Then, some samples are vacu- um annealed at 623 K for 10 h for the study on the thermost.ablity of the nanostructure produced by LSP. The characteristics of the strengthened layer and nanostructure are studied by atomic force microscopy(AFM), scan- ning electron microscope (SEM), electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD), X-ray diffraction(XRD), and transmis- sion electron microscopy(TEM) appliances, meanwhile the enhanced microhardness is tested at cross section. AFM of the processed surface indicates that the deformation is approximately uniform, and LSP slightly increases the roughness. SEM and EBSD of the strengthened cross section show that a phases are compressed to strip- shaped, a proportion of a and ~ phases is shattered to smaller phases from surface to 200 ttm in depth. The sur- face XRD shows that although there is no new produced phase during LSP, the grain size refinement and the in- troduction of lattice micro-strains lead to the broadened peak. The TEM photographs and diffraction patterns in- dicate that the shock wave provides high strain rate deformation and leads to the formation of nanocrystal. Com- pared with the samples before annealing, the dislocation density is lower and the grain-boundary is more distinct in the annealed samples, but the nanocrystal size does not grow bigger after annealing. The microhardness measurement indicates that LSP improves the microhardness of TC6 for about 12.2% on the surface, and the layer affected by LSP is about 500/~m in depth. The microhardness after annealing is 10 HVo.5 lower, but the affected depth does not change. The thermostable study shows that the strengthened layer of TC6 processed by LSP is stable at 623 K. The strengthened thermostable layer can significantly improve the fatigue resistance, wear resis- tance and stress corrosion resistance of the titanium alloy. The study results break the USA standard AMS2546 that titanium parts after LSP are subjected in subsequent processing within 589 K.展开更多

The results showed that the element B has much effect on the glass forming ability of the Ni-W-B metallic glass. Ni-W-B metallic glass could not be fabricated with lower content of B, whereas a higher content of 13.5% B could easily lead to the fully amorphous structure. The glass transition temperature and the onset temperature of crystallization are as high as 768 K and 781.5 K, respectively, and the crystallization activation energy calculated by Ozawa model is(637±60) k J/mol, which showed strong thermal stability of Ni68.6W17.9B13.5 metallic glass. This novel Ni-based metallic glass also exhibited good mechanical properties with the tensile strength of about 2331 MPa. The results indicate that this metallic glass should have a promising application in high strength material.展开更多

The structure and surface morphology of Ni-TiN composite coatings were analyzed by atom force microscope, X-ray diffraction, and trans- mission electron microscopy. Meanwhile, the anti-corrosion properties, hardness and ther- mostability of Ni-TiN nanocomposite films were also investigated and compared with the traditional polycrystalline Ni coatings. The results show that, compared with the traditional polycrystalline Ni film, Ni-TiN nanocomposite coatings display much better corrosion resistance, higher film hardness, and thermal stability. In addition, the hardness of Ni-TiN nanocomposite coatings decreases slightly with the increase of electroplating current density, which may be due to the synergism of hydrogen evolution and faster nucleation/growth rate of nickel crystallites.展开更多

The regularity among the different heat treatment processes, the strength and plasticity, the feature of its structure and substructure have been analyzed. The results show that after being normalized and tempered, the structure of tempered lath martensite and blocky ferrite has been acquired, the grains do not grow up with the increasing of normalizing temperatures. During the tempering process, instead of recrystallization, polygonization of tempered martensite only takes place. Tempering temperature is chief effective factor to the strength of the steel. Moreover the proper heat treatment parameters of Crl2W2MoVNbNB steel have been given.展开更多

However, our micropetrographic observations, solid state ^27Al magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance measurements, interpretation of δ^13C values for whewellite in pelosiderite concretions from Carboniferous sediments, and assessment of whewellite thermal stability show that coalification temperatures can be significantly lower. Also the temperatures of coal alteration may be substantially lower than is stated. Ordinarily, high- temperature alteration is reported, but microthermometric measurements of fluids temperatures and micropetrographic observations show that the coal alteration can take place at low temperatures. For this reason, coals from the Kladno- Rakovnik Basin, part of Late Paleozoic continental basins of the Czech Republic, were analyzed. Regarding coalification, micropetrographic characterizations of unaltered coals, the presence of thermally unstable Al complexes in the coal organic mass documented using ^27Al MAS NMR method, and proven occurrence of whewellite in pelosiderite concretions suggest a lower coalification temperature, max. -70 ℃. Regarding coal alteration, micropetrographic observations revealed (a) the weaker intensity of fluorescence of liptinite, (b) mylonitic structures and microbreccia with carbonate fluid penetration, and (c) high oxygen content in coals (37-38 wt.%). These phenomena are typical for thermal and oxidative alteration of coal. As the temperature of carbonate fluids inferred from fluid inclusion analysis was evaluated as -100-113 ℃, the temperature of coal alteration was suggested as -113℃; the alteration was caused by hot hydrothermal fluids.展开更多

After 6 passes, a high hardness of HV218 is achieved. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations demonstrate that ECAP leads to a significant grain refinement and ultrafine grains down to 100-200 nm are developed after 5 or 6 passes. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicates that the major part of Mg atoms are in solid solution in the deformed material, and the possible strengthening effect of Mg solute atom clusters or precipitates is neglected. The high hardness of the 6 pass-treated materials comes mainly from grain boundary strengthening, which contributes about 41% to the total strength, while dislocations and Mg solid solution contribute about 24% and 35% to the remaining strength, respectively. Also, the thermal stability of this severely deformed material was investigated by hardness measurements. The material is relatively stable when annealed at a temperature lower than 250 ℃, while annealing at 300 ℃ leads to a rapid softening of the material.展开更多

The effects of the chain length of side chain groups on the viscosity, acid value, low temperature fluidity, thermo-oxidative stability, tribological properties and surface tension of diester derivatives were investigated. The results showed that increasing the chain length of side chain groups had a positive influence on the viscosity, viscosity index, acid value, pour point, friction coefficient and wear scar diameter along with a negative influence on the oxidation onset temperature, volatile loss, insoluble deposit, maximum non-seizure load and surface tension. These diester derivatives exhibited improved physicochemical and tribological properties that make themselves promising environmentally friendly biolubricant basestocks.展开更多

The distribution law of thawing temperature field, calculation formulas of thawing radius b, heat flux density q and average thawing temperature T were obtained. It theoretically explains that the main influential factors of thawing radius b, heat flux density q and thawing average temperature T are K,f, Lx and co(l), but Lc affects little. Finally, based on the forcible thawing project of Hulusu air shaft lining, the field data indicate that the analytical formulas of this article are comparatively accurate.展开更多

文摘TC6 titanium alloy samples are processed by laser shock peening (LSP). Then, some samples are vacu- um annealed at 623 K for 10 h for the study on the thermost.ablity of the nanostructure produced by LSP. The characteristics of the strengthened layer and nanostructure are studied by atomic force microscopy(AFM), scan- ning electron microscope (SEM), electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD), X-ray diffraction(XRD), and transmis- sion electron microscopy(TEM) appliances, meanwhile the enhanced microhardness is tested at cross section. AFM of the processed surface indicates that the deformation is approximately uniform, and LSP slightly increases the roughness. SEM and EBSD of the strengthened cross section show that a phases are compressed to strip- shaped, a proportion of a and ~ phases is shattered to smaller phases from surface to 200 ttm in depth. The sur- face XRD shows that although there is no new produced phase during LSP, the grain size refinement and the in- troduction of lattice micro-strains lead to the broadened peak. The TEM photographs and diffraction patterns in- dicate that the shock wave provides high strain rate deformation and leads to the formation of nanocrystal. Com- pared with the samples before annealing, the dislocation density is lower and the grain-boundary is more distinct in the annealed samples, but the nanocrystal size does not grow bigger after annealing. The microhardness measurement indicates that LSP improves the microhardness of TC6 for about 12.2% on the surface, and the layer affected by LSP is about 500/~m in depth. The microhardness after annealing is 10 HVo.5 lower, but the affected depth does not change. The thermostable study shows that the strengthened layer of TC6 processed by LSP is stable at 623 K. The strengthened thermostable layer can significantly improve the fatigue resistance, wear resis- tance and stress corrosion resistance of the titanium alloy. The study results break the USA standard AMS2546 that titanium parts after LSP are subjected in subsequent processing within 589 K.

文摘Coalification temperatures are often considered to be approximately 100-170 ℃ for bituminous coal and 170-275 ℃ for anthracite. However, our micropetrographic observations, solid state ^27Al magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance measurements, interpretation of δ^13C values for whewellite in pelosiderite concretions from Carboniferous sediments, and assessment of whewellite thermal stability show that coalification temperatures can be significantly lower.

These phenomena are typical for thermal and oxidative alteration of coal. As the temperature of carbonate fluids inferred from fluid inclusion analysis was evaluated as -100-113 ℃, the temperature of coal alteration was suggested as -113℃; the alteration was caused by hot hydrothermal fluids.

文摘Multiple direction compression(MDC)was conducted on sintered pure tungsten(99.9%,mass fraction)with different reductions at 1423 K.The microstructure,microhardness and thermal stability of the MDC-processed samples were studied by X-ray diffraction(XRD),electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD)and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC)compared with those of the initial sintered tungsten.The results show that the dislocation density increases significantly with the reduction of MDC,ranging from 3.08×1014 m-2 for the initial sintered tungsten to 8.08×1014 m-2 for the tungsten after MDC with the reduction of 50%.The average grain size decreases from 83.8 to 14.7μm and the microhardness value increases from HV0.2 417 to HV0.2 521.The recrystallization temperature for the tungsten samples processed by MDC is approximately constant at around 1600 K.The MDC of sintered tungsten results in a decrease of grain size concurrent with an increase of uniformly distributed nucleation sites,which leads to the improvement of the thermal stability.

文摘In order to provide a new way for waste cooking oil(WCO) resource utilization, several diester derivatives were obtained from WCO through a three-step chemical modifications, viz.: transesterification, epoxidation and oxirane ring opening with carboxylic acids. The effects of the chain length of side chain groups on the viscosity, acid value, low temperature fluidity, thermo-oxidative stability, tribological properties and surface tension of diester derivatives were investigated. The results showed that increasing the chain length of side chain groups had a positive influence on the viscosity, viscosity index, acid value, pour point, friction coefficient and wear scar diameter along with a negative influence on the oxidation onset temperature, volatile loss, insoluble deposit, maximum non-seizure load and surface tension. These diester derivatives exhibited improved physicochemical and tribological properties that make themselves promising environmentally friendly biolubricant basestocks.

文摘Due to the oxygen storage and release properties,cerium zirconium mixed oxides are recognized as the key material in automotive three-way catalysts.To reveal the effects of co-precipitation temperature on structure,physical and chemical properties of multi-doped cerium zirconium mixed oxides,a series of La and Y doped cerium zirconium mixed oxides(CZLYs)were synthesized via a co-precipitation method,and the physical and chemical properties of CZLYs were systemically characterized by XRD,N_(2) adsorption−desorption,TEM,XPS,oxygen storage capacity(OSC)and hydrogen temperature programmed reduction(H_(2)-TPR).The results show that co-precipitation temperature is an important parameter to influence the crystal size,oxygen storage capacity and thermal stability of CZLYs.When the co-precipitation temperature was 60℃,the best redox properties and thermal stability of CZLYs were obtained.After thermal treatment at 1100℃for 10 h,the specific surface area and oxygen storage capacity of the corresponding aged sample were 15.42 m^(2)/g and 497.7μmol/g,respectively.In addition,a mechanism was proposed to reveal the effects of co-precipitation temperature on the structure and properties of CZLYs.

文摘A comprehensive and systematic research on the forcible thawing temperature field formed by a single heat transfer pipe with unsteady outer surface temperature was carried out by analytic computation according to the theory of similitude. The distribution law of thawing temperature field, calculation formulas of thawing radius b, heat flux density q and average thawing temperature T were obtained. It theoretically explains that the main influential factors of thawing radius b, heat flux density q and thawing average temperature T are K,f, Lx and co(l), but Lc affects little. Finally, based on the forcible thawing project of Hulusu air shaft lining, the field data indicate that the analytical formulas of this article are comparatively accurate.

文摘As-cast microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-6Zn-2Al-0.3Mn (ZA62) alloys with calcium addition were investigated.The as-cast microstructure of the base alloy ZA62 consists of the α-Mg matrix and eutectic phase Mg51Zn20.The Mg51Zn20 eutectic was gradually replaced by MgZn phase and Mg32(Al,Zn)49 phase when calcium is added into the base alloy.Further addition of calcium leads to the increase of grain boundary phases and formation of a new quaternary Mg-Zn-Al-Ca eutectic compound.In comparison with the base alloy,the increase of calcium addition to the base alloy results in the reduction of both strength and ductility at ambient temperature,but increase at elevated temperatures due to the thermal stability of Ca-containing phases.At elevated temperatures,the creep resistance of ZA62 based alloys containing calcium is significantly higher than that of AZ91 which is the most commonly used magnesium alloy.
