The practical distributive probability can be obtained only if the statistic distribution of austenitic octahedral segregation structure units and the interaction of the alloying elements in steel are considered. Based on 8 groups of experimental data of original steels, three empirical formulas revealing relationships between material macromechanics factor （Sm） and tensile strength （ab）, or impact energy （AK）, or hardness （HRC） of multi-component medium-low-alloy steels were established, respectively. Through the three empirical formulas, new supersaturated carburizing steel has been successfully designed and developed. The other 2 groups of the original experimental steels are used as the standard steel for testing the percentage error of the new steel. The results show that the calculated values are well consistent with those of measured ones and the new supersaturated carburized steel can meet the requirements of the die assembly of cold-drawn seamless stainless steel tube of Taiyuan Iron ＆ Steel （Group） Company LTD.展开更多

With the sublattice model, equilibrium compositions of ferrite and austenite phases in TRIP steels, as well as volume fraction of austenite at inter-critical temperatures for different time were calculated. Concentration profiles of carbon, manganese, aluminum and silicon in the steels were also estimated in the lattice fixed frame of reference. The effect of Si and Mn on TRIP was discussed according to thermodynamic and kinetic analyses. In order to understand and produce the graded nanophase structure of cemented carbides, miscellaneous phases in the M-Co-C （M= Ti, Ta, Nh） systems and Co-V-C system were modeled. Solution parameters and thermodynamic： properties were listed in detail. The improvement of machining behavior of prehardened mould steel for plastics was obtained by computer-aided composition design. The results showed that the matrix composition of large-section prehardened mould steel for plastic markedly influences the precipitation of non-metallic inclusion and the composition control by the aid of Thermo-Calc software package minimizes the amount of detrimental oxide inclusion. In addition, the modification of calcium was optimized in composition design.展开更多

文摘High-entropy fluorite oxides(HEFOs)show significant potential for thermal protection applications due to their advantageous combination of low thermal conductivity and high Yong’s modulus.However,the factors influencing its formation have not been well studied,and a systematic method for compositional design has not yet been established.In this paper,the effects of oxygen vacancy concentration(O_(vac))and mean cation radius(r¯)on formability of HEFOs were investigated to develop a compositional design approach.The results indicate that an appropriate r¯and Ovac is crucial for promoting the formability of single-phase(Ca_(x)Ce_(y1)Zr_(y2)Hf_(z)Sn_(z)Ti_(z))O_(2−δ)HEFOs.High mass/size disorder and an appropriate Ovac(10%)result in(Ca_(0.2)Ce_(0.1)4Zr_(0.1)2Hf_(0.18)Sn_(0.18)Ti_(0.18))O_(2−δ)exhibiting the lowest thermal conductivity of 1.24 W·m^(−1)·K^(−1).Building upon these insights and employing a valence combination strategy,three new single-phase HEFOs with low thermal conductivity were successfully designed and synthesized,namely,(La_(0.28)Y_(0.28)Ce_(0.18)Zr_(0.18)W_(0.08))O_(2−δ),(La_(_(0.3))Y_(_(0.3))Ce_(0.2)Nb_(0.1)Ta_(0.1))O_(2−δ),and(Yb_(0.52)Ce_(0.12)Zr_(0.12)Sn_(0.12)Nb_(0.12))O_(2−δ).This design approach will provide a valuable reference for the design of other high-entropy oxides.

文摘Nickel-based superalloys are indispensable for high-temperature engineering applications,yet their additive manufacturing(AM)is plagued by significant cracking defects.This review investigates crack failure mechanisms in AM nickel-based superalloys,emphasizing methodologies to evaluate crack sensitivity and compositional design strategies to mitigate defects.Key crack types—solidification,liquation,solid-state,stress corrosion,fatigue,and creep-fatigue cracks—are analyzed,with focus on formation mechanisms driven by thermal gradients,solute segregation,and microstructural heterogeneities.Evaluation frameworks such as the Rappaz-Drezet-Gremaud(RDG)criterion,Solidification Cracking Index(SCI),and Strain Age Cracking(SAC)index are reviewed for predicting crack susceptibility through integration of thermodynamic parameters,solidification kinetics,and mechanical properties.Alloy compositional design strategies are presented,including optimization of strengthening elements(Al,Ti),grain boundary modifiers(B,Zr,Re),and impurity control(C,O),which suppress crack initiation and propagation via microstructure refinement and enhanced high-temperature resistance.Computational approaches,such as thermodynamically assisted design,high-throughput experimentation,and machine learning,are highlighted for decoding complex composition-structure-property relationships.Challenges in modeling multi-scale defect interactions and developing unified frameworks for manufacturing-and service-induced cracks are outlined.This review underscores the necessity of integrated computational-experimental strategies to advance reliable AM of nickel-based superalloys,providing insights for defect prediction,alloy optimization,and process control.

文摘Determining the optimal ceramic content of the ceramics-in-polymer composite electrolytes and the appropriate stack pressure can effectively improve the interfacial contact of solid-state batteries(SSBs).Based on the contact mechanics model and constructed by the conjugate gradient method,continuous convolution,and fast Fourier transform,this paper analyzes and compares the interfacial contact responses involving the polymers commonly used in SSBs,which provides the original training data for machine learning.A support vector regression model is established to predict the relationship between the content of ceramics and the interfacial resistance.The Bayesian optimization and K-fold cross-validation are introduced to find the optimal combination of hyperparameters,which accelerates the training process and improves the model’s accuracy.We found the relationship between the content of ceramics,the stack pressure,and the interfacial resistance.The results can be taken as a reference for the design of the low-resistance composite electrolytes for solid-state batteries.

文摘The distribution of material phases is crucial to determine the composite’s mechanical property.While the full structure-mechanics relationship of highly ordered material distributions can be studied with finite number of cases,this relationship is difficult to be revealed for complex irregular distributions,preventing design of such material structures to meet certain mechanical requirements.The noticeable developments of artificial intelligence(AI)algorithms in material design enables to detect the hidden structure-mechanics correlations which is essential for designing composite of complex structures.It is intriguing how these tools can assist composite design.Here,we focus on the rapid generation of bicontinuous composite structures together with the stress distribution in loading.We find that generative AI,enabled through fine-tuned Low Rank Adaptation models,can be trained with a few inputs to generate both synthetic composite structures and the corresponding von Mises stress distribution.The results show that this technique is convenient in generating massive composites designs with useful mechanical information that dictate stiffness,fracture and robustness of the material with one model,and such has to be done by several different experimental or simulation tests.This research offers valuable insights for the improvement of composite design with the goal of expanding the design space and automatic screening of composite designs for improved mechanical functions.

文摘With the rapid development of artificial intelligence,magnetocaloric materials as well as other materials are being developed with increased efficiency and enhanced performance.However,most studies do not take phase transitions into account,and as a result,the predictions are usually not accurate enough.In this context,we have established an explicable relationship between alloy compositions and phase transition by feature imputation.A facile machine learning is proposed to screen candidate NiMn-based Heusler alloys with desired magnetic entropy change and magnetic transition temperature with a high accuracy R^(2)≈0.98.As expected,the measured properties of prepared NiMn-based alloys,including phase transition type,magnetic entropy changes and transition temperature,are all in good agreement with the ML predictions.As well as being the first to demonstrate an explicable relationship between alloy compositions,phase transitions and magnetocaloric properties,our proposed ML model is highly predictive and interpretable,which can provide a strong theoretical foundation for identifying high-performance magnetocaloric materials in the future.

文摘Aluminum alloys with ultra-strength and high-toughness are fundamental structural materials applied in the aerospace industry.Due to the intrinsic restriction between strength and toughness,optimizing a desirable combination of these conflicting properties is always challenging in material development.In this study,171 sets of data were curated based on the characteristics of high-strength and high-toughness aluminum alloys in the literature.Then,a machine learning design system(MLDS)with a property-oriented design strategy was established to rapidly discover novel aluminum alloys with ductility and toughness indexes(with elongationδ=8%–10%and fracture toughness K_(IC)=33–35 MPa·m^(1/2))comparable to those of current state-of-the-art AA7136 aluminum alloys when the ultimate tensile strength(UTS)exceeded approximately 100 MPa,with values reaching 700–750 MPa.With the MLDS for experimental verification,three typical candidate alloys show satisfactory performance with UTS of 707–736 MPa,δof 7.8%–9.5%,and K_(IC)of 32.2–33.9 MPa·m^(1/2).The high contents of Mg and Zn alloying elements in the novel alloys form abundantη'phases,which produce a significant hardening effect,while the reasonable matching of Cr,Mn,Ti and Zr dispersoids refines the grain size.The decreased Cu content compared with that in the AA7136 alloy inhibits the formation of theσphase and S phase,so that the alloys show high toughness.

文摘In this study,α+βTi-Al-V-Mo-Nb alloys with the addition of multiple elements that are suitable for laser additive manufacturing(LAM)were designed according to a Ti-6Al-4V cluster formula.This formula can be expressed as 12[Al-Ti12](AlTi2)+5[Al-Ti14]((Mo,V,Nb)2Ti),in which Mo and Nb were added into the alloys partially instead of V to give alloys with nominal compositions of Ti-6.01Al-3.13V-1.43Nb,Ti-5.97Al-2.33V-2.93Mo,and Ti-5.97Al-2.33V-2.20Mo-0.71Nb(wt.%).The microstructures and mechanical properties of the as-deposited and heat-treated samples prepared via LAM were examined.The sizes of theβcolumnar grains andαlaths in the Nb-containing samples are found to be larger than those of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy,whereas Mo-or Mo/Nb-added alloys contain finer grains.It indicates that Nb gives rise to coarsenedβcolumnar grains andαlaths,while Mo significantly refines them.Furthermore,the single addition of Nb improves the elongation,whereas the single addition of Mo enhances the strength of the alloys.The simultaneous addition of Mo/Nb significantly improves the comprehensive mechanical properties of the alloys,leading to the best properties with an ultimate tensile strength of 1,070 MPa,a yield strength of 1,004 MPa,an elongation of 9%,and micro-hardness of 355 HV.The fracture modes of all the alloys are ductile-brittle mixed fracture.

文摘A novel Ti-5.55Al-6.70Zr-1.50V-0.70Mo-3.41Nb-0.21Si alloy was designed using the cluster formula approach(cluster-plus-glue-atom model)and prepared by laser melting deposition(LMD).Its composition formula 12[Al-Ti_(12)](AlTi_(2))+5[Al_(0.8)Si_(0.2)-Ti_(12)Zr_(2)](V_(0.8)Mo_(0.2)Nb_(1)Ti)features an enhancedβ-Ti via co-alloying of Zr,V,Mo,Nb and Si.The experimental results show that the cluster formula ofαandβphases in the novel alloy are respectivelyα-[Al-Ti_(11.5)Zr_(0.5)](Al_(1)Ti_(2))andβ-[Al_(0.8)Si_(0.2)-Ti_(13.2)Zr_(0.8)](V_(1)Mo_(0.4)Nb_(1.6)),both containing Zr elements.The fitted composition via the α andβphase cluster formulas has little difference with the actual alloy composition,suggesting that the validity of cluster-plus-glue-atom model in the alloy composition design.After hot isostatic pressing(HIP),both the Ti-6Al-4V and the novel alloy by LMD are characterized by prior-βcolumnar grains,while the typical<100>texture disappears.Compared with Ti-6Al-4V,Ti-5.55Al-6.70Zr-1.50V-0.70Mo-3.41Nb-0.21Si alloy exhibits a combination of higher strength(1,056 MPa)and higher ductility(14%)at room temperature and higher strength(580 MPa)at 550℃ after HIP,and can potentially serves as LMD materials.
文摘Thermodynamic and kinetic study on TRIP （transformation induced plasticity） steels, cemented carbides and mold steel for plastics were carried out in order to design modern advanced materials. With the sublattice model, equilibrium compositions of ferrite and austenite phases in TRIP steels, as well as volume fraction of austenite at inter-critical temperatures for different time were calculated. Concentration profiles of carbon, manganese, aluminum and silicon in the steels were also estimated in the lattice fixed frame of reference. The effect of Si and Mn on TRIP was discussed according to thermodynamic and kinetic analyses. In order to understand and produce the graded nanophase structure of cemented carbides, miscellaneous phases in the M-Co-C （M= Ti, Ta, Nh） systems and Co-V-C system were modeled. Solution parameters and thermodynamic： properties were listed in detail. The improvement of machining behavior of prehardened mould steel for plastics was obtained by computer-aided composition design. The results showed that the matrix composition of large-section prehardened mould steel for plastic markedly influences the precipitation of non-metallic inclusion and the composition control by the aid of Thermo-Calc software package minimizes the amount of detrimental oxide inclusion. In addition, the modification of calcium was optimized in composition design.
