Repetitive upsetting （RU） was applied to severely deforming the as-cast composite at 400 ℃ for 1, 3, and 5 passes. Finite element analysis of the material flow indicates that deformation concentrates in the bottom region of the sample after 1 pass, and much more uniform deformation is obtained after 5 passes. During multi-pass RU process, both dendritic and Chinese script type Mg2Si phases are broken up into smaller particles owing to the shear stress forced by the matrix. With the increasing number of RU passes, finer grain size and more homogeneous distribution of Mg2Si particles are obtained along with significant enhancement in both strength and ductility. AZ31-4.6%Mg2Si composite exhibits tensile strength of 284 MPa and elongation of 9.8%after 5 RU passes at 400 ℃ compared with the initial 128 MPa and 5.4%of original AZ31-4.6%Mg2Si composite.展开更多

During the RU processing, dynamic recrystallization occurs in the Mg alloy, which leads to a significant grain refinement from 11.2 p.m to 2.8 μm. The yield strength （YS）, ultimate tensile strength （UTS） and elongation increase simultaneously with increasing RU passes. The microstructural evolution is affected by processing temperatures. Dynamic recrystallization prevails at low temperatures, while dynamic recovery is the main effect factor at high temperatures. Texture characteristics gradually become random during multiple passes of RU processing, which reduces the tension-compression asymmetry of the Mg-Gd-Y-Zr alloy. 2018 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of The editorial office of Journal of Materials Science ＆ Technology.展开更多

Experimental results indicatedthat with the number of upsetting extrusion passes increasing, the grains of the alloy are graduallyrefined and the hardness increases correspondingly. After ten passes of upsetting extrusionprocessing, the grain size decreases to less than 200 nm in diameter and the sample maintains itsoriginal shape, while the hardness is double owing to equal-axial ultrafine grains and workhardening effect caused by large plastic deformation.展开更多

The approach is a combination of RKPM with the flow theory of 3D rigid-plastic mechanics. For the treatments of essential boundary conditions and incompressibility constraint, the boundary singular kernel method and the modified penalty method are utilized, respectively. The arc-tangential friction model is employed to treat the contact conditions. The compression of rectangular blocks, a typical 3D upsetting operation, is analyzed for different friction conditions and the numerical results are compared with those obtained using commercial rigid-plastic FEM （finite element method） software Deform^3D. As results show, when handling 3D plastic deformations, the proposed approach eliminates the need of expensive meshing and remeshing procedures which are unavoidable in conventional FEM and can provide results that are in good agreement with finite element predictions.展开更多

Powder preforms of 86 % of theoretical density, with two different ratios of height to diameter, were prepared using a suitable die set assembly on a 1.0 MN capacity hydraulic testing machine. Sintering was carried out in an electric muffle furnace for 1.5 h at 1 150 ℃. Each sintered compact was subjected to incremental loading of 0.04 MN under dry friction condition till a crack appeared at the free surfaces. The experimental results were critically analysed, the stress as a function of strain and densification was obtained, then the work hardening behaviour was analyzed. It has been found that in the process of enhancing densification, strength and strain hardening is also induced during upsetting, but the work hardening behaviour is not homogenously enhanced against strain and densification.展开更多

As the width of deformation field increases, both the variation of wall thickness and the derivative of wall thickness variation to width of deformation field (to/tf) reduce.展开更多

The results showed that the optimum comprehensive mechanical properties of die-upset Nd-Fe-B magnets were obtained at the deformation temperature of 680 ℃. The anisotropy of Vickers hardness was more obvious at the die-upset level of 55%, and the Vickers hardness measured parallel to the c-axis was significantly lower than that perpendicular to the c-axis. The fracture toughness measured parallel to the c-axis first increased, and then decreased with increase in die-upset level. The maximum fracture toughness of Nd-Fe-B magnets was obtained at the die-upset level of 60%. The microstmcture showed that the width of defect layers and the average size of large grains increased, and the layered structure of die-upset Nd-Fe-B magnets was obviously different with increase in the die-upset level.展开更多

The results showed that the optimum magnetic properties of die-upset Nd-Fe-B magnets were obtained at 680 ℃ when the die-upset level was 60%, and the degree of magnetic alignment was 0.84. The microstructures showed that the coarse grains oc-curred predominantly within certain areas, and abnormal grain growth was not observed within the major areas of well-aligned grains. There existed many small spherical grains, which stacked together and were not aligned during die upsetting when the deformation temperature was 650 ℃. These small spherical grains grew up, and were aligned when the deformation temperature increased from 650 to 680 ℃, which could improve the crystallographic alignment of die-upset Nd-Fe-B magnets.展开更多

Results show that during RU processing, the initial large Mg;Al;particles in the as-cast specimen accelerate the dynamic recrystallization（DRX） due to the particle stimulating nucleation（PSN） mechanism. With the progress of RU,the inherent large strain breaks the large second phases into small fragments, which indicates the PSN gradually disappears, while the pinning effect becomes obvious. As for the homogenized specimen, a pre-heat treatment leads to the absence of Mg;Al;particles but a uniform distribution of Al atoms in the Mg alloy. Though the subsequent RU promotes the precipitation of Mg;Al;particles, the relatively small particle size and the uniform distribution are more favorable to act as obstacles for grain growth than contributors to PSN. Finally, a more homogeneous and refined microstructure is obtained in the specimen with prior homogenization than the as-cast one.展开更多

It i...The evolution of the microstructure and texture in copper has been studied during repetitive extrusionupsetting（REU） to a total von Mises strain of 4.7 and during subsequent annealing at different temperatures. It is found that the texture is significantly altered by each deformation pass. A duplex 001 ＋ 111 fiber texture with an increased 111 component is observed after each extrusion pass,whereas the 110 fiber component dominates the texture after each upsetting pass. During REU, the microstructure is refined by deformation-induced boundaries. The average cell size after a total strain of 4.7 is measured to be ~0.3 μm. This refined microstructure is unstable at room temperature as is evident from the presence of a small number of recrystallized grains in the deformed matrix. Pronounced recrystallization took place during annealing at 200？C for 1 h with recrystallized grains developing predominantly in high misorientation regions. At 350？C the microstructure is fully recrystallized with an average grain size of only 2.3 μm and a very weak crystallographic texture. This REU-processed and subsequently annealed material is considered to be potentially suitable for using as a material for sputtering targets.展开更多

The results show that the whole forming process consists of a forward extrusion and a backward extrusion. When the friction factor of the female die is 0.4, it is advantageous to the forward extrusion forming of the electrode work nose part, while the friction factor of the male die is only 0.1, it would be benefit to the backward extrusion forming of the electrode fit-up hole part. Addition of a scoop channel with 1.5 mm in depth and 4 mm in diameter at the bottom of the female die can avoid folds at the work nose. The rise in temperature is about 60 ℃ during the forming process.展开更多

When the friction factor of the female die is 0.4, it is advantageous to the forward extrusion forming of the electrode work nose part, while the friction factor of the male die is only 0.1, it would be benefit to the backward extrusion forming of the electrode fit-up hole part. Addition of a scoop channel with 1.5 mm in depth and 4 mm in diameter at the bottom of the female die can avoid folds at the work nose. The rise in temperature is about 60 ℃ during the forming process.

文摘This paper explores the impact of back-gate bias (V_(soi)) and supply voltage (V_(DD)) on the single-event upset (SEU) cross section of 0.18μm configurable silicon-on-insulator static random-access memory (SRAM) under high linear energy transfer heavyion experimentation.The experimental findings demonstrate that applying a negative back-gate bias to NMOS and a positive back-gate bias to PMOS enhances the SEU resistance of SRAM.Specifically,as the back-gate bias for N-type transistors(V_(nsoi)) decreases from 0 to-10 V,the SEU cross section decreases by 93.23%,whereas an increase in the back-gate bias for P-type transistors (V_(psoi)) from 0 to 10 V correlates with an 83.7%reduction in SEU cross section.Furthermore,a significant increase in the SEU cross section was observed with increase in supply voltage,as evidenced by a 159%surge at V_(DD)=1.98 V compared with the nominal voltage of 1.8 V.To explore the physical mechanisms underlying these experimental data,we analyzed the dependence of the critical charge of the circuit and the collected charge on the bias voltage by simulating SEUs using technology computer-aided design.
文摘We study the problem of multiple node upset （MNU） using three-dimensional device simulation. The results show the transient floating node and charge lateral diffusion are the key reasons for MNU. We compare the MNU with multiple bit upset （MBU）,and find that their characteristics are different. Methods to avoid MNU are also discussed.
