The results show that the structure is an essential factor that affects degradation, andadded non-metallic elements help optimize the structure. The amorphous and balled-milled crystalline Fe7oSiloB2o hascomparative degradation efficiencies to MO with tl/2 values of 6.9 and 7.0 min, respectively. Increasing the boron contentcan create a favorable structure and promote degradation. The ball-milled crystalline Fe70B30 and Fe43.64B56.36 powdershave relatively short tl/2 values of 5.2 and 3.3 rain, respectively. The excellent properties are mainly attributed to theirheterogeneous structure with boron-doped active sites in ZVI. Composition segregation in the nanoscale range in anamorphous FeSiB alloy and small boron particles in the microscale range embedded in large iron particles prepared by ball-milling, both constitute effective galvanic cells that promote iron electron loss and therefore decompose organic chemicals.These findings may provide a new, highly efficient, low-cost commercial method for azo dye wastewater treatment usingZVI.展开更多

These specimens made from industrial test pieces were carburized in a powder pack for about two to five hours at a temperature of about 850?C - 950?C. The effects of austenitization and quenching are investigated on some specimens. Also the wear tests are performed by means of a pin-on-disc tribotester using roll bearing steel as the counterface material. The results indicate that by appropriate selection of process parameters, it is possible to obtain high wear resistance along with moderate toughness. It is concluded that surface treatments increases the wear resistance and performance of PM parts in service conditions. By increasing the role of PM in industry which resulted from their ability to produce the complex shapes, high production rate, and dimension accuracy of final products, they need to be heat treated. Carburizing method was selected as a surface hardening method for PM parts. Results of wear and hardness show considerable enhancement in mechanical properties of PM parts.展开更多

The formation regularities of the phases in as prepared powders and the structures of the nanometer particles were investigated. Pure Fe nanometer powders with about 70% γ Fe phase is prepared in present study by using the powder collector with good cooling effect. In the nanometer powders of Fe Ni alloy, solid solution phase γ (Fe,Ni) and α Fe phase form, but for Fe Cr alloys only solid solution phase α (Fe,Cr) forms. In the nanometer powders of Fe Cu alloy, only pure metal phases of γ Fe and Cu form, and no compound or solid solution phase exists. The formation regularity of the phases in the nanometer powders of alloys obeys the common phase laws in bulk alloy state.展开更多

Here, it is demonstrated that the embrittled Fe-based MG can be reductilized and the coercivity can be further lowered through the rejuvenation of memory effect. The synchronous improvement in the plasticity and soft magnetic properties is attributed to the combination effects of releasing much residual stress, decreasing the magnetic anisotropy, and homogenizing the glasses during the rejuvenation process. The current work opens a new perspective to improve the properties of MGs by utilizing the memory effect and holds promising commercial application potential.展开更多

文摘In this study,a few Fe-based amorphous matrix composite coatings reinforced with various portions(4,8 and16 vol.%) of 31 6L stainless steel powders have been successfully produced through high velocity oxy-fuel(HVOF) spraying.The microstructure of the composite coatings was systematically characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).The main structure of composite coatings remained amorphous while 31 6L stainless steel splats were distributed homogeneously in the amorphous matrix and well connected with surrounding amorphous phase.Bonding strength of coatings to the substrate was determined by 'pull-off' tensile tests.The results revealed that the31 6L stainless steel phase effectively improved the bonding strength of amorphous coatings,which is mainly contributed by the strong metallurgical bonding between stainless steel and amorphous splats.The addition of31 6L stainless steel also enhanced the ductility and fracture resistance of the coatings due to the ductile stainless steel phases,which can arrest crack propagation and increase energy dissipation.

文摘Sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)have the advantages of environmental friendliness,cost-effectiveness,and high energy density,which are considered one of the most promising candidates for lithium-ion batteries(LIBs).The cathode materials influence the cost and energy output of SIBs.Therefore,the development of advanced cathode materials is crucial for the practical application of SIBs.Among various cathode materials,layered transition metal oxides(LTMOs)have received widespread attention owing to their straightforward preparation,abundant availability,and cost-competitiveness.Notably,layered Fe-based oxide cathodes are deemed to be one of the most promising candidates for the lowest price and easy-to-improve performance.Nevertheless,the challenges such as severe phase transitions,sluggish diffusion kinetics and interfacial degradation pose significant hurdles in achieving high-performance cathodes for SIBs.This review first briefly outlines the classification of layered structures and the working principle of layered oxides.Then,recent advances in modification strategies employed to address current issues with layered iron-based oxide cathodes are systematically reviewed,including ion doping,biphasic engineering and surface modification.Furthermore,the review not only outlines the prospects and development directions for layered Fe-based oxide cathodes but also provides novel insights and directions for future research endeavors for SIBs.
文摘A serials of Fe based nanometer powders were fabricated by reduced pressure gas evaporation process with induction current as the heating source. The formation regularities of the phases in as prepared powders and the structures of the nanometer particles were investigated. Pure Fe nanometer powders with about 70% γ Fe phase is prepared in present study by using the powder collector with good cooling effect. In the nanometer powders of Fe Ni alloy, solid solution phase γ (Fe,Ni) and α Fe phase form, but for Fe Cr alloys only solid solution phase α (Fe,Cr) forms. In the nanometer powders of Fe Cu alloy, only pure metal phases of γ Fe and Cu form, and no compound or solid solution phase exists. The formation regularity of the phases in the nanometer powders of alloys obeys the common phase laws in bulk alloy state.

文摘Based on computational fluid dynamics method,the effect of atomization gas pressure on the atomization efficiency of Laval nozzle was studied,and then a discrete phase model was established and combined with industrial trials to study the effect of a new type of assisted gas nozzles(AGNs)on powder size distribution and amorphous powder yield.The results show that increasing the atomization pressure can effectively improve the gas velocity for the Laval nozzle;however,it will decrease the aspiration pressure,and the optimal atomization pressure is 2.0 MPa.Compared with this,after the application of AGNs with the inlet velocity of 200 m s^(-1),assisted gas jet can increase the velocity of overall droplets in the break-up and solidification area by 40 m s^(-1) and the maximum cooling rate is increased from 1.9×10^(4) to 2.3×10^(4) K s^(-1).The predicted particle behavior is demonstrated by the industrial trails,that is,after the application of AGNs,the median diameter of powders d50 is decreased from 28.42 to 25.56 lm,the sphericity is increased from 0.874 to 0.927,the fraction of amorphous powders is increased from 90.4% to 99.4%,and only the coercivity is increased slightly due to the accumulation of internal stress.It is illustrated that the AGNs can improve the yield of fine amorphous powders,which is beneficial to providing high-performance raw powders for additive manufacturing technology.

文摘Conventional Fe-C alloy parts used in mechanical transmission and braking systems exposed to the external environment often suffer from wear and corrosion failures.Surface coating strengthening technologies have been explored to improve the surface performance and prolong service life of these parts.Among these technologies,laser cladding has shown promise in producing Fe-based alloy coatings with superior interfacial bonding properties to the Fe-C alloy substrate.Additionally,the microstructure of the Fe-based alloy coating is more uniform and the grain size is finer than that of surfacing welding,thermal spraying,and plasma cladding,and the oxide film of alloying elements on the coating surface can improve the coating performance.However,Fe-based alloy coatings produced by laser cladding typically exhibit lower hardness,lower wear resistance,corrosion resistance,and oxidation resistance compared to coatings based on Co and Ni alloys.Moreover,these coatings are susceptible to defects such as pores and cracks.To address these limitations,the incorporation of rare-earth oxides through doping in the laser cladding process has garnered significant attention.This approach has demonstrated substantial improvements in the microstructure and properties of Fe-based alloy coatings.This paper reviewed recent research on the structure and properties of laser-cladded Fe-based alloy coatings doped with various rare earth oxides,including La_(2)O_(3),CeO_(2),and Y_(2)O_(3).Specifically,it discussed the effects of rare earth oxides and their concentrations on the structure,hardness,friction,wear,corrosion,and oxidation characteristics of these coatings.Furthermore,the mechanisms by which rare earth oxides influence the coating’s structure and properties were summarized.This review aimed to serve as a valuable reference for the application and advancement of laser cladding technology for rare earth modified Fe-based alloy coatings.

文摘The effects of deep cryogenic-cycling treatment(DCT)on the mechanical properties,soft magnetic properties,and atomic scale structure of the Fe_(73.5)Si_(13.5)B_(9)Nb_(3)Cu_(1)amorphous nanocrystalline alloy were investigated.The DCT samples were obtained by subjecting the as-annealed samples to a thermal cycling process between the temperature of the supercooled liquid zone and the temperature of liquid nitrogen.Through flat plate bending testing,hardness measurements,and nanoindentation experiment,it is found that the bending toughness of the DCT samples is improved and the soft magnetic properties are also slightly enhanced.These are attributed to the rejuvenation behavior of the DCT samples,which demonstrate a higher enthalpy of relaxation.Therefore,DCT is an effective method to enhance the bending toughness of Fe-based amorphous nanocrystalline alloys without degrading the soft magnetic properties.

文摘Annealing has been a popular method to improve the soft magnetism of metallic glasses (MGs), which however usually makes MGs brittle and difficult to process. Here, it is demonstrated that the embrittled Fe-based MG can be reductilized and the coercivity can be further lowered through the rejuvenation of memory effect. The synchronous improvement in the plasticity and soft magnetic properties is attributed to the combination effects of releasing much residual stress, decreasing the magnetic anisotropy, and homogenizing the glasses during the rejuvenation process. The current work opens a new perspective to improve the properties of MGs by utilizing the memory effect and holds promising commercial application potential.
文摘The present work provides a facile and efficient method for producing ultrafine copper powders.Ultrafine copper powders were synthesized through a solvothermal method,utilizing ethanol both as a solvent and a reducing agent.Specifically,by exploiting the weak reducing property of ethanol,the copper precursor is first converted to copper oxide and then further reduced to cuprous oxide and pure copper.Such a method can effectively control the morphology and particle size of the copper powder,reduce particle aggregation,and enhance oxidation resistance.It is cost-effective and produces fewer toxic by-products.Spherical copper particles with an average particle size of about 180 nm were obtained.The initial oxidation temperature is approximately 150℃,and the resulting copper powders can be stored stably under ambient conditions for at least 5 months,demonstrating excellent oxidation resistance and thermal stability.

文摘A dual-phase synergistic enhancement method was adopted to strengthen the Al-Mn-Mg-Sc-Zr alloy fabricated by laser powder bed fusion(LPBF)by leveraging the unique advantages of Er and TiB_(2).Spherical powders of 0.5wt%Er-1wt%TiB_(2)/Al-Mn-Mg-Sc-Zr nanocomposite were prepared using vacuum homogenization technique,and the density of samples prepared through the LPBF process reached 99.8%.The strengthening and toughening mechanisms of Er-TiB_(2)were investigated.The results show that Al_(3)Er diffraction peaks are detected by X-ray diffraction analysis,and texture strength decreases according to electron backscatter diffraction results.The added Er and TiB_(2)nano-reinforcing phases act as heterogeneous nucleation sites during the LPBF forming process,hindering grain growth and effectively refining the grains.After incorporating the Er-TiB_(2)dual-phase nano-reinforcing phases,the tensile strength and elongation at break of the LPBF-deposited samples reach 550 MPa and 18.7%,which are 13.4%and 26.4%higher than those of the matrix material,respectively.
文摘The application and promotion of waste glass powder concrete(WGPC)cansignificantly alleviate the pressure of concrete material scarcity and environmental pollution.Compressive strength(CS)is a critical parameter for evaluating the efficacy of WGPC.Unlike conventional testing methods,machine learning techniques offer precise and reliable predictions of concrete’s compressive strength,especially in its long-term mechanical properties.In this work,four models,namely Multiple Linear Regression(MLR),Back Propagation Neural Network(BPNN),Support Vector Regression(SVR),and Random Forest Regression(RFR)were employed.Furthermore,particle swarm optimization(PSO)algorithm and cross-validation techniques were applied to fine-tune the model parameters,striving for peak prediction performance.The results indicated that optimized models generally exhibit enhanced predictive accuracy compared to their basic counterparts.Notably,the PSO-RFR model excels among all evaluated models,showcasing superior performance on the testing dataset.It achieves a coefficient of determination(R^(2))of 0.9231,a mean absolute error(MAE)of 2.1073,and a root mean square error(RMSE)of 3.6903.When compared to experimental results,the PSO-RFR and PSO-BPNN models demonstrate exceptional predictive accuracy.Notably,the PSO-BPNN model exhibits the closest R^(2)values between its training and test sets.This close alignment of R^(2)values between the training and testing sets reflects the PSO-BPNN model’s superior generalization ability for unseen data.The findings present an efficient method for predicting concrete’s compressive strength,contributing to the sustainable development of concrete materials,and providing theoretical support for their research and application.

文摘Adding magnesite flotation concentrate powder in the production of fused magnesia has become an important method for reducing costs and improving the yield.However,the extensive use of concentrate powder also reduces the quality of fused magnesia raw materials,which is a major cause of the reduced slag corrosion resistance and service life of magnesia-carbon refractories.The effects of concentrate powder additions(0,30%,60%,and 90%,by mass)on the chemical composition,phase composition,microstructure,bulk density,and apparent porosity of the produced 97-grade fused magnesia were investigated.The results show that as the concentrate powder addition increases,the bulk density first increases and then decreases,while the apparent porosity first decreases and then increases.The crystal size of the fused magnesia increases,and the pores at the grain boundaries become larger.The CaO/SiO_(2)molar ratio(C/S ratio)in the fused magnesia increases from 1.17 to 4.17.The bonding phases between the fused magnesia grains change from low-melting-point phases such as CMS(CaMgSiO_(4))and C_(3)MS_(2)(3CaO·MgO·2SiO_(2))to high-melting-point phases like C_(2)S(2CaO·SiO_(2)),C_(3)S(3CaO·SiO_(2)),and CaO,which is beneficial for improving the high-temperature performance of the fused magnesia.However,during production,the volume effects resulting from the polymorphic transformation of dicalcium silicate(C_(2)S)and the low-temperature decomposition of tricalcium silicate(C_(3)S)create significant voids around the fused magnesia grains.These voids can provide pathways for slag corrosion in subsequent magnesia-carbon products,which is likely the primary reason for the decline in the slag corrosion resistance and service life of carbon-containing refractories made from this type of fused magnesia.

文摘High-moisture meat analogues(HMMAs)offer sustainable protein alternatives to conventional meat and become a research hotspot in recent years.This study systematically investigated the impact of nori powder(NP)incorporation(0.5%–2.0%)on the physicochemical and structural properties of HMMAs.Rheological analysis revealed that NP reduced the viscosity(consistency coefficient K decreased from 65.67 Pa⋅s to 16.66–19.99 Pa⋅s)and enhanced the fluidity(flow behavior index n increased from 0.25 to 0.33–0.38)of raw material.NP addition progressively decreased the redness values(a*),except for 0.5%NP level.At 1.0%NP level,HMMAs exhibited a denser microstructure with reduced water mobility,resulting in the lowest water holding capacity(2.07 g/g).Conversely,2.0%NP promoted highly oriented fibrous structures,achieving a maximal texturization degree of 1.51.Secondary structure analysis indicated NP facilitated a shift fromα-helix toβ-sheet conformations(β-sheet content increased from 26.06%to 29.92%at 2.0%NP),resulting in stabilized protein networks.These modifications were attributed to NP-induced hydrophobic interactions and polysaccharide-protein crosslinking.The study demonstrates NP's role in modulating HMMA texture and nutrition,providing critical insights for developing fiber-enhanced,nutrient-fortified HMMAs.
文摘Received:06 December 2025;Accepted:25 February 2026;Published:30 March 2026 ABSTRACT:In the last decade,the importance of sustainable construction and artificial intelligence(AI)in civil engineering has been underlined in many studies.Numerous studies highlighted the superiority of AI techniques over simple and mathematical regression analyses,which suffer from relatively poor generalization and an inability to capture highly non-linear relationships among inputs and output(s)parameters.In this study,to evaluate the compressive strength of concrete with glass powder(GP)and recycled aggregates,600 concrete samples were tested in the laboratory,and their results were evaluated.For intelligent assessment of concrete compressive strength(CCS),the study utilized an improved artificial neural network(ANN)with particle swarm optimization(PSO)algorithm and imperialist competitive algorithm(ICA).For training the models,the experimentally obtained data were used.The concrete ingredients formed the inputs of the AI-based predictive models of CCS.The experimental findings reveal that the implementation of recycled coarse aggregates in concrete from a sustainable construction point of view is advantageous and can enhance the CCS by 11.43%.Apart from that,findings indicate that utilization of 10%GP can lead to a nearly 20%increase in CCS(from 44.6 to 54.1 MPa).Additionally,the experimental observations show almost 40%improvement of CCS when 5%micro silica was used in the concrete mixture.Based on the findings,the study suggests the utilization of waste glass powder to partially replace cement in concrete,which can reduce the amount of cement production.This reduction from economic,energy-saving,and environmental(reduction in greenhouse gas emissions)points of view is of interest.On the other hand,the AI results show that the PSO-based ANN model outperforms the ICA-based ANN for the utilized dataset.According to the findings,the PSO-based ANN predictive model(with a coefficient of determination value of 0.939 and root mean square value of 0.113 for testing data)is a capable tool in predicting the CCS.Hence,this study recommends the implementation of AI-based models in CCS assessment.

文摘The electromagnetic wave absorption of silicon carbide nanowires is improved by their uniform and diverse cross-structures.This study introduces a sustainable and high value-added method for synthesizing silicon carbide nanowires using lignite and waste silicon powder as raw materials through carbothermal reduction.The staggered structure of nanowires promotes the creation of interfacial polarization,impedance matching,and multiple loss mechanisms,leading to enhanced electromagnetic absorption performance.The silicon carbide nanowires demonstrate outstanding electromagnetic absorption capabilities with the minimum reflection loss of-48.09 d B at10.08 GHz and an effective absorption bandwidth(the reflection loss less than-10 d B)ranging from 8.54 to 16.68 GHz with a thickness of 2.17 mm.This research presents an innovative approach for utilizing solid waste in an environmentally friendly manner to produce broadband silicon carbide composite absorbers.
