The impact of retained austenite on its corrosion behavior with immersion experiments and related corrosion sensor technology was explored. A model that clarifies the micro-galvanic effect and the heat-induced changes to the shape and composition of retained austenite was used to discuss the findings. The results indicated that retained austenite was generated following an intercritical process and demonstrated approximately 48 mV higher Volta potential than the matrix. The retained austenite content first increased and then decreased with increasing intercritical temperatures, while reaching the maximum value of 8.5% at 660℃. With the increase in retained austenite content, the corrosion rate was increased by up to 32.8% compared to “quenching + tempering” (QT) specimen. The interfaces between the retained austenite and matrix were the priority nucleation sites for corrosion. Moreover, the retained austenite reduced the corrosion resistance of the steel by increasing the micro-galvanic effect and reducing rust layer compactness.展开更多

文摘Measuring the lifecycle of low-carbon energy technologies is critical to better understanding the innovation pattern.However,previous studies on lifecycle either focus on technical details or just provide a general overview,due to the lack of connection with innovation theories.This article attempts to fill this gap by analyzing the lifecycle from a combinatorial innovation perspective,based on patent data of ten low-carbon energy technologies in China from 1999 to 2018.The problem of estimating lifecycle stages can be transformed into analyzing the rise and fall of knowledge combinations.By building the international patent classification(IPC)co-occurrence matrix,this paper demonstrates the lifecycle evolution of technologies and develops an efficient quantitative index to define lifecycle stages.The mathematical measurement can effectively reflect the evolutionary pattern of technologies.Additionally,this article relates the macro evolution of lifecycle to the micro dynamic mechanism of technology paradigms.The sign of technology maturity is that new inventions tend to follow the patterns established by prior ones.Following this logic,this paper identifies different trends of paradigms in each technology field and analyze their transition.Furthermore,catching-up literature shows that drastic transformation of technology paradigms may open“windows of opportunity”for laggard regions.From the results of this paper,it is clear to see that latecomers can catch up with pioneers especially when there is a radical change in paradigms.Therefore,it is important for policy makers to capture such opportunities during the technology lifecycle and coordinate regional innovation resources.
文摘Corrosion is an essential issue limiting the application of high-strength low-carbon steel in seawater environment. The impact of retained austenite on its corrosion behavior with immersion experiments and related corrosion sensor technology was explored. A model that clarifies the micro-galvanic effect and the heat-induced changes to the shape and composition of retained austenite was used to discuss the findings. The results indicated that retained austenite was generated following an intercritical process and demonstrated approximately 48 mV higher Volta potential than the matrix. The retained austenite content first increased and then decreased with increasing intercritical temperatures, while reaching the maximum value of 8.5% at 660℃. With the increase in retained austenite content, the corrosion rate was increased by up to 32.8% compared to “quenching + tempering” (QT) specimen. The interfaces between the retained austenite and matrix were the priority nucleation sites for corrosion. Moreover, the retained austenite reduced the corrosion resistance of the steel by increasing the micro-galvanic effect and reducing rust layer compactness.

文摘With the intensification of the energy crisis and the worsening greenhouse effect,the development of sustainable integrated energy systems(IES)has become a crucial direction for energy transition.In this context,this paper proposes a low-carbon economic dispatch strategy under the green hydrogen certificate trading(GHCT)and the ladder-type carbon emission trading(CET)mechanism,enabling the coordinated utilization of green and blue hydrogen.Specifically,a proton exchange membrane electrolyzer(PEME)model that accounts for dynamic efficiency characteristics,and a steam methane reforming(SMR)model incorporating waste heat recovery,are developed.Based on these models,a hydrogen production–storage–utilization framework is established to enable the coordinated deployment of green and blue hydrogen.Furthermore,the gas turbine(GT)unit are retrofitted using oxygenenriched combustion carbon capture(OCC)technology,wherein the oxygen produced by PEME is employed to create an oxygen-enriched combustion environment.This approach reduces energy waste and facilitates low-carbon power generation.In addition,the GHCT mechanism is integrated into the system alongside the ladder-type CET mechanism,and their complementary effects are investigated.A comprehensive optimization model is then formulated to simultaneously achieve carbon reduction and economic efficiency across the system.Case study results show that the proposed strategy reduces wind curtailment by 7.77%,carbon emissions by 65.98%,and total cost by 12.57%.This study offers theoretical reference for the low-carbon,economic,and efficient operation of future energy systems.
文摘Supply chain partnerships are an essential component of business innovations.This study uses data on A-share listed companies on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges from 2012 to 2022 to conduct a multi-period difference-in-differences analysis based on a list of green supply chain management(GSM)companies.We find that GSM significantly promotes low-carbon technology innovations(LCT)of upstream enterprises.The mechanism analysis indicates that GSM has a resource effect and signal effect that generate LCT spillovers.In terms of the resource effect,GSM companies offer green credit and support green procurement,thereby providing financial support for green investments in upstream LCT.In terms of a signaling effect,GSM strengthens the effectiveness of institutional investors,the public,and online media in supervising upstream suppliers’green credentials,thereby promoting upstream LCT.A heterogeneity analysis shows that when midstream companies are state-owned enterprises or industry leaders,and when the concentration and stability of supply chain purchase relationships are higher,the LCT spillover effects of GSM are more pronounced.Further analysis reveals that GSM has bidirectional horizontal spillover effects and that upstream unidirectional vertical spillover effects are limited to first-level suppliers.Additionally,under the premise of not compromising economic benefits and stability,GSM shows an emerging trend of transitioning from environmentally compliant“light green”supply chains to“deep green”supply chains focused on pollution reduction,carbon reduction,and energy conservation.
