Spherical fused tungsten carbide (sFTC) reinforced nickel-aluminum bronze (NAB) matrix composite surface deposits have shown remarkable potential in mitigating wear by approximately 80%. However, the performance of these sFTC/NAB composite surface deposits is determined by their residual stress state, and the precise macroscopic and microscopic residual stresses within these composites have yet to be clearly established. To address this gap, we employed neutron diffraction to measure the residual stresses in the sFTC/NAB composite surface deposits and re-melted NAB samples produced via laser melt injection. Significant residual stresses were determined. The maximum tensile macro residual stress appears approximately 1-1.5 mm below the composite layer. Residual stresses accumulate with an increasing number of laser process tracks. The maximum tensile macro residual stress in the three-track samples reaches about 350 MPa. Preheating the base plate significantly reduces the levels of macroscopic residual stress. The WC phase displayed significant compressive thermal misfit residual stress magnitude, while the Cu matrix exhibited tensile thermal misfit residual stress. Preheating the base plate does not reduce microscopic thermal misfit residual stress levels. In addition, a finite element model was built to investigate temperature and residual stresses in the re-melted NAB samples. The predicted temperature history and residual stress agree with the experimental results.展开更多

The bronze coatings were atmospherically plasma sprayed on the 45# medium carbon steel substrate. The effect of rare earth Ce on the microstructures and Vickers hardness of the cast alloy and coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, electronic probe microanalysis, transmission electron microscopy and microhardness measurements. The results indicate that the hardness of both as-cast alloy and coating are enhanced by the addition of 0.6% Ce due to the refinement of κ phases which are well distributed in the matrix. The rapid solidification in the plasma spray processing retains Fe-supersaturated in the Al-bronze alloy coatings, which avoids the formation of eutectoid （α＋γ2） phase and stacking faults are found in the coatings with Ce added, accordingly improves the mechanical properties.展开更多

Cathodic polarization result indicates that the cathodic limiting current density increases with decreasing the TEL thickness. EIS result shows that the corrosion rate increases with decreasing the TEL thickness at the initial stage because the corrosion is dominated by the cathodic process, whereas after long immersion time, the corrosion degree with the TEL thickness is in the sequence of 150 μm 〉 310 μm〉 10μm ≈ bulk solution 〉 57 μm. The measurements of OCP and EIS present in-situ electrochemical corrosion information and their results are in good agreement with that of physical characterizations.展开更多

In order to establish the constitutive relation of NAB under high strain rate condition, a new methodology was proposed to accurately identify the constitutive parameters of Johnson?Cook model in machining, combining SHPB tests, predictive cutting force model and orthogonal cutting experiment. Firstly, SHPB tests were carried out to obtain the true stress?strain curves at various temperatures and strain rates. Then, an objective function of the predictive and experimental flow stresses was set up, which put the identified parameters of SHPB tests as the initial value, and utilized the PSO algorithm to identify the constitutive parameters of NAB in machining. Finally, the identified parameters were verified to be sufficiently accurate by comparing the values of cutting forces calculated from the predictive model and FEM simulation.展开更多

Cathodic polarization result indicates that the cathodic limiting current density increases with decreasing the TEL thickness. EIS result shows that the corrosion rate increases with decreasing the TEL thickness at the initial stage because the corrosion is dominated by the cathodic process, whereas after long immersion time, the corrosion degree with the TEL thickness is in the sequence of 150 μm 〉 310 μm〉 10μm ≈ bulk solution 〉 57 μm. The measurements of OCP and EIS present in-situ electrochemical corrosion information and their results are in good agreement with that of physical characterizations.

文摘The material of nickel aluminum bronze (NAB) presents superior properties such as high strength, excellent wear resistance and stress corrosion resistance and is extensively used for marine propellers. In order to establish the constitutive relation of NAB under high strain rate condition, a new methodology was proposed to accurately identify the constitutive parameters of Johnson?Cook model in machining, combining SHPB tests, predictive cutting force model and orthogonal cutting experiment. Firstly, SHPB tests were carried out to obtain the true stress?strain curves at various temperatures and strain rates. Then, an objective function of the predictive and experimental flow stresses was set up, which put the identified parameters of SHPB tests as the initial value, and utilized the PSO algorithm to identify the constitutive parameters of NAB in machining. Finally, the identified parameters were verified to be sufficiently accurate by comparing the values of cutting forces calculated from the predictive model and FEM simulation.
文摘X-ray diffaction analysis(XRDA)data of the black or brown patina on the surfaces of eight kinds of bronze mirror samples show 4 or 5 broad diffuse peaks which corresponding to almost the same 20 angle, while their matixes does not.These results indicate that those diffuse peaks were produced by the SnO2, microcrystals of 3 ￣5 nm size contained in the black or brown patina.The matrix of unearthed black patina bronze mirror numbered 223, gives strong XRDA diffraction peaks, indicating that there are a large amounts of non-oxidized bronze alloy particles surrounded by SnO2,which shows that the black patinas are not wholly metallic oxides (mainly SnO2),there are also a lot of original alloys of different sizes in grain in the patina.The bright-field image of the black patina sample gives the same result.
文摘A data base of lead isotope ratio of ancient Chinese bronzes is set up. There are 2 888 members, including bronze objects, casting remains, and related ores, etc. in the file. The file contents of data base are made from analysis work on Chinese bronze previously carried out in several laboratories in China, Japan and USA. The main body of the file contents is formed from records, analysis data, reference documents, and images. The data base is designed for sharing information in provenance study on raw metal material for bronze production in China Bronze Age.
文摘It has been reported that endosperm undergoes programmed cell death (PCD) during maize kernel development.Both bz1 (bronze ) and bz2 are anthocyanin biosynthetic genes,and related to development of aleuronic layer of maize seeds.Tyramide signal amplification fluorescence in situ hybridization (TSA FISH) is a novel and high sensitive FISH technique,which is suitable for routine application in plant cytogenetic research.Using this technique,we physically mapped the bz1 gene onto the short arm of chromosome 9 and the long arm of chromosome 1;the percentage distances from centromere to hybridization site were 40.2,75.4 respectively,and the bz2 onto the long arm of chromosome 1 and the short arm of chromosome 5;the percentage distances from centromere to hybridization site were 21.6,15.3 separately.The TSA FISH techniques of small low copy DNA sequences for plants are discussed.
