Oxidation behavior of 4774DD1 Ni-based single-crystal superalloy at 980℃ in air

The oxidation behavior of a novel Ni-based single-crystal 4774DD1 superalloy for industrial gas turbine applications was investigated by the isothermal oxidation at 980℃ and discontinuous oxidation weight gain methods.The phase constitution and morphology of surface oxides and the characteristics of the crosssection oxide film were analyzed by XRD,SEM and EDS.Results show that the oxidation kinetics of the 4774DD1 superalloy follows the cubic law,indicating its weak oxidation resistance at this temperature.As the oxidation time increases,the composition of the oxide film evolves as following:One layer consisting of a bottom Al_(2)O_(3)sublayer and an upper(Al_(2)O_(3)+NiO)mixture sublayer after oxidized for 25 h.Then,two layers composed of an outermost small NiO discontinuous grain layer and an internal layer for 75 h.This internal layer is consisted of the bottom Al_(2)O_(3)sublayer,an intermediate narrow CrTaO_(4)sublayer,and an upper(Al_(2)O_(3)+NiO)mixture sublayer.Also two layers comprising an outermost relative continuous NiO layer with large grain size and an internal layer as the oxidation time increases to 125 h.This internal layer is composed of the upper(Al_(2)O_(3)+NiO)mixture sublayer,an intermediate continuous(CrTaO_(4)+NiWO_(4))mixture sublayer,and a bottom Al_(2)O_(3)sublayer.Finally,three layers consisting of an outermost(NiAl2O_(4)+NiCr2O_(4))mixture layer,an intermediate(CrTaO_(4)+NiWO_(4))mixture layer,and a bottom Al_(2)O_(3)layer for 200 h.

Balancing strength and plasticity of dual-phase amorphous/crystalline nanostructured Mg alloys

The dual-phase amorphous/crystalline nanostructured model proves to be an effective method to improve the plasticity of Mg alloys.The purpose of this paper is to explore an approach to improving the ductility and strength of Mg alloys at the same time.Here,the effect of amorphous phase strength,crystalline phase strength,and amorphous boundary(AB)spacing on the mechanical properties of dual-phase Mg alloys(DPMAs)under tensile loading are investigated by the molecular dynamics simulation method.The results confirm that the strength of DPMA can be significantly improved while its excellent plasticity is maintained by adjusting the strength of the amorphous phase or crystalline phase and optimizing the AB spacing.For the DPMA,when the amorphous phase(or crystalline phase)is strengthened to enhance its strength,the AB spacing should be increased(or reduced)to obtain superior plasticity at the same time.The results also indicate that the DPMA containing high strength amorphous phase exhibits three different deformation modes during plastic deformation with the increase of AB spacing.The research results will present a theoretical basis and early guidance for designing and developing the high-performance dual-phase hexagonal close-packed nanostructured metals.

In this paper, a new D-A copolymer, PFDBCPDT, which consists of benzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole as acceptor units and cyclopentadithiophene and fluorene as donor units, was synthesized. The thermal, electrochemical, photophysical and photovoltaic properties of PFDBCPDT were studied. PFDBCPDT showed a low optical band gap of 1.84 eV, and relatively low HOMO level of-5.69 eV. The best device performance was obtained by PFDBCPDT/PC61BM （1：3） with 0.5 vol% DIO. The device exhibited a power conversion efficiency of 3.06%, with a relatively high open circuit voltage of 0.87 eV.

A simple,practical and eco-friendly visible light-induced alkylation of N-sulfonyl ketamine under metal-,additive-,external photocatalyst-free conditions was developed.This photocatalytic method utilized low cost and abundant alkanes as the atom economy alkyl sources with H2O2as the environmentally beneficial oxidant,allowing for the efficient construction of diverse valuable 4-alkylated sulfonyl ketamines.The N-sulfonyl ketamine played a dual role of reactant and photocatalyst,thus simplifying the reaction system.

Influence of Defects and Crystallographic Orientation on Mechanical Behavior of Nanocrystalline Aluminium

Simulation of molecular dynamics using Embedded Atom Method(EAM) potentials is performed to investigate the mechanical properties of single crystal Al along various crystallographic orientations under tensile loading.The specimens are provided with one or two embedded circular voids to analyze the damage evolution by void growth and coalescence.The simulation result shows that the Young's modulus,yielding stress and ultimate stress decrease with the emergence of the voids.Besides,the simulations show that the single-crystal Al in different crystallographic orientations behaves differently in elongation deformations.The single-crystal Al with 100 crystallographic orientations has greater ductility than other orientated specimens.The incipient plastic deformation and the stress-strain curves are presented and discussed for further understanding of the mechanical properties of single-crystal Al.

The first example of TBAI/H_(2)O cooperative electrocatalytic coupling-annulation of quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones with N-arylglycines was developed. A broad range of tetrahydroimidazo[1,5-a]quinoxalin-4(5H)-ones were obtained in good to excellent yields with exclusive chemoselectivities and excellent regioselectivities. The H-hydrogen bond served as a key factor for the electrocatalytic production of aminomethyl radical at lower oxidative potential.
