The interfacial structure and mechanical properties were analyzed. The results show that the plasticity of bonded joint is improved significantly. When the bonding temperature is 800 °C or 900 °C, there is not intermetallic layer at the interface between stainless steel and niobium. When the bonding temperature is 1000 °C or 1050 °C, Fe-Nb intermetallic layer forms at the interface. When the bonding temperature is 1050 °C, cracking occurs between stainless steel and intermetallic layer. The maximum strength of -417.5 MPa is obtained at the bonding temperature of 900 °C, the reduction of 25% and the rolling speed of 38 mm/s, and the tensile specimen fractures in the niobium interlayer with plastic fracture characteristics. When the hot-roll bonded transition joints were TIG welded with titanium alloy and stainless steel respectively, the tensile strength of the transition joints after TIG welding is -410.3 MPa, and the specimen fractures in the niobium interlayer.展开更多

The experiment of post-weld heat treatment for the hot roll bonded titanium alloy-stainless steel joint using nickels interlayer was carried out, and the interface microstructure evolution due to heat treatment was presented. There was not found significant interdiffusion at stainless steel/nickel interface, when the specimens were heat treated in the temperature range of 600-800 °C for 10 and 30 min, while micro-cracks occurred at the stainless steel/nickel interface heat treated at 700 °C for 30 min. The thickness of intermetallic layers at nickel/titanium alloy interface increased at 600 °C, and micro-cracks occurred at 700 and 800 °C. The micro-cracks occurred between intermetallic layers or between intermetallic layer and nickel interlayer as well. The tensile strength of the transition joint decreased with the increase of heat treatment temperature or holding time.展开更多

Microstructures of the joints were examined by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. Mechanical properties of the joints were evaluated according to tensile strength and microhardness. As a result, influences of filler metals on microstructures and mechanical properties of electron beam welded titanium-stainless steel joints were discussed. The results showed that all the filler metals were helpful to restrain the Ti-Fe intermetallics. The welds with different filler metals were all characterized by solid solution and interfacial intermetallics. For each type of the filler metal, the type of solid solution and interfacial intermetallics depended on the metallurgical reactions between the filler metals and base metals. The interfacial intermetallics were Fe2Ti＋Ni3Ti＋NiTi2, TiFe, and Cu2Ti＋CuTi＋CuTi2 in the joints welded with Ni, V, and Cu filler metals, respectively. The tensile strengths of the joints were dependent on the hardness of the interfacial intermetallics. The joint welded with Ag filler metal had the highest tensile strength, which is about 310 MPa.展开更多

文摘The alcohol-based electrolyte exhibits excellent electropolishing properties for titanium alloys.However,its polishing effectiveness diminishes and the ability to polish is weakened or even lost after a certain duration of electropolishing.Consequently,there is a low reuse rate for these electrolytes,significantly limiting their effi-ciency in electropolishing.In light of this issue,the current study conducted experiments using different elec-trochemical dissolution times on titanium alloy immersed in NaCl-ethylene glycol electrolytes to explore the main reasons for the failure of the electrolyte.Furthermore,a novel method was proposed to restore the elec-tropolishing ability of expired NaCl-ethylene glycol electrolyte.Subsequently,the titanium alloy was electro-polished with recycled alcohol-based electrolyte,and a favorable surface quality was obtained.By this method,the surface roughness Ra of the polished titanium alloy could be improved from Ra 0.498μm of the expired electrolyte to Ra 0.136μm of the recyclable electrolyte.

文摘Micropillar compression tests were used to investigate the influence of hydrogen on the deformation behavior and hydrogen embrittlement(HE)of nitrogen-alloyed austenitic stainless steel QN_(2)109.Results indicate that the hydrogen increases the dislocation density,reduces the yield stress,and accelerates the formation and intersection of slip bands,with hydrogen-induced cracks initiating at slip band intersections.X-ray diffraction confirms the absence of martensitic transformation,ruling out the role of martensitic transformation in HE.The micropillar compression technique is highly sensitive for characterizing hydrogen-material interactions,owing to the material’s low hydrogen diffusivity and the small size of its hydrogen-affected zone.These findings align with the hydrogen-enhanced localized plasticity mechanism.

文摘To elucidate the accelerated degradation mechanisms of metallic interconnects in operational solid oxide fuel cells,the oxidation behavior of FSS430 ferritic stainless steel under the coupling of simultaneous electrical current and high-temperature exposure is investigated.Isothermal thermogravimetric analysis was employed to quantify oxidation kinetics,complemented by microstructural characterization using X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy.Experimental results demonstrate that the applied current dramatically enhances oxidation rates,increasing specific mass gain from 0.25 mg/cm^(2)(0 A/cm^(2))to 5.20 mg/cm^(2)(0.2 A/cm^(2))and oxide scale thickness from 1.87 to 15.62μm after 200 h.This acceleration originates from current-induced electromigration forces that promote cationic transport through the oxide layer.The quantitative relationships between current density and oxidation parameters are established,enabling predictive modeling of interconnector degradation in solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC)systems.

文摘During electrochemical machining(ECM),the passivation film formed on the surface of titanium alloy can lead to uneven dissolution and pitting.Solid particle erosion can effectively remove this passivation film.In this paper,the electrochemical dissolution behavior of Ti-6.5Al-2Zr-1Mo-1V(TA15)titanium alloy at without particle impact,low(15°)and high(90°)angle particle impact was investigated,and the influence of Al_(2)O_(3)particles on ECM was systematically expounded.It was found that under the condition of no particle erosion,the surface of electrochemically processed titanium alloy had serious pitting corrosion due to the influence of the passivation film,and the surface roughness(Sa)of the local area reached 10.088μm.Under the condition of a high-impact angle(90°),due to the existence of strain hardening and particle embedding,only the edge of the surface is dissolved,while the central area is almost insoluble,with the surface roughness(S_(a))reaching 16.086μm.On the contrary,under the condition of a low-impact angle(15°),the machining efficiency and surface quality of the material were significantly improved due to the ploughing effect and galvanic corrosion,and the surface roughness(S_(a))reached 2.823μm.Based on these findings,the electrochemical dissolution model of TA15 titanium alloy under different particle erosion conditions was established.

文摘Different from previous attention on the austenization temperature or dwelling time of PH13-8Mo stainless steels,the effect of the cooling rate on the hierarchical microstructure and mechanical properties was revealed.For all of water,oil,air and furnace cooling,there is almost-complete martensite with the favorable hardenability.The increase in cooling rate mainly increases the density of dislocation and residual strain in the as-solution annealed matrix.After aging treatment,the cooling rate dominates the ratio of high-angle grain boundaries(HAGBs)instead of the size of martensite blocks.The ratio of HAGBs continuously increases with the decreased cooling rate,while the width of blocks maintains 2.40-2.49μm.Meanwhile,more reversed austenite distributes at the martensite sub-grain boundaries.By comparison,the increased rate of water cooling contributes to a favorable precipitation of NiAl with fine size and dispersive distribution caused by more accumulated internal defects of vacancies and dislocations.With the decrease of cooling rate,NiAl precipitates exhibits a similar diameter of~7 nm while a larger inter-particle distance of~22 nm.In the case of low cooling rate(oil,air and furnace),the stable precipitation strengthening effect contributes to a high yield strength of~1.3 GPa and ultimate tensile strength of~1.4 GPa.The high-ratio HAGBs,reversed austenite and NiAl precipitates with larger-interparticle distance synergistically improve the impact toughness(V-notched Charpy impact energy of 100-110 J).

文摘350 keV He^(+) ions were injected into laser powder bed fusion(LPBF)-processed 304L stainless steel and traditional rolled 304L stainless steel with a flux of 1×10^(17) ions/cm^(2) at room temperature,followed by annealing at 750℃ for 10,100,and 300 h,respectively.The results showed that material swelling due to helium bubble coarsening was almost not observed in either the LPBF or rolled samples after 10 h of annealing duration.Rapid coarsening and swelling of bubbles occurred in the rolled samples,but only moderate bubble growth occurred in the LPBF sample after annealing for 100 h.After annealing for 300 h,the helium bubbles in both samples tended to grow steadily.For 10 h of annealing,the irradiated samples were in a disequilibrium state,and the apparent activation energy(E^(act))calculated by the Arrhenius model determined that helium atoms tended to diffuse through the displacement mechanism,and helium bubbles grew under the migration and coalescence(MC)mechanism.With annealing times over 100 h,the high-density dislocations and nano-oxide particles in the LPBF sample still had a strong trapping effect on the movement and growth of helium bubbles.After annealing for 300 h,the cellular subgrains in the LPBF sample decomposed,and the nano-oxide particles had no trapping effect on the helium bubbles.At this time,the dislocation structure played a primary role in suppressing the growth of helium bubbles,and the radiation resistance of the LPBF sample remained superior to that of the rolled samples.

文摘Cold deformation treatment of Cu-bearing stainless steel through a cold rolling process combined with electric pulse treatment(EPT)can significantly improve the microstructure and formability of cold-rolled Cu-bearing stainless steel.The microstructure after EPT was characterized by scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,and in-situ tensile testing.It is found that compared with conventional heat treatment,EPT process can significantly promote the nucleation rate and mobility at grain boundaries of the deformed samples,greatly accelerating the recovery and static recrystallization of Cu-bearing stainless steel samples at lower temperatures and contributing to the recovery of anisotropy and the re-molding of deformed samples.Microstructural characterization and theoretical analyses show that the rapid recrystallization during EPT process is caused not only by Joule heating effects but also by non-thermal effects that accelerate grain boundary migration and dislocation destruction and regeneration.In addition,EPT process significantly accelerated the nucleation and precipitation growth of Cu-rich phase.The coarsening of Cu-rich phase during EPT process is due to not only the high vacancy diffusion coefficient under the action of the electric pulse but also the increase in the vacancy diffusion flux induced by the electromigration in the process of the electric pulse.

文摘Effects of thermo-mechanical Laser Shock Peening without Absorbing Coating(LSPwC)on the dual-phase structural evolution and the potential of LSPwC in the corrosion resistance of2Cr13 martensitic stainless steel were investigated.A Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminium Garnet(Nd:YAG)laser with a pulse energy of 7.6 J was used for the LSPwC treatment.Microstructural changes were characterized using X-Ray Diffraction(XRD),Transmission Electron Microscopy(TEM)and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy(XPS).Corrosion behavior was evaluated via Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy(EIS)and Potentiodynamic Polarization(PDP)measurements,and the morphology of corrosion pits was observed using Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM).Results show that the LSPwC treatment led to an obvious reduction in the corrosion resistance owing to the precipitation of numerous Cr_(8)O_(21),surface roughening and tensile residual stress generated by laser ablation.However,LSPwC with subsequent treatment of slight ablation layer removal brought about 13.5 fold increase in charge transfer resistance and about 83.6% reduction of passive current density,and the significant improvement in the corrosion resistance is attributed to the Cr2O3-rich surface passive film resulting from Cr_(15.58)Fe_(7.42)C_(6)decomposition caused by LSPwC-induced mechanical effects.

文摘The traditional"trial and error"microstructural control method,with high cost and low efficiency,has become a key issue restricting the development of ultra-high strength and toughness titanium alloys.This study adopts the molybdenum equivalent(Mo_([eq]))method to rapidly design Ti-xMo-4Al-4Zr-3Nb-2Cr-1Fe alloys(x=5-9).The as-cast alloys with different Mo_([eq])exhibit a single peak of theβphase in XRD.Theβgrains of 5Mo alloy(the lowest Mo_([eq]))exhibit elongated columnar grain characteristics.As the Mo_([eq])increases,theβgrains transition towards a more equiaxed form,resulting in a decrease in aspect ratio and a reduction in grain size.As the Mo_([eq])increases,the a phase content gradually decreases and the a phase is almost unobservable in 9Mo alloy(the highest Mo_([eq])).The a phase in 5Mo alloy exhibits short rod-shaped shapes with an average length of about2.4μm,while the a phase in 6Mo alloy shows an equiaxed and short rod shapes with the smallest size.The strength,plasticity,and toughness are the lowest in 5Mo alloy,with values of 867 MPa,7.3%,and 56 MPa·m^(1/2),respectively.However,it reaches its maximum in 6Mo alloy,where the strength,plasticity,and toughness increase to 984 MPa,12.8%,and 74 MPa·m^(1/2),respectively.The mechanical properties of Ti-xMo-4Al-4Zr-3Nb-2Cr-1Fe alloys are affected mainly by solid-solution strengthening of Mo element,refinement ofβgrain,and changes inα/βphase content.This study lays a certain theoretical foundation for the theoretical research and composition development of new ultra-high strength and toughness titanium alloys.

文摘Incorporating ceramic particles into metal matrices is a proven strategy for boosting mechanical properties and wear resistance.The reinforcement potential of tungsten carbide(WC)particles in 316L stainless steel is revealed,utilizing selective laser melting(SLM)to fabricate composites with 5 and 10 vol.%WC.The WC incorporation markedly alters the composite’s microstructure and mechanical attributes.Notably,5 vol.%WC-316L composite exhibits a refined submicron cellular structure,averaging 0.67μm in grain size.Elemental diffusion at WC-316L interface formed a 0.8μm gradient transition layer enriched with M_(2)C carbides(Fe,Cr,W),ensuring robust metallurgical bonding.Compared with unreinforced 316L,5%WC composite exhibits a 70%increase in tensile strength,reaching 1012.6 MPa,and a 25.3%rise in hardness,while maintaining acceptable ductility.10%WC composite achieves a 70.8%hardness enhancement,albeit with reduced elongation.Friction coefficient is reduced by up to 17.3%,and the wear mechanism shifts from adhesive to abrasive,significantly improving wear resistance.

文摘The strength-ductility synergy in heterogeneous materials offers significant advantages,though their scalable and controlled fabrication remains challenging.This study introduces an in situ fabrication strategy for heterogeneous lamellar titanium(HLT)alloy via laser powder bed fusion of a powder mixture consisting of Ti6Al4V(TC4)and 3 wt%Fe.By periodically varying the scanning velocity between layers,a heterogeneous lamellar microstructure is achieved due to the unique Fe distribution originating from the various volumetric energy densities(VEDs).Consequently,the HLT achieves high yield strength(1036 MPa)and ultimate tensile strength(1419 MPa)without compromising uniform elongation(UE),surpassing most TC4 alloys.The high strength may be attributed to precipitation strengthening originating from the nano-sizedαandωprecipitates,while the high UE and work hardening arise from the strain-induced martensite(SIM)and strong hetero-deformation induced(HDI)stress.The denser dual-phase interfaces and smaller grains in the low VED layers contribute to the higher sensitivity to the SIM.A strain gradient between soft and hard layers evolves during loading,and it further enhances the HDI strengthening and SIM behavior.Through this work,the in situ fabrication method and the deformation mechanism of lamellar heterostructure could offer valuable reference for the optimization and application of heterogeneous materials.

文摘Colitis-associated colorectal cancer(CAC)is a major contributor to cancer-related mortality worldwide.Titanium dioxide(TiO_(2),E171),a widely used food additive,has been insufficiently studied regarding its effects on macrophages within colon tumors during CAC development.In this study,CAC mouse models were used to investigate the biological impact of dietary E171 on macrophages in vivo,while lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophage cell lines were employed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms in vitro.We found that dietary E171 intake accelerated CAC development,exacerbated inflammatory responses and oxidative stress,and upregulated CAC-associated genes,including S100a8,S100a9,Lcn2,S100a11,Cxcl2,and interleukin-1α(Il-1α).E171 also increased the expression of S100A8,S100A9,NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3(NLRP3),and gasdermin-D Nterminal(GSDMD-N)in macrophages within colon tumors.In inflammatory macrophages,E171 exposure enhanced cell viability,increased reactive oxygen species(ROS)levels,and elevated the expression and secretion of S100A8 and S100A9,consistent with in vivo histological observations.Furthermore,E171-induced secretion of S100A8 and S100A9 in macrophages was suppressed by specific inhibitors,including N-acetylcysteine(NAC,ROS inhibitor),MCC950(NLRP3 inhibitor),Z-YVAD-FMK(caspase 1 inhibitor),disulfiram(GSDMD inhibitor),and transfection of NLRP3 small interfering ribonucleic acid(siRNA).These results indicate that dietary E171 promotes CAC development by activating macrophages,with S100A8 and S100A9 serving as key mediators,and the NLRP3/caspase 1/GSDMD pathway acting as a critical mechanism.

文摘The hot-roll bonding was carried out in vacuum between titanium alloy and stainless steel using niobium interlayer. The interfacial structure and mechanical properties were analyzed. The results show that the plasticity of bonded joint is improved significantly. When the bonding temperature is 800 °C or 900 °C, there is not intermetallic layer at the interface between stainless steel and niobium. When the bonding temperature is 1000 °C or 1050 °C, Fe-Nb intermetallic layer forms at the interface. When the bonding temperature is 1050 °C, cracking occurs between stainless steel and intermetallic layer. The maximum strength of -417.5 MPa is obtained at the bonding temperature of 900 °C, the reduction of 25% and the rolling speed of 38 mm/s, and the tensile specimen fractures in the niobium interlayer with plastic fracture characteristics. When the hot-roll bonded transition joints were TIG welded with titanium alloy and stainless steel respectively, the tensile strength of the transition joints after TIG welding is -410.3 MPa, and the specimen fractures in the niobium interlayer.

文摘The effect of intermetallic compounds on the heat resistance of transition joint was investigated. The experiment of post-weld heat treatment for the hot roll bonded titanium alloy-stainless steel joint using nickels interlayer was carried out, and the interface microstructure evolution due to heat treatment was presented. There was not found significant interdiffusion at stainless steel/nickel interface, when the specimens were heat treated in the temperature range of 600-800 °C for 10 and 30 min, while micro-cracks occurred at the stainless steel/nickel interface heat treated at 700 °C for 30 min. The thickness of intermetallic layers at nickel/titanium alloy interface increased at 600 °C, and micro-cracks occurred at 700 and 800 °C. The micro-cracks occurred between intermetallic layers or between intermetallic layer and nickel interlayer as well. The tensile strength of the transition joint decreased with the increase of heat treatment temperature or holding time.

文摘Electron beam welding experiments of titanium alloy to stainless steel were carried out with different filler metals, such as Ni, V, and Cu. Microstructures of the joints were examined by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. Mechanical properties of the joints were evaluated according to tensile strength and microhardness. As a result, influences of filler metals on microstructures and mechanical properties of electron beam welded titanium-stainless steel joints were discussed. The results showed that all the filler metals were helpful to restrain the Ti-Fe intermetallics. The welds with different filler metals were all characterized by solid solution and interfacial intermetallics. For each type of the filler metal, the type of solid solution and interfacial intermetallics depended on the metallurgical reactions between the filler metals and base metals. The interfacial intermetallics were Fe2Ti＋Ni3Ti＋NiTi2, TiFe, and Cu2Ti＋CuTi＋CuTi2 in the joints welded with Ni, V, and Cu filler metals, respectively. The tensile strengths of the joints were dependent on the hardness of the interfacial intermetallics. The joint welded with Ag filler metal had the highest tensile strength, which is about 310 MPa.
