The finished Al/CFs composite sheet has CFs and pure Al sheets as sandwich and surface layers. After cross-section observation of the Al/CFs composite sheet, we found that the CFs discretely distributed within the sandwich layer. Besides, the tensile test showed that the contribution of the sandwich CFs layer to tensile strength was less than 11% compared with annealed pure Al sheet. With ex-situ observation of the CFs breakage evolution with-16%,-32%, and-45% rolling reduction during the ARB process, the plastic instability of the Al layer was found to bring shear damages to the CFs. At last, the bridging strengthening mechanism introduced by CFs was sacrificed. We provide new insight into and instruction on Al/CFs composite sheet preparation method and processing parameters.展开更多

In this study, a unified prediction model of accumulative deformation of geomaterials used in railway construction subjected to cyclic loadings is introduced and calibrated using physical model testing. Based on this versatile model, a calculation approach to determine the track structure settlement under repeated loadings caused by the movement of the wheel axle of the train is proposed.

Microstructural characterization indicated good interfacial bonding and an average grain size of ~440 nm was obtained after six passes. Tensile testing revealed that the strength reached the maximum value of 195 MPa and the total elongation exceeded 16% after five passes. The hardness was also significantly improved and almost reached saturation after the first pass. SEM fractography of AEB-processed specimens after tensile test showed that failure mode was shear ductile fracture with elongated shallow dimples. Comparison with conventional accumulative roll bonding indicates that this new AEB technique is more effective in refining grain and improving mechanical properties of the specimens.展开更多

During codeformation of the constituent metals, the hard Ti layers necked preferentially and then fragmented with the development of shear bands. Transmission electron microscopy showed that with increasing ARB cycles, grains in Ti were significantly refined even though dynamic recrystallization has occurred. For Cu the significant grain refinement was only found within the shear banded region when the composite was processed after five ARB cycles. Due to the diffusion of Cu atoms into Ti at the heterophase interfaces, amorphization with a width less than 10 nm was identified even in the composite processed by one cycle. At higher ARB cycles, the width of amorphous region increased and intermetallic compounds CuTi appeared from the region. The lattice defects introduced at the heterophase interfaces under roll bonding was responsible for the formation of the nano-scaled compounds. X-ray diffraction showed that an abnormal {1120} fiber texture was developed in Ti layers, while significant brass-type textures were developed in Cu layers. Some orientations along the {1120} fiber favored the prismatic < a> slip for Ti.Tensile tests revealed the elevated strength without a substantial sacrifice of ductility in the composites during ARB. The unique mechanical properties were attributed to the significantly refined grains in individual metals, the good bonding between the constituent metals, as well as the development of an abnormal {1120} fiber texture in Ti layers.展开更多

The microstructure and mechanical properties of this composite were investigated using optical and scanning microscopy and hardness and tensile testing. The results show that by increasing the applied strain, the Al/Ni/Cu multilayer composite converted from layer features to near a particle-strengthening characteristic. After the fifth ARB cycle, a composite with a uniform distribution of reinforcements(Cu, Ni, and SiC) was fabricated. The tensile strength of the composite increased from the initial sandwich structure to the first ARB cycle and then decreased from the first to the third ARB cycle. Upon reaching five ARB cycles, the tensile strength of the composite increased again. The variation in the elongation of the composite exhibited a tendency similar to that of its tensile strength. It is observed that with increasing strain, the microhardness values of the Al, Cu, and Ni layers increased, and that the dominant fracture mechanisms of Al and Cu were dimple formation and ductile fracture. In contrast, brittle fracture in specific plains was the main characteristic of Ni fractures.展开更多

The results show that the values of C and K of the carpenterworm pupae are (12.1 ± 0.2) °C and (295.2 ± 4.1) day-degrees at constant temperatures, and (15.5 ± 0.4) °C and (202.4 ± 13.1) day-degrees at variable temperatures. However, the values of C and K of the eggs at variable temperatures are (16.7 ± 0.8) °C and (101.5 ± 12.6) day-degrees. The differences of developmental threshold and effective accumulative temperature under the conditions of constant and variable temperatures of the carpenterworm pupae accord with the developmental regularity of most insects in nature. By comparing five different constant temperatures, the conclusion is that the optimum developmental temperature of the pupae is 21 °C when both the pupation of the mature larvae and the eclosion of the pupae are very accordant. Moreover, the percentage of eclosion is over 90%. The average developmental durations of the carpenter- worm pupae and eggs are 31 and 16 d at variable temperatures.展开更多

The lath-shaped Mg_(2) Sn phase in the Mg-3 Sn-1 Mn alloy is firstly broken and spheroidized,and then the size increases and coarsens with the increase of rolling reduction, most of Mg_(2) Sn move from grain boundary to grain and are homogeneously distributed within the matrix. However, the plate-shaped Mg Sn La compound in Mg-3 Sn-1 Mn-1 La gradually becomes fine, spheroidized, and homogeneously distributed. The grain sizes of Mg-3 Sn-1 Mn and Mg-3 Sn-1 Mn-1 La alloys become fine through dynamic recrystallization(DRX), though the grain refinement of Mg-3 Sn-1 Mn-1 La alloy is better compared to the Mg-3 Sn-1 Mn alloy. A large number of uniformly distributed spherical Mg Sn La compounds pin the dislocations, thus increasing the dislocation density. Hence, the driving force for DRX increases and promotes the formation of deformation bands and more twins, providing the sites for DRX nucleation and growth.展开更多

文摘In this paper,the work hardening and softening behavior of AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets by hard plate accumulative roll bonding(HP-ARB)process in a specific temperature range was studied for the first time,and the cyclic stress relaxation test,EBSD,TEM and other characterization methods were used.When the rolling temperature is 350℃,the grain size of magnesium sheets is refined to 4.32(±0.36)μm on average,and it shows an excellent combination of strength and plasticity.The tensile strength reaches 307(±8.52)MPa and the elongation is 12.73(±0.84)%.At this time,the curve of work hardening rate decreases smoothly and the degree of hardening is the lowest,and the amplitude of stress drop △σ_(p) in work softening test is the smallest with the increase of cycle times,which shows that the well coordination between work hardening and softening behavior has been achieved.Research has found that the combined effect of grain boundary strengthening and fine grain strengthening enhances the yield and tensile strength of magnesium sheets after three passes HP-ARB process at 350℃.This is attributed to the high degree of dislocation slip opening in the pyramidal surfaceand<c+a>,which not only coordinates the c-axis strain of the entire grain,but also promotes the slip transfer of dislocations in the fine-grained region,significantly improving the elongation of the sheets.This study provides a new idea for the forming and manufacturing of high performance magnesium alloy sheets.

文摘Cu/Al multilayers were produced by high-temperature accumulative roll bonding(ARB)methods up to three passes.To achieve a high bonding strength,prior to ARB processing,the Cu and Al sheets were heated to 350,400,450 and 500 ℃,respectively.The mechanical properties were evaluated by tensile tests.The microstructure was examined by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive spectrometry.The ultimate tensile stress,the grain size and the thickness of diffusion layer of lamellar composites increase with rolling temperature.When the rolling temperature is 400 ℃,the laminates show the highest ductility,but the yield stress is the lowest.As the rolling temperature further increases,both the yield stress and the ultimate tensile stress increase and the ductility decreases slightly.The mechanical properties of lamellar composites processed by low and high temperature ARB are determined by grain size and the thickness of diffusion layer,respectively.

文摘High electromagnetic shielding performance was achieved in the Mg-9Li-3Al-1Zn alloy processed by accumulative roll bonding(ARB).The microstructure,electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness(SE) in the frequency of 30-1500 MHz and mechanical properties of the alloy were investigated.A model based on the shielding of the electromagnetic plane wave was used to theoretically discuss the EMI shielding mechanisms of ARB-processed alloy.Results indicate that the SE of the material increases gradually with the increase in the ARB pass.The enhanced SE can be attributed to the obvious microstructure orientation caused by ARB,and the alternative arrangement of alpha(Mg) phase and beta(Li)phase.In addition,with the increase in ARB pass,the number of interfaces between layers increases and the grain orientation of each layer tends to alignment along c-axis,which is beneficial to the reflection loss and multiple reflection loss of the incident electromagnetic wave.

文摘Ultrafine-grained aluminum processed by a new severe plastic deformation technique, accumulative extrusion bonding (AEB), was investigated. Microstructural characterization indicated good interfacial bonding and an average grain size of ~440 nm was obtained after six passes. Tensile testing revealed that the strength reached the maximum value of 195 MPa and the total elongation exceeded 16% after five passes. The hardness was also significantly improved and almost reached saturation after the first pass. SEM fractography of AEB-processed specimens after tensile test showed that failure mode was shear ductile fracture with elongated shallow dimples. Comparison with conventional accumulative roll bonding indicates that this new AEB technique is more effective in refining grain and improving mechanical properties of the specimens.

文摘Ultrafine-grained(UFG)AA1060 sheets were fabricated via five-cycle accumulative roll bonding(ARB)and subsequent three-pass cold rolling(298 K),or cryorolling(83 K and 173 K).Microstructures of the aluminum samples were examined via transmission electron microscopy,and their mechanical properties were measured via tensile and microhardness testing.Results indicate that ultrafine grains in ARB-processed sheets were further refined by subsequent rolling,and the grain size became finer with reducing rolling temperature.The mean grain size of 666 nm in the sheets subjected to ARB was refined to 346 or 266 nm,respectively,via subsequent cold rolling or cryorolling(83 K).Subsequent cryorolling resulted in ultrafine-grained sheets of higher strength and ductility than those of the sheets subjected to cold rolling.

文摘Ti/Cu multilayered composites were fabricated via accumulative roll bonding(ARB). During codeformation of the constituent metals, the hard Ti layers necked preferentially and then fragmented with the development of shear bands. Transmission electron microscopy showed that with increasing ARB cycles, grains in Ti were significantly refined even though dynamic recrystallization has occurred. For Cu the significant grain refinement was only found within the shear banded region when the composite was processed after five ARB cycles. Due to the diffusion of Cu atoms into Ti at the heterophase interfaces, amorphization with a width less than 10 nm was identified even in the composite processed by one cycle. At higher ARB cycles, the width of amorphous region increased and intermetallic compounds CuTi appeared from the region. The lattice defects introduced at the heterophase interfaces under roll bonding was responsible for the formation of the nano-scaled compounds. X-ray diffraction showed that an abnormal {1120} fiber texture was developed in Ti layers, while significant brass-type textures were developed in Cu layers. Some orientations along the {1120} fiber favored the prismatic < a> slip for Ti.Tensile tests revealed the elevated strength without a substantial sacrifice of ductility in the composites during ARB. The unique mechanical properties were attributed to the significantly refined grains in individual metals, the good bonding between the constituent metals, as well as the development of an abnormal {1120} fiber texture in Ti layers.
文摘This work aims to evaluate the feasibility of the fabrication of nanostructured Cu/Al/Ag multi-layered composites by accumulative roll bonding(ARB),and to analyze the tensile properties and electrical conductivity of the produced composites.A theoretical model using strengthening mechanisms and some structural parameters extracted from X-ray diffraction is also developed to predict the tensile strength of the composites.It was found that by progression of ARB,the experimental and calculated tensile strengths are enhanced,reach a maximum of about 450 and 510 MPa at the fifth cycle of ARB,respectively and then are reduced.The electrical conductivity decreased slightly by increasing the number of ARB cycles at initial ARB cycles,but the decrease was intensified at the final ARB cycles.In conclusion,the merit of ARB to fabricate this type of multi-layered nanocomposites and the accuracy of the developed model to predict tensile strength were realized.
文摘In this study, a multilayer Al/Ni/Cu composite reinforced with Si C particles was produced using an accumulative roll bonding(ARB) process with different cycles. The microstructure and mechanical properties of this composite were investigated using optical and scanning microscopy and hardness and tensile testing. The results show that by increasing the applied strain, the Al/Ni/Cu multilayer composite converted from layer features to near a particle-strengthening characteristic. After the fifth ARB cycle, a composite with a uniform distribution of reinforcements(Cu, Ni, and SiC) was fabricated. The tensile strength of the composite increased from the initial sandwich structure to the first ARB cycle and then decreased from the first to the third ARB cycle. Upon reaching five ARB cycles, the tensile strength of the composite increased again. The variation in the elongation of the composite exhibited a tendency similar to that of its tensile strength. It is observed that with increasing strain, the microhardness values of the Al, Cu, and Ni layers increased, and that the dominant fracture mechanisms of Al and Cu were dimple formation and ductile fracture. In contrast, brittle fracture in specific plains was the main characteristic of Ni fractures.
文摘In order to understand the occurrence and the developmental regularity of seabuckthorn carpenterworm (Holcocerus hippophaecolus) and predict its population density, the developmental threshold temperature (C) and effective accumulative tem- perature (K) of the carpenterworm pupae and eggs were analyzed under the conditions of constant and variable temperatures. The results show that the values of C and K of the carpenterworm pupae are (12.1 ± 0.2) °C and (295.2 ± 4.1) day-degrees at constant temperatures, and (15.5 ± 0.4) °C and (202.4 ± 13.1) day-degrees at variable temperatures. However, the values of C and K of the eggs at variable temperatures are (16.7 ± 0.8) °C and (101.5 ± 12.6) day-degrees. The differences of developmental threshold and effective accumulative temperature under the conditions of constant and variable temperatures of the carpenterworm pupae accord with the developmental regularity of most insects in nature. By comparing five different constant temperatures, the conclusion is that the optimum developmental temperature of the pupae is 21 °C when both the pupation of the mature larvae and the eclosion of the pupae are very accordant. Moreover, the percentage of eclosion is over 90%. The average developmental durations of the carpenter- worm pupae and eggs are 31 and 16 d at variable temperatures.

文摘Copper sheet with grain size of 30-60μm was processed by plastic deformation of asymmetrical accumulative rolling-bonding(AARB)with the strain of 3.2.The effects of annealing temperature and time on microstructural evolution were studied by means of electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD).EBSD grain mapping,recrystallization pole figure and grain boundary misorientation angle distribution graph were constructed,and the characteristics were assessed by microstructure,grain size,grain boundary misorientation and texture.The results show that ultra fine grains(UFG)are obtained after annealing at 250℃ for 30?40 min.When the annealing is controlled at 250℃for 40 min,the recrystallization is finished,a large number of small grains appear and most grain boundaries consist of low-angle boundaries.The character of texture is rolling texture after the recrystallization treatment,but the strength of the texture is faint.While second recrystallization happens,{110}<1ī2>+{112}<11ī> texture component disappears and turns into{122}<212>cube twin texture component.

文摘We elucidate the effect of lanthanum(La) on the grain refinement of Mg-3 Sn-1 Mn alloy during accumulative hot rolling. The lath-shaped Mg_(2) Sn phase in the Mg-3 Sn-1 Mn alloy is firstly broken and spheroidized,and then the size increases and coarsens with the increase of rolling reduction, most of Mg_(2) Sn move from grain boundary to grain and are homogeneously distributed within the matrix. However, the plate-shaped Mg Sn La compound in Mg-3 Sn-1 Mn-1 La gradually becomes fine, spheroidized, and homogeneously distributed. The grain sizes of Mg-3 Sn-1 Mn and Mg-3 Sn-1 Mn-1 La alloys become fine through dynamic recrystallization(DRX), though the grain refinement of Mg-3 Sn-1 Mn-1 La alloy is better compared to the Mg-3 Sn-1 Mn alloy. A large number of uniformly distributed spherical Mg Sn La compounds pin the dislocations, thus increasing the dislocation density. Hence, the driving force for DRX increases and promotes the formation of deformation bands and more twins, providing the sites for DRX nucleation and growth.
文摘The accumulative roll-bonding(ARB)process was applied on the strips of aluminum alloy 1050 in two processing conditions:cold ARB and warm ARB.The results of tensile tests and microhardness measurement show that the warm ARB process exhibits the lower tensile strength and microhardness,more homogeneous distribution of the microhardness,higher elongation,and especially superior planar isotropy of the tensile properties in comparison to the cold ARB,because of the intermediate heat treatment as well as the elevated temperature rolling in the warm ARB process.Furthermore,with increasing the cycles of both processes,the planar isotropy decreases progressively.

文摘This article presents the texture development of magnesium AZ31 alloy in the accumulative roll bonded(ARB) AZ31/AZ31 multilayer and AZ31/AA5086 laminate composite.The comparative study demonstrates that the texture evolution in AZ31 in a multilayer system is strongly influenced by the interfaces.A typical basal texture of AZ31 has been observed in AZ31/AZ31 multilayer with texture intensity increased with the rolling deformation.Presence of AZ31/AA5086 interface in the laminate composite leads to a tilted basal texture along the rolling direction(RD) in AZ31 alloy.The texture intensity of composite increased initially with rolling reduction and weakened at the higher rolling strain.Weakening of texture in AZ31 during the laminate processing at higher strain has been attributed to the development of wavy interfaces in AZ31/AA5086 laminate.
