Effect of heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical property of Ti-steel explosive-rolling clad plate

The effect of heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of the Ti-steel explosive-rolling clad plate was elaborated by optical microscopy （OM）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, micro-hardness test and shear test. The composites were subjected to heat treatment at temperature of 650-950 ~C for 60 min. The results show that the heat treatment process results in a great enhancement of diffusion and microstructural transformation. The shear strength decreases as the treatment temperature increases. Heated at 850 ℃ or below, their shear strength decreases slowly as a result of the formation of TiC in the diffusion interaction layer; while at the temperature of 850 ℃ or above, the shear strength decreases obviously, which is the consequence of a large amount of Ti-Fe intermetaUics （Fe2Ti/FeTi） along with some TiC distributing continuously at diffusion reaction layer.

Global existence and blow up of a degenerate parabolic system

This paper deals with positive solutions of a degenerate parabolic system: u t= Δ u m+ v p ln α(h+u), v t= Δ v n+u q ln β(h+v) with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and positive initial conditions. This system describes the processes of diffusion of heat and burning in two component continuous media with nonlinear conductivity and volume energy release. We obtain the global existence and blow up results of the solution relying on comparison with carefully constructed upper solutions and lower solutions.

Grain growth and thermal stability of nanocrystalline Ni-TiO_2 composites

The grain growth and thermal stability of nanocrystalline Ni-TiO2composites were systematically investigated.Thenanocrystalline Ni-TiO2composites with different contents of TiO2were prepared via electroplating method with the variation ofTiO2nano-particles concentration.The effect of TiO2content on the grain size,phase structure and microhardness was investigatedin detail.The corresponding grain growth and diffusion mechanisms during the heating process were also discussed.The optimalmicrohardness of HV50270was achieved for the composite with addition of20g/L TiO2nano-particles after annealing at400°C for90min.The calculation of the activation energy indicated that lattice diffusion dominated at high temperatures for thenanocrystalline Ni-TiO2composites.It was indicated that the increase of TiO2nano-particles content took effect on restricting thegrain growth at high temperatures by increasing the grain growth activation energy.

Effect of heating time on bonding interface, atom diffusion and mechanical properties of dissimilar titanium joints produced by thermal self-compressing bonding

Solid-state bonding between pure titanium and Ti6Al4V(TC4)alloy was conducted by a new bonding method named as rigid restraint thermal self-compressing bonding.Effects of heating time on bonding interface,atom diffusion and mechanical properties of the joints were studied.Results show that atom diffusion between pure titanium and TC4 alloy significantly takes place during bonding.The diffusion depths of Al and V in pure titanium side are increased with increasing heating time.Due to the enhancement of atom diffusion,bond quality of the bonding interface is improved along with the increase of heating time.The heating time seems to have little effect on microhardness distribution across the joint.However,the tensile strength and ductility of the joint have close relation to heating time.Prolonging heating time can improve the tensile strength and ductility of the joint,especially the latter.When the heating time increases to 450 s,solid-state joint with good combination of strength and ductility is attained.

Process optimization,microstructures and mechanical/thermal properties of Cu/Invar bi-metal matrix composites fabricated by spark plasma sintering

An orthogonal experiment scheme was designed to investigate the effects of the Cu content,compaction pressure,and sintering temperature on the microstructures and mechanical and thermal properties of(30−50)wt.%Cu/Invar bi-metal matrix composites fabricated via spark plasma sintering(SPS).The results indicated that as the Cu content increased from 30 to 50 wt.%,a continuous Cu network gradually appeared,and the density,thermal conductivity(TC)and coefficient of thermal expansion of the composites noticeably increased,but the tensile strength decreased.The increase in the sintering temperature promoted the Cu/Invar interface diffusion,leading to a reduction in the TC but an enhancement in the tensile strength of the composites.The compaction pressure comprehensively affected the thermal properties of the composites.The 50wt.%Cu/Invar composite sintered at 700℃ and 60 MPa had the highest TC(90.7 W/(m·K)),which was significantly higher than the TCs obtained for most of the previously reported Cu/Invar composites.

The present work is concerned with determining the viscosity,diffusion,thermal diffusion factor and thermal conductivity of five equimolar binary gas mixtures including:CF4-He,CF4-Ne,CF4-Ar,CF4-Kr,CF4-Xe from the principle of corresponding states of viscosity by the inversion technique.The Lennard-Jones (12-6) model potential is used as the initial model potential.The calculated interaction potential energies obtained from the inversion procedure is employed to reproduce the viscosities,diffusions,thermal diffusion factors,and thermal conductivities.The accuracies of the calculated viscosity and diffusion coefficients were 1% and 4%,respectively.

Effect of an electrostatic field on gas adsorption and diffusion in tectonic coal

The characteristics of adsorption, desorption, and diffusion of gas in tectonic coal are important for the prediction of coal and gas outbursts. Three types of coal samples, of which both metamorphic grade and degree of damage is different, were selected from Tongchun, Qilin, and Pingdingshan mines. Using a series of experiments in an electrostatic field, we analyzed the characteristics of gas adsorption and diffusion in tectonic coal. We found that gas adsorption in coal conforms to the Langmuir equation in an electrostatic field. Both the depth of the adsorption potential well and the coal molecular electroneg- ativity increases under the action of an electrostatic field. A Joule heating effect was caused by changing the coal-gas system conductivity in an electrostatic field. The quantity of gas adsorbed and AP result from competition between the depth of the adsorption potential well, the coal molecular electronegativ- ity, and the Joule heating effect. △P peaks when the three factors control behavior equally. Compared with anthracite, the impact of the electrostatic field on the gas diffusion capacity of middle and high rank coals is greater. Compared with the original coal, the gas adsorption quantity,△P, and the gas diffusion capacity of tectonic coal are greater in an electrostatic field. In addition, the smaller the particle size of tectonic coal, the larger the△P.

Linear Polarization Components of Scattered 90°

A comparison is made of the intensity distribution of the horizontally and vertically polarized radiation sidescattered from small spherical particles in a cylindrical scattering volume.The incident radiation is a nearly collimated linearly polarized He-Ne laser beam.The scattering medium consists of various concentrations of particles which are either 0.22 μm or 0.494 μm in diameter and which were suspended in filtered,distilled water.In general,the effect of the diameter of the particle on depolari-zing the incident beam is more important than the particle concentration,detector depth,and so on.

Molecular dynamics simulations investigate the long-range effects on TrpR(tryptophan repressor protein)

Molecular dynamics(MD)simulations and anisotropic thermal diffusion dynamics(ATD)simulations were performed on the wild TrpR and its 75 residue mutant(mTrpR)to investigate TrpR longrange effects.The ATD result shows that the mTrpR has higher fluctuation than the wild TrpR,and its helix chainⅡF has particular disorder.It is obvious that the 75 residue of wild TrpR and mTrpR affects the protein dynamics flexibilities by the long-range effects.The ATD and MD both confirm that the differences in the size of side-chain and three-dimensional structures of two different 75 residues in the wild TrpR and mTrpR will spread to the entire protein by way of the long-range effects.Long-range effect affects the protein side chain interaction,conformational changes,flexibilities and secondary structures.Further,the ATD result also shows that each 75 residue of the symmetric homodimer has the same effect,and the two 75 residues have a positive correlation in long-range regulating processes.The residues 48,50,71,79 in chainⅠof wild TrpR and residues 45,72,80 in chainⅡof mTrpR play important roles in long-range interaction processes.
