GONG Xuhui, XUE Gang, GAO Zhenpeng, MA Qian, FU Anxin
2021, 36(6): 1-6,35.
Abstract:
Isothermal and temperature-gradient double tension tests have been conducted on 4 lots of low alloy high strength hull steels to study the correlation between crack arrest temperatures obtained in different temperature fields. Test results indicate that under the same main tensile stress, the value of temperature-gradient crack arrest temperature is higher than that of isothermal crack arrest temperature. The difference of these two temperatures increases linearly with the increase of main tensile stress and shows an approximately quadratic function relationship with the plate thickness. Test procedures of isothermal and temperature-gradient double tension tests have been analyzed from the perspective of energy balance and the main influencing factors including main tensile stress, nil-ductility transition temperature and plate thickness, on which basis, a correlation expression is proposed and its validity is identified by test data of low alloy high strength hull steels with thickness no more than 80 mm.

2021, 36(6): 7-11.
Abstract:
The influences of Fe content (between 0.04% and 0.41%, w) on microstructures and properties of Ti80 titanium alloy have been studied. The results show that the increase of Fe content can improve the tensile strength at room temperature of Ti80 titanium alloy. The Fe content increases by 0.2%, the tensile strength increases by about 20 MPa. The increase of Fe content has no significant effect on plasticity and impact properties of the alloys. The Fe element can affect the structural morphology of the alloy. When the Fe content increases to 0.41%, the shape of α phase changes from globularity into long strip. During the 30-day test, the addition of Fe element reduces the open circuit potential of Ti80 alloy and results in the increase of average corrosion rates of the alloy under the conditions of natural seawater immersion and the seawater with a flow rate of 5 m/s. The seawater corrosion resistance of the alloy decreases, but still in the same order of magnitude with that of the normal Ti80 alloy.

Abstract:
The corrosion of steel fasteners exposed to marine environment for a long time seriously affects the service safety of marine engineering equipment and facilities. Electroplated alloy coating is a common protection method for fasteners, among which nickel-cobalt alloy coating has better corrosion resistance. In the study, SiO2 particles with different particle sizes are added into Ni-Co plating solution, and by the method of electrodeposition, Ni-Co-SiO2 composite is coated on 45 steel. Influences of SiO2 particle size on surface morphology and microstructure of the composite coating are analyzed, and corrosion resistance of the composite coating in NaCl solution with mass fraction of 3.5% evaluated. Microhardness and friction coefficient of the composite coating are tested. The results show that with the increase of SiO2 particle size in the bath, the distribution uniformity of SiO2 on the surface of the composite coating increases first and then decreases. When the SiO2 particle size is 70 nm, a more complete SiO2 film is formed on the surface of the coating. Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests show that the composite coating doped with 70 nm SiO2 has the best corrosion resistance. With the increase of SiO2 particle size in the bath, the hardness of composite coating decreases gradually, but its effect on friction coefficient is slight.

2021, 36(6): 31-35.
Abstract:
The effects of different surface treatments on corrosion resistance and coating adhesion of low magnetic stainless steel substrate were studied. The protective coating system of low magnetic stainless steel substrate was determined by electrochemical impedance and cathodic stripping resistance test. The results showed that sand blasting with brown corundum as abrasive could not only improve the surface roughness of the substrate, met the requirements of high adhesion coating, but also reduced the electrochemical corrosion of the substrate caused by residual particles on the substrate surface. The protective coating system with epoxy zinc yellow as the bottom layer could form a dense oxide film on the surface of stainless steel, which could greatly prevent the erosion under the film and increased the corrosion resistance of the coating several times.

Abstract:
Special surface structures of marine organisms such like sharks and dolphins have antifouling function, and the peristome of nepenthes possesses the feature of one-way transmission of liquid film. Both of the structures can provide references for antifouling and drag reduction designs for ship coatings. According to the rib-like structure on the surface of shark skin, unidirectional grooves and arc-shaped structures in the peristome of nepenthes, simplified microstructure with unidirectional V-type grooves are designed, and together with drag reduction rate calculated by CFD, bionic microstructure and size of the antifouling coating is determined. The microstructure topography template is prepared by using picosecond laser to etch the surface of the aluminum alloy, and then imprint the surface of the incompletely cured antifouling coating. Through the investigation and optimization of soft/hard template, curing time and imprint pressure, coating with large-size bionic microstructure is prepared. The 3-dimensional shape tester and contact angle tester are used to characterize the surface of the bionic microstructure coating, and the real sea immersion test is conducted. The results show that the surface microstructure morphology of the bionic coating is uniform and show good antifouling performance, with the microgroove spacing of 90.8 μm, the microgroove depth of 60.3 μm, and the surface contact angle of the microstructure coating of 121.7°.

2021, 36(6): 56-59,76.
Abstract:
The heat treatment experiments have been carried out on T2 and Q345R explosive welding composite plate at series temperatures, and the changes of its structure and properties are observed. The results show that the heat treatment temperature has no obvious effect on the shear strength, tensile strength and elongation of T2-Q345 clad plate. When the temperature is below 600℃, the clad grain size grows slowly, and the thickness of heterogeneous full-phase microstructure at the interface has little change compared with that of the explosive state. When it is above 600℃, with the increase of temperature, the grain size of clad layer grows rapidly, and the thickness of dissimilar metallographic structure at the interface increases rapidly.

MU Zhuangzhuang, LIAO Zhiqian, YU Wei, LEI Xiaowei, XU Yali, MA Zhaowei, XU Lefeng
2021, 36(6): 60-66.
Abstract:
The 8 mm thick TA5 titanium alloy is welded by IPG fiber laser, and the microstructure and mechanical properties of the welded joint analyzed. The result shows that the surface of the laser welded joint is continuous, uniform and with no splash, and there are no such internal defects as pores and cracks. The microstructure of base metal is equiaxed α phase, fine and uniform. The microstructure of weld zone is mainly composed of coarse β columnar grains, a large amount of acicular martensite α' and a small amount of lath martensite. The structure of heat affected zone is mainly composed of equiaxed α phase, a small amount of acicular martensite α' and a small amount of residue β. At the boundary of the fusion line, columnar grains and equiaxed grains are crossly crystallized and epitaxially grown, so as to ensure the stable connection of the welded joint. The Vickers hardness of each area of the welded joint varies greatly, the highest hardness exists near the fusion line, and the hardness of weld zone and heat affected zone is significantly higher than that of base metal. The tensile fracture exists at the base metal, away from the weld, indicating the tensile strength of the laser welded joint is equal to or slightly higher than that of the base metal. The high tensile strength of the weld is due to the net-basket structure formed by a large amount of acicular martensite.

MU Songwei, LIANG Yu, ZHANG Xinyue, CHEN Kaifeng, WANG Jingjing
2021, 36(6): 83-90,102.
Abstract:
Graphene oxide (GO) has the features of high specific surface area and good barrier, which can be used as filler to enhance the corrosion resistance of coatings. However, the interaction between the graphene oxide sheets makes it easy to form aggregates, which hinders the full play of its barrier properties. Serious aggregation may even lead to poor mechanical properties of the coating. In addition to GO, other nanomaterials are also widely used in anticorrosive coatings and show complementary functions with GO. The results show that the nanohybrid compounds obtained by surface modification of GO and other nanomaterials could help anticorrosive coatings achieve better anticorrosive performances. Based on the study, the research progress of GO based nano-hybrid system in improving anticorrosion performance of coatings is summarized, and its future development trend prospected.
