Most studies have focused on the RX behavior and its impact on the mechanical properties of single-crystal(SC) superalloys, with limited research on its influence on the high-temperature mechanical properties of DS superalloys. This study systematically investigated the effect of RX on the high-temperature tensile properties of a DS DZ409 superalloy. The results show that at 650℃, the yield strength decreases almost linearly with an increase in RX fraction. A significant reduction in elongation is observed as the RX fraction increases from 0% to 4.9%. However, beyond this point, further increase in RX fraction leads to minimal changes in elongation. At 950℃, both yield strength and elongation decrease as the RX fraction increases from 0% to 4.9%. At 650℃, fractures in the RX DS superalloys exhibit a mixed mode of transgranular and intergranular cleavage fracture, while at 950℃, it features a combination of ductile and intergranular dimple fractures. The failure mechanism of the RX DS superalloy is associated with the introduction of transverse grain boundaries(GBs) during RX. In the early stages of tensile testing at intermediate and high temperatures, cracks can easily initiate at these GBs. Subsequently, the cracks propagate along the GBs into the DS matrix, ultimately leading to failure of the DS superalloy.展开更多

The results show that the separate additions of 0.16% Sc and 0.16% Zr to pure Al improve the ultimate tensile strength but reduce the electrical conductivity, and the similar trend is found in the Al-0.12Sc-0.04 Zr alloy. After the subsequent heat treatment, the wire with the optimum comprehensive properties is Al-0.12Sc-0.04 Zr alloy, of which the ultimate tensile strength and electrical conductivity reach 160 MPa and 64.03%（IACS）, respectively.展开更多

These as-prepared composite materials were characterized with FT-IR, XRD, TG, DSC, SEM, and high insulation resistance meter. The results demonstrate that the multi-walled carbon nanotube was carboxyl functionalized, which improved the collection between c-MWCNTs and PLA, and further realized the graft copolymerization of c-MWCNTs and PLA. There is a higher glass transition temperature and a lower pyrolysis temperature of PLA/c-MWCNTs composites than pure PLA. The c-MWCNTs gave a better dispersion than unmodified MWCNTs in the PLA matrix, and an even coating of PLA on the surface of c-MWCNTs was obtained, which increased the interfacial interaction. High insulation resistance analysis showed that the addition of c-MWCNTs increased the electric conductivity, and c-MWCNTs performed against the large dielectric coefficient and electrostatic state of PLA. These results demonstrated that c-MWCNTs modified PLA composites were beneficial for potential application in the development of heat-resisting and conductivity plastic engineering.展开更多

Microstructure examination shows that the synthesized alloy has fine microstructure and contains Ni3Al, Al2O3, Ni3B and Cr3Ni2 phases. Moreover, the self-propagation high-temperature synthesis and extrusion lead to great deformation and recrystallization in the alloy, which helps to refine the microstructure and weaken the misorientation. In addition, the subsequent extrusion procedure redistributes the Al2O3 particles and eliminates the γ-Ni phase. Compared with the alloy synthesized without extrusion, the Ni3Al-0.5B-5Cr alloy fabricated by self-propagation high-temperature synthesis and extrusion has better room temperature mechanical properties, which should be ascribed to the microstructure evolution.展开更多

The X-ray diffraction revealed that the multiphase structure of the as-cast alloy with LaNi5 phase as the main phase was converted into a double-phase structure with La2Ni7 phase as the main phase after annealing. The surface morphology studied by scanning electronic microscope （SEM） showed that the annealed alloy had a much higher anti-corrosion ability than the as-cast alloy. Both alloys presented excellent activation characteristics at all test temperatures. The maximum discharge capacity of the as-cast alloy decreased when the test temperature increased, while the temperature almost had no effect on the annealed alloy. As the test temperature increased, the cyclic stability and charge retention of both alloys decreased, and these properties were improved significantly by annealing.展开更多

The electrical properties of the thick films were characterized by a digital multimeter, a Keithley 2400 and an impedance analyzer. The results show that with the Ba0.5Bi0.5Fe0.9Sn0.1O3 content increasing from 0.05 to 0.25, the values of room-temperature resistivity, thermistor constant and peak voltage of the thick films increases and are in the ranges of 1.47-26.5 ？·cm, 678-1345 K and 18.9-47.0 V, respectively. The corresponding current at the peak voltage of the thick films decreases and is in the range of 40-240 m A. The impedance spectroscopy measurement demonstrates that the as-prepared thick films show the abnormal electrical heterogeneous microstructure, consisting of high-resistive grains and less resistive grain boundary regions. It can be concluded that the addition of Ba0.5Bi0.5Fe0.9Sn0.1O3 into 30.94III0.04II0.02 Ba Co OBi Co improves the thermistor behavior and but also deteriorates the current characteristics.展开更多

文摘Surface recrystallization(RX) is a typical grain defect observed in directionally solidified(DS) Ni-based superalloys. Most studies have focused on the RX behavior and its impact on the mechanical properties of single-crystal(SC) superalloys, with limited research on its influence on the high-temperature mechanical properties of DS superalloys. This study systematically investigated the effect of RX on the high-temperature tensile properties of a DS DZ409 superalloy. The results show that at 650℃, the yield strength decreases almost linearly with an increase in RX fraction. A significant reduction in elongation is observed as the RX fraction increases from 0% to 4.9%. However, beyond this point, further increase in RX fraction leads to minimal changes in elongation. At 950℃, both yield strength and elongation decrease as the RX fraction increases from 0% to 4.9%. At 650℃, fractures in the RX DS superalloys exhibit a mixed mode of transgranular and intergranular cleavage fracture, while at 950℃, it features a combination of ductile and intergranular dimple fractures. The failure mechanism of the RX DS superalloy is associated with the introduction of transverse grain boundaries(GBs) during RX. In the early stages of tensile testing at intermediate and high temperatures, cracks can easily initiate at these GBs. Subsequently, the cracks propagate along the GBs into the DS matrix, ultimately leading to failure of the DS superalloy.

文摘While the enhancement of elastomer properties through nanofiller addition has been widely explored,developing high-performance elastomers for electrically insulating electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding materials using a simple approach remains crucial.In this study,high-performance composite silicone rubber(SR)elastomers were fabricated through a combination of straightforward physical mixing and chemical grafting approach.Specifically,the incorporation of components aluminum trioxide nanoparticles(n-Al_(2)O_(3))and reactive small molecule 2-isocyanoethyl acrylate(ICA)and 2-Amino-4-hydroxy-6-methylpyrimidine(UPY)into SR significantly improved both the mechanical strength and ther-mal resistance of the composites due to the synergistic effects of nanoparticles and hydrogen bonding.In addition,as flexible electronics become more complex and miniaturised,there is an increasing demand for stretchable electrically insulating EMI shielding materials.Liquid metal(LM)with extreme fluidity is ideal for the preparation of stretchable EMI shielding materials.By introducing LM,we prepared a stretchable electrically insulating EMI shielding material with a sandwich structure using a simple mechanical sintering and lamination process,and the EMI shielding properties of the material remained stable before and after stretching.The modified insulating layer has excellent elasticity and thermal stability,which en-sures the normal use of the composite EMI shielding material under high temperatures and mechanical deformation conditions.This research provides valuable insights into the development of shielding materials with high-performance electrical insulation and strain-invariant EMI shielding behavior.

文摘Commercial wrought high-strength Cu-Cr-Zr alloys face limited high-temperature properties due to the rapid coarsening or dissolution of Cr precipitates.Here,we report a laser powder bed fusion(LPBF)fabricated Cu-0.84Cr-0.42Zr(wt.%)alloy with exceptional heat resistance after aging.Primary Cr@Cu_(5)Zr phase(∼39.8 nm)with core-shell structure and a high density of heat-stable dislocations were intro-duced from the rapid solidification of LPBF and enabled the alloy to gain significant improvement in high-temperature properties.After aging treatment,secondary Cr and Cu_(51)Zr_(14)phases(∼3.4 nm)were precipitated,in which Zr solute was segregated at one side of the Cr phase,enhancing the thermal sta-bility of Cr phase.The excellent combinations of strength and thermal conductivity were achieved at or above 400℃.Particularly at 600℃,the aged sample not only exhibited a high tensile strength of∼196 MPa,which significantly surpassed that of wrought Cu-Cr-Zr alloys,but also possessed a thermal conductivity of∼349 W/(m K)comparable to that of pure copper.

文摘Fluorination is a critical surface modification technique for enhancing the electrical performance of composite insulators.This study employs molecular simulations to examine the microstructure and space charge behavior of fluorinated and non-fluorinated silicone rubber under an electric field,with experimental validation.The results show that fluorinated silicone rubber exhibits lower total energy,higher polarization,and stronger dipole moments compared to its non-fluorinated counterpart,shifting the material from an insulating to a conductive state.Under lower electric field strengths,the carbon-silicon bonds in fluorinated silicone rubber are longer,but it maintains geometric stability under higher fields.The energy gap changes across different fluorination modes and varies with electric field strength,indicating that fluorination affects conductivity differently at various field intensities.Both fluorination methods improve conductivity in the 0–3.8 V/nm range,with substitutional fluorination showing superior performance between 3.8 and 8.9 V/nm.Above 9.1 V/nm,fluorination maximizes conductivity.The fluorinated samples exhibit a greater redshift at higher electric fields,resulting in enhanced conductivity and improved surface charge distribution.These findings offer insights into the microscopic effects of fluorination on silicone rubber’s electrical properties,while experiments confirm that fluorination increases hydrophobicity and boosts DC flashover voltage,further enhancing the material’s performance.

文摘Lightweight aluminum alloy conductor materials(Al-Mg-Si alloys)require not only high electrical conductivity to reduce electrical loss,but also high strength to withstand extreme weather conditions.To improve electrical conductivity and mechanical properties of Al-Mg-Si alloy simultaneously,the rare earth La was introduced to modify the Al-Mg-Si alloy.The effect of La addition on the microstructure,tensile properties and electrical conductivity of cast Al-Mg-Si alloy was investigated systematically.Results indicate that the appropriate La content is helpful to improve the strength and electrical conductivity of Al-Mg-Si alloys.When the addition of La is 0.2wt.%,theα-Al grains are refined apparently,Mg and Si solute atoms in the Al matrix are reduced by the formation of Mg_(2)Si phase;the distribution of Al_(11)La_(3)phases is uniform,and the morphology of AlFeSi phase transforms from continuous state to discontinuous state.The Al-Mg-Si-0.2La alloy exhibits the optimal tensile properties and electrical conductivity,with an ultimate tensile strength of 170 MPa,a yield strength of 88 MPa,an elongation of 18.9%,and an electrical conductivity of 44.0%IACS.These values represent improvements of 9.0%,15.8%,70.3%,and 17.3%,respectively,compared to the Al-Mg-Si alloy without La addition.However,excessive La deteriorates the properties of Al-Mg-Si-xLa alloys.

文摘Immiscible bimetal systems,of which tungsten–copper(W–Cu)is a typical representative,have crucial applications in fields requiring both mechanical and physical properties.Nevertheless,it is a major challenge to determine how to give full play to the advantages of the two phases of the bimetal and achieve outstanding comprehensive properties.In this study,an ultrafine-grained W–Cu bimetal with spatially connected Cu and specific Wislands was fabricated through a designed powder-mixing process and subsequent rapid low-temperature sintering.The prepared bimetal concurrently has a high yield strength,large plastic strain,and high electrical conductivity.The stress distribution and strain response of individual phases in different types of W–Cu bimetals under loading were quantified by means of a simulation.The high yield strength of the reported bimetal results from the microstructure refinement and high contiguity of the grains in the W islands,which enhance the contribution of W to the total plastic deformation of the bimetal.The high electrical conductivity is attributed to the increased mean free path of the Cu and the reduced proportion of phase boundaries due to the specific phase combination of W islands and Cu.This work provides new insight into modulating phase configuration in immiscible metallic composites to achieve high-level multi-objective properties.

文摘The impact of rare-earth yttrium and cold-rolling reduction rate on the texture evolution and magnetic properties of non-oriented electrical steel is investigated.The experimental results clearly demonstrate that the influencing mechanism of rare-earth yttrium on texture evolution varies at different stages.During the stage of normalization and annealing,the second-phase particles with yttrium precipitate at the grain boundaries of brass-oriented grains,pinning the grain boundaries and inhibiting the development of brass components.During the cold rolling stage,the purification of rare earth yttrium significantly reduces the shear band density of cold-rolled steel.Consequently,the experimental steel with yttrium exhibits larger and more uniform grain size after recrystallization annealing.During the recrystallization stage,the nucleation energy of experimental steel with yttrium is reduced,which facilitates the nucleation of low-energy{100}and{110}grains,and greatly limits the growth of γ-recrystallized grains,forming strong cube and Goss textures after recrystallization annealing.The combination of these effects contributes to the superior magnetic properties of the non-oriented electrical steel with yttrium.The influence of cold rolling reduction rate on the magnetic properties of non-oriented silicon steel needs to be comprehensively considered in terms of the recrystallized grain size,texture,and sample thickness.The samples with higher cold-rolling reduction rate have better magnetic properties due to the reduction in eddy current losses caused by thickness reduction,which offsets the adverse effects of smaller grain size and more γ texture components on magnetic properties.

文摘The effects of forward extrusion as well as extrusion combined with reversible torsion(KoBo extrusion),followed by additional deformation via the MaxStrain module of the Gleeble thermomechanical simulator,on the microstructure,mechanical properties,and electrical conductivity of a Cu−0.7Mg(wt.%)alloy,were investigated.The simulation results highlighted the critical influence of processing history on determining the equivalent strain distribution.The sample subjected to forward extrusion at 400℃and subsequent MaxStrain processing(FM sample),possessed 76%lower grain size compared to the sample processed solely with MaxStrain(AM sample).Likewise,the KoBo-extruded and MaxStrain-processed sample(KM sample)exhibited 66%smaller grain size compared to the AM sample.Tensile test results revealed that the AM,FM,and KM samples,respectively,possessed 251%,288%,and 360%higher yield strength,and 95%,121%,and 169%higher tensile strength compared to the initial annealed alloy,as a result of grain refinement as well as deformation strengthening.Finally,the electrical conductivity measurements revealed that AM,FM,and KM samples,respectively,possessed electrical conductivity values of 37.9,35.6,and 32.0 MS/m,which,by considering their mechanical properties,makes them eligible to be categorized as high-strength and high-conductivity copper alloys.

文摘Current research on the fabrication of rolled composite plates primarily focuses on processing and bonding mechanisms.Compared with hot-rolling technology,the electrically assisted rolling process has demonstrated excellent performance in interfacial bonding effects.However,the influence of different current loading modes on the interfacial recombination process of composite panels varies significantly.In this study,low-frequency electrically assisted rolling was used in the first pass to pre-bond a composite plate at a low reduction rate of 15%.High-frequency electrically assisted rolling was used during the second pass,and Al/Mg alloy composite plates were obtained.The interfacial microstructure and mechanical properties of the composite plate were coordinated regulation by designing the rolling reduction rate.The results showed the interfacial morphology of the alternating distribution of the melt-diffusion layer,diffusion layer,and the formation of a new Al/Mg bonding interface.At the melt-diffusion interface,the irregular intermetallic compounds(IMCs)and the new Al/Mg bonding interface were alternately distributed,and the IMCs contained theα-Mg,Mg17Al12,and Mg2Al3 phases.In addition,an extremely high shear strength of 78.26 MPa was achieved.Adhesion of the Mg alloy matrix was observed on the fracture surface of the Al alloy side.The high shear strength was mainly attributed to the formation of a unique interfacial structure and the appearance of a melt-diffusion layer.Compared to the diffusion-reduction interface,the regular rectangular IMCs and the new Al/Mg bonding interface were alternately distributed,and the IMCs consisted of the Mg17Al12 and Mg2Al3 phases.The shear test results showed that the shear strength of the interface reached 68.69 MPa,and a regular distribution of the Mg alloy matrix with dimples and the Al alloy matrix with a necking zone was observed on the fracture surface of the Al side.Tensile strength test results revealed a maximum value of 316.86 MPa for the Al/Mg alloy composite plate.The tensile and interfacial bonding strengths can be synchronously enhanced by coordinating the regulation of the interfacial structure.This study proposes a new electrically assisted rolling technology that is useful for the fabrication of composite plates with excellent mechanical properties.

文摘Polyvinylidene fluoride/lead zirconate titanate(PVDF/PZT)composite films have been prepared by direct ink writing and the effect of PZT content on crystallization behavior and electrical properties of film were systematically investigated.The composite films were characterized by scanning electron microscope(SEM),X-ray diffractometer(XRD),Flourier transform infrared spectroscope(FTIR)and differential scanning calorimeter(DSC).The results show that,surface modified PZT powder(PZT@PDA)is successfully coated by polydopamine(PDA),resulting in a large number of polar groups that interact with the-CF_(2)-groups in PVDF,inducing the generation of polarβphase due to hydrogen bonding formed in the interaction.Theβphase content in composite film increases with increasing PZT@PDA content,up to 28.09%as with 5 wt.%PZT@PDA.PZT@PDA plays a role of nucleating agent to promote the generation of polar phases in the film and also acts as an impurity hindering the growth of nuclei to reduce crystallinity.Moreover,the presence of PZT@PDA in interfaces provides more sites for the occurrence of interfacial polarization and thus improving the electrical properties of films.The composite film with 5 wt.%PZT@PDA possesses the highest dielectric constant(8.61)and residual polarization value(0.6803μC/cm^(2)).

文摘In order to obtain the Al wires with good mechanical properties and high electrical conductivities, conductive wires of Al-0.16 Zr, Al-0.16 Sc, Al-0.12Sc-0.04Zr（mass fraction, %） and pure Al（99.996%） were produced with the diameter of 9.5 mm by continuous rheo-extrusion technology, and the extruded materials were heat treated and analyzed. The results show that the separate additions of 0.16% Sc and 0.16% Zr to pure Al improve the ultimate tensile strength but reduce the electrical conductivity, and the similar trend is found in the Al-0.12Sc-0.04 Zr alloy. After the subsequent heat treatment, the wire with the optimum comprehensive properties is Al-0.12Sc-0.04 Zr alloy, of which the ultimate tensile strength and electrical conductivity reach 160 MPa and 64.03%（IACS）, respectively.

文摘Biodegradable poly （D,L-lactide） （PLA）/carboxyl-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes （c-MWCNTs） composites were achieved via in-situ polymerization. These as-prepared composite materials were characterized with FT-IR, XRD, TG, DSC, SEM, and high insulation resistance meter. The results demonstrate that the multi-walled carbon nanotube was carboxyl functionalized, which improved the collection between c-MWCNTs and PLA, and further realized the graft copolymerization of c-MWCNTs and PLA. There is a higher glass transition temperature and a lower pyrolysis temperature of PLA/c-MWCNTs composites than pure PLA. The c-MWCNTs gave a better dispersion than unmodified MWCNTs in the PLA matrix, and an even coating of PLA on the surface of c-MWCNTs was obtained, which increased the interfacial interaction. High insulation resistance analysis showed that the addition of c-MWCNTs increased the electric conductivity, and c-MWCNTs performed against the large dielectric coefficient and electrostatic state of PLA. These results demonstrated that c-MWCNTs modified PLA composites were beneficial for potential application in the development of heat-resisting and conductivity plastic engineering.

文摘The well-densified Ni3Al-0.5B-5Cr alloy was fabricated by self-propagation high-temperature synthesis and extrusion technique. Microstructure examination shows that the synthesized alloy has fine microstructure and contains Ni3Al, Al2O3, Ni3B and Cr3Ni2 phases. Moreover, the self-propagation high-temperature synthesis and extrusion lead to great deformation and recrystallization in the alloy, which helps to refine the microstructure and weaken the misorientation. In addition, the subsequent extrusion procedure redistributes the Al2O3 particles and eliminates the γ-Ni phase. Compared with the alloy synthesized without extrusion, the Ni3Al-0.5B-5Cr alloy fabricated by self-propagation high-temperature synthesis and extrusion has better room temperature mechanical properties, which should be ascribed to the microstructure evolution.

文摘The structure and high-temperature electrochemical properties of the as-cast and annealed （940 °C, 8 h） La0.60Nd0.15Mg0.25Ni3.3Si0.10 hydrogen storage alloys were investigated. The X-ray diffraction revealed that the multiphase structure of the as-cast alloy with LaNi5 phase as the main phase was converted into a double-phase structure with La2Ni7 phase as the main phase after annealing. The surface morphology studied by scanning electronic microscope （SEM） showed that the annealed alloy had a much higher anti-corrosion ability than the as-cast alloy. Both alloys presented excellent activation characteristics at all test temperatures. The maximum discharge capacity of the as-cast alloy decreased when the test temperature increased, while the temperature almost had no effect on the annealed alloy. As the test temperature increased, the cyclic stability and charge retention of both alloys decreased, and these properties were improved significantly by annealing.

文摘The microstructures and properties of the Zn-Cu-Bi-Sn(ZCBS) high-temperature solders with various Sn contents were studied using differential scanning calorimetry(DSC),scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD).The results indicate that the increase of Sn content can both decrease the melting temperature and melting range of ZCBS solders and it can also effectively improve the wettability on Cu substrate.The shear strength of solder joints reaches a maximum value with the Sn addition of 5%(mass fraction),which is attributed to the formation of refined β-Sn and primary ε-CuZn_5 phases in η-Zn matrix.However,when the content of Sn exceeds 5%,the shear strength decreases due to the formation of coarse β-Sn phase,which is net-shaped presented at the grain boundary.

文摘Thick-film thermistor with negative temperature coefficient（NTC）, low room-temperature resistivity and modest thermistor constant was screen-printed on the alumina substrate by the combination of 30.94III0.04II0.02 B OBi Coa Co with Ba0.5Bi0.5Fe0.9Sn0.1O3. The electrical properties of the thick films were characterized by a digital multimeter, a Keithley 2400 and an impedance analyzer. The results show that with the Ba0.5Bi0.5Fe0.9Sn0.1O3 content increasing from 0.05 to 0.25, the values of room-temperature resistivity, thermistor constant and peak voltage of the thick films increases and are in the ranges of 1.47-26.5 ？·cm, 678-1345 K and 18.9-47.0 V, respectively. The corresponding current at the peak voltage of the thick films decreases and is in the range of 40-240 m A. The impedance spectroscopy measurement demonstrates that the as-prepared thick films show the abnormal electrical heterogeneous microstructure, consisting of high-resistive grains and less resistive grain boundary regions. It can be concluded that the addition of Ba0.5Bi0.5Fe0.9Sn0.1O3 into 30.94III0.04II0.02 Ba Co OBi Co improves the thermistor behavior and but also deteriorates the current characteristics.
