Microstructure was observed to reveal the mechanism of hydrogen-enhanced compressive properties. The experimental results indicate that hydrogen has favorable effects on the compressive properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy at high strain rate. Compression of Ti-6Al-4V alloy first increases up to a maximum and then decreases with the increase of hydrogen content at the same discharge energy under EMF tests. The compression increases by 47.0% when 0.2% (mass fraction) hydrogen is introduced into Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The optimal hydrogen content for cold formation of Ti–6Al–4V alloy under EMF was determined. The reasons for the hydrogen-induced compressive properties were discussed.展开更多

The compressive properties...Open-cell nickel foams with different relative densities and pre-stretching degrees were subjected to room temperature quasi-static compressive tests to explore their compressive properties. The compressive properties of the nickel foams including yield strength, elastic modulus, energy absorption density and energy absorption efficiency were calculated accurately. The results show that the compressive properties of yield strength, elastic modulus and energy absorption density increase with the increase of relative density of nickel foams. The compressive properties are sensitive to the pre-stretching degree, and the values of yield strength, elastic modulus and energy absorption density decrease with the increase of pre-stretching degree. However, the energy absorption efficiency at the densification strain state exhibits the independence of relative density and pre-stretching degree. The value of energy absorption efficiency reaches its peak when the strain is at the end of the collapse plateau region.展开更多

And, compression deformation behavior at room-temperature was studied. The results showed that the microstructure of Mg-8Zn-1Y alloy solidified under ambient pressure and super-high pressure was both mainly composed of ■-Mg and quasicrystal I-Mg3Zn6 Y. Solidification under super-high pressure contributed to refining solidified microstructure and changing morphology of the intergranular second phase. The morphology of intergranular second phase（quasicrystal I-Mg3Zn6Y） was transformed from continuous network（ambient pressure） to long island（high pressure） and finally to granular（super-high pressure） with the increase in pressure. The compressive strength, yield strength and rupture strain of the samples solidified under ambient pressure were significantly improved from 262.6 MPa, 244.4 MPa and 13.3% to 437.3 MPa, 368.9 MPa and 24.7% under the pressure of 6 GPa, respectively. Under ambient pressure, cleavage plane on compressive fracture was large and smooth. When it was solidified under the pressure ranging from 4 to 6 GPa, cleavage plane on compressive fracture was small and coarse. In addition, dimple, tear ridge and lobate patterns existed.展开更多

The results show that the dendrite phase with a body-centered-cubic （bcc） structure transforms into the interdendrite phase with a new bcc structure. With the increase of the Ti contents and heat-treatment temperature, the average hardness and yield strengths are greatly improved, and the highest hardness and yielding strength are 583 HV and 2.07 GPa, respectively in the investigated HEA system. The as-cast and annealed HEAs exhibit excellent mechanical properties, combining with high yielding strength and plasticity. The solid solution strengthening mechanism of Ti additions is responsible for the strengthening effect of AlCoCrFeNiTix HEAs.展开更多

In this study, thermohydrogen processing was carried out for metastable β-type TB8 alloy. The microstructures of hydrogenated TB8 alloy were investigated based on scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, transmission electronic microscopy （TEM） as well as X-ray diffraction （XRD） analysis. The results reveal that 6 hydride phase forms in the hydrogenated TB8 alloy, but the amount of β phase increases with hydrogen content increasing. Single β phase appears when the hydrogen content reaches 0.7 wt%. The alloying elements redistrib- ute in the hydrogenated TB8 alloy, and hydrogen leads to the reduction of the alloying elements in β phase. The room-temperature compression tests were performed on a MTS809 machine. It is found that the room-temperature yield strength of hydrogenated TB8 alloy decreases. And minimum yield strength is obtained at a hydrogen content of 0.5 wt%. The ductility does not decrease within 0.7 wt% hydrogen content. These results provide theoretical basis for improving the formability and promoting the applica- tions of TB8 alloy.展开更多

The five alloys exhibit different dendritic and interdendritic morphologies. The Ti Zr Hf VNb, Ti Zr Hf VTa and Ti Zr Nb Mo V alloys formed disordered solid solution phases with body-centered cubic structure, and exhibited high compressive strength and good plasticity. The Ti Zr Hf Mo V and Zr Nb Mo Hf V alloys are composed with Laves phase(Hf Mo2) and disordered solid solution phases with body-centered cubic structure. The Ti Zr Hf Mo V and Zr Nb Mo Hf V alloys are harder and more brittle than the other three alloys due to the existence of hard and brittle Laves phases. At high temperatures, the strength decreases to below 300 MPa for the Ti Zr Hf VNb and Ti Zr Hf Mo V alloys. Solution strengthening is the primary strengthening mechanism of the Ti Zr Hf VNb, Ti Zr Hf VTa and Ti Zr Nb Mo V alloys, and brittle Laves phase is the main cause for the low ductility of the Ti Zr Hf Mo V and Zr Nb Mo Hf V alloys.展开更多

文摘Long period stacking ordered（LPSO） structure phases were prepared by conventional solidification method in Mg（94）Zn3YxGd（3-x）（x=3,2,1.5,1,mole fraction） alloys,the microstructures,corrosion and compressive mechanical properties of which were investigated,separately.The results reveal that the microstructures of the as-cast Mg（94）Zn3YxGd（3-x） alloys,with n（Zn）/n（Y＋Gd）=1：1,consist of α（Mg） phase,Mg3Zn3RE2（W） phase,Mg（12）ZnRE（14H-LPSO） phase and a few bright cube-shaped Mg-Y-Gd phases.The formation and the distribution of LPSO-phase in the alloys can be influenced by the content of Gd.The volume fraction of 14H-LPSO phase increases first and then decreases with the increase of the Gd content.For the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy（EIS） measurement,a R（Q（R（QR））） model was used to fit the test results in 3.5%（mass fraction） NaCl solution at room temperature.The corrosion current densities of all samples are about 10-（-5） A/cm-2.When x（Gd）≤1%,Mg-Zn-Y-（Gd）alloy shows good corrosion resistance,which is better than that of the commercial AZ91 D magnesium alloy.The corrosion rate increases when the Gd content is higher than 1.5%.At room temperature,the compressive properties of Mg-Zn-Y-（Gd） alloys increase remarkably with the increase of the volume fraction of LPSO phase.In addition,the pinning effect of W-phase and dispersive cube-shaped Mg-Y-Gd phase is beneficial to improving the mechanical properties of as-cast Mg（94）Zn3YxGd（3-x） alloy in deformation process.

文摘Electromagnetic forming tests were done at room temperature to reveal the influence of hydrogen content on the compressive properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy at high strain rate. Microstructure was observed to reveal the mechanism of hydrogen-enhanced compressive properties. The experimental results indicate that hydrogen has favorable effects on the compressive properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy at high strain rate. Compression of Ti-6Al-4V alloy first increases up to a maximum and then decreases with the increase of hydrogen content at the same discharge energy under EMF tests. The compression increases by 47.0% when 0.2% (mass fraction) hydrogen is introduced into Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The optimal hydrogen content for cold formation of Ti–6Al–4V alloy under EMF was determined. The reasons for the hydrogen-induced compressive properties were discussed.

文摘Shell-infill structures comprise an exterior solid shell and an interior lattice infill,whose closed features yield superior comprehensive mechanical performance and light weight.Additive manufacturing(AM)can ensure the fabrica-tion of complex structures.Although the mechanical behaviors of lattice structures have been extensively studied,the corresponding mechanical performances of integrated-manufactured shell structures with lattice infills should be systematically investigated due to the coupling effect of the exterior shell and lattice infill.This study investigated the mechanical properties and energy absorption of AlSi10Mg shell structures with a body-centered cubic lattice infill fabricated by AM.Quasi-static compressive experiments and corresponding finite element analysis were conducted to investigate the mechanical behavior.In addition,two different finite element modeling methods were compared to determine the appropriate modeling strategy in terms of deformation behavior.A study of different parameters,including lattice diameters and shell thicknesses,was conducted to identify their effect on mechanical performance.The results demonstrate the mechanical advantages of shell-infill structures,in which the exterior shell strengthens the lattice infill by up to 2.3 times in terms of the effective Young’s modulus.Increasing the infill strut diameter can improve the specific energy absorption by up to 1.6 times.
文摘Inconel 617 metal honeycombs with designed porosity,cell size and cell morphology were fabricated using fused deposition modelling rapid prototype manufacturing.The microstructure and compression properties of Inconel 617 metal honeycomb were studied.The results indicate that Inconel 617 metal honeycomb structure can be fabricated using fused deposition modelling technique,the processes are simple and the size of honeycomb is controllable.The sintered Inconel 617 honeycombs consist of matrix,γ phase,and grain boundary precipitates,Cr7C3 and M23C6 type carbides.The honeycomb microstructure sintered using fine powder particles are denser than that of coarse powder particles.Yield strength and Young’s modulus increase with the relative density of honeycomb increasing.But the influence of the relative density on Young’s modulus is greater than that of yield strength.

文摘Open-cell nickel foams with different relative densities and pre-stretching degrees were subjected to room temperature quasi-static compressive tests to explore their compressive properties. The compressive properties of the nickel foams including yield strength, elastic modulus, energy absorption density and energy absorption efficiency were calculated accurately. The results show that the compressive properties of yield strength, elastic modulus and energy absorption density increase with the increase of relative density of nickel foams. The compressive properties are sensitive to the pre-stretching degree, and the values of yield strength, elastic modulus and energy absorption density decrease with the increase of pre-stretching degree. However, the energy absorption efficiency at the densification strain state exhibits the independence of relative density and pre-stretching degree. The value of energy absorption efficiency reaches its peak when the strain is at the end of the collapse plateau region.

文摘A new type of Mg-Zn-Y-Nd alloy for degradable orthopedic implants was developed.In the present study,the Zn and Y content was adjusted and their influences on the microstructures and mechanical behaviors were discussed in depth.The results showed that the as-extruded Mg-Zn-Y-Nd alloys are mainly composed of fine dynamic recrystallized grains(DRXed grains),la rge unDRXed grains and linearly distributed secondary phases.The cha nge of Zn content exerts little influence on the grain structure of the extruded Mg-Zn-Y-Nd alloy,while the increase of Y content would hinder the dynamic recrystallization process and the growth of the DRXed grains,thus the size and volume fraction of the equiaxed DRXed grains decrease.The tensile and compressive properties are very little affected by Zn content because of the similar grain structure.As Y content increases,the tensile yield strength(TYS) and ultimate strength(TUS) increase while the elongation decreases,this is caused by a combined strengthening effect of grain refinement,texture,precipitation and twinning.The compressive yield strength(CYS) and ultimate strength(CUS) of Mg-Zn-Y-Nd alloy with diffe rent Y content exhibit a similar tendency as the tensile test.

文摘The microstructure of Mg-8Zn-1Y alloy solidified under super-high pressure was analyzed through X-ray diffraction（XRD）, scanning electron microscopy（SEM） and energy dispersive spectroscopy（EDS）. And, compression deformation behavior at room-temperature was studied. The results showed that the microstructure of Mg-8Zn-1Y alloy solidified under ambient pressure and super-high pressure was both mainly composed of ■-Mg and quasicrystal I-Mg3Zn6 Y. Solidification under super-high pressure contributed to refining solidified microstructure and changing morphology of the intergranular second phase. The morphology of intergranular second phase（quasicrystal I-Mg3Zn6Y） was transformed from continuous network（ambient pressure） to long island（high pressure） and finally to granular（super-high pressure） with the increase in pressure. The compressive strength, yield strength and rupture strain of the samples solidified under ambient pressure were significantly improved from 262.6 MPa, 244.4 MPa and 13.3% to 437.3 MPa, 368.9 MPa and 24.7% under the pressure of 6 GPa, respectively. Under ambient pressure, cleavage plane on compressive fracture was large and smooth. When it was solidified under the pressure ranging from 4 to 6 GPa, cleavage plane on compressive fracture was small and coarse. In addition, dimple, tear ridge and lobate patterns existed.
文摘Semi open-cell aluminum foams having channels between individual cells were produced using low cost CaCO3foamingagent and applying the powder compact melting process.To this end,the aluminum and CaCO3powder mixtures were coldcompacted into dense cylindrical precursors for foaming at specific temperatures under air atmosphere.The effects of severalparameters including precursor compaction pressure,foaming agent content as well as temperature and time of the foaming processon the cell microstructure,linear expansion,relative density and compressive properties were investigated.A uniform distribution ofcells with sizes less than100μm,which form semi open-cell structures with relative densities in the range of55.4%-84.4%,wasobtained.The elevation of compaction pressure between127-318MPa and blowing agent up to15%(mass fraction)led to anincrease in the linear expansion,compressive strength and densification strain.By varying the foaming temperature from800to1000°C,all of the investigated parameters increased except compressive strength and relative density.The results indicated theoptimal foaming temperature and time as900°C and10-25min,respectively.

文摘In the present study,a series of AlCoCrxFeNi2.1(x=0,0.25,0.5,0.75,1.0)eutectic high entropy alloys(EHEAs)have been designed and prepared.And the effect of Cr content on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the AlCoCrxFeNi2.1 alloys was systematically investigated.The results indicate that the AlCoCrxFeNi2.1(x>0)alloys exhibit almost complete lamellar eutectic microstructures with a mixture structure of FCC and B2 phases.And the AlCoFeNi2.1 alloy without Cr element exhibited a hypoeutectic microstructure with a primary B2 phase.In addition,the eutectic microstructures for AlCoCrxFeNi2.1 eutectic alloys do not change significantly.The room temperature compressive tests results show that with an increase in Cr content(from x=0 to x=1.0),the yield strength will first decrease,and thereafter increase.The trend is the opposite with the fracture strength and plastic strain.They show an increase trend at first,and then decrease.The AlCoCr0.5 FeNi2.1(Cr0.5)alloy shows the best comprehensive mechanical properties.The tensile yield strength,fracture strength,and elongation are 536.5 MPa,1062 MPa,and 13.8%,respectively.Furthermore,the Cr0.5 alloy also displays a high strength with a yield strength of 362 MPa at 700℃.In summary,by changing the Cr content,AlCoCrxFeNi2.1 eutectic high entropy alloys with excellent comprehensive mechanical properties were obtained and prepared.

文摘The effects of Ti additions and the heat treatment on the mechanical properties of AlCoCrFeNiTix （x = 0, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5） high-entropy alloys （HEAs） were studied. The results show that the dendrite phase with a body-centered-cubic （bcc） structure transforms into the interdendrite phase with a new bcc structure. With the increase of the Ti contents and heat-treatment temperature, the average hardness and yield strengths are greatly improved, and the highest hardness and yielding strength are 583 HV and 2.07 GPa, respectively in the investigated HEA system. The as-cast and annealed HEAs exhibit excellent mechanical properties, combining with high yielding strength and plasticity. The solid solution strengthening mechanism of Ti additions is responsible for the strengthening effect of AlCoCrFeNiTix HEAs.

文摘In our current work,AZ31 magnesium alloy foams with closed-cell were successfully fabricated by melt foaming method using Ca and CaCO3 as thickening and blowing agent,respectively.The influences of porosity and pore size on the quasi-static compressive properties of the foams were systematically investigated.The results showed that the yield strength,energy absorption capacity and ideality energy absorption efficiency were decreased with the increase in porosity.However,specimens with porosities of 60%,65%and 70%possessed similar total energy absorption capacity and ideality energy absorption efficiency.Meanwhile,experimental results showed that mean plateau strength of the foams was increased first and then decreased with increase in mean pore size.In addition,energy absorption capacities were almost the same in the initial stage,while the differences were obvious in the middle stage.From the engineering point of view,the specimens with mean pore size of 1.5 mm possess good combination of mean plateau strength and energy absorption characteristics under the present conditions.

文摘Ti43Al and Ti47Al alloys with different contents of zirconium were prepared by non-consumable vacuum arc melting furnace.The microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated.The results showed that Zr had no obvious effect on microstructure morphology of Ti43Al,while that of Ti47Al was modified from dendrites into equiaxed grains.The addition of Zr could refine the grains.Zr promoted the formation ofγphase significantly and the solubility values of Zr inγphase were 12.0%and 5.0%(molar fraction)in Ti43Al and Ti47Al,respectively.Zr-richγphase mainly formed throughβ→γin Ti43Al-xZr(molar fraction,%)andβ→α→γin Ti47Al-xZr(molar fraction,%).Fine-grain strengthening and solution strengthening were beneficial to improving the compressive strength while severe micro-segregation was detrimental to compressive properties.Large solubility of Zr was bad for ductility of alloys as well.The maximum compressive strengths of Ti43Al-xZr and Ti47Al-xZr were 1684.82 MPa(x=5.0%)and 2158.03 MPa(x=0.5%),respectively.The compressive strain fluctuated slightly in Ti43Al-xZr and reached the maximum value of 35.24%(x=0.5%)in Ti47Al-xZr.Both alloys showed brittle fracture.

文摘Thermohydrogen processing can enhance workability, decrease flow stress and deforming tempera- ture of titanium alloys. In this study, thermohydrogen processing was carried out for metastable β-type TB8 alloy. The microstructures of hydrogenated TB8 alloy were investigated based on scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, transmission electronic microscopy （TEM） as well as X-ray diffraction （XRD） analysis. The results reveal that 6 hydride phase forms in the hydrogenated TB8 alloy, but the amount of β phase increases with hydrogen content increasing. Single β phase appears when the hydrogen content reaches 0.7 wt%. The alloying elements redistrib- ute in the hydrogenated TB8 alloy, and hydrogen leads to the reduction of the alloying elements in β phase. The room-temperature compression tests were performed on a MTS809 machine. It is found that the room-temperature yield strength of hydrogenated TB8 alloy decreases. And minimum yield strength is obtained at a hydrogen content of 0.5 wt%. The ductility does not decrease within 0.7 wt% hydrogen content. These results provide theoretical basis for improving the formability and promoting the applica- tions of TB8 alloy.

文摘Five equiatomic alloys(Ti Zr Hf VNb, Ti Zr Hf VTa, Ti Zr Nb Mo V, Ti Zr Hf Mo V and Zr Nb Mo Hf V) composed of five elements with high melting temperature, respectively were prepared by arc-melting to develop a novel high temperature alloy. The five alloys exhibit different dendritic and interdendritic morphologies. The Ti Zr Hf VNb, Ti Zr Hf VTa and Ti Zr Nb Mo V alloys formed disordered solid solution phases with body-centered cubic structure, and exhibited high compressive strength and good plasticity. The Ti Zr Hf Mo V and Zr Nb Mo Hf V alloys are composed with Laves phase(Hf Mo2) and disordered solid solution phases with body-centered cubic structure. The Ti Zr Hf Mo V and Zr Nb Mo Hf V alloys are harder and more brittle than the other three alloys due to the existence of hard and brittle Laves phases. At high temperatures, the strength decreases to below 300 MPa for the Ti Zr Hf VNb and Ti Zr Hf Mo V alloys. Solution strengthening is the primary strengthening mechanism of the Ti Zr Hf VNb, Ti Zr Hf VTa and Ti Zr Nb Mo V alloys, and brittle Laves phase is the main cause for the low ductility of the Ti Zr Hf Mo V and Zr Nb Mo Hf V alloys.
