The results indicate that the elongated grain structure influences the tensile properties and creep rupture life of Fe3Al alloy significantly. For the better strength and ductility at RT,a thinner elongated grain structure is desirable. When the elongated grain size is increased, the tensile properties will be decreased. On the other hand, the creeP rupture life at 600℃ is increased with the increase of elongated grain size.展开更多

The simulation results show that, during stress-free aging of the NiTi alloy with a low supersaturation of Ni （i.e., Ti-51.5%Ni）, the Ni4Ti3 precipitates exhibit a heterogeneous distribution with a high number density of particles at the grain boundary, leaving most of the grain interiors free of precipitates; while for the NiTi alloy with a high supersaturation of Ni （i.e., Ti-52.5%Ni）, the Ni4Ti3 precipitates show a homogeneous distribution across the entire simulation system. The stress-assisted aging can give rise to homogeneous distribution of the precipitates, regardless of the initial Ni-content; however, the distribution of variant type within the two grains is heterogeneous.展开更多

The experimental results show as follows: at 1040～1120℃ 14h WQ, the microstruc-ture of Ti-14Al-21Nb bar is primary phaseα_2+B2. With temperature increasing, the primary α_2 phase de-crease and the mechanical properties ultimate tensile strength (UTS), yield strength (YS) and elongation(EL) at room temperature increase. When it has reduced the α_2 phase by 50% (at 1080℃/4h WQ) , the me-chanical properties at room temperature are excellent , EL being 10. 5%. Following the α_2 phase reduces contin-uously , UTS, YS are going up, but EL is going down. After heated at two phases range and cooled down tothe room temperature with furnace, the microstructure of Ti-14Al-20Nb-3.5V-2Mo alloy is the equiaxed α_2+needle-like α_2+βphase. The mechanical properties at room temperature and 700℃ are fairly good.展开更多

The diffusivity data f...The diffusivity of hydrogen in two Ni3Al alloys (No.1 and No.2) has been measured in the temperature range of 100 degreesC to 420 degreesC using an ultrahigh vacuum gaseous permeation technique. The diffusivity data fall into two segments, in which the hydrogen diffusivity adheres to the Arrhenius form, respectively. From the hydrogen diffusivity, it is conjectured that the hydrogen diffusivity reflects the hydrogen transportation along the grain boundaries at lower temperature and the hydrogen transportation in the lattice at higher temperature. The intergranular fracture of Lit-type intermetallics induced by hydrogen at relative low temperature results from hydrogen transportation along the grain boundaries and not in the lattice.展开更多

The phase component, microstructure, composition distribution and properties of the composite layer were investigated. The composite layer has graded microstructures and compositions, due to the fast melting followed by rapid solidification and cooling during laser cladding. The TiC powders are completely dissolved into the melted layer during melting and segregated as fine dendrites when solidified. The size of TiC dendrites decreases with increasing depth. Y2O3 fine particles distribute in the whole clad layer. The Y2O3 particle enhanced Ni/TiC composite layer has a quite uniform hardness along depth with a maximum value of HV1380, which is 4 times higher than the initial hardness. The wear resistance of the Ti alloy is significantly improved after laser cladding due to the high hardness of the composite coating.展开更多

Its higher catalytic activity than amorphous Ni B/γ Al 2O 3 catalyst 2, prepared by conventional one step desiccation procedure at 110 ℃, is identified in liquid phase benzene hydrogenation to cyclohexane. Both catalysts are characterized by XRD and SEM, Ni B/γ Al 2O 3 catalyst 1 has a higher active specific surface area and dispersion degree, which can be assigned to more effective distribution of nickel salt over the support during desiccation, thus resulting in its superior activity in benzene hydrogenation.展开更多
