The results demonstrate that the growth of L12 phase can be divided into two stages： at the early stage, the composition of alloying elements in DO22 phase almost remains unchanged; at the late stage, the compositions of Ni and Al decrease while V increases in DO22 phase. Part of alloying elements for L12 phase growth are supplied from the site occupation evolution of alloying elements on three kinds of sublattices in DO22 phase. Ni is mainly supplied from V sublattice, and part of Al is supplied from NiⅠ and V sites at the centre of DO22 phase. The excessive V from the decreasing DO22 phase migrates into the centre of DO22 phase and mainly occupies V and NiII sites. It is the site occupation evolution of antisite atoms and ternary additions in DO22 phase that controls the growth rate of L12 phase at the late stage.展开更多

The results demonstrate that the growing process of DO22 phase can be divided into two stages. At the early stage, composition in the centre part of L12 phase almost remains unchanged, and the nucleation and growth of DO22 phase is controlled by the decrease of interface between L12 phases. At the late stage, part of V for growth of DO22 phase is supplied from the centre part of L12 phase and mainly comes from Al sublattice, the excess Ni spared from the decreasing L12 phase migrates into the centre part of L12 phase and occupies the Ni sublattices exclusively, while the excess Al mainly occupies the Al sublattice. At the late stage, the growth of DO22 phase is controlled by the evolution of antisite atoms and ternary additions in the centre part of L12 phase.展开更多

This paper shows that the ferrite grains can further be refined through combination of DIFT and V or V-N microalloying. Vanadium dissolved in γ matrix restrains DIFT. During deformation, vanadium carbonitrides rapidly precipitate due to strain-induced precipitation, which causes decrease in vanadium dissolved in matrix and indirectly accelerates DIFT. Under heavy deformation, deformation induced ferrite （DIF） grains in V microalloyed steel were finer than those in V free steel. The more V added to steel, the finer DIF grains obtained. Moreover, the addition of N to V microalloyed steels can remarkably accelerate precipitation of V, and then promote DIFT. However, DIF grains in V-N microalloyed steel easily coarsen.展开更多

The transformation of organic carbon (C) and total nitrogen (N) in the broad-leaved litters ingested by earthworms was researched by means of a laboratory experiment. Experimental samples were collected from broad-leaved Korea Pine mixed forest in Liangshui National Natural Reserve (47°10′50″N, 128°53′20″E) in the northeastern Xiao Hinggan Mountains of Northeast China. The contents of organic C and total N in earthworms, leaf litters and earthworm faeces were analyzed. Results show that the organic C content was in the fol- lowing order: leaf litters>faeces>earthworms, while total N content was contrary to that of the organic C. The organic C contents in the different leaf litters were in the following order: Tilia amurensis>Betula costata>Acer mono, whereas the total N contents in the different leaf litters were: Betula costata>Tilia amurensis>Acer mono. The contents of organic C and total N in the faeces from the different leaf litters were almost consistent with the contents of the leaf litters. After the leaf litters were ingested by earthworms, the organic C, which was transformed to increase earthworms' weights, ac- counted for 3.90%-13.31% of the total ingestion by earthworms, while that in the earthworm faeces accounted for 6.14%-13.70%. The transformed organic C through the other metabolism (e.g., respiration) of earthworms accounted for 75.04%-89.92%. The ingested organic C by earthworms was mostly used for metabolic activities. The N ingested by earthworms was less than organic C. It is estimated that 37.08% of total N was transformed to increase the earthworm's weight, 19.97% into earthworm faeces and 47.86% for the consumption of the earthworm's activities. The earthworms not only increased the content of organic C and total N in the soil, but also decreased the values of C/N in the soil and leaf litters. Earthworms play a major role in the leaf litters' decomposition and transformation.展开更多

Microstructural evolution and phase transformation were investigated using X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The presence of the Ti3 Al or α2(hcp), the phase stability and transition temperatures were predicted by the Gibbs free energy-temperature and phase fraction-temperature diagrams. The isothermal compression in the(α+β)-phase field is characterized by reorientation and localized kinking of α/β lamellae, and cracking at α/β interphase regions. While in the α→β-phase transformation area, deformation in β-phase and at α/β interphase boundaries, extensive transformation of α into β-phase, martensitic transformation and spheroidization of α-laths mainly characterize this isothermal compression. A complete transformation of α into β single phase occurs in the β-phase field. Ti3 Al or α2(hcp),β(bcc) and α(hcp)-phase, and additional hcp α’ and orthorhombic α' phases in a deformed Ti6 Al4 V are revealed. The flow stress level, the dynamic recovery and dynamic globularization are affected by deformation temperature.展开更多

The experimental results indicate that the Inconel 625 alloy exhibits an excellent creep resistance at 700 ℃ and below. When the creep temperature rises to 750 ℃, the creep resistance falls drastically due to the failure of phase transformation strengthening and the precipitation of a large amount of δ phase and σ phase at the grain boundary. The special temperature-sensitive characteristics of Inconel 625 alloy play a very important role in its fracture. When the strain rate is 8.33×10^-3s^-1, the strength of the specimen is higher than that of other parameters attributed to the effect of phase transformation strengthening. With the increase of Ni3(Al, Ti), the phase transformation strengthening inhibits thickening of the stacking faults into twins and improves the overall mechanical properties of the alloy. With the increase of the aging time, the granular Cr-rich M23C6 carbides continue to precipitate at the grain boundary, which hinders the movement of the dislocations and obviously increases the strength of the samples. Especially, the yield strength increases several times.展开更多

文摘To simultaneously enhance the strength−plasticity synergy and resistance to hydrogen embrittlement(HE),the post-annealing treatment was conducted in a laser powder-bed fusion Ti−6Al−4V alloy to introduce reversible transformation.The microstructure,mechanical properties,and HE behavior of the alloy were analyzed by electron back-scattered diffraction,transmission electron microscopy,slow-strain-rate tensile test,hydrogen permeation and thermal desorption spectroscopy.The as-printed sample exhibited high strength but limited elongation and high HE sensitivity.When annealed at 550℃,the elongation was improved but the hydrogen diffusion rate also increased,thus promoting the formation of brittle hydride.When annealed at 750℃,the reversible transformationα'→β→α'occurred and anα'/β/α'sandwich structure formed,thereby enhancing HE resistance(reducing the total elongation loss to 12%)while maintaining high strength(~1116 MPa).The introduction of nanoscaleβ-phase and soft-orientedα'grain significantly inhibited hydride formation and hydrogen-induced crack propagation.

文摘Odd-numbered and high-nuclearity coordination clusters are extremely rare,yet they represent an intriguing subclass lacking regular repeating building blocks and high structural symmetry for understanding self-assembled multiatomic systems.Herein,the largest cobalt and polydentate ligand based cluster featuring odd-nuclearity,namely[Co_(19)(HL1)_(8)(L1)_(12)(L′)_(2)(Ac)_(4)]·10CH_(3)CH_(2)OH·6H_(2)O(1,H_(2)L1=1H-benzo[d]imidazole-2-yl)methanol,HL'=1H-benzo[d]imidazole),was obtained with in-situ ligand transformation from H_(2)L1 to L′.It features a hierarchical trilayer and void-cage inside structure,consisting of central disc-shaped[Co_(7)L_(10)]core with two[Co_(6)]rings on both sides.ESI-MS of crystal 1 yields a series of more than sixteen fragments,all featuring an integrated[Co_(19)]core,suggesting stability of the polynuclear cluster in solution.During increased in-source energy from 0 to 100 eV,all MS peaks shifted to a lower m/z range,but the[Co_(19)]core remained intact,excepting for the stepwise elimination of up to three Ac^(−)anions or three L1 linkers.PXRD tracking of the reaction sediments showed the formation of a key precursor of[Co_(4)L_(4)]cubane at 3 h,and its content decreased at 6 h and vanished at 12 h,followed by the appearance of crystals 1 by the generation of a clear solution at 18 h,suggesting an initial cluster assembly-disassembly process.ESI-MS spectra analysis of both reaction sediment and solution further identify the existence of other crucial higher-nuclearity reassembled fragments of[Co_(7)L_(10)]disk and its expansion of[Co_(13)L_(12)(L′)_(2)].A probable tandem assembly-disassembly-reassembly mechanism is put forward as[CoL_(2)]→[Co_(4)L_(4)]→[Co_(7)L_(10)]→[Co_(13)L_(12)(L′)_(2)]→[Co_(19)L_(2)0(L′)_(2)].Their evolution also indicated the ingenious synergy of coexisting organic,inorganic and in-situ generated ligands,along with diverse coordination geometries of metal ions,plays a directional role in forming odd-numbered and high-nuclearity coordination clusters.Magnetism analysis revealed antiferromagnetic coupling plays dominated role in the cluster.

文摘Deformation-induced ferrite transformation （DIFT） has been proved to be an effective approach to refine ferrite grains. This paper shows that the ferrite grains can further be refined through combination of DIFT and V or V-N microalloying. Vanadium dissolved in γ matrix restrains DIFT. During deformation, vanadium carbonitrides rapidly precipitate due to strain-induced precipitation, which causes decrease in vanadium dissolved in matrix and indirectly accelerates DIFT. Under heavy deformation, deformation induced ferrite （DIF） grains in V microalloyed steel were finer than those in V free steel. The more V added to steel, the finer DIF grains obtained. Moreover, the addition of N to V microalloyed steels can remarkably accelerate precipitation of V, and then promote DIFT. However, DIF grains in V-N microalloyed steel easily coarsen.

Results show that the organic C content was in the fol- lowing order: leaf litters>faeces>earthworms, while total N content was contrary to that of the organic C. The organic C contents in the different leaf litters were in the following order: Tilia amurensis>Betula costata>Acer mono, whereas the total N contents in the different leaf litters were: Betula costata>Tilia amurensis>Acer mono.

文摘Thermodynamic calculation of the two-phase Ti alloy was completed using Compu Therm Pandat? and Ti data base, followed by isothermal compression of Ti6 Al4 V(Grade 5), with an initial colony lamellar structure that was performed in the(α+β) and β-phase field. Microstructural evolution and phase transformation were investigated using X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The presence of the Ti3 Al or α2(hcp), the phase stability and transition temperatures were predicted by the Gibbs free energy-temperature and phase fraction-temperature diagrams. The isothermal compression in the(α+β)-phase field is characterized by reorientation and localized kinking of α/β lamellae, and cracking at α/β interphase regions. While in the α→β-phase transformation area, deformation in β-phase and at α/β interphase boundaries, extensive transformation of α into β-phase, martensitic transformation and spheroidization of α-laths mainly characterize this isothermal compression. A complete transformation of α into β single phase occurs in the β-phase field. Ti3 Al or α2(hcp),β(bcc) and α(hcp)-phase, and additional hcp α’ and orthorhombic α' phases in a deformed Ti6 Al4 V are revealed. The flow stress level, the dynamic recovery and dynamic globularization are affected by deformation temperature.
文摘Thermodynamic calculation,thermal analysis,and identification and observation of precipitates have been carried out on a W-alloyed 10 wt pct Cr steel by means of ThermoCalc program,differential thermal analysis（DTA）,X-ray diffraction（XRD） and transmission electron microscopy（TEM） with an energy dispersive Xray spectrometer,respectively.Several critical phase transformation points were determined by combining experimental results with calculations.Two individually stable phases of Nb（C,N） and VN,instead of one single phase MX（X：C,N）,M23C6 or Laves phases,were predicted in the calculated equilibrium phase diagram.An unstable elongated M7C3 with relatively higher Cr was detected unexpectedly in the normalized and tempered steel.Two kinds of spherical Nb（C,N） with different size were recognized as the primary and the secondary precipitates of Nb（C,N） which contain different V contents.It was observed that one kind of complex precipitate in a special V-wing shape was resulted from two plate-like VN adhering to coarse primary spherical Nb（C,N）.
文摘Cell wall composition in monocotyledonous grasses has been identified as a key area of research for developing better feedstocks for forage and biofuel production.Setaria viridis and its close domesticated relative Setaria italica have been chosen as suitable monocotyledonous models for plants possessing the C4 pathway of photosynthesis including sorghum,maize,sugarcane,switchgrass and Miscanthus×giganteus.Accurate partial least squares regression（PLSR）models to predict S.italica stem composition have been generated,based upon Fourier transform mid-infrared（FTIR）spectra and calibrated with wet chemistry determinations of ground S.italica stem material measured using a modified version of the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory（NREL）acid hydrolysis protocol.The models facilitated a high-throughput screening analysis for glucan,xylan,Klason lignin and acid soluble lignin（ASL）in a collection of 183 natural S.italica variants and clustered them into classes,some possessing unique chemotypes.The predictive models provide a highly efficient screening tool for large scale breeding programs aimed at identifying lines or mutants possessing unique cell wall chemotypes.Genes encoding key catalytic enzymes of the lignin biosynthesis pathway exhibit a high level of conservation with matching expression profiles,measured by RT-q PCR,among accessions of S.italica,which closely mirror profiles observed in the different developmental regions of an elongating internode of S.viridis by RNASeq.

文摘Microstructure evolution and properties of hot-extruded Inconel 625 alloy were investigated at different creep temperatures, aging time and strain rates. The experimental results indicate that the Inconel 625 alloy exhibits an excellent creep resistance at 700 ℃ and below. When the creep temperature rises to 750 ℃, the creep resistance falls drastically due to the failure of phase transformation strengthening and the precipitation of a large amount of δ phase and σ phase at the grain boundary. The special temperature-sensitive characteristics of Inconel 625 alloy play a very important role in its fracture. When the strain rate is 8.33×10^-3s^-1, the strength of the specimen is higher than that of other parameters attributed to the effect of phase transformation strengthening. With the increase of Ni3(Al, Ti), the phase transformation strengthening inhibits thickening of the stacking faults into twins and improves the overall mechanical properties of the alloy. With the increase of the aging time, the granular Cr-rich M23C6 carbides continue to precipitate at the grain boundary, which hinders the movement of the dislocations and obviously increases the strength of the samples. Especially, the yield strength increases several times.

文摘The effect of strain rate and deformation temperature on theα→βphase transformation in 47Zr-45Ti-5Al-3V alloy with an initial widmanstattenαstructure was investigated.At the deformation temperature of 550°C,the volume fraction ofαphase decreased with increasing strain rate.At 600 and 650°C,the volume fraction ofαphase firstly increased to a maximum value with increasing strain rate from 1×10-3 to 1×10-2 s-1,and then decreased.At 700°C,the microstructure consisted of singleβphase.At a given strain rate,the volume fraction ofαphase decreased with increasing deformation temperature.With decreasing strain rate and increasing deformation temperature,the volume fraction and size of globularαphase increased.At 650°C and 1×10-3 s-1,the lamellarαphase was fully globularized.The variation in the volume fraction and morphology ofαphase with strain rate and deformation temperature significantly affected the hardness of 47Zr-45Ti-5Al-3V alloy.

文摘The hot deformation behaviors and the microstructural evolution of plain C-Mn steels with similar contents of C and Si but different contents of Mn have been investigated by compressive processing using Gleeble-1500 mechanical simulator.Influence of Mn and hot deformation on continuous cooling transformation of steels has been studied.The experimental results showed that deformation in austenite region accelerated transformation process,and the extent is dependent on the hot deformation and cooling conditions.The hot deformation would promote transformation process,but the increase of transformation temperature is dependent on Mn contents.The results have also shown that the effect of deformation on ferrite transformation becomes more obvious with the increase of Mn content at relatively low cooling rate.
