  • Patent number: 12146223
    Abstract: The metal ceramic powder with a particle size of 15-45 ?m and suitable for thermal spraying is prepared through a combination of mechanical ball milling, spray granulation, and vacuum sintering. The metal ceramic powder is sprayed on a surface of a steel substrate adopting the high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) technology with oxygen-propane as fuel and taking oxygen as a combustion improver, propane as fuel, nitrogen as powder feeding carrier gas, and air as a cooling medium to prepare and form the NiCrBSi—ZrB2 composite coating. The present disclosure solves the problem that ZrB2 ceramic is difficult to compact during sintering and improves powder bonding strength and fluidity. The preparation method is simple, has advantages of high coating deposition efficiency and convenient equipment operation, and is cost-effective. The preparation method can improve thermal corrosion resistance and high-temperature wear resistance of a surface of boiler, and prolonging lifetime of the boiler.

  • Publication number: 20240151757
    Abstract: A method for achieving terminal-pair definition of four-terminal-pair (4TP) impedance and an application thereof are provided, which belongs to the field of precision measurement and metrology. A current output terminal of a two-stage follower is connected to a high current terminal of impedance through a coaxial line, and a voltage output terminal of the two-stage follower is connected to a high voltage terminal of the impedance through the coaxial line, which makes current of the high voltage terminal be 0, and core wire currents and outer wire currents of the high current terminal equal and reverse. The terminal-pair definition of the 4TP impedance can be satisfied; and the follower is added to make a bridge ratio variable and isolate effects of bridge load changes, thereby accelerating a balancing speed of the 4TP impedance bridge, and achieving accurate and fast comparative measurement having high precision of the 4TP AC impedance.
