Method for regulating and controlling growth of nanocrystalline texture by means of alternating ultrasonic frequency

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for regulating and controlling the growth of a nanocrystalline texture by means of an alternating ultrasonic frequency. The method includes the following steps that firstly, Pd-Sn sensitization pre-nucleation is performed on a substrate; secondly, the substrate is placed into nickel aminosulfonate system nickel plating liquid for electro-deposition, an ultrasonic generator I is arranged in the horizontal direction of electrodes in the electro-deposition process, and an ultrasonic generator II is arranged in the vertical direction; and (3) a sample where electro-deposition ends is subjected to aging stabilizing heat treatment in a protecting atmosphere. Due to the method, local undercooling of a micro area can be promoted in the dendrite growth process, andmore nucleation centers are triggered; dendrite fragmentation is performed so that the preferred growth tendency of the texture can be inhibited; the fragmentation dendrite becomes nucleation centersin other directions, and the defects of crystal whiskers and the like are avoided; Ni crystals grow randomly in various directions, the structure is compact, the Young modulus Er of the structure reaches 198 GPa, and the hardness reaches up to 914 HV<0.2>; and the process is simple, wiring of the ultrasonic generators is flexible, and operation is convenient.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for growing a nanocrystal texture, more particularly, to a method for regulating the growth of a nanocrystal texture by using alternating ultrasonic frequencies. Background technique [0002] Nickel-based superalloys / coatings have been widely used as high-temperature functional materials in aerospace, 3D printing, and biological bone devices. At present, the traditional DC electrodeposited Ni coating has texture coarsening, and large dendrites cannot be fragmented during the growth process, resulting in obvious texture fold-optimal coarsening and defects such as small-angle grain boundaries. In acidic and other corrosive media, there are Severe pitting tendency. During the high temperature oxidation process, due to the presence of Ni 2+ Cationic holes, external active [O] atoms take advantage of the holes to enter, resulting in oxidation of grain boundaries, making the microstructure of the coating low in density.

In recent years, the developed pulse electrodeposition technology uses high peak current density and overpotential to induce high nucleation rate, but in essence, the texture preferential growth trend along the Ni(111) direction of the low-energy close-packed surface does not It is not obviously suppressed, and some coarse dendrites still remain in the Ni coating. At the same time, the instantaneous high overpotential in the pulse electrodeposition promotes the non-spontaneous rapid crystallization, which brings a large number of substructures such as dislocations or crystals, which are not conducive to the thermal conductivity of nanocrystalline Ni. Stability; in order to solve the above problems, many scholars introduced a single direction (single frequency) ultrasonic oscillation field during the pulse electrodeposition process, the texture along the ultrasonic direction was fragmented, the grains were obviously refined, and the grain boundaries were clear , the properties such as hardness and toughness are improved, but the deposition rate is greatly reduced. The dendrites fragmented by ultrasonic waves are not adsorbed to the surface of active growth points to nucleate and add value, but are washed to the electrolysis by the action of ultrasonic micro-jet in a single direction. In the liquid solution, this part of the dendrite is free in the solution, which will easily lead to defects such as whiskers.
