However, one issue deserves attention is the too fast degradation. In this work, mesoporous bioglass(MBG)with high pore volume(0.59 cc/g) and huge specific surface area(110.78 m^(2)/g) was synthesized using improved sol-gel method, and introduced into Mg-based composite via laser additive manufacturing. Immersion tests showed that the incorporated MBG served as powerful adsorption sites, which promoted the in-situ deposition of apatite by successively adsorbing Ca2+and HPO42-. Such dense apatite film acted as an efficient protection layer and enhanced the corrosion resistance of Mg matrix, which was proved by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. Thereby, Mg based composite showed a significantly decreased degradation rate of 0.31 mm/year. Furthermore,MBG also improved the mechanical properties as well as cell behavior. This work highlighted the advantages of MBG in the fabrication of Mg-based implant with enhanced overall performance for orthopedic application.展开更多

By image processing of dipping process based on Otsu's method, it was found that low-viscosity flux glue eliminates the micelle effectively, very low speed also leads to small micelle hidden between the bumps, and this small micelle and hidden phenomenon disappeared when the speed is ≥0.2 cm s-1. Dipping flux quantity of the bump decreases by about 100 square pixels when flux viscosity is reduced from4,500 to 3,500 mpa s. For the 3,500 mpa s viscosity glue, dipping flux quantity increases with the increase of the speed and decreases with the increase of the speed after the speed is up to 0.8 cm s-1. The stable time of dipping glue can be obtained by real-time curve of dipping flux quantity and is only 80–90 ms when dipping speed is from 1.6 to 4.0 cm s-1. Dipping flux quantity has an increasing trend for acceleration time and has a decreasing trend for acceleration. Dipping flux quantity increases with the increase of dipping time, and is becoming saturated when the time is ≥55 ms.展开更多

The relationship between gas and liquid phases are established by cavitation nucleon theory and mass energy equation as well as solid phase and liquid phase, and then we explored the relationship between gas phase and solid phase. The results show that the critical bubble radius and solid-phase concentration flow rate during the cavitation can be related to the liquid pressure. Eq.(19) show that the larger the solid particle concentration and the solid phase flow, the earlier the cavitation will occur, and pump anti-cavitation performance will decline.展开更多

Compared with the experimental results, the deviation of the proposed model was limited to 8.1%, which showed reasonable accuracy of forecasting. It was found that the performance of AA6005 alloy was better at higher pre-ageing temperature with shorter pre-ageing time than that at T6 temper. The microstructure of the alloy was observed by transmission electron microscopy, and the results showed that high dislocation density and precipitate density existed at 160 ℃ and 200 ℃ pre-ageing, which were in good agreement with the model.展开更多

The results showed that the optimum solution treatment process for the alloy was 470 ℃, 2 h. The tensile strength, yield strength,and elongation of the samples after the aging treatment at 120℃ for 24 h were 486 MPa, 431 MPa, and 14.8%,respectively. The alloy produced more copious recrystallization with the augment of solution temperature and the extension of holding time. While the second phase of η(MgZn_(2)), and T(AlZnMgCu) in the matrix was not fully re-dissolved under the treatment condition of lower temperature or shorter holding time. Interestingly, the Zr aggregation was observed in the samples treated at 510 ℃ for 2 h, which led to the growth of the second phase particles and the increase of their area fraction.展开更多

One view is that θʹ precipitates prefer to grow on the habit planes perpendicular to the applied compressive stress, while the other view suggests growth on habit planes parallel to the applied stress. In this study, stress-aged Al-4 wt.%Cu single crystal was sampled from three different <100>Al zone axes to observe the distribution of θʹ precipitates. A hybrid Monte-Carlo/ molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate the orientation effect of θʹ precipitates. The simulation results are consistent with experimental observations and indicate that θʹ precipitates prefer to grow on the habit planes that are parallel to the direction of the applied compressive stress, not along the planes perpendicular to it. It is also found that 1/2<110> perfect dislocations are generated as θʹ precipitates plates grow thicker, and the reaction of 1/2<110> perfect dislocations decomposing into 1/6<112> Shockley dislocations lead to an increase in the length of θʹ precipitates. The former does not enhance the orientation effect, whereas the latter leads to a more significant orientation effect. Additionally, the degree of the orientation effect of θʹ precipitates is determined by the reduction of 1/2<110> dislocations with a positive correlation between them.展开更多

An improved process(hot ring rolling at460°C with 30% deformation, then air cooling to 240°C, followed by ring rolling at 240°C with 20% deformation) was tested for ring manufacturing. The corresponding microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of the produced rings were studied. The results show that the improved process can successfully be applied to manufacture the large 2219 Al alloy rings without formation of macroscopic defects,resulting in a product with fine and uniform grains after heat treatment. The fracture mechanism of both rings was mainly intergranular fracture. With the resulting grain size refinement due to the improved process, more homogeneous slip occured and the crack propagation path became more tortuous during the tensile testing process. Thus, the elongation in all three orthogonal directions was greatly improved,and the axial elongation increased from 3.5% to 10.0%.展开更多

Charact. 141 (2018) 212-222]. it was found that the heterogeneous deformed microstructures can be replaced by the relatively homogeneous recrystallized grains through an annealing treatment. However, there are still some relatively large recrystallized grains. To find the reasons for the formation of large grains, some new annealing treatment tests were done, and the cellular automation (CA) simulations were carried out in the present work. The experimental results showed that the microstructural evolution during annealing treatment is significantly affected by the content of S phase. So. the effects of δ phase on the nucleation and growth of grains are carefully considered in the CA model to accurately simulate the microstructural evolution behavior. By the CA simulation, it is found that the dislocation density rapidly decreases due to the nucleation of static recrystallization (SRX) and the growth of dynamc recrystallization (DRX) nuclei at the early stage of annealing. The high initial dislocation density provide the high velocity for the growth of DRX nuclei, which is responsible for the formation of coarse grains, However, the growth rate of SRX nuclei is relatively small due to the low dislocation density and pinning effects of δ phase.展开更多

The results show that on the same radial line of tunneling interface, the boring distance of cutting tools installed on a different radius is not equal. The cutting radial line of tunneling interface is a polyline and its height is determined by phase angle and penetration of cutting tools. Both phase difference and the installation radius between adjacent disc cutters have little effect on the vertical force and rolling force, but increase with the increase in cutter spacing. In addition, when increasing phase difference and cutter space bilaterally, and reducing installation radius simultaneously, the lateral force would be improved. Related results have been verified onl O0 t rotary tool cutting test platform.展开更多

文摘Sandwich-like Al/Ti/Al-laminated composites have many advantages such as low density and high specific strength with value in mechanical manufacturing and aerospace engineering.Here,Al/Ti/Al-laminated composites were fabricated by hot roll bonding and subsequent processes:cryorolling(-190℃and-100℃),cold rolling(25℃),and hot rolling(300℃).Their bonding strength and mechanical properties were then studied by an Autograph AGS-X universal electronic testing machine.The results show that cryorolling can improve the interface bonding strength and tensile strength of Al/Ti/Allaminated composites.For the Al/Ti/Al-laminated composites subjected to cryorolling at-100℃,they have the highest strength near 260 MPa—this is 48 MPa and 41 MPa higher than the laminated composites subjected to cold and hot rolling,respectively.These results also show the strongest peeling strength.Finally,the mechanisms of the enhancement of bonding strength and mechanical properties of Al/Ti/Al-laminated composites subjected to cryorolling were mainly discussed.

文摘In the present study,a fully lamellar Ti6Al4V alloy was severely deformed by high pressure torsion(HPT)process under a pressure of 7.5 GPa up to 10 revolutions.Experimental results revealed that the microhardness of Ti6Al4V was increased remarkably by about~41%and saturated at about 432 Hv after the HPT process.A relatively uniform bulk nanostructured Ti6Al4V alloy with an average grain size of about52.7 nm was obtained eventually,and no obvious formation of metastableωphase was detected by XRD analysis.For the first time,the tribological properties of the HPT processed Ti6Al4V alloy were investigated by a ball-on-disc test at room temperature under a dry condition.It was found that HPT process had a great influence on the friction and wear behaviors of Ti6Al4V alloy.With increasing the number of HPT revolutions,both friction coefficient and specific wear rate were obviously decreased due to the reduction of abrasion and adhesion wears.After being deformed by 10 HPT revolutions,the friction coefficient was reduced from about 0.49 to 0.37,and the specific wear rate was reduced by about 48%.The observations in this study indicated that HPT processed Ti6Al4V alloys had good potential in structural applications owing to their greatly improved mechanical and tribological properties.

文摘In view of the present situation of low cavitation performance of deep-sea mining slurry pump, the effect of solid phase on the cavitation performance of deep-sea mining pump is analyzed theoretically. The relationship between gas and liquid phases are established by cavitation nucleon theory and mass energy equation as well as solid phase and liquid phase, and then we explored the relationship between gas phase and solid phase. The results show that the critical bubble radius and solid-phase concentration flow rate during the cavitation can be related to the liquid pressure. Eq.(19) show that the larger the solid particle concentration and the solid phase flow, the earlier the cavitation will occur, and pump anti-cavitation performance will decline.

文摘In the present investigation, the relation of pre-ageing temperature and pre-ageing time to mechanical properties was studied, and a model was established to predict the mechanical properties of AA6005 Al alloy. Compared with the experimental results, the deviation of the proposed model was limited to 8.1%, which showed reasonable accuracy of forecasting. It was found that the performance of AA6005 alloy was better at higher pre-ageing temperature with shorter pre-ageing time than that at T6 temper. The microstructure of the alloy was observed by transmission electron microscopy, and the results showed that high dislocation density and precipitate density existed at 160 ℃ and 200 ℃ pre-ageing, which were in good agreement with the model.

文摘To extend the service life of the clinched joint,a reconditioning process conducted with an additional tubular rivet was proposed in this work.Different reconditioning forces were employed to produce dissimilar reconditioned joints by experimental method.The experimental results indicated that the neck fracture was the common failure mode of both original clinched and reconditioned joints.Compared with the original clinched joint,the shearing strength of the reconditioned joint produced by a reconditioning force of 40 kN increased from 1810.5 to 1986.47 N,and the energy absorption increased from 2.34 to 3.46 J.The range of effective reconditioning force was from 35 to 40 kN and 40 kN was the best choice for reconditioning the AA5052 failed joints.The mechanical properties of the reconditioned joints are obviously better than those of the original clinched joints,which fully demonstrates that the reconditioning method proposed in this work has a broad prospect of industrial application.

文摘The effects of solution treatment temperature and holding time on the microstructure and mechanical properties of extruded Al-6.02 wt.%Zn-1.94 wt.%Mg alloy were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC),optical microscopy(OM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD), and tensile test. The results showed that the optimum solution treatment process for the alloy was 470 ℃, 2 h. The tensile strength, yield strength,and elongation of the samples after the aging treatment at 120℃ for 24 h were 486 MPa, 431 MPa, and 14.8%,respectively. The alloy produced more copious recrystallization with the augment of solution temperature and the extension of holding time. While the second phase of η(MgZn_(2)), and T(AlZnMgCu) in the matrix was not fully re-dissolved under the treatment condition of lower temperature or shorter holding time. Interestingly, the Zr aggregation was observed in the samples treated at 510 ℃ for 2 h, which led to the growth of the second phase particles and the increase of their area fraction.

文摘The orientation effect of θʹ precipitates in stress-aged Al-Cu alloys has ambiguous interpretations. One view is that θʹ precipitates prefer to grow on the habit planes perpendicular to the applied compressive stress, while the other view suggests growth on habit planes parallel to the applied stress. In this study, stress-aged Al-4 wt.%Cu single crystal was sampled from three different <100>Al zone axes to observe the distribution of θʹ precipitates. A hybrid Monte-Carlo/ molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate the orientation effect of θʹ precipitates. The simulation results are consistent with experimental observations and indicate that θʹ precipitates prefer to grow on the habit planes that are parallel to the direction of the applied compressive stress, not along the planes perpendicular to it. It is also found that 1/2<110> perfect dislocations are generated as θʹ precipitates plates grow thicker, and the reaction of 1/2<110> perfect dislocations decomposing into 1/6<112> Shockley dislocations lead to an increase in the length of θʹ precipitates. The former does not enhance the orientation effect, whereas the latter leads to a more significant orientation effect. Additionally, the degree of the orientation effect of θʹ precipitates is determined by the reduction of 1/2<110> dislocations with a positive correlation between them.

文摘The large 2219 Al alloy rings used to connect propellant tank components of a satellite launch vehicle to each other are conventionally manufactured by radial-axial ring rolling at 460°C with 50% deformation,but often suffer from coarse elongated grain and low ductility. An improved process(hot ring rolling at460°C with 30% deformation, then air cooling to 240°C, followed by ring rolling at 240°C with 20% deformation) was tested for ring manufacturing. The corresponding microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of the produced rings were studied. The results show that the improved process can successfully be applied to manufacture the large 2219 Al alloy rings without formation of macroscopic defects,resulting in a product with fine and uniform grains after heat treatment. The fracture mechanism of both rings was mainly intergranular fracture. With the resulting grain size refinement due to the improved process, more homogeneous slip occured and the crack propagation path became more tortuous during the tensile testing process. Thus, the elongation in all three orthogonal directions was greatly improved,and the axial elongation increased from 3.5% to 10.0%.

文摘In authors’ previous work [Mater. Charact. 141 (2018) 212-222]. it was found that the heterogeneous deformed microstructures can be replaced by the relatively homogeneous recrystallized grains through an annealing treatment. However, there are still some relatively large recrystallized grains. To find the reasons for the formation of large grains, some new annealing treatment tests were done, and the cellular automation (CA) simulations were carried out in the present work. The experimental results showed that the microstructural evolution during annealing treatment is significantly affected by the content of S phase. So. the effects of δ phase on the nucleation and growth of grains are carefully considered in the CA model to accurately simulate the microstructural evolution behavior. By the CA simulation, it is found that the dislocation density rapidly decreases due to the nucleation of static recrystallization (SRX) and the growth of dynamc recrystallization (DRX) nuclei at the early stage of annealing. The high initial dislocation density provide the high velocity for the growth of DRX nuclei, which is responsible for the formation of coarse grains, However, the growth rate of SRX nuclei is relatively small due to the low dislocation density and pinning effects of δ phase.

文摘To obtain flow behavior and workability of 7055 aluminium alloy during hot deformation,hot compression tests at different temperatures and strain rates are conducted.True stress?strain curves of 7055 aluminium alloy under different conditions are obtained and the flow stress increases with ascending strain rate and descending temperature.For Arrhenius constitutive equation,each material parameter is set as a constant,which will bring forth large error for predicting flow behavior.In this work,material parameters are fitted as a function of temperature or strain rate based on experimental results and a modified constitutive equation is established for more accurate prediction of flow behavior of 7055 aluminium alloy.The effects of temperature and strain rate on power dissipation and instability are analyzed to establish a processing map of 7055 aluminium alloy.The dominant deformation mechanism for microstructure evolution at different deformation conditions can be determined and high efficiency of power dissipation may be achieved from power dissipation map.Meanwhile,proper processing parameters to avoid flow instability can be easily acquired in instability map.According to the processing map,optimized processing parameters of 7055 aluminium alloy are temperature of 673?723 K and strain rate of 0.01?0.4 s^?1,during which its efficiency of power dissipation is over 30%.Finite element method(FEM)is used to obtain optimized parameter in hot rolling process on the basis of processing map.

文摘According to the cutting characteristics of progressive spiral movement by rotary cutting of the disc cutter, using the broken theory of interaction of compression and shearing, the three-axis force rotary cutting mechanical model of disc cutter was established and the influence of installation radius, the phase difference and the cutter space on the mechanics of disc cutter were analyzed. The results show that on the same radial line of tunneling interface, the boring distance of cutting tools installed on a different radius is not equal. The cutting radial line of tunneling interface is a polyline and its height is determined by phase angle and penetration of cutting tools. Both phase difference and the installation radius between adjacent disc cutters have little effect on the vertical force and rolling force, but increase with the increase in cutter spacing. In addition, when increasing phase difference and cutter space bilaterally, and reducing installation radius simultaneously, the lateral force would be improved. Related results have been verified onl O0 t rotary tool cutting test platform.

文摘To investigate the flow behavior of 2219 Al alloy during warm deformation,the thermal compression test was conducted in the temperature range of 483-573 K and the strain rate range of 0.001-5 s^(-1) on a Gleeble-3500 thermomechanical simulation unit.The true stress-true strain curves obtained showed that the flow stress increased with the decrease in temperature and/or the increase in strain rate and the softening mechanism primarily proceeded via dynamic recovery.The modification on the conventional Arrhenius-type constitutive model approach was made,the material variables and activation energy were determined to be dependent on the deformation parameters.The modified flow stresses were found to be in close agreement with the experimental values.Furthermore,the activation energy obtained under different deformation conditions showed that it decreased with the rise in temperature and/or strain rate,and was also affected by the coupled effect of strain and strain rate.

文摘In order to improve mechanical properties of 6082 aluminum alloy,the SiC_(p)/Al 6082 composites were prepared by the addition of the micron-sized SiC_(p)articles combined with the squeeze casting.The effects of the SiC_(p)content and squeeze casting on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the 6082 aluminum alloy were investigated by SEM,EDS,TEM,tensile testing and hardness testing analysis methods.Research results exhibited that the SiC_(p)content and squeeze casting had a significant impact on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the 6082 aluminum alloy.The addition of the SiC_(p)refined the grain size of the 6082 aluminum alloy while caused the increase of the porosity with increasing the SiC_(p)content,especially in the permanent mold casting condition.Compared to the permanent mold casting,the squeeze casting obviously reduced pore defects,refined grain size and made the SiC_(p)distribute evenly as well as bond tightly with the Al matrix.The tensile strength,yield strength,elongation,elastic modulus and hardness of the 6082 aluminum alloy obtained with the SiC_(p)and squeeze casting were remarkably improved,and the optimal mechanical properties were obtained with a 2 wt.%SiC_(p),and they increased 10.73%,72.7%,193.9%,23.5%and 25.2%,respectively,compared to those of the6082 aluminum alloy obtained without SiC_(p)and squeeze casting.The fracture surface of the SiC_(p)/Al 6082 composites obtained with the squeeze casting was dense and exhibited a ductile fracture mode.
