Compared with previous assessments, the main focus was put on the thermodynamic description of the two intermetallic compounds Fe2Ti and FeTi. The C14_Laves phase Fe2Ti was described by the two-sublattice model, which is widely used at present. By checking the homogeneity range on the boundary of the ternary systems involving the binary, the phase boundary of this compound was further confirmed. The FeTi phase with a BCC_B2 crystal structure was treated as the ordered phase of the BCC_A2 phase and a unified Gibbs energy function was used to describe both the ordered and disordered phases. Reproduction of the specific heat capacities of these compounds was another aspect paid particular attention to. Comprehensive comparisons of the calculated and experimental results regarding the phase diagram and thermodynamic properties show a good agreement between them and prove the validity of the present thermodynamic description.展开更多

The value of ATx reaches a maximum of 66 K for the BMG CusoZraTTi8In5 alloy. The reasons for enhancing glass forming ability of Cu-based BMGs with the addition of indium were discussed from atomic size and thermodynamics. Alternatively, the BMG Cu52Zra7Ti8In3 exhibits the highest compressive strength （1981 MPa） and the best plasticity among glassy Cu55-xZra7TisInx （x_〈5）. The total plastic deformation of Cu52Zr37TisIn3 before fracture approaches 1.2%.展开更多

The results show that the aged alloys with Cr3Ni2 phase always exhibit higher tensile strength and hardness than those of solution-treated alloy without Cr3Ni2 phase, and the aging peak temperature presents at 375 ℃. It is also found that the internal friction peak （tan 6） value decreases with increasing the frequency. There are two internal friction peaks corresponding to the B2（austenite）→R and R→M（martensite） transformations upon cooling, but only one corresponding to the reverse M→B2 transformation upon heating in both solution-treated and 375 ℃-aged alloys, due to the superposition of Mand R phase transformation. Besides, the position of internal friction peaks in the alloy after aging at 375 ℃ shifts to higher temperature. This is attributed to the decrease of Cr and Ni content, and the decline of lattice deformation and transformation resistance, all of which are related to the precipitation of Cr3Ni2 phase in the solution-aged alloys.展开更多

The structure and thermal characteristics were analyzed by XRD and DSC, and the fracture surface morphology was examined by SEM. The glassy alloy with 4 mm in diameter shows an high fracture strength of 1 960 MPa, with an improvement of about 20% compared to the ultimate compression fracture strength of the Cu46Zr46A18 BMG, which suggests that the Ti addition improves the compression fracture strength. The different degrees of the adiabatic heating induce four types of fracture features： a vein-like structure, an elongated and striated vein pattern, melting and smooth regions. The elongated and striated vein patterns as well as the melting region show that enormous strain energy is released, which causes significant adiabatic heating. Furthernaore, many micro-cracks observed in the smooth region are caused by the strong shear force. In addition, the strong shear force leads to many shear bands as well as the melting in the lateral surface.展开更多

Here we fabricated a new polymer-supported nanocomposite （HMO-001） for efficient TI（I） removal by encapsulating nanosized hydrous manganese dioxide （HMO） within a polystyrene cation exchanger （D-001）. The resultant HMO-001 exhibited more preferable removal of TI（I） than D-001 and IRC-748, an iminodiacetic chelating polymer, particularly in the presence of competing Ca（II） ions at greater levels in solution. Such preference was ascribed to the Donnan membrane effect caused by D-001 as well as the specific interaction between TI（I） and HMO. The adsorbed TI（I） was partially oxidized into insoluble TI（III） by HMO at acidic pH, while negligible oxidation was observed at circumneutral pH. The exhausted HMO-001 was amenable to efficient regeneration by binary NaOH-NaC10 solution for at least 10-cycle batch runs without any significant capacity loss. Fixed-bed column test of Tl（I）-contained indus- trial effluent and natural water further validated that TI（I） retention on HMO-001 resulted in a conspicuous concentration drop from 1.3 mg/L to a value lower than 0.14 mg/L （maximum concentration level for industrial effluent regulated by US EPA） and from 1-4 μg/L to a value lower than 0.1 μg/L （drinking water standard regulated by China Health Ministry）, respectively.展开更多

文摘TI（I） in water even at a trace level is fatal to human beings and the ecosystem. Here we fabricated a new polymer-supported nanocomposite （HMO-001） for efficient TI（I） removal by encapsulating nanosized hydrous manganese dioxide （HMO） within a polystyrene cation exchanger （D-001）. The resultant HMO-001 exhibited more preferable removal of TI（I） than D-001 and IRC-748, an iminodiacetic chelating polymer, particularly in the presence of competing Ca（II） ions at greater levels in solution.
