We used litterbag method and mixed litters of three different plant species tissues (Stipa baicalensis: Sb, Leymus chinensis: Lc and Artemisia frigid: Af), endemic to Stipa baicalensis Steppe, and measured the mass loss of mixtures over 417 days under the N addition treatment. We studied the effect of N addition (N0: no N addition;N15: 1.5 g N/m<sup>2</sup>·a;N30: 3.0 g N/m<sup>2</sup>·a;N50: 5.0 g N/m<sup>2</sup>·a;N100: 10.0 g N/m<sup>2</sup>·a;N150: 15.0 g N/m<sup>2</sup>·a) on the rate of mixed litter decomposition and nutrient dynamics change. The decomposition constant (k) of leaf mixtures was higher than that of root mixtures. The k values of leaf mixed combinations were 0.880 (Sb + Lc), 1.231 (Lc + Af), 1.027 (Sb + Lc + Af), respectively. The k value of stem was 0.806 (Lc + Af) and the root mixed combinations were 0.665 (Sb + Lc), 0.979 (Lc + Af) and 1.164 (Sb + Lc + Af), respectively. The results indicated that N addition had significantly effect on the mixed litter decomposition and nutrient releasing. The rate of plant tissues litter decomposition had different response to N addition. In the context of N addition, litter decomposition rate and nutrient dynamics were changed by synthetic effect of decaying time, specie types and N addition dose. Our findings suggested that prairie plants may adapt to environmental change by adjusting litter quality, thus retaining the stability of the steppe ecosystem.展开更多

The vacuum reactive wetting and brazing of Er_(2)Si_(2)O_(7)/MoSi_(2) coatings were investigated using a (CoFeNiCrMn)_(88)Nb_(12) high-entropy alloy (HEA) brazing filler.

The microstructural evolution and wettability of the HEA filler were analyzed, with particular attention to the surface energy, interfacial stability, and electronic properties of the HEA filler/rare earth silicate coating system, as determined by density functional theory (DFT). As Nb diffused into the interface and the ErNbO_(4) phase formed, the wetting angle gradually decreased to 23.12° The effective wetting and spreading of the HEA brazing filler on the rare earth silicate coating surface are strongly correlated with the formation of the ErNbO_(4) phase at the interface. Furthermore, DFT calculations reveal that the interfacial bonding energy between the BCC' and FCC' phases and the ErNbO_(4) phase, after the wetting reaction, is significantly higher than the bonding energy between the initial filler and Er_(2)Si_(2)O_(7). This finding suggests that the formation of the ErNbO_(4) phase improves the wetting and spreading behavior of the filler.展开更多

The microstructure and the mechanical properties of the LFWed joint were investigated by optical microscopy, scanning electronic microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, hardness test and tensile test. A defect-free joint was achieved by using LFW under reasonable welding parameters. The dynamic recrystallization of austenitic grains and the dispersed precipitation of NbCrN particles resulting from the high stress and high temperature in welding, would lead to a improvement of mechanical property of the welded joint. With increasing the distance flom the weld zone to the parent metal, the austenitic grain size gradually increases from -1 μm to - 150 μm, and the microhardness decreases from 301 HV to 225 HV. The tensile strength （about 731 MPa） of the welded joint is comparable to that of the S31042 in the solution-treated state.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

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

The microstructure of the as-sprayed coating and the effect of post-spray heat-treatment（PSHT） temperatures on the in-situ formation of Ni-Al intermetallic phases in coating were studied. The tribological behaviors of the as-sprayed coating and the PSHTed coating under 450？C were tested at 25？C, while the as-sprayed coating was tested at 450？C for comparison.As a result, the Ni-Gr particles showed a homogenous distribution in the coating. The multilayer Ni-Al intermetallics-coated graphite/Al composite coating was achieved in situ after the PSHT of 450？C, where the graphite did decompose at 550？C leaving big pores in the coating. The coefficients of friction（COF）of the CSed coating and the PSHTed coating were measured at 450？C as well as 25？C, which showed a similar tendency, much higher than that of the CSed coating tested at 25？C. The lubrication phase（graphite） improved the formation of a graphite film during sliding friction and decreased the COF, while the hard Ni-Al intermetallic phases contributed to the increase of COF.展开更多

文摘The vacuum reactive wetting and brazing of Er_(2)Si_(2)O_(7)/MoSi_(2) coatings were investigated using a (CoFeNiCrMn)_(88)Nb_(12) high-entropy alloy (HEA) brazing filler. The microstructural evolution and wettability of the HEA filler were analyzed, with particular attention to the surface energy, interfacial stability, and electronic properties of the HEA filler/rare earth silicate coating system, as determined by density functional theory (DFT). As Nb diffused into the interface and the ErNbO_(4) phase formed, the wetting angle gradually decreased to 23.12° The effective wetting and spreading of the HEA brazing filler on the rare earth silicate coating surface are strongly correlated with the formation of the ErNbO_(4) phase at the interface. Furthermore, DFT calculations reveal that the interfacial bonding energy between the BCC' and FCC' phases and the ErNbO_(4) phase, after the wetting reaction, is significantly higher than the bonding energy between the initial filler and Er_(2)Si_(2)O_(7). This finding suggests that the formation of the ErNbO_(4) phase improves the wetting and spreading behavior of the filler.

文摘The development of high-performance cathode materials is critical to the practical application of sodiumion batteries(SIBs).O3-type NaCrO_(2)(NCO)is one of the most competitive cathodes,but it suffers from rapid capacity decay caused by severe irreversible structural evolution.An Mg-Ti co-doped Na_(0.99)Cr_(0.95)Mg_(0.02)Ti_(0.03)O_(2)(NCO-MT)cathode material is designed and synthesized via a facile solid-state reaction to enhance the cyclability of NCO.A capacity retention of 71.6%after 2500 cycles with the capacity fade rate of 0.011%per cycle is achieved for NCO-MT at 5 C,which is attributed to the highly reversible crystal structure during cycling.Our findings offer a novel insight into the high-performance O3-type layered cathode materials for SIBs and are beneficial to promote the development of high-rate SIBs.

文摘Hot compressive experiments of the laser solid formed(LSFed)TC4 titanium alloy were conducted at a wide temperature range of 650-950℃and strain rate of 0.01-10 s^(-1).The Arrheniustype constitutive models of the LSFed TC4 alloy were established at the temperature range of 800-950℃and of 650-800℃,respectively.The average relative error between the predicted stresses and experimental values in those two temperature ranges are 10.4%and 8.3%,respectively,indicating that the prediction models constructed in this paper are in a good agreement with experimental data.Processing maps were established by the principle of dynamic materials modeling on the basis of the data achieved from the hot compression experiments.The processing parameters corresponding to the stable and unstable regions of material deformation can be determined from the processing maps.The microstructure evolution of the stable and unstable regions of the samples after tests were observed.Finally,the effect of hot compressive parameters on the microstructure were investigated to research the dynamic recrystallization and the texture of the deformed LSFed TC4 alloy.

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The Ti17(a+β)-Ti17(β)dual alloy-dual property blisk produced using Linear Friction Welding(LFW)is considered as high-performance component in advanced aeroengine.However,up to now,microstructure evolution and relationship between microstructure and micro mechanical properties of LFWed Ti17(a+β)/Ti17(β)dissimilar joint have not been thoroughly revealed.In this work,complex analyses of the phase transformation mechanisms of the joint are conducted,and phase transformations in individual zones are correlated to their microhardness and nanohardness.Results reveal that a dissolution occurs under high temperatures encountered during LFW,which reduces microhardness of the joint to that of Ti17(a+β)and Ti17(β).In ThermoMechanically Affected Zone of Ti17(a+β)(TMAZ-(a+β))side joint,a large number of nanocrystalline a phases form with different orientations.This microstructure strengthens significantly by fine grains which balances partial softening effect of a dissolution,and increases nanohardness of a phase and microhardness of TMAZ-(a+β).Superlattice metastableβphase precipitates from metastableβin Weld Zone(WZ)during quick cooling following welding,because of short-range diffusion migration of solute atoms,especiallyβstabilizing elements Mo and Cr.The precipitation of the superlattice metastableβphase results in precipitation strengthening,which in turn increases nanohardness of metastableβand microhardness in WZ.

文摘S31042 heat-resistant steel was joined by linear friction welding （LFW） in this study. The microstructure and the mechanical properties of the LFWed joint were investigated by optical microscopy, scanning electronic microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, hardness test and tensile test. A defect-free joint was achieved by using LFW under reasonable welding parameters. The dynamic recrystallization of austenitic grains and the dispersed precipitation of NbCrN particles resulting from the high stress and high temperature in welding, would lead to a improvement of mechanical property of the welded joint. With increasing the distance flom the weld zone to the parent metal, the austenitic grain size gradually increases from -1 μm to - 150 μm, and the microhardness decreases from 301 HV to 225 HV. The tensile strength （about 731 MPa） of the welded joint is comparable to that of the S31042 in the solution-treated state.

文摘The main objective of the Mars Ion and Neutral Particle Analyzer(MINPA)aboard the Chinese Mars Exploration Mission(Tianwen-1)is to study the solar wind-Mars interaction by measuring the ions and energetic neutral atoms(ENAs)near Mars.The MINPA integrates ion and ENA measurements into one sensor head,sharing the same electronics box.The MINPA utilizes a standard toroidal top-hat electrostatic analyzer(ESA)followed by a time of flight(TOF)unit to provide measurement of ions with energies from 2.8 eV to 25.9 keV and ENAs from 50 eV to 3 keV with a base time resolution of 4 seconds.Highly polished silicon single crystal substrates with an Al2O3 film coating are used to ionize the ENAs into positive ions.These ions can then be analyzed by the ESA and TOF,to determine the energy and masses of the ENAs.The MINPA provides a 360°×90°field of view(FOV)with 22.5°×5.4°angular resolution for ion measurement,and a 360°×9.7°FOV with 22.5°×9.7°angular resolution for ENA measurement.The TOF unit combines a-15 kV acceleration high voltage with ultra-thin carbon foils to resolve H+,He2+,He+,O+,O2+and CO2+for ion measurement and to resolve H and O(≥16 amu group)for ENA measurement.Here we present the design principle and describe our ground calibration of the MINPA.

文摘Ni-based superalloys are one of the most important materials employed in high-temperature applications within the aerospace and nuclear energy industries and in gas turbines due to their excellent corrosion,radiation,fatigue resistance,and high-temperature strength.Linear friction welding(LFW)is a new joining technology with near-net-forming characteristics that can be used for the manu-facture and repair of a wide range of aerospace components.This paper reviews published works on LFW of Ni-based superalloys with the aim of understanding the characteristics of frictional heat generation and extrusion deformation,microstructures,mechanical proper-ties,flash morphology,residual stresses,creep,and fatigue of Ni-based superalloy weldments produced with LFW to enable future optim-um utilization of the LFW process.

文摘High-performance metal additive manufacturing （AM） has been extensively investigated in recent years because of its unique advantages over traditional manufacturing processes. 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.

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High-precision detection in fundamental space physics,such as space gravitational wave detection,high-precision earth gravity field measurement,and reference frame drag effect measurement,is the key to achieving important breakthroughs in the scientific study of fundamental space physics.Acquiring high-precision measurements requires high-performance satellite platforms to achieve“drag-free control”in a near“pure gravity”flight environment.The critical technology for drag-free control is variable thrust control at the micro-Newton scale.Thrust noise is the most important technical indicator for achieving drag-free flight.However,there is no literature about the current status and future prospects of variable thrust control based on thrust noise.Therefore,the micro-Newton variable thrust control technology and the thrust noise of the drag-free satellite platform are reviewed in this work.Firstly,the research status of micro-Newton scale variable thrust control technology and its applications to drag-free satellite platforms are introduced.Then,the noise problem is analyzed in detail and its solution is theoretically investigated in three aspects:“cross-basin flow problem,”“control problem,”and“system instability and multiple-coupled problem.”Finally,a systematic overview is presented and the corresponding suggested directions of research are discussed.This work provides detailed understanding and support for realizing low-noise variable thrust control in the next generation of drag-free satellites.

文摘Electric Pulse Processing(EPP)treatment was innovatively introduced to optimize the strength and ductility of the CSAMed Cu deposits.The results show that EPP is an efficient and fast post-treatment to improve the strength and ductility(within tens of seconds).The larger the pulse current and number of pulses,the better the mechanical properties.Interestingly,this research found that when the heat input determined by pulse current and number of pulses exceeds a certain threshold(pulse current intensity is 2000 A,number of pulses is 10),increasing the number of repeat time could also effectively improve the mechanical properties.A tensile strength of 210 MPa and a ductility of 14.0%could be obtained with reasonable EPP parameters(pulse current intensity is 2000 A,number of pulses is 10,and repeat number is 2),which is similar to those of conventional annealing(e.g.,tensile strength is 272 MPa,elongation is 28.3%).The microstructure evolution analysis shows that EPP can effectively improve the bonding quality between the deposited particles by recrystallization,promote grain growth and the formation of twins,which is the main reason for the improvement of mechanical properties.

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In this study, cold spraying（CS） was used to deposit a mixture of nickel-coated graphite and 40 vol.% Al powder（Ni-Gr/Al） on a steel substrate aiming to effectively preserve a certain volume fraction of graphite in the deposited Ni-Gr/Al composite coating. The microstructure of the as-sprayed coating and the effect of post-spray heat-treatment（PSHT） temperatures on the in-situ formation of Ni-Al intermetallic phases in coating were studied. The tribological behaviors of the as-sprayed coating and the PSHTed coating under 450？C were tested at 25？C, while the as-sprayed coating was tested at 450？C for comparison.As a result, the Ni-Gr particles showed a homogenous distribution in the coating. The multilayer Ni-Al intermetallics-coated graphite/Al composite coating was achieved in situ after the PSHT of 450？C, where the graphite did decompose at 550？C leaving big pores in the coating. The coefficients of friction（COF）of the CSed coating and the PSHTed coating were measured at 450？C as well as 25？C, which showed a similar tendency, much higher than that of the CSed coating tested at 25？C. The lubrication phase（graphite） improved the formation of a graphite film during sliding friction and decreased the COF, while the hard Ni-Al intermetallic phases contributed to the increase of COF.
