The results show that with increasing MgO content in the sinter, the softening interval and melting interval increased and the location of the cohesive zone shifted downward slightly and became moderately thicker. The softening-melting characteristic value was less pronounced when the MgO content in the sinter was 2.98wt%-3.40wt%. Increasing MgO content in the sinter reduced the content and recovery of V and Cr in the dripped iron. In addition, greater MgO contents in the sinter resulted in the generation of greater amounts of high-melting-point components, which adversely affected the permeability of the mixed burden. When the softening-melting behavior of the mixed burden and the recovery of valuable elements were taken into account, proper MgO con- tents in the sinter and slag ranged from 2.98wt% to 3.40wt% and from 11.46wt% to 12.72wt%, respectively, for the smelting of burden made from chromium-bearing vanadium-titanium magnetite in a blast furnace.展开更多

Fast laser scans are responsible for severe thermal gradients and high cooling rates which produce complex hydrodynamic fluid flow. These phenomena affect crystal growth and orientation and are believed to be the cause of material spattering and microstructural defects, e.g. pores and incompletely melted particles. In this work, the microstructure and texture of 316L bars built along two different orientations and the effect of different distribution of defects on their mechanical response and failure mechanisms were investigated. Partially molten powder particles are believed to be responsible for the scattering in elongation to failure, reduced strength, and premature failure of vertical samples.展开更多

Calcium is easily brought into the widely ased brazing alloy, Ag-Cu-Zn, during the producing process. This paper aims at revealing the effect of calcium on the melting behavior of the brazing alloy. The thermal analysis kinetics of silver alloy with trace calcium was studied by using differential scanning calorimetry ( DSC ) , and the enthalpy peaks were analyzed by differential methods. The rate constant of phase transformation in the probable brazing temperature range goes up with increasing calcium content, according to the values of the apparent activation energy, E, and the frequeney constant, A. It is concluded that the calcium addition could improve the melting performance of Ag-Cu-Zn brazing alloy.展开更多

The total crystallization rate of PLLA was Mn-dependent, which reached the maximum value for PLLA with Mn of 18.6 kg/mol. In addition, when Mn of PLLA was 18.6 kg/mol, the melting enthalpy(ΔHm) showed a maximum value(87.1 J/g), which was the highest reported value till now. The critical temperature for change of crystal formation from ?-form to ?-form crystals increased in the isothermal crystallization process with Mn increasing. In the reheating procedure, high-Mn PLLA demonstrated a small exothermal peak prior to the dominant melting peak, corresponding to crystal transition from ?- to ?-form, but low-Mn PLLA didn't show the peak of crystal transition. These different crystallization and melting behaviors were attributed to the different chain mobility of PLLA with different Mn.展开更多

The mold was prepared by the sodium silicate/CO_2 method, using a blind riser, and then the desired molten steel was obtained using a coreless induction furnace. The casting was performed at melting temperatures of 1350, 1400, 1450, and 1500°C, and the cast blocks were immediately quenched in water. Optical microscopy was used to analyze the microstructure, and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and X-ray diffractrometry(XRD) were used to analyze the corrosion morphology and phase formation in the microstructure, respectively. The corrosion behavior of the samples was analyzed using a potentiodynamic polarization test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) in 3.5 wt% NaCl. The optical microscopy observations and XRD patterns show that the increase in melting temperature led to a decrease of carbides and an increase in the austenite grain size in the Hadfield steel microstructure. The corrosion tests results show that with increasing melting temperature in the casting process, Hadfield steel shows a higher corrosion resistance. The SEM images of the corrosion morphologies show that the reduction of melting temperature in the Hadfield steel casting process induced micro-galvanic corrosion conditions.展开更多

Linear viscoelastic parameters (eta (0) and G(N)(0)) and topologically constrained dimension number (n ' a and <(<upsilon>)over bar>) as a function of the primary molecular weight (M-n), molecular weight between entanglements (M-C) and the entanglement sites sequence distribution in polymer chain were determined. A new method for determination of viscoelastic parameters (eta (0), psi (10), G(N)(0) and J(e)(0)), topologically constrained dimension number (n ', a and v) and molecular weight (M-n, M-c and M-e) from the shear flow measurements was proposed. It was used to determine those parameters and structures of HDPE, making a good agreement between these values and those obtained by other methods. The agreement affords a quantitative verification for the molecular theory of nonlinear viscoelasticity with constrained entanglement in polymer melts.展开更多

The microstructure from the AZ91D magnesium alloy chips to the thixomolded products was investigated. Melting behavior of the chips in thixomolding process was analyzed. The evolution processing of solid phase morphology was studied,and evolution model was put forward. The results show that microstructures in outer zone of a chip and the inner zone are obviously different,and the severe distortion takes place in the brim of the chip,where the grains are observed to be bent,distorted,even broken. The severe plastic deformation region is firstly molten,then segregation area in the inner of the chip continues to melt. The liquid phase in solid phase does not formed by liquid entrapped during shearing process,but primarily induced by internal composition segregation.展开更多

The optical microscopy observations and XRD patterns show that the increase in melting temperature led to a decrease of carbides and an increase in the austenite grain size in the Hadfield steel microstructure. The corrosion tests results show that with increasing melting temperature in the casting process, Hadfield steel shows a higher corrosion resistance. The SEM images of the corrosion morphologies show that the reduction of melting temperature in the Hadfield steel casting process induced micro-galvanic corrosion conditions.

The instantaneous value of capillary entry pressure, capillary volume flow rate and their phase difference were measured and analyzed, and the melt apparent viscosity, which describes the rheological behavior of polymer melt in a vibrating force field, was obtained.

文摘An approach with statistical mechanics and a unified molecular theory of non-linearviscoelasticity with constraints of Gaussian chain entanglement for polymer melts were proposed.Amultimode model structure for a single polymer chain with tail segments and N reversibleentanglement sites on the test polymer chain was developed.The probability distribution function ofthe end-to-end vector for a single polymer chain at entangled state and the viscoelastic free energyof deformation for polymer melts were calculated.Four types of stress-strain relationship and mem-ory function were derived from this theory.The above theoretical relationships were verified by experi-mental data of PS(polystyrene)and LDPE(low density polyethylene)melts.

文摘Continental intraplate basalts form by partial melting of the mantle,and can provide important constraints on mantle heterogeneity.However,due to the thick overlying continental lithosphere,the origins of the geochemical characteristics of continental intraplate basalts are controversial.In this study,we examined the geochemistry of Cenozoic basalts in southeast China.These basalts which are divided into four volcanic belts exhibit a DMM-EM2 mixing trend and spatial variations in Pb isotopes from inland(i.e.,thick lithosphere)to coastal(i.e.,thin lithosphere)regions.In contrast to the Pb isotopic variations,there are no spatial variations in Sr-Nd-Hf isotopes.Marked correlations between Pb isotopes and major elements(i.e.,Mg O and Si O_(2))suggest the continental lithospheric lid controlled their petrogenesis.Nonetheless,other factors are needed to explain the variations in Ti/Ti^(*)and Hf/Hf^(*)ratios,and Nd-Hf isotopes of the southeast China basalts.The increasing Pb isotope ratios from the inner to coastal regions are associated with decreases in CaO/Al_(2)O_(3) ratios and increases in FC3MS(FeO^(T)/CaO-3×Mg O/Si O_(2);in wt.%)values,indicating contributions from non-peridotite components in the mantle sources.The similarly depleted Nd-Hf isotopic compositions of the basalts from the three inner belts indicate these basalts have a similar origin,whereas the more enriched isotopic features of the basalts from the outer belt suggest their mantle source contains older recycled oceanic crust.Thus,source(i.e.,lithological)heterogeneity also had a significant role in controlling the geochemistry of these basalts.The DMM-EM2 mixing trend defined by the Pb isotopic compositions of continental intraplate basalts from southeast China was generated by variable degrees of melting of heterogeneous mantle that was controlled by the thickness of the continental lithospheric lid(i.e.,the melting pressure).This caused variable extents of melting of enriched components in the mantle sources of the basalts(i.e.,carbonated peridotite vs.pyroxenite).
文摘激光粉末床熔融(Laser Powder Bed Fusion,LPBF)技术是定制化多孔纯Mo结构的重要技术。然而,LPBF成形纯Mo试样仍面临表面粗糙度值高及耐蚀性差等问题。电化学抛光(Electrochemical Polishing,ECP)是LPBF成形纯Mo的主要环保型后处理工艺。研究了不同ECP抛光状态对LPBF成形纯Mo的表面粗糙度及降解特性的影响。结果表明:经电化学抛光处理后,试样表面粗糙度由4.55μm显著降低至1.05μm;相比原始态试样,抛光后试样腐蚀电流密度降低了78.4%。失重率从大到小顺序为:原始态>半抛光>抛光,且随着浸泡时间增加,失重率逐渐增加。溶液pH值波动≤0.5,验证了降解过程未引发局部酸化,符合生物医用材料要求。通过采用ECP处理Mo基材料表面,为合理调控其植入体的降解行为及降解速率的均匀性提供了重要理论依据。
