In this paper, the influence of the extra solid phase reaction on the interface structure and mechanical properties of titanium carbonitride-based cermets were investigated. The extra solid phase reaction in the preparation process of cermets could induce the formation of a core/rim/binder interface with the coherent structure and reinforce the interface bonding strength in cermets. The existen...

The chemical formation of advanced ceramics from organometallic precursors is promising with respect to structural design and tailormade properties. We report on the synthesis of nanocrystalline titanium carbonitride materials at different pyrolysis temperatures via the polymer-to-ceramic transformation of synthesised poly(titanylcarbodiimides) and their structural and nanochemical characteriza...

Herein we report on a general approach to delaminate multi-layered MXenes using an organic base to induce swelling that in turn weakens the bonds between the MX layers. Simple agitation or mild sonication of the swollen MXene in water resulted in the large-scale delamination of the MXene layers. The delamination method is demonstrated for vanadium carbide and titanium carbonitride MXenes.

low carbon steel samples were both shot into and inoculated with titanium in order to improve mechanical properties such as strength and toughness. sem observations and x-ray analyses revealed that titanium nitride and titanium carbonitride precipitates being scattered in the ferrite substrate reduce the grain size in all as-cast, heat-treated and as-rolled cases. the growth of the grains at hi...

Composite titanium carbonitride (TiCN) thin films deposited on AZ31 by DC/RF magnetron sputtering were vacuum annealed at different temperatures. Vacuum annealing yields the following on the structure and properties of the films: the grain grows and the roughness increases with an increase of annealing temperature, the structure changes from polycrystalline to single crystal, and the distributi...

interstial free steels have good formability and also excellent deep drawability. these features make them one of the applicable materials in automotive industry. chemical composition and thermomechanical treatment used to process these steels have important role in final properties of them. in this study, the effect of chemical compositon on texture, anisotropical properties and bake hardenabi...
