transversal directions to austenitic and ferritic grains orientation were<br />

compared. X-ray diffraction allowed identifying the surface microstructure<br />

after the nitriding. Nitriding at 300ºC promotes only N in solid solution<br />

(expanded austenite and ferrite). Treatments at 380ºC form iron nitrides at<br />

different stoichiometries in addition to N in solid solution. The thickness of<br />

N modified layers varies from 1 to 8 μm depending working PI3<br />

parameters. Mechanical properties were investigated by instrumented<br />

indentation at nanoscale, following the Oliver and Pharr method.<br />

Tribological behaviour was investigated by reciprocating sliding process at<br />

severe dry condition using WC(Co) and SiC balls as counter bodies.<br />

Nanoscratch tests were employed to investigate the surface brittle response<br />

under increasing loadings employing pyramidal stylus. The hardness at<br />

shallow depths is about 15 GPa and decreases to the bulk value (3-3.5 GPa)<br />

for both duplex steels. The highest hardness values are not modified at the<br />

surface by increasing the nitriding time as observed at shallow depths by<br />

nanoindentation tests. In addition, nitriding at surfaces oriented<br />

longitudinally to grains orientation or transversally to them did not cause<br />

modification in hardness measured profiles. The behaviors after nanoscratch<br />

tests for the steels nitrided at 300ºC are compared to pristine surface to<br />

evaluate the effect of occurrence of plastic deformation and/or fractures on<br />

grain boundaries on austenitic and ferritic phases. The results of<br />

conventional tribological tests for the both steels were compared<br />

considering the nitriding conditions (300ºC and 380ºC). Even in the<br />

presence of thin N modified layers, as in the case of nitriding at 300°C by<br />

1h, the wear resistance can improve by 10 times in respect to untreated<br />

sample. The effect of grain orientation in respect to nitriding and wear<br />

sliding test is discussed.<br />

It is well known that coating deposited on a cutting tool can improves the<br />

wear resistance of the tool, and hence prolongs the tool life. The<br />

performance of a coating is strongly depends on its mechanical and<br />

chemical properties. In machining process, the type of chosen coating<br />

depends on the cutting condition, due to properties of the applied coating<br />

material. In addition, there are also many factors that influence the<br />

performance of a coating, such as the coating thickness, the composition<br />

ratio, the sequences of layer in a multilayer coatings and the deposition<br />

method. In this paper, the properties of TiCN and TiCN/ZrN were<br />

characterised by using thermal shock and wear tests. The substrate material<br />

made from carbide-based cutting tool was also developed in house. From<br />

the characterisation analysis, it was found that the performance of TiCN and<br />

TiCN/ZrN coatings were comparable, and in some cases better than the<br />

commercial TiN coated carbide cutting tool.<br />

This work aims to investigate the effects of coating type on the cutting<br />

induced damage and surface integrity when dry machining glass/epoxy<br />

composites at intermediate fibers’ orientations. The wear rate mechanisms<br />

and the material removal process affecting the surface finish were analyzed<br />

on both the uncoated tungsten carbide (WC) insert and CVD and P<strong>CD</strong><br />

multi-layers (ML) coated inserts using the Atomic Force Microscope<br />

(AFM). The developed cutting forces and the generated mechanisms of chip<br />

formation were also investigated and correlated with the AFM<br />

measurements. The experimental findings showed good performance of<br />

coating layers to alter tool wear with comparison to P<strong>CD</strong> tool. It was found<br />

also that the improved adhesive properties of coating layers of carbide<br />

coated tool are capable to dissipate the sequential shock due to alternation<br />

of phases within the material. The aspect of cut surface of fiber was also<br />

discussed in details in order to explain the effects of fiber orientation on<br />

accelerating the tool damage.<br />

FP-1 Pseudocapacitive Performance of Vertical Copper Oxide<br />

Nanoflakes, Z. Endut (rg253c@yahoo.com), M.H. Abd Shukor, Center of<br />

Vertical copper oxide nanoflakes have been formed by oxidation in alkaline<br />

solutions. Their structural and surface morphology were characterized using<br />

X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy<br />

(FE-SEM) while its pseudocapacitive properties were investigated using<br />

cyclic voltammetry, charge-discharge testing and electrochemical<br />

impedance spectroscopy. The structural and surface morphological studies<br />

showed the grown copper oxide nanoflakes is amorphous and vertically<br />

grown with high lateral aspect ratio. Electrochemical study exhibited<br />

significant specific capacitance and good cycling activity in 1.0 M KOH<br />

electrolytes making vertical copper oxide nanoflakes as a promising<br />

candidate in supercapacitor electrode application.<br />

Cadmium oxide (CdO) with a cubic structure is an n-type semiconductor<br />

and shows a wide direct band gap of ~2.6 eV and a narrow indirect band<br />

gap of ~0.5 eV. Recently, CdO has attracted much attention because of its<br />

technological applications such as photodetectors, solar cells, gas sensors<br />

and nonlinear optics.<br />

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods utilizing the vapor-liquid-solid<br />

(VLS) mechanism are favorable for position- and size-controlled growth of<br />

nanostructures. In this paper, shape controllability and optical properties of<br />

CdO nanostructures grown by atmospheric-pressure CVD methods using<br />

Cd and H2O as source materials and Au naocolloids as a catalyst will be<br />

discussed in terms of substrate temperature, source supply ratio and growth<br />

time.<br />

The catalytic solution of Au nanocolloids diluted with ethanol was coated<br />

on the c-plane Al2O3 substrates by the spin-coating technique (1500 rpm, 5<br />

sec). Substrate temperature (TS) was varied in the range from 825 to 975 °C.<br />

Source temperature of Cd (TCd) was kept at 500 °C. The vaporizer<br />

containing H2O (TH2O) was kept at 54 °C. The nitrogen carrier gas flow rates<br />

for Cd and H2O (FCd and FH2O) were changed in the range from 10 to 60<br />

sccm.<br />

Various shapes of nanostructures, such as nanorods (NRs), nanotrees (NTs)<br />

and nanobelts (NBs), were successfully grown. Especially, it was found that<br />

the shapes of the NRs change from the cylinders to the cones with<br />

increasing TS, so-called “tapering”. In general, two different types of<br />

growth mechanisms are in progress simultaneously during the CVD<br />

process; one is the axial growth due to the VLS mechanism through the<br />

catalyst and the other is the radial growth due to the film growth mechanism<br />

on the NR’s side wall (VS growth). The tapering behavior is probably due<br />

to the rapid increase in radial growth rate with increasing TS. Moreover, the<br />

appearances of Y- and T-shape NTs and their 3D network structures suggest<br />

that the catalytic particles split and migrate during the growth process. We<br />

believe that the simultaneous work of the VS and VLS mechanisms together<br />

with the splitting and migration of catalytic particles is the driving force of<br />

the morphological variety of nanostructures<br />

Photoacoustic measurements revealed that the absorption edge shifts<br />

towards lower energies and the absorption band below the absorption edge<br />

becomes larger with increasing TS. This tendency is probably related to the<br />

increase in intrinsic defects introduced by the deviation from stoichiometric<br />

composition. Therefore, we must pay attention to the fact that the change in<br />

growth condition affects not only the structural shapes of the nanostructures<br />

but also their optical properties.<br />
