Influenceof WC content on the properties of material was discussed in detail, and result shows that when thevolume fraction of WC is 1.6%, the material achieves the best overall property, and a little moreparticle addition led to a less superior property owing to occurrence of particle agglomeration. Theas-sintered composite was designed to undergo a deformation of 75%. It is proved that appropriatedeformation is helpful to attain a higher density and consequently better properties. Deformedmaterial was then exposed to elevated temperature to test its effect on material. Annealing for 1 hat 1173K caused material to recover quite completely, but no obvious recrystallization was observed.It's supposed the particles handicaps motion of dislocations and material demonstrates goodretention of strength with substantial improvement in elongation.展开更多

Ablation performance of the NSHC was studied. The results show that the linear ablation rate of NSHC was lower than that of pure BPR and the high silica/BPR composite. Its linear ablation rate is 1/17 of the high silica/BPR. Mass ablation rate of the NSHC is very close to that of the pure BPR and the high silica/BPR composite. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis indicates that 3DRC has scarcely changed its shape at the ablation temperature. Its special reticulated structure can restrict the materials deformation and prevent high velocity heat flow from eroding the surface of the materials largely and thus increase ablation resistance of the NSHC.展开更多

The microstructure of the as-cast and thehot-rolled composite was investigated by using TEM, EDS, and SEM, and their tensile properties weremeasured at room temperature. The results show that the ultimate tensile strength and ultimateelongation of the hot-rolled composite are 80 percent and 140 percent higher than those of theas-cast one. The TEM observation result indicates that there are high density of dislocations anddislocation tangles in the hot-rolled composite. Al_2O_3 layers in the composite resulting from thesurface oxidation of the aluminum powders were damaged to spherical particles during hot rolling.All the results indicate that hot-rolling can improve the mechanical properties of the compositeand, therefore, engineering components of the 20 vol. percent SiC_p/Al composite can be produced bysqueeze casting followed by hot-rolling.展开更多

Existent problems during directly fabricating metal part by use of SLS are analyzed. For the sake of solving the problems, a new idea of adding self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) material into metallic powder material to form new type of SLS metallic powder material is put forward. This powder material can release controllable amount of heat during its interaction with the laser beam energy to reduce the requirement to laser power during directly sintering metallic part, to prolong the time of metallic liquid phase existing, and to improve the intensity and accuracy of SLS part. For this reason, SHS material′s interaction with the CO2 laser beam energy is researched, which proves that CO2 laser beam energy may instantly ignite SHS reaction. On the basis of the above-mentioned researches, the effect of sintering the metal powder material mixing SHS material with CO2 laser is also researched, which shows: there is an optimal blending ratio of various material in the new metallic powder material. Under the optimal blending ratio and SLS process parameters, this new metallic powder material can indeed release amount of heat and SHS reaction may be controlled within the laser sintering. This research result makes it possible that the metallic part is directly sintered with small CO2 laser (less than 50W), which may greatly reduce the volume, cost and running expenditure of SLS machine, be propitious to application.展开更多

Wear is not an intrinsic property of sintered steels, which is strongly influenced by the wear test conditions. However, many other factors that determine the mechanical properties of sintered steels also affect the wear behavior. Porosity has different effects on the wear of sintered steels depending on the application conditions. Under dry sliding condition, higher porosity results in lower wear resistance. The influence of microstructures on wear resistance is in the order: carbide, martensite, bainite and lamellar pearlite. The wear resistance increases with hardness, but this relationship changes with the porosity and microstructures of sintered steels.展开更多

The results show the hardness ofsurfacing metal increases with the increase of ferrotitanium (Fe-Ti), ferrovanadium (Fe-V) andgraphite in the coat. However, when graphite reaches the volume fraction of 11 percent, the hardnessreaches its peak value, and when beyond 11 percent, the hardness falls off. As Fe-Ti, Fe-V andgraphite increase, the cracking resistance of deposited metal and usability of electrode declines.Carbides are dispersedly distributed in the matrix structure. The matrix micro structure ofdeposited metal is lath martensite. Carbides present irregular block. When using the researchedsurfacing electrode to continue weld with non-preheated, no seeable crack or only a few micro-crackscan be observed in the surface of deposited metal. The hardness is above 60 HRC. The wearresistance is better than that of EDZCr-C-15.展开更多

This new photoanode with three function layers exhibits enhanced PEC performance with a photocurrent density of 0.346 mA ·cm–2 at 1.1 V（vs. RHE）,which is approximately 3.6 times that of pure g-C3N4 photoanode. The enhanced PEC performance of g-C3N4/TiO 2/Co-Pi photoanode benefits from the following：（1） excellent visible light absorption of g-C3N4;（2） stable protection of TiO2 to improve the durability of g-C3N4 film; and（3） photogenerated holes capture Co-Pi to separate photogenerated electron-hole pairs efficiently.

The results of formation energies show that Al3Sc is more stable than Al3 Y and the stability of Al3Sc will be better with the increasing pressure. The Gibbs free energy, heat capacity, Debye temperature and thermal expansion coefficient are also investigated. The decreasing density of states at the Fermi level and the strengthening Sc/Y-d orbital hybridization with Al （s, p） under high pressure lead to the observed increase of the structural stability for L12-Al3Sc and Al3 Y under pressures.展开更多

Metastable phase Nb3Si plays an important role in the properties of Nb/Nb5Si3 composites by affecting the volume fraction of ductile phase. The addition of Mo affects on the microstructure of ductile phase and the stability of metastable phase Nb3Si. In this paper, Nb-10Si-xMo and Nb-18Si-xMo (x = 0, 5, and 15) alloys were prepared by arc melting and annealed at 1473 K for 100 h. Single edge-notched bending (SENB) test was used to study the fracture toughness of Nb-Si-Mo alloys. The room temperature fracture toughness of Nb-10Si is 10.48 MPa center dot m(1/2) and higher than that of binary Nb-18Si alloys at near-eutectic composites. The addition of 5 at.% Mo improved the fracture toughness of as-cast Nb-Si alloys from 4.1 MPa center dot m(1/2) to 9.99 MPa center dot m(1/2) at near-eutectic compositions and reduced it from 10.48 MPa center dot m(1/2) to 8.86 MPa center dot m(1/2) at hypoeutectic compositions.展开更多

On the basis of the tests, the stress-strain fields near the crack tip of the compactspecimens are analyzed by three-dimensional finite element model. The test results and finiteelement analysis results show that, the fracture toughness of welds and base metal of 16Mn steelincreases with the increment of loading rate. Compared with 16Mn steel, Q235B steel is moresensitive to dynamic loading. The fracture toughness of welds of Q235B is comparatively low understatic loading and dynamic loading at room temperature. Compared with the static loading, thefracture toughness of Q235B parent metal under dynamic loading decreases by about four times.Therefore, it can be concluded that compared with 16Mn steel, the earthquake resistances of weld andparent metal of Q235B are rather poor.展开更多
