β¦ Synopsis
Ti 3 SiC 2 crystal, growth mechanism, lubrication additive, tribological properties. Laminated Ti 3 SiC 2 crystals are prepared of Ti, Si, C and Al powders by the method of hot isostatic pressing with NaCl additive in argon at 1350 Β°C. The laminated morphology of Ti 3 SiC 2 is presented through the SEM and TEM observations. The results of high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns combined, it can be seen that the layers are of Ti 3 SiC 2 crystals. The growth mechanism of Ti 3 SiC 2 crystals, controlled by two-dimensional nucleation, is also explained. The tribological properties of Ti 3 SiC 2 crystals as additives in HVI500 base oil are investigated by a UMT-2 ball-on-plate friction and wear tester. The study shows that under determinate conditions, the friction coefficient of the base oil containing Ti 3 SiC 2 crystals is lower than that of pure base oil, and it decreases with the increase of mass percent of Ti 3 SiC 2 nanolayers when its proportion is lower than 5wt.%.

NbSe 3 nanofibers and NbSe 2 sheets were prepared by solid state reaction. The as-prepared products are characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the obtained NbSe 3 nanofibers have a diameter in the range of 100-300 nm and lengt
