The results show that the main phases are S(Al2CuMg), T(Al2Mg3Zn3) and Mg Zn2, with a small amount of Al7Cu2 Fe and Al3 Zr in the as-cast 7X50 alloy. The volume fraction of the dendritic-network structure and residual phase decreases gradually during the homogenization. After homogenization at 470 °C for 24 h and then 482 °C for 12 h, the T(Al2Mg3Zn3) phase disappears and minimal S(Al2CuMg) phase remains, while almost no change has happened for Al7Cu2 Fe. There is a strong endothermic peak at 477.8 °C in the DSC curve of as-cast alloy. A new endothermic peak appears at 487.5 °C for the sample homogenized at 470 °C for 1 h. However, this endothermic peak disappears after being homogenized at 482 °C for 24 h. The T(Al2Mg3Zn3) phase cannot be observed by XRD, which is consistent with that T phase is the associated one of S(Al2CuMg) phase and Mg Zn2 phase. The volume fraction of recrystallized grains is substantially less in the plate with pre-homogenization treatment. The strength and fracture toughness of the plate with pre-homogenization treatment are about 15 MPa and 3.3 MPa·m1/2 higher than those of the material with conventional homogenization treatment.展开更多

Residual stresses were also analyzed by X-ray diffraction technique. Results show that the equiatomic FeMnCoCrNi HEAs with a relatively stable single-phase face-centered cubic(FCC) structure suffered from micro-cracking with residual tensile stress after laser melting. In contrast, the metastable non-equiatomic Fe MnCoCr HEAs with reduced stacking fault energy are free of micro-cracks with residual compressive stress at various volumetric energy densities(VEDs). The displacive transformation from the FCC matrix to the hexagonal close-packed(HCP) phase during cooling prevents the micro-cracking via consuming thermal stress related internal energy. Further, the displacive transformation during tensile deformation contributes to the higher strength and ductility of the metastable dual-phase HEA compared to that of the stable single-phase HEA. These findings provide useful guidance for the design of strong, ductile, and crack-free alloys for additive manufacturing by tuning phase stability.展开更多

They usually introduce residual motion compensation errors for airborne single-antenna SAR imaging and SAR interferometry. In this paper, we investigate the effects of residual uncompensated motion errors, which are caused by the above two approximations, on the performance of airborne along-track interferometric SAR （ATI-SAR）. The residual uncompensated errors caused by center-beam approximation in the absence and in the presence of elevation errors are derived, respectively. Airborne simulation parameters are used to verify the correctness of the analysis and to show the impacts of residual uncompensated errors on the interferometric phase errors for ATI-SAR. It is shown that the interferometric phase errors caused by the center-beam approximation with an accurate DEM could be neglected, while the interferometric phase errors caused by the center-beam approximation with an inaccurate DEM cannot be neglected when the elevation errors exceed a threshold. This research provides theoretical bases for the error source analysis and signal processing of airborne ATI-SAR.展开更多

Both thermal stress and intrinsic stress are considered to constitute the final residual stress in the model. The deposition process conditions such as deposition temperature, oxygen pressure, and film growth rate are correlated to the full stress model to analyze the final residual stress distribution, and thus the deformation of the deposited multilayer system under different process conditions. Also, the model is numerically realized with in-house built code. A deposition of Ag-Cu multilayer system is simulated with the as-built extended stress model, and the final residual stresses under different deposition conditions are discussed with part of the results compared with experiment from other literature.展开更多

文摘Al-Zn-Mg-Cu合金广泛应用于航空航天等高端关键构件,然而由于其残余结晶相及晶界元素偏析等缺陷的影响,造成构件的力学性能较差等问题。因此,在变形温度435℃和变形速率0.01 s^(-1)的条件下,对均质后的Al-Zn-Mg-Cu合金方坯进行多向锻造(Multi-directional forging,MDF)试验。通过扫描电子显微镜(Scanning electron microscopy,SEM)、能谱仪(Energy dispersive spectrometer,EDS)和电子背散射衍射(Electron back scatter diffraction,EBSD)等微观表征手段,研究多向锻造道次对该合金晶粒形态、残余结晶相分布和元素偏析的影响规律。结果表明,锻造道次对变形后Al-Zn-Mg-Cu合金残余结晶相的消减效果有较大影响。随着锻造道次的增加,合金中的残余结晶的数量逐渐减少,Cu元素偏析问题得到明显改善。经多向锻造后,方坯芯部区域的微观组织表现为整体晶粒粗大,在大晶粒周围存在大量新生再结晶晶粒,且新生晶粒晶界具有典型的动态再结晶特征,而这种动态再结晶趋势随锻造道次增加其效果更明显。
