Thermal properties of polyacrylonitrile homopolymer （PAN）, poly（acrylonitrile/itaconic acid） [P（AN/IA）] and poly（acrylonitrile/itaconic acid/acrylamide） [P（AN/IA/AM）] were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry in detail. It was found that AM had the ability to initiate and accelerate thermal oxidative stabilization process, which was confirmed by the lower initiation temperature and broader exothermic peak in P（AN/IA/AM） as compared with that in P（AN/IA） and PAN. The intensity of heat releasing during the thermal treatment was relaxed due to the presence of two separated exothermic peaks. Accompanied by DSC analysis and calculation of the apparent activation energy of cyclization reaction, two peaks were assigned to the ionic and free radical induction mechanisms, respectively. The higher rate constant in P（AN/IA/AM） indicated that the ionic mechanism actually had a kinetic advantage at promoting thermal stability over the free radical mechanism. This study clearly show that the synthesized P（AN/IA/AM） terpolymers possess larger room to adjust manufacture parameters to fabricate high performance of PAN-based carbon fibers.展开更多

The variation in rheological and filtration characteristics of water-based drilling fluid with varying concentrations of HCNs were compared between the cases before and after thermal aging. The results demonstrated that HCNs had little influence on the rheological properties of bentonite base mud,but could effectively reduce its filtration loss after thermal aging at 220℃ For polymer-based drilling fluid, HCNs also exhibited minor influence on the rheology. The H-B model was the best fitting model for the rheological curves before thermal aging. After hot rolling at 220℃,the viscosity retention rate increased from 29% to 63%-90% with addition of HCNs, and the filtration loss decreased by 78% with 1.0w/v% HCNs. Meanwhile, the polymer-based drilling fluid with 0.5 w/v% HCNs maintained relatively stable rheology and low filtration loss after statically thermal aging at 200℃ for 96 h. For a bentonitefree water-based drilling fluid prepared mainly with modified natural polymers, the viscosity retention increased from 21% to 74% after hot rolling at 150℃ with 0.5 w/v% HCNs, and was further improved when HCNs and potassium formate were used in combination. The mechanism study revealed that,HCNs could trap dissolved oxygen, scavenge the free radicals and cross link with polymers, which prevented thermal oxidative degradation of polymers and improved the thermal stability of water-based drilling fluid. Meanwhile, HCNs could inhibit clay hydration and swelling in synergy with partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide by physically sealing the micropores, contributing to shale formation stability.Furthermore, HCNs could effectively improve the lubrication and anti-wear performance of drilling fluid.This study indicated that HCNs could act as green, sustainable, and versatile additives in water-based drilling fluid.展开更多

文摘This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in aluminum-based conductor alloys engineered to achieve superior mechanical strength and thermal stability without sacrificing electrical conductivity.Particular emphasis is placed on the role of microalloying elements—particularly Sc and Zr-in promoting the formation of coherent nanoscale precipitates such as Al_(3)Zr,Al_(3)Sc,and core-shell Al_(3)(Sc,Zr)with metastable L1_(2)crystal structures.These precipitates contribute significantly to high-temperature performance by enabling precipitation strengthening and stabilizing grain boundaries.The review also explores the emerging role of other rare earth elements(REEs),such as erbium(Er),in accelerating precipitation kinetics and improving thermal stability by retarding coarsening.Additionally,recent advancements in thermomechanical processing strategies are examined,with a focus on scalable approaches to optimize the strength-conductivity balance.These approaches involve multi-step heat treatments and carefully controlled manufacturing sequences,particularly the combination of cold drawing and aging treatment to promote uniform and effective precipitation.This review offers valuable insights to guide the development of cost-effective,high-strength,heat-resistant aluminum alloys beyond conductor applications,particularly those strengthened through microalloying with Sc and Zr.

Thermal properties of polyacrylonitrile homopolymer （PAN）, poly（acrylonitrile/itaconic acid） [P（AN/IA）] and poly（acrylonitrile/itaconic acid/acrylamide） [P（AN/IA/AM）] were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry in detail. It was found that AM had the ability to initiate and accelerate thermal oxidative stabilization process, which was confirmed by the lower initiation temperature and broader exothermic peak in P（AN/IA/AM） as compared with that in P（AN/IA） and PAN. The intensity of heat releasing during the thermal treatment was relaxed due to the presence of two separated exothermic peaks. Accompanied by DSC analysis and calculation of the apparent activation energy of cyclization reaction, two peaks were assigned to the ionic and free radical induction mechanisms, respectively. The higher rate constant in P（AN/IA/AM） indicated that the ionic mechanism actually had a kinetic advantage at promoting thermal stability over the free radical mechanism. This study clearly show that the synthesized P（AN/IA/AM） terpolymers possess larger room to adjust manufacture parameters to fabricate high performance of PAN-based carbon fibers.

文摘Micrometer-sized,irregularly shaped Ti particles(0.5wt%and 1.0wt%)were mixed with an Al-Si-Mg-Zr matrix powder,and a novel Ti-modified Al-Si-Mg-Zr aluminum alloy was subsequently fabricated via laser-powder bed fusion(L-PBF).The results demonstrated that the introduction of Ti particles promoted the formation of near-fully equiaxed grains in the alloy owing to the strong grain refinement of the primary(Al,Si)3(Ti,Zr)nanoparticles.Furthermore,the presence of(Al,Si)3(Ti,Zr)nanoparticles inhibited the decomposition of Si-rich cell boundaries and the precipitation of Si nanoparticles in theα-Al cells.The ultimate tensile strength(UTS),yield strength(YS),and elongation of the asbuilt 0.5wt%Ti(0.5Ti)alloy were(468±11),(350±1)MPa,and(10.0±1.4)%,respectively,which are comparable to those of the L-PBF Al-Si-Mg-Zr matrix alloy and significantly higher than those of traditional L-PBF Al-Si-Mg alloys.After direct aging treatment at 150°C,the precipitation of secondary nanoparticles notably enhanced the strength of the 0.5Ti alloy.Specifically,the 0.5Ti alloy achieved a maximum UTS of(479±11)MPa and YS of(376±10)MPa.At 250°C,the YS of the L-PBF Ti/Al-Si-Mg-Zr alloy was higher than that of the L-PBF Al-Si-Mg-Zr matrix alloy due to the retention of Si-rich cell boundaries,indicating a higher thermal stability.As the aging temperature was increased to 300°C,the dissolution of Si-rich cell boundaries,desolvation of solid-solution elements,and coarsening of nanoprecipitates led to a decrease in the UTS and YS of the alloy to below 300 and 200 MPa,respectively.However,the elongation increased significantly.

文摘Although phase-change random-access memory(PCRAM)is a promising next-generation nonvolatile memory technology,challenges remain in terms of reducing energy consumption.This is primarily be-cause the high thermal conductivities of phase-change materials(PCMs)promote Joule heating dissi-pation.Repeated phase transitions also induce long-range atomic diffusion,limiting the durability.To address these challenges,phase-change heterostructure(PCH)devices that incorporate confinement sub-layers based on transition-metal dichalcogenide materials have been developed.In this study,we engi-neered a PCH device by integrating HfTe_(2),which has low thermal conductivity and excellent stability,into the PCM to realize PCRAM with enhanced thermal efficiency and structural stability.HEAT sim-ulations were conducted to validate the superior heat confinement in the programming region of the HfTe_(2)-based PCH device.Moreover,electrical measurements of the device demonstrated its outstanding performance,which was characterized by a low RESET current(∼1.6 mA),stable two-order ON/OFF ratio,and exceptional cycling endurance(∼2×10^(7)).The structural integrity of the HfTe_(2)confinement sub-layer was confirmed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy.The material properties,including electrical conductivity,cohesive energy,and electronegativity,substantiated these findings.Collectively,these results revealed that the HfTe_(2)-based PCH device can achieve significant improvements in performance and reliability compared with conventional PCRAM devices.

文摘The future large-scale application of sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)is inseparable from their excellent electrochemical performance and reliable safety characteristics.At present,there are few studies focusing on their safety performance.The analysis of thermal stability and structural changes within a single material cannot systematically describe the complex interplay of components within the battery system during the thermal runaway process.Furthermore,the reaction between the battery materials themselves and their counterparts within the system can stimulate more intense exothermic behavior,thereby affecting the safety of the entire battery system.Therefore,this study delved into the thermal generation and gas evolution characteristics of the positive electrode(Na_(x)Ni_(1/3)Fe_(1/3)Mn_(1/3)O_(2),NFM111)and the negative electrode(hard carbon,HC)in SIBs,utilizing various material combinations.Through the integration of microscopic and macroscopic characterization techniques,the underlying reaction mechanisms of the positive and negative electrode materials within the battery during the heating process were elucidated.Three important results are derived from this study:(Ⅰ)The instability of the solid electrolyte interphase(SEI)leads to its decomposition at temperatures below 100℃,followed by extensive decomposition within the range of 100-150℃,yielding heat and the formation of inorganic compounds,such as Na_(2)CO_(3)and Na_(2)O;(Ⅱ)The reaction between NFM111 and the electrolyte constitutes the primary exothermic event during thermal abuse,with a discernible reaction also occurring between sodium metal and the electrolyte throughout the heating process;(Ⅲ)The heat production and gas generation behaviors of multi-component reactions do not exhibit complete correlation,and the occurrence of gas production does not necessarily coincide with thermal behavior.The results presented in this study can provide useful guidance for the safety improvement of SIBs.
文摘Thermal quenching(TQ)at elevated temperature is a major factor affecting the luminescent intensity and efficiency of phosphors.Improving the thermal stability of phosphors and weakening the TQ effect are of significance for the high-quality illumination of phosphor-converted WLEDs.Here,a novel red-emitting phosphor K_(2)Zn(PO_(3))_(4)∶Mn^(2+)is synthesized by standard high temperature solid state reaction in ambient atmosphere,which is a new member of self-reduction system.An effective synthesis strategy is proposed to optimize its photoluminescent performances.Combined with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy,oxygen vacancy defects introduced by Mn doping are proved to play an important role in the transition of Mn^(4+)→Mn^(2+).Thermoluminescence analysis reveals that the distribution of trap levels,especially the deep ones,is effectively regulated by the controllable crystallization and significantly affect the thermal stability of phosphors.Then a defect-assisted model is proposed to address the inner mechanism of the phenomenon.The carriers trapped by deep trap levels can be released under the high-temperature stimulus,which return back to the luminescent centers and participate in the radiative recombination to improve thermal stability.This study provides a new crystallographic idea and theoretical support for obtaining luminescent materials with high thermal stability.

文摘The effect of W-doping on the structure and properties of TiAlSiN coatings was investigated through scanning electron microscopy,X-ray diffraction,differential scanning calorimetry,and nanoindentation.Tungsten doping in the coatings forms both substitution solid solution of Ti and/or Al in TiAlN and W simple substance.W-addition improves the surface quality of the coatings.Ti_(0.46)Al_(0.45)Si_(0.09)N,Ti_(0.43)Al_(0.46)Si_(0.08)W_(0.03)N,and Ti_(0.41)Al_(0.46)Si_(0.07)W_(0.06)N present similar hardness of(29.1±0.4),(29.7±1.1),and(30.2±1.0)GPa,respectively.During annealing,Ti_(0.41)Al_(0.46)Si_(0.07)W_(0.06)N achieves peak hardness of(35.3±1.0)GPa at 1100℃,whereas those of Ti_(0.46)Al_(0.45)Si_(0.09)N and Ti_(0.43)Al_(0.46)Si_(0.08)W_(0.03)N are only(33.1±0.8)and(33.9±0.8)GPa at 1000℃.Furthermore,moderate W-addition(3 at.%)upgrades the oxidation resistance of TiAlSiN.After oxidation at 1000℃for 10 h,the oxide thicknesses of Ti_(0.46)Al_(0.45)Si_(0.09)N,Ti_(0.43)Al_(0.46)S_(i0.08)W_(0.03)N,and Ti_(0.41)Al_(0.46)Si_(0.07)W_(0.06)N are~0.70,~0.52,and~0.90μm,respectively.

文摘In this study, hydrothermal carbon nanospheres(HCNs) were prepared by hydrothermal carbonization using glucose as the precursor, and introduced to improve the properties of water-based drilling fluid for the first time. The variation in rheological and filtration characteristics of water-based drilling fluid with varying concentrations of HCNs were compared between the cases before and after thermal aging. The results demonstrated that HCNs had little influence on the rheological properties of bentonite base mud,but could effectively reduce its filtration loss after thermal aging at 220℃ For polymer-based drilling fluid, HCNs also exhibited minor influence on the rheology. The H-B model was the best fitting model for the rheological curves before thermal aging. After hot rolling at 220℃,the viscosity retention rate increased from 29% to 63%-90% with addition of HCNs, and the filtration loss decreased by 78% with 1.0w/v% HCNs. Meanwhile, the polymer-based drilling fluid with 0.5 w/v% HCNs maintained relatively stable rheology and low filtration loss after statically thermal aging at 200℃ for 96 h. For a bentonitefree water-based drilling fluid prepared mainly with modified natural polymers, the viscosity retention increased from 21% to 74% after hot rolling at 150℃ with 0.5 w/v% HCNs, and was further improved when HCNs and potassium formate were used in combination. The mechanism study revealed that,HCNs could trap dissolved oxygen, scavenge the free radicals and cross link with polymers, which prevented thermal oxidative degradation of polymers and improved the thermal stability of water-based drilling fluid. Meanwhile, HCNs could inhibit clay hydration and swelling in synergy with partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide by physically sealing the micropores, contributing to shale formation stability.Furthermore, HCNs could effectively improve the lubrication and anti-wear performance of drilling fluid.This study indicated that HCNs could act as green, sustainable, and versatile additives in water-based drilling fluid.

文摘A novel oxide-dispersion-strengthened(ODS)die steel was fabricated by mechanical alloying and hot consolidation.Annealing and quench-tempering treatments both obtained an ultra-fine grain structure(mean size:310-330 nm)with an ultra-high density of ultra-fine Y-Al-O nano-oxides(number density:~(1-1.5)×10^(23)m^(−3),mean size:5.1-7.2 nm).Prolonged thermal exposure further induced the new,highly dense precipitation of ultra-fine Y-Zr-O nano-oxides.Both nano-oxides tended to be wrapped up with a B2-NiAl nano-shells.Although the quench-tempered sample showed much higher room-temperature strength(yield strength=1393±40 MPa and ultimate tensile strength=1774±11 MPa)and slightly lower elongation(elongation=13.6%±0.6%)than the annealed sample(YS=988±7 MPa,UTS=1490±12 MPa,and EL=15.2%±1.1%),both samples exhibited better strength-ductility synergy at room temperature and much higher thermal stabilities at high temperatures(600-700℃)than all those conventional hot-work die steels,which makes the new ODS steel highly promising for advanced hot-work mold and die applications at high temperatures above 600℃.

文摘It is urgent to develop high-performance polyimide(PI)films that simultaneously exhibit high transparency,exceptional thermal stability,mechanical robustness,and low dielectric to fulfil the requirements of flexible display technologies.Herein,a series of fluorinated polyimide films(FPIs)were fabricated by the condensation of 5,5′-(perfluoropropane-2,2-diyl)bis(isobenzofuran-1,3-dione)(6FDA)and the fluorinated triphenylmethane diamine monomer(EDA,MEDA and DMEDA)with heat-crosslinkable tetrafluorostyrene side groups,which was incorporated by different numbers of methyl groups pendant in the ortho position of amino groups.Subsequently,the FPI films underwent heating to produce crosslinking FPIs(C-FPIs)through the self-crosslinking of double bonds in the tetrafluorostyrene.The transparency,solvent resistance,thermal stability,mechanical robustness and dielectric properties of FPI and C-FPI films can be tuned by the number of methyl groups and crosslinking,which were deeply investigated by virtue of molecular dynamics(MD)simulations and density functional theory(DFT).As a result,all the films exhibited exceptional optically colorless and transparent,with transmittance in the visible region of 450-700 nm exceeding 79.9%,and the cut-off wavelengths(λ_(off))were nearly 350 nm.The thermal decomposition temperatures at 5% weight loss(T_(d5%))for all samples exceeded 504℃.These films exhibited a wide range of tunable tensile strength(46.5-75.1 MPa).Significantly,they showed exceptional dielectric properties with the dielectric constant of 2.3-2.5 at full frequency(10^(7)-20 Hz).This study not only highlights the relationship between the polymer molecular structure and properties,but offer insights for balancing optical transparency,heat resistance and low dielectric constant in PI films.

文摘High-efficient rubber antioxidants for enhanced heat resistance without compromising mechanical properties remain an enormous and long-term challenge for the rubber industry.Herein,we employed the in-situ growth of Ce-doped Co-metal-organic framework(Ce Co-MOF)in dendritic mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles(DMONs@Ce Co-MOF,denoted as DCCM)to prepare a novel antioxidant that exhibit outstanding thermal stability.Dendritic mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles(DMONs)effectively alleviated the incompatibility of Ce Co-MOF in the polymer matrix,and the effective scavenging of free radicals was attributed to the various oxidation states of metal ions in Ce Co-MOF.Surprising,by adding only0.5 phr(parts per hundred of rubber)of DMONs@Ce Co-MOF to silicone rubber,(SR),the retention rate of tensile strength increased from 37.3%to 61.6%after aging 72 h at 250℃,and the retention rate of elongation at break of DCCM/SR1 composites reached 68%,which was 5.43 times of SR.The strategy of anchoring MOFs on the surface of silica also provides a viable method for preparing effective compound functionalized rubber antioxidant.

文摘Low energy-storage density and inferior thermal stability are a long-term obstacle to the advancement of pulse power devices.Herein,these concerns are addressed by improving bandgap and fabricating polar nanoregions,and the superior high efficiency of~86.7%,excellent thermal stability of~2%(31-160℃)and energy density of~6.8 J·cm^(-3)are achieved in Bi_(0.5)Na_(0.5)TiO_(3)-La_(0.1)Sr_(0.8)TiO_(3)-δ-NaNbO_(3)ceramics.The high breakdown strength(460 kV·cm^(-1))is ascribed to the broadened bandgap and refined grain.Slim ferroelectric loops originate from the construction of polar nanoregions(PNRs)in a pseudocubic matrix,and transmission electron microscope and piezoelectric force microscope measurements reveal the occurrence of PNRs.The phase-field stimulation and UV-Vis spectrophotometer measurement reveal that the increased grain boundary density and bandgap are beneficial for promoting breakdown strength.The strategy provides an efficient path to prepare Bi_(0.5)Na_(0.5)TiO_(3)La_(0.1)Sr_(0.8)TiO_(3)-δ-based ceramics with superior efficiency,high energy density and outstanding thermal stability.

文摘High-temperature long-term microstructural instability is an urgent problem to be solved for high-silicon Fe-Cr-Ni austenitic stainless steel.In this study,we propose a novel strategy to improve the microstructural thermal stability of Si-modified Fe-Cr-Ni austenitic steels via N doping.The microstructural evolution behaviors of N-free and N-doping steels were systematically investigated during aging at 783-923 K.The findings indicate that N doping results in substantial grain refinement and improves the strength of the steel.Importantly,it is found that N doping inhibits the premature segregation of Ni,Cr,Si,and Mo at grain boundaries by reducing their diffusion coefficients,thereby suppressing the generation of intergranular M_(6) C carbides during aging at 783 K,achieving superior thermal stability.In contrast,N-free steel exhibits microstructural instability due to theγ→M_(6) C+ferrite transformation during aging at 783 K.At 823 and 873 K,it is concluded that the diffusion of alloying elements accelerates,resulting in the formation of M_(6) C and ferrite in N-doping steel and subsequent microstructural instability.It contributes to a decrease in impact toughness,as microcracks tend to form at the ferrite domain and M_(6) C/ferrite interface with high strain concentration.Notably,when aged at 923 K,N-doping steel exhibits a cellular structure composed of M_(23) C_(6) and M_(6) C carbonitrides,with Nb(C,N)serving as the nucleation site within the grains.This differs from the intragranularχ-phase observed in N-free steel,as the nucleation driving force of theχ-phase decreases with an increasing N content.The study offers valuable insights for the development of fastener materials intended for utilization in lead-cooled fast reactors.

文摘Nowadays,high-quality phosphor-converted white light-emitting diodes(pc-WLEDs)ought to include cyan-emitting phosphors allowing for full-spectrum light similar to sunlight.Herein,we report a garnetstructured Ce^(3+)-doped SrLu_(2)Ga_(1.5)Al_(2.5)SiO_(12)(SLGASO)phosphor that significantly compensates for the absence of cyan light,known as the"cyan cavity".The SLGASO host crystallizes into a cubic structure with the Ia3d space group.The cell parameters were determined using Rietveld refinement.Under430 nm blue excitation,SLGASO:Ce^(3+)emits intense cyan-green light in the 450-700 nm wavelength range.The representative SLGASO:0.07Ce^(3+)phosphor has an internal quantum efficiency(IQE)of 95.4%and excellent thermal stability,remaining 92.7%of its initial emission intensity at 152℃.After 155 d of immersion in water,the luminous intensity of SLGASO:0.07Ce^(3+)remains constant,confirming its waterproofness.Furthermore,a pc-WLED device with luminous efficiency(LE)of 101.58 lm/W,color rendering index(Ra)of 91,correlated color temperature(CCT)of 4536 K,and Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage(CIE)chromaticity coordinates of(0.3555,0.3390)was fabricated by combining asprepared cyan-green-emitting SLGASO:0.07Ce^(3+),yellow-emitting Y_(3)Al_(5)O_(12):Ce^(3+)(YAG:Ce^(3+)),and redemitting(Ca,Sr)AlSiN_(3):Eu^(2+)phosphors,as well as a 450 nm blue chip.These findings indicate that SLGASO:0.07Ce^(3+)phosphor can bridge the cyan gap and improve the performance of as-fabricated fullvisible-spectrum WLEDs.

文摘Dye-based color films are increasingly considered as viable alternatives to pigment-based color films in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor(CMOS) image sensors.Herein,a series of azo dyes utilizing 5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-(2-phenylhydrazono)-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one as the coupling component and aromatic amines with various electron-withdrawing groups(NO_(2),CN,Br) as diazo components were designed and synthesized.The presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the hydrogen atom on the N-H group and the oxygen atom of the C=O group of the hydrazo structure facilitates the formation of a stable six-membered ring.Additionally,the electron-withdrawing groups in the diazo component further stabilize this hydrogen-bonded structure.As a result,these azo dyes(P-2,P-3,P-4,P-5)exhibit not only excellent light stability but also ultra-highly thermal stability(T_(d)> 260℃).Therein,the synthesized dyes P-2 and P-3 with great bright yellow color(~400 nm),proper solubility(~6.00g/100 g)were selected to make for color films.And their dye-based color films displayed ultra-highly thermal and light stability(color difference ΔE<3).Notably,the increased planarity of the molecular structure by hydrogen bonding for the novel dyes ensures a balance between high transmittance(>90%) in the 550-780 nm wavelength range and the solvent resistance of the dye-based color films.This work contributes to the advancement of next-generation smart CMOS devices and offers valuable insights into the design of azo dyes for applications in the field of organic electronics.

文摘Achieving high thermal stability in the 6xxx series alloys remains a challenging task,which limits their engineering application.Herein,Al-Mg-Si-Cu alloys with various Mg/Si ratios(0.5,1,2,and 4)were fab-ricated by twin-roll casting(TRC),and the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties during long-term thermal exposure of 150℃/1000 h were studied.The results disclosed that alloys with a high Mg/Si ratio exhibited better thermal stability.The alloys with the Mg/Si ratio of 2(Mg/Si∼2)achieved a stable high yield strength of∼330 MPa and meanwhile maintained a satisfactory fracture elongation(>10%)throughout the thermal exposure process.This excellent thermal stability can be attributed to the microstructure consisting of high-density L phases and fineα-AlFeSi phases,which was related to the optimized Mg/Si ratio.Specifically,L phases were dominated in peak-aged Mg/Si∼2 alloys,while the counterparts in alloys with the Mg/Si ratio of 1(Mg/Si∼1)wereβ’’and Q’phases.During the thermal exposure process,the L phases remained stable without coarsening,which was mainly due to the high coherence and low interfacial energy of the L-matrix interface.Meanwhile,the main Fe-containing phases in Mg/Si∼2 and Mg/Si∼1 alloys were fine near-spheroidalα-AlFeSi and large-size needle-likeβ-AlFeSi,re-spectively,which lead to a better ductility of Mg/Si∼2 alloys.This work may provide a strategy for the preparation of 6xxx series alloys with high thermal stability.

文摘A dilute Mg-0.7Al-0.3Ca(AX0703,wt%)alloy with high strength is developed via conventional low-temperature extrusion,with tensile yield strength of 376 MPa and elongation of 5.3%.As-extruded AX0703 sample exhibits the bimodal grain structures consisting of dynamically recrystallized(DRXed)ultrafine grains and coarse non-DRXed grains with strong basal texture,which contributes to the strength.The numerous nano-Al2Ca phases were developed in non-DRXed grains during extrusion,which not only generates the remarkable precipitation hardening effect,but also favors the improved thermal stability by retarding recrystallization process.Also,it is found that co-segregations of Al-Ca solutes at DRXed grain boundaries hinder grain growth during heat treatment at 300℃,contributing to the thermal stability of as-extruded AX0703 alloy.This work provides valuable insights into the development of high-strength and low-alloyed Mg extrusions with high thermostability.

文摘The simultaneous integration of high energy density,low sensitivity,and thermal stability in energetic materials has constituted a century-long scientific challenge.Herein,we address this through a dualzwitterionic electronic delocalization strategy,yielding TYX-3,the first bis-inner salt triazolo-tetrazine framework combining these mutually exclusive properties.Uniformπ-electron distribution and elevated bond dissociation energy confer exceptional thermal stability(T_(d)=365℃)with TATB-level insensitivity(impact sensitivity IS>40 J,friction sensitivity FS>360 N).Engineeredπ-stacked networks enable record density(1.99 g·cm^(-3))with detonation performance surpassing HMX benchmarks(detonation velocity 9315 m·s^(-1),detonation pressure 36.6 GPa).Practical implementation in Poly(3-nitratomethyl-3-methyloxetane)(PNMMFO)solid propellants demonstrates 5.4-fold safety enhancement over conventional HMX-based formulations while maintaining equivalent specific impulse.This work establishes a new design paradigm for energetic materials,overcoming the historical trade-offs between molecular stability and energy output through rational zwitterionic engineering.
