Improving Densification and Mechanical Properties of FeAl/TiC Composites by Addition of Ni

FeAl/TiC composites were fabricated by hot pressing blended elemental powders. The effects of Ni-doping on thedensification and mechanical properties of the composites were studied. Results show that the density of the composites decreases with the content of TiC increasing, and the addition of Ni significantly improves the densificationprocess by enhancing mass transfer in the bonding phase. The mechanical properties of the composites are closelyrelated with their porosity. Besides increasing the density of the composites, the addition of Ni improves the mechanical properties by other three effects: solution-strengthening the bonding phase, strengthening the FeAI-TiC interfaceand increasing ductile fracture in FeAl phase.

Tailoring strength-ductility balance of caliber-rolled AZ31 Mg alloy through subsequent annealing

Recently,multi-pass caliber rolling has been shown to be effective for Mg alloys.This study investigated the effect of subsequent annealing on the mechanical properties of a caliber-rolled AZ31 Mg alloy to modulate the strength-ductility relationship.This annealing gave rise to different trends in mechanical properties depending on the temperature regime.Low-temperature annealing(T≤473 K)exhibited a typical trade-off relationship,where an increase in annealing temperature resulted in increased ductility but decreased strength and hardness.Such a heat treatment did not degrade the high strength-ductility balance of the caliber-rolled alloy,suggesting that the mechanical properties could be tailored for different potential applications.In contrast,high-temperature annealing(T>473 K)caused a simultaneous deterioration in strength,hardness,and ductility with increasing annealing temperature.These differences are discussed in terms of the varying microstructural features under the different investigated annealing regimes.

Face stability of shield tunnels considering a kinematically admissible velocity field of soil arching

Existing mechanism of simulating soil movement at tunnel face is generally based on the translational or rotational velocity field,which is,to some extent,different from the real soil movement in the arching zone.Numerical simulations are carried out first to investigate the characteristics of the velocity distribution at tunnel face and above tunnel vault.Then a new kinematically admissible velocity field is proposed to improve the description of the soil movement according to the results of the numerical simulation.Based on the proposed velocity field,an improved failure mechanism is constructed adopting the spatial discretization technique,which takes into account soil arching effect and plastic deformation within soil mass.Finally,the critical face pressure and the proposed mechanism are compared with the results of the numerical simulation,existing analytical studies and experimental tests to verify the accuracy and improvement of the presented method.The proposed mechanism can serve as an alternative approach for the face stability analysis.

Improved tensile properties of AZ31 Mg alloy subjected to various caliber-rolling strains

A multi-pass caliber rolling has attracted attentions as an alternative to severe plastic deformation processes.The present study enhanced strength and ductility of AZ31 Mg alloy simultaneously through the application of caliber rolling.The improving trends in tensile properties were interpreted with various caliber-rolling strains.The oval/circular-shaped calibers imposed a high plastic strain at the center of crosssection,leading to effective grain refinement to submicron scale.This work also confirmed the texture randomizing effect of caliber rolling.Such microstructural evolutions gave rise to the fabrication of high-strength material.Moreover,the caliber-rolled AZ31 Mg alloys exhibited an improvement in ductility as compared to the as-received sheet-rolled material.This was discussed in terms of activation of non-basal slip systems and suppression of mechanical twinning.This study successfully proved the possibility of caliber rolling to produce a bulk Mg rod with enhanced tensile properties.

Performance improvement of continuous carbon nanotube fibers by acid treatment

Continuous CNT fibers have been directly fabricated in a speed of 50 m/h-400 m/h,based on an improved chemical vapor deposition method.As-prepared fibers are further post-treated by acid.According to the SEM images and Raman spectra,the acid treatment results in the compaction and surface modification of the CNTs in fibers,which are beneficial for the electron and load transfer.Compared to the HNO3 treatment,HClSO_3 or H_2SO_4 treatment is more effective for the improvement of the fibers＇ properties.After HCISO_3 treatment for 2 h,the fibers＇ strength and electrical conductivity reach up to-2 GPa and-4.3 MS/m,which are promoted by-200%and almost one order of magnitude than those without acid treatment,respectively.The load-bearing status of the CNT fibers are analyzed based on the downshifts of the G＇ band and the strain transfer factor of the fibers under tension.The results reveal that acid treatment could greatly enhance the load transfer and inter-bundle strength.With the HCISO3 treatment,the strain transfer factor is enhanced from-3.9%to-53.6%.

Numerical investigations on performance improvement mechanism of a high-power vertical centrifugal pump with special emphasis on hydraulic component matching

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the performance improvement mechanism of a high power vertical centrifugal pump by using numerical calculations.Therefore,a comparative study of energy losses and internal flow characteristics in the original and optimized models was carried out with special attention to the hydraulic component matching.The optimized model(model B)was obtained by optimizing the vaned diffuser and volute based on the original model(model A),mainly the diffuser inlet diameter,diffuser inlet vane angle,volute channel inlet width and volute throat area were changed.Firstly,the comparative results on performance and energy losses of two models showed that the efficiency and head of model B was significantly increased under design and part-load conditions.It is mainly due to the dramatic reduction of energy loss PL in the diffuser and volute.Then,the comparisons of PL and flow patterns in the vaned diffuser showed that the matching optimization between the model B impeller outlet flow angle and diffuser inlet vane angle resulted in a better flow pattern in both the circumferential and axial directions of the diffuser,which leads to the PL3 reduction.The meridian velocity Vm of model B was significantly increased at diffuser inlet regions and resulted in improvements of flow patterns at diffuser middle and outlet regions as well as pressure expansion capacity.Finally,the comparisons of PL and flow characteristics in the volute showed that the turbulence loss reduction in the model B volute was due to the flow pattern improvement at diffuser outlet regions which provided better flow conditions at volute inlet regions.The matching optimization between the diffuser and volute significantly reduced the turbulence loss in volute sections 1–4 and enhanced the pressure expansion capacity in sections 8–10.

Bimetallic zeolite imidazolate framework for enhanced lithium storage boosted by the redox participation of nitrogen atoms

In this work, a bimetallic zeolitic imidazolate framework （ZIF） CoZn-ZIF was synthesized via a facile sol-vothermal approach and applied in lithiumion batteries. The as-prepared CoZn-ZIF shows a high reversible capacity of 605.8 mA b g-i at a current density of 100 mA g^-1, far beyond the performance of the corresponding monometallic Co-ZIF- 67 and Zn-ZIF-8. Ex-situ synchrotron soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and electron paramagnetic resonance techniques were employed to explore the Li^storage mechanism. The superior performance of CoZn-ZIF over Co-ZIF-67 and Zn-ZIF-8 could be mainly attributed to lithiation and delithiation of nitrogen atoms, accompanied by the breakage and recoordination of metal nitrogen bond. Morever, a few metal nitrogen bonds without recoordination will lead to the amorphization of CoZn-ZIF and the formation of few nitrogen radicals.
