The presence of large regions with similar crystallographic orientation, called ‘macrozones',could drastically decrease the fatigue performance of titanium alloys. The present work reports on the crystallographic orientation of a near-α titanium alloy, Ti60, billet after annealing in an α+β phase field.The texture was found to be weak, and no obvious macrozone was found in our measured zone where the variant selection is suppressed. Meanwhile, in-depth electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD) analysis was applied to evaluate the final microstructure, and the mechanisms by which they formed were analyzed.展开更多

Dendritic α phase emerged on the surfaces of primary α phase when the alloy was air-cooled in α ＋β phase field after deformation. The dendritic α grain has the same orientation with its original primary α grain. The formation of the dendritic α phase could be explained by interface instability in epi- taxial growth process of the primary α phase. The dislocations induced by deformation could facilitate the formation of dendritic α phase leading to the dendritic α phase and more obvious with the increase of strain. The growth of dendritic α phase was finally limited by the nucleation of second α phase with cooling.展开更多

Meanwhile, the crystallographic orientation of prior b grains was studied by advanced electron backscattered diffraction data processing. The inhomogeneity of microstructure within welded joint was formed due to the different microstructures of BM. By comparing microstructure details of the welded joint, including microstructure morphology and crystallographic orientation with those of the base material, it can be found that both the microstructure morphology and crystallographic orientation of the EBW joint would be controlled by BM.展开更多

We carry out In Ga As materials growth, optical characterization, device design and fabrication, and photomixing experiments. This approach is capable of generating a comb of electromagnetic radiation from microwave to terahertz. For shortening photomixer carrier lifetime, we employ proton implantation into an epitaxial layer of lattice matched In Ga As grown on InP. Under a 1.55 μm multimode In GaAs/In GaAsP quantum dot laser excitation, a frequency comb with a constant frequency spacing of 50 GHz generated on the photomixer is measured, which corresponds to the beats of the laser longitudinal modes. The measurement is performed with a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. This approach affords a convenient method to achieve a broadband multi-peak coherent THz source.展开更多
