The calculated lattice parameters are in good agreement with the experimental and literature values. The calculated heat of formation and cohesive energies showed that MgCu2 has the strongest alloying ability and structural stability. Elastic constants of MgCu2, Mg2 Ca and MgZn2 were calculated, and the bulk moduli, shear moduli, elastic moduli and Poisson ratio were derived. The calculated results show that MgCu2, Mg2 Ca and MgZn2 are all ductile phases. Among the three phases, MgCu2 has the strongest stiffness and the plasticity of MgZn2 phase is the best. Melting points of the three phases were predicted using cohesive energy and elastic constants. Density of states(DOS), Mulliken population, electron occupation number and charge density difference were discussed. Finally, Debye temperature was calculated and discussed.展开更多

Orthogonal experiment was performed to investigate the effects of process parameters on the tensile strength of the joints, and the process parameters were optimized. The optimum process parameters are as follows:beam current of 30 mA, welding speed of 100 mm/min, wire feed rate of 1 m/min and beam offset of-0.3 mm. The microstructures of the optimum joint were studied. The results indicate that the weld is mainly composed of dendriticαphase with little globularεphase, and copper inhomogeneity only occurs at the top of the fusion zone. In addition, a melted region without mixing exists near the weld junction of copper side. This region with a coarser grain size is the weakest section of the joints. It is found that the microhardness of the weld decreases with the increase of the copper content in solid solution. The highest tensile strength of the joint is 276 MPa.展开更多

The tensile tests were performed at room temperature for specimens before and after thermal exposure. The results show that the fusion zone of TC11/Ti2 Al Nb dual-alloy joint welded by EBW is mainly composed of β phase. After deformation and heat treatment, the grain boundaries of the as-cast alloy are broken and the fusion zone mainly consists of β, α2and α phases. The fusion zone performs poor property in the tensile test. Specimens before and after thermal exposure all fail in this area under different deformation conditions. The ultimate tensile strength of specimens after heat treatment is up to 1190 MPa at room temperature. The joints by water quenching after deformation have better plasticity with an elongation up to 4.4%. After thermal exposure at 500 °C for 100 h, the tensile strength of the specimen slightly rises while the ductility changes a little. SEM observation shows that the fracture mechanism is predominantly transgranular under different deformation conditions.展开更多

The results show that the addition of Fe2O3 does not affect the main crystalline phase in the prepared glasses, but it reduces the crystallisation peak temperature, increases the crystallisation activation energy, and reduces the crystal granularity. The ESR results indicate that Fe2O3 can promote crystallization, as it leads to the phase separation of the CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 system due to axial distortion. Moreover, Fe2O3 alters the network structure of the CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 system, allowing Fe3+ to enter octahedral sites that exhibit higher symmetry than tetrahedral sites. All of these factors are favourable to increasing the bending strength. The Mssbauer results reveal that there are two types of coordination for both Fe3+ and Fe2+ and the bending strength of the CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 system increases with the amount of six-coordinate Fe3+. The increasing interaction between Fe3+ and Fe2+ can also enhance the bending strength of the CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 system. The microhardness of the CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 system was determined to be HV 896.9 and the bending strength to be 217 MPa under the heat treatment conditions of nucleation temperature of 700 °C and nucleation time of 2 h, crystallization temperature of 910 °C and crystallization time of 3 h.展开更多

The values of elastic constants and elastic moduli indicate that AlSc2Si2 keeps mechanical stability under high pressure. The mechanical properties of AISc2Si2 are compared with those of Al3Sc. The results indicate that AlSc2Si2 is harder than AI3Sc. Anisotropic constant AU and 3D curved surface of elastic moduli predict that AISc2Si2 is obviously anisotropic under pressure. The electronic structure of AlSc2Si2 exhibits metallic character and the metallicity decreases with the elevated pressure. In addition, optical properties as a function of pressure were calculated and analyzed. The present work provides theoretical support for further experimental work and industrial applications.展开更多

The effect of the sintering temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites was investigated. The results indicate that the aspect ratio of the in situ synthesized TiB whiskers in Ti alloy matrix decreases rapidly with an increase in sintering temperature. However, both the relative density of the sintered specimens and the volume content of TiB whiskers in composites increase with increasing sintering temperature. Thus, the bending strength of the composites synthesized using SPS process increases slowly with increasing the sintering temperature from 850 to 1150 °C. TiB/Ti-1.5Fe-2.25Mo composite synthesized at 1150 °C using SPS method exhibits the highest bending strength of 1596 MPa due to the formation of fine TiB whiskers in Ti alloy matrix and the dense microstructure of the composite.展开更多

Microstructures of the joints were examined by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. Mechanical properties of the joints were evaluated according to tensile strength and microhardness. As a result, influences of filler metals on microstructures and mechanical properties of electron beam welded titanium-stainless steel joints were discussed. The results showed that all the filler metals were helpful to restrain the Ti-Fe intermetallics. The welds with different filler metals were all characterized by solid solution and interfacial intermetallics. For each type of the filler metal, the type of solid solution and interfacial intermetallics depended on the metallurgical reactions between the filler metals and base metals. The interfacial intermetallics were Fe2Ti+Ni3Ti+NiTi2, TiFe, and Cu2Ti+CuTi+CuTi2 in the joints welded with Ni, V, and Cu filler metals, respectively. The tensile strengths of the joints were dependent on the hardness of the interfacial intermetallics. The joint welded with Ag filler metal had the highest tensile strength, which is about 310 MPa.展开更多

The study on the corrosion film formed on the alloys by cyclic voltammetry shows that the addition of Ce slows down the formation of corrosion film. It is therefore concluded from the experimental results that the addition of Ce can increase the tensile strength and HB of Pb Ca alloy and the tensile strength and HB of the alloy increase with the increase of Ce; the addition of Ce also increases the hydrogen and oxygen evolution overpotentials of Pb Ca alloy, and when the content of Ce is 1.0%, the alloy has the highest hydrogen and oxygen evolution overpoteatials; the addition of Ce improves the anticorrosion capability of the alloy, and when the content Ce is 1.0%, the alloy has the best anticorrosion capability; and the addition of Ce also slows down the formation of corrosion film.展开更多

The results show that the volume decrea-ses with the pressure increasing. We calculated the CtJ at various pressures and all the results satisfy mechanical stability crite-ria, thus the TiAl alloy is mechanically stable. The elastic constants? bulk modulus and shear modulus calculated are well in a-greement with the calculated values at zero the pressure. The bulk modulus and shear modulus increase with the pressure in-creasing, which reflects the deformation resistance, and accordingly, deformation resistance can be strengthened with the in-crease of pressure. The brittle nature of TiAl alloy turns to ductile nature in 10 - 20 GPa . The Debye temperature, linear ther-mal expansion and heat capacity are calculated using the quasi-harmonic Debye model under the pressure ranging from 0 to 50 GPa and the temperature ranging from 0 to 1 000 K, which are useful to investigate the effect of temperature and pressure on thermodynamic parameters. Finally, electronic structure is calculated at various pressures,and it can be found that the peak intensity decreases with increasing pressure and the the strength of d-d orbital of Ti is weakened but the ductility is enhanced.展开更多

文摘TiB/Ti-1.5Fe-2.25Mo composites were synthesized in situ using the spark plasma sintering (SPS) method at temperatures of 850-1150 °C. The effect of the sintering temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites was investigated. The results indicate that the aspect ratio of the in situ synthesized TiB whiskers in Ti alloy matrix decreases rapidly with an increase in sintering temperature. However, both the relative density of the sintered specimens and the volume content of TiB whiskers in composites increase with increasing sintering temperature. Thus, the bending strength of the composites synthesized using SPS process increases slowly with increasing the sintering temperature from 850 to 1150 °C. TiB/Ti-1.5Fe-2.25Mo composite synthesized at 1150 °C using SPS method exhibits the highest bending strength of 1596 MPa due to the formation of fine TiB whiskers in Ti alloy matrix and the dense microstructure of the composite.

文摘Sb-based materials have been considered one of the most promising anode electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries,whereas they were commonly synthesized through time-consuming and costly processes.Here,Sb@Sb2O3/reduced graphene oxide(Sb@Sb2O3/rGO)composite was successfully synthesized by a facile one-pot chemical method at ambient temperature.Based on the XRD and TGA analysis,the mass fractions of Sb and Sb2O3 in the Sb@Sb2O3/rGO composite are ca.34.05%and 26.6%,respectively.When used as an alternative electrode for lithium ion batteries,a high reversible capacity of 790.9 mA·h/g could be delivered after 200 cycles with the capacity retention of 93.8%at a current density of 200 mA/g.And a capacity of 260 mA·h/g could be maintained even at 2000 mA/g.These excellent electrochemical properties can be attributed to its well-constructed nanostructure.The Sb and Sb2O3 particles with size of 10 nm were tightly anchored on rGO sheets through electronic coupling,which could not only alleviate the stress induced by the volume expansion,suppress the aggregation of Sb and Sb2O3 particles,but also improve the electron transfer ability during cycling.
文摘High-temperature Ni-based alloys are widely used in the aerospace field due to their excellent properties,but the shortcomings of brittle fracture at the grain boundaries and poor plasticity at room temperature also limit their development to a certain extent.Researchers found that there areγ′precipitation phases similar to Ni_(3)Al in Pt-Al based alloys.In this paper,the CASTEP code of Materials Studio software package is used to simulate the thermal and mechanical properties ofγ′-Pt_(3)Al phase andγ′-Ni_(3)Al phase.By comparing the performance characteristics of the electronic structure,mechanical properties and point defect structure of the two,it is found that the stability,elastic deformation resistance and high temperature creep resistance of theγ′-Pt_(3)Al phase are better than those of theγ′-Ni_(3)Al phase.This will provide theoretical guidance for promoting the development of Pt-Al-based high-temperature materials.
文摘The study on three Pb Ca Sn Al alloys with 0.08%, 0.4% and 1.0% of Ce indicates that the addition of Ce results in an obvious increase in the tensile strength and hardness of the alloys, an increase in the overpotentials of hydrogen and oxygen evolution and the corrosion resistance as well. The study on the corrosion film formed on the alloys by cyclic voltammetry shows that the addition of Ce slows down the formation of corrosion film. It is therefore concluded from the experimental results that the addition of Ce can increase the tensile strength and HB of Pb Ca alloy and the tensile strength and HB of the alloy increase with the increase of Ce; the addition of Ce also increases the hydrogen and oxygen evolution overpotentials of Pb Ca alloy, and when the content of Ce is 1.0%, the alloy has the highest hydrogen and oxygen evolution overpoteatials; the addition of Ce improves the anticorrosion capability of the alloy, and when the content Ce is 1.0%, the alloy has the best anticorrosion capability; and the addition of Ce also slows down the formation of corrosion film.

文摘The effect of pressure on structural, mechanical properties as well as the temperature dependence of thermodynamic properties of TiAl alloy are investigated by implementing first-principles calculations. The results show that the volume decrea-ses with the pressure increasing. We calculated the CtJ at various pressures and all the results satisfy mechanical stability crite-ria, thus the TiAl alloy is mechanically stable. The elastic constants? bulk modulus and shear modulus calculated are well in a-greement with the calculated values at zero the pressure. The bulk modulus and shear modulus increase with the pressure in-creasing, which reflects the deformation resistance, and accordingly, deformation resistance can be strengthened with the in-crease of pressure. The brittle nature of TiAl alloy turns to ductile nature in 10 - 20 GPa . The Debye temperature, linear ther-mal expansion and heat capacity are calculated using the quasi-harmonic Debye model under the pressure ranging from 0 to 50 GPa and the temperature ranging from 0 to 1 000 K, which are useful to investigate the effect of temperature and pressure on thermodynamic parameters. Finally, electronic structure is calculated at various pressures,and it can be found that the peak intensity decreases with increasing pressure and the the strength of d-d orbital of Ti is weakened but the ductility is enhanced.

文摘Molybdenum disulfide(MoS2)was loaded on biocarbon using waste camellia dregs(CDs)as the carbon source,which was further coated with dopamine hydrochloride to construct biocarbon/MoS2 electrode composites.The electrochemical lithium storage performance of the composites with different MoS2 contents was investigated.SEM results demonstrated that the composite had a three-dimensional foam-like structure with MoS2 as the interlayer.XRD and HRTEM tests revealed that MoS2 interlayer spacing in the composite was expanded.XPS analysis showed that new Mo—N bonds were formed in the active material.The electrochemical tests showed that the composite with a MoS2 content of 63%had a high initial specific capacity of 1434 mA·h/g at a current density of 100 mA/g.After a long cycle at a high current,it also showed good cycling stability and the capacity retention was nearly 100%.In addition,it had good lithium ion deintercalation ability in the electrochemical kinetics test.

文摘The conversion reaction-based anode materials of sodium ion batteries have relatively high capacity;however,the application of these materials is limited by their structural collapse due to the poor structure stability.In this work,MoSe_(2) nanosheets were synthesized by a solvothermal method.An organic solvent was intercalated into the MoSe_(2) materials to enlarge the interlayer spacing and improve the conductivity of the material.The MoSe_(2) material was coated with an organic pyrolysis carbon and then a uniform carbon layer was formed.The surface carbon hybridization of the nanosheet materials was realized by the introduction of heteroatoms during the sintering process.The as-prepared MoSe_(2)@N,P-C composites showed a superior rate performance as it could maintain the integrity of the morphology and structure under a high current density.The composites had a discharge specific capacity of 302.4 mA·h/g after 100 cycles at 0.5 A/g,and the capacity retention rate was 84.96%.
