The effect of Ti-Al content on interfacial microstructure and mechanical properties of the joints was investigated. Localized melt of the substrates occurred in the joints. γ-Ni0.35Al0.30Ti0.35, NiA l3 and Ni2Al3 reaction layers formed adjacent to the substrates. Joint flaws, such as pores and cracks, made the joint density decrease and worked as the fracture source, which led to the sharp decline of joint strength. Additive Ti-Al increased joint density and strengthened the interlayer adhesion to Cf/Al. The joint flaws could be controlled by changing the Ti-Al content. When the Ti-Al content was 0.1, the joint was free of cracks with high density and reached the maximum shear strength of 24.12 MPa.展开更多

The highest adiabatic combustion temperature Tadof 2,467.45 K indicates that the2Ti–0Cr–Al–C is the highest exothermic reaction system in the Ti–Cr–Al–C system. The adiabatic combustion temperature decreases with the increase of the Cr content. And a higher exothermal reaction would result in higher porosity which is induced by the high temperature and pressure of C reducing atmosphere and Al vapor. Combustion characterization of the products shows that the geometrical alternating layers result in the high exothermal reaction and flame-front propagating velocity. The higher the Tadis, the thinner the layer is. To demonstrate the process of the microscopic characterization and show the detailed combustion process closed to the experimental observations, the flame-front propagating velocity and temperature distribution were simulated numerically.展开更多

The microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites were investigated. The X-ray diffraction （XRD） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM） results showed that the final products were only TiC, TiB2 and Cu phases. The clubbed TiB2 grains and spheroidal or irregular TiC grains were found in the microstructure of synthesized products. The reaction temperature and grain size of TiB2 and TiC particles decreased with increasing Cu content. The introduction of Cu into the composites resulted in a drastic increase in the relative density and flexual strength, and the maximum values were obtained with the addition of 20 wt pct, while the fracture toughness was the best when Cu content was 40 wt pct.展开更多

The sintering behavior was studied at different sintering temperatures and additive contents. The change of phase compositions, secondary phase distributions and grain morphologies during sintering process were investigated. It is shown that fully dense ceramics using AIN powder prepared by SHS method can be obtained when the sintering temperature is above 1830 ℃. Both Y2O3content and sintering temperature have an important influence on the formation of Y-Al-O phase and grain shape. When Y2O3content is identified, the grain morphology converts from polyhedron into sphere-like shape with the rise of sintering temperature. At a certain sintering temperature,the grain size decreases with the increase in Y2O3content. The influencing mechanisms of different YAl-O secondary phases and sintering temperatures on the grain size and morphology were also discussed based on the experimental results.展开更多

MoSi2 and MoSi2 matrix composites were prepared by self-propagating high temperature synthesis （SHS）. Pure MoSi2 was obtained and a compound of MoSi2 and WSi2was synthesized in the form of predominant solid solution （Mo,W）Si2. By adding aluminum of 5.5 at.% to Mo-Si, the crystal structure of MoSi2 changed into a mixture of tetragonal Cllb MoSi2and hexagonal C40 Mo（Si,Al）2. The （Mo,W）Si2-Mo（Si,Al）2-W（Si,Al）2 composite materials were synthesized by adding aluminum of 5.5 at.% to Mo-W-Si. However, if the amount of the added aluminum was not larger than 2.5 at.%, it did not have any significant effect.

Microstructural evolution in the quenched sample was observed using scanning electron microscope （SEM） with energy dispersive X-ray （EDX） spectrometry, and the combustion temperature was measured. The results showed that the combustion reaction started with local formation of Ti-Cu melt and could be described with the dissolution-precipitation mechanism, namely, Ti, Cu, and C particles dissolved into the Ti-Cu solution and TiC particles precipitated in the saturated Ti-Cu-C liquid solution. The local formation of Ti-Cu melt resulted from the solid diffusion between Ti and Cu particles.展开更多

The experimental results show that the interfacial between TiB2 and Fe was smooth and clear, and the composite bending strength increased with the addition of Fe, however, the hardness decreased accordingly. The thermodynamics of the composites preparation process was calculated. The calculation results show that the primary chemical reaction was the reaction between Ti and B. The extra B can react with Fe, producing the brittle phase Fe2 B. By increasing Ti, the production of Fe2B will decrease and a few of Ti-Fe intermetallic compound will be produced by the reaction between Ti and Fe in the composites. Finally, according to the Merzhanov condition of the adiabatic system, it is concluded that the Fe content must be selected between 16.3% and 54.3% by the thermodynamics temperature of reaction calculation.展开更多

The reaction mechanism was investigated by differential thermal analysis and quenching experiment. The results show that the whole magnesio-thermic reduction process includes three stages： first, molten B2O3 and Mg formed above the temperature of 650 ℃, and glassy B2O3 and solid ZrO2 particles were coated on the surface of the molten Mg; thus, the hollow balls can be formed when the molten Mg was exuded under capillary function. Second, ZrO2 particles reacted with molten Mg to form Zr and MgO with dissolution-precip-itation mechanism, which released a large amount of heat to induce the diffusion reaction between B203 and Mg to form B and MgO. Last, Zr reacted with B to form ZrB2 grains. The preparation of ZrB2 by self-propagating syn-thesis in Mg-B2O3-ZrO2 system is a solid-liquid-liquid reaction.展开更多

The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD） analysis, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, N2 adsorption and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra （DRS）. The photocatalytic activity of MTiO3 （M = Sr, Pb, Co） was evaluated by the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange （MO）. MTiO3 （M = Sr, Pb, Co） having the same core element showed distinctly different photocatalytic activity due to the different coordinating atoms. Factors affecting the photocatalytic activity of MTiO3 （M = Sr, Pb, Co） were discussed. It was suggested that the structures of TiO6 octahedra and the electronic property were the predominant factors of the photocatalytic behavior for MTiO3 （M = Sr, Pb, Co）.展开更多

The TiC–TiB2 in NiAl matrix, with contents from 10 to 30 wt%, emerged with the use of two methods： in situ formed and externally added. The results show that all final products are composed of three phases of NiAl, TiC, and TiB2. The microstructures of NiAl–TiC–TiB2 composites with in situ-formed TiC and TiB2 are fine, and all the three phases are distributed uniformly. The grains of NiAl matrix in the composites have been greatly refined, and the micro-hardness of NiAl increases from 381 HV100 to 779 HV100. However, the microstructures of NiAl–TiC–TiB2 composites with externally added TiC and TiB2 are coarse and inhomogeneous, with severe agglomeration of TiC and TiB2 particles. The samples containing externally added 30 wt% TiC–TiB2attain the micro-hardness of 485 HV100. The microstructure evolution and fracture mode of the two kinds of NiAl–TiC–TiB2 composites are different.展开更多

In addition, the combustion temperature of the reaction was measured, and the phase constituent of the synthesized product was inspected by X-ray diffraction （XRD）. The results showed that the combustion reaction started from melting of the Al particles, and the melting resulted in dissolving of the Ti particles and forming of Al3Ti grains. As the Al liquid was depleted, the combustion reaction proceeded through solid-state diffusion between the solid Al3Ti and the solid Ti. This led to the forming of TiAl and Ti3Al diffusing layers. In addition, the combustion reaction is incomplete besides TiAl, there are a large amount of Ti3Al and TiAl3 and a small amount of Ti in the final product. This incompleteness chiefly results from the using of coarser Ti powder.展开更多

The effects of the inner oxidant on combustion temperature, combustion velocity, microstructure and the phase of the product were investigated by XRD and SEM,respectively. The results show that a highly ferritized powder can be obtained as well as the highest combustion temperature and the highest combustion velocity when the inner oxidant content m equals 54(k-16).

文摘Based on the experimental analysis and theoretical calculation, the self-propagating high temperature synthesis of TiB2/Fe composite was studied. The experimental results show that the interfacial between TiB2 and Fe was smooth and clear, and the composite bending strength increased with the addition of Fe, however, the hardness decreased accordingly. The thermodynamics of the composites preparation process was calculated. The calculation results show that the primary chemical reaction was the reaction between Ti and B. The extra B can react with Fe, producing the brittle phase Fe2 B. By increasing Ti, the production of Fe2B will decrease and a few of Ti-Fe intermetallic compound will be produced by the reaction between Ti and Fe in the composites. Finally, according to the Merzhanov condition of the adiabatic system, it is concluded that the Fe content must be selected between 16.3% and 54.3% by the thermodynamics temperature of reaction calculation.

文摘Fine zirconium diboride （ZrB2） powders with high purity were successfully prepared by combustion synthesis through magnesiothermic reduction process in Mg-B2O3-ZrO2 system. The reaction mechanism was investigated by differential thermal analysis and quenching experiment. The results show that the whole magnesio-thermic reduction process includes three stages： first, molten B2O3 and Mg formed above the temperature of 650 ℃, and glassy B2O3 and solid ZrO2 particles were coated on the surface of the molten Mg; thus, the hollow balls can be formed when the molten Mg was exuded under capillary function. Second, ZrO2 particles reacted with molten Mg to form Zr and MgO with dissolution-precip-itation mechanism, which released a large amount of heat to induce the diffusion reaction between B203 and Mg to form B and MgO. Last, Zr reacted with B to form ZrB2 grains. The preparation of ZrB2 by self-propagating syn-thesis in Mg-B2O3-ZrO2 system is a solid-liquid-liquid reaction.
文摘Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis(SHS)was used to fabricate a Fe(Cr)–Al2O3 nanocomposite.The composite was fabricated by the reactions between the powders of Fe,Fe2O3,Cr2O3,and Al.The effect of blending ratio and mechanical activation of the initial powders and the precursor compressing pressure on the microstructure of the final product was studied by optical microscopy,scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,and X-ray diffraction.The significance of the effect of each of the aforementioned parameters on the quality of the composite(assessed by measuring the compressive strength and wear resistance)was determined using a full-factorial design of experiments method.The results showed that the best molar powder ratio that produced the most homogeneous product through a sustainable SHS reaction was Fe:Fe2O3:Cr2O3:Al=10:1:1:4.A lower Fe content caused the Fe(Cr)phase to melt and separate from the rest of the materials.

文摘Nanocrystalline MTiO3 （M = St, Pb, Co） were prepared by a general self-pro- pagating combustion method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD） analysis, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, N2 adsorption and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra （DRS）. The photocatalytic activity of MTiO3 （M = Sr, Pb, Co） was evaluated by the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange （MO）. MTiO3 （M = Sr, Pb, Co） having the same core element showed distinctly different photocatalytic activity due to the different coordinating atoms. Factors affecting the photocatalytic activity of MTiO3 （M = Sr, Pb, Co） were discussed. It was suggested that the structures of TiO6 octahedra and the electronic property were the predominant factors of the photocatalytic behavior for MTiO3 （M = Sr, Pb, Co）.
文摘ZrB2 ceramics were prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis（SHS） and were sintered by hot pressing（HP）.The effects of the granularities and doses of raw materials in Zr-B2O3-Mgon SHS process and product were investigated.XRD and combustion temperature curves prove that the ideal SHS reactants of Zr-B2O3-Mg are 50μm Zr powder,75μm B2O3 powder and 400μm Mg powder with 45% excessive.The particle sizes of SHS product,acid-leached product,sintered product are 2-5μm,0.5-2μm,2-10μm respectively.Chemical analysis indicates that the acid-leached product consists of ZrB2（94.59%）,ZrO2（3.87%）,and H3BO3（1.54%）,The sintered product has a relative density of 95.4%.

文摘The NiAl–TiC–TiB2 composites were processed by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis（SHS） method using raw powders of Ni, Al, Ti, B4 C, TiC, and TiB2, and their microstructure and micro-hardness were investigated. The TiC–TiB2 in NiAl matrix, with contents from 10 to 30 wt%, emerged with the use of two methods： in situ formed and externally added. The results show that all final products are composed of three phases of NiAl, TiC, and TiB2. The microstructures of NiAl–TiC–TiB2 composites with in situ-formed TiC and TiB2 are fine, and all the three phases are distributed uniformly. The grains of NiAl matrix in the composites have been greatly refined, and the micro-hardness of NiAl increases from 381 HV100 to 779 HV100. However, the microstructures of NiAl–TiC–TiB2 composites with externally added TiC and TiB2 are coarse and inhomogeneous, with severe agglomeration of TiC and TiB2 particles. The samples containing externally added 30 wt% TiC–TiB2attain the micro-hardness of 485 HV100. The microstructure evolution and fracture mode of the two kinds of NiAl–TiC–TiB2 composites are different.

文摘The successful joining of carbon fiber-reinforced aluminum matrix(C_(f)/Al)composites and TC4 alloy can produce composite structure and meet the demands of lightweight in aerospace field.Up to now,few experimental researches have been reported on the joining of C_(f)/Al composites and TC4 alloy.In this study,the AgCu foils and Ni-Al-Zr compact were designed for the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis joining of these two materials.C_(f)/Al composites were joined with a reactive Ti plated on its joining surface.The typical microstructure of TC4/(AgCu/Ni-Al-Zr/AgCu)/Ti/C_(f)/Al joint was analyzed,and the effects of joining condition on microstructural evolution of the SHS joint were investigated.A thin reaction layer of Ni-Al-Ti intermetallic compounds was formed adjacent to the TC4 alloy.As a result,AgCu foils could reduce the effect of reaction heat on the substrates and improve the joint shear strength.When the thickness of AgCu foils reaches 150 lm,the Ni-Al-Zr interlayer mainly acts as auxiliary heat source.High joining pressure caused the active elements to diffuse into C_(f)/Al composites and weakened the shear strength of the joint.Finally,the joint shear strength could reach 36.4 MPa when the AgCu foils were 50 lm and the joining pressure was 2 MPa.
文摘In order to investigate the microstructural evolution during self-propagating high-temperature synthesis （SHS） of Ti-Al powder mixture with an atomic ratio of Ti： Al=1：1, a combustion front quenching method （CFQM） was used for extinguishing the propagating combustion wave, and the microstructures on the quenched sample were observed with scanning electron microscope （SEM） and analyzed with energy dispersive spectrometry （EDS）. In addition, the combustion temperature of the reaction was measured, and the phase constituent of the synthesized product was inspected by X-ray diffraction （XRD）. The results showed that the combustion reaction started from melting of the Al particles, and the melting resulted in dissolving of the Ti particles and forming of Al3Ti grains. As the Al liquid was depleted, the combustion reaction proceeded through solid-state diffusion between the solid Al3Ti and the solid Ti. This led to the forming of TiAl and Ti3Al diffusing layers. In addition, the combustion reaction is incomplete besides TiAl, there are a large amount of Ti3Al and TiAl3 and a small amount of Ti in the final product. This incompleteness chiefly results from the using of coarser Ti powder.
