In this study, we examined the simultaneous enhancement of mechanical and shape memory properties using heat-treatment homogenization of Ti_(2)Ni precipitates in a Ti_(50.6)Ni_(49.4)SMA fabricated using SLM. Specifically, because of the complete solution treatment, nanoscale spherical Ti_(2)Ni precipitates were homogeneously dispersed throughout the grain interior. Interestingly, the resultant SMA exhibited an ultrahigh tensile strength of 880 ± 13 MPa, a large elongation of 22.4 ± 0.4%, and an excellent shape memory effect, with a recovery rate of > 98% and ultrahigh recoverable strain of 5.32% after ten loading–unloading cycles. These simultaneously enhanced properties are considerably superior than those of most previously reported Ti Ni SMAs fabricated using additive manufacturing. Fundamentally, the enhancement in tensile strength is ascribed to precipitation strengthening and work hardening, and the large plasticity is mainly attributed to the homogeneous nanoscale globular Ti_(2)Ni precipitates, which effectively impeded the rapid propagation of microcracks. Furthermore, the enhanced shape memory properties are derived from the suppression of dislocation movement and formation of retained stabilized martensite by the presence of high-density dislocations, nanoscale Ti_(2)Ni precipitates, and abundant interfaces. The obtained results provide insight into the enhancement of the two types of properties in Ti Ni SMAs and will accelerate the wider application of SMAs.展开更多

However, to our knowledge, the correlation between flow and crystallization behavior inthe HPDC process has never been established. In this study, we report on the solidification behavior ofZr_(55)Cu_(30)Ni_(5)Al_(10) glass forming liquid under various flow rates. Surprisingly, the resulting alloys display adecreasing content of amorphous phase with increase of flow rate, i.e. increase of cooling rate, suggestingthat crystallization kinetics of glass-forming metallic liquids in the HPDC process is strongly dependenton the flow field. Analysis reveals that the accelerated crystallization behavior is mainly ascribed to therapid increase in viscosity with a decreasing temperature as well as to the huge shear effect in the glassforming liquid at the end stage of the filling process when the temperature is close to the glass-transitionpoint;this results in a transition from diffusion- to advection-dominated transport. The current investigation suggests that flow-related crystallization must be considered to assess the intrinsic glass-formingability of BMGs produced via HPDC. The obtained results will not only improve the understanding ofcrystallization dynamics but also promote the high-quality production and large-scale application of BMGparts.展开更多

文摘As one of the most important forming technologies for industrial bulk metallic glass (BMG) parts withcomplex shapes, high-pressure die casting (HPDC) can fill a die cavity with a glass-forming metallic liquidin milliseconds. However, to our knowledge, the correlation between flow and crystallization behavior inthe HPDC process has never been established. In this study, we report on the solidification behavior ofZr_(55)Cu_(30)Ni_(5)Al_(10) glass forming liquid under various flow rates. Surprisingly, the resulting alloys display adecreasing content of amorphous phase with increase of flow rate, i.e. increase of cooling rate, suggestingthat crystallization kinetics of glass-forming metallic liquids in the HPDC process is strongly dependenton the flow field. Analysis reveals that the accelerated crystallization behavior is mainly ascribed to therapid increase in viscosity with a decreasing temperature as well as to the huge shear effect in the glassforming liquid at the end stage of the filling process when the temperature is close to the glass-transitionpoint;this results in a transition from diffusion- to advection-dominated transport. The current investigation suggests that flow-related crystallization must be considered to assess the intrinsic glass-formingability of BMGs produced via HPDC. The obtained results will not only improve the understanding ofcrystallization dynamics but also promote the high-quality production and large-scale application of BMGparts.

文摘NiTi-based shape memory alloys(SMAs)are considered as cutting-edge intelligent functional materials.However,it remains a great challenge to obtain ultrafine-grained(UFGed)bulk materials with mm-scale size as well as outstanding superelastic properties.Here,UFGed bulk Ti_(35)Zr_(15)Ni_(35)Cu_(15)NiTi-based SMA is successfully prepared via spark plasma sintering of amorphous ribbon precursor at different sintering temperatures,and microstructural evolution and superelastic properties are symmetrically investigated.It is found that its grain size ranges from UFG to micro-grain with increased sintering temperature regard-less of the predominant B2 matrix in all bulk samples.Interestingly,the orientation relationships between B2 matrix and nano-scale fcc(Ti,Zr)_(2)Ni precipitate evolve from coherent to incoherent.Consequently,the UFGed samples exhibit perfect superelasticity with the high recoverable strain of∼5.8%,the stable recov-ery rate above 99%,and the great critical stress inducing martensitic transformation higher than 1 GPa,far superior to the corresponding ones of suction-cast micro-grained TiZrNiCu SMAs.Fundamentally,the perfect superelasticity is attributed to the good resistance to dislocation slip or grain boundary slip by residual nano-scale amorphous phase or secondary phase of coherent and semi-coherent fcc(Ti,Zr)_(2)Ni precipitate.In addition,the gentle superelastic plateau is associated to the favorable transfer stress and the strong ability to accommodate dislocation movement,which is generated by the coherent interface between nano-scale fcc(Ti,Zr)_(2)Ni and UFGed B2 matrix.These results suggest that spark plasma sintering of amorphous alloy precursor is a feasible route to obtaining excellent superelasticity in NiTi-based SMAs.

文摘In this paper,a numerical code,RFPA2D（rock failure process analysis）,was used to simulate the initiation and propagation of fractures around a pre-existing single cavity and multiple cavities in brittle rocks.Both static and dynamic loads were applied to the rock specimens to investigate the mechanism of fracture evolution around the cavities for different lateral pressure coefficients.In addition,characteristics of acoustic emission（AE） associated with fracture evolution were simulated.Finally,the evolution and interaction of fractures between multiple cavities were investigated with consideration of stress redistribution and transference in compressive and tensile stress fields.The numerically simulated results reproduced primary tensile,remote,and shear crack fractures,which are in agreement with the experimental results.Moreover,numerical results suggested that both compressive and tensile waves could influence the propagation of tensile cracks;in particular,the reflected tensile wave accelerated the propagation of tensile cracks.

文摘The face-centered cubic structure(fcc)and its deformation behaviors,as well as the distinctive role of fcc-Ti in nanocrystallization in TC17 subjected to high energy shot peening(HESP),were investigated by using comprehensive high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM).The results showed that there was a stress-induced fcc-Ti in TC17 with a lattice constant of 0.420–0.433 nm and the B-type orientation relationship between the hcp-Ti and the fcc-Ti as[2-1-10]_(hcp)//[-110]_(fcc)and(0001)_(hcp)//(111)_(fcc),which was accomplished by the gliding of Shockley partial dislocations with Burgers vector of 1/3[01-10]on the basal plane.The deformation twinning dominated the subsequent deformation of fcc-Ti,producing two types of{111}<11-2>twins with different characteristics.Among them,the I-type twin with complete structure was generated by successive gliding of Shockley partial dislocations with the same Burgers vector of 1/6[11-2].In contrast,the cooperative slip of three Shockley partials,whose sum of Burgers vectors was equal to zero,produced the II-type twin with zero net macroscopic strain.And then,the emission of Shockley partial with the Burgers vector of 1/6[11-2]on every three(111)fccplanes resulted in the formation of a 9R structure.Due to the dissociation effect of lamellar fcc-Ti and the superior deformation ability of fcc structure,the occurrence of fcc-Ti effectively promoted surface nanocrystallization of TC17.

文摘The superτ-charm facility(STCF)is an electron–positron collider proposed by the Chinese particle physics community.It is designed to operate in a center-of-mass energy range from 2 to 7 GeV with a peak luminosity of 0.5×10^(35) cm^(–2)·s^(–1) or higher.The STCF will produce a data sample about a factor of 100 larger than that of the presentτ-charm factory—the BEPCII,providing a unique platform for exploring the asymmetry of matter-antimatter(charge-parity violation),in-depth studies of the internal structure of hadrons and the nature of non-perturbative strong interactions,as well as searching for exotic hadrons and physics beyond the Standard Model.The STCF project in China is under development with an extensive R&D program.This document presents the physics opportunities at the STCF,describes conceptual designs of the STCF detector system,and discusses future plans for detector R&D and physics case studies.

文摘Texture formation is frequently observed in parts produced by Laser Powder Bed Fusion(L-PBF),which can induce anisotropy and may potentially degrade plasticity.In this study,we introduce a laser remelt-ing strategy to mitigate these adverse effects.By employing experimental observations and numerical simulations,we established the relationship between melt pool thermal history,variant selection,and mechanical properties.Our results indicate that the strengthening of texture can be prevented by dis-rupting the variant selection memory effect when there is a difference in scanning speeds between the printing and remelting lasers.The achieved random variant orientation is attributed to the altered cool-ing rates and temperature gradient directions during solidification across different layers.The optimized Ti-6Al-4V alloy demonstrates high strength(1211.5±13.3 MPa)and significant elongation(12.3%±0.8%),exhibiting a superior strength-ductility synergy compared to samples produced by direct printing or laser remelting with consistent parameters,as well as most reported L-PBF processed Ti-6Al-4V alloys.Our findings provide new insights into phase transformation kinetics in L-PBF of Ti-6Al-4V alloys and facilitate the Optimization of this process for manufacturing high-performance components.
文摘High transverse momentum(pT)particle production is suppressed owing to the parton(jet)energy loss in the hot dense medium created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.Redistribution of energy at low-to-modest pT has been difficult to measure,owing to large anisotropic backgrounds.We report a data-driven method for background evaluation and subtraction,exploiting the away-side pseudorapidity gaps,to measure the jetlike correlation shape in Au+Au collisions at √sNN=200 GeV in the STAR experiment.The correlation shapes,for trigger particles pT>3GeV/c and various associated particle pT ranges within 0.5<pT<10GeV/c,are consistent with Gaussians,and their widths increase with centrality.The results indicate jet broadening in the medium created in central heavy-ion collisions.
