The results show that the precipitation peak temperature of secondary Laves phases is 925 ℃. Below 925 ℃, the volume fraction of secondary Laves phases increases with the rise of the temperature, and its morphology changes from granular to thin-film;above 925 ℃, the volume fraction of secondary Laves phases shows an opposite trend to temperature, and its morphology changes from thin-film to granular. A detailed explanation through linear density (ρ) is provided that the influence of secondary Laves phases at the grain boundaries (GBs) on notch sensitivity depends on the coupling competition effect of their size, quantity, and morphology. Notably, the granular Laves phases are more beneficial to improving the notch sensitivity of the alloy compared with thin-film Laves phases. Granular secondary Laves phases can promote the formation of γ′ phases depletion zone to improve the ability of GBs to accommodate high strain localization, and effectively inhibit the crack initiation and propagation.展开更多

The specimens were held at 1 050℃for 300 s, then quenched into 20℃recycling water for 10 s as a cycle. During thermal fatigue,γ' precipitates changed typically from cubical to irregular shape after 10 cycles, to complex configuration after 20 cycles and raft-like shape after 30 cycles. The very fineγ' particles precipitated inter the originalγ' particles. The elastic energy dominated morphological evolution of largeγ' precipitates, and the thermal stress induced the directional growth of precipitates that minimized the total energy of the system, and the nucleation theory controlled the formation of fineγ' precipitate. The results show that the volume fraction ofγ' precipitates is increased with the increase of heating/cooling cycles, which improves the mechanical property of this alloy.展开更多

The precipitation of γ" and γ' phases during cooling is sensi-tive to P concentration. With increasing the concentration of Pf the amount of γ" and γ' particles increases after air cooling. With decreasing the cooling rate, the accelerating effect of P on the precipitation of γ" and γ' phases decreased first and then increased, which demonstrates the concentration of P dissolved in the grain interior decreases first and then increases. The different effects of P on γ"and γ' phases with different cooling rates were analyzed by the kinetic characteristic of nonequilibrium grain-boundary seg-regation. The characteristic of nonequilibrium grain-boundary segregation of P in superalloy is further confirmed, and the phenomenon caused by critical cooling rate is captured.展开更多

The results show that the stress rupture strength of the alloy increases with decreasing misfit, and the antiphase boundaries (APBs) formed in the ordered γ' phase, rather than the misfits, play a dominate role in strengthening of the single crystal Ni-base superalloy DD8.There are three kinds of mechanisms for forming the APBs which were observed in the present materials. One is mis-arrangement of the local ordered atoms in the γ' precipitates due to the local strain; the second arises from the 1/2<110> dislocations cutting into the γ', and the third is the formation of the APBs induced by the 1/2<110> matrix dislocation network. The contribution of the antiphase boundary energy to the strength of the alloy can be expressed by:where τ is the resistance to deformation provided by the APB energy; S is the long-range order degree in γ'; Tc is the transition temperature from order to disorder; f is the volume fraction of γ'; rs is the radius of γ'; b is the Burgers vector; a is the lattice constant; G is the shear modulus, and k is the proportional constant.展开更多

Cyclization and hydrolysis are key steps in the process, and Phase Transfer Catalysis (PTC) is used in the two steps respectively. In the cyclization reaction, because solid liquid PTC, sodium hydroxide is applied instead of expensive sodium alcoholate, the reaction can be carried out in mild conditions. The optimum re action conditions are as follows: 0.03∶1∶1.5 mole ratio of BTEAC to ester to sodium hydroxide, reacting at 50 ℃ for 2 h with yield of 92%. Hydrolysis of isopropyl cyclopropanecarboxylate is accelerated by liquid liquid PTC, and the order of catalytic activity is BTEAC>BTMAC>CTMAB>TBAB. The results show that the new synthesis method is superior to those from literature and feasible for production with simple routes, mild reaction conditions, cheap materials and total yield of 52.6%.展开更多

Growth competition among α, β, and γ phases in the injection-molded structure can be studied because of the presence of this hierarchical structure, wherein shish-kebab and spherulite layers were arranged alternately along the thickness direction. The γ crystals only existed in layers subjected to high pressure and shear stress, whereas β crystals formed between the shear layers. The change in trend of the γ fraction was similar to that of parent-to-daughter ratio. In addition, this hierarchical and alternating crystal structure can sharply increase the mechanical properties.展开更多

The calcined products were characterized using X-ray diffractional analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA). TG-DTA results reveal the various stages involved in transition from γ-phase to α-Al2O3 phase. The first phase γ-Al2O3 was presented in the temperature range from 600°C-875°C as deduced from the XRD patterns with cubic crystal structure. The second stage occurs in the temperature range from 900°C-1000°C. In the final step, above 1000°C, the aluminium oxide appears completely as α-Al2O3, showing high crystallinity. The particle sizes are closely related to γ- to α-Al2O3 phase transition.展开更多

文摘The aqueous two-phase system of PEG-4000/K<sub>3</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> is selected to extract interferon-γ（γ-IFN）from the broth of homogenized E.coil cells,which were recombined genetically and werefermented in high expressivity.The effects of pH value and the concentrations of PEG and phos-phate on the partition behavious of γ-IFN and contaminating proteins have been investigated.Theresults show that the pH value is the most influential factor effecting the extraction yield of γ-IFN.Under a suitable condition,an effective separation with high yield of γ-IFN can be achieved.
文摘The relationship between the γ/(γ+δ) boundary temperature Tδ of austenitic steels and the equivalent weights of [Crl and [Ni] and the variation rule of the δ phase volume with the temperature are studied With the aid of computer,the regressives expression derived from the experimental results are Tδ(℃) = T4 -21.2[Cr] +15.8[Ni]-223. Vδ(%)=0.715 exp 0.015(T-Tδ).
文摘Paraffin/γ-Al2O3 composites as phase change energy storage materials were prepared by absorbing paraffin in porous network of γ-Al2O3.In the composite materials,paraffin was used as a phase change material(PCM)for thermal energy storage,and γ-Al2O3 acted as supporting materials.Characterizations were conducted to evaluate the energy storage performance of the composites,and differential scanning calorimeter results showed that the PCM-3 composite has melting latent heat of 112.9 kJ/kg with a melting temperature of 62.9 ℃.Due to strong capillary force and surface tension between paraffin and γ-Al2O3,the leakage of melted paraffin from the composites can be effectively prevented.Therefore,the paraffin/γ-Al2O3 composites have a good thermal stability and can be used repeatedly.
