Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a novel high-performance repairable sliding plate of a pantograph of an electric locomotive and a manufacturing method thereof. The sliding plate includes a monometallic substrate and a conductive, wear-resistant, anticorrosion and self-lubricating coating integrated with the substrate. The coating is formed by plasma spraying Cu—TiO2 core-shell composite powder on the monometallic substrate directly, and includes the following components by mass percent: 60-70% of Ti4O7, 15-25% of Cu, 10-15% of TixO(2x?1) and 5-10% of TiO2, where 5?x?10. The multifunctional composite coating is the working layer of the sliding plate of the present disclosure, and the damage of the coating can be repaired by plasma spraying with the composite powder, thereby recovering dimensional accuracy and service performance.

Abstract: An electrical brush plating system and method for metal parts wherein a motion control member and a plating bath with a plating pen includes an anode member provided with an anode plate and bristles that are mounted on the motion control member. A part to be plated is disposed within the plating bath with the bristles provided towards the surface of the part to be plated and under the control of the motion control member, the bristles perform a relative friction motion with the surface of the part to be plated. During the relative friction motion, the surface of the part to be plated is opposite to the anode plate of the anode member. The method includes the steps of mounting the plating pen and the part to be plated; electrocleaning; strong activation; weak activation and electrical brush plating. The generation of pinholes, pits and nodules are avoided.

Abstract: Disclosed is an agglomerated TiN powder, the powder comprising spherical aggregates having particle diameters of 40 to 80 ?m and formed by the agglomeration of Ti and N having the atomic fractions of 72% and 28% respectively. Also provided is a TiN coating obtained using the powder. The three-strong-peak phase of the coating is a TiN phase, and also has partial TiO, TiO2, and Ti3O oxide phases; the coating has layered distribution of bright and dark phases, and the joint between the interior of the layered structure and the layer structure is provided with a small number of pores; the joint between the coating and a base has no microscopic defects such as cracks and is well jointed. The supersonic plasma-sprayed TiN coating achieves hardness as high as 1210HV0.1, thereby enhancing the wear resistance of the coating. The coating has good fracture toughness, thereby enhancing the fracture mechanical performance inside of the coating and extending the fatigue life of the coating.

Abstract: The invention provides a lead titanate coating and a preparing method thereof. According to the method, mixed powder is sprayed on the surface of a matrix, and through polarization, the lead titanate coating is acquired. The mixed powder comprises PbTiO3 powder, PbO powder and Al powder. Lead titanate (PbTiO3) is a kind of ferroelectric material, and can be used for preparing a piezoelectric sensor. Besides, the PbO powder and the Al powder are added, so that the piezoelectric property of the lead titanate coating can be improved. Since the lead titanate coating prepared by the present invention can be combined with the matrix closely and the intensity of piezoelectric signal is high, it can be widely applied to mechanical parts, such as a piston ring, a cylinder, a gear, and the like, to dynamically monitor the service situations of the parts better.

Abstract: The present invention disclose a smart coating comprising a substrate, optionally a first insulating layer, a plurality of first sensing units, a second insulating layer, a plurality of second sensing units and optionally a wear-resistant layer, wherein the plurality of first sensing units and the plurality of second sensing units have piezoelectric effect. The smart coating can provide real-time monitoring and feedback of the worn state of the surface of a part while eliminating the need to adhere a senor. Compared with the existing sensors and substrates bound by adhesion, the smart coating provided in the present application can avoid poor adhesion between the sensor and substrate. Furthermore, damaged positions can be located precisely so as to provide more and more accurate information regarding worn state of the part surface, which is in favor of monitoring and post-stage analysis on the worn state of the surface of the part.
