The results exhibit the presence of a large proportion of γ-FeOOH and α-FeOOH and a small amount of Fe3O4 in the outer rust layer. During the wet-dry cyclic process, the bonding performance and the density of outer rust layer deteriorate with the thickness of outer rust. The inner rust layer plays a main role on protectiveness, which can be attributed to the formation of an ultra-dense and adherent rust film with major constituent of α-FeOOH and α-Fe2O3 on the steel.展开更多

文摘The effects of prior austenite and primary carbides on the mechanical properties of a novel 2.5 GPa grade steel were investigated by treating at various solid-solution temperatures.The ultimate tensile strength and Charpy U-notch impact energy initially increased and subsequently decreased as the solid-solution temperature rose,while the yield strength consistently decreased.The size of prior austenite grain and martensite block always increased with rising the solid-solution temperature,and austenite grain growth activation energy is 274,969 J/mol.The growth of prior austenite was restricted by primary carbides M6C and MC.The dissolution of the primary carbides not only enhanced solid-solution strengthening and secondary hardening effects but also increased the volume fraction of retained austenite.The increase in the ultimate tensile strength and Charpy U-notch impact energy was primarily attributed to the dissolution of the primary carbides M6C and MC,while the decrease was due to the increase in the size of prior austenite grain and martensite block.Exceptional combination of strength,ductility and toughness with ultimate tensile strength of 2511 MPa,yield strength of 1920 MPa,elongation of 9.5%,reduction of area of 41%and Charpy U-notch impact energy of 19.5 J was obtained when experimental steel was solid-solution treated at 1020℃.

文摘To address the challenge that plasticity and strength cannot be synergistically enhanced in 30CrMnSiNi_(2)A fabricated by laser additive manufacturing,high performance samples were fabricated by laser powder bed fusion(LPBF)using the transformation-induced plasticity(TRIP)effect in this study.The optimization of the volumetric energy density(VED)resulted in an increase of the residual austenite(RA)content from 5.5%to 12.7%.Meanwhile,the martensite/austenite(M/A)island content was increased from 10.35%to 39.05%,and the morphology was transitioned from blocky to filmy structure.The phase transition during cooling triggered a competition between pre-martensite and bainite,which reduced the average grain size of the sample to 1.58μm.In addition,the elevated VED promoted the formation of fine carbides during the decomposition of M/A islands,triggering the Orowan effect,which effectively hindered dislocation motion.These microstructural enhancements obtained excellent tensile strength(1566±5.9 MPa)and elongation(14.7%±0.8%).The fracture morphology exhibited a combination of transgranular quasi-cleavage and ductile dimple fractures,indicating a balanced plasticity-strength synergy.This work demonstrates the potential of LPBF for manufacturing 30CrMnSiNi_(2)A components with intricate designs and superior mechanical properties.

文摘The traditional"trial and error"microstructural control method,with high cost and low efficiency,has become a key issue restricting the development of ultra-high strength and toughness titanium alloys.This study adopts the molybdenum equivalent(Mo_([eq]))method to rapidly design Ti-xMo-4Al-4Zr-3Nb-2Cr-1Fe alloys(x=5-9).The as-cast alloys with different Mo_([eq])exhibit a single peak of theβphase in XRD.Theβgrains of 5Mo alloy(the lowest Mo_([eq]))exhibit elongated columnar grain characteristics.As the Mo_([eq])increases,theβgrains transition towards a more equiaxed form,resulting in a decrease in aspect ratio and a reduction in grain size.As the Mo_([eq])increases,the a phase content gradually decreases and the a phase is almost unobservable in 9Mo alloy(the highest Mo_([eq])).The a phase in 5Mo alloy exhibits short rod-shaped shapes with an average length of about2.4μm,while the a phase in 6Mo alloy shows an equiaxed and short rod shapes with the smallest size.The strength,plasticity,and toughness are the lowest in 5Mo alloy,with values of 867 MPa,7.3%,and 56 MPa·m^(1/2),respectively.However,it reaches its maximum in 6Mo alloy,where the strength,plasticity,and toughness increase to 984 MPa,12.8%,and 74 MPa·m^(1/2),respectively.The mechanical properties of Ti-xMo-4Al-4Zr-3Nb-2Cr-1Fe alloys are affected mainly by solid-solution strengthening of Mo element,refinement ofβgrain,and changes inα/βphase content.This study lays a certain theoretical foundation for the theoretical research and composition development of new ultra-high strength and toughness titanium alloys.
文摘Hanging roofs or high hang-ups.a common problem in sublevel caving mining,usually result in a large ore loss and undermine mining safety.This paper analyzed the formation of a hanging roof and showed that increased confining pressure and reduced free surface were its main characteristics.In order to break down a hanging roof,a new method based on shock wave collision and stress superposition was developed.In this method,two blastholes containing multi-primer at different positions are simultaneously initiated at first.By doing this,a new free surface and a swell room can be created.After these holes are fired,a long delay time is given to the next blasthole so that the fragments from the first twohole blasting have enough time to fall down.This new method was applied to three hanging roofs in one production area,and all of them were successfully broken down.Field inspection indicated that almost no damage was caused in the nearby drifts/tunnels due to the new method.In addition,the far field vibrations were found to be smaller than the maximum vibrations induced by some other blasts.

文摘The influence of rust layers on the corrosion behavior of ultra-high strength steel 300M subjected to a simulated coastal atmosphere was investigated by corrosion weight loss, surface analysis techniques, and electrochemical methods. The results exhibit the presence of a large proportion of γ-FeOOH and α-FeOOH and a small amount of Fe3O4 in the outer rust layer. During the wet-dry cyclic process, the bonding performance and the density of outer rust layer deteriorate with the thickness of outer rust. The inner rust layer plays a main role on protectiveness, which can be attributed to the formation of an ultra-dense and adherent rust film with major constituent of α-FeOOH and α-Fe2O3 on the steel.

文摘The hierarchical martensitic features in ultra-high strength stainless steel(UHSSS),including the prior austenite grains,martensite packets,blocks and laths with the descending size,were refined to various extents by employing different thermomechanical processes and then carefully characterized.Their relation to yield strength and impact toughness was analyzed.We conclude that the refinement of martensitic structures could lead to the significant increase of yield strength,which follows the Hall-Petch relation with the effect grain size defined by high angle boundaries(HABs).Impact toughness of UHSSS depends on the frequency and capability for retained austenite(RA)grains at both HABs and martensite lath boundaries to trap the propagating cracks via strain-induced transformation,in which the film-like RA grains at lath boundaries appear to make the greater contribution.
