The effect of B_(4)C content (0, 0.5, 1.5, wt%) on the microstructure and room/high-temperature corrosion behaviour of the composites was investigated. Microstructural analysis revealed that the microstructure of the composites was significantly influenced by the B_(4)C content. The composite containing 0.5 wt% B_(4)C exhibited an optimal microstructure characterized by refined grains, equiaxed α-Ti transformed from lath-shaped α-Ti, well-distributed (TiB+TiC) phases with a proper amount and reduced pore/dislocation defects. This composite also demonstrated the best corrosion resistance at both room temperature (25 ℃) and high temperature (800 ℃), which was primarily attributed to its comprehensive advantages including a favorable microstructure, a uniform dispersion of thermally stable (TiB+TiC) phases and a stable passivation film.展开更多

文摘The application of machine learning for pyrite discrimination establishes a robust foundation for constructing the ore-forming history of multi-stage deposits;however,published models face challenges related to limited,imbalanced datasets and oversampling.In this study,the dataset was expanded to approximately 500 samples for each type,including 508 sedimentary,573 orogenic gold,548 sedimentary exhalative(SEDEX)deposits,and 364 volcanogenic massive sulfides(VMS)pyrites,utilizing random forest(RF)and support vector machine(SVM)methodologies to enhance the reliability of the classifier models.The RF classifier achieved an overall accuracy of 99.8%,and the SVM classifier attained an overall accuracy of 100%.The model was evaluated by a five-fold cross-validation approach with 93.8%accuracy for the RF and 94.9%for the SVM classifier.These results demonstrate the strong feasibility of pyrite classification,supported by a relatively large,balanced dataset and high accuracy rates.The classifier was employed to reveal the genesis of the controversial Keketale Pb-Zn deposit in NW China,which has been inconclusive among SEDEX,VMS,or a SEDEX-VMS transition.Petrographic investigations indicated that the deposit comprises early fine-grained layered pyrite(Py1)and late recrystallized pyrite(Py2).The majority voting classified Py1 as the VMS type,with an accuracy of RF and SVM being 72.2%and 75%,respectively,and confirmed Py2 as an orogenic type with 74.3% and 77.1%accuracy,respectively.The new findings indicated that the Keketale deposit originated from a submarine VMS mineralization system,followed by late orogenic-type overprinting of metamorphism and deformation,which is consistent with the geological and geochemical observations.This study further emphasizes the advantages of Machine learning(ML)methods in accurately and directly discriminating the deposit types and reconstructing the formation history of multi-stage deposits.

文摘The layer-by-layer deposition strategy of additive manufacturing makes it ideal to fabricate dissimilar alloy components with varying functionality,which has promising application potential in a large number of industrial areas.In this study,two components composed of ERCuAl-A2 aluminum bronze(CuAl9)and Inconel 718 nickel-based superalloy were fabricated with different deposition orders by wire-arc directed energy deposition.Subject to changes in heat input and thermophysical properties of the substrate,the transition region of the deposited Cu-Ni component with the bottom half of CuAl9 and the top half of Inconel 718 is narrow and serrated.This region features a laminated intermetallic compound layer due to the convection and rapid cooling in the molten pool.In contrast,the Ni-Cu component deposited in the opposite order exhibits a 2 mm gradient transition zone.Within this region,a large number of diverse precipitates were found as well as regional variations in grain size due to the multi-layer partial remelting.Both two components show strong bonds and their tensile specimens tested along the vertical direction always fracture at the softer CuAl9 side.Excellent tensile properties along the horizontal direction were obtained for Cu-Ni(Ultimate tensile strength:573 MPa,yield stress:302 MPa,elongation:22%),while those of Ni-Cu are much lower due to the existence of the solidification cracks in the transition zone.The results from this study provide a reference for the additive manufacturing of Cu/Ni dissimilar alloy components,as well as their microstructure and mechanical properties control.
文摘This study investigates the mineralogy and mineral-chemistry of a newly discovered Au-Ag-Bi-Te mineralization at the Aydindere Fe-Cu skarn deposit,within the Pontides Tectonic Unit,northeastern Turkey.The mineralization is developed in the skarn zone at the contact between Upper Cretaceous andesite-pyroclastic rocks and a Paleocene–Eocene I-type granitoid.The principal ore minerals of the Aydindere Fe-Cu deposit are oxides(magnetite),sulfides(pyrite-chalcopyritegalena-sphalerite),tellurides/sulfotellurides(tetradymite,hessite),sulfosalts(wittichenite,emplectite,aikinite) and native gold-electrum.Skarn minerals include anhydrous phases(garnet) formed in a prograde stage and hydrous phases(amphibole,epidote,chlorite),which were formed in a retrograde stage in association with quartz,adularia,apatite and late calcite.Sulfides,tellurides and sulfosalts are introduced during the retrograde stage.The Au-Ag-Bi-Te mineralization was detected for the first time within the western ore body of the Aydindere deposit,and occurs in calcite-bearing sulfide bodies that cut magnetite-garnet-amphibole-epidote skarns with magnetite ores of different grade,including massive magnetite.Chlorite geothermometry indicates formation of the Au-Ag-BiTe mineralization at temperatures between 300 and 250 ℃,during the retrograde skarn evolution.Assuming the temperature is ~275 ℃,logfS_(2) =-10.5 to-13,logfO_(2) =-37 to-33,and logf Te2 values range from approximately-12 to-8.5 were estimated.The available mineralogical and geological data(presences of magnetite,oxidized-type tellurides/sulfotellurides,and andraditic garnets,and absence of pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite) suggest that Aydindere is an oxidized Au-bearing skarn deposit.The discovery of Au-Ag-Bi-Te mineralization at Aydindere increases its productivity and requires more detailed exploration in the deposit for precious(Au,Ag) and critical(Bi,Te) metals.

文摘The wide application of additive-manufactured Ti alloys is impeded by coarse columnar grains along the building direction and thus the severe anisotropy of mechanical properties.To address this issue,a novel multialloying CoCrMoSi strategy has been developed to produce near-equiaxed grains of a modified Ti6Al4V(TC4)alloy for laser-directed energy deposition(LDED)based on computational thermodynamic and experimental approaches.The results show that the microstructure of the TC4alloy consists of large columnar β grains and α/α'laths with a high aspect ratio of 5.73,exhibiting a strong anisotropy of tensile properties.In contrast,the TC4-1.5%CoCrMoSi alloy is characterized by mixed columnarequiaxed β grains and near-equiaxed β grains with increased CoCrMoSi additions to 4.5%.Additionally,the α/α'laths are successively refined with the increase of CoCrMoSi content,showing an aspect ratio of smaller than4.31.However,an excess addition of CoCrMoSi leads to the formation of micro voids.After multi-alloyingCoCrMoSi,the number density of twins increases remarkably with a substantially reduced width,because of the increased lattice distortion and dislocation density together with the reducedβ→αphase transformation temperature.The anisotropy of the tensile properties can be effectively eliminated by adding 3 wt%CoCrMoSi with an exemplary strength-ductility combination,superior to the LDEDed-modified TC4 alloy in the literature reporting the tensile properties along both horizontal(X)and vertical(Z)directions.The underlaying mechanisms for the evolution of the microstructure and the tensile properties induced by multi-alloying CoCrMoSi were discussed in detail.

文摘The unique structure and formation mechanism of medium-entropy alloys(MEAs)generally result in bet-ter comprehensive properties than traditional alloys.However,the strength-ductility trade-offremains a bottleneck,which limits their applications.In this study,we designed novel high-performance CrNiCu x MEAs with a heterophase composition by incorporating a Cu-rich phase,and they were fabricated using laser-directed energy deposition(LDED).The results show that synergistic strengthening from multiple phases significantly improved the mechanical properties of the alloys,resulting in a tensile strength of 675 MPa and a ductility of 34.4%,demonstrating an excellent combination of high tensile strength and ductility.The improved mechanical properties of the CrNiCu x medium-entropy alloys are primarily due to the heterophase interfacial strengthening mechanism.In the alloy,numerous semi-coherent and coher-ent interfaces formed between the Cr-rich phase,Cu-rich phase,and the matrix,creating extensive lattice distortions at the interfaces.An increase in the Cu-rich phase content promoted the interaction between phases,enhancing the strain energy of the alloy and the barrier strength of the interfaces.The calcu-latedτint values,ranging from approximately 5.92-6.69 GPa,are significantly higher than those found in traditional alloys,providing a benchmark for designing new high-performance medium-entropy alloys.
文摘This study investigates the development of novel high-entropy alloys(HEAs)with enhanced mechanical properties through an innovative fabrication method of direct energy deposition(DED).The focus is on the creation of metastable core-shell precipitation-strengthened HEAs that exhibit a unique multi-stage terrace-like slip wave toughening mechanism,a novel approach to improving both strength and ductility simultaneously.Mechanical testing reveals that the developed HEAs exhibit superior mechanical proper-ties,including high yield strength,ultimate tensile strength,and exceptional ductility.The improvement in these properties is attributed to the multi-stage terrace-like slip wave toughening mechanism activated by the unique microstructural features.This toughening mechanism involves the sequential activation of slip systems,facilitated by the stress concentration around the core-shell precipitates and the subsequent propagation of slip waves across the material.The terrace-like pattern of these slip waves enhances the material's ability to deform plastically,providing a significant toughening effect while maintaining high strength levels.Furthermore,the study delves into the fundamental interactions between the microstruc-tural elements and the deformation mechanisms.It elucidates how the core-shell precipitates and the matrix cooperate to distribute stress uniformly,delay the onset of necking,and prevent premature failure.This synergistic interaction between the microstructural features and the slip wave toughening mecha-nism is central to the remarkable balance of strength and ductility achieved in the HEAs.The introduction of a multi-stage terrace-like slip wave toughening mechanism offers a new pathway to designing HEAs with an exceptional amalgamation of strength and ductility.

文摘Solution and aging treatment were conducted on the laser directed energy deposition(LDED)-prepared carbon nanotubes(CNTs)-reinforced WE43(CNTs/WE43)layers to optimize their microstructure and surface properties in this study.The microstructure of the WE43 and CNTs/WE43 layers was systematically compared.The dissolution of divorced eutectics at the grain boundaries was retarded by CNTs during solution treatment.The spot segregation composed of Mg_(24)Y_(5),CNTs,and Zr cores in the solution treated CNTs/WE43 layer presented a slight decreasing in Y content.The grain growth of both types of layers underwent three stages:slow,rapid,and steady-state.The significant inhibitory effect of CNTs on the grain growth of the LDED WE43 matrix was more pronounced than the promoting effect of temperature,resulting in a 47%increase at 510℃ and a 35%increase at 540℃ in the grain growth exponent compared to the WE43 layers at 510℃.During the subsequent aging treatment at 225℃,the precipitation sequences from plate-shaped β″to plate-shaped and globular β′ were observed in both types of layers.CNTs can facilitate an increase in the nucleation rate of precipitates,but without accelerating precipitation hardening rate.The long and short diameters of the precipitates in peak-aged state were decreased by 48.5%and 43.1%by addition of CNTs,respectively.The wear resistance of both the WE43 and CNTs/WE43 layers can be significantly enhanced through solution and aging treatment.The enhancement in wear resistance for the CNTs/WE43 layers is considerably greater than that of the WE43 layers.

文摘Fine-grained sediments are widely distributed and constitute the most abundant component in sedi-mentary systems,thus the research on their genesis and distribution is of great significance.In recent years,fine-grained sediment gravity-flows(FGSGF)have been recognized as an important transportation and depositional mechanism for accumulating thick successions of fine-grained sediments.Through a comprehensive review and synthesis of global research on FGSGF deposition,the characteristics,depositional mechanisms,and distribution patterns of fine-grained sediment gravity-flow deposits(FGSGFD)are discussed,and future research prospects are clarified.In addition to the traditionally recognized low-density turbidity current and muddy debris flow,wave-enhanced gravity flow,low-density muddy hyperpycnal flow,and hypopycnal plumes can all form widely distributed FGSGFD.At the same time,the evolution of FGSGF during transportation can result in transitional and hybrid gravity-flow deposits.The combination of multiple triggering mechanisms promotes the widespread develop-ment of FGSGFD,without temporal and spatial limitations.Different types and concentrations of clay minerals,organic matters,and organo-clay complexes are the keys to controlling the flow transformation of FGSGF from low-concentration turbidity currents to high-concentration muddy debris flows.Further study is needed on the interaction mechanism of FGSGF caused by different initiations,the evolution of FGSGF with the effect of organic-inorganic synergy,and the controlling factors of the distribution pat-terns of FGSGFD.The study of FGSGFD can shed some new light on the formation of widely developed thin-bedded siltstones within shales.At the same time,these insights may broaden the exploration scope of shale oil and gas,which have important geological significances for unconventional shale oil and gas.

文摘Under the laser directed energy deposition(LDED)process,the rapid melting and solidification usually lead to the emergence of pores and coarse columnar dendrites,which in turn compromise the properties of the deposited alloys.This study introduced in-situ ultrasonic rolling(UR)as an innovative method to enhance the corrosion resistance of LDED specimens,and the microstructural characteristics and their correlation with corrosion resistance were deeply investigated.The findings reveal that the LDED-UR specimen exhibits a reduction in both the fraction and size of pores.Under the influence of severe plastic deformation generated by LDED-UR process,fully equiaxed grains appear with a reduced average size of 28.61μm(compared to63.98μm for the LDED specimen with columnar grains).The electrochemical corrosion resistance of the LDED-UR specimen is significantly enhanced compared to the LDED specimen.This enhanced corrosion resistance can be attributed to the low fraction of small-sized pores,the fine and uniformly distributed Cr-enriched ferrite phase,and the formation of a compact and thick passive film due to dense grain boundaries.The insight of the correlation between microstructure and corrosion behavior opens up a new pathway to enhance the corrosion resistance of LDED specimens.

文摘Laser-directed energy deposition(L-DED)is an advanced additive manufacturing technology primarily adopted in metal three-dimensional printing systems.The L-DED process is characterized by various defects,thus necessitating the extensive use of in-situ monitoring to enable real-time adjustments of process parameters by detecting molten-pool features.To address the challenge of accurately extracting the molten-pool morphology from an undetached spatter,an innovative monitoring method based on the U-Net(U-shaped network)is proposed herein.A lightweight architecture accelerates the processing speed,whereas an enhanced loss function incorporating weight maps augments the segmentation precision.The model performance is evaluated by comparing its segmentation accuracy and processing speed with those of the conventional U-Net,using the mean intersection over union(MIoU)as the segmentation metric.The improved model demonstrates superior segmentation accuracy at the interface between the molten pool and spatter,with a peak MIoU of 0.9798 achieved on the test set.Furthermore,this model processes each image in an extremely short time of 17.9 ms.Using this segmentation algorithm,the error in extracting the molten-pool width from single-track experiments is within 0.1 mm.The proposed method for monitoring the molten-pool morphology is suitable for deployment in online monitoring systems,thus providing a foundation for subsequent process-parameter regulation.

文摘To enhance the anti-corrosion performance of TC4 alloy across a wide temperature range for modern aircrafts operating in increasingly harsh environments, the (TiB+TiC) hybrid reinforced TC4 composites were prepared by laser melting deposition (LMD) via the in-situ reaction between B_(4)C reinforcement and molten TC4 alloy. The effect of B_(4)C content (0, 0.5, 1.5, wt%) on the microstructure and room/high-temperature corrosion behaviour of the composites was investigated. Microstructural analysis revealed that the microstructure of the composites was significantly influenced by the B_(4)C content. The composite containing 0.5 wt% B_(4)C exhibited an optimal microstructure characterized by refined grains, equiaxed α-Ti transformed from lath-shaped α-Ti, well-distributed (TiB+TiC) phases with a proper amount and reduced pore/dislocation defects. This composite also demonstrated the best corrosion resistance at both room temperature (25 ℃) and high temperature (800 ℃), which was primarily attributed to its comprehensive advantages including a favorable microstructure, a uniform dispersion of thermally stable (TiB+TiC) phases and a stable passivation film.
文摘Assessing the behaviour and concentration of waste pollutants deposited between two parallel plates is essential for effective environmental management.Determining the effectiveness of treatment methods in reducing pollution scales is made easier by analysing waste discharge concentrations.The waste discharge concentration analysis is useful for assessing how effectively wastewater treatment techniques reduce pollution levels.This study aims to explore the Casson micropolar fluid flow through two parallel plates with the influence of pollutant concentration and thermophoretic particle deposition.To explore the mass and heat transport features,thermophoretic particle deposition and thermal radiation are considered.The governing equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations with the help of suitable similarity transformations.The Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg’s fourthfifth order technique and shooting procedure are used to solve the reduced set of equations and boundary conditions.The integration of a neural network model based on the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm serves to improve the accuracy of predictions and optimize the analysis of parameters.Graphical outcomes are displayed to analyze the characteristics of the relevant dimensionless parameters in the current problem.Results reveal that concentration upsurges as the micropolar parameter increases.The concentration reduces with an upsurge in the thermophoretic parameter.An upsurge in the external pollutant source variation and the local pollutant external source parameters enhances mass transport.The surface drag force declines for improved values of porosity and micropolar parameters.

文摘The Zijinshan ore field located in southwestern Fujian Province,China,is a representative porphyry-epithermal ore system hosting diverse mineralization types(Mao et al.,2013).The ore field comprises of the Zijinshan highsulfidation Cu-Au deposit,the Luoboling porphyry Cu-Mo deposit,the transitional style Cu deposit(Longjiangting and Wuziqilong)and the Yueyang low-sulfidation Agpolymetallic deposit(Zhang,2013;Zhang et al.,2003)
文摘A novel nitrogenous nickel-based deposited metal was prepared by gas metal arc welding.Subsequently,solid solution treatment as well as solution and aging treatments were conducted on the prepared metal to study the evolution of microstructure and tensile properties at different states.Results show that the high-temperature tensile strength of the deposited metal exhibits good performance after the addition of W and N.The grain size of the sample is large,and petal-like Laves phase appears at the grain boundaries.After solid solution treatment,the grain size decreases,and the Laves phase disappears.However,both the yield strength and elongation of the deposited metal decrease.The grain size of the samples after solid solution and aging treatment is more uniform,nanoscale M(C,N)phases are precipitated within the crystals,and M_(23)C_(6) phase forms at grain boundaries.The yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of this sample are higher than those of the other samples,but its plasticity is the lowest.The main deformation mechanism is the unit dislocation a/2<110>cutting the precipitation phase.

文摘To improve the mechanical properties of 2024 aluminum alloy,a kind of diamond-like carbon(DLC)film was deposited on the surface of 2024 aluminum alloy by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition technique.The effects of acetylene gas on the microstructure,hardness,wear resistance,and adhesion of DLC film were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscope,nano-indentation tester,and friction-wear tester.The results indicate that the thickness of the DLC film increases gradually with increasing the proportion of acetylene.There is an obvious transition layer between the DLC film and matrix.When the ratio of argon to acetylene is 1:3,the hardness of DLC film is enhanced significantly because of the content changes of sp^(3) and sp^(2) bonds within the film.At the same time,the friction coefficient of DLC film is reduced.
文摘Broadband transparent films play a pivotal role in various applications such as lenses and solar cells,particularly porous structured transparent films exhibit significant potential.This study investigates a porous SiO_(2) refractive index gradient anti-reflective film prepared by atomic layer deposition(ALD).A porous SiO_(2) film with gradual porosity was obtained by phosphoric acid etching of Al_(2)O_(3)/SiO_(2) multilayers with gradient Al2O3 ratios,achieving a gradual decrease in refractive index from the substrate to the surface.The film exhibited an average transmittance as high as 97.8%within the wavelength range from 320 nm to 1200 nm.The environmental adaptability was further enhanced by surface modification using rare earth oxide(REO)La_(2)O_(3),resulting in formation of a lotus leaf-like structure and achieving a water contact angle of 100.0°.These data proved that the modification significantly improved hydrophobic self-cleaning capability while maintaining exceptional transparency of the film.The surface structure of the modified film remained undamaged even after undergoing wipe testing,demonstrating its excellent surface durability.

文摘The crack initiation and early propagation are of great significance to the overall fatigue life of material.In order to investigate the anisotropic fracture behavior of laser metal deposited Ti-6Al-4V alloy(LMD Ti64)during the early stage,the fourpoint bending fatigue test was carried out on specimens of three different directions,as well as the forged specimens.The results indicate the anisotropic crack initiation and early propagation of LMD Ti64.The direction perpendicular to the deposition direction exhibits a better fatigue resistance than the other two.The crack initiation position and propagation path are dominated by the microstructure in the vicinity of U-notch.LMD Ti64 has a typical small crack effect,and the early crack propagation velocities in three directions are similar.Affected by the slip system of LMD Ti64,secondary cracks frequently occur,which are often found to have an angle of 60°to the main crack.The electron backscatter diffraction analysis indicates that LMD Ti64 has preferred orientations,i.e.,strong 0001//Z texture and 001//Z texture.Their crystallographic orientation will change as the direction of columnarβgrains turns over,resulting in the fatigue anisotropy of LMD Ti64 in crack initiation and early crack propagation process.
