Preparation of nanocrystalline 430L stainless steel by both highenergy ball milling and spark plasma sintering technique has been investigated. The results have shown that the hardness can be improved markedly with an increase in sintering temperature and holding time. The lower the apparent porosity of nanocrystalline 430L stainless steel, the higher is the Vickershardness. The tensile strength reached a maximum value of 713 MPa when the sample was sintered at 1 173 K for 10 min, and then it evidently decreased with an increase in sintering temperature and holding time because of the growth of crystalline grain.

Structure and magnetic properties of Ni nanoparticles and Ni(C) nanocapsules were studied. The carbon atoms hardly affect the lattice of Ni to form Ni-C solid solution or nickel carbides. The large thermal irreversibility in zero-field-cooled and zero-field magnetization curves indicates magnetic blocking with a wide energy barrier. Saturation magnetization, remanent magnetization and coercivity of Ni(C) nanocapsules decrease with increasing temperature.

Surface tension of molten Ni and Ni-Co (5 and 10 mass fraction) alloys was measured at the temperature range of 1773~1873 K using an improved sessile drop method with an alumina substrate in an Ar+3%H2 atmosphere. The error of the data obtained was analyzed. The surface tension of molten Ni and Ni-Co (5 and 10 mass fraction) alloys decreases with increasing temperature. The influence of Co on the surface tension of Ni-Co alloys is little in the studied Co concentration range.

Ultrafine Ni particles have been obtained by evaporating pure Ni in methane gas atmosphere of 100 Torr, and in a mixture of H-2 and Ar of 760 Torr, respectively. The distinct characterization of the layers on two kinds of Ni particle surfaces were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and oxygen determination. The morphology and mean particle size were determined by transmission electron spectroscopy (TEM) and subsequent image analysis. The structure of ultrafine Ni particles were identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The effect of oxide and carbon layers on magnetization of the particles were studied by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). It was observed that a carbon-rich and an oxide of Ni2O3 layers were formed on the surface of Ni particles obtained in methane gas, and in a mixture of H-2 and A(r) gas atmosphere, respectively, it was shown that the methane gas makes resistance to oxidization during evaporating Ni in this gas atmosphere and no nickel carbides or Ni-C solid solution formed.

A Ni-Zn binary metal coating was electrochemically deposited on a copper electrode that was coated with nickel (bottom layer). This was then etched in concentrated alkaline solution (30 wt%NaOH) to produce a nanoporous Ni electrocatalytic surface for borohydride electro-oxidation in alkaline solution. The bulk and surface compositions of the coating before and after alkaline leaching were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. The surface morphology was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. The characterization showed that the leached Ni/Zn-Ni coating has a nanoporous structure. Electrocatalytic activity for boro-hydride electro-oxidation was assessed by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The improved activity of the electrode was related to the removal of corrosion products and the formation of nanopores and cracks during alkaline leaching. Cyclic volt-ammetry studies confirmed that the alkaline leaching process improved the activity of the Ni/Zn-Ni coating in comparison to that of a smooth Ni deposit, and it gave an anodic peak current density that was 21 times higher.

The effects of B, C, N, O, H, P and S impurities on the Ni/Ni3Al interface cohesion have been investigated by employing first-principles electronic structure calculations based on the discrete variational method. The binding energy, bond order, difference electron density, orbital occupations and density of states have been calculated to study the impurity-induced changes in the energetics and electronic structure. The impurities promote the Ni/Ni3Al interface cohesion and prefer to occupy the interface interstitial sites in the order S < P < H < O < N < B < C. The impurity-nickel covalent-like bonds form mainly due to impurity-p/Ni-d hybridization (except H-s/Ni-p hybridization in the H case). Meanwhile, the Ni-Ni bonding becomes weaker because of charge depletion on Ni atoms and bond misorientation resulting from the more homogeneous electron redistribution. In the order B, C, N and O, the impurity-metal bond varies from being homopolar to being much more heteropolar with increasing ionicity percentage, which results in decreasing p-d hybridization effects.
