The quite weak mechanical properties anisotropy was obtained in the alloy sheet through thermomechanical processing optimizing. The highly elongated microstmcture is the main structure for the hot or cold-rolled alloy sheets. H {001 } （110） and E { 111 } （110） are the main texture components in the surface layer of hot-rolled sheet, while ]/-fibre is dominant in quarter and center layers. Compared with the hot-rolled sheet, the intensities offl-fibre components are higher after the first cold rolling, but H {001 }（110） component in the surface layer decreases greatly. Almost no deformation texatre can be observed after intermediate annealing. And fl-fibre becomes the main texture again after the final cold rolling. With the reduction of the thickness, the through-thickness texture gradients become much weaker. The through-thickness recrystallization texture in the solution treated sample only has cubeyD {001 }（310） component. The relationship among thermomechanical processing, microstructure, texture and mechanical orouerties was analyzed.展开更多

Severe strain was imposed into the surface layer and strain gradient was formed through the thickness of the sheet. The microstructure and texture in as-strained state were investigated by optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction technique On the surface of the sheets, ultra-fine grains were found to have a sharp texture with a preferred orientation strongly related to the FRSP direction. The evolution of microstructure and crystallographic texture of FRSPed samples during recrystallization were also studied by electron back-scattered diffraction （EBSD） technique after being annealed at selected temperatures and time. The results indicated that the preferred orientations resulting from FRSP and annealing in the surface layer were formed during rolling and its recrystallization textures were reduced by FRSP. In addition, the texture evolved stably without change in main components during the annealing.展开更多

文摘Dynamic melt modification of polyethylene via the direct grafting of peroxide fragments shows promise for the development of processable functionalized materials.In this study,four linear low-density polyethylenes(LLDPEs)with comparable molecular weights but different short-chain branch(SCB)contents(ranging of 5-66 per 1000 carbon atoms)were modified via dynamic melt mixing using 2 wt% benzoyl peroxide at 145℃ and 50 r/min for 30 min.The influence of SCB content on the processability and structure of the resulting products was systematically investigated.All modified products exhibited good melt processability with melt flow rates(MFR)ranging from 0.46 g/10min to 1.07 g/10min.Products derived from low-SCB LLDPEs showed a lower MFR,higher cross-linking content,a larger number of long-chain branches,and a higher degree of benzoyl grafting.In contrast,those produced from high-SCB LLDPEs exhibited improved processability,reduced cross-linking,fewer long-chain branches,and lower benzoyl grafting levels.A detailed structural investigation of the soluble and insoluble fractions,which were separated using trichlorobenzene fractionation,was conducted to analyze the structural features of various modified products and demonstrate that the SCB content(i.e.,tertiary carbon density)significantly influences radical coupling during dynamic modification.Elevated tertiary carbon density,by introducing greater steric hindrance,suppresses radical coupling during dynamic modification,thereby reducing the efficiency of both crosslinking and peroxide fragment grafting.These findings provide new insights into the structure-reactivity relationships in peroxide-induced polyethylene modification and lay the foundation for tailoring material properties via dynamic processing.

文摘This study investigated the effects of periodic high-frequency stress disturbances on the creep behavior of sandstone and analyzed the microstructural changes using nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)technology.High-frequency disturbance creep experiments were conducted on sandstone under different disturbance frequencies,disturbance cycles and loading stresses,and the following findings were obtained.Firstly,with the increase of loading stress and disturbance cycles,the total porosity increments,and damage value of sandstone increase,while the fractal dimension of sandstone pore structure presents the opposite trend.Secondly,during the disturbance creep process,the volumes of all three types of pores increase,but the proportion of micropores(T_(2)<10 ms)decreases,while the proportion of mesopores(10 ms<T_(2)<100 ms)and macropores(T_(2)>100 ms)increases.Thirdly,the fractal dimension difference has a good linear relationship with the damage,strain and porosity increment of sandstone during the disturbance creep process.Finally,the higher the disturbance frequency,the smaller the creep strain and creep strain rate during the steady-state creep stage.The study offers valuable theoretical insights for understanding rock creep behavior in complex stress environments.

文摘Interlayer friction stir processing(FSP)has been proved to be an efective method of enhancing the mechanical properties of wire arc-directed energy deposited(WA-DED)samples.However,the original deposition structure was still retained in the FSP-WA-DED component besides the processed zone(PZ),thus forming a composite structure.Considering the material utilization and practical service process of the deposited component,more attention should be paid on this special composite structure,but the relevant investigation has not been carried out.In this study,an Al–Mg–Sc alloy was prepared by WA-DED with interlayer FSP treatment,and the composite structure was frstly investigated.Almost all of the pores were eliminated under the pressure efect from the tool shoulder.The grains were further refned with an average size of about 1.2μm in the PZ.Though no severe plastic deformation was involved in the retained WA-DED deposition zone,comparable tensile properties with the PZ sample were obtained in the composite structure.Low ultimate tensile strength(UTS)of 289 MPa and elongation of 3.2%were achieved in the WA-DED sample.After interlayer FSP treatment,the UTS and elongation of the PZ samples were signifcantly increased to 443 MPa and 16.3%,while those in the composite structure remained at relatively high levels of 410 MPa and 13.5%,respectively.Meanwhile,a high fatigue strength of 180 and 130 MPa was obtained in the PZ and composite structure samples,which was clearly higher than that of the WA-DED sample(100 MPa).It is concluded that the defects in traditional WA-DED process can be eliminated in the composite structure after interlayer FSP treatment,resulting in enhanced tensile and fatigue properties,which provides an efective method of improving the mechanical properties of the WA-DED sample.

文摘Thin walls of an AZ91 magnesium alloy with fine equiaxed grains were fabricated via cold arc-based wire arc additive manufacturing(CA-WAAM),and the droplet transfer behaviours,microstructures,and mechanical properties were investigated.The results showed that the cold arc process reduced splashing at the moment of liquid bridge breakage and effectively shortened the droplet transfer period.The microstructures of the deposited samples exhibited layered characteristics with alternating distributions of coarse and fine grains.During layer-by-layer deposition,the β-phase precipitated and grew preferentially along grain boundaries,while the fineη-Al_(8)Mn_(5)phase was dispersed in the α-Mg matrix.The mechanical properties of the CA-WAAM deposited sample showed isotropic characteristics.The ultimate tensile strength and elongation in the building direction(BD)were 282.7 MPa and 14.2%,respectively.The microhardness values of the deposited parts were relatively uniform,with an average value of HV 69.6.
文摘Structural Health Monitoring(SHM)systems play a key role in managing buildings and infrastructure by delivering vital insights into their strength and structural integrity.There is a need for more efficient techniques to detect defects,as traditional methods are often prone to human error,and this issue is also addressed through image processing(IP).In addition to IP,automated,accurate,and real-time detection of structural defects,such as cracks,corrosion,and material degradation that conventional inspection techniques may miss,is made possible by Artificial Intelligence(AI)technologies like Machine Learning(ML)and Deep Learning(DL).This review examines the integration of computer vision and AI techniques in Structural Health Monitoring(SHM),investigating their effectiveness in detecting various forms of structural deterioration.Also,it evaluates ML and DL models in SHM for their accuracy in identifying and assessing structural damage,ultimately enhancing safety,durability,and maintenance practices in the field.Key findings reveal that AI-powered approaches,especially those utilizing IP and DL models like CNNs,significantly improve detection efficiency and accuracy,with reported accuracies in various SHM tasks.However,significant research gaps remain,including challenges with the consistency,quality,and environmental resilience of image data,a notable lack of standardized models and datasets for training across diverse structures,and concerns regarding computational costs,model interpretability,and seamless integration with existing systems.Future work should focus on developing more robust models through data augmentation,transfer learning,and hybrid approaches,standardizing protocols,and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration to overcome these limitations and achieve more reliable,scalable,and affordable SHM systems.

文摘Digital light processing(DLP)is widely used in ceramic additive manufacturing.However,it remains unexplored for metals.In this study,the regulatory mechanisms of the microstructure and mechanical properties of AISI 316L stainless steel were investigated by optimizing a DLP-compatible metal slurry formulation and sintering process.A photosensitive resin system(mass ratio of 5:1:2:2 for U600,LA,ACMO,and HDDA,respectively)with 88 wt%solid content is designed to achieve a slurry with balanced rheology,photocurability,and low pyrolysis residue.Compared to vacuum sintering,which leads to brittle fracture of material,the Ar/H2 mixed gas(5%H2)effectively reduces carbon and oxygen impurities via reduction,mitigating carbide and oxide segregation at grain boundaries and within grains,thereby enhancing strength-ductility.In addition,the prolonged high-temperature sintering inducesδ-ferrite precipitation at grain boundaries,which fills residual pores to improve densification obviously.Under optimized sintering conditions(Ar/H2,1380°C,6 h),the material achieves 96.2%relative density with tensile strength and fracture elongation of 543.5 MPa and 58.7%,respectively,exhibiting uniform dimple-dominated fracture morphology.This synergistic optimization of the slurry formulation and sintering parameters improves the strength-ductility balance in DLP-fabricated metal materials,offering theoretical and technical insights for the additive manufacturing of complex high-performance metal components.

文摘The increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters,exacerbated by global warming,necessitate novel solutions to strengthen the resilience of Critical Infrastructure Systems(CISs).Recent research reveals the sig-nificant potential of natural language processing(NLP)to analyze unstructured human language during disasters,thereby facilitating the uncovering of disruptions and providing situational awareness supporting various aspects of resilience regarding CISs.Despite this potential,few studies have systematically mapped the global research on NLP applications with respect to supporting various aspects of resilience of CISs.This paper contributes to the body of knowledge by presenting a review of current knowledge using the scientometric review technique.Using 231 bibliographic records from the Scopus and Web of Science core collections,we identify five key research areas where researchers have used NLP to support the resilience of CISs during natural disasters,including sentiment analysis,crisis informatics,data and knowledge visualization,disaster impacts,and content analysis.Furthermore,we map the utility of NLP in the identified research focus with respect to four aspects of resilience(i.e.,preparedness,absorption,recovery,and adaptability)and present various common techniques used and potential future research directions.This review highlights that NLP has the potential to become a supplementary data source to support the resilience of CISs.The results of this study serve as an introductory-level guide designed to help scholars and practitioners unlock the potential of NLP for strengthening the resilience of CISs against natural disasters.

文摘This study systematically investigates the hot deformation behavior and microstructural evolution of CoNiV medium-entropy alloy(MEA)in the temperature range of 950-1100℃ and strain rates of 0.001-1 s^(-1).The Arrhenius model and machine learning model were developed to forecast flow stresses at various conditions.The predictive capability of both models was assessed using the coefficients of determination(R^(2)),average absolute relative error(AARE),and root mean square error(RMSE).The findings show that the osprey optimization algorithm convolutional neural network(OOA-CNN)model outperforms the Arrhenius model,achieving a high R^(2) value of 0.99959 and lower AARE and RMSE values.The flow stress that the OOA-CNN model predicted was used to generate power dissipation maps and instability maps under different strains.Finally,combining the processing map and microstructure characterization,the ideal processing domain was identified as 1100℃ at strain rates of 0.01-0.1 s^(-1).This study provided key insights into optimizing the hot working process of CoNiV MEA.

文摘The hot deformation behavior of GH3230 superalloy under selected deformation conditions ranging from 950 to 1150℃with strain rates ranging from 0.01 to 10 s^(–1)was studied through isothermal hot compression experiments.Based on the obtained flow stresses,a strain-compensated Arrhenius-type model was developed for the description of hot deformation behavior,and the consistency of the predicted flow stresses with the experimental values confirms the accuracy of the developed model.Furthermore,the processing maps were constructed and classified into the instability domain,low-dissipation stability domain and high-dissipation stability domain in accordance with the dynamic material model and the instability criterion.Microstructure observations indicated that the instability domain exhibits the adiabatic shear bands formation,and the low-power dissipation domain exhibits partial dynamic recrystallization(DRX),with the temperature increase/strain rate decrease being favorable for the DRX.The high-dissipation stability domain was occupied by uniformly fine equiaxed grains,and was identified as the optimal processing window,which corresponds to the deformation conditions at 1070–1150℃ with strain rates ranging from 0.01 to 0.15 s^(–1).Moreover,various DRX mechanisms are observed to occur during the hot deformation,which include the discontinuous dynamic recrystallization,characterized by nucleation at bulged boundaries,the continuous dynamic recrystallization with subgrain progressive rotation and the particle stimulated nucleation mechanism with stimulated nucleation of carbide particles.

文摘Notable advancements have been made in the additive manufacturing(AM)of aerospace materials,driven by the needs for integrated components with intricate geometries and small-lot production of high-value components.Nickel-based superalloys,pivotal materials for high-temperature bearing components in aeroengines,present significant challenges in the fabrication of complex parts due to their great hardness.Huge attention and rapid progress have been garnered in AM processing of nicklebased superalloys,largely owing to its distinct benefits in the freedom of fabrication and reduced manufacturing lifecycle.Despite extensive research into AM in nickel-based superalloys,the corresponding results and conclusions are scattered attributed to the variety of nickel-based superalloys and complex AM processing parameters.Therefore,there is still a pressing need for a comprehensive and deep understanding of the relationship between the AM processing and microstructures and mechanical performance of nickel-based superalloys.This review introduces the processing characteristics of four primary AM technologies utilized for superalloys and summarizes the microstructures and mechanical properties prior to and post-heat treatments.Additionally,this review presents innovative superalloys specifically accommodated to AM processing and offers insights into the material development and performance improvement,aiming to provide a valuable assessment on AM processing of nickel-based superalloys and an effective guidance for the future research.

文摘The microstructure development of 55VNb1 microalloyed steel after warm deformation via multi-pass biaxial compression tests was studied,and the effect of thermomechanical conditions on spheroidisation of cementite lamellae and ferrite recrystallisation for a range of deformation temperatures(600–700℃),cooling/soaking time(water quenching,air cooling,10 and 30 min of soaking time)and interpass time(0–10 s)was analysed.During deformation,the spheroidisation of pearlite is dynamically accelerated mainly by boundary splitting mechanism together with the rapid dissolution of cementite,while ferrite softening is attributed to dynamic recovery and continuous dynamic recrystallisation.The strong microstructural evolution during cooling/soaking time indicates that deformation energy accumulated is sufficient to activate metallurgical phenomena in both phases also statically.Static spheroidisation is a diffusive process,with rate controlled by the diffusion of vacancies,as suggested by the estimated activation energy.Ferrite refinement is the result of the evolution of continuous recrystallisation and pinning effect exerted by fine,globulised and homogeneously dispersed cementite particles.Increasing temperature causes accelerated kinetics in metallurgical phenomena;therefore,cooling/soaking time becomes key parameters to achieve ultrafine grained and spheroidised microstructures.Interpass time favours spheroidisation and promotes continuous recrystallisation;however,it must be carefully controlled to find a balance between recrystallisation and Ostwald ripening to optimise microstructural development.

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Hot compression experiments were conducted under conditions of deformation temperatures ranging from 950 to 1150℃,strain rates of 0.001-10 s^(-1),and deformation degrees ranging from 20%to 80%.The hot deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of millimeter-grade coarse grains(MCGs)in the as-cast Ti-6Cr-5Mo-5V-4Al(Ti-6554)alloy were studied,and a hot processing map was established.Under compression along the rolling direction(RD),continuous dynamic recrystallization(CDRX)ensues due to the progressive rotation of subgrains within the MCGs.Along the transverse direction(TD),discontinuous dynamic recrystallization(DDRX)resulting from grain boundary bulging or bridging,occurs on the boundaries of the MCGs.With decreasing strain rate,increasing temperature,and higher deformation degree,dynamic recrystallization becomes more pronounced,resulting in a reduction in the original average grain size.The optimal processing parameters fall within a temperature range of 1050-1150℃,a strain rate of 0.01 s^(-1),and a deformation degree between 40%and 60%.

文摘The initial microstructure of titanium alloy in theα+βphase region is pivotal in dictating the performance of the final products after thermomechanical processing.Microstructures and textures of three rods,each prepared through distinct pretreatments,were systematically analyzed.Morphological analysis reveals that while both thickαplatelets and coarse priorβgrains impede the spheroidization of lamellar structures,the influence of the former is more pronounced.Variations inαplatelet thickness priorβgrain size exhibit limited impact on the macro-texture type after deformation and annealing.The proportion of low-angle interfaces between the c-axis of the primaryαphase and the<110>direction of the priorβgrains was elevated in rods with thicker platelets compared to thinner ones.

文摘The inherent trade-off between ductility and strength in Mg alloys remains a significant challenge,primarily governed by microstructural distribution and texture characteristics.Friction stir processing(FSP),a severe plastic deformation(SPD)technique,refines microstructures by generating fine grains,uniformly dispersed fragmented particles,and a high fraction of high-angle grain boundaries(HAGBs),thereby facilitating superplastic forming at high strain rates and low temperatures.In the present work,a dual eccentric-pin tool(DEPT)FSP was employed to incorporate ZrO_(2) particles into a 6 mm thick AZ91D Mg alloy,leading to the formation of high volume{10-12}twins,dislocations,and β-Mg_(17)Al_(12) precipitates within the stirred zone.The microstructural evolution and mechanical behaviour of the stir zone under various process parameters were analysed using scanning electron microscopy(SEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD),and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).The DEPT enhanced plastic shearing and dynamic recrystallization,significantly reducing the grain size from 15.6μm to 2.35μm while promoting uniform dislocation distribution within the stir zone(SZ).Grain orientation analysis revealed a transition from basal to prismatic texture dominance(29.3% volume fraction)due to intensified radial-tangential coupling shear deformation,facilitating the activation of non-basal slip systems.The DEPT evidently improved the hardness of the SZ from 58 to 92 HV and increased tensile strength from 234 MPa to 325 MPa while maintaining an elongation of 23.8%,achieving an optimal strengthductility balance.This work presents a one-step approach for tailoring microstructural heterogeneity and enhancing mechanical properties in AZ91D/ZrO_(2) composites using the DEPT FSP technique.The method provides an effective strategy for mitigating the strength-ductility trade-off commonly observed in Mg alloys.

文摘Influence of thermomechanical processing on the microstructure, texture evolution and mechanical properties of A1-Mg-Si-Cu alloy sheets was studied systematically. The quite weak mechanical properties anisotropy was obtained in the alloy sheet through thermomechanical processing optimizing. The highly elongated microstmcture is the main structure for the hot or cold-rolled alloy sheets. H {001 } （110） and E { 111 } （110） are the main texture components in the surface layer of hot-rolled sheet, while ]/-fibre is dominant in quarter and center layers. Compared with the hot-rolled sheet, the intensities offl-fibre components are higher after the first cold rolling, but H {001 }（110） component in the surface layer decreases greatly. Almost no deformation texatre can be observed after intermediate annealing. And fl-fibre becomes the main texture again after the final cold rolling. With the reduction of the thickness, the through-thickness texture gradients become much weaker. The through-thickness recrystallization texture in the solution treated sample only has cubeyD {001 }（310） component. The relationship among thermomechanical processing, microstructure, texture and mechanical orouerties was analyzed.

文摘Commercial purity and high purity titanium sheets were initially strained by a new technique, named as friction roll surface processing （FRSP）. Severe strain was imposed into the surface layer and strain gradient was formed through the thickness of the sheet. The microstructure and texture in as-strained state were investigated by optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction technique On the surface of the sheets, ultra-fine grains were found to have a sharp texture with a preferred orientation strongly related to the FRSP direction. The evolution of microstructure and crystallographic texture of FRSPed samples during recrystallization were also studied by electron back-scattered diffraction （EBSD） technique after being annealed at selected temperatures and time. The results indicated that the preferred orientations resulting from FRSP and annealing in the surface layer were formed during rolling and its recrystallization textures were reduced by FRSP. In addition, the texture evolved stably without change in main components during the annealing.

文摘To investigate the influence of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy with as-homogenized and as-rolled initial microstructures on the tensile flow behavior,isothermal tensile tests were conducted on a GLEEBLE-3500 isothermal simulator at temperatures of 380-440℃and strain rates of 0.05-1 s^(−1).The Johnson-Cook model,Hensel-Spittel model,strain-compensated Arrhenius model,and critical fracture strain model were established.Results show that through the evaluation of the models using the correlation coefficient(R)and the average absolute relative error,the strain-compensated Arrhenius model can represent the flow behavior of the alloy more accurately.Shear bands are more pronounced in the as-homogenized specimens,whereas dynamic recrystallization is predominantly observed in as-rolled specimens.Fracture morphology analysis reveals that a mixed fracture mechanism is prevalent in the as-homogenized specimen,whereas a ductile fracture mechanism is predominant in the as-rolled specimen.The processing maps indicate that the unstable region is reduced in the as-rolled specimens compared with that in the as-homogenized specimens.The optimal hot working windows for the as-homogenized and as-rolled specimens are determined as 410-440℃/0.14-1 s^(−1)and 380-400℃/0.05-0.29 s^(−1),respectively.
