The influence of the initial structural state of wurtzite boron nitride on the formation of the grain structure of ego-based materials.I. Structural characteristics of particles of initial powders of BNv

The results of the study of the initial structure of wurtzite BNv particles obtained from graphite-like BN in shock waves with and without water addition, as well as the structure of BNv particles obtained with water addition, after deformation treatment at high (3 GPa) pressure at room temperature and shear rolling, are presented. It is shown that the particles of BNv synthesized with the addition of water always have a larger size in the prismatic section than the particles of BNv synthesized without additives. Treatment at room temperature with high pressure of BN powder obtained with the addition of water contributes to the grinding of particles mainly in the developed (basic) surface. When rolling such a powder, particles are crushed both in the developed surface and in thickness, as well as substructural transformations due to plastic deformation (lattice, rotation, by twinning).

Key words: boron nitride, particle, cutting, deformation, pressure, rolling, substructure, twinning, rotation.

A novel layer-structured PtN2: first-principles calculations

Platinum nitride as the first successfully synthesized noble metal nitride shows superior mechanical properties and exotic electronic structure that rival those of conventional transition metal nitrides. In the past, various crystal structures have been proposed to understand its unusual properties. However, very few works pay attention to the dynamic stability of these phases. Here, we examine the potential structures of platinum nitride with a chemical composition of PtN2 by utilizing a widely adopted evolutionary methodology for crystal structure prediction. Except reproducing the previously proposed phases, we also identify a Pmmm symmetric novel layer structure with a low formation enthalpy that is slightly lower than those of marcasite and CoSb2 structures but slightly higher than that of pyrite structure. The elastic constants and the lattice dynamical calculations show that this layer-structured PtN2 is mechanically and dynamically stable. The calculated band structures suggest this new phase together with the simple tetragonal phase are metallic, while other phases are insulators. In addition, it is found that the fluorite structure is dynamically unstable by the phonon spectrum calculations, although it is mechanically stable as suggested by calculated elastic constants.

Keywords: Noble transition metal nitrides, mechanical properties, electronic properties, thermodynamic properties.

Influence of deposition parameters of nitrides of high-entropy alloys (TiZrHfVNb)N on their structure, composition, mechanical and tribological properties

Nitrides of high-entropy alloys (TiZrHfVNb)N, obtained by vacuum-arc evaporation of the cathode, were investigated using scanning electron and atomic force microscopy, energy dispersive analysis, Rutherford ion backscatter analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis, microhardness measurements, and tribological tests. The effect of deposition parameters on the structure, surface morphology, distribution of elements, mechanical and tribological properties of the investigated coatings was found.

Effects of sintering temperature and addition of Fe and B4C on hardness and wear resistance of diamond reinforced metal matrix composites

The effects of sintering temperature and addition of Fe instead of Co into the matrix composition on the mechanical properties of diamond-reinforced MMC’s have been studied. Diamond-reinforced MMC’s based on Fe–Co compositions with and without boron carbide (B4C) have been processed. Three different matrix composites (with different Fe/Co ratios) have been produced with and without B4C at a pressure of 25 MPa and sintered in N2 at various temperatures (800, 900, and 1000°C). After sintering, mechanical properties of the resulting composites have been studied and the results discussed. Addition of B4C has been found to improve the hardness and wear resistance of the composites. Optical microscopy, SEM and EDS have been used to examine the microstructure and surface of the synthesized composites.

Keywords: diamond, powder metallurgy, Fe-based metal matrix composites, hardness, wear.

Optimization of diamond grinding modes of P6M5F3 steel taking into account non-stationarity of the process

The optimization of the modes of diamond grinding of P6M5F3 steel is considered, taking into account the non-stationarity of the process caused by the change in time of the cutting ability of the working surface of the grinding wheel. For optimization, mortise grinding according to an elastic scheme with a constant force of pressing the workpiece to the working surface of the wheel, the kinematics of which is similar to grinding according to a rigid scheme, was used. The area of ​​possible modes of diamond grinding according to the elastic scheme at the beginning of processing is considered in the coordinate system of the speed of the part and the force of the workpiece. The speed of the part is determined by the given value of the roughness of the machined surface of the product. The clamping force of the workpiece is chosen to be minimal, based on the conditions of ensuring the absence of phase-structural transformations in the surface layer of the processed material, the absence of oxidation of diamonds, and the non-destruction of diamond grains. Nonstationarity of the process was taken into account using equations describing the change during processing of the current limited cutting capacity of the grinding wheel.

Key words: grinding, non-stationarity, optimization, part speed, clamping force, cutting ability, depth of cut.

Dynamic stability of the turning process of nickel superalloys when using a cutter holder obtained by the method of layer-by-layer laser sintering

The results of a comparison of the stability of the tools with standard and experimental tool holders when turning the nickel superalloy Inconel 718 with an oxide ceramic tool reinforced with silicon carbide whiskers are presented. It is shown that the use of an experimental cutter holder with a mesh spatial structure leads to a significant suppression of vibration during processing, as well as stabilization of the cutting process in the range of speeds of 200–500 m/min. It was established that the advantages of the tool with the sintered holder are related to the damping properties of the developed cutter holder.

Keywords: dynamic stability, turning, Inconel 718 alloy, tool wear, wavelet analysis, “0-1” test.

Deep cleaning of detonation nanodiamond material

New variants of chemical purification of detonation nanodiamonds and diamond-containing detonation charge from water-insoluble metal-containing impurities by treatment at high temperature with 0.5–20% (by mass) complex solutions at a ratio of detonation nanodiamond material to complexone are presented. As complexes, you can use sodium 2,3-dimercaptopropanesulfonate, disodium salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Trilon), thiourea, potassium rhodanide, dicyandiamide, hexamethylenetetramine. Cleaning of detonation nanomasses can also be carried out under ultrasonic action. The most effective was the combined use of ultrasonic treatment and treatment with solutions of complexes, while the amount of metal-containing impurities was significantly reduced.

Keywords: detonation nanodiamonds, chemical cleaning, complexons, ultrasonic impact.
