文摘Theβsolidifiedγ-TiAl alloy holds important application value in the aerospace industry,while its com-plex phase compositions and geometric structures pose challenges to its microstructure control during the thermal-mechanical process.The microstructure evolution of Ti-43Al-4Nb-1Mo-0.2B alloy at 1200℃/0.01 s−1 was investigated to clarify the coupling role of dynamic recrystallization(DRX)and phase transformation.The results revealed that the rate of DRX inα2+γlamellar colonies was comparatively slower than that inβo+γmixed structure,instead being accompanied by intense lamellar kinking and rotation.The initiation and development rates of DRX inα2,βo,andγphases decreased sequentially.The asynchronous DRX of the various geometric structures and phase compositions resulted in the un-even deformed microstructure,and the dynamic softening induced by lamellar kinking and rotation was replaced by strengthened DRX as strain increased.Additionally,the blockyα2 phase and the terminals ofα2 lamellae were the preferential DRX sites owing to the abundant activated slip systems.Theα2→βo transformation within lamellar colonies facilitated DRX and fragment ofα2 lamellae,while theα2→γtransformation promoted the decomposition ofα2 lamellae and DRX ofγlamellae.Moreover,the var-iedβo+γmixed structures underwent complicated evolution:(1)Theγ→βo transformation occurred at boundaries of lamellar colonies,followed by simultaneous DRX ofγlamellar terminals and neighboringβo phase;(2)DRX occurred earlier within the band-likeβo phase,with the delayed DRX in enclosedγphase;(3)DRX within theβo synapses and neighboringγphase was accelerated owing to generation of elastic stress field;(4)Dispersedβo particles triggered particle stimulated nucleation(PSN)ofγphase.Eventually,atomic diffusion along crystal defects inβo andγphases caused fracture of band-likeβo phase and formation of massiveβo particles,impeding grain boundary migration and hindering DRXed grain growth ofγphase.

文摘The intermetallic compounds based on the tetragonal ThMn_(12) prototype crystal structure have exhibited great potential as advanced rare-earth-lean permanent magnets due to their excellent intrinsic magnetic properties.However,the trade-off between the phase stability and the magnetic performance is often encountered in the ThMn_(12)-type magnets.This work was focused on the effects of V doping and nanos-tructuring on the phase stability and magnetic properties of ThMn_(12)-type Sm-Co-based magnets.Novel SmCo_(12)-based nanocrystalline alloys with the SmCo_(12) main phase were prepared for the first time.The prepared alloys from the optimal design achieved obviously higher coercivity than the isotropic SmFe_(12)-based alloys,together with comparable performance of other magnetic features.The enhancement in the coercivity was ascribed to the pinning of domain walls by the nanocrystalline grain boundaries and stacking faults.First-principles calculations and magnetic structure analysis disclosed that V substitution can stabilize the SmCo_(12) lattice and elevate its magnetocrystalline anisotropy.This study provides a new approach to developing stabilized metastable structured rare-earth-lean alloys with high magnetic per-formance.

文摘We adopted the solution impregnation route with aluminum dihydrogen phosphate solution as liquid medium for effective surface modification on graphite substrate.The mass ratio of graphite to Al(H_(2)PO_(4))_(3) changed from 0.5:1 to 4:1,and the impregnation time changed from 1 to 7 h.The typical composite phase change thermal storage materials doped with the as-treated graphite were fabricated using form-stable technique.To investigate the oxidation and anti-oxidation behavior of the impregnated graphite at high temperatures,the samples were put into a muffle furnace for a cyclic heat test.Based on SEM,EDS,DSC techniques,analyses on the impregnated technique suggested an optimized processing conditions of a 3 h impregnation time with the ratio of graphite:Al(H_(2)PO_(4))_(3) as 1:3 for graphite impregnation treatment.Further investigations on high-temperature phase change heat storage materials doped by the treated graphite suggested excellent oxidation resistance and thermal cycling performance.

文摘Hydrogen-based mineral phase transformation(HMPT)technology has demonstrated its effectiveness in separating iron and enriching rare earths from Bayan Obo refractory ores.However,further research is needed to clarify the phase composition and floatability of rare earths obtained after HMPT owing to the associated phase transformations.This study explored the mineralogical characteristics and separation behavior of rare earths in HMPT-treated iron tailings.Process mineralogy studies conducted via BGRIMM process mineralogy analysis and X-ray diffraction revealed that the main valuable minerals in the tailings included rare-earth oxides(9.15wt%),monazite(5.31wt%),and fluorite(23.52wt%).The study also examined the impact of mineral liberation and gangue mineral intergrowth on flotation performance.Flotation tests achieved a rare-earth oxide(REO)grade of 74.12wt% with a recovery of 34.17% in open-circuit flotation,whereas closed-circuit flotation resulted in a REO grade of 60.27wt% with a recovery of 73%.Transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive spectroscopy revealed that monazite remained stable during the HMPT process,while bastnaesite was transformed into Ce_(7)O_(12)and CeF_(3),leading to increased collector consumption.Nonetheless,the HMPT process did not significantly affect the flotation performance of rare earths.The enrichment of fluorite in the tailings highlighted its further recovery potential.The integration of HMPT with magnetic separation and flotation presents an efficient strategy for recovering rare earths,iron,and fluorite from Bayan Obo ores.

文摘A series of Al-xSi-yGe filler metals(x=4–12 and y=10–40,wt%)were prepared,and the effect of Si and Ge on microstructure and melting characteristics of filler metals was studied.The thermodynamic model of Al-Si-Ge ternary alloy was established to analyze the phase formation mechanism of filler metals based on Miedema model,Tanaka model,and Toop equation.This research provided a basis for the composition optimization of filler metals and the analysis of metallurgical reaction process between filler metals and base materials.Results show that Al-Si-Ge alloy is composed of Al-Ge eutectic phase,Al-Si eutectic phase,and primary Si.Ge addition promotes the precipitation of primary Si.Ge is the main melting point depressant element of filler metals.With the increase in Ge content from 10wt%to 40wt%,the solid phase line of filler metals remains unchanged,whereas the liquidus temperature decreases from 567.65°C to 499.96°C.With the increase in Ge content of filler metal,Ge content in eutectic Si phase is increased,the endothermic peak of Al-Si eutectic reaction according to thermogravimetry curve becomes smoother,and Al-Si eutectic temperature is decreased.Ge addition can reduce the free energy of Al-Si alloy system.The lowest point of free energy is located on Al-Ge side.The eutectic Ge phase with the composition similar to pure Ge composition is the most likely to appear in the microstructure of filler metals,whereas the eutectic Si phase with the composition similar to pure Si composition is the least likely to appear.The thermodynamic calculation results are consistent with the experiment results.

文摘A phase-field model integrated with the thermodynamic databases was constructed to investigate the impact of Ni content on the precipitation kinetics and phase transformation of the Cu-rich phase in Fe-Cu-Ni alloy at 773 K.The results demonstrated that the Cu core-Ni shell structures form via the decomposition of Cu-Ni co-clusters,which is consistent with previous experimental results.As the Ni content increases,both the volume fraction and number density of Cu-rich precipitates increase,while their size decreases.With the increase in Ni content,the transformation from a Cu to 9R Cu is accelerated,which is the opposite to the result of increasing Mn content.Magnetic energy can increase the nucleation rate of the Cu-rich phase,but it does not affect the phase transformation driving force required for its crystal structure transformation.

文摘Cr_(2)AlC,a representative MAX phase,gains increasing attention for the excellent oxidation tolerance and corrosion resistance used in harsh high temperature and strong radiation environments.However,the lack of the phase formation mechanism has become the key bottleneck to the practical applications for Cr_(2)AlC synthesis with high purity at low temperatures.In this work,we fabricated the amorphous Cr-Al-C coating by a hybrid magnetron sputtering/cathodic arc deposition technique,in which the in-situ heating transmission electron microscopy(TEM)was conducted in a temperature range of 25-650℃ to address the real-time phase transformation for Cr_(2)AlC coating.The results demonstrated that increas-ing the temperature from 25 to 370℃ led to the structural transformation from amorphous Cr-Al-C to the crystalline Cr_(2)Al interphases.However,the high-purity Cr_(2)AlC MAX phase was distinctly formed at 500℃,accompanied by the diminished amorphous feature.With the further increase of temperature to 650℃,the decomposition of Cr_(2)AlC to Cr_(7)C_(3)impurities was observed.Similar phase evolution was also evidenced by the Ab-initio molecular dynamics calculations,where the bond energy of Cr-Cr,Cr-Al,and Cr-C played the key role in the formed crystalline stability during the heating process.The observa-tions not only provide fundamental insight into the phase formation mechanism for high-purity Cr_(2)AlC coatings but also offer a promising strategy to manipulate the advanced MAX phase materials with high tolerance to high-temperature oxidation and heavy ion radiations.

文摘High-temperature confocal laser scanning microscopy(HT-CLSM)is considered as a powerful tool for in situ observation of the phase transformation of steels at elevated temperatures.It breaks the limitation that conventional approaches on this aspect can only post-mortem the microstructure at room temperature.The working principle and major functions of HT-CLSM in initial are introduced and the utilization in details with HT-CLSM is summarized,including the behaviors of melting-solidifying,austenite reversion,as well as the austenite decomposition(formation of Widmanstätten,pearlite,acicular ferrite,bainite and martensite)in steels.Moreover,a serie of HT-CLSM images are used to explore the growth kinetic of phase at elevated temperatures with additional theoretical calculation models.Finally,the in situ HT-CLSM observations of phase transformation,combined with post-mortem electron backscatter diffraction analysis,is also summarized to elucidate the crystallographic evolution.

文摘The phase volume fraction has an important role in the match of the strength and plasticity of dual phase steel.The different bainite contents(18–53 vol.%)in polygonal ferrite and bainite(PF+B)dual phase steel were obtained by controlling the relaxation finish temperature during the rolling process.The effect of bainite volume fraction on the tensile deformability was systematically investigated via experiments and crystal plasticity finite element model(CPFEM)simulation.The experimental results showed that the steel showed optimal strain hardenability and strength–plasticity matching when the bainite reached 35%.The 3D-CPFEM models with the same grain size and texture characters were established to clarify the influence of stress/strain distribution on PF+B dual phase steel with different bainite contents.The simulation results indicated that an appropriate increase in the bainite content(18%–35%)did not affect the interphase strain difference,but increased the stress distribution in both phases,as a result of enhancing the coordinated deformability of two phases and improving the strength–plasticity matching.When the bainite content increased to 53%,the stress/strain difference between the two phases was greatly increased,and plastic damage between the two phases was caused by the reduction of the coordinated deformability.

文摘In-situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM)is performed to investigate the de-formation behavior of hexagonal close-packed rhenium(Re)which is compressed along the{1-100}di-rection.Atomistic simulations are also conducted to better understand the deformation mechanisms.Two types of lattice reorientation are observed during compression.The first type involves the reori-entation of one lattice by∼90°around{11-20},which is accomplished by the formation of an interme-diate face-center-cubic(FCC)phase at the interface.This transformation sequence can be described as{1-100}matrix→{111}FCC→(0001)twin.In the second type,a new grain is formed but does not satisfy any known twin relationship with the matrix,and an intermediate FCC phase is also formed.The transfor-mation sequence can be described as{1¯101}matrix→{111}FCC→(0001)grain.Mechanisms responsible for the observed lattice reorientation and sequential phase transitions are analyzed by conducting lattice correspondence analyses on the simulation results.Strain accommodation is also analyzed to explain the mechanisms for lattice reorientation and the intermediate phase transformations.The results provide new insight into the deformation behavior of HCP metals.

文摘The spray-deposition was used to produce billets of Mg-4Al-1.5Zn-3Ca-1Nd(A alloy)and Mg-13Al-3Zn-3Ca-1Nd(B alloy),and evolution of deformation substructure and Mg_(x)Zn_(y)Ca_(z)metastable phase in fine-grained(3μm)Mg alloys was investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),and electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD).It was found that different dislocation configurations were formed in A and B alloys.Redundant free dislocations(RFDs)and dislocation tangles were the ways to form deformation substructure in A alloy,no RFDs except dislocation tangles were found in B alloy.The interaction between nano-scale second phase particles(nano-scale C15 andβ-Mg_(17)(Al,Zn)_(12)phase)and different dislocation configurations had a significant effect on the deformation substructures formation.The mass transfer of Mg_(x)Zn_(y)Ca_(z)metastable phases and the stacking order of stacking faults were conducive to the Mg-Nd-Zn typed long period stacking ordered(LPSO)phases formation.Nano-scale C15 phases,Mg-Nd-Zn typed LPSO phases,c/a ratio,β-Mg_(17)(Al,Zn)_(12)phases were the key factors influencing the formation of textures.Different textures and grain boundary features(GB features)had a significant effect on k-value.The non-basal textures were the main factor affecting k-value in A alloy,while the high-angle grain boundary(HAGB)was the main factor affecting k-value in B alloy.

文摘The influences of reaction temperature,duration,pressure,and catalyst concentration on the molecular transformation of residual slurry phase hydrocracking process were investigated.The molecular composition of the heteroatom compounds in the residue feedstock and its upgrading products were characterized using high-resolution Orbitrap mass spectrometry coupled with multiple ionization methods.The simultaneous promotion of cracking and hydrogenation reactions was observed with increasing of the reaction temperature and time.Specifically,there was a significant increase in the cracking degree of alkyl side chain,while the removal of low-condensation sulfur compounds such as sulfides and benzothiophenes was enhanced.In particular,the cracking reactions were more significantly facilitated by high temperatures,while an appropriately extended reaction time can result in the complete elimination of the aforementioned sulfur compounds with a lower degree of condensation.Under conditions of low hydrogen pressure and catalyst concentration,the products still exhibit a high relative abundance of easily convertible compounds such as sulfoxides,indicating a significant deficiency in the effectiveness of hydrogenation.The hydrogen pressure exhibits an optimal value,beyond which further increments have no effect on the composition and performance of the liquid product but can increase the yield of the liquid product.At significantly high catalyst concentration,the effect of desulfurization and deoxidation slightly diminishes,while the aromatic saturation of highly condensed compounds was notably enhanced.This hydrogenation saturation effect cannot be attained through manipulation of other operational parameters,thereby potentially benefiting subsequent product processing and utilization.This present study demonstrates a profound comprehension of the molecular-level residue slurry phase hydrocracking process,offering not only specific guide for process design and optimization but also valuable fundamental data for constructing reaction models at the molecular level.

文摘The slow phase transition from formⅡto formⅠhas always been an important factor that restricts the processing and application of polybutene-1(PB-1).After extensive efforts,a set of effective methods for promoting the phase transition rate in PB-1 was established by adjusting the crystallization,nucleation,and growth temperatures.Nevertheless,low-molecular-weight PB-1(LMWPB-1)faces challenges because this method requires a low crystallization temperature,which is difficult to achieve during extrusion processing.In this study,we attempted to increase the phase transition rate in PB-1 by changing the annealing temperature after processing rather than the crystallization temperature in the classical scheme.The results indicated that regardless of low-or high-molecular-weight PB-1,repeated annealing between 0 and 90℃could also promote formⅡto formⅠphase transition.The initial content of formⅠincreased with the heating and cooling cycles.The half-time of the phase transition(t_(1/2))was also shortened after heating/cooling.After 100 heating/cooling cycles,t_(1/2) was reduced to one-quarter of that without annealing,which had almost the same effect as the crystallization temperature at 25℃in promoting the phase transition.This study indicates that annealing after processing is also an important factor affecting the phase transition of PB-1,and should receive sufficient attention.

文摘Al-doped manganese dioxide(MnO_(2))was synthesized by simple hydrothermal method,and a controllable phase transition of the MnO_(2)crystal phase fromβtoδwas achieved.The effects of Al doping concentration on the structure and electrochemical properties of electrode materials were studied in detail.The results show that the controlled synthesis requires a synergy between KMnO_(4),MnCl_(2)and AlCl_(3),and that Al^(3+)plays an important role.Compared with the pure phase MnO_(2),the crystallinity of Al-doped MnO_(2)decreases and the specific surface area increases,which provides more active sites for the electrode material.When 3 mmol Al^(3+)is added,the prepared MnO_(2)-3 has the largest specific capacitance and the highest rate performance.The energy density of the asymmetric supercapacitor(ASC)with MnO_(2)-3 as the positive electrode and activated carbon(AC)as the negative electrode can reach 18.4 W·h/kg at the power density of 400 W/kg,and the capacity can maintain 90%of the initial value after 20000 cycles,indicating that Al-doped MnO_(2)has certain practical application value.This study provides favorable guidance for MnO_(2)as a high performance electrode material.

文摘Nickel laterite ore is an important nickel-bearing mineral.Research on pre-heating and hydrogen pre-reduction in the pyrometallurgical process of nickel laterite ore is very limited,especially when using fluidized bed roasting.This study systematically explores the mechanisms of fluidized bed pre-heating treatment and hydrogen pre-reduction in the roasting process of saprolitic nickel laterite ore.According to single-factor experiment results,the appropriate pre-heating and pre-reduction conditions were a pre-heating temperature of 700℃,a pre-heating time of 30 min,a pre-reduction temperature of 700℃,a pre-reduction time of 30 min,and a hydrogen concentration of 80%.Then,the nickel metallization rate and iron metallization rate reached 90.56%and 41.31%,respectively.Various analytical and testing methods were employed to study the changes in phase composition,magnetism,surface element valence states,and microstructure of nickel laterite ore during fluidized pre-heating and pre-reduction.The study shows that hydrogen can achieve nickel reduction at relatively low temperatures.It was also found that pre-heating treatment of nickel laterite ore is beneficial.Pre-heating opens up the mineral structures of serpentine and limonite,allowing the reducing gas and nickel to interact quickly during the reduction process,enhancing the pre-reduction process.

文摘The 304 austenitic stainless steel was processed by high-pressure torsion(HPT)at room temperature with 10,20,and 30 rotations under a pressure of 3 GPa and a rotation speed of 1 r/min.The phase transformation and microstructural evolution of 304 stainless steel after HPT were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD)analysis,electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD)analysis,transmission electron microscopy(TEM),nanoindentation test and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC)analysis.The experimental results show that HPT causes elongated nanocrystalline grains of 25 nm width along the torsion direction.After 10 turns of HPT,the deformation-induced martensitic transformation is completed and the hardness increases from 3 GPa to 8.5 GPa at the edge of the disc.However,a local reverse phase transformation from martensite to austenite is observed in the peripheral regions of the sample after 30 turns of HPT,leading to a higher volume fraction of austenite,and the hardness of the sample also decreases accordingly.

文摘The serrated flow behavior,known as the Portevin-Le Chatelier(PLC)effect,is commonly observed during high-temperature deformation.In this study,we report a serrated flow behavior in FeCoCrNiMo0.2 high-entropy alloy(HEA),which is mediated by nano-twinning and phase transformation at cryogenic temperatures.During uniaxial tensile deformation at 77 K,the alloy exhibited the formation of high-density deformation nano-twinning,cross-twinning,stacking faults(SFs)and Lomer-Cottrell locks(L-C locks).Additionally,the lower stacking fault energy(SFE)at low temperatures promotes the formation of the 9R phase.The high-density twin boundaries effectively hinder dislocation movement,leading to the instability of plastic deformation and promoting the serrated flow behavior.Furthermore,the rapid and unstable transformation of the 9R phase contributes to the pronounced serrated flow behavior.Nano-twinning,SFs,cross-twinning,L-C locks and 9R phase collectively induce a dynamic Hall-Petch effect,enhancing the strength-ductility synergy and strain-hardening ability of deformed alloy at 77 K.Our work provides valuable insights into the mechanism of tensile deformation at cryogenic temperatures in single-phase FCC HEA.
