Additionally, the friction and wear behaviors as well as the wear mechanism of the Cu-based composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） in conjunction with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy （EDS） elemental mapping. The results indicated that the Cu-based friction composite containing 30wt% ODS Cu exhibited the highest hardness and shear strength. The average and instantaneous friction coefficient curves of this sample, when operated in a high-speed train at a speed of 300 km/h, were similar to those of a commercial disc brake pad produced by Knorr-Bremse AG （Germany）. Additionally, the lowest linear wear loss of the obtained samples was （0.008 ± 0.001） mm per time per face, which is much lower than that of the Knorr-Bremse pad （（0.01 ± 0.001） mm）. The excellent performance of the developed pad is a consequence of the formation of a dense oxide composite layer and its close combination with the pad body.展开更多

文摘Digital modeling and autonomous control of the die forging process are significant challenges in realizing high-quality intelli-gent forging of components.Using the die forging of AA2014 aluminum alloy as a case study,a machine-learning-assisted method for di-gital modeling of the forging force and autonomous control in response to forging parameter disturbances was proposed.First,finite ele-ment simulations of the forging processes were conducted under varying friction factors,die temperatures,billet temperatures,and for-ging velocities,and the sample data,including process parameters and forging force under different forging strokes,were gathered.Pre-diction models for the forging force were established using the support vector regression algorithm.The prediction error of F_(f),that is,the forging force required to fill the die cavity fully,was as low as 4.1%.To further improve the prediction accuracy of the model for the ac-tual F_(f),two rounds of iterative forging experiments were conducted using the Bayesian optimization algorithm,and the prediction error of F_(f) in the forging experiments was reduced from 6.0%to 1.5%.Finally,the prediction model of F_(f) combined with a genetic algorithm was used to establish an autonomous optimization strategy for the forging velocity at each stage of the forging stroke,when the billet and die temperatures were disturbed,which realized the autonomous control in response to disturbances.In cases of−20 or−40℃ reductions in the die and billet temperatures,forging experiments conducted with the autonomous optimization strategy maintained the measured F_(f) around the target value of 180 t,with the relative error ranging from−1.3%to+3.1%.This work provides a reference for the study of di-gital modeling and autonomous optimization control of quality factors in the forging process.

文摘This work managed the extrusion strain path by designing various extrusion die cavities,successfully realizing the texture modification for the ZK60 magnesium alloy.The mechanisms involving the texture dependence on the extrusion die cavity as well as their effects on the mechanical properties were emphatically investigated.Results showed that dynamic recrystallization refined the grain size and improved the microstructure homogeneity in the three extrusion specimens,but did not produce too large microstructure differences.By comparison,significant texture differences developed owing to the various extrusion die cavities,which here were mainly reflected in the strong or weak texture components for the c-axes//TD and the c-axes//ND.Such texture differences started from the deformation texture instead of the recrystallization texture whose roles only consisted in dispersing the texture component and reducing the texture intensity.The results from the finite element analysis and the visco-plastic self-consistent model indicated that,in order to accommodate the different strain components induced by the extrusion die cavities,slip systems or tension twinning were activated differently,and this was the critical reason causing the above texture differences.One modified Hall-Petch relationship was adopted to analyze the conjoint effects of grain refinement and texture variation on the yield stress.Additionally,the quantitative results about deformation mechanism activation fractions demonstrated that the texture variations influenced the competition relationships between the twinning induced deformation and the slip dominant deformation,and the former generally produced the lower yield stress and the increasing stage of strain hardening rate,while the latter produced the higher yield stress and the continuous decline of strain hardening rate.

文摘The advancement of sophisticated smart windows exhibiting superior thermoregulation capabilities in both solar spectrum and long-wave infrared range maintains a prominent objective for researchers in this field.In this study,a Janus window is proposed and prepared based on polymer-stabilized liquid-crystal films/thermochromic materials.It can achieve switchable front long-wave infrared emissivity(ε_(Front))and solar modulation ability(ΔT_(sol))through dynamic flipping,making it suitable for different seasonal energy-saving requirements.Outdoor experiments show that under daytime illumination,the indoor temperature decreases by 8℃,and the nighttime temperature drops by 5℃.MATLAB simulation calculations indicate that the daytime cooling power is 93 W m^(-2),while the nighttime cooling power reaches 142 W m^(-2).Interestingly,by modifying the conductive layer,it can effectively shield electromagnetic radiation(within the X-band frequency range(8.2-12.4)GHz).Energy simulation reveals the substantial superiority of this device in energy savings compared with single-layer polymer-stabilized liquid crystal,poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide),and normal glass when applied in different climate zones.This research presents a compelling opportunity for the development of sophisticated smart windows characterized by exceptional thermoregulation capabilities.

文摘Rechargeable magnesium batteries(RMBs)have garnered significant attention in energy storage applications due to their high capacity,low cost,and high safety.However,the strong polarization effect and slow kinetic de-intercalation of Mg^(2+)in the cathode limit their commercial application.This study presents a novel interface-coupled V_(2)CT_(x)@VS_(4)heterostructure through a one-step hydrothermal process.In this architecture,V_(2)CT_(x)and VS_(4)can mutually support their structural framework,which effectively prevents the structural collapse of V_(2)CT_(x)MXene and the aggregation of VS_(4).Crucially,interfacial coupling between V_(2)CT_(x)and VS_(4)induces strong V-S bonds,substantially enhancing structural stability.Benefiting from these advantages,the heterostructure exhibits high specific capacity(226 mAh g^(-1)at 100 mA g^(-1))and excellent long-cycle stability(89% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 500 mA g^(-1)).Furthermore,the Mg^(2+)storage mechanism in the V_(2)CT_(x)@VS_(4)composite was elucidated through a series of ex-situ characterizations.This work provides a feasible strategy for designing V_(2)CT_(x)MXene-based cathodes with high capacity and extended cyclability for RMBs.

文摘Designing low-density,high-strength Mg-Li alloys is a major challenge in achieving extreme lightweighting of high-end equipment.This study proposes an interpretable machine learning strategy to simultaneously enhance the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of Mg-Li alloy.Key alloy factors(KAFs)influencing ultimate tensile strength(UTS),elongation(EL),and corrosion rate(CR)were identified through alloy factor construction and screening.Using KAFs and processing parameters as inputs,gradient boosting regression models for UTS,EL,and CR were established,achieving the coefficients of determination of test-set above 0.85.Then,SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP)analysis quantified the impact of KAFs,and an element evaluation method was established to identify Al,Si,Ca,and Zn as candidates for alloy design.Finally,three new alloys were designed via multi-objective optimization.In the hot-extruded state,they exhibited UTS of 253∼273 MPa,EL of 18.4%∼27.9%,CR of 0.55∼1.61 mg/(cm^(2)·day),and ρ of 1.49∼1.54 g/cm^(3).Compared to LAZ103,the new alloys show 34%∼44%higher UTS,35%∼79%lower CR,and comparable ρ.Microstructural analysis revealed increasedα-Mg,decreasedβ-Li,reduced coarse secondary phases,and fine Ca-/Si-rich precipitates which are conducive to grain refinement and dislocation density increasing,synergistically enhancing comprehensive property.

文摘MnO_(x)-CeO_(2)catalysts for the low-temperature selective catalytic reduction(SCR)of NO remain vulnerable to water and sulfur poisoning,limting their practical applications.Herein,we report a hydrophobic-modified MnO_(x)-CeO_(2)catalyst that achieves enhanced NO conversion rate and stability under harsh conditions.The catalyst was synthesized by decorating MnOx crystals with amorphous CeO_(2),followed by loading hydrophobic silica on the external surfaces.The hydrophobic silica allowed the adsorption of NH_(3)and NO and diffusion of H,suppressed the adsorption of H_(2)O,and prevented SO_(2)interaction with the Mn active sites,achieving selective molecular discrimination at the catalyst surface.At 120℃,under H_(2)O and SO_(2)exposure,the optimal hydrophobic catalyst maintains 82%NO conversion rate compared with 69%for the unmodified catalyst.The average adsorption energies of NH_(3),H_(2)O,and SO_(2)decreased by 0.05,0.43,and 0.52 eV,respectively.The NO reduction pathway follows the Eley-Rideal mechanism,NH_(3)^(*)+*→NH_(2)^(*)+H^(*)followed by NH_(2)^(*)+NO^(*)→N_(2)^(*)+H_(2)O^(*),with NH_(3)dehydrogenation being the rate determining step.Hydrophobic modification increased the activation energy for H atom transfer,leading to a minor decrease in the NO conversion rate at 120℃.This work demonstrates a viable strategy for developing robust NH_(3)-S CR catalysts capable of efficient operation in water-and sulfur-rich environments.

文摘For the purpose of solid waste co-disposal and heavy metal stabilization,foam glass-ceramics were produced by using municipal solid waste incineration(MWSI)bottom ash and fly ash as main raw materials,calcium carbonate(CaCO3) as foamer and sodium phosphate(Na3PO4) as foam stabilizer.The influences of the raw material composition,foaming temperature and foaming time on the properties were investigated.Porosity,bulk density,mechanical property and leaching of heavy metals were analyzed accordingly.The product,foamed at 1150℃ for 30 min with 14% fly ash and 74% bottom ash,exhibits excellent comprehensive properties,such as high porosity(76.03%),low bulk density(0.67 g·cm-3) and high compressive strength(10.56 MPa).Moreover,the amount of leaching heavy metals,including Cr,Pb,Cu,Cd and Ni,in foam glass-ceramics is significantly lower than that of the US EPA hazardous waste thresholds.This study not only realizes the integrated utilization of bottom ash and fly ash,but also addresses a new strategy for obtaining foam glass-ceramics.

文摘In this work,we studied the effect of Cr element on the corrosion resistance evolution of weathering steel based on corrosion big data technology.It suggested that corrosion big data technology is suitable for evaluation of the effect of microalloying Cr element on the corrosion evolution behavior of weathering steel.New understandings prove that the effect of Cr on the corrosion process is dynamic rather than static,the processes is affected by both of the environmental factors and the electrochemical or chemical reactions in the rust layer.Besides,Cr element has both beneficial effect and detrimental effect on the corrosion resistance of weathering steel.The beneficial effect is that the general corrosion resistance of Cr-additional steel is better than that of Cr-free steel,while the detrimental effect is that localized corrosion is intensified as the increase of Cr content in the Cr-additional steel.

文摘A new horizontal continuous casting method with heating-cooling combined mold(HCCM)technology was explored for fabri-cating high-quality thin-wall cupronickel alloy tubes used for heat exchange pipes.The microstructure and mechanical properties of BFe 10 cupronickel alloy tubes fabricated by HCCM and traditional continuous casting(cooling mold casting)were comparatively investigated.The results show that the tube fabricated by HCCM has smooth internal and external surfaces without any defects,and its internal and external surface roughnesses are 0.64μm and 0.85μm,respectively.The tube could be used for subsequent cold processing without other treatments such as surface planning,milling and acid-washing.This indicates that HCCM can effectively reduce the process flow and improve the pro-duction efficiency of a BFel0 cupronickel alloy tube.The tube has columnar grains along its axial direction with a major casting texture of{012}〈621〉.Compared with cooling mold casting(6=36.5%),HCCM can improve elongation(3=46.3%)by 10%with a slight loss of strength,which indicates that HCCM remarkably improves the cold extension performance of a BFe 10 cupronickel alloy tube.

文摘The mechanical and tribological properties of Cu-based powder metallurgy （P/M） friction composites containing 10wt%-50wt% oxide-dispersion-strengthened （ODS） Cu reinforced with nano-Al2O3 were investigated. Additionally, the friction and wear behaviors as well as the wear mechanism of the Cu-based composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） in conjunction with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy （EDS） elemental mapping. The results indicated that the Cu-based friction composite containing 30wt% ODS Cu exhibited the highest hardness and shear strength. The average and instantaneous friction coefficient curves of this sample, when operated in a high-speed train at a speed of 300 km/h, were similar to those of a commercial disc brake pad produced by Knorr-Bremse AG （Germany）. Additionally, the lowest linear wear loss of the obtained samples was （0.008 ± 0.001） mm per time per face, which is much lower than that of the Knorr-Bremse pad （（0.01 ± 0.001） mm）. The excellent performance of the developed pad is a consequence of the formation of a dense oxide composite layer and its close combination with the pad body.

文摘Sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)have been considered as an ideal choice for the next generation large-scale energy storage applications owing to the rich sodium resources and the analogous working principle to that of lithium-ion batteries(LIBs).Nevertheless,the larger size and heavier mass of Na^(+)ion than those of Li^(+)ion often lead to sluggish reaction kinetics and inferior cycling life in SIBs compared to the LIB counterparts.The pursuit of promising electrode materials that can accommodate the rapid and stable Na-ion insertion/extraction is the key to promoting the development of SIBs toward a commercial prosperity.One-dimensional(1 D)nanomaterials demonstrate great prospects in boosting the rate and cycling performances because of their large active surface areas,high endurance for deformation stress,short ions diffusion channels,and oriented electrons transfer paths.Electrospinning,as a versatile synthetic technology,features the advantages of controllable preparation,easy operation,and mass production,has been widely applied to fabricate the 1 D nanostructured electrode materials for SIBs.In this review,we comprehensively summarize the recent advances in the sodium-storage cathode and anode materials prepared by electrospinning,discuss the effects of modulating the spinning parameters on the materials’micro/nano-structures,and elucidate the structure-performance correlations of the tailored electrodes.Finally,the future directions to harvest more breakthroughs in electrospun Na-storage materials are pointed out.

文摘Machine-learning and big data are among the latest approaches in corrosion research.The biggest challenge in corrosion research is to accurately predict how materials will degrade in a given environment.Corrosion big data is the application of mathematical methods to huge amounts of data to find correlations and infer probabilities.It is possible to use corrosion big data method to distinguish the influence of the minimal changes of alloying elements and small differences in microstructure on corrosion resistance of low alloy steels.In this research,corrosion big data evaluation methods and machine learning were used to study the effect of Sb and Sn,as well as environmental factors on the corrosion behavior of low alloy steels.Results depict corrosion big data method can accurately identify the influence of various factors on corrosion resistance of low alloy and is an effective and promising way in corrosion research.

文摘Combining the redox properties of Co and the acid properties of Nb in a Co_(3)-Nb-O_(x)catalyst is shown to provide superior performance in the selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH_(3)(NH_(3)-SCR).Co_(3)O_(4)shows average activity,however,it exhibits a poor N_(2)selectivity.Nb_(2)O_(5)is not active for NH_(3)-SCR.However,the mixed Co_(3)-Nb-O_(x) catalyst shows higher NO conversion and N_(2)selectivity than the single Co_(3)O_(4)and Nb_(2)O_(5)catalysts at 100–300℃.The results of temperature programmed reduction by H_(2)and X-ray photoelectron(XP)spectra indicate that the addition of Nb changes the chemical states of Co and decreases the concentration of Co^(3+) and Oa,adjusting the activity for catalytic oxidation to a moderate level.This suppresses the formation of undesired N_(2)O from the over-oxidation of NH_(3).Incorporation of Co and Nb into one solid synergistically couples their redox behavior and surface acidity,ensuring the high catalytic activity and N2 selectivity in NH3-SCR.

文摘A ternary Ti35Zr28Nb alloy was fabricated by powder metallurgy(PM)from pre-alloyed powder.The microstructure,hardness,corrosion behavior,and wear response of the produced alloy were investigated systematically.The results show that nearly full dense Ti35Zr28Nb alloy(relative density is 98.1±1.2%)can be fabricated by PM.The microstructure was dominated with uniform phase.The Ti35Zr28Nb alloy displayed spontaneous passivity in a naturally aerated simulated body fluid(SBF)solution at 37±0.5°C.The Ti35Zr28Nb alloy exhibited the highest corrosion resistance as compared to as-cast Ti6Al4V and pure Ti because of the formation of a protective passive film containing TiO2,Nb2O5,and ZrO2,including the highest corrosion potential(-0.22±0.01 V),the lowest corrosion current density(57.45±1.88 nA),the lowest passive potential(0.05±0.01 V)and the widest passivation range(1.29±0.09 V).Under the same wear condition,the wear rate of the Ti35Zr28Nb alloy(0.0021±0.0002 mm3/m·N)was lower than that of the CP Ti(0.0029±0.0004 mm3/m·N)and close to that of the Ti6Al4V(0.0020±0.0003 mm3/m·N).The wear mechanism of the Ti35Zr28Nb alloy was mainly dominated by abrasive wear,accompanied by adhesive wear.The highest corrosion resistance together with the adequate wear resistance makes the PM-fabricated Ti35Zr28Nb alloy an attractive candidate for orthopedic implant materials.

文摘The corrosion form and mechanical properties deterioration of mooring chain steel in simulated deep-sea environments were investigated.With the increase of ocean depth,not only the pressure increases,but also the dissolved oxygen content decreases.These two factors affect corrosion evolution of mooring chain steel in simulated deep-sea environments,which was studied for the first time.Compared with uniform corrosion of mooring chain steel in shallow sea with sufficient oxygen,low dissolved oxygen leads to the corrosion dominated by pitting with pit covers.Meanwhile,hydrostatic pressure distinctly accelerates pitting initiation and propagation.The higher the hydrostatic pressure is,the more serious the pitting is.For failure mechanism of unstressed mooring chain steel serving in simulated deep-sea environments,both absorbed hydrogen and corrosion morphology can degrade the ductility of mooring chain steel,in which the leading factor depends on the service time.The severe pitting is the main factor and causes remarkable ductility loss of the steel after long-term immersion.But hydrogen plays an important role on elongation loss in early stage.
