It has been reported that the size and shape of the pores depend on the structure of the base metal, the type of electrolyte, and the conditions of the anodizing process. The paper presents thin Al2O3 oxide layer formed under hard anodizing conditions on a plate made of EN AW-5251 aluminum alloy. The oxidation of the ceramic layer was carried out for 40–80 minutes in a three-component SAS electrolyte (aqueous solution of acids: sulphuric 33 ml/l, adipic 67 g/l, and oxalic 30 g/l) at a temperature of 293–313 K, and the current density was 200–400 A/m2. Presented images were taken by a scanning microscope. A computer analysis of the binary images of layers showed different shapes of pores. The structure of ceramic Al2O3 layers is one of the main factors determining mechanical properties. The resistance to wear of specimen-oxide coating layer depends on porosity, morphology, and roughness of the ceramic layer surface. A 3D oxide coating model, based on the computer analysis of images from a scanning electron microscope (Philips XL 30 ESEM/EDAX), was proposed.

The paper describes the researches of the SHS process initiation in samples of powder mixtures of reagents intended for steel parts hardening with an excess of Al or B2O3 by a heat source. Mixtures of reagents with different weight ratios of components were used as samples. Thereat, the initiation of SHS process in thin layers was conducted with a coating layer thickness of no more than 6 mm for all tested compositions. The dependences of the combustion rate on various factors including particle size of powder materials and charge composition have been obtained. The main factors influencing the dependences of initiation (ignition) and combustion rate are established, and the degree of influence of these factors on the dependences is estimated. The obtained results made it possible to correct the composition of the base mixture reasonably in order to achieve the required combustion rate.

In this study, hydrous ruthenium oxide was deposited on titanium(Ti) and carbon nanotube(CNT) substrate by cathodic deposition method. Combination of amorphous and nanocrystalline structure of hydrous ruthenium oxide was investigated by high resolution electron microscopy. The measured capacitance was found keeping nearly constant through charge/discharge processes for hydrous ruthenium oxide coating on Ti substrate. On the other hand, thin and uniform layer of hydrous ruthenium oxide coating can be deposited on CNT substrate. The thickness of the coating layer was found less than 10nm. Combination of amorphous and nanocrystalline structure of hydrous ruthenium oxide was also investigated on this specimen. The consumption of coating was found very effective for this specimen after 105 charge/discharge cycles which lead to the tremedenously decreasing in the measured capacitance.

Abstract Lithium anode could greatly increase the energy density of the cell, but inevitable lithium dendrites hinder its application. A powerful coating layer can effectively suppress the growth of dendrite by promoting a fast and uniform Li+ flux. Here a polyolefin separator coated with a layer of nano cellulose fiber (NCF) and graphene oxide (GO) is designed to restrain the growth of Li-dendrite and accommodate thermal shrinkage resistance. The results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed that the NCF/GO coating with a mass ratio of 3:5 showed the highest value of ionic conductivity. The Li/separator/Li symmetrical battery with NCF/GO coated separator can work for 65 hours during continuous charging before the voltage dropping down to zero, which is about 40% longer than the battery with bare polyolefin separator. In addition, the NCF/GO coating layer can also increase the retention capacity ratio of a cell by more than 10% in the 100 charge/discharge cycles. In this paper, the as-prepared NCF/GO coating separator provides a reference for designing a long-life and safety battery with Li-anode by effectively inhibiting the lithium dendrite.

NaxMnO2 (NMO) is treated by a wet chemical method in this paper. The treated NMO can form a copper oxide coating layer, and some of the coating layer can be peeled off, smoothing the surface of particles. Electrochemical measurement shows that treated NMO can maintain 72.6% of its specific capacity after 300 cycles, which is better than the 58.7% specific capacity of untreated NMO materials. Additionally, the ratio of capacity remaining rate can be improved from an initial 87% to 99.5%. So, this wet chemical method is available to smooth the electrode surface and reduce the internal impedance, and thus to effectively improve electrochemical performance during the battery cycle.

Failure of a two-layer plasma-deposited thermal barrier coating is caused by cyclic thermal exposure and occurs by spallation of the outer ceramic layer. Spallation life is quantitatively predictable, based on the severity of cyclic thermal exposure. This paper describes and attempts to explain unusual constitutive behavior observed in the insulative ceramic coating layer, and presents details of the ceramic cracking damage accumulation process, which is responsible for spallation failure. Comments also are offered to rationalize the previously documented influence of interfacial oxidation on ceramic damage accumulation and spallation life.

The present research aimed to study the possibility to increasing flame retardancy of polymeric composite materials reinforced by fibers by coating by a flame retardant layer represent antimony tetroxide (Sb4O6) as a coating layer (4mm) thickness to react and prevent spread of flame on surface of composite material consist of epoxy resin reinforced by Kevlar fibers and exposed this coating layer to oxyacetylene flame with different exposure intervals (10,15,20mm) and study the range of resistance of flame retardant material layer to the flames and protected the substrate .The experimental results show that a great increment in thermal resistance and flame retardancy after coating by tetroxide as well as rising flame resistance increased exposure distances to flame . Determination the percentage contribution effects of main factors were time , exposure interval ,and noise variables (error) to the variability of the surface temperature at significant level (α=0.05) .Results show that the percentage of main factors were :time=63.15% , exposure interval=14.81% and noise variables=22.04%.
