Microstructure evolution and reaction behavior of Cu–Ni alloy and B_4C powder system

Microstructure evolution and reaction behavior of Cu–Ni alloy and B_4C power system was studied by in-situ and static experimental investigations along with theoretical calculations. The reaction process was as follows. Firstly,B_4C decomposed into B and C atoms, and then B atoms diffused into Cu–Ni matrix, leading to the formation of Ni_2B particles. Subsequently, Ni atoms diffused into B_4C, forming a loose mixture of Ni_2B and amorphous C at the initial powder boundary. Finally, with the completion of reaction, Ni_2B particles at the powder boundary grew into a monolithic block, and then C substance was excluded out and accumulated at the edge of this monolithic Ni_2B block. It is believed that the formation of Ni_2B phase is caused by the most negative change of Gibbs free energy among all the potential reactions between Ni–B and Ni–B_4C systems.     

Effect of thermo-mechanical treatment on Ti–Ta-Hf high temperature shape memory alloy

The microstructure, martensitic transformation and mechanical/functional properties of Ti–Ta-Hf alloys with various thermo-mechanical treatments were investigated. The results reveal that the hot-rolling could refine the grain size and introduce a certain number of defects, resulting in the disappearance of martensitic transformation. The as-casted and solution treated Ti–Ta-Hf alloys were composed of α'' martensite phase and smaller volume of β phase. In contrast, the grain size of solution treated Ti–Ta-Hf alloy was slightly less than that of as-casted Ti–Ta-Hf alloy. This should be responsible to the higher yield stress and superior strain recovery characteristics for solution treated Ti–Ta-Hf alloy. The yield stress for the dislocation slip and the maximum recoverable strain of solution treated Ti–Ta-Hf alloy were 723 ​MPa and 5.06%, respectively.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of Cr doped WCoB based cermets by spark plasma sintering and first principle calculation

WCoB based cermet is a potential hard alloy to replace WC-Co cermets with high hardness and corrosion resistance. WCoB based cermets with different Cr doping contents were fabricated by spark plasma sintering in liquid phase sintering stage. The densification behavior, phase composition, microstructure and mechanical properties of Cr doped WCoB cermets were investigated by XRD, EDS and SEM. Due to the lower density of Cr,the density of WCoB cermets decreased with the increasing of Cr doping content. The phase composition consisted of Cr doped WCoB, unreacted W, Co–Cr binary binder phase. When the doping content exceeded11.736 wt%, the Cr enrichment zones appeared, which was harmful to the TRS. The increasing of Cr doping content contributed to the increase of unreacted W phases content and the formation of pores. The maximum value of Vickers hardness was 1751 Hv0.5 at 9.356 wt% Cr doping content. The variation trend was explained by first principle calculation, which is consistent with Hv-Zhou hardness model.     

Effect of minor Sc on the microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ91 Magnesium Alloy

The as-cast and heat-treated microstructures and mechanical properties of the AZ91 magnesium alloys with and without minor Sc addition were investigated and compared in this paper. The results indicated that adding0.15–0.45 wt% Sc to the as-cast AZ91 alloy not only could modify and refine the Mg_(17)Al_(12) phase but also suppress the formation of the Mg_(17)Al_(12) phase. At the same time, the grains of the Sc-containing as-cast AZ91 alloys were also effectively refined. As a result, the mechanical properties at room temperature(RT) for the Sccontaining as-cast AZ91 alloys were effectively improved. In addition, adding 0.15–0.45 wt%Sc to the AZ91 alloy promoted the formation of the continuous precipitates(CP) during the aging treatment in spite of that the formation of the discontinuous precipitates(DP) was simultaneously suppressed. Accordingly, the Sc-containing as-aged AZ91 alloys obtained the relatively higher mechanical properties at RT than the as-aged AZ91 alloy.     

The microstructure evolution and phase transformation behavior of a β-solidifying γ-TiAl alloy during creep

The microstructural evolution and creep behavior of the Ti-43.5Al–4Nb–1Mo-0.1B alloy have been investigated by scanning electron microscope(SEM) and transmission electron microscope(TEM). The excellent creep property was obtained with a fully lamellar(FL) microstructure containing the least grain boundary β_o phase(GB-β_o).TEM results revealed that after creep testing the α₂→βophase transformation was observed in the FL microstructure. The formation βophase is asso...     

MgO活性对碱矿渣砂浆抗碳化性能的影响

本文研究了掺入三种活性（高、中、低）MgO的碱矿渣砂浆（AASM）在加速碳化环境下的碳化深度和碳化后抗压强度保留率,并通过XRD、TG和MIP等手段研究了AASM的碳化前后水化产物和孔结构。结果表明：不同活性的MgO均可以降低AASM的碳化深度、提高AASM的抗压强度保留率;随着MgO活性的增加,MgO在AASM中反应越充分,生成更多的类水滑石填充孔隙,CO2向AASM内部扩散速率越慢;类水滑石和未完全反应的MgO可以与CO2发生反应,使得AASM碳化后保留更多的C-(A)-S-H凝胶,AASM的孔结构劣化程度越低,因而碳化后AASM的抗压强度和抗压强度保留率越高,碳化深度越小。     

全风化花岗岩地层膨润土-超细水泥浆液滤失特性研究

针对全风化花岗岩地层注浆加固时,遇到微小孔隙时的浆液失水问题,开展不同膨润土-超细水泥浆液配方的滤失试验,并对滤失泥饼进行微观结构对比分析研究。结果表明,膨润土含量及其水化胶体的形态与分布决定浆液滤失性能;适量加入超细水泥,增加细颗粒含量,胶结体更易填充颗粒间隙,滤失量相比不加超细水泥试验组减小;超量加入超细水泥导致胶体被细颗粒包裹,则无法阻止失水,滤失量反而最大。采用有限元方法进行多孔介质内渗流的数值模拟研究,探究了胶体形态、分布对泥饼内渗流影响,发现分散块状和大、小孔隙状抗滤失性极差,完整膜状抗滤失性最佳。     

A STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL BRAIDS

This paper describes a study of three-dimensional braids produced by a four-step 1 × 1 method. An analytical approach is employed in conjunction with experimental investigations to establish the relationship between the braid structure and braiding parameters. Based on microscopic observations, we divide a three-dimensional braid structure into three representative regions, i.e., the interior, surface and corner, and treat the three regions, respectively. Three types of microstructural unit-cell models are then established. The surface characteristics and the relationship between the interior and surface unit-cells have been derived. Good agreement has been obtained between the calculated and measured values of fiber volume fraction of the braided composite samples.     

Microstructural characterization of cobalt treated by laser surface melting under different powers

The effect of laser power outputs on microstructural evolution of cobalt(Co) treated by laser surface melting(LSM) are systematically characterized by electron channeling contrast and electron backscatter diffraction techniques equipped in scanning electron microscope. Results shows three distinctly different microstructural characteristics from surface to substrate in Co samples treated by LSM: solidification substructure(cell and cellular-dendritic) and phase transformation structure(ε martensitic plates) in the elongated columnar grains for melting zone(MZ), ε martensitic plates in insufficient recrystallization grains for heat affected zone(HAZ),and fully recrystallization microstructure for base metal(BM). Although the similarity of general evolution profiles for LSM treatment on Co under different laser power outputs, the trend of the penetration and width depth for MZ is obviously increased with increase of laser power outputs, and cellular substructure is more pronounced in the specimens treated by the higher power. The metallurgical mechanisms for LSM treatment of Co, which are closely related to the interaction between heat sources and metal, are systematically discussed in this paper.
