文摘Strength and ductility synergy in an Mg-3mass%Al-Mn(AM30)alloy sheet was successfully improved via twin-roll casting and annealing at low-temperature.An AM30 alloy sheet produced by twin-roll casting,homogenization,hot-rolling,and subsequent annealing at 170℃ for 64 h exhibits a good 0.2%proof stress of 170 MPa and a large elongation to failure of 33.1%along the rolling direction.The sheet also shows in-plane isotropic tensile properties,and the 0.2%proof stress and elongation to failure along the transverse direction are 176 MPa and 35.5%,respectively.Though the sheet produced by direct-chill casting also shows moderate strengths if the annealing condition is same,the direct-chill casting leads to the deteriorated elongation to failure of 23.9%and 30.0%for the rolling and transverse directions,respectively.As well as such excellent tensile properties,a high room-temperature stretch formability with an Index Erichsen value of 8.3 mm could be obtained in the twin-roll cast sheet annealed at 170℃ for 64 h.The annealing at a higher temperature further improves the stretch formability;however,this results in the decrease of the tensile properties.Microstructure characterization reveals that the excellent combination of strengths,ductility,and stretch formability in the twin-roll cast sheet annealed at the low-temperature annealing is mainly attributed to the uniform recrystallized microstructure,fine grain size,and circular distribution of(0001)poles away from the normal direction of the sheet.

文摘The effectiveness of Ca or Gd addition on ductility and formability of Mg-Zn-Zr based dilute alloys in deep drawing has not been systematically compared previously.In this study,formable Mg-Zn-Gd-Zr and Mg-Zn-Ca-Zr sheet alloys are produced by hot rolling.These sheets have similarly weakened basal texture,but the sheet of the Mg-Zn-Gd-Zr alloys has higher ductility and formability than that of Mg-Zn-Ca-Zr alloys.The combined addition of 0.2wt%Ca and 0.4wt%Gd to the Mg-1Zn-0.5Zr(wt%)alloy leads to a Mg-1Zn-0.4Gd-0.2Ca-0.5Zr alloy that has even better ductility,and its formability during deep drawing is comparable to the benchmark Al6016 sheet.An increase in Ca content from 0.2wt%to 0.5wt%leads to decreased sheet ductility and formability,predominantly due to grain boundary embrittlement.

文摘This work aims to reveal the actual effect of Zn and Ca additions on tensile properties and bendability of a recently designed Mg-3Al-0.2Mn(mass%,AM30)sheet with high formability.We fabricated AM30 and Mg-3Al-0.8Zn-0.5Ca-0.2Mn(mass%,AZXM3100)sheets with weakly aligned(0001)poles.Their deformation behaviors were thoroughly investigated using electron backscattered diffraction and crystal plasticity simulation.We found that the Zn and Ca additions were not effective in improving the ductility and formability.Both the sheets showed large elongation to failure of~30% in tension,and their maximum bending angles during three-point bending were~90°.In-depth characterization of the deformation behaviors revealed that the Zn and Ca additions slightly facilitated tensile twinning,and the activity of the non-basal prismatic slip did not increase in the AZXM3100.Moreover,the Al_(2)Ca phase,which was formed in the AZXM3100,promoted the formation and propagation of cracks by concentrating plastic deformation.Therefore,ductility and formability could not be improved even after the Zn and Ca additions.

文摘The development of biochar-based granule-like adsorbents suitable for scaled-up application has been attracting increasing attention in the field of water treatment.Herein,a new formable porous granulated biochar loaded with La-Fe(hydr)oxides/montmorillonite(LaFe/MB)was fabricated via a granulation and pyrolysis process for enhanced phosphorus(P)removal from wastewater.Montmorillonite acted as a binder that increased the size of the granulated biochar,while the use of Fe promoted the surface charge and facilitated the dispersion of La,which was responsible for selective phosphate removal.LaFe/MB exhibited rapid phosphate adsorption kinetics and a high maximum adsorption capacity(Langmuir model,52.12 mg P g^(−1)),which were better than those of many existing granulated materials.The desorption and recyclability experiments showed that LaFe/MB could be regenerated,and maintained 76.7%of its initial phosphate adsorption capacity after four adsorption cycles.The high hydraulic endurance strength retention rate of the developed material(91.6%)suggested high practical applicability in actual wastewater.Electro-static attraction,surface precipitation,and inner-sphere complexation via ligand exchange were found to be involved in selective P removal over a wide pH range of 3-9.The thermodynamic parameters were determined,which revealed the feasibility and spontaneity of adsorption.Based on approximate site energy distribution analyses,high distribution frequency contributed to efficient P removal.The research results provide a new insight that LaFe/MB shows great application prospects for advanced phosphate removal from wastewater.

文摘Rolled Mg-Al-Sn series alloys generally possess limited formability due to the formation of strong basal texture.Texture weakening is an effective way to enhance formability,but usually accompanied with decreasing strength.In this work,synergistic enhancement of strength and formability is achieved in a Mg-3Al-1Sn-0.5Ca-0.1Sm(ATXS3110)alloy by 0.2 wt.%Mn addition combined with high temperature rolling,exhibiting a high index Erichsen(I.E.)value of~8.1 mm and near-isotropic mechanical properties.On one hand,after Mn addition,the grain refinement from~7.6μm to~4.1μm results in suppression of extension twinning,thereby preventing the development of strong basal texture upon stretch forming.On the other hand,trace Mn addition narrows the grain size distribution and promotes the formation of uniform fine grains,which induces homogeneous deformation during stretch forming.Moreover,grain refinement and high-density nano-sized precipitates caused by trace Mn addition increase the strength.This work may provide insights into designing low-cost Mg-Al-Sn series alloys with superior comprehensive mechanical properties for further structural applications.
文摘Magnesium is at a crossroads,facing significant opportuni-ties and challenges.On one hand,its unique properties-such as low density,high strength-to-weight ratio,and excellent castability-position it as a key material for lightweighting in automotive[1,2],aerospace[3,4],and consumer electronics[4,5].On the other hand,challenges such as limited corro-sion resistance,poor formability at room temperature,and a reliance on energy-intensive extraction processes impede its widespread adoption.Despite the steady increase of magne-sium research and production in the last three decades,its growth in recent years has stalled in almost all regions of the world.

文摘In this work,a good balance of strength and ductility(a yield strength of 185 MPa and a uniform elongation of 20%)has been obtained in a dilute Mg-1.8Zn-0.3Y-0.3Ca-0.3Zr(wt.%)alloy using hard plate rolling(HPR)followed by annealing,with a low anisotropy in mechanical properties.More importantly,the HPR-annealed alloy shows an excellent formability at the same time,i.e.,the index Erichsen(I.E.)value reaches 7.9 mm(the Erichsen cupping test)at room temperature,which is higher compared with the Mg-1.8Zn-0.3Y-0.3Ca0.3Zr alloy produced by conventional multi-pass rolling(CR)followed by annealing.The excellent synergy of strength and formability of the HPR-annealed alloy is mainly attributed to a weak elliptical ring texture,as well as finer and denser Zn_(2)Zr_(3)precipitates.The formation of weak elliptical ring texture is related to the preferential co-segregation of Zn and Ca elements at boundaries of basal grains with smal misorientation angles during annealing,which inhibits the growth of basal grains and promotes the preferential growth of non-basal grains At the same time,in comparison with the CR-annealed alloy,the HPR-annealed alloy contains finer and denser Zn_(2)Zr_(3)precipitates that ar less likely to become sources of cracks,leading to the higher strength and formability of the HPR-annealed alloy.The results in this work can provide reference for the development of high strength Mg alloy sheets with excellent room temperature formability,which also shed light on mitigating planar anisotropy in mechanical properties for Mg alloy sheets.

文摘This study involved the development of an interpretable prediction framework to access the stretch formability of AZ31 magnesium alloys through the combination of the extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost)model with the sparrow search algorithm(SSA).Eleven features were extracted from the microstructures(e.g.,grain size(GS),maximum pole intensity(I_(max)),degree of texture dispersion(μ),radius of maximum pole position(r),and angle of maximum pole position(A)),mechanical properties(e.g.,tensile yield strength(TYS),ultimate tensile strength(UTS),elongation-to-failure(EL),and strength difference(∆S))and test conditions(e.g.,sheet thickness(t)and punch speed(v))in the data collected from the literature and experiments.Pearson correlation coefficient and exhaustive screening methods identified ten key features(not including UTS)as the final inputs,and they enhanced the prediction accuracy of Index Erichsen(IE),which served as the model’s output.The newly developed SSA-XGBoost model exhibited an improved prediction performance,with a goodness of fit(R^(2))of 0.91 compared with traditional machine learning models.A new dataset(four samples)was prepared to validate the reliability and generalization capacity of this model,and below 5%errors were observed between predicted and experimental IE values.Based on this result,the quantitative relationship between the key features and IE values was established via Shapley additive explanation method and XGBoost feature importance analysis.I_(max),TYS,EL,r,GS,andΔS showed a crucial influence on the IE of 10 input features.This work offers a reliable and accurate tool for the prediction of the stretch formability of AZ31 magnesium alloys and provides insights into the development of high-formable magnesium alloys.

文摘In the present study,two-layered stainless steel-copper composites with a thickness of 50μm were initially subjected to annealing at 800,900 and 1000℃for 5 min,respectively,to achieve diverse microstructural features.Then the influence of annealing temperature on the formability of stainless steel-copper composites and the quality of micro composite cups manufactured by micro deep drawing(MDD)were investigated,and the underlying mechanism was analyzed.Three finite element(FE)models,including basic FE model,Voronoi FE model and surface morphological FE model,were developed to analyze the forming performance of stainless steel-copper composites during MDD.The results show that the stainless steel-copper composites annealed at 900℃possess the best plasticity owing to the homogeneous and refined microstructure in both stainless steel and copper matrixes,and the micro composite cup with specimen annealed at 900℃exhibits a uniform wall thickness as well as high surface quality with the fewest wrinkles.The results obtained from the surface morphological FE model considering material inhomogeneity and surface morphology of the composites are the closest to the experimental results compared to the basic and Voronoi FE model.During MDD process,the drawing forces decrease with increasing annealing temperature as a consequence of the strength reduction.

文摘Poor formability is a key problem that limits the application of flame-retardant Mg-Al-Ca based alloys at room temperature.In this study,we present a new Mg-6Al-3Ca-0.4Mn-2Zn(wt%)alloy which exhibits excellent flame-retardant performance and excellent formability.Due to the high Ca content,the Mg-6Al-3Ca-0.4Mn-2Zn(wt%)alloy does not burn at 1065℃.The formability of the alloys is measured using a three-point bending test,and the Mg-6Al-3Ca-0.4Mn-2Zn(wt%)alloy shows excellent formability,with a significant increase in bending displacement from 7.1 mm to 23.8 mm compared to the Mg-6Al-3Ca-0.4Mn(wt%)alloy.The combined effect of the weakened basal texture,the reduction of twins and the plastically deformable Al2Ca phase particles ensures good formability of the Mg-6Al-3Ca-0.4Mn-2Zn(wt%)alloy.The dynamic recrystallization mechanisms of the alloys have been analyzed,and the promotion of dynamic recrystallization by the PSN mechanism is responsible for the weakened basal texture and the reduction of twins in the Mg-6Al-3Ca-0.4Mn-2Zn(wt%)alloy.The new Mg alloy is attractive for industrial applications due to its excellent flame-retardant performance and formability.

文摘This work investigates how temperature and microstructural evolution affect the formability of face-centered cubic(fcc)structured CoCrFeNiMn_(0.75)Cu_(0.25) high entropy alloy(HEA)sheets under complex stress conditions.Erichsen cupping tests were conducted to quantitatively evaluate the deformation capacity at room temperature(298 K)and cryogenic temperatures.The findings reveal a strong temperature dependence on the formability of the HEA.A decrease in the deformation temperature from 298 to 93 K causes a significant increase in both the Erichsen index(IE)(from 9.8 to 12.4 mm)and the expansion rate(δ)of surface area(from 51.6%to 76.3%),as well as a reduction in the average deviation(η)of thickness(from 55.1%to 44.4%),signifying its ultrahigh formability and uniform deformation capability at cryogenic temperature.This enhancement is attributed to the transition in the deformation mechanism from single dislocation slip at 298 K to a cooperative of plastic deformation mechanisms at 93 K,involving dislocation slip,stacking faults(SFs),Lomer-Cottrell(L-C)locks and multi-scale nanotwins.The lower stacking fault energy of the alloy facilitates these deformation mechanisms,particularly the formation of SFs and nanotwins,which enhance ductility and strength by providing additional pathways for plastic deformation.These mechanisms collectively contribute to delaying plastic instability,thereby improving the overall formability.This work provides a comprehensive understanding of the underlying reasons for the enhanced formability of HEAs at cryogenic temperatures,offering valuable insights for their practical use in challenging environments.

文摘CAB is a binder commonly utilized in CL-20-based mixed explosives.Based on the requirements of CL-20-based polymer bonded explosives in formability,safety,and detonation energy,we explored a hightoughness and low dosage CAB binder system.CAB was subjected to different toughening modifications and the effects of the modified CAB binders on the bonding and coating of CL-20 crystals,as well as the formability,safety,and mechanical properties of CL-20-based polymer bonded explosive molding powder(MP)were evaluated.The changes in glass transition temperature(Tg)and mechanical properties of the modified binders were investigated using the molecular dynamics simulation at first.A series of modified binders with different molecular weights were then synthesized and characterized by FTIR,1H NMR,^(13)C NMR and SEC.The T_(g) and cross-sectional morphologies of the binder membranes were determined by DSC and SEM.The tensile properties of the binder membranes with different molecular weights and their mixtures with the plasticizer were evaluated at different temperature.With the optimized modified binder,CL-20/CAB and CL-20/CAB-g-PCL-3 MPs with the same plasticizer ratio and Cl-20/CAB-g-PCL-3 MP with a lower plasticizer ratio and higher CL-20 content were prepared and evaluated for the bonding and coating effects,crystal form,mechanical sensitivity and specific heat capacity(C_(p))by SEM,XRD,sensitivity testing and DSC,respectively.Their compressive strengths and splitting tensile strengths were measured at different temperature using a universal testing machine.Our work has provided a high-toughness and low-dosage binder system for CL-20-based MPs and offers a novel strategy to improve the formability,safety,and energy of CL-20 based polymer bonded explosives.

文摘The microstructure and properties of a 1030B Al strip were improved by applying ultrasonic melt treatment(UMT)in a Hazelett continuous casting direct rolling production line.The microstructure and properties of the 1030B Al strip were investigated by scanning electron microscopy,electron backscatter diffraction,and tensile testing.Applying UMT reduced the average grain size of the as-cast sheet by more than 28.0%with respect to that of the normal samples without UMT.When UMT was applied,the rolled strip inherited the refined grains from the as-cast sheet with an average grain size smaller than 63.0μm.Meanwhile,the dislocation density was increased by the grain refinement,dynamic recovery,and recrystallization during rolling.Accordingly,the strain-hardening rates of the rolled samples after UMT were generally higher than those of the normal samples,and the strength of the rolled strip was also improved.Furthermore,the rolled strip exhibited better formability with higher strain-hardening exponents and Erichsen index values.

文摘In recent years,modification of texture distribution has been considered a valid approach to improve the room-temperature(RT)formability of magnesium(Mg)alloys.In this study,a novel Mgsingle bond2Znsingle bond3Lisingle bond1Gd alloy sheet with weak elliptical-texture was fabricated by cold rolling and subsequent annealing,and it showed an excellent Erichsen(IE)value near 7.1 mm.Both quasi-in-situ electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD)and transmission electron microscopy(TEM)analysis indicate that considerable basal and pyramidal dislocations can be activated in the cold rolling process.During annealing,these dislocations can induce nucleation and then cause preferential misorientation relationships around〈uvt0〉concerning the nuclei and parent grains,which can facilitate the formation of elliptical texture.Furthermore,the particle-stimulated nucleation(PSN)mechanism and the co-segregation of Zn and Gd at grain boundaries(GB)further weak texture intensity.Finally,the mechanical properties of the Mgsingle bond2Znsingle bond3Lisingle bond1Gd alloy sheet are significantly improved.

文摘Over the years,the high magnetic induction of industrial Mn-added electrical steel is assumed to be the enhancement of{100}texture derived from its austenite-ferrite phase transformation during hot rolling(phase transformation(PT)method).However,it is still undetermined without straightforward experimental evidence.The reason for{100}texture improvement of Mn-added electrical steel is experimentally confirmed due to the recrystallization induced by the austenite-ferrite phase transformation during hot rolling.Moreover,a more promising methodology to further improve{100}texture and formability of hot-rolled electrical steel is promoted by the control of hot rolling deformation condition(shear deformation(SD)method).The results show that the nucleation mechanisms of{100}oriented recrystallized grains are different in the samples by SD and PT methods,which are in-depth shear deformation and austenite-ferrite phase transformation,respectively.In this case,coarse{100}oriented recrystallized grains and low residual stress are obtained in the sample by SD method,which is responsible for its superior{100}texture and formability.In contrast,the sample by PT method forms fine recrystallized grains with random orientations and accumulates severe residual stress.

文摘As a cathode material for thermal batteries,NiS_(2)has a high theoretical capacity but low thermal stability.Besides,the poor formability of NiS_(2)powders also restricts the cathode performance of thermal batteries.In this paper,the novel NiS_(2)/SiO_(2)composite material was developed by high temperature vulcanization to improve the thermal stability formability of NiS_(2).The good filling and lubrication of spherical SiO_(2)can improve the thermal conductivity of NiS_(2)electrode.The discharge test shows that the NiS_(2)/SiO_(2)cathode has a stable discharge voltage at a current density of 200 mA/cm^(2),and the activation time is shortened by nearly 20%compared with the NiS_(2)cathode.In addition,due to the favorable thermal insulation protection of SiO_(2),the initial decomposition temperature of NiS_(2)is increased by 30℃after the addition of SiO_(2).The incorporation of SiO_(2)not only effectively improves the thermal stability and electrochemical properties of NiS_(2),but also improves the cold pressing forming performance of the NiS_(2)powder.Therefore,the novel NiS_(2)/SiO_(2)composite material is more suitable for thermal batteries with high stability and fast response,which is of great significance for improving the maneuverability and quality reliability of weapons and equipment.

文摘The effects of Al(Fe,Mn)Si particles controlled by different hot-rolling deformations on the microstructure evolution,texture evolution,and formabilities of Al−Mg−Si−Zn alloy were systematically investigated using OM,SEM,TEM,XRD,and tensile tests.The results indicate that Al(Fe,Mn)Si particles with different size and number distribution characteristics can be obtained by adjusting the hot-rolling deformation degree(59%,74%and 87%),and these differences in particle distribution are the main factors affecting the recrystallization nucleation and grain growth during solution treatment.After T4P treatment,the grain orientations in the Al−Mg−Si−Zn alloy sheets with 59%and 74%hot-rolling deformation tend to be randomly distributed.In comparison,the sheet with 87%hot-rolling deformation consists of R{124}<211>,CubeND{100}<013>,Copper{112}<111>and Brass{011}<211>texture components.The medium size and number of Al(Fe,Mn)Si particles obtained at 74%hot-rolling deformation cause fine grains and randomly distributed texture,which significantly improves the formability of Al−Mg−Si−Zn alloy.

文摘In this study,the effects of pre-strain-induced tensile twins(TTWs)and controlled heat treatment on the formability behavior of AZX311 Mg alloy sheets were investigated.A 4%compressive strain was applied to pre-strain the sheets using the in-plane compression(IPC)technique along the rolling direction(RD)to introduce TTWs.The pre-strained(PS)samples were subsequently heat-treated at 250℃,350℃,and 400℃ independently for 1 hr,and are termed as PSA1,PSA2,and PSA3,respectively.Erichsen cupping tests were conducted to assess the formability of the sheet samples under different initial conditions.The results showed that the PS sample heat-treated at 250℃ for 1hr exhibited a decrease in the Erichsen index(IE)compared to the as-rolled sample,whereas PSA2 and PSA3 samples showed an increase in IE values.Microtexture analysis revealed that most of the TTWs generated through pre-twinning were stable at 250℃;however,the twin volume fraction reduced to 41%at 350℃ compared to the PS samples due to enhanced thermal activity at that temperature.Furthermore,PSA2 samples showed severe grain coarsening in some areas of the sample,and the fraction of such grains increased in the PSA3 samples.The stretch formability(IE value)of PSA2 samples showed a 32.3%increase compared to the as-rolled specimens.Additionally,the analysis of the deformed specimen at failure under the Erichsen test indicated that considerable detwinning occurs in the PS and PSA1 samples,whereas dislocation slip activity dominates in the PSA2 and PSA3 samples during stretch forming.Apart from detwinning and dislocation slip,deformation twins were also observed in all samples after the Erichsen test.Thus,this work highlights the importance of texture control and its underlying mechanisms via pre-twinning followed by heat treatment and their impact on the room temperature(RT)stretch formability of AZX311 Mg alloy sheets.

文摘Low-alloyed magnesium(Mg)alloys have emerged as one of the most promising candidates for lightweight materials.However,their further application potential has been hampered by limitations such as low strength,poor plasticity at room temperature,and unsatisfactory formability.To address these challenges,grain refinement and grain structure control have been identified as crucial factors to achieving high performance in low-alloyed Mg alloys.An effective way for regulating grain structure is through grain boundary(GB)segregation.This review presents a comprehensive summary of the distribution criteria of segregated atoms and the effects of solute segregation on grain size and growth in Mg alloys.The analysis encompasses both single element segregation and multi-element co-segregation behavior,considering coherent interfaces and incoherent interfaces.Furthermore,we introduce the high mechanical performance low-alloyed wrought Mg alloys that utilize GB segregation and analyze the potential impact mechanisms through which GB segregation influences materials properties.Drawing upon these studies,we propose strategies for the design of high mechanical performance Mg alloys with desirable properties,including high strength,excellent ductility,and good formability,achieved through the implementation of GB segregation.The findings of this review contribute to advancing the understanding of grain boundary engineering in Mg alloys and provide valuable insights for future alloy design and optimization.
