Microstructure and phase evolution of ceramic layers on Ta-2.5W alloy
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract A Ta-N ceramic layer on the surface of a Ta-2.5W alloy was synthesized by ion nitrocarburizing to improve its surface mechanical properties. Two processing parameters, temperature and holding time, were respectively investigated of the effects on the phase evolution of the ceramic layer. At 800 °C, only a single diffusion layer consisting of α-Ta (solution of nitrogen) was present. When temperature was raised to 900 °C and 1000 °C, a compound layer, mainly composed of θ-TaN phase, was formed to replace the upper part of the diffusion layer, resulting in the dramatic improvement of surface hardness. The thickness of compound layer increased with holding time and approached 20 μm for the sample processed at 1000 °C for 3 h, corresponding to the optimal microhardness properties.
