Superior Graphite’s Post

Excited to share that our paper "Microstructural Evolution and Interfaces in Cold-Sprayed Hybrid Aluminum Alloy Powders of Different Hardness" has been published in Surface & Coatings Technology! This study highlights the development of high-strength aluminum alloy deposits using a novel Aluminum High Entropy Alloy (Al HEA), which, due to its high hardness and low cold sprayability, was blended with Al 6061 to form a hybrid composite. By leveraging the ductility of Al 6061 and the strength of Al HEA, the hybrid approach enabled better cold sprayability, leading to the evolution of unique interface mechanics that balanced strength and ductility in the final deposit. Big thanks to my co-authors Anil Lama, Ambreen Nisar, PhD, Sohail M.A.K. Mohammed, Tanaji Paul, and Arvind Agarwal for their invaluable contributions!

Problem solving at its best!

Sanxing Feirong SP series vertical sand mill can grind with 0.1mm zirconium beads to below 20nm. 1. Inorganic seal: no troubles of leakage, damage or maintenance (a mechanical seal can also be added to the upper end of the grinding chamber according to the customer's tightness requirements, but the mechanical seal basically does not contact the beads, and the probability of wear is extremely low) 2. No screen: dynamic centrifugal bead separation system, no clogging, no need to clean the screen and sieve beads 3. The rotor adopts the structural design of convex pin + turbine, which has high energy density. 4. The grinding chamber and component materials can be customized according to customer requirements: zirconium oxide, polyurethane, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, alloy steel, etc. 5. The fineness is controllable, and 0.1mm zirconium beads can be used to achieve nanoscale grinding.
