic properties of the EED powder allow microwave absorption values like that of hexaferrite powders and values considerably larger than that of the commercially available iron oxide powder: Magsilica. The production of the EED powder, however, is much simpler. Modern applications with high-frequency electromagnetic fields (satellite-TV, mobile funk, WLAN technologies, radar for traffic and aerial supervision, microwave heating, drying, sintering, up to automotive and medical applications) require very low-cost absorbing materials. This allows reduction of the electromagnetic radiation exposure on biological systems, assures the safe operation of instruments and equipment (prevention of wireless signal leakages) or facilitates modern communication applications [1].

The results of the study of structures and mechanical properties of ceramic materials will be discussed. These ceramic materials were obtained by hot pressing from the submicron AlB₁₂C₂ and AlB₁₂ powder [1], with and without the addition of TiC, as well as from B₄C, without and with SiC additions. Temperature, pressure and composition of the starting powder are optimized to obtain sintered bodies with desired high mechanical characteristics. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and Raman microspectroscopy are utilized to investigate phase composition and microstructure of the sintered ceramics. High compression strength (1551 MPa for B₄C, 1878 MPa for B₄C-SiC-based material and 795 MPa for AlB₁₂C₂-TiB₂ based material) together with high bending strength, hardness, fracture toughness, and a light weight make the synthesized and sintered ceramics very promising as a shock-wave resistant material. The effect of C, TiC and SiC additions on the properties of the resultant composites and the particularities of the ceramics destruction under shock loading will be discussed. The results of the modeling of ballistic characteristics will be discussed. The performed ballistic tests of 10 mm thick plates from the developed ceramic had a 2.63 g/cm³ density as well as a composition of 78 wt.% of B₄C and 22 wt.% of SiC according to X-ray diffraction analysis. According to SEM microprobe X-ray analysis, stoichiometries B_3.64CSi_0.01 and SiC_1.07, respectively, showed that the plates can withstand the shot of a B32 bullet with kinetic energy of 3.7 kJ from a 10 m distance.

Paper Id: 117 [Abstract]

New low cost masking coatings have been developed. These coatings are based on corrosion resistant polyurethane and acrylic-urethane priming varnishes and paints of Ukrainian manufacture (InterGasSinthez). In addition, the coatings are also based on nanopowders of polyvalent iron oxides obtained by electroerosion dispersion [1], carbon, omega spheres (based on silica and alumina), and basalt fibers demonstrating high absorption abilities (90-99%) of microwaves in a wide range of frequencies (10-70 GHz, wavelength 0,03-0,0043 m) with their reflection close to zero (-10 Db - - 23 Db or 10% -0.5%). Polymeric bases of the developed coatings are used to protect against corrosion of metal structures in all macroclimatic areas, in sea and fresh water, in saline solutions, and in oil and oil products that are resistant to ultraviolet radiation, aggressive media. They demonstrate high mechanical performance (adhesion, strength, elasticity) and long service life. The coatings can be used for painting of ships, deck structures, containers, building constructions and buildings, auto and railway transports, parts and mechanisms, etc.

Paper Id: 107 [Abstract]

MAX phases of Ti-Al-C system are the most examined and perspective for high temperature applications; they are light, electro conductive, having high damping and low friction abilities, etc. But despite the combination of unique properties they did not find yet wide spread application (it is difficult to synthesize single phased material, they should combine a set of properties and even the singlephased materials can have very different characteristics because of synthesis parameters) [1]. The bulk Ti₂AlC, Ti₃AlC₂ and (Ti,Nb)₃AlC₂ developed by us are promising for the manufacture of interconnects of solid hydrogen fuel cells, pantograph, as damping substrates under the incisors, and others. The films with an approximate stoichiometry of Ti^3.3-3.9AlC_1.4-1.6 (5 I�m thick) deposited on Ti substrate using a vacuum-arc method from the hota�� pressed target (Ti₂AlC (57 wt.%) +Ti₃AlC₂ (43 wt.%)) were extremely promising for high-temperature applications, in particular for interconnects fuel cells and as cavitation resistant coatings on turbines. After 1000 h heating at 600 ^oC the surface electrical conductivity of the films only slightly decreased from 0.01 to 0,01-3 Ohm while the surface of pure Ti after 250 h in the same conditions totally oxidized and lost conductivity. Investigation of the influence of H₂ for 3 - 40 h and oxidation up to 1000 h at 600 ^oC, as well as thermocycling in air up to 600 ^oC on the bending strength and mass change of Ti₃AlC₂, (Ti,Nb)₃AlC₂, Ti₂AlC showed that the highest absolute value demonstrated Ti₂AlC and it was the most stable in the oxide medium (seems due to presence of some oxygen in the structure - Ti_2.2AlC_0.9O_0.17). The bending strength of the Ti₃AlC₂ and (Ti,Nb)₃AlC₂ even increased after heating in H₂. The addition of Nb allowed increasing the stability of the MAX phase in H₂, and in air (the oxide film was twice thinner than that on the samples without Nb after 1000 h heating at 600 ^oC). The high temperature X-rays showed that Ti₂AlC was oxidized more intensive than Ti₃AlC₂ at higher temperatures (Ti₂AlC was stable up to 700- 750 ^oC and Ti₃AlC₂ - up to 1050-1100 ^oC). The most stable at thermal cycling to 1200 ^oC was a high-density material based on the MAX phase Ti₃AlC₂, obtained by two-stage technology (synthesis in vacuum with subsequent compression by hot pressing at 30 MPa). The oxidized layer of specimens contained ~100% of Ti₃AlC₂but synthesized by one-stage hot pressing at 15-30 MPa for 10-30 min was twice thicker. The wear of Ti₃AlC₂ materials obtained at 30 MPa according to the one- and two-stage technologies was very low (as compare to silumin), but the wear of the copper in contact with them was rather high. Significant reduction of wear of copper was achieved when the manufacturing pressure was reduced to 15 MPa: during friction in pair with copper its wear resistance in comparison with traditionally used silumin was 40 times higher, and the wear of copper was 14 times smaller (after 6 km of the way); Besides, Ti₃AlC₂demonstrated much higher arc resistance.

High Entropy Alloys are characterized with specific properties, including high hardness, wear-resistance, high strength, structural stability, corrosion and oxidation-resistance [1-5]. The complex of desired properties defines the increasing interest for the application in different fields of engineering. In spite of the interest towards High Entropy Alloys/materials, most of the traditional methods do not allow the fabrication the desired varieties of composites due to the technological limitation. On the other hand, investigations towards high entropy materials are increasing as there are some properties that have to be studied and validated in multi-component systems. The goal of the current investigations is to carry out experiments and define synthesis regimes for Ti-Ni-Fe-W-Cu system powders by mechanical alloying and establish the technological parameters for the formation of High Entropy Alloys. The other goal of the work is to make experimental investigations for the synthesis of bulk materials by an explosive consolidation technique. The paper describes the preliminary theoretical investigations and initial experimental results of mechanical alloying and explosive compaction of the Ti-Ni-Fe-W-Cu multi-component system. As a result, the preliminary investigations establish the technological parameters for mechanical alloying. The blend with different percentages of content of powders was prepared. The high energetic planetary ball mill was used for blend processing, mechanical alloying, and amorphization ultrafine/nanopowder production. The time of processing varied in the range of 1-28 h. Selected Ball milled blends were compacted by explosive consolidation technology. For shock wave generation, the industrial explosives and new explosives obtained from decommissioned weapons were used in the experiments. The technological parameters of the explosive consolidation have been studied and are discussed in this paper.
