Consequently, a self-developed electrolysis cell was utilized for the production of low-oxygen La/Ce mischmetal. The electrolysis process and the origin of oxygen in mischmetal were comprehensively investigated. The results indicate that the reaction between La/Ce oxide and fluoride molten salt results in the formation of La/Ce oxy-fluoride. The deposition of oxy-fluoride at the bottom of the electrolysis cell is the primary factor contributing to the increased oxygen content in mischmetal. The comprehensive influence of oxide addition quantity, feeding interval, and electrolysis temperature on oxygen content, purity, and current efficiency using the response surface methodology model is revealed. The results for industrial experiment show that the purity of mishcmetal reaches higher than 99.78 wt.%, the oxygen content of mischmetal is only 0.0047 wt.% and the current efficiency of the electrolysis process achieves 80.79% under the optimized parameters of 225 kg/d, 30 s and 1069 ℃. The findings offer valuable insights into the application of molten salt electrolysis for the production of low-oxygen mischmetal.展开更多

Here, it is demonstrated that the embrittled Fe-based MG can be reductilized and the coercivity can be further lowered through the rejuvenation of memory effect. The synchronous improvement in the plasticity and soft magnetic properties is attributed to the combination effects of releasing much residual stress, decreasing the magnetic anisotropy, and homogenizing the glasses during the rejuvenation process. The current work opens a new perspective to improve the properties of MGs by utilizing the memory effect and holds promising commercial application potential.展开更多

Microstructural observations...A route combining powder metallurgy and subsequent friction stir processing was utilized to fabricate carbon nanotube （CNT） reinforced AI （CNT/AI） and 6061AI （CNT/6061AI） composites. Microstructural observations indicated that CNTs were uniformly dispersed in the matrix in both CNT/AI and CNT/6061AI composites. Mg and Si elements tended to segregate at CNT-AI interfaces in the CNT/6061AI composite during artificial aging treatment. The tensile properties of both the AI and 6061AI were increased by CNT incorporation. The electrical conductivity of CNT/AI was decreased by CNT addition, while CNT/6061AI exhibited an increase in electrical conductivity due to the Mg and Si segregation.展开更多

Results showed that large Laves phases formed and distributed along the interdendritic regions with high Nb or Mo addition. The Cr-carbide （M23C6） was suppressed to precipitate at the grain boundaries with high Nb addition. Tensile testing indicates that the ultimate strength of weld metals increases with Nb or Mo addition. However, the voids formed easily around the large Laves phases in the interdendritic area during tensile testing for the weld metal with high Mo content. It is found that the tensile fractographs of high Mo weld metals show a typical feature of interdendritic fracture. The high Nb or Mo addition, which leads to the formation of large Laves phases, exposes a great weakening effect on the impact toughness of weld metals. In addition, the ductility-dip cracking was not found by OM in the selected cross sections of weld metals with different Nb additions. High Nb addition can eliminate the ductility-dip cracking from the Ni-Cr-Fe weld metals effectively.展开更多

Results show that as Al, Ti content in FM increases from 0.14 wt% Al, 0.30 wt% Ti to 0.42 wt% Al, 0.92 wt% Ti, the Al, Ti reduction will increase during welding. Inclusion defects （point-like defects named by welding workers） are prone to form in the high Al, Ti content weldments. Inclusion defects with Mg, Ca, Al, and Ti as major metallic elements have been found on the surface and interior of the weldments, as Al, Ti content in FM is over 0.29 wt% Al, 0.62 wt% Ti. Less -ri content in FM cannot prevent ductility-dip-cracking （DDC） through producing enough intragranular precipitates and lessening intergranular M23C6 precipitates. Nb can be used to replace Ti to reduce the sensitivity of the DDC in the NiCrFe-7 alloy weldments.展开更多

This creative idea has been verified to be possible by several different in vitro and in vivo experimental evidences on the Cu-bearing stainless steels and magnesium based metals. It was indicated that a trace amount of Cu release from the Cu-bearing steels could have obvious bio-functions of reduction of the in-stent restenosis （ISR）, anti-bacterial infection, inhibiting the inflammatory cells and even promoting the early osteogenesis. Furthermore, the degradation of magnesium based metals in bones could promote the new bone formation, enhance the bone mineral density for the osteoporosis modeled animal, and even have strong anti-bacterial ability and strong cytotoxicity to bone tumor cells due to the enhancement of pH. Special bio-function with satisfied load-bearing capacity for metallic biomaterials will bring higher application values for the implant made of this novel material. This is an attractive direction for research and development with many challenges, but the final success will be much beneficial to the majority of patients.展开更多

文摘Maintaining high metal dispersion of supported metal catalysts to achieve superior reactivity under harsh conditions poses one of the main challenges for their practical applications.Constructing and regulating the strong metal-support interactions(SMSI)by diverse methodologies has emerged as one of the promising approaches to fabricating robust supported metal catalysts.In this study,we report an L-ascorbic acid(AA)-inducing strategy to generate SMSI on a titania-supported gold(Au)catalyst after high-temperature treatment in an inert atmosphere(600℃,N_(2)).The AA-induced SMSI can efficiently stabilize Au nanoparticles(NPs)and preserve their catalytic performance.The detailed study reveals that the key to realizing this SMSI is the generation of oxygen vacancies within the TiO_(2) support induced by the adsorbed AA,which drives the formation of the Ti Oxpermeable layer onto the Au NPs.The strategy could be extended to TiO_(2)-supported Au catalysts with different crystal phases and platinum group metals,such as Pt,Pd,and Rh.This work offers a promising novel route to design stable and efficient supported noble metal catalysts by constructing SMSI using simple reducing organic adsorbent.

文摘Non-metallic inclusions are a significant factor causing fractures during the manufacturing process of tire cord steel,and dissolution in the steel profoundly affects them.How the basicity and Al_(2)O_(3) content in SiO_(2)-CaO-Al_(2)O_(3)-MgO refining slag affect non-metallic inclusions in tire cord steel at 1873 K was investigated.A quantitative relationship has been established between the slag basicity and the dissolved oxygen content in steel.The results demonstrate that non-metallic inclusions in steel transform along SiO_(2)-MnO-Al_(2)O_(3)→SiO_(2)-MnO system of inclusions.When the basicity is controlled within the range of 0.8-1.0,the corresponding dissolved oxygen content should be between 4×10^(−6) and 10×10^(−6).When Al_(2)O_(3) content in the refining slag is maintained at 5%,and the slag basicity is controlled between 0.8 and 1.0,or if the slag basicity is precisely 1.0 with Al_(2)O_(3) content kept below 11%,control over the plasticization of SiO_(2)-MnO-Al_(2)O_(3) system within the inclusions can be effectively achieved.Combined with thermodynamic calculation and measurement of the dissolved oxygen([O])activity in the steel,controlling SiO_(2)-MnO-Al_(2)O_(3)-like inclusions in the plastic region range can be achieved by adjusting the refining slag composition.

文摘Annealing has been a popular method to improve the soft magnetism of metallic glasses (MGs), which however usually makes MGs brittle and difficult to process. Here, it is demonstrated that the embrittled Fe-based MG can be reductilized and the coercivity can be further lowered through the rejuvenation of memory effect. The synchronous improvement in the plasticity and soft magnetic properties is attributed to the combination effects of releasing much residual stress, decreasing the magnetic anisotropy, and homogenizing the glasses during the rejuvenation process. The current work opens a new perspective to improve the properties of MGs by utilizing the memory effect and holds promising commercial application potential.

文摘The influence of Hf on the precipitation behavior of γ'phase and the subsequent tensile properties of a Ni-Cr-Mo alloy after long-term thermal exposure was investigated.The results reveal that the addition of Hf increases the average diameter ofγ'phases after thermal exposure at 700℃ for 5000 h,which enhances the critical resolved shear stress required for dislocations to shear the γ'phases in the Ni-Cr-Mo alloy.Simultaneously,element Hf incorporated into the γ'phases increases the lattice mismatch between the γ'and γ phase,thereby strengthening the coherency strengthening effect.These two factors collectively contribute to the enhanced strength of the alloy.Thus,Hf alloying effectively improves the yield strength of the Ni-Cr-Mo alloy after thermal exposure at 700℃.
文摘Pre-alloyed powder of Ti-22Al-24Nb-0.5Mo（atomic fraction,%） was prepared by gas atomization.Powder metallurgy（PM） Ti 2AlNb alloys were prepared by a hot isostatic pressing（HIPing） route.The influence of experimental variables including HIPing temperatures,solution and aging temperatures on microstructure and properties of PM Ti 2AlNb alloys was studied.The results showed that HIPing temperature affected the porosity distribution and mechanical properties of PM Ti 2AlNb alloys.The microstructure and mechanical properties of the PM Ti 2AlNb alloys changed obviously after various post heat treatments,and a good combination of tensile strength,ductility and rupture lifetime was obtained through an optimized heat treatment in the present work.

文摘A route combining powder metallurgy and subsequent friction stir processing was utilized to fabricate carbon nanotube （CNT） reinforced AI （CNT/AI） and 6061AI （CNT/6061AI） composites. Microstructural observations indicated that CNTs were uniformly dispersed in the matrix in both CNT/AI and CNT/6061AI composites. Mg and Si elements tended to segregate at CNT-AI interfaces in the CNT/6061AI composite during artificial aging treatment. The tensile properties of both the AI and 6061AI were increased by CNT incorporation. The electrical conductivity of CNT/AI was decreased by CNT addition, while CNT/6061AI exhibited an increase in electrical conductivity due to the Mg and Si segregation.

文摘A series of Ni-Cr-Fe welding wires with different Nb and Mo contents were designed to investigate the effect of Nb and Mo on the rnicrostructure, mechanical properties and the ductility-dip cracking susceptibility of the weld metals by optical microscopy （OM）, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction as well as the tensile and impact tests. Results showed that large Laves phases formed and distributed along the interdendritic regions with high Nb or Mo addition. The Cr-carbide （M23C6） was suppressed to precipitate at the grain boundaries with high Nb addition. Tensile testing indicates that the ultimate strength of weld metals increases with Nb or Mo addition. However, the voids formed easily around the large Laves phases in the interdendritic area during tensile testing for the weld metal with high Mo content. It is found that the tensile fractographs of high Mo weld metals show a typical feature of interdendritic fracture. The high Nb or Mo addition, which leads to the formation of large Laves phases, exposes a great weakening effect on the impact toughness of weld metals. In addition, the ductility-dip cracking was not found by OM in the selected cross sections of weld metals with different Nb additions. High Nb addition can eliminate the ductility-dip cracking from the Ni-Cr-Fe weld metals effectively.
文摘In this work, hot isostatic pressing （HIPing） technique was used to densify the Ti2AINb pre-alloyed powder. The influence of HIPing loading route parameters （temperature and rates of heating and pressurizing） on microstructure and properties of PM Ti2AINb alloys was studied. The results showed that HIPing loading route parameters affected the densification process and mechanical properties （especially high temper- ature rupture lifetime） of PM Ti2AINb alloys in the present work. A finite element method （FEM） model for predicting the final densification was developed and was used to optimize the HIPing procedure.

文摘The effects of filler metal （FM） composition on inclusions and inclusion defects for ER NiCrFe-7 weldments have been investigated and analyzed. Results show that as Al, Ti content in FM increases from 0.14 wt% Al, 0.30 wt% Ti to 0.42 wt% Al, 0.92 wt% Ti, the Al, Ti reduction will increase during welding. Inclusion defects （point-like defects named by welding workers） are prone to form in the high Al, Ti content weldments. Inclusion defects with Mg, Ca, Al, and Ti as major metallic elements have been found on the surface and interior of the weldments, as Al, Ti content in FM is over 0.29 wt% Al, 0.62 wt% Ti. Less -ri content in FM cannot prevent ductility-dip-cracking （DDC） through producing enough intragranular precipitates and lessening intergranular M23C6 precipitates. Nb can be used to replace Ti to reduce the sensitivity of the DDC in the NiCrFe-7 alloy weldments.

文摘A new concept for development of metallic biomaterials is proposed in this article, i.e., a certain bio-function can be realized for a metal implant through continuous release of a designed bio-functional metal element from surface of the metal implant in the body environment. This creative idea has been verified to be possible by several different in vitro and in vivo experimental evidences on the Cu-bearing stainless steels and magnesium based metals. It was indicated that a trace amount of Cu release from the Cu-bearing steels could have obvious bio-functions of reduction of the in-stent restenosis （ISR）, anti-bacterial infection, inhibiting the inflammatory cells and even promoting the early osteogenesis. Furthermore, the degradation of magnesium based metals in bones could promote the new bone formation, enhance the bone mineral density for the osteoporosis modeled animal, and even have strong anti-bacterial ability and strong cytotoxicity to bone tumor cells due to the enhancement of pH. Special bio-function with satisfied load-bearing capacity for metallic biomaterials will bring higher application values for the implant made of this novel material. This is an attractive direction for research and development with many challenges, but the final success will be much beneficial to the majority of patients.

文摘The high cost and low efficiency of fatigue tests are bottleneck problem for the anti-fatigue design of metallic materials.For this problem,a theoretical fatigue model is proposed in this study,the possible applications have also been discussed.Specific results would be introduced in two serial papers,in which the first paper focuses on the model building and the applications on fatigue strength prediction;the second paper put emphasis on the influencing factors of the model parameters and the applications on fatigue strength improvement.In this first paper,a theoretical model is proposed considering both the strength and plastic restrictions of fatigue strength.As the model builds up a brief relationship among yield strength(Y),tensile strength(T)and fatigue strength(F),it is named as the Y-T-F model.Through the verification with fatigue strength data covering various kinds of metallic materials and loading conditions,this Y-T-F model exhibits both generality and accuracy.With the Y-T-F model,the efficient fatigue strength prediction could be conducted by brief linear fitting and calculation,just through yield strength,tensile strength and several known fatigue strength data.Moreover,through its deduced Y-F model,the analytical formula of fatigue strength continuously changing with materials strengthening can be obtained,as well as the maximum value of fatigue strength and corresponding critical yield strength.In summary,the Y-T-F model would be useful for reducing the fatigue tests,thus providing new possibilities on the efficient anti-fatigue design and selection of metallic materials.
