The evolution of morphology, microstructure, and phase transformation of the agglomerated powder and as-sprayed coatings were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The results show that A1203 retains the same a phase as the raw material during sintering, while TiO2 changes from anatase to futile. During plasma spraying, some a-A1203 phases solidify to form metastable y-A1203, and the volume fraction of a-A1203 decreases as CPSP increases. However, peaks of the TiO2 phase are not observed from the as-sprayed coatings except for the coatings sprayed at the lower CPSP. As the CPSP increases, nanostructured TiO2 is dissolved easily in y-A1203 or z-A1203＇TiO2 phase. After heat treatment, y-A1203 in the coatings transforms to a-A1203, and rutile is precipitated.展开更多

The subsidence history of the Sinian-Lower Paleozoic can be divided into four stages： the stable subsidence during Cambrian and Silurian; the uplift and denudation during Devonian and Carboniferous; the subsidence （main process） during Permian to Late Cretaceous; and the rapid uplift and denudation since Late Cretaceous. The later two stages could be regarded as critical factors for the development of oil and gas in the lower association. The evolution of energy field such as temperature, pressure, and hydrocarbon phase in the lower association during the deep burial and uplift in the third stage might be induced as follows： （1） super-high pressure was developed during oil-cracking, previous super-high pressure was sustained, or changed as normal pressure during late uplift; （2） temperature increased with deep burial during persistent subsidence and decreased during uplift in late stage; （3） as a response to the change of the energy field, hydrocarbon phase experienced a series of changes such as organic material （solid）, oil （liquid）, oil-cracking gas （gaseous） ＋ bitumen （solid） ＋ abnormal high pressure, gas cap gas with super-high pressure （gaseous） ＋ bitumen （solid） ＋ water soluble gas （liquid）, and gas in pool （gaseous） ＋ water soluble gas （liquid） ＋ bitumen （solid）. The restoration of hydrocarbon phase evolution is of important value for the exploration of natural gas in the Sinian-Lower Paleozoic in Sichuan basin.展开更多

Differential scanning calorimeter, scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectrometer and X-ray diffractometer were employed.The results showed that Al12(Fe,V)3 Si and Si phases evolved into a needle-like Al4.5 Fe Si phase and a nano-sized V-rich phase during holding the alloy at 580-600℃. With increasing holding temperature to 620-640℃, Al4.5 Fe Si and nano-sized V-rich phases evolved reversibly into Al12(Fe,V)3 Si and Si phases, of which Al12(Fe,V)3 Si occupied a coarse and hexagonal morphology. During the alloy(after holding at 640 ℃) furnace cooling to 570 ℃ or lower, Si and Al12(Fe,V)3 Si phases evolved into strip-like Al4.5 Fe Si and the V-rich phases, which is a novel formation route for Al4.5 Fe Si phase different from Al-Fe-Si ternary system.展开更多

For com- parison, the sample was also synthesized by a co-precipitation method. The X-ray diffraction （XRD） results suggested that the final crystalline phases had great relations with the hydrothermal synthesis conditions. The field emission scanning electron microscopy （FE-SEM） images and the energy-dispersive spectroscopy （EDS） patterns indicated that the morphologies and the components of some representative samples also varied with the synthesis conditions. Eu3＋, acting as a probe, exhibited different optical proper- ties in the K-Lu-F system optical materials, which also indirectly proved the phase evolution of the final products. The results sug- gested that there were many crystalline phases with different symmetry in the K-Lu-F system. They would be good host matrices for the emitters.展开更多

Almost all the alloy ribbons. except for(Nd_0.95La_0.05)_9.5Fe_78M_2B_10.5(M=Mo and Mn),consist merely two magnetic phases, namely α-Fe and R_2Fe_14B, which display a better combination of _iH_c and magnetic energy product. Remanence (Br) and coercivity (i_H_c) values in the range of 8.0 to 9.1 kG and 9.5 to 18.9 kOe. respectively, can be achieved. Among compositions studied, the Ti and W-substitutions were found to be most effective in increasing the Br and i_H_c, respectively. For a fixed refractory metal substitution, namely, M=C_r, Ti or Nb, an increase in the total rare earth concentration resulted in nanocomposites of small grain sizes and a high volume fraction of the R_2Fe_14B phase, leading to an increase in the magnetic properties.展开更多

The phase evolution mechanism and microstructure changes during these heat treatment processes were systematically discussed. The influences of HT1 parameters on the phase evolution process of Bi-2223 tapes were discussed. With the optimized HT1 process, a proper Bi-2223 content of about 90% was achieved. HT2 process was also optimized by adding a post annealing process. An obvious increase of current capacity was obtained due to the enhancement of intergrain connections. Single filament Bi-2223 tapes with the critical current of Ic-90 A were fabricated with the optimized sintering process.展开更多

Micro- structure characteristics and phase transformation of siderite ore during sodium-carbonate-added catalyzing carboth- ermic reduction were investigated. X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive analysis of X rays were used to characterize the reduced samples. Results indicate that the solid reaction between FeO and SiO2 is inevitable during carbothermic reduction and the formation of fayalite is the main hindrance to the rapid reduction of siderite. The phase transformation of present siderite ore can be described as： siderite-magnetite-metallic iron, complying with the formation of abundant fayalite. Improving the reduction temperature （-1050 -C ） and duration is helpful for the formation and aggregation of metallic iron. The iron particle size in the reduced ore was below 20 l-m, and fayalite was abundant in the absence of sodium carbonate. With 5% Na2CO3 addition, the iron particle size in the reduced ore was generally above 50μm, and the diffraction intensity associated with metallic iron in the XRD pattern increased. The Na2O formed from the dissociation of Na2 CO3 can catalyze the carbothermie reduction of the siderite. This catalytic activity may be mainly caused by an increase in the reducing reaction activity of FeO.展开更多

In this work, it has been investigated experimentally and theoretically the phase evolution and glass formation of a wedge-casting Fe-based alloy. The results indicated that the phase formation was sensitive to the wedge position, i.e., there were amorphous phase, Fe_(2)P, {Fe, Ni} and α-Fe precipitates as well as M_(23)B_(6) phase at the distances of 3, 10 and 20 mm away from the wedge-tip, respectively. These were closely connected with the variation of cooling rate, embodied in the heat transfer at the solidification process. Furthermore, we constructed the time–temperature-transformation (TTT) diagrams of the iron-based alloy and these crystal phases through calculating Rc-related functions. Finally, the glass-forming features of the wedge-shaped Fe-based alloy have been elucidated in accordance with a crystallization kinetics analysis of the recorded temperature data and the phase selection competition. This research provides us an insight into in-depth understanding bulk metallic glass from the perspective of kinetics competition of crystallization phases.展开更多

The Cr–35Mo（in at%） powder mixture was milled at 243 and258 K, respectively, for different time. For comparative study, Cr–15Mo and Cr–62Mo powder mixtures were milled at 243 K for 18 h. Solid solution Cr（Mo） with body-centered cubic（bcc） crystal structure and amorphous Cr（Mo） alloy was obtained during MA process caused by high-energy ball milling. Based on the Miedema＇s model, the free-energy change for forming either a solid solution or an amorphous in Cr–Mo alloy system is positive but small at a temperature range between 200 and 300 K. The thermodynamical barrier for forming alloy in Cr–Mo system can be overcome when MA occurs at 243 K, and the supersaturated solid solution crystal nuclei with bcc structure form continually, and three supersaturated solid solutions of Cr–62Mo, Cr–35Mo and Cr–15Mo formed. Milling the Cr–35Mo powder mixture at 258 K, the solid solution Cr（Mo） forms firstly, and then the solid solution Cr（Mo） transforms into the amorphous Cr（Mo）alloy with a few of nanocrystallines when milling is prolonged. At higher milling temperature, it is favorable for the formation of the amorphous phase, as indicated by the thermodynamical calculation for immiscible Cr–Mo alloy system.展开更多

文摘Gradient magnetic heterointerfaces have injected infinite vitality in optimizing impedance matching,adjusting dielectric/magnetic resonance and promoting electromagnetic(EM)wave absorption,but still exist a significant challenging in regulating local phase evolution.Herein,accordion-shaped Co/Co_(3)O_(4)@N-doped carbon nanosheets(Co/Co_(3)O_(4)@NC)with gradient magnetic heterointerfaces have been fabricated via the cooperative high-temperature carbonization and lowtemperature oxidation process.The results indicate that the surface epitaxial growth of crystal Co_(3)O_(4) domains on local Co nanoparticles realizes the adjustment of magnetic-heteroatomic components,which are beneficial for optimizing impedance matching and interfacial polarization.Moreover,gradient magnetic heterointerfaces simultaneously realize magnetic coupling,and long-range magnetic diffraction.Specifically,the synthesized Co/Co_(3)O_(4)@NC absorbents display the strong electromagnetic wave attenuation capability of−53.5 dB at a thickness of 3.0 mm with an effective absorption bandwidth of 5.36 GHz,both are superior to those of single magnetic domains embedded in carbon matrix.This design concept provides us an inspiration in optimizing interfacial polarization,regulating magnetic coupling and promoting electromagnetic wave absorption.

文摘Coal and rock dynamic disasters are always major hidden dangers threatening mine safety production.Many researchers use cement concrete material as filling and energy-absorption materials.However,the current material toughness is not sufficient to meet the requirements of mine disaster prevention.Based on this,in order to find the optimal-ratio material that combines strength and toughness,the synergistic mechanism of lithium slag(LS),ethylene-vinyl acetate(EVA)copolymer,and polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)fiber mixtures in improving the mechanical properties of cement concrete,as well as the mechanism of microscopic phase evolution,was analyzed through macroscopic experiments,mesoscopic characterization,microscopic analysis,theoretical calculations,and comprehensive evaluation.The stress-strain curves obtained from the uniaxial compressive strength tests of specimens with different admixtures and fibers were investigated,and the characteristics of different stages were analyzed.The mechanical properties of different admixtures and fiber-reinforced materials,including their advantages and disadvantages,were compared through weighted comprehensive evaluation.The entire process of material failure,ranging from pore compaction,crack initiation,crack propagation,specimen instability to crack penetration,was explained via macroscopic fracture morphology,and the mechanical mechanism of how different admixtures affect the mechanical properties of concrete materials was revealed.The microscopic mechanism and the phase-evolution process of how the admixture affects concrete properties were elucidated using X-ray diffraction(XRD),hydration reaction theory,and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR).Furthermore,scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy(SEM-EDS)was used to reveal the interfacial pore state and element distribution of the internal microstructure of concrete.The results show that PVA fiber bars can play the role of a“skeleton bridge”to improve the toughness of materials.LS can effectively promote the hydration process and cooperate with PVA fiber bars to enhance the mechanical properties of the material.EVA will inhibit the hydration reaction and degrade the material’s mechanical properties through the“organic isolation”effect.In addition,the on-site application has proven that the R3-group materials in this study can effectively inhibit the deformation of the roadway and possess strong reliability.Finally,the advantages and feasibility of LS-and-fiber-reinforced concrete were discussed from four perspectives:environmental protection,economy,disaster prevention,and development.This paper is expected to provide technical reference for the large-scale disposal of solid waste LS,the performance-optimization direction of concrete materials,and the prevention and control of coal and rock dynamic disasters.

文摘A novel low-activation Ti_(1.5)ZrV_(0.5)Ta_(0.5)refractory high-entropy alloy(RHEA)was designed as a potential candidate for nuclear reactor application.At room temperature,it had an elongation of 8.4%and a yield strength of 1096 MPa.The phase evolution of this alloy and its effect on properties was investigated.At 400℃,the solid solution bcc 1 transformed into the fcc phase and bcc 2 phase,and theωphase andαphase also appeared.At 600℃,theωphase andαphase disappeared,and the microstructure of the alloy was composed of the fcc phase and bcc 2 phase.When the temperature was up to 1200℃,the fcc phase and bcc 2 phase re-transformed into solid solution bcc 1 phase.The precipitation ofωphase andαphase caused a sharp increase in strength and a decrease in plasticity.Meanwhile,the appearance of the fcc phase led to a simultaneous decrease in strength and ductility,due to larger stress concentrations at the fcc/bcc interface.Besides,the formation mechanism of each phase in the alloy was discussed in detail.

文摘Industrial wastes such as steel slag and coal gangue etc.were chosen as raw materials for preparing ceramic via the conventional solid-state reaction method.With steel slag and coal gangue mixed in various mass ratios,from 100%steel slag to 100%coal gangue at 10%intervals,microstructure and possible phase evolution of the coal gangue-steel slag ceramics were investigated using X-ray powder diffraction,scanning electron microscopy,mercury intrusion porosimetry and Archimedes boiling method.The experimental results suggest that the phase compositions of the as-prepared ceramics could be altered with the increased amount of coal gangue in the ceramics.The anorthite-diopside eutectic can be formed in the ceramics with the mass ratios of steel slag to coal gangue arranged from 8:2 to 2:8,which was responsible for the melting of the steel slag-coal gangue ceramics at relatively high temperature.Further investigations on the microstructure suggested that the addition of the proper amount of steel slag in ceramic compositions was conducive to the pore formation and further contributed to an increment in porosity.

文摘Hole transport material free carbon-based all-inorganic CsPbBr_(3)perovskite solar cells(PSCs)are promising for commercialization due to its low-cost,high open-circuit voltage(V_(oc))and superior stability.Due to the different solubility of PbBr_(2)and CsBr in conventional solvents,CsPbBr_(3)films are mainly obtained by multi-step spin-coating through the phase evolution from PbBr_(2)to CsPb_(2)Br_(5)and then to CsPbBr_(3).The scalable fabrication of high-quality CsPbBr_(3)films has been rarely studied.Herein,an inkjet-printing method is developed to prepare high-quality CsPbBr_(3)films.The formation of long-range crystalline CsPb_(2)Br_(5)phase can effectively improve phase purity and promote regular crystal stacking of CsPbBr_(3).Consequently,the inkjet-printed CsPbBr_(3)C-PSCs realized PCEs up to 9.09%,8.59%and 7.81%with active areas of 0.09,0.25,and 1 cm^(2),respectively,demonstrating the upscaling potential of our fabrication method and devices.This high performance is mainly ascribed to the high purity,strong crystal orientation,reduced surface roughness and lower trap states density of the as-printed CsPbBr_(3)films.This work provides insights into the relationship between the phase evolution mechanisms and crystal growth dynamics of cesium lead bromide halide films.

文摘Commercial nanosized alumina and titania particles were selected as raw materials to prepare the blended slurry with composition of A1203-13%TiO2 （mass fraction）, which were reconstituted into micrometer-sized granules by spray drying, subsequently sintering at different temperatures to form nanostructured feedstock for thermal spraying, and then A1203-13%TiO2 nanocoatings were deposited by plasma spraying. The evolution of morphology, microstructure, and phase transformation of the agglomerated powder and as-sprayed coatings were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The results show that A1203 retains the same a phase as the raw material during sintering, while TiO2 changes from anatase to futile. During plasma spraying, some a-A1203 phases solidify to form metastable y-A1203, and the volume fraction of a-A1203 decreases as CPSP increases. However, peaks of the TiO2 phase are not observed from the as-sprayed coatings except for the coatings sprayed at the lower CPSP. As the CPSP increases, nanostructured TiO2 is dissolved easily in y-A1203 or z-A1203＇TiO2 phase. After heat treatment, y-A1203 in the coatings transforms to a-A1203, and rutile is precipitated.

文摘The Sinian-Lower Paleozoic （also called the lower association） in Sichuan （四川） basin has undergone geologic evolution for several hundred million years. The subsidence history of the Sinian-Lower Paleozoic can be divided into four stages： the stable subsidence during Cambrian and Silurian; the uplift and denudation during Devonian and Carboniferous; the subsidence （main process） during Permian to Late Cretaceous; and the rapid uplift and denudation since Late Cretaceous. The later two stages could be regarded as critical factors for the development of oil and gas in the lower association. The evolution of energy field such as temperature, pressure, and hydrocarbon phase in the lower association during the deep burial and uplift in the third stage might be induced as follows： （1） super-high pressure was developed during oil-cracking, previous super-high pressure was sustained, or changed as normal pressure during late uplift; （2） temperature increased with deep burial during persistent subsidence and decreased during uplift in late stage; （3） as a response to the change of the energy field, hydrocarbon phase experienced a series of changes such as organic material （solid）, oil （liquid）, oil-cracking gas （gaseous） ＋ bitumen （solid） ＋ abnormal high pressure, gas cap gas with super-high pressure （gaseous） ＋ bitumen （solid） ＋ water soluble gas （liquid）, and gas in pool （gaseous） ＋ water soluble gas （liquid） ＋ bitumen （solid）. The restoration of hydrocarbon phase evolution is of important value for the exploration of natural gas in the Sinian-Lower Paleozoic in Sichuan basin.

文摘To make the ferroelectric BaTiO3 possess ferromagnetism simultaneously,magnetic Fe was doped into BaTiO3 ceramics at doping levels up to 10%(molar fraction).Both tetragonal and hexagonal phases coexisted in the Fe-doped BaTiO3 ceramics except at 1% doping level.X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that higher doping level of Fe,higher sintering temperature and longer sintering time promoted the formation of hexagonal phases in Fe-doped BaTiO3 ceramics.Ferroelectricity was observed in all samples at room temperature,but it was greatly depressed by Fe doping.Except at doping level of 1%,room-temperature ferromagnetism was observed in the BaTiO3 ceramics.The dependence of the saturation magnetization and coercivities of the Fe-doped BaTiO3 ceramics on doping level was systematically studied.Both the saturation magnetization and magnetic coercivities were found to be dependent on the doping level as well as the fraction of the hexagonal phase in the ceramics.
文摘The microstructure evolution law and the structure of precipitates produced during the tempering of steel AerMet100 based on TEM observation and the calibration of diffraction spot were revealed.The electronic structure and the stability of the MoxCr2-xC phase were calculated using the plane-wave pseudo-potential method on basis of density functional theory.TEM observations show that the precipitation phases Fe3C and Fe2-xCx(x=0.05～0.14) between martensite lath are produced at 425 and 480 ℃,respectively.The increase of tempering temperature or time can lead to the redissolution of both phases Fe3C and Fe2-xCx,and also lead to the precipitation of the phase Cr2C in martensite lath.The calculation results of formation energies and the density of state(DOS) demonstrate that in point of MoxCr2-xC structures formed during tempering,the early precipitation phase is Cr2C and finally later evolves into Mo2C phase with diffusing of incorporation of Mo atom into the Cr2C crystal cell,lattice,which can results in a energy decreases of the structure MoxCr2-xC phase with the increase of x.

文摘The AlSi20/8009 aluminum alloy was heated to high temperatures near the melting point and cooled to investigate the effect of external Si addition on the phase evolution of Al12(Fe,V)3 Si dispersion. Differential scanning calorimeter, scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectrometer and X-ray diffractometer were employed.The results showed that Al12(Fe,V)3 Si and Si phases evolved into a needle-like Al4.5 Fe Si phase and a nano-sized V-rich phase during holding the alloy at 580-600℃. With increasing holding temperature to 620-640℃, Al4.5 Fe Si and nano-sized V-rich phases evolved reversibly into Al12(Fe,V)3 Si and Si phases, of which Al12(Fe,V)3 Si occupied a coarse and hexagonal morphology. During the alloy(after holding at 640 ℃) furnace cooling to 570 ℃ or lower, Si and Al12(Fe,V)3 Si phases evolved into strip-like Al4.5 Fe Si and the V-rich phases, which is a novel formation route for Al4.5 Fe Si phase different from Al-Fe-Si ternary system.

文摘Using a hydrothermal method, by adjusting the reactant ratios, the hydrothermal temperatures, the hydrothermal time, and the pH values of prepared solutions, 1 mol.% Eu3＋ doped K-Lu-F system optical materials were synthesized under control. For com- parison, the sample was also synthesized by a co-precipitation method. The X-ray diffraction （XRD） results suggested that the final crystalline phases had great relations with the hydrothermal synthesis conditions. The field emission scanning electron microscopy （FE-SEM） images and the energy-dispersive spectroscopy （EDS） patterns indicated that the morphologies and the components of some representative samples also varied with the synthesis conditions. Eu3＋, acting as a probe, exhibited different optical proper- ties in the K-Lu-F system optical materials, which also indirectly proved the phase evolution of the final products. The results sug- gested that there were many crystalline phases with different symmetry in the K-Lu-F system. They would be good host matrices for the emitters.

文摘Phase evolution and magnetic properties of (Nd_o.95La_0.05)9.5-11Febal.M_2B10.5. where M=Cr, Ti, Nb, V, Mo, Zr, Hf, Ta, Mn or W, melt spun ribbons have been investigated. Almost all the alloy ribbons. except for(Nd_0.95La_0.05)_9.5Fe_78M_2B_10.5(M=Mo and Mn),consist merely two magnetic phases, namely α-Fe and R_2Fe_14B, which display a better combination of _iH_c and magnetic energy product. Remanence (Br) and coercivity (i_H_c) values in the range of 8.0 to 9.1 kG and 9.5 to 18.9 kOe. respectively, can be achieved. Among compositions studied, the Ti and W-substitutions were found to be most effective in increasing the Br and i_H_c, respectively. For a fixed refractory metal substitution, namely, M=C_r, Ti or Nb, an increase in the total rare earth concentration resulted in nanocomposites of small grain sizes and a high volume fraction of the R_2Fe_14B phase, leading to an increase in the magnetic properties.

文摘Powder in tube process（PIT） was adopted for the fabrication of single filament Bi-2223 tapes, and a heat treatment process including the first heat treatment（HT1）, intermediate rolling（IR）, and second heat treatment（HT2） was performed. The phase evolution mechanism and microstructure changes during these heat treatment processes were systematically discussed. The influences of HT1 parameters on the phase evolution process of Bi-2223 tapes were discussed. With the optimized HT1 process, a proper Bi-2223 content of about 90% was achieved. HT2 process was also optimized by adding a post annealing process. An obvious increase of current capacity was obtained due to the enhancement of intergrain connections. Single filament Bi-2223 tapes with the critical current of Ic-90 A were fabricated with the optimized sintering process.

文摘Thermodynamic analysis of refractory siderite ore during carbothermic reduction was conducted. Micro- structure characteristics and phase transformation of siderite ore during sodium-carbonate-added catalyzing carboth- ermic reduction were investigated. X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive analysis of X rays were used to characterize the reduced samples. Results indicate that the solid reaction between FeO and SiO2 is inevitable during carbothermic reduction and the formation of fayalite is the main hindrance to the rapid reduction of siderite. The phase transformation of present siderite ore can be described as： siderite-magnetite-metallic iron, complying with the formation of abundant fayalite. Improving the reduction temperature （-1050 -C ） and duration is helpful for the formation and aggregation of metallic iron. The iron particle size in the reduced ore was below 20 l-m, and fayalite was abundant in the absence of sodium carbonate. With 5% Na2CO3 addition, the iron particle size in the reduced ore was generally above 50μm, and the diffraction intensity associated with metallic iron in the XRD pattern increased. The Na2O formed from the dissociation of Na2 CO3 can catalyze the carbothermie reduction of the siderite. This catalytic activity may be mainly caused by an increase in the reducing reaction activity of FeO.

文摘Binary immiscible Al-Sn alloy is a very important potential anode material for lithium ion batteries.The phase stability and separation process of Al-Sn film,fabricated by magnetron co-sputtering method,was investigated by X-ray diffractometer(XRD),differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) and in situ transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and explained by Miedema theoretical model.Thermodynamic analysis reveals that the asdeposited Al-Sn film will decompose spontaneously into Al-riched areas and Sn-riched areas because of the positive mixing enthalpy.The crystallization process takes place when the Al content in the Al-riched area or Sn content in the Sn-riched area increases.Experimental results show that Al-Sn thin film is composed of an amorphous matrix and well-dispersed composite nanoparticles.Every particle contains an Al-riched area and a Sn-riched area.The Snriched area crystallizes and swallows up the Al-riched area gradually during heating through uphill diffusion of the Sn atoms.Based on the theoretical analysis and experimental results,an empirical model to explain the phase evolution process in the Al-Sn film was proposed.

文摘The understanding of phase competing is of pretty importance in designing high glass-forming systems. In this work, it has been investigated experimentally and theoretically the phase evolution and glass formation of a wedge-casting Fe-based alloy. The results indicated that the phase formation was sensitive to the wedge position, i.e., there were amorphous phase, Fe_(2)P, {Fe, Ni} and α-Fe precipitates as well as M_(23)B_(6) phase at the distances of 3, 10 and 20 mm away from the wedge-tip, respectively. These were closely connected with the variation of cooling rate, embodied in the heat transfer at the solidification process. Furthermore, we constructed the time–temperature-transformation (TTT) diagrams of the iron-based alloy and these crystal phases through calculating Rc-related functions. Finally, the glass-forming features of the wedge-shaped Fe-based alloy have been elucidated in accordance with a crystallization kinetics analysis of the recorded temperature data and the phase selection competition. This research provides us an insight into in-depth understanding bulk metallic glass from the perspective of kinetics competition of crystallization phases.

文摘This paper systematically reports the thermodynamic characteristic and phase evolution of immiscible Cr–Mo binary alloy during mechanical alloying（MA） process. The Cr–35Mo（in at%） powder mixture was milled at 243 and258 K, respectively, for different time. For comparative study, Cr–15Mo and Cr–62Mo powder mixtures were milled at 243 K for 18 h. Solid solution Cr（Mo） with body-centered cubic（bcc） crystal structure and amorphous Cr（Mo） alloy was obtained during MA process caused by high-energy ball milling. Based on the Miedema＇s model, the free-energy change for forming either a solid solution or an amorphous in Cr–Mo alloy system is positive but small at a temperature range between 200 and 300 K. The thermodynamical barrier for forming alloy in Cr–Mo system can be overcome when MA occurs at 243 K, and the supersaturated solid solution crystal nuclei with bcc structure form continually, and three supersaturated solid solutions of Cr–62Mo, Cr–35Mo and Cr–15Mo formed. Milling the Cr–35Mo powder mixture at 258 K, the solid solution Cr（Mo） forms firstly, and then the solid solution Cr（Mo） transforms into the amorphous Cr（Mo）alloy with a few of nanocrystallines when milling is prolonged. At higher milling temperature, it is favorable for the formation of the amorphous phase, as indicated by the thermodynamical calculation for immiscible Cr–Mo alloy system.

文摘The toughness of thermoplastic polymers such as polypropylene(PP)can be improved by adding elastomers-based toughening agents,and the phase morphology of these toughening agents is very important for the strength and toughness of PP.The low-temperature toughness of PP was improved by inserting high-density polyethylene(HDPE)between PP and polystyrene-b-ethylene-co-propyleneb-polystyrene(SEPS)to form an unusual SEPS@HDPE core–shell structure,with SEPS as the core and HDPE as the shell.Based on the microtopography and rheological behavior characterization,HDPE in PP/SEPS/HDPE composites was found to serve as an emulsifier,decrease the size of SEPS particles,and promote the homogeneous dispersion of dispersed phase particles in the matrix.An increase in the HDPE content shifted the toughening mechanism of PP composites from cavitation to matrix shear yielding.The reduction in the distance between the dispersed core–shell structure particles promoted shear yielding in the PP composites,leading to increased toughness.The creation of an intermediate HDPE layer with a moderate modulus was crucial for dispersing stress concentrations and significantly improving toughness without compromising the tensile strength.These findings will facilitate the fabrication of high-toughness PP products at low temperatures.

文摘Two batches of Bi‐2212 precursor powder with Sr/Ca=2.24,2.33 were prepared by the spray pyrolysis tech-nology.Then two Bi‐2212 superconducting wires marked as Line4 and Line8‐2 were prepared by the above powders.Line4 with Sr/Ca=2.24 showed much higher phase purity,higher texture and its critical current density(J_(c))was 1.5 times that of Line8‐2 with Sr/Ca=2.33.Their micro‐structure evolution was scrutinized by quenching each wire at 7 instantaneous moments during the partial melting process(PMP).Bi‐2212 was found to decompose into(Sr,Ca)_(14)Cu_(24)O_(x)(14:24AEC),Bi_(9)Sr_(11)Ca_(5)O_(x)(9:16CF),Bi‐rich liquid Bi‐2212 and Bi‐rich solid Bi‐2212 at the initial stage of PMP.When Bi‐2212 began to solidify,the above four phases reacted to generate Bi‐2212.By analyzing the particle size,the content and the composition variation for 14:24AEC,9:16CF as well as the composition variation for Bi‐2212 matrix in above 7 moments of PMP,the phase evolu-tion’s difference between two wires was finally confirmed.The formation energy of 14:24AEC was smaller compared with 9:16CF,while 9:16CF was faster on dynamics.14:24AEC determined the whole synthetic reac-tion’s rate of Bi‐2212,and Sr/Ca as well as its value fluctuation in Bi‐2212 precursor powder can decide both the timeline and the driving force of PMP.A larger Sr/Ca in Line8‐2 made it melt earlier compared with Line4,which led to its earlier timeline during the melting stage of PMP.While the more consistent phase evolution’s pace between 14:24AEC and 9:16CF in Line4 finally contributed a larger Sr/Ca after solidification.Both the larger Sr/Ca and its larger fluctuation in Line4 finally contributed to its faster phase evolution’s pace,higher phase purity,better texture and higher J_(c).The deep logic driving the phase evolution mechanism in Bi‐2212 wires was disclosed for the first time,which will be very helpful to the future improvement of J_(c)for Bi‐2212 wires.

文摘Distortion manipulation emerges as an efficient approach to obtain desired perovskite phases for various applications.In part I of this study,we propose a paradigm to quantify the structural distortion manipulation,which enables us to obtain desired perovskite phases by translating relevant materials research into a single mathematical question.As part II of this continuous study,we construct normalized structures by introducing all possible couplings of dominant distortions into a cubic supercell and then compare them with variously shaped primitive/conventional cells known in the database.The structure comparison demonstrates that distortions are the only cause for phase and property variations.This confirms that our proposed distortion parameters can be directly used to construct phases,providing theoretical support for the paradigm in Part I.Given the limited number of distortion types,we identify that the positional relations involved in distortion arrangements and couplings are the keys to describe numerous phases.Furtherly,a three-step workflow is proposed with core contents related to the positional relation,distortion hierarchy,and distortion-component-generation ordering in spatial dimension,respectively.The definition basis and value changes of distortion/model parameters in this workflow illustration provide guidelines about how to reveal the logic behind the perovskite phase evolution.
