L-PBF Ni-201 Feasibility Study Materials Characterization Summary

Nickel 200 and 201 are commercially pure nickel alloys with Ni-201 having a lower carbon content than Ni-200.These alloys are useful for their excellent corrosion resistance, good thermal conductivity, and mechanical properties. Very little information has been published on additive manufacturing (AM) of either Ni-200 or Ni-201, so a feasibility study to produce coupons with Ni-201 powder was performed. This work was carried out at NASA MSFC and Aerojet Rocketdyne. Contributors at NASA MSFC included Brian West, Zack Jones, Colton Katsarelis, and Matt Medders in collaboration with Dan Matejczyk and Alison Park at Aerojet Rocketdyne. The data provided in this report was collected by the MSFC. This feasibility study aimed to do the following

Molecular dynamics simulation of effects of solutes on dislocation propagation in Ni-based superalloys

Ni-based superalloys are used in the hot sections of jet turbine engines because of their high strength, stability and resistance to oxidation. The properties of these alloys can be further optimized by adding alloying elements. Therefore, a fundamental knowledge on the effect of different elements on properties of Ni-based superalloys is required. Molecular dynamics simulation could shed light here but its application is hindered by the absence of reliable and computationally cheap semi-empirical potential of the interatomic interaction for 4 and more element alloys. We will present a new Ni-Al-Cr-Nb Finnis-Sinclair (FS) potential specially designed to simulate the dislocation propagation from to  phase. In order to construct this potential, we designed a special algorithm to incorporate the data on element partitioning in the potential development procedure. For example, it is known from experiment, that Cr is mostly present in the gamma phase. Figure 1 shows a snapshot obtained after equilibration of the model of the Ni68Al17Cr15 alloy at T=1000 K using the hybrid Monte-Carlo (MC)/molecular dynamics (MD) simulation with the developed semi-empirical potential. One can clearly see that the Cr partitioning is in agreement with the experimental data. We will discuss the developed algorithm to incorporate the solute partition data in details. Using the developed semi-empirical potential, we first investigated the effect of anti-site defects in the  phase on the single dislocation propagation. It was found that the dislocation velocity increases with the increasing of the anti-site defect concentration. This effect was attributed to smaller number of Al-Al pairs forming during the dislocation migration in the presence of the anti-site defects. Next, we investigated the effect of Nb on the dislocation pair propagation in the Kolbe mechanism. It was found that the addition of Nb leads to considerable decrease in the dislocation propagation rate. This is in agreement with the experimental data on the effect of Nb on the creep resistance of the Ni-based superalloys. We will discuss the origin of this effect.

Preparation and physical properties of antiperovskite-type compounds CdNCo{sub 3-z}Ni{sub z} (0{<=}z{<=}3)

A series of CdNCo{sub 3-z}Ni{sub z} (0{<=}z{<=}3) samples were prepared from CdO and metal powders under NH{sub 3} atmosphere at 743 K. The structural and physical properties were investigated by means of X-ray powder diffraction, temperature dependent resistivity and magnetic measurements. X-ray powder diffraction results show that CdNCo{sub 3} is a new ternary nitride with antiperovskite structure, and it can form a complete solid solution series with CdNNi{sub 3}. Both CdNCo{sub 3} and CdNNi{sub 3} samples show metallic temperature dependent resistivity and exhibit a Fermi liquid behavior below 50 K. All samples are ferromagnetic, and their coercivity and remanence decrease as the Ni content increases. The temperature dependence of the magnetization of the CdNCo{sub 3-z}Ni{sub z} samples can be well fitted to the combination of a Bloch term and a Curie-Weiss term. The CdNCo{sub 3} sample is ferromagnet with coercivity of 240 Oe at room-temperature. In contrast to the paramagnetism previously reported, our CdNNi{sub 3} sample exhibits very soft and weak ferromagnetism. - Graphical Abstract: CdNCo{sub 3} is a new ternary nitride with antiperovskite structure, and it can form a complete solid solution series with CdNNi{sub 3}. Highlights: > CdNCo{sub 3-z}Ni{sub z} (0{<=}z{<=}3) samples were synthesized by solid-gas reactions. > CdNCo{sub 3} is a new ternary antiperovskite nitride, and it can form a complete solid solution series with CdNNi{sub 3}. > Both CdNCo{sub 3} and CdNNi{sub 3} samples show metallic behavior and exhibit a Fermi liquid behavior below 50 K. > Magnetic measurements show that CdNCo{sub 3} and CdNNi{sub 3} exhibit ferromagnetic and weak ferromagnetic behavior, respectively.

Ni5Ga3 Catalysts for CO2 Reduction to Methanol: Exploring the Role of Ga Surface Oxidation/reductions on Catalytic Activity

Ad-Ni5Ga3/SiO2 catalyst, which is highly active and stable for thermal CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, was investigated to understand its surface dynamics during reaction conditions. The catalyst was prepared, tested and characterized using a multitude of techniques, including ex-situ XRD, TEM, H2-TPR, CO chemisorption and in-situ ETEM and APXPS. The formation of Ga2O3 upon air exposure was observed and the consequences on catalytic activity were investigated. Results revealed that upon air exposure Ga migrates from the subsurface region to the surface of the nanoparticles forming a Ga-oxide shell surrounding a metallic core. The oxide shell can be reduced completely at high temperatures and the temperature of the reduction activation treatment plays a crucial role on the catalytic activity. This air exposure-reduction procedure results in a redistribution of the Ga species in the surface/subsurface region, promoted by a higher Ga affinity for oxygen. XRD analysis of the post-reaction samples provide evidence for the partial transformation of a Ni5Ga3 intermetallic phase into a Ni-rich Ni3Ga phase. APXPS data indicate that the Ni-rich phase forms in the subsurface region. A Ga-rich phase exists on the surface, where the Ni/Ga ratio reaches 2/3 upon activation in hydrogen. At low reduction temperatures an amorphous Ga2O3 shell remains, indicating a promotion effect on methanol synthesis activity.
