Developing a versatile and efficient method for fabricating these functional materials is crucial but remains challenging. Herein, we report a novel and facile electro-dealloying strategy to simultaneously fabricate porous metals and metallic nanowires using atmospheric radio-frequency(RF) capacitively coupled plasmas. The synergistic effect of the heating and plasma sheath’s electric field lead to the nonequilibrium melting of the alloy, resulting continuous ejection of the melted segments to form nanowires and let the unmelted residual parts evolve into a porous structure. This method is applicable to alloys with large melting point differences of their constituent elements, and provides a promising approach to fabricate porous metals and metallic nanowires for a wide range of functional applications.展开更多

PFM is simplified as an equivalent idealized sheet with all metallic fibers aligned in one direction and distributed in periodic hexagonal patterns. We use a phenomenological model in the literature to investigate the effects of pore geometrical parameters (fiber diameter and gap) on sound absorption performance. The sound absorption coefficient of multi- layered PFMs is calculated using impedance translation theorem, To demonstrate the validity of the present model, we compare the predicted results with the experimental data. With the average sound absorption (low frequency range) as the objective function and the fiber gaps as the design variables, an optimization method for multi-layered fibrous metals is proposed. A new fibrous layout with given porosity of multi-layered fibrous metals is suggested to achieve optimal low frequency sound absorption. The sound absorption coefficient of the optimal multi-layered fibrous metal is higher than the single- layered fibrous metal, and a significant effect of the fibrous material on sound absorption is found due to the surface Dorosity of the multi-layered fibrous.展开更多

In this study, micro-porous Ti6Al4V alloy (Ti64) parts were produced by the PSH-PIM process. Ti64 alloy powder and spherical polymethylrnethacrylate (PMMA) particles were used as a space holder material. After molding, binder debinding was performed by thermal method under inert gas. Debinded samples were sintered at 1250℃ for 60min in a vacuum (10-4 Pa). Metallographic studies were conducted to determine densification and the corresponding microstructural changes. The surface of sintered samples was examined by SEM. The compressive stress and elastic modulus of the rificro-porous Ti64 samples were determined. The effects of fraction of PMMA on the properties of sintered micro-porous Ti64 alloy samples were investigated. It was shown that the fraction of PMMA could be controlled to affect the properties of the Ti alloy.展开更多

This method utilizes the su- perplastic forming ability of amorphous powder in the supercooled liquid (SCL) state and intenerating salt mixture as a placeholder to produce BMG foam by using a hot die pressing method. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and dif- ferential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were employed to characterize the morphologies of foaming structure, the crystallization and the percentage of crystallization of the as-produced porous BMG. The results suggested that the formation of porous structure by su- perplastic forming process is feasible. Good bonding effect was observed between amorphous powder particles. Less than 6.5% of crystalline phases were formed during hot pressing, and less than 5.5% of residual salt was enclosed in the foam. To remove any re- sidual salt particles, salt preforms with three-dimensional network and good connectivity is necessary.展开更多

In this paper the effect of withdrawal rate on the solid/liquid interface morphology and the corresponding porous structure was systematically investigated, especially the pore morphology, pore growth direction, porosity, and pore diameter of porous copper ingots. In addition, a temperature fi eld simulation was carried out based on Pro Cast software to investigate the shape and movement velocity of the solidifying solid/liquid interface. The experimental results show that the solidifi cation interface changes from convex to planar, then to concave shape with an increase in withdrawal rate. The average porosities of copper ingots are constant and independent of the withdrawal rate. The average pore diameter decreases with an increase in withdrawal rate.展开更多

PFM is simplified as an equivalent idealized sheet with all metallic fibers aligned in one direction and distributed in periodic hexagonal patterns. We use a phenomenological model in the literature to investigate the effects of pore geometrical parameters (fiber diameter and gap) on sound absorption performance. The sound absorption coefficient of multi- layered PFMs is calculated using impedance translation theorem, To demonstrate the validity of the present model, we compare the predicted results with the experimental data. With the average sound absorption (low frequency range) as the objective function and the fiber gaps as the design variables, an optimization method for multi-layered fibrous metals is proposed. A new fibrous layout with given porosity of multi-layered fibrous metals is suggested to achieve optimal low frequency sound absorption. The sound absorption coefficient of the optimal multi-layered fibrous metal is higher than the single- layered fibrous metal, and a significant effect of the fibrous material on sound absorption is found due to the surface Dorosity of the multi-layered fibrous.

文摘A synthesis method for the production of porous bulk metallic glass (BMG) was introduced. This method utilizes the su- perplastic forming ability of amorphous powder in the supercooled liquid (SCL) state and intenerating salt mixture as a placeholder to produce BMG foam by using a hot die pressing method. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and dif- ferential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were employed to characterize the morphologies of foaming structure, the crystallization and the percentage of crystallization of the as-produced porous BMG. The results suggested that the formation of porous structure by su- perplastic forming process is feasible. Good bonding effect was observed between amorphous powder particles. Less than 6.5% of crystalline phases were formed during hot pressing, and less than 5.5% of residual salt was enclosed in the foam. To remove any re- sidual salt particles, salt preforms with three-dimensional network and good connectivity is necessary.

文摘Spherical carbamide particles were employed to produce porous Fe–Cr–C alloy with high porosity and large aperture via the space-holder leaching technique. A series of porous samples were prepared by regulating the processing parameters, which included the carbamide content and the compaction pressure. The pore characteristics and compression properties of the produced samples were investigated. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, image analysis, and compression tests. The results showed that the macro-porosity and the mean pore size were in the ranges 40.4%–82.4% and 0.6–1.5 mm, respectively. The compressive strength varied between 25.38 MPa and 127.9 MPa, and was observed to decrease with increasing total porosity.

文摘Directionally solidified porous copper is considered as a potential candidate in the field of microchannel heat sinks.By the Bridgman-type directional solidification method,a porous copper ingot was fabricated.Evolution of the porosity,pore number density,average pore diameter and average interpore spacing at different ingot heights was investigated.The results show that with the increase of ingot height,the porosity firstly increases and then basically remains unchanged from the ignot height of 65 mm;the pore number density rapidly decreases at first,and the decreasing speed becomes slower when the ignot height higher than 85 mm;the average pore diameter increases and then remains unchanged from the ingot height of 85 mm;the average interpore spacing increases,and the increasing speed of average interpore spacing becomes slower with the increase of height to higher than 85 mm.In order to study the evolution of diameter and spatial distribution of pores,the distribution ranges of pore diameter,nearest-neighbor distance and radial cumulative pore number were analyzed.As the ingot height increases,the distribution ranges of pore diameter and nearest-neighbor distance firstly increase and then tend to be stable.There are no pore clusters and for long distance,the spatial distribution of pores is uniform at different ingot heights.Pore structure and 3D pore morphology of porous copper were observed with the help of light illumination and X-ray tomography.Pore nucleation,pore interruption,pore coalescence,diameter change of pores and lateral displacement of pores were found to exist in the pore structure.

文摘A single-mold Gasar technique was developed to produce lotus-type porous micro-channel copper with uniform porous structure. In this paper the effect of withdrawal rate on the solid/liquid interface morphology and the corresponding porous structure was systematically investigated, especially the pore morphology, pore growth direction, porosity, and pore diameter of porous copper ingots. In addition, a temperature fi eld simulation was carried out based on Pro Cast software to investigate the shape and movement velocity of the solidifying solid/liquid interface. The experimental results show that the solidifi cation interface changes from convex to planar, then to concave shape with an increase in withdrawal rate. The average porosities of copper ingots are constant and independent of the withdrawal rate. The average pore diameter decreases with an increase in withdrawal rate.

文摘The effect of the pore density of porous copper(Cu)on brazed Cu/porous Cu was investigated.A filler with a composition of Cu⁃9.0Sn⁃7.0Ni⁃6.0P(Sn:Tin;Ni:Nickel;P:Phosphorus)and porous Cu with pore densities of 15 pores per inch(PPI),25 PPI,and 50 PPI were employed.The joint strength of Cu/porous Cu was evaluated with shear tests at different brazing temperatures.Characterizations of the joint interface and fractured surface were achieved with scanning electron microscope(SEM),energy dispersive X⁃ray spectroscopy(EDX),and X⁃ray diffraction(XRD).The micro⁃hardness test of Cu/porous Cu joint interface showed a high hardness value(HV)for 50 PPI porous Cu.This result was in line with its low shear strength.It was proved that the joint strength of Cu/porous Cu is dependent on the pore density of the porous Cu structure and brittle phases of Cu_(3)P and Ni_(3)P in the brazed interface.
文摘An open-cell porous bulk metallic glass (BMG) with a diameter of at least 6 mm was fabricated by using an U-turn quartz tube and infiltration casting around soluble NaCI placeholders. The pore formation and glassy structure were examined by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that the pores or cells are connected to each other and the specimen is composed of a mostly glassy phase. This paper provides a suitable method for fabrication of porous BMG and BMG with larger size in diameter.

文摘Magnesia-chrome porous purging plugs are crucial functional components to remove inclusions and stabilize the flow field during iron and steel smelting.However,practical applications of magnesia-chrome porous purging materials are stil hampered by the poor scouring resistance to molten steel and unstable air permeability owing to their low mechanical properties and uncontrollable pore structure.Therefore,the particle-packing type magnesiachrome porous purging materials reinforced by in situ formed spinel were prepared using fused magnesia-chrome particles and Al powders as major raw materials.The results show that in situ formed spinel solid solutions in bonding phase led to the decreased median pore size and increased pore surface fractal dimension from the reactions between Al powders and magnesia-chrome particles and along with high-temperature sintering,bonding between magnesia-chrome particles and the resultant mechanical properties of materials were greatly elevated.Besides,the results of air permeability tests and polynomial ftting indicated that the formation of spinel solid solutions was the main contributing factor for controllable air permeability,and pressure drop of porous purging materials was positively correlated with surface fractal dimension of pores.Moreover,the as-prepared porous purging materials added with 6 wt.%Al powders obtained the maximum cold crushing strength(54.2 MPa)and hot modulus of rupture(12.9 MPa)with median pore size of 24.06μm and ftting non-Darcian permeability coefficient of 0.97×10^(-6)m.
