The results show that welding heat input has a significant effect on the hardness of the SZ. Under high welding heat input condition, a higher welding speed is beneficial for improving the hardness of the SZ. However, when the welding heat input is low, the hardness of the SZ elevates with increasing the rotation speed. The hardness of the SZ decreases after post-welded heat treatment due to overaging. The joints welded at 500 r/min and 100 mm/min show a high resistance to overaging. The reduction of hardness in the SZ is only 3.8%, while in other joints, the reduction is more than 10%. The morphology of strengthening precipitates plays important roles for the improvement of hardness.展开更多

Effects of hard water on selective flocculation of diasporic bauxite was tested and the measures were taken to eliminate the effects of Ca2＋ and Mg2＋ in hard water. The results indicated that, not only the concentration of electrolyte ions but also the ionic valence of the electrolyte ions affects the settling behavior of kaolinite; hard water significantly affects its selective flocculation owing to Ca2＋ and Mg2＋; general dispersants could not eliminate the effects of Ca2＋ and Mg2＋. Self-made softening agent in our lab could weaken or eliminate the effects of hard water on flocculation processes. The results of molecular dynamics simulation show that softening agent molecules could restrict Ca2＋ and prevent them from playing their roles, so as to eliminate the effects. The continuous pilot experiment results of bauxite flocculation were even better than those obtained in laboratory.展开更多

文摘Compared to traditional superhard materials with high electron density and short,strong covalent bonds,alloy materials mainly composed of metallic bonding structures typically have great toughness and lower hardness.Breaking through the limits of alloy materials is a preface and long-term topic,which is of great significance and value for improving the comprehensive mechanical properties of alloy materials.Here,we report on the discovery of a cubic alloy semiconducting material Ti_(2)Co with a large Vickers of hardness K_(v)^(exp)∼6.7GPa and low fracture toughness of K_(IC)^(exp)∼1.51MPa·m^(1/2).Unexpectedly,the K_(v)^(exp)∼6.7GPa is nearly triple of the K_(v)^(cal)∼2.66GPa predicted by density functional theory(DFT)calculations and theK_(IC)^(exp)∼1.51MPa·m^(1/2)is about one or two orders of magnitude smaller than that of ordinary titanium alloy materials(K_(IC)^(exp)∼30-120MPa·m^(1/2)).These specifications place Ti_(2)Co far from the phase space of the known alloy materials.Upon incorporation of oxygen into structural void positions,both values were simultaneously improved for Ti_(4)Co_(2)O to∼9.7GPa and∼2.19MPa·m^(1/2),respectively.Further DFT calculations on the electron localization function of Ti_(4)Co_(2)X(X=B,C,N,O)vs.the interstitial elements indicate that these simultaneous improvements originate from the coexistence of Ti-Co metallic bonds,the emergence of newly oriented Ti-X covalent bonds,and the increase of electron concentration.Moreover,the large difference between K_(v)^(exp)and K_(v)^(cal)of Ti_(2)Co suggests underlying mechanism concerning the absence of the O(16d)or Ti_(2)-O bonds in the O-(Ti_(2))_(6) octahedron.This discovery proposes a new pathway to simultaneously improve the comprehensive mechanical performances and illuminates the path of exploring superconducting materials with excellent mechanical performances.

文摘1.Introduction The synthesis of bulk nanostructured multiphase(NM)mate-rials with extreme properties such as high hardness and strength is one of the most interesting research topics in materials science and engineering[1].At present,NM alloys can be produced by several synthesis methods,including sintering of nanocomposites[2,3],physical or chemical vapour deposition(PVD or CVD)[4],crystallization of metallic glasses[5],and severe plastic deforma-tion(SPD)[6-8].However,industry applications of bulk NM alloys produced by these methods are significantly restricted by their ge-ometrical and size limitations.Thus,the fabrication of large-scale NM alloys remains challenging.

文摘The principal challenge in optimizing biomass-derived hard carbon(HC)is the concurrent enhancement of specific capacity,cycling durability,and rate performance,as these properties are closely related to the disordered carbon network and abundant pore structure.However,inadequate controllability of morphology,insufficiently regulated pore structures,and the complexity of post-processing modifications hinders the practical application of HC.In this work,a high-temperature and high-pressure expansion pretreatment technique is proposed to regulate the structure of starch precursors,enabling the precise design of ordered graphitic-like microcrystals and closed pores within HC.The optimized starch-based HC displayed remarkable electrochemical efficiency,with a reversible capacity of 332.0 mAh g^(-1),an initial Coulombic efficiency of 90.4%,and stable cycling over 3000 cycles.Meanwhile,advanced full-cell utilizing Na4Fe3(PO_(4))_(2)P_(2)O_(7) cathode achieve stable cycling performance exceeding 1000 cycles,demonstrating outstanding performance.This research innovatively employs a green expansion process to achieve structural regulation of HC,thereby providing an environmentally friendly and economically viable technical pathway for its large-scale production.

文摘To address the challenges of rapid bit failure and high drilling costs associated with hard limestone in Sichuan Basin of China,we conducted rock-breaking experiments and simulations of shaped(cylindrical,ridge,and chopper)cutters.Rock mechanics,drillability,and acoustic emission indentation tests revealed the drilling resistance characteristics of the limestone:average uniaxial compressive strength of 202.472 MPa,tensile strength of 7.092 MPa,and drillability of 7.866.We evaluated the performance differences between the shaped cutters before introducing an efficient and innovative finite-discrete-infinite element method(FDIEM)to establish an interaction model between the shaped cutters and limestone.The simulation results indicated the following:(1)The shaped cutters demonstrated superior rock-breaking performance compared to the traditional cylindrical cutter.(2)Compared with the cylindrical cutter,the ridge cutter yielded the lowest peak indentation force and mechanical specific energy,with reductions of 8.71%and 33.83%,respectively.This confirmed that the ridge cutter had the optimal tooth profile for the target formation.Its rock-breaking mechanism relied on the convex edges to induce localized high stress in the rock,which enabled efficient rock fragmentation via a plowing mode while mitigating frictional resistance from cuttings.(3)The novel chopper cutter with its secondary step surface exerted a buffering effect on the cuttings,thereby achieving high cutting stability.This study provides theoretical and technical support for the design of personalized drill bits and the acceleration of the rate of penetration(ROP)in deep hard rock formations.

文摘Hard carbon(HC)remains a leading anode candidate for sodium-ion storage,yet its application is hindered by low initial Coulombic efficiency(ICE)and limited plateau capacity due to uncontrolled defect density and open porosity.Here,we propose a scalable dual-regulation strategy that simultaneously tunes pore mouth size and defect chemistry to enhance sodium storage performance.Using phenol-formaldehyde resin as the carbon precursor and phosphorus pentoxide(P_(2)O_(5))as a bifunctional sacrificial template and dopant source,we synthesize phosphorus-functionalized hard carbon(PF-PHC)featuring a high density of closed pores with well-confined sub-nanometer pore entrances.The in-situ sublimation of P_(2)O_(5) during pyrolysis promotes the formation of closed-pore architectures,while residual phosphorus atoms effectively passivate vacancy-type defects,thereby reducing irreversible Na+adsorption and mitigating excessive solid electrolyte interphase(SEI)formation.As a result,PF-PHC achieves an ICE of 89.3%and a plateau capacity of 289 mAh g^(−1).In-situ characterizations reveal that regulating pore mouth dimensions decouples Na+and solvent access,enabling highly selective ion transport and stable interfacial chemistry.Sodium-ion hybrid capacitors(SIHCs)assembled based on PF-PHC deliver exceptional rate performance and outstanding long-term cycling stability,retaining 98.2%after 10,000 cycles at 2 A g^(−1).This study establishes pore mouth engineering as a robust and scalable design principle for advancing next-generation HC-based sodium storage materials.

文摘Coal-derived hard carbon(HC)represents a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries owing to its cost-effectiveness and high carbon yield.However,conventional carbonization induces excessive graphitization,yielding insufficient interlayer spacing(d_(002)<0.37 nm)and underdeveloped closed pores.Herein,we propose a dynamic crystallization control strategy through carbothermal shock treatment(1300°C,30 s)that decouples thermodynamic and kinetic constraints.This method precisely modulates graphite domain ordering kinetics,producing short-range ordered structures with expanded interlayer spacing(d_(002)=0.385 nm)and homogeneously distributed closed nanopores.Through combined in situ characterization and first-principles calculations,we elucidate a three-stage crystallization mechanism:(i)amorphous carbon transformation,(ii)open-pore collapse,and(iii)pseudo-graphitic ordering.The optimized HC achieves record performance with 88.6%initial Coulombic efficiency and 204 mA h g^(−1)plateau capacity,while its optimal interlayer spacing lowers Na+diffusion barriers to enable exceptional rate capability(221 mA h g^(−1)at 0.5C after 300 cycles).Practical pouch cells maintain 85%capacity retention after 100 cycles at−20°C and deliver 284 Wh kg^(−1)energy density.This work establishes a kinetic regulation paradigm for graphitization-prone precursors,advancing the rational design of high-performance HC anodes.

文摘There are limitations to using hard carbon(HC)in K^(+)storage due to its insufficient high-current reversible capacity and plateau potential,which result from the lack of effective active sites and low intercalation capabilities.The construction of HC cathodes with more available functional groups and ordered carbon nanocrystal structures is essential for improving K^(+)storage efficiency.Herein,a new perspective is proposed for synthesizing hard carbon nanosheets(HCNS)with abundant hydroxyl groups(O-H)/carboxylic groups(O-C=O)and rational carbon nanocrystals by interfacial assembly and carbonization.Systematic in ex-situ observations,dynamic analysis and theory calculations elucidate that the superior electrochemical capability of HCNS is ascribed to the synergistic effect of abundant available functional groups and ordered graphitic microcrystalline.Consequently,the HCNS exhibits outstanding K^(+)storage capabilities in terms of superb energy density(146.2 Wh/kg),high power density(1,7800 Wh/kg),and ultralong lifespan(102.9%capacity retention after 10,000 cycles).It was also found that the HC structure correlates with the discharge/charge plateau,confirming the'adsorption-insertion'charge storage mechanism.Furthermore,the proposed work provides a theoretical basis for making high-performance HC anodes by understanding the effect of their microstructure on K^(+)storage.

文摘Hard carbon is a vital anode material for sodium-ion batteries;however,the nonuniform growth of solid electrolyte interphase(SEI)film substantially diminishes its initial coulombic efficiency(ICE)and cycle life.The chemical and morphological properties of surface highly influence the electrode/electrolyte interfacial reactions.In this study,we have tuned orbital hybridization states forming an interface enriched with sp^(2) hybridized carbon(sp^(2)-C),which decreases the binding energy to solvent molecules and inhibits excessive solvent decomposition during SEI formation.Benefiting from successfully constructed inorganic-rich SEI,the ICE increased to 91%and sodium storage capacity reached 346 mAh/g.Besides,the capacity retention rate was 90.7%after 700 cycles at 1 A/g higher than pristine electrode(83.8%).

文摘Prediction of permeability changes in surrounding rock induced by engineering disturbances is crucial for mitigating tunnel water inrush accidents.This study investigates the progressive failure characteristics and permeability evolution of hard and soft rocks subjected to triaxial compression.A series of laboratory tests were conducted at confining pressures ranging from 4 to 20 MPa.Experimental results demonstrate that rock permeability variation with strain shows three distinct stages:an initial decrease,a stage of rapid mutation,and a postpeak increase.The concept of critical permeability barrier strength is introduced,representing the stress level at which continuous fracture formation enables significant seepage.Furthermore,two generalized permeability–stress models are developed for soft and hard rocks.The predicted permeability values obtained from these models align well with the experimental data.These findings offer valuable insights into the hydro-mechanical coupling behavior of rocks,providing a foundation for safe construction practices in underground engineering.

文摘Efficient hard-rock fragmentation remains a critical challenge in mechanized mining.This study designed an adjustable-spacing mold and conducted double cutting pick indentation tests on granite.Mechanical responses and fragmentation characteristics under varying horizontal stresses,pick spacings,and groove depths were systematically analyzed.Unidirectional stress concentration altered the rock fragmentation modes,exhibiting a dual effect on the fragmentation process.The maximum indentation force(F_(max)),indentation hardness index(IHI),indentation modulus(IM),and indentation energy(W)initially increased and then decreased with rising horizontal stress.Appropriate spacing promoted radial crack coalescence,whereas too small a spacing(20 mm)caused repetitive re-fragmentation of rock chips,and too large a spacing(50 mm)resulted in unbroken ridges.Pre-cut grooves weakened the rock,reducing F_(max) and specific energy(SE),thus improving fragmentation efficiency,although the improvement slowed beyond a 10-mm groove depth.Based on the results and rock-mass conditioning assisted fragmentation mechanism,a“stress-structure dual control”assisted fragmentation mechanism was proposed,and a“pre-drilling unloading−alternate stopping”mining scheme was exploratorily designed.This approach creates favorable conditions for rock fragmentation by reducing stress levels and rock mass integrity in target zones,providing theoretical support and an engineering paradigm for mecheanized mining of deep resources.

文摘Effects of Cr3C2,VC and La2O3 additions on the WC grain morphology,hardness and toughness of WC-10Co alloys were investigated.To intensify the grain growth driving force,nano W and nano C,instead of the conventionally used WC,were used as the starting materials.To obtain a three-dimensional WC grain morphology,the natural sinter skins of the alloys were observed directly by scanning electron microscopy.It is shown that the additions have a strong ability in regulating the WC grain morphological and grain size distribution characteristics and the combinations of hardness and toughness.Due to the formation of regular and homogeneous triangular platelet WC grains,WC-10Co-0.6Cr3C2-0.06La2O3 alloy shows an excellent combination of hardness and toughness.The morphological regulation mechanism,the relationship between the WC grain morphology and the properties were discussed.

文摘The microstructure and hardness of the stir zone （SZ） with different welding heat inputs were investigated for friction stir-welded 2024-T3 aluminum by transmission electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimeter and Vickers micro-hardness test. The results show that welding heat input has a significant effect on the hardness of the SZ. Under high welding heat input condition, a higher welding speed is beneficial for improving the hardness of the SZ. However, when the welding heat input is low, the hardness of the SZ elevates with increasing the rotation speed. The hardness of the SZ decreases after post-welded heat treatment due to overaging. The joints welded at 500 r/min and 100 mm/min show a high resistance to overaging. The reduction of hardness in the SZ is only 3.8%, while in other joints, the reduction is more than 10%. The morphology of strengthening precipitates plays important roles for the improvement of hardness.

文摘The effect of electrolyte on settling behavior of kaolinite was studied. Effects of hard water on selective flocculation of diasporic bauxite was tested and the measures were taken to eliminate the effects of Ca2＋ and Mg2＋ in hard water. The results indicated that, not only the concentration of electrolyte ions but also the ionic valence of the electrolyte ions affects the settling behavior of kaolinite; hard water significantly affects its selective flocculation owing to Ca2＋ and Mg2＋; general dispersants could not eliminate the effects of Ca2＋ and Mg2＋. Self-made softening agent in our lab could weaken or eliminate the effects of hard water on flocculation processes. The results of molecular dynamics simulation show that softening agent molecules could restrict Ca2＋ and prevent them from playing their roles, so as to eliminate the effects. The continuous pilot experiment results of bauxite flocculation were even better than those obtained in laboratory.

The analysis of experimental results with different indentation depths demonstrates that the hardn...
