In this study, a high-temperature titanium alloy, Ti-6.5Al-3.5Mo-1.5Zr-0.3Si, was prepared under different HIP temperatures (880–1000℃), and the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties were systematically investigated. The results demonstrated that the HIPed alloys were predominantly composed of more than 80 vol.% α phase and a small amount of β phase, and their phase compositions were basically unaffected by the HIP temperatures. Under the typical single-temperature-maintained HIP (STM-HIP) regime, the microstructure of alloy significantly coarsened as the HIP temperature increased, and the alloy strength exhibited an obvious linear negative correlation with the HIP temperature. On the basis of Hall–Petch relation, the prediction model of grain size was established, and the mathematical equation between HIP temperature and grain size (d=M(T_(HIP-N)^(-2))) was deduced. Furthermore, a possible evolution mechanism of microstructure was proposed, which could be divided into the decomposition of initial α′ martensite for as-received powder, formation of the globular α grains in prior particle boundaries (PPBs) region, and precipitation of the platelet α grains in non-PPBs region. For these alloys prepared by the dual-temperature-maintained HIP (DTM-HIP) regime, although their tensile properties were comparable to that of alloy prepared by STM-HIP regime with same high-temperature holding stage, higher proportion of globular α grains occurred due to more recrystallization nucleation during the low-temperature holding stage, which probably provided a solution for improving the dynamic service performance of HIPed alloys.展开更多

文摘The microstructures and mechanical properties of Al-8.3Zn-3.3Cu-2.2Mg alloys prepared via hot extrusion and liquid forging methods were investigated.Results show that based on DEFORM simulation analysis,the optimal hot extrusion parameters are determined as ingot initial temperature of 380°C and extrusion speed of 3 mm/s.The hot-extruded aluminum alloy after T6 heat treatment presents superior mechanical properties with yield strength of 519.6 MPa,ultimate tensile strength of 582.1 MPa,and elongation of 11.0%.Compared with the properties of gravity-cast and liquid-forged alloys,the yield strength of hot-extruded alloy increases by 30.8%and 4.9%,and the ultimate tensile strength improves by 43.5%and 10.2%,respectively.The significant improvement in tensile strength of the hot-extruded alloys is attributed to the elimination of casting defects and the refinement of matrix grain and eutectic phases.In addition,the hot-extruded alloy demonstrates superior plasticity compared with the liquid-forged alloy.This is because severe plastic deformation occurs during hot extrusion,which effectively breaks and disperses the eutectic phases,facilitating the dissolution and precipitation of the second phases and inhibiting the microcrack initiation.

文摘Ag-Cu-In-Ti low-temperature filler was used to braze the diamond and copper,and the effects of brazing temperature and soaking time on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the joints were investigated.In addition,the joint formation mechanism was discussed,and the correlation between joint microstructure and mechanical performance was established.Results show that adding appropriate amount of In into the filler can significantly reduce the filler melting point and enhance the wettability of filler on diamond.When the brazing temperature is 750°C and the soaking time is 10 min,a uniformly dense braze seam with excellent metallurgical bonding can be obtained,and its average joint shear strength reaches 322 MPa.The lower brazing temperature can mitigate the risk of diamond graphitization and also reduce the residual stresses during joining.

文摘To enhance the mechanical properties of Mo alloys prepared through laser powder bed fusion(LPBF),a hot isostatic pressing(HIP)treatment was used.Results show that following HIP treatment,the porosity decreases from 0.27%to 0.22%,enabling the elements Mo and Ti to diffuse fully and to distribute more uniformly,and to forming a substantial number of low-angle grain boundaries.The tensile strength soars from 286±32 MPa to 598±22 MPa,while the elongation increases from 0.08%±0.02%to 0.18%±0.02%,without notable alterations in grain morphology during the tensile deformation.HIP treatment eliminates the molten pool boundaries,which are the primary source for premature failure in LPBFed Mo alloys.Consequently,HIP treatment emerges as a novel and effective approach for strengthening the mechanical properties of LPBFed Mo alloys,offering a fresh perspective on producing high-performance Mo-based alloys.

文摘Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) temperature has a significant impact on the service performance of powder metallurgy titanium alloys. In this study, a high-temperature titanium alloy, Ti-6.5Al-3.5Mo-1.5Zr-0.3Si, was prepared under different HIP temperatures (880–1000℃), and the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties were systematically investigated. The results demonstrated that the HIPed alloys were predominantly composed of more than 80 vol.% α phase and a small amount of β phase, and their phase compositions were basically unaffected by the HIP temperatures. Under the typical single-temperature-maintained HIP (STM-HIP) regime, the microstructure of alloy significantly coarsened as the HIP temperature increased, and the alloy strength exhibited an obvious linear negative correlation with the HIP temperature. On the basis of Hall–Petch relation, the prediction model of grain size was established, and the mathematical equation between HIP temperature and grain size (d=M(T_(HIP-N)^(-2))) was deduced. Furthermore, a possible evolution mechanism of microstructure was proposed, which could be divided into the decomposition of initial α′ martensite for as-received powder, formation of the globular α grains in prior particle boundaries (PPBs) region, and precipitation of the platelet α grains in non-PPBs region. For these alloys prepared by the dual-temperature-maintained HIP (DTM-HIP) regime, although their tensile properties were comparable to that of alloy prepared by STM-HIP regime with same high-temperature holding stage, higher proportion of globular α grains occurred due to more recrystallization nucleation during the low-temperature holding stage, which probably provided a solution for improving the dynamic service performance of HIPed alloys.

文摘The mechanical properties and oxidation resistance of two nickel-based superalloys with and without oxide dispersion strengthened(ODS)phases at different temperatures were studied.The microstructure was investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD),and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).The results show that the yield strength of the samples with and without ODS phases at room temperature is 1020 and 324 MPa,respectively.The yield strength model was constructed,and it is found that the contribution of grain boundary strengthening,dislocation strengthening and nanoparticle strengthening of nickel-based ODS superalloy exceeds 83%.As the temperature increases,grain boundary sliding and migration decrease the strength of sample but improve its ductility.Oxidation hinders the ductility of sample and intensifies its fracture,and the maximum elongation of nickel-based ODS superalloy at 800℃ is 47.3%.

文摘7039 Al alloys are widely used in armor vehicles,given the material’s high specific strength and fracture toughness.However,laminar tearing in the thickness plane of the base metal(BM),specifically in the normal direction(ND)and rolling direction(RD)plane,was occasionally observed after the welding of thick plates,resulting in premature material failure.A vertically metal-inert gas(MIG)-welded laminar tearing component of a 30 mm thick plate was analyzed to determine the factors associated with this phenomenon.The texture,residual stress,microhardness,and tensile properties were also investigated.The results indicated that the crack extended along the RD as a transcrystalline fracture and terminated at the BM.The grains near the crack grew preferentially in the(001)crystal direction.Furthermore,the tensile strength(83 MPa)and elongation(6.8%)in the RD were relatively higher than those in the ND.In particular,the primary factors for crack initiation include stronger texture,higher dislocation density,increased Al_(7)Cu_(2)Fe phases,lower proportion of small-angle grain boundaries,and varying grain sizes in different regions,leading to the fragile microstructure.The higher residual stress of the BM promotes the formation and extension of cracks.The restraining force due to fixation and welding shrinkage force transformed the crack into laminar tearing.Preventive measures of laminar tearing were also proposed.

文摘To tackle the common issue of green defects in material extrusion(MEX)additive manufacturing(AM)cemented carbides,warm isostatic pressing(WIP)was introduced to eliminate defects of MEX WC-9Co cemented carbide greens,thereby improving both microstructure uniformity and mechanical properties of sintered bodies.The results indicate that WIP reduces defects in MEX greens,thus decreasing the dimensions and numbers of defects,modifying shapes of pores within sintered bodies,while preserving surface quality and shape characteristics.Compared with WC-9Co prepared via MEX followed by debinding and sintering(DS),the hardness of WC-9Co prepared using MEX-WIP-DS does not change significantly,ranging HV_(30)1494-1508,the transverse rupture strength increases by up to 49.3%,reaching 2998-3514 MPa,and the fracture toughness remains high,ranging 14.8-17.0 MPa·m^(1/2).The mechanical properties surpass comparable cemented carbides fabricated through other AM methods and are comparable to those produced by powder metallurgy.The integration of green WIP into MEX-DS broadens the MEX processing window,and improves the overall mechanical properties of MEX AM WC-Co cemented carbides.

文摘To improve the corrosion resistance of biodegradable Mg alloys,WE43 alloys were implanted with Fe,Ti,Zn and Zr ions at the same implantation dose.The surface morphology,valence state of elements,nano-hardness(NH),elastic modulus(EM),degradation rate and in vitro cell experiments of the modified WE43 alloys were systematically studied.A modified layer composed of Mg,MgO,the implanted elements and their oxides was formed on the modified alloys.Since high-speed metal ions caused severe surface lattice damage,the surface hardness of the substrate considerable increased.Electrochemical tests demonstrated a substantial enhancement in the corrosion resistance of the modified alloys via the implantation of Ti and Zr ions,resulting in a reduction of the corrosion current density to 88.1±9.9 and 15.6±11.4μA cm^(−2),respectively,compared with the implantation of Fe and Zn ions.Biocompatibility tests showed that the implantation of Fe,Ti,Zn and Zr ions enhanced the anticoagulant and hemolytic resistance of the WE43 alloy.All surface-modified samples showed negligible cytotoxicity(0-1)at 12.5%extract concentration.Moreover,the alloys implanted with Fe,Ti and Zn ions significantly promoted proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC)compared with the unmodified alloy.The results demonstrate that Ti ion implantation is the best choice for WE43 alloy modification to achieve outstanding corrosion resistance and biocompatibility.

文摘Refractory high/medium-entropy alloys(RH/MEAs)are known for their outstanding performance at el-evated temperatures;however,they usually exhibit poor room-temperature plasticity,which can be at-tributed to the non-uniform deformation that occurs at room temperature.Once cracks nucleate,they will rapidly propagate into vertical splitting cracks.Here,we introduce multiple phases including FCC and HCP phases into the NbMoTa RMEA via appropriate addition of carbon.The results show that multiple-phase synergy effectively suppresses non-uniform deformation,thereby delaying the onset of vertical splitting cracks.An optimal combination of compressive strength-plasticity is achieved by the(NbMoTa)_(92.5)C_(7.5) alloy.The significant improvement in room-temperature mechanical properties can be attributed to its hierarchical microstructure:in the mesoscale,the BCC matrix is divided by eutectic structures;while at the microscale,the BCC matrix is further refined by abundant lath-like FCC precipitates.The FCC precip-itates contain high-density stacking faults,acting as a dislocation source under compressive loading.The HCP phase in the eutectic microstructures,in turn,acts as a strong barrier to dislocation movement and simultaneously increases the dislocation storage capacity.These findings open a new route to tailor the microstructure and mechanical properties of RH/MEAs.

文摘Graphene,as the reinforcing phase of magnesium matrix composites,can effectively improve the material strength,elastic modulus,and other properties.However,the random distribution of graphene in the matrix(i.e.,random orientation angle)leads to different reinforcement effects on the matrix.To gain a deeper understanding of the impact of monolayer graphene(1 LG)with varying orientation angles on the properties of Mg-9 Al-1 Zn(AZ91(wt.%))magnesium alloy,molecular dynamics(MD)simulations are employed to analyze the mechanical properties of AZ91/1 LG composites under uniaxial tension.The simulation results show that Young's modulus and tensile strength of AZ91/1 LG composites decrease gradually with the increase of the orientation angle of the 1 LG.The Young's modulus and tensile strength of AZ91/1 LG composites can be improved by the 1 LG orientation angle of 0°~10°,where the two are enhanced by 21.7%and 19.7%respectively,at an orientation angle of 0°.However,the Young's modulus and tensile strength of 1 LG are decreased for orientation angles of 20°~90°.Atomic structure evolution analysis revealed that the deformation mechanism of AZ91/1 LG nanocomposites mainly depended on the load transfer ability of 1 LG with different orientation angles,the bonding ability with AZ91 magnesium alloy matrix and the change of dislocation density.By fitting the formula to the tensile strength of AZ91/1 LG composites with different orientation angles of 1 LG,it is found that the simulated data of the AZ91/1 LG composites containing a 1 LG has a maximum relative error of about 10%concerning the fitted empirical formula to calculate the data.The maximum relative error for AZ91/1 LG composites containing multiplate 1 LG with different orientation angles is 7%.In addition,the interaction between graphene and dislocations in AZ91 magnesium matrix was further explained by transmission electron microscopy(TEM)and phase-field-crystal(PFC)simulation.It can provide some technical guidance for the experimental process design of AZ91/1 LG composites.

文摘The effect of Cr addition on nickel aluminium bronze(NAB)alloy microstructure,mechanical properties,and erosion-corrosion behaviour has been studied.The results show that Cr addition does not change the composition of the precipitated phases,more Cr entered theκphase and a small amount of Cr solubilized in the matrix,which increase the hardness of theκand matrix and decrease the potential difference between theκand matrix.NAB alloy with Cr shows high erosion-corrosion resistance at high flow rate conditions,due to its lower phase potential difference and higher surface hardness.At the flow rate of 3 m·s^(-1),the corrosion rate is 0.076 mm·year^(-1),which is~20%lower than that of the unadded Cr sample.Moreover,the corrosion product film contains Cr_(2)O_(3)and Cr^(3+),which improves the densification of the film and raises alloy’s corrosion resistance with Cr addition.The combination of mechanical and corrosion resistant properties may qualify this alloy as a potential candidate material for sustainable and safe equipment.

文摘Herein,cure characteristics,morphology,and mechanical properties of natural rubber filled with activated carbon-based materials were investigated.Carbon-based materials were prepared from bagasse,coffee grounds and pineapple crowns by the pyrolysis method at temperatures in the range of 300℃.As-synthesized carbon materials were characterized by optical microscopy(OM),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR)to analyze size distribution,morphology,and functional groups,respectively.OM and SEM analysis revealed that particles,flakes,and a small quantity of fiber-like carbon were obtained using bagasse and pineapple crown as raw materials,while honeycomb-like carbon materials can be derived from coffee grounds.To investigate the mechanical properties,natural rubber was filled with carbon black and as-synthesized carbon materials by the internal mixing and compression molding process.Transmission electron microscopy(TEM)was utilized to characterize the dispersion of carbon materials in the rubber matrix.The results of tensile testing showed that the natural rubber mixed with as-synthesized carbon materials from pineapple crowns exhibited 54%and 74%improvement in the ultimate tensile strength and Young’s modulus,respectively,compared with natural rubber without filled carbon materials.The enhancement in mechanical properties by activated carbon materials derived from pineapple crowns can be attributed to the flake-and fiber-like structures and good dispersion of carbon materials in the rubber matrix.In addition,it is higher than that of rubber mixed with carbon black.The results demonstrated that as-synthesized carbon materials from pineapple crowns have the potential materials to substitute carbon black in the rubber compound industry.
