文摘The serrated flow behavior,known as the Portevin-Le Chatelier(PLC)effect,is commonly observed during high-temperature deformation.In this study,we report a serrated flow behavior in FeCoCrNiMo0.2 high-entropy alloy(HEA),which is mediated by nano-twinning and phase transformation at cryogenic temperatures.During uniaxial tensile deformation at 77 K,the alloy exhibited the formation of high-density deformation nano-twinning,cross-twinning,stacking faults(SFs)and Lomer-Cottrell locks(L-C locks).Additionally,the lower stacking fault energy(SFE)at low temperatures promotes the formation of the 9R phase.The high-density twin boundaries effectively hinder dislocation movement,leading to the instability of plastic deformation and promoting the serrated flow behavior.Furthermore,the rapid and unstable transformation of the 9R phase contributes to the pronounced serrated flow behavior.Nano-twinning,SFs,cross-twinning,L-C locks and 9R phase collectively induce a dynamic Hall-Petch effect,enhancing the strength-ductility synergy and strain-hardening ability of deformed alloy at 77 K.Our work provides valuable insights into the mechanism of tensile deformation at cryogenic temperatures in single-phase FCC HEA.

文摘The toughness of thermoplastic polymers such as polypropylene(PP)can be improved by adding elastomers-based toughening agents,and the phase morphology of these toughening agents is very important for the strength and toughness of PP.The low-temperature toughness of PP was improved by inserting high-density polyethylene(HDPE)between PP and polystyrene-b-ethylene-co-propyleneb-polystyrene(SEPS)to form an unusual SEPS@HDPE core–shell structure,with SEPS as the core and HDPE as the shell.Based on the microtopography and rheological behavior characterization,HDPE in PP/SEPS/HDPE composites was found to serve as an emulsifier,decrease the size of SEPS particles,and promote the homogeneous dispersion of dispersed phase particles in the matrix.An increase in the HDPE content shifted the toughening mechanism of PP composites from cavitation to matrix shear yielding.The reduction in the distance between the dispersed core–shell structure particles promoted shear yielding in the PP composites,leading to increased toughness.The creation of an intermediate HDPE layer with a moderate modulus was crucial for dispersing stress concentrations and significantly improving toughness without compromising the tensile strength.These findings will facilitate the fabrication of high-toughness PP products at low temperatures.

文摘Shape memory alloys(SMAs)and shape memory ceramics(SMCs)exhibit high recovery ability due to the martensitic transformation,which complicates the fracture mechanism of SMAs and SMCs.The phase field method,as a powerful numerical simulation tool,can efficiently resolve the microstructural evolution,multi-field coupling effects,and fracture behavior of SMAs and SMCs.This review begins by presenting the fundamental theoretical framework of the fracture phase field method as applied to SMAs and SMCs,covering key aspects such as the phase field modeling of martensitic transformation and brittle fracture.Subsequently,it systematically examines the phase field simulations of fracture behaviors in SMAs and SMCs,with particular emphasis on how crystallographic orientation,grain size,and grain boundary properties influence the crack propagation.Additionally,the interplay between martensite transformation and fracture mechanisms is analyzed to provide deeper insights into the material responses under mechanical loading.Finally,the review explores future prospects and emerging trends in phase field simulations of SMA and SMC fracture behavior,along with potential advancements in the fracture phase field method itself,including multi-physics coupling and enhanced computational efficiency for large-scale simulations.

文摘Shale reservoirs have abundant bedding structures,which deeply alter the mechanical properties of rocks,and thus affect the reservoir stimulation performance.Previous research mostly focuses on the effects of parallel bedding on fracture propagation,while the mechanical properties and mechanisms of fracture propagation remain unclear for rocks with complex wavy bedding(e.g.China’s continentalorigin Gulong shale).Herein,a mixed phase-field fracture model of the wavy-bedding shale was applied,based on the local tension-compression decomposition phase field method(PFM)and geometric structure generation algorithm for the bedding with controllable morphological features.The parametric analysis of fracture propagation behaviors in the case of abundant complex bedding structures showed that with wavy bedding,the vertical fracture propagation rate is far higher than the horizontal propagation rate.Moreover,the development of branch fractures is suppressed during the fracturing process of the wavy-bedding sample,and the stimulated volume is limited,which is different from the characteristic of parallel bedding that promotes horizontal fracture initiation and propagation.The results showed that larger amplitudes,higher frequencies,higher inclination angles,and larger strengths of wavy bedding all promote the formation of vertical penetrating fractures and suppress the growth of branch fractures.Under such circumstances,it is hard to create a well-connected fracture network after fracturing.This research may provide a theoretical basis for understanding fracture behaviors in rocks with such complex wavy bedding.
文摘Shape memory alloys(SMAs)are unique materials that exhibit the ability to recover their original shape upon heating after being deformed at low temperatures.Due to their remarkable properties,such as high strength,excellent fatigue resistance,and the ability to undergo significant recoverable deformation,SMAs have found extensive applications in various fields,including biomedical devices,robotics,aerospace,automotive industries,and smart textiles.This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the phase transformation behavior and smart applications of SMAs,focusing on the underlying mechanisms,characteristics,and technological advancements in SMA-based devices.It explores the various phases involved in SMA behavior,including the martensitic and austenitic phases,thermoelastic transformations,and stress-induced phase transformations.Furthermore,this paper discusses the applications of SMAs in smart technologies,including their use in medical devices,actuators,sensors,and energy harvesting systems.By exploring the key factors influencing phase transformations,this study highlights the potential of SMAs in designing next-generation smart materials and systems.

文摘Microemulsions are usually used to prepare nanomaterials.The fo rmation behavior of microemulsions is crucial to the preparation of nanomaterials.Water in the internal phase is usually replaced by electrolyte solutions to prepare nanomaterials.Knowing the effects of electrolyte solution on the phase behavior of microemulsion is significant to the nanomaterial preparation.Microemulsion systems were studied by a conductivity method with cyclohexane as oil,Triton X-100 as surfactant,hexanol as cosurfactant,and deionized water or the electrolyte solutions of Cu(Ac)_(2)and Zn(Ac)_(2)as aqueous phases.The results showed that the replacement of water with electrolyte solution had a strong effect on the phase behavior of microemulsion system.The O/W microemulsion zone in water system was not observed in the studied electrolyte system.The shape and area of the corresponding phase zone in electrolyte system were different from that in water system.The microemulsion regions of electrolyte solution systems were always larger than that of water system.Zn(Ac)_(2)showed a larger microemulsion region than Cu(Ac)_(2)at 0.1 mol·L^(-1).The microemulsion phase region formed by 0.1 mol·L^(-1)Zn(Ac)_(2)+0.1 mol·L^(-1)Cu(Ac)_(2)was smaller than that formed by 0.1 mol·L^(-1)Zn(Ac)_(2)or 0.1 mol·L^(-1)Cu(Ac)_(2)lonely.With the increase of electrolyte concentration in the electrolyte solution and the rise of temperature,the microemulsion region shrank gradually.The changes of interactions between different components in the system should be responsible to the variation of phase behavior.The results provide important information for the microemulsion system with electrolyte solution as aqueous phase.

文摘Face-centered cubic(FCC)equi-atomic multi-principal element alloys(MPEAs)exhibit excellent mechan-ical properties over a broad temperature range from cryogenic temperatures(CTs)to room temperature(RT).Specifically,while the deformation mechanism is dominated solely by dislocation slip at RT,the re-duction in stacking fault energy(SFE)at CTs leads to enhanced strain hardening with deformation twin-ning.This study employs in-situ neutron diffraction to reveal the temperature-dependent deformation be-havior of the FCC/body-centered cubic(BCC)dual-phase(DP)Al7(CoNiV)93 medium-entropy alloy(MEA),which possesses a matrix exhibiting deformation behavior analogous to that of representative equi-atomic MPEAs.Alongside the increased lattice friction stress associated with reduced temperature as a thermal component,deformation twinning at liquid nitrogen temperature(LNT)facilitates dislocation activity in the FCC matrix,leading to additional strain hardening induced by the dynamic Hall-Petch effect.This would give the appearance that the improved strengthening/hardening behaviors at LNT,compared to RT,are primarily attributable to the FCC phase.In contrast,the BCC precipitates are governed solely by dislocation slip for plastic deformation at both 77 K and 298 K,exhibiting a similar trend in dislocation density evolution.Nevertheless,empirical and quantitative findings indicate that the intrinsically high Peierls-Nabarro barriers in the BCC precipitates exhibit pronounced temperature-dependent lattice fric-tion stress,suggesting that the BCC precipitates play a more significant role in the temperature-dependent strengthening/hardening behaviors for the DP-MEA.This study provides a comprehensive understanding of deformation behavior by thoroughly analyzing temperature-dependent strengthening/hardening mech-anisms across various DP-MPEA systems,offering valuable guidelines for future alloy design.

文摘The effects of temperature and Re content on the mechanical properties,dislocation morphology,and deformation mechanism of γ-γ′phases nickel-based single crystal superalloys are investigated by using the molecular dynamics method through the model of γ-γ′phases containing hole defect.The addition of Re makes the dislocation distribution tend towards the γ phase.The higher the Re content,the earlier theγphase yields,while the γ′phase yields later.Dislocation bends under the combined action of the applied force and the resistance of the Re atoms to form a bend point.The Re atoms are located at the bend points and strengthen the alloy by fixing the dislocation and preventing it from cutting the γ′phase.Dislocations nucleate first in the γ phase,causing theγphase to deform plastically before the γ′phase.As the strain increases,the dislocation length first remains unchanged,then increases rapidly,and finally fluctuates and changes.The dislocation lengths in the γ phase are larger than those in the γ′phase at different temperatures.The dislocation length shows a decreasing tendency with the increase of the temperature.Temperature can affect movement of the dislocation,and superalloys have different plastic deformation mechanisms at low,medium and high temperatures.

文摘The insufficient damping capabilities of aluminum alloy under low temperatures(<120℃)were addressed by developing high-damping laminated composites of NiTip/5052Al.This is achieved through the incorporation of varied pre-aging states of NiTi particles into the 5052Al matrix using a rolling composite technique.The aim is to enhance the application scope of aluminum alloy for vibration and noise reduction.The results demonstrated a distinct and integrated interface between the particle layer and the 5052Al alloy,with numerous interparticle interfaces within the particle layer.Increasing the aging temperature of the NiTi particles from 450 to 550℃ shifted the phase transition peaks of the composites to lower temperatures.The damping capacity of the laminated NiTip/5052Al composites notably surpasses that of the 5052Al alloy.At 28 and 66℃,the phase transformation damping peaks of the pre-aged NiTi particle layer reinforced 5052Al matrix composites are 1.93 and 2 times those of the 5052Al alloy at the corresponding temperatures,respectively.The collaborative impact of interparticle interface damping mechanism and the phase transformation damping mechanism of NiTi-reinforced particles significantly amplify the low-temperature damping performance of the laminated NiTip/5052Al composites.

文摘The phase transformation of galena in H_(2)SO_(4)-Fe_(2)(SO_(4))_(3) system under oxygen pressure was investigated.Results indicated that the critical conditions for the phase transformation of galena into lead jarosite(Pb-J)were 130℃,30 g/L H_(2)SO_(4),15 g/L Fe^(3+),and an oxygen partial pressure of 0.4 MPa.Furthermore,increased Fe^(3+)concentration and oxygen partial pressure did not enhance jarosite formation.Conversely,lowering the temperature and increasing the H_(2)SO_(4) concentration facilitated PbSO_(4) formation and inhibited its further conversion to Pb-J.Additionally,the effects of potassium sulfate,sodium sulfate,and high concentrations of zinc sulfate on the phase transformation of galena were examined through leaching tests,XRD,SEM-EDS,and FT-IR analyses.All three sulfates inhibited the conversion of galena to Pb-J.Among these,potassium sulfate prevented Pb-J formation and converted it more thoroughly into potassium jarosite.However,high concentrations of zinc sulfate facilitated the crystallization of both PbSO_(4) and Pb-J,which altered the morphology of the product.Zinc ions coprecipitated with Pb-J,thereby integrating into the product.

文摘Controllably tuning the sensing performance of flexible mechanical sensors is important for them to realize on-demand sensing of various mechanical stimuli in different application scenarios.However,current regulating strategies focus on the construction process of individual sensors,the response performance of the as-formed sensors is still hard to autonomously tune with external stimulus changes like human skin.Here,we propose a new strategy that realizes post-tuning of the sensing performance by introducing a temperature-dependent phase transition elastomer into the sensing film.Through an interfacially confined photopolymerization reaction,a graphene-based phase-transition elastomeric(GPTE)film with a robust interface and excellent conductivity is well-formed at the water/air interface.Benefiting from the crystallization-melt dynamic switching in the elastomer network,the GPTE film could experience the reversible transformation between soft(1.65 MPa)and stiff(12.27MPa)states,showing huge changes of elastic modulus up to seven times near the phase transition temperature(28.5℃).Furthermore,the GPTE film is designed into a suspended perceptual configuration realizing the dynamic detection of 3D deformation adapted to temperature changes with up to 3.5-fold difference in response sensitivity.Finally,the self-adaptive sensing behavior of temperature-mediated 3D deformation is demonstrated by the effective detection of the dynamic stimulation process of cold and hot water droplets by the GPTE suspended film.The proposed strategy of phase transition-induced post-tuning of sensing performance could greatly facilitate flexible mechanical sensors towards a more intelligent one.

文摘The vapor diffusion and transport resulting from steam generator tube rupture(SGTR)accidents are a major concern threatening lead-based reactor core safety.In this study,a high-parameter SGTR experimental platform and the multi-phase multi-physics processes numerical simulation were developed to investigate the phase behavior and interaction mechanisms.This study revealed the interaction mechanisms of lead-bismuth liquid metal and water driven by flash vaporization,jet impingement boiling,and moderate boiling.The migration and evolution of the discrete phases(vapor-water mixture)were inferred from the temperature transient laws and a numerical simulation.The results revealed that the evolution of the discrete phases consists of three stages:cavity formation,flanking diffusion,and stable up-floating.The jet pressure significantly extended the disturbance period.Variations in the water temperature mainly affected the depressurization boiling process,altering the diffusion region of the discrete phases.The temperature of the liquid metal and the duration of the jet had a minimal impact on the behavior of the discrete phases.This study provides a crucial reference for constructing a complete picture of accident evolution.

文摘[Background]High harmonic cavities are widely used in electron storage rings to lengthen thebunch,lower the bunch peak current,thereby reducing the IBS effect,enhancing the Touschek lifetime,as well asproviding Landau damping,which is particularly important for storage rings operating with ultra-low emittance or atlow beam energy.[Purpose]To further increase the bunch length without additional hardware costs,the phasemodulation in a dual-RF system is considered.[Methods]In this paper,turn-by-turn simulations incorporating randomsynchrotron radiation excitation are conducted,and a brief analysis is presented to explain the bunch lengtheningmechanism.[Results]Simulation results reveal that the peak current can be further reduced,thereby mitigating IBSeffects and enhancing the Touschek lifetime.Although the energy spread increases,which tends to reduce thebrightness of higher-harmonic radiation from the undulator,the brightness of the fundamental harmonic can,in fact,beimproved.

文摘A dual-phase synergistic enhancement method was adopted to strengthen the Al-Mn-Mg-Sc-Zr alloy fabricated by laser powder bed fusion(LPBF)by leveraging the unique advantages of Er and TiB_(2).Spherical powders of 0.5wt%Er-1wt%TiB_(2)/Al-Mn-Mg-Sc-Zr nanocomposite were prepared using vacuum homogenization technique,and the density of samples prepared through the LPBF process reached 99.8%.The strengthening and toughening mechanisms of Er-TiB_(2)were investigated.The results show that Al_(3)Er diffraction peaks are detected by X-ray diffraction analysis,and texture strength decreases according to electron backscatter diffraction results.The added Er and TiB_(2)nano-reinforcing phases act as heterogeneous nucleation sites during the LPBF forming process,hindering grain growth and effectively refining the grains.After incorporating the Er-TiB_(2)dual-phase nano-reinforcing phases,the tensile strength and elongation at break of the LPBF-deposited samples reach 550 MPa and 18.7%,which are 13.4%and 26.4%higher than those of the matrix material,respectively.
