They are constructed with five or more principal alloying elements in equimolar or near-equimolar ratio. Therefore, HEAs can derive their performance from multiple principal elements rather than a single element. In this work, solid-state cold spraying(CS) was applied for the first time to produce FeCoNiCrMn HEA coating. The experimental results confirm that CS can be used to produce a thick HEA coating with low porosity. As a low-temperature deposition process, CS completely retained the HEA phase structure in the coating without any phase transformation. The characterization also reveals that the grains in the CSed HEA coating had experienced significant refinement as compared to those in the as-received HEA powder due the occurrence of dynamic recrystallization at the highly deformed interparticle region. Due to the increased dislocation density and grain boundaries,CSed HEA coating was much harder than the as-received powder. The tribological study shows that the CSed FeCoNiCrMn HEA coating resulted in lower wear rate than laser cladded HEA coatings.展开更多

AM has been applied to form complex components of Ti, Fe or Ni alloys. However, for other nonferrous alloys such as AI alloys, Mg alloys and Cu alloys, AM may not be appropriate because of its melting nature during processing by laser, electron beam, and/or arc. Cold spraying （CS） has been widely accepted as a promising solid-state coating technique in last decade for its mass production of high-quality metals and alloys, and/or metal matrix composites coatings. It is now recognized as a useful and powerful tool for AM, but the related research work has just started. This review summarized the literature on the state-of-the-art and problems for CS as an AM and repairing technique.展开更多

The results show a trend counter to common observations: coating plastic deformation levels and coating density decreases with an increase in particle impact velocity. A lower particle impact velocity and the consequent lower deposition efficiency(DE) results in greater tamping energy per unit volume of deposit,which is the primary reason for the observed trend. This is the first time that DE has been shown to have a non-linear impact on the density of a cold spray coating, with particle in-process tamping being the primary mechanism for coating densification.展开更多

Outward K<sup>+</sup> currents were induced by a series of depolarizing voltage pulses from a holding potential of -70 mV to +20 mV in an increment of 10 mV.RESULTSExtracellular application of DSX voltage-dependently suppressed both the steady-state and peak current amplitudes of outward K<sup>+</sup> currents in rat RGCs. Furthermore, DSX reversibly and dose-dependently inhibited the amplitudes of outward K<sup>+</sup> currents of the cells. At +20 mV membrane potential DSX at the concentrations of 0.02 g/L and 0.05 g/L showed no significant effects on the currents. In contrast, DSX at higher concentrations (0.1 g/L, 0.2 g/L and 0.5 g/L) significantly suppressed the current amplitudes.CONCLUSIONThese results suggest that DSX reversibly and dose-dependently suppress outward K<sup>+</sup> channel currents in rat RGCs, which may be one of the possible mechanisms underlying Erigeron breviscapus prevents vision loss and RGC damage caused by glaucoma.展开更多

Based on the joint microstructure and mechanical properties,a suitable welding process was determined, which provided an important theoretical basis for the manufacture and repair of aeroengine components such as the superalloy blisk. The results show that the joint strain rate gradually increases with the increase of welding frequency, and the deformation resistance of the thermoplastic metal increases in the welding process, resulting in the interface thermoplastic metal not being extruded in time to form a flash, so the joint shortening amount gradually decreases. The thermoplastic metal in the center of the welding surface is kept at high welding temperature for a long time, resulting in the decrease of the joint strength. The microhardness of the joint shows a “W” distribution perpendicular to the weld, and most of the joints break in the Thermo-Mechanically Affected Zone(TMAZ) with high tensile strength and low elongation.When the welding area is increased without changing the aspect ratio of the welding surface, the interface peak temperature increases gradually, and the joint shortening amount decreases with the increase of the welding interface size.展开更多

文摘Sulfur isotopes of S-bearing materials are powerful tools to trace various geological processes and sulfur sources in earth sciences,especially in ore deposits where sulfide-sulfate pair coprecipitates widely.However,in-situ S isotope determination of barite is challenging without natural matrix-matched reference material.In this study,we present two natural barite reference materials(1-YS and 294-YS)for in-situ sulfur isotopic analysis.Independent LA-MC-ICP-MS laboratories were utilized to test theδ34S micron-scale homogeneity of 1-YS and 294-YS barites that have 2s repeatabilities of better than±0.45‰and±0.41‰,respectively.Meanwhile,the in-situ analysis results are consistent with the results of the bulk analysis by GS-IRMS within uncertainty.The grand meanδ~(34)S values of 1-YS(13.37‰±0.42‰,2s)and 294-YS(14.38‰±0.44‰,2s)are the final recommended values obtained from four independent laboratories.All the results confirm the suitability of 1-YS and 294-YS barite used as calibration materials with respect to in-situ S isotopic analysis.Moreover,the new developed barite reference materials were used as matrix-matched standard to calibrate the barite samples from the Huayangchuan carbonatite-hosted U-polymetallic deposit(Qinling orogenic belt,western China)to obtainδ34S values.Utilizing the temperaturedependentδ34S fractionation of barite-pyrite pair,we calculate the formation temperature of barite(i.e.,506 to 537°C)and theδ34S value of mineralizing fluid(i.e.,-7.11‰to-7.59‰)in the Huayangchuan deposit.The results indicate an involvement of sedimentary sulfur,presumably acting as a potential uranium source(e.g.,upper crustal materials)for the giant Huayangchuan deposit.

文摘As a reliable additive manufacturing technology,the stereolithography(SLA)ceramic core necessitates a tailored sintering process to achieve optimal performance.This study explored the effects of final sintering temperatures(specifically 1,150,1,250,and 1,300°C)on the properties of SLA-fabricated SiO_(2)-based ceramic cores reinforced with nano-ZrO_(2)(at concentrations of 1.0wt.%,1.5wt.%,and 2.0wt.%).The results demonstrate that increasing the final sintering temperature and the incorporation of nano-ZrO_(2)enhance the viscous fiow of quartz glass,resulting in a higher sintering degree.As the final sintering temperature rises,the ceramic samples exhibit increased shrinkage rate,decreased apparent porosity,and increased bulk density.Higher final sintering temperatures also promote greater cristobalite precipitation,promoting an increase in the amount and precipitation rate of quartz during investment casting.The formation of a cristobalite and ZrSiO_4 network at elevated temperatures effectively inhibits the viscous flow of quartz glass,thereby significantly improving high-temperature flexural strength and creep resistance of ceramic cores.When the content of nano-ZrO_(2)is between 1.5wt.%and 2.0wt.%,the final sintering temperature of 1,250°C is the best choice.Under these conditions,the shrinkage rate along the Z direction ranges from 3.35%to 3.68%,the porosity lies between 25.57%and 26.03%,the bulk density varies from 1.612 to 1.645 g·cm^(-3),the room temperature fiexural strength is between 26.79 and 27.85 MPa,and the fiexural strength at high temperatures is within the range of 30.77 to 33.02 MPa.The defiection at high-temperatures is 3.37-5.31 mm,while the surface roughness of the upper surface is 3.26-4.79μm,and the surface roughness of the side surface is 4.97-5.79μm.These findings provide valuable guidance for optimizing the sintering processes of SLA ceramic cores,offering potential for industrial applications.

文摘In this work,pure Cu with excellent strength and ductility(UTS of 271 MPa,elongation to fracture of 43.5%,uniform elongation of 30%)was prepared using cold spray additive manufacturing(CSAM),realizing a breakthrough in the field.An in-depth investigation was conducted to reveal the microstructure evolution,strengthening and ductilization mechanisms of the CSAM Cu,as well as the single splats.The results show that the CSAM Cu possesses a unique heterogeneous microstructure with a bimodal grain structure and extensive infinitely circulating ring-mounted distribution of twinning.Based on the single splat observation,the entire copper particle forms a gradient nano-grained(GNG)structure after high-speed impact deposition.The GNG-structured single splat serves as a unit to build the heterogeneous microstructure with bimodal grain distribution during the successive deposition in CSAM.The results also show that CSAM can achieve synergistic strengthening and ductilization by controlling the grain refinement and dislocation density.This work provides potential for CSAM technique in manufacturing various metallic parts with the desired combination of high strength and good ductility without additional post-treatments.

文摘Cold spray,as a solid-state additive manufacturing process,has been attracting increasing attention from both scientific and industrial communities.However,cold-sprayed deposits generally have unfavorable mechanical properties in their as-fabricated state compared to conventionally manufactured and fusion-based additive-manufactured counterparts due to the inherent microstructural defects in the deposits(e.g.,porosity and incomplete interparticle bonding).This downside reduces its competitiveness and limits its wide applications as an additive manufacturing process.In the past years,many strengthening technologies have been developed or introduced to adjust the microstructure and improve the mechanical properties of cold-sprayed deposits.The term“strengthening”in this work specifically refers to improving the mechanical strength,particularly the tensile strength of the cold-sprayed bulk deposits.According to the stage that the strengthening technologies are used in the cold spray process,they can be classified into three categories:pre-process(e.g.,powder heat treatment),in-process(e.g.,powder heating,in-situ micro-forging,laser-assisted cold spray),and post-process(e.g.,post heat treatment,hot isostatic pressing,hot rolling,friction stir processing).Therefore,a comprehensive review of these strengthening technolo-gies is conducted to illuminate the possible correlations between the strengthening mechanisms and the resultant deposit microstructures and mechanical properties.This review paper aims to help researchers and engineers well understand the different strengthening methods and provide guidance for the cold spray community to develop new strengthening strategies for future high-quality mass production.

文摘This work details new insights into the in-process densification mechanism of cold spray Al coatings. The results show a trend counter to common observations: coating plastic deformation levels and coating density decreases with an increase in particle impact velocity. A lower particle impact velocity and the consequent lower deposition efficiency(DE) results in greater tamping energy per unit volume of deposit,which is the primary reason for the observed trend. This is the first time that DE has been shown to have a non-linear impact on the density of a cold spray coating, with particle in-process tamping being the primary mechanism for coating densification.

文摘AIMTo investigate the effect of DSX, an active component extracted from Erigeron breviscapus, on the voltage-gated outward K<sup>+</sup> channel currents in rat retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) by using electrophysiological method, and to explore the possible mechanisms of DSX on optic nerve protection.METHODSOutward K<sup>+</sup> currents were recorded by using whole-cell patch-clamp techniques on acutely isolated rat RGCs. Outward K<sup>+</sup> currents were induced by a series of depolarizing voltage pulses from a holding potential of -70 mV to +20 mV in an increment of 10 mV.RESULTSExtracellular application of DSX voltage-dependently suppressed both the steady-state and peak current amplitudes of outward K<sup>+</sup> currents in rat RGCs. Furthermore, DSX reversibly and dose-dependently inhibited the amplitudes of outward K<sup>+</sup> currents of the cells. At +20 mV membrane potential DSX at the concentrations of 0.02 g/L and 0.05 g/L showed no significant effects on the currents. In contrast, DSX at higher concentrations (0.1 g/L, 0.2 g/L and 0.5 g/L) significantly suppressed the current amplitudes.CONCLUSIONThese results suggest that DSX reversibly and dose-dependently suppress outward K<sup>+</sup> channel currents in rat RGCs, which may be one of the possible mechanisms underlying Erigeron breviscapus prevents vision loss and RGC damage caused by glaucoma.

文摘Numerical simulation and experimental research on Linear Friction Welding(LFW) for GH4169 superalloy were carried out. Based on the joint microstructure and mechanical properties,a suitable welding process was determined, which provided an important theoretical basis for the manufacture and repair of aeroengine components such as the superalloy blisk. The results show that the joint strain rate gradually increases with the increase of welding frequency, and the deformation resistance of the thermoplastic metal increases in the welding process, resulting in the interface thermoplastic metal not being extruded in time to form a flash, so the joint shortening amount gradually decreases. The thermoplastic metal in the center of the welding surface is kept at high welding temperature for a long time, resulting in the decrease of the joint strength. The microhardness of the joint shows a “W” distribution perpendicular to the weld, and most of the joints break in the Thermo-Mechanically Affected Zone(TMAZ) with high tensile strength and low elongation.When the welding area is increased without changing the aspect ratio of the welding surface, the interface peak temperature increases gradually, and the joint shortening amount decreases with the increase of the welding interface size.

文摘Located in Luoning County,western Henan Province,Central China,the Zhonghe Ag-Pb-Zn ore field,is a newly discovered deposit in the Xiaoshan District.Ore bodies controlled by NNW Faults occur as veins within the Paleoproterozoic Xiong’er Group or the Early Cretaceous porphyritic granite.Given that the Zhonghe deposit has been covered by thick Quaternary sediments,the paragenetic mineral assemblage was determined mainly by microscopic observations,including the quartzsiderite-pyrite alteration (StageⅠ),polymetallic sulfide precipitation (StageⅡ),silver mineralization(Stage Ⅲ),and quartz-carbonate stage (StageⅣ).The host minerals for silver are diverse,such as freibergite,pyrargyrite,polybasite,argyrodite,canfieldite,argentite,and native silver,whereas those for Pb and Zn are galena and sphalerite,respectively.In order to constrain the ore-forming components of the Zhonghe deposit,a combined in-situ analysis was conducted on represented sulfides from StageⅡand Stage Ⅲ.In-situ δ^(34)S values of the analyzed sulfides,including the pyrite,chalcopyrite,sphalerite,and galena,display a relatively narrow range (0.90‰-5.0‰),which is close to magmatic sulfur source.The ^(206)Pb/^(204)Pb and^(207)Pb/^(204)Pb ratios show a narrow range (17.140-17.360 and 15.385-15.490),whereas the ^(208)Pb/^(204)Pb ratios exhibit a broad variation (36.601-37.943),indicating a contamination of the Xiong’er Group.Synthesis of geochronological and geochemical data from the Xiaoshan District,we contend that the ore-forming materials of the Zhonghe Ag-Pb-Zn deposit are originated from the lower crust,which has presumably been influenced by the large-scale lithospheric delamination of the eastern North China Craton during the Early Cretaceous.In consideration of the geological setting,mineralogy,and geochemical compositions,we suggest that the Zhonghe Ag-Pb-Zn deposit is characterized as intermediate sulfidation type epithermal deposit,and may be a potential exploration target for porphyry Mo-Cu deposits.

文摘Linear Friction Welding(LFW)technology was used to realize the welding of GH4169 superalloy,and the effect of welding parameters on the microstructure,mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of the joint was analyzed.The results show that there is a positive correlation between the weld hardness and the tensile strength.With the gradual increase of heat input and welding pressure,the joint quality is gradually improved,but the heat affected zone is not significantly increased.The smaller the grain size of the weld,the higher the strength and plasticity of the joint.With the increase of the joint shortening amount,the corrosion resistance of the weld first gradually increases.However,when the shortening reaches a certain level,the corrosion resistance of the joint becomes little changed.With the increase of solution temperature,the corrosion current density increases and the polarization impedance decreases.The higher the corrosion temperature,the worse the corrosion resistance of the joint.There is no significant correlation between the joint strength and the corrosion resistance.The corrosion resistance of the joint can be enhanced without changing the joint mechanical properties by reducing the welding frequency and amplitude or increasing the welding pressure.

文摘AIM:To investigate the antioxidant protective effect of Lycium barbarum glycopeptide(LbGP)pretreatment on retinal ischemia-reperfusion(I/R)injury(RIRI)in rats.METHODS:RIRI was induced in Sprague Dawley rats through anterior chamber perfusion,and pretreatment involved administering LbGP via gavage for 7d.After 24h of reperfusion,serum alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),and creatinine(CREA)levels,retinal structure,expression of Caspase-3 and Caspase-8,superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity,and malondialdehyde(MDA)in the retina were measured.RESULTS:The pretreatment with LbGP effectively protected the retina and retinal tissue from edema and inflammation in the ganglion cell layer(GCL)and nerve fiber layer(NFL)of rats subjected to RIRI,as shown by light microscopy and optical coherence tomography(OCT).Serum AST was higher in the model group than in the blank group(P=0.042),but no difference was found in ALT,AST,and CREA across the LbGP groups and model group.Caspase-3 expression was higher in the model group than in the blank group(P=0.006),but no difference was found among LbGP groups and the model group.Caspase-8 expression was higher in the model group than in the blank group(P=0.000),and lower in the 400 mg/kg LbGP group than in the model group(P=0.016).SOD activity was lower in the model group than in the blank group(P=0.001),and the decrease was slower in the 400 mg/kg LbGP group than in the model group(P=0.003).MDA content was higher in the model group than in the blank group(P=0.001),and lower in the 400 mg/kg LbGP group than in the model group(P=0.016).The pretreatment with LbGP did not result in any observed liver or renal toxicity in the model.CONCLUSION:LbGP pretreatment exhibits dosedependent anti-inflammatory,and antioxidative effects by reducing Caspase-8 expression,preventing declines of SOD activity,and decreasing MDA content in the RIRI rat model.

文摘The formation of balling,porosity and cracking defects is a vital obstacle in selective laser melting of wrought Al alloys.However,it lacks systematic research on the origins of these imperfections.Herein,the formation mechanisms and avoidance methods of metallurgical defects in slective laser melting(SLM)-processed Al-Cu-Mg alloy were investigated by numerical simulation and microstructure characterization.Process optimization by altering laser energy density can effectively suppress balling and porosity,thus enhancing relative density.Cracking results from the stress concentration and columnar grains arise due to the rapid cooling process during SLM.The methods that promote the columnar-to-equiaxed grain transition,such as microalloying by Sc/Zr/Ti elements,co-incorporation of ceramic particles and introducing ultrasound,can effectively enhance the cracking resistance and mechanical properties of wrought Al alloys.

文摘Ni3Al-based alloys are excellent candidates for the structural materials used for turbine engines due to their excellent high-temperature properties.This study aims at laser powder bed fusion and post-hot isostatic pressing(HIP)treatment of Ni3Al-based IC^(-2)21 M alloy with a highγ0 volume fraction.The as-built samples exhibits unavoidable solidification cracking and ductility dip cracking,and the laser parameter optimization can reduce the crack density to 1.34 mm/mm^(2).Transmission electron microscope(TEM)analysis reveals ultra-fine nanoscaleγ0 phases in the as-built samples due to the high cooling rate during rapid solidification.After HIP treatment,a fully dense structure without cracking defects is achieved,which exhibits an equiaxed structure with grain size~120-180μm and irregularly shapedγ0 precipitates~1-3μm with a prominently high fraction of 86%.The room-temperature tensile test of as-built samples shows a high ultimate tensile strength(σUTS)of 1039.7 MPa and low fracture elongation of 6.4%.After HIP treatment,a significant improvement in ductility(15.7%)and a slight loss of strength(σUTS of 831.7 MPa)are obtained by eliminating the crack defects.Both the as-built and HIP samples exhibit retained highσUTS values of 589.8 MPa and 786.2 MPa,respectively,at 900C.The HIP samples exhibita slight decrease in ductility to~12.9%,indicating excellent high-temperature mechanical performance.Moreover,the abnormal increase in strength and decrease in ductility suggest the critical role of a highγ0 fraction in cracking formation.The intrinsic heat treatment during repeating thermal cycles can induce brittleness and trigger cracking initiation in the heat-affected zone with notable deteriorating ductility.The results indicate that the combination of LPBF and HIP can effectively reduce the crack density and enhance the mechanical properties of Ni_(3)Al-based alloy,making it a promising material for high-temperature applications.

文摘In solid-state metal additive manufacturing,oxide removal is crucial for high-quality bonding,yet its impact remains unclear.In the article,the influence of oxides on the bonding interface by using cold spray additive manufacturing and leveraging diverse deformation mechanisms of high-entropy alloys is revealed.Advanced microstructure characterization shows that oxide fragmentation drives grain refinement via lattice rotation and substructure formation.As grain refinement progresses,oxide fragmentation increases metal-to-metal contact,promoting metallurgical bonding.These findings offer deep insights into the role of native oxides at the bonding interface and provide guidance for optimizing bond quality in solid-state additive manufacturing.

文摘Recently,the catastrophic forgetting problem of neural networks in the process of continual learning(CL)has attracted more and more attention with the development of deep learning.The orthogonal weight modification(OWM)algorithm to some extent overcomes the catastrophic forgetting problem in CL.It is well-known that the mapping rule learned by the network is usually not accurate in the early stage of neural network training.Our main idea is to establish an immune mechanism in CL,which rejects unreliable mapping rules at the beginning of the training until those are reliable enough.Our algorithm showed a very good competitive advantage in the permuted and disjoint MNIST tasks and disjoint CIFAR-10 tasks.As for the more challenging task of Chinese handwriting character recognition,our algorithm showed a notable improvement compared with the OWM algorithm.In view of the context-dependent processing(CDP)module in[37],we revealed that the module may result in a loss of information and we proposed a modified CDP module to overcome this weakness.The performance of the system with the modified CDP module outperforms the original one in the CelebFaces attributed recognition task.Besides continual multi-task,we also considered a single task,where the immunity-based OWM(IOWM)algorithm was designed as an optimization solver of neural networks for low-dose computed tomography(CT)denoising task.
