文摘Bentonite is a necessary binder in producing pellets.Its excessive use reduces the iron grade of pellets and increases production costs.Minimizing bentonite dosage is essential for producing high-quality iron ore pellets.Addressing the gap in the application of organically-intercalated modified bentonite in the pelletizing field,this study introduces an innovative modification process for bentonite that employs the synergistic effect of mechanical force and dimethyl sulfoxide to enhance the intercalation of organic compounds within bentonite,thus significantly enhancing its binding performance.The colloid value and swell capacity of modified bentonite(98.5 m L/3g and 55.0 m L/g)were much higher than the original bentonite(90.5 m L/3g and 17.5 m L/g).With the decrease of bentonite dosage from1.5wt%to 1.0wt%,the drop number of green pellets from a height of 0.5 m and the compressive strengths of roasted pellets using the modified bentonite(6.0 times and 2916 N per pellet)were significantly higher than those of the original bentonite(4.0 times and 2739 N per pellet).This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the intercalation modification mechanism of bentonite,offering crucial technical insights for the development of high-performance modified bentonite as iron ore pellet binders.

文摘Cryogenic rolling impacts on microstructure and mechanical properties of spray-formed 7055(SF-7055)Al alloy were investigated.Results show that with the increase of the reduction from 20%to 80%,the grain of cryogenic rolled SF-7055 Al alloy is elongated to form a fiber texture.Numerous proliferating dislocations in the microstructure accumulate into dislocation walls and cells,and eventually form subgrains.These subgrain boundaries divide the original grain,thereby reducing the grain size.Under severe deformation conditions,they even enable the formation of nanograins.Meanwhile,the Cu-rich precipitates in the matrix are also broken and refined under the action of large rolling stress.In the process of cryogenic rolling,the tensile strength and hardness of SF-7055 Al alloy gradually increase,while the plasticity decreases.Moreover,the fracture morphology of cryogenic rolled SF-7055 Al alloy gradually transforms to the ductile and quasi-cleavage hybrid fracture characteristics with increased reduction.

文摘The microstructure of high Nb-TiAl alloys was optimized by the addition of a small amount of Ta elements to further improve their properties.A series of Ti46Al1.5Cr8Nb-xTa(x=0.2,0.4,0.6,0.8,1.0,at.%)alloys were prepared by vacuum arc melting.The microstructure,mechanical properties,and related influencing mechanisms were systematically investigated.The results indicate that the solidification microstructure of the Ti46Al1.5Cr8Nb-xTa alloys comprises theγ-TiAl phase,α_(2)-Ti_(3)Al phase,and B2 phase.As the Ta content increases from 0.2 at.%to 1.0 at.%,the content ofα_(2)phase and B2 phase increases,while theγphase content decreases.Among them,the B2 phase shows the most pronounced change,being significantly refined,with its content increasing from 12.49%to 21.91%.In addition,the average size of the lamellar colony decreases from 160.65 to 94.44μm.The addition of the Ta element shifts the solidification path toward lower aluminum concentrations,leading to changes in phase content.The tantalum-induced increase in the B2 phase and enhanced supercooling at the solidification front provide the basis for lamellar colony refinement.Compressive testing at room temperature reveals that the Ti46 Al1.5 Cr8 Nb0.4 Ta alloy exhibits optimal compressive properties,achieving a compressive strength of 2,434 MPa and a compressive strain of 33.1%.The improvement of its properties is attributed to a combination of lamellar colony refinement,solid solution strengthening resulting from the incorporation of Ta element,and a reduction in the c/a of theγphase.

文摘(NbZrHfTi)C high-entropy ceramics,as an emerging class of ultra-high-temperature materials,have garnered significant interest due to their unique multi-principal-element crystal structure and exceptional hightemperature properties.This study systematically investigates the mechanical properties of(NbZrHfTi)C high-entropy ceramics by employing first-principles density functional theory,combined with the Debye-Grüneisen model,to explore the variations in their thermophysical properties with temperature(0–2000 K)and pressure(0–30 GPa).Thermodynamically,the calculated mixing enthalpy and Gibbs free energy confirm the feasibility of forming a stable single-phase solid solution in(NbZrHfTi)C.The calculated results of the elastic stiffness constant indicate that the material meets the mechanical stability criteria of the cubic crystal system,further confirming the structural stability.Through evaluation of key mechanical parameters—bulk modulus,shear modulus,Young’s modulus,and Poisson’s ratio—we provide comprehensive insight into the macro-mechanical behaviour of the material and its correlation with the underlying microstructure.Notably,compared to traditional binary carbides and their average properties,(NbZrHfTi)C exhibits higher Vickers hardness(Approximately 28.5 GPa)and fracture toughness(Approximately 3.4 MPa⋅m^(1/2)),which can be primarily attributed to the lattice distortion and solid-solution strengthening mechanism.The study also utilizes the quasi-harmonic approximation method to predict the material’s thermophysical properties,including Debye temperature(initial value around 563 K),thermal expansion coefficient(approximately 8.9×10^(−6) K−1 at 2000 K),and other key parameters such as heat capacity at constant volume.The results show that within the studied pressure and temperature ranges,(NbZrHfTi)C consistently maintains a stable phase structure and good thermomechanical properties.The thermal expansion coefficient increasing with temperature,while heat capacity approaches the Dulong-Petit limit at elevated temperatures.These findings underscore the potential of(NbZrHfTi)C applications in ultra-high temperature thermal protection systems,cutting tool coatings,and nuclear structural materials.

文摘Understanding the deterioration behaviors and mechanisms of rocks under thermo-hydromechanical(THM)interactions is crucial for mitigating slope instability.In this study,the physicomechanical properties of silty mudstone subjected to THM interactions were investigated by triaxial tests.The underlying micro-mechanisms were revealed using microscopic tests.The triaxial test results indicate that the strength parameters of silty mudstone decrease by 89.50%(deformation modulus),78.15%(peak strength),70.58%(cohesion),and 48.65%(friction angle)under 16 THM cycles,a load of 300 kPa,and alternating between 0℃water immersion and 60℃drying.The SEM test results indicate that the deterioration of silty mudstone strength primarily results from hydrothermal-expansion softening and cracking driven by the TLHM interactions.The specimens manifest shear failure under confining pressure exceeding 140 kPa.Furthermore,a new constitutive model considering hydrothermalexpansion strain and non-linear deformation characteristics was developed.The discrepancy between the experimentally measured peak strength and the damage constitutive model prediction remains below 5%.The proposed model is verified to be in satisfactory agreement with the experimental results.The self-designed THM apparatus overcomes the limitations of traditional investigations,enabling simultaneous consideration of thermal,hydraulic,and mechanical interactions.

文摘The composition−property relationship of 18 quaternary high entropy diborides(HEBs)consisting of boron and IVB,VB and VIB transition metals(TM)was investigated using first-principles calculations.A valence electron concentration−relative electronegativity(VEC−REN)composite descriptor was developed to effectively predict the mechanical properties of HEBs.The results demonstrate that with a fixed VEC,the rise of the REN makes HEBs harder but more brittle when the electronegativity of doped TM atoms is lower than that of boron atoms.However,HEBs become softer and more ductile as REN increases if the doped TM atoms have higher electronegativity than boron atoms.The VEC−REN composite descriptor can accurately classify and predict the mechanical properties of HEBs with different components,which provides important theoretical guidance for the rapid design and development of novel high-entropy ceramic materials.

文摘Peri-urban plantations in the Mediterranean are often degraded due to human inactivity and climate change,leading to a loss of ecosystem services and biodiversity.This study investigates the impact of different thinning practices on carbon sequestration and tree stability in a degraded periurban plantation in the Italian Apennines,six years after thinning.Three treatments were compared:(a)moderate thinning from below(-25%biomass),representing the typical practice;(b)intense selective thinning(-35%biomass),representing an innovative approach;and(c)no management as the control.Growth projections were used to estimate carbon recovery for these treatments,based on site-specific models calibrated with real data.The results show that both thinning approaches increased carbon sequestration over time,with the innovative thinning achieving a 7%higher annual carbon sequestration rate than traditional thinning and 8%more than the control.Estimated payback times were9 years for recovering the harvested volume in both thinning approaches,10 years for innovative thinning to surpass traditional thinning,17 years for innovative thinning to surpass the control,and 24 years for traditional thinning to surpass the control.Additionally,tree mechanical stability improved significantly in both thinning treatments after two years,with further increases observed in the innovative thinning group after six years.These results suggest that selective thinning can accelerate forest recovery and carbon sequestration,especially in areas with high stem density,where it can reduce the negative impacts of tree mortality and deadwood accumulation.However,careful planning is required to mitigate potential short-term stability is sues,particularly in challenging environments(e.g.,windy conditions,steep slopes).Forest management strategies should therefore aim to balance growth,carbon storage,and tree stability,considering both long-term sustainability and local environmental conditions.The findings are particularly relevant for current climate change mitigation strategies,emphasizing that thinning should be carefully tailored to forest type and conditions to maximize benefits in carbon credit generation and sustainable forest management practices.

文摘Crushing waste coral concrete into recycled aggregates to create recycled coral aggregate concrete(RCAC)contributes to sustainable construction development on offshore islands and reefs.To investigate the impact of recycled coral aggregate on concrete properties,this study performed a comprehensive analysis of the physical properties of recycled coral aggregate and the basic mechanical properties and microstructure of RCAC.The test results indicate that,compared to coral debris,the crushing index of recycled coral aggregate was reduced by 9.4%,while porosity decreased by 33.5%.Furthermore,RCAC retained the early strength characteristics of coral concrete,with compressive strength and flexural strength exhibiting a notable increase as the water-cement ratio decreased.Under identical conditions,the compressive strength and flexural strength of RCAC were 12.7% and 2.5% higher than coral concrete's,respectively,with porosity correspondingly reduced from 3.13% to 5.11%.This enhancement could be attributed to the new mortar filling the recycled coral aggregate.Scanning electron microscopy(SEM)analysis revealed three distinct interface transition zones within RCAC,with the‘new mortar-old mortar’interface identified as the weakest.The above findings provided a reference for the sustainable use of coral concrete in constructing offshore islands.

文摘A new method was proposed for preparing AZ31/1060 composite plates with a corrugated interface,which involved cold-pressing a corrugated surface on the Al plate and then hot-pressing the assembled Mg/Al plate.The results show that cold-pressing produces intense plastic deformation near the corrugated surface of the Al plate,which promotes dynamic recrystallization of the Al substrate near the interface during the subsequent hot-pressing.In addition,the initial corrugation on the surface of the Al plate also changes the local stress state near the interface during hot pressing,which has a large effect on the texture components of the substrates near the corrugated interface.The construction of the corrugated interface can greatly enhance the shear strength by 2−4 times due to the increased contact area and the strong“mechanical gearing”effect.Moreover,the mechanical properties are largely depended on the orientation relationship between corrugated direction and loading direction.

文摘High entropy alloys(HEAs)have recently attracted significant attention due to their exceptional mechanical properties and potential applications across various fields.Friction stir welding and processing(FSW/P),as notable solid-state welding and processing techniques,have been proved effectiveness in enhancing microstructures and mechanical properties of HEAs.This review article summarizes the current status of FSW/P of HEAs.The welding materials and conditions used for FSW/P in HEAs are reviewed and discussed.The effects of FSW/P on the evolutions of grain structure,texture,dislocation,and secondary phase for different HEAs are highlighted.Furthermore,the influences of FSW/P on the mechanical properties of various HEAs are analyzed.Finally,potential applications,challenges,and future directions of FSW/P in HEAs are forecasted.Overall,FSW/P enable to refine grains of HEAs through dynamic recrystallization and to activate diverse deformation mechanisms of HEAs through tailoring phase structures,thereby significantly improving the strength,hardness,and ductility of both single-and dual-phase HEAs.Future progress in this field will rely on comprehensive optimization of processing parameters and alloy composition,integration of multi-scale modeling with advanced characterization for in-depth exploration of microstructural mechanisms,systematic evaluation of functional properties,and effective bridging of the gap between laboratory research and industrial application.The review aims to provide an overview of recent advancements in the FSW/P of HEAs and encourage further research in this area.

文摘The use of high entropy alloy as a binder for tungsten heavy alloys offers potential advantages.The 95W-5CoCrFeMnNi alloys(95W-HEAs)were prepared via powder metallurgy at sintering temperatures of 1400−1550℃.The microstructure analysis revealed that the tungsten phase in 95W-HEAs exhibited a nearly spherical morphology in the HEA binder matrix and the formation of a Cr−Mn oxide mixed phase was observed.The sintering temperature exerted a significant influence on the relative density,grain size,W−W contiguity,and mechanical properties of the alloys.The optimal performance was achieved when sintering at 1450℃,yielding a relative density of 96.61%,a W−W contiguity of 0.528,an average grain size of 18.97μm,a compressive strength of 2234.82 MPa,and a hardness of HV 400.6.The activation energy for the diffusion of tungsten in the liquid phase formed by HEA binder was calculated to be 354.514 kJ/mol,highlighting its role in controlling grain growth.

文摘To investigate the aging mechanisms and elucidate the correlations between unstable microstructure and performance in biodegradable Zn alloys,the accelerated aging experiment was conducted on a high-performance wrought Zn−0.1Mg alloy by annealing at 200℃ for varying durations.The findings reveal that the tensile strength of the alloy rapidly and significantly declines with prolonged annealing time,decreasing from 383 MPa for the as-received alloy to 102 MPa for the alloy subjected to 1440 min of annealing.The primary factors contributing to this considerable reduction in strength are static recrystallization,grain coarsening,and dislocation annihilation.Initially,the ductility of the alloy shows fluctuations,ultimately experiencing a marked decrease after extended annealing.This decline is linked to the grain growth and heightened texture intensity,while the unusual increase in ductility observed between 30 and 120 min of annealing is likely due to the formation of twins.In addition,due to rapid grain growth and an increase in precipitates and twins,the corrosion resistance of the alloy in Hank’s solution has worsened,with the corrosion rate rising from 0.037 to 0.069 mm/a following 300 min of annealing.

文摘The interfacial structure and its regulation play a crucial role in determining the overall performance of advanced functional composites.Weak interfacial interactions between carbon fibers and the matrix present a critical challenge limiting the general performance and functional applications of carbon fiberreinforced composites.In this paper,a novel strategy for bioinspired root-soil interfacial structure was presented to enhance the mechanical properties of polymer bonded explosives.A multiscale nanowire heterostructure was constructed through the in-situ growth of morphologically controllable zinc oxide nanowires on the carbon fiber surface via a facile hydrothermal method,with polydopamine as the interfacial reinforcement layer.This structure emulated the function of the"root",and combined with a network-distributed polymer binder representing the"soil",formed a robust root-soil interlocking interfacial structure within the polymer bonded explosives.Due to the multiscale interfacial reinforcement structure,the tensile strength of the polymer bonded explosives was visibly increased by 41%,the strain at the break by 110%,and the creep resistance by 51%with only 0.4 wt%filler adopted.The thermal stress resistance was improved by 57%owing to the synergistic enhancement of thermal conductivity and mechanical properties.This study provides new perspectives and insights for designing and constructing high-performance polymer bonded explosives and other functional composites.
