In terms of the calculated results, the commonly exposed surfaces of the two minerals were predicted and the relations between surface broken bonds densities and surface energies were analyzed. Then the anisotropic wettability of the commonly exposed surfaces was studied by means of contact angle measurement. The calculation results show that the (101^-4), (213^-4)and (01 1^-8)surfaces for calcite and (111) for fluorite are the most commonly exposed surfaces and there is a good rectilinear relation between surface broken bond density and surface energy with correlation of determination (R^2) of 0.9613 and 0.9969, respectively. The anisotropic wettability of different surfaces after immersing in distilled water and sodium oleate solutions at different concentrations can be explained by anisotropic surface broken bond densities and active Ca sites densities, respectively.展开更多

In terms of the calculation results, the cleavage natures of these minerals were analyzed, and the relationship between surface broken bonds density and surface energy was also established. The results show that the surface broken bonds properties could be used to predict the cleavage nature of most of minerals, and the predicted cleavage planes agree well with those reported in previous literature. Moreover, this work explored a rule that, surface broken bonds density is directly related to surface energy with determination coefficient(R2) of over 0.8, indicating that the former is a dominant factor to determine the latter. Therefore, anisotropic surface broken bonds density can be used to predict the stability of mineral surface and the reactivity of surface atoms.展开更多

The semisolid slurry of this alloy was prepared by ultrasonic vibration (USV) process and then shaped by high pressure diecasting (HPDC). The results show that fine and spherical a-Mg particles were obtained by USV at the nucleation stage, which was mainly attributed to the cavitation and acoustic streaming induced by the USV. Extending USV treatment time increased the solid volume fraction and average particle size, the shape factors were nearly the same, about 0.7. Excellent semisolid slurry of AZ91 magnesium alloy could be obtained within 6 rain by USV near its liquidus temperature. The rheo-HPDC samples treated by USV for 6 min had the maximum ultimate tensile strength and elongation, which were 248 MPa and 7.4%, respectively. It was also found that the ductile fracture mode prevailed in the rheocasting AZ91 magnesium alloy.展开更多

Microstructures of the extruded and different heat-treated bars were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). Grain size of the composites prepared by two-stage solution is smaller than that by single-stage solution. After single-stage solution aging treatment, fine precipitates of both η and AlZnMgCu-rich phase can be found both intragranularly and intergranularly. While after the two-stage solution, an amorphous Si-Cu-Al-O (5 nm) layer appears at the interface. The addition of Ni and Zr modified the influence of the two-stage solution and inhibited the growth of the 7090/SiCp composite grain size. Heat treatments can significantly improve the fracture toughness of the composite. The fracture toughness first decreases then increases with the elongation of the aging time.展开更多

Using the split Hopkinson pressure bar technique, the dynamic mechanicalbehaviour of ECO-RPC was investigated under different strain rates. The results show that the staticmechanical behaviour of ECO-RPC increases with the increase of steel fiber volume fraction andcuring ages. The type of ECO-RPC with the substitution of 25% ultra-fine slag, 25% ultra-fine flyash and 10% silica fume is better than the others with compressive strength, flexural strength, andfracture energy more than 200 MPa, 60 MPa and 30 kJ/m^2, respectively. ECO-RPC has excellent strainrate stiffening effects under dynamic load. Its peak stress, peak strain and the area understrain-stress curve increase with the increase of strain rate. Its fracture pattern changes frombrittleness to toughness under high strain rates.展开更多

However, the effects of pre-existing fracture on ground deformation are not fully understood. In this work, six centrifuge tests are reported to investigate the influence of pre-existing fracture on ground deformation induced by normal faulting in sand, clay and nine-layered soil with interbedded sand and clay layers. Shear box tests were conducted to develop a filter paper technique, which was adopted in soil model preparation to simulate the effects of pre-existing fracture in centrifuge tests. Centrifuge test results show that ground deformation mechanism in clay, sand and nine-layered soil strata is classified as a stationary zone, a shearing zone and a rigid body zone. Inclination of the strain localization is governed by the dilatancy of soil material. Moreover, the pre-existing fracture provides a preferential path for ground deformation and results in a scarp at the ground surface in sand. On the contrary, fault ruptures are observed at the ground surface in clay and nine-layered soil strata.展开更多

It is found that the strain of the composite is concentrated in the matrix, and there is aregion with higher strain along the loading path, which can promote the formation of a void near the particles pole. The stress andstrain in matrix near the particles gradually decrease with the increase of the distance between particles. And it is calculated that thereis a critical distance within which the stress and strain fields of the neighboring particles can influence with each other. This criticaldistance increases with the increase of particle size. It is also found that the angle between the tensile direction and the center line ofparticles plays an important role in the stress and strain distribution. The model with the angle of 0° has the greatest influence on thedistribution of stress and strain in the matrix, while the model with the angle of 45° has the least influence on the distribution of stressand strain in the matrix.展开更多

In additional to the employment of a galvanized plate mould, two kinds of fluxes with special properties were studied and used to harmonize the conflicts between the function of heat transfer and lubrication. An industrial application revealed that the crystallizing temperature (Tc) and crystal ratio (R) of fluxes have a crucible effect on impeding the occurrence of above defects on a slab surface. In the case of slab section (180 to 240) mm(1000 to 1400) mm and casting speed Vc of (0.7 to 1.2) m/min, the optimized parameters of fluxes are Tc of (1170 to 1190) ℃, R of 80 % to 95 % for medium carbon steel, and Tc of (1100 to 1150) ℃, plus R of 40 % to 60 % for high strength low alloy steel.展开更多

The experimental results show that the cast aluminium-silicon alloy without any modification had a number of material defects, such as coarse grains, a loose structure, a large number of shrinkage holes, a long and thin bold-pin shaped silicon-phase, poor material strength and serious brittleness. In addition, installed on the spindle without elastic conjunction, blade No.10 vibrated and inevitably.spun off due to the large centrifugal force. Therefore, blade No.10 first cracked at the locking handle, then broke at the root, which caused all the other 11 blades to be broken by the crack of blade No.10.展开更多
An annealed 50 Cr V4 steel was subjected to cyclic heat treatment process that consists of repeated short-duration(200 s)held at 840 °C(above Ac3 temperature of 790 °C) and short-duration(100 s) held at 700 ...An annealed 50 Cr V4 steel was subjected to cyclic heat treatment process that consists of repeated short-duration(200 s)held at 840 °C(above Ac3 temperature of 790 °C) and short-duration(100 s) held at 700 °C(below Ac1 temperature of 710 °C). The spheroidization ratio of cementite and the average size of particles increase with increasing the cyclic number of heat treatment. After5-cycle heat treatment, the spheroidization ratio of cementite is 100%, and the average size of the cementite particles is about0.53 μm. After cyclic heat treatment, the hardness, ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of the experimental steel gradually decrease with increasing cyclic number of heat treatment. The elongation of the as-received specimens is about 7.4%, the elongation of the 1-cycle specimen is 14.3%, and the elongation of 5-cycle specimen reaches a peak value of 22.5%, thereafter marginally decreases to 18.3% after 6-cycle heat treatment. Accordingly, the fractured surface initially exhibits the regions of wavy lamellar fracture. By increasing the cyclic number of heat treatment cycles, the regions of dimples consume the entire fractured surface gradually. Some large dimples can be found in the fracture surface of the specimen subjected to six heat treatment cycles.展开更多

The study focused on the relationbetween fracture and coal strength, top coal caving ability and work face layout. Based onthe investigation of the fracture system, the control of press cracking was achieved bymatching working face to fracture orientation to improve top-coal caving ability and recovery. The matching principle was pointed out: The top-coal caving working face should beperpendicular to or obliquely cross the primary fracture at a large angle, and cross thesecondary fracture at a small angle. The rational match can increase the recovery ratio oftop-coal and avoid rib spalling. The application of control technology on hard top coalpress cracking was introduced at the Iongwall top-coal caving face.展开更多

文摘The ultra high strength SiC particles (SiCp) reinforced Al-10%Zn-3.6%Mg-1.8%Cu-0.36%Zr-0.15% Ni composite was prepared by spray co-deposition. Microstructures of the extruded and different heat-treated bars were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). Grain size of the composites prepared by two-stage solution is smaller than that by single-stage solution. After single-stage solution aging treatment, fine precipitates of both η and AlZnMgCu-rich phase can be found both intragranularly and intergranularly. While after the two-stage solution, an amorphous Si-Cu-Al-O (5 nm) layer appears at the interface. The addition of Ni and Zr modified the influence of the two-stage solution and inhibited the growth of the 7090/SiCp composite grain size. Heat treatments can significantly improve the fracture toughness of the composite. The fracture toughness first decreases then increases with the elongation of the aging time.
文摘Ecological reactive powder concrete (ECO-RPC) with small sized and differentvolume fraction steel fibers was prepared by substitution of ultra-fine industrial waste powder for50% to 60% cement by weight and replacement of ground fine quartz sand with natural fine aggregate.The effect of steel fiber volume fraction and curing ages on the static mechanical behaviour ofECO-RPC was studied. Using the split Hopkinson pressure bar technique, the dynamic mechanicalbehaviour of ECO-RPC was investigated under different strain rates. The results show that the staticmechanical behaviour of ECO-RPC increases with the increase of steel fiber volume fraction andcuring ages. The type of ECO-RPC with the substitution of 25% ultra-fine slag, 25% ultra-fine flyash and 10% silica fume is better than the others with compressive strength, flexural strength, andfracture energy more than 200 MPa, 60 MPa and 30 kJ/m^2, respectively. ECO-RPC has excellent strainrate stiffening effects under dynamic load. Its peak stress, peak strain and the area understrain-stress curve increase with the increase of strain rate. Its fracture pattern changes frombrittleness to toughness under high strain rates.

文摘An AZ31 HP magnesium alloy was laser beam welded in autogenous mode with AZ61 filler using Nd-YAG laser system.Microstructural examination revealed that the laser beam weld metals obtained with or without filler material had an average grain size of about 12 μm.The microhardness and the tensile strength of the weldments were similar to those of the parent alloy.However,the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behaviour of both the weldments assessed by slow strain rate tensile (SSRT) tests in ASTM D1384 solution was found to be slightly inferior to that of the parent alloy.It was observed that the stress corrosion cracks originated in the weld metal and propagated through the weld metal-HAZ regions in the autogenous weldment.On the other hand,in the weldment obtained with AZ61 filler material,the crack initiation and propagation was in the HAZ region.The localized damage of the magnesium hydroxide/oxide film formed on the surface of the specimens due to the exposure to the corrosive environment during the SSRT tests was found to be responsible for the SCC.

文摘The hot forming behavior,failure mechanism,and microstructure evolution of in-situ TiB_(2)particle-reinforced 7075 aluminum matrix composite were investigated by isothermal compression test under different deformation conditions of deformation temperatures of 300−450℃ and strain rates of 0.001^(−1)s^(−1).The results demonstrate that the failure behavior of the composite exhibits both particle fracture and interface debonding at low temperature and high strain rate,and dimple rupture of the matrix at high temperature and low strain rate.Full dynamic recrystallization,which improves the composite formability,occurs under conditions of high temperature(450℃)and low strain rate(0.001 s^(−1));the grain size of the matrix after hot compression was significantly smaller than that of traditional 7075Al and ex-situ particle reinforced 7075Al matrix composite.Based on the flow stress curves,a constitutive model describing the relationship of the flow stress,true strain,strain rate and temperature was proposed.Furthermore,the processing maps based on both the dynamic material modeling(DMM)and modified DMM(MDMM)were established to analyze flow instability domain of the composite and optimize hot forming processing parameters.The optimum processing domain was determined at temperatures of 425−450℃ and strain rates of 0.001−0.01 s^(−1),in which the fine grain microstructure can be gained and particle crack and interface debonding can be avoided.
文摘Given the nonuse of TiO2 nanoparticles as the reinforcement of AA2024 alloy in fabricating composites by ex-situ casting methods,it was decided to process the AA2024−xTiO2(np)(x=0,0.5 and 1 vol.%)nanocomposites by employing the stir casting method.The structural properties of the produced samples were then investigated by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy;their mechanical properties were also addressed by hardness and tensile tests.The results showed that adding 1 vol.%TiO2 nanoparticles reduced the grain size and dendrite arm spacing by about 66%and 31%,respectively.Also,hardness,ultimate tensile strength,yield strength,and elongation of AA2024−1vol.%TiO2(np)composite were increased by about 25%,28%,4%and 163%,respectively,as compared to those of the monolithic component.The agglomerations of nanoparticles in the structure of nanocomposites were found to be a factor weakening the strength against the strengthening mechanisms.Some agglomerations of nanoparticles in the matrix were detected on the fractured surfaces of the tension test specimens.
文摘The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of Mg addition and T6 heat treatment on microstructure,mechanical and tribological properties of the Al-Si-Cu-Mg alloys.In this context,a series of Al-12Si-3Cu-(0.5-2.5)Mg(wt.%)alloys were produced by permanent mould casting,and then subjected to T6 treatment.Their microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated using OM,XRD,SEM,EDS along with hardness,tension,compression and Charpy impact tests.Dry sliding friction and wear properties of the alloys were studied using a ball-on-disk type tester.It was observed that the microstructure of as-cast Al-12Si-3 Cu-Mg alloys consisted of a(Al),Si,O-CuAb,0-Mg_(2)Si,0-AbMg_(8)Cu(2)Si_(6) and π-AhMg_(3)FeSi_(6) phases.T6 heat treatment gave rise to nearly spherodization of eutectic Si particles,formation of finer 0-CuAH and 0-Mg_(2)Si precipitates and elimination of Chinese script morphology of 0-Mg_(2)Si phase.The addition of Mg up to 2.5 wt.%decreased the hardness,tensile and compressive strengths,tensile elongation and impact toughness of the as-cast and T6-treated alloys and increased their friction coefficient and volume loss.T6 treatment,on the other hand,led to a significant increase in mechanical properties and wear resistance of as-cast alloys.

文摘Physical model tests have been conducted by various researchers to investigate fault rupture propagation and ground deformation induced by bedrock faulting. However, the effects of pre-existing fracture on ground deformation are not fully understood. In this work, six centrifuge tests are reported to investigate the influence of pre-existing fracture on ground deformation induced by normal faulting in sand, clay and nine-layered soil with interbedded sand and clay layers. Shear box tests were conducted to develop a filter paper technique, which was adopted in soil model preparation to simulate the effects of pre-existing fracture in centrifuge tests. Centrifuge test results show that ground deformation mechanism in clay, sand and nine-layered soil strata is classified as a stationary zone, a shearing zone and a rigid body zone. Inclination of the strain localization is governed by the dilatancy of soil material. Moreover, the pre-existing fracture provides a preferential path for ground deformation and results in a scarp at the ground surface in sand. On the contrary, fault ruptures are observed at the ground surface in clay and nine-layered soil strata.

文摘The distribution of stress and strain between adjacent particles in particulate reinforced metal matrix composites wasinvestigated using cohesive zone models. It is found that the strain of the composite is concentrated in the matrix, and there is aregion with higher strain along the loading path, which can promote the formation of a void near the particles pole. The stress andstrain in matrix near the particles gradually decrease with the increase of the distance between particles. And it is calculated that thereis a critical distance within which the stress and strain fields of the neighboring particles can influence with each other. This criticaldistance increases with the increase of particle size. It is also found that the angle between the tensile direction and the center line ofparticles plays an important role in the stress and strain distribution. The model with the angle of 0° has the greatest influence on thedistribution of stress and strain in the matrix, while the model with the angle of 45° has the least influence on the distribution of stressand strain in the matrix.
文摘In the continuous casting production of medium carbon steel (whose mass fraction of carbon is 0.09 % to 0.16 %) and high strength low alloy steel (whose mass fraction of Mn is 0.90 % to 1.40 %), flecks occurring the most often are usually longitudinal and star cracks. In additional to the employment of a galvanized plate mould, two kinds of fluxes with special properties were studied and used to harmonize the conflicts between the function of heat transfer and lubrication. An industrial application revealed that the crystallizing temperature (Tc) and crystal ratio (R) of fluxes have a crucible effect on impeding the occurrence of above defects on a slab surface. In the case of slab section (180 to 240) mm(1000 to 1400) mm and casting speed Vc of (0.7 to 1.2) m/min, the optimized parameters of fluxes are Tc of (1170 to 1190) ℃, R of 80 % to 95 % for medium carbon steel, and Tc of (1100 to 1150) ℃, plus R of 40 % to 60 % for high strength low alloy steel.

文摘TiBw/TC4composite was brazed to Ti60alloy successfully using TiZrNiCu amorphous filler alloy,and the interfacialmicrostructures and mechanical properties were characterized by SEM,EDX,XRD and universal tensile testing machine.The typicalinterfacial microstructure was TiBw/TC4composite/β-Ti+TiB whiskers/(Ti,Zr)2(Ni,Cu)intermetallic layer/β-Ti/Ti60alloy whenbeing brazed at940°C for10min.The interfacial microstructure evolution was influenced strongly by the diffusion and reactionbetween molten fillers and the substrates.Increasing brazing temperature decreased the thickness of brittle(Ti,Zr)2(Ni,Cu)intermetallic layer,which disappeared finally when the brazing temperature exceeded1020°C.Fracture analyses indicated thatcracks were initialized in the brittle intermetallic layer when(Ti,Zr)2(Ni,Cu)phase existed in the brazing seam.The maximumaverage shear strength of joints reached368.6MPa when brazing was conducted at1020°C.Further increasing brazing temperatureto1060°C,the shear strength was decreased due to the formation of coarse lamellar(α+β)-Ti structure.

文摘The failure of all 12 blades of an air fan was investigated by metallurgical and mechanical experiments and an examina-tion of the fracture surface. The experimental results show that the cast aluminium-silicon alloy without any modification had a number of material defects, such as coarse grains, a loose structure, a large number of shrinkage holes, a long and thin bold-pin shaped silicon-phase, poor material strength and serious brittleness. In addition, installed on the spindle without elastic conjunction, blade No.10 vibrated and inevitably.spun off due to the large centrifugal force. Therefore, blade No.10 first cracked at the locking handle, then broke at the root, which caused all the other 11 blades to be broken by the crack of blade No.10.
文摘An annealed 50 Cr V4 steel was subjected to cyclic heat treatment process that consists of repeated short-duration(200 s)held at 840 °C(above Ac3 temperature of 790 °C) and short-duration(100 s) held at 700 °C(below Ac1 temperature of 710 °C). The spheroidization ratio of cementite and the average size of particles increase with increasing the cyclic number of heat treatment. After5-cycle heat treatment, the spheroidization ratio of cementite is 100%, and the average size of the cementite particles is about0.53 μm. After cyclic heat treatment, the hardness, ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of the experimental steel gradually decrease with increasing cyclic number of heat treatment. The elongation of the as-received specimens is about 7.4%, the elongation of the 1-cycle specimen is 14.3%, and the elongation of 5-cycle specimen reaches a peak value of 22.5%, thereafter marginally decreases to 18.3% after 6-cycle heat treatment. Accordingly, the fractured surface initially exhibits the regions of wavy lamellar fracture. By increasing the cyclic number of heat treatment cycles, the regions of dimples consume the entire fractured surface gradually. Some large dimples can be found in the fracture surface of the specimen subjected to six heat treatment cycles.

文摘Through theoretical analysis, simulation test and practice, the law of a fracture'sinfluence on hard top coal press cracking was studied. The study focused on the relationbetween fracture and coal strength, top coal caving ability and work face layout. Based onthe investigation of the fracture system, the control of press cracking was achieved bymatching working face to fracture orientation to improve top-coal caving ability and recovery. The matching principle was pointed out: The top-coal caving working face should beperpendicular to or obliquely cross the primary fracture at a large angle, and cross thesecondary fracture at a small angle. The rational match can increase the recovery ratio oftop-coal and avoid rib spalling. The application of control technology on hard top coalpress cracking was introduced at the Iongwall top-coal caving face.
