Microstructure was observed to reveal the mechanism of hydrogen-enhanced compressive properties. The experimental results indicate that hydrogen has favorable effects on the compressive properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy at high strain rate. Compression of Ti-6Al-4V alloy first increases up to a maximum and then decreases with the increase of hydrogen content at the same discharge energy under EMF tests. The compression increases by 47.0% when 0.2% (mass fraction) hydrogen is introduced into Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The optimal hydrogen content for cold formation of Ti–6Al–4V alloy under EMF was determined. The reasons for the hydrogen-induced compressive properties were discussed.展开更多

The effects of hydrogen content on microstructure evolution of Ti-6Al-4V alloy is also examined by optical microscopy,X-ray diffractometry,transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy.The results show that hydrogen content and stress state have important effects on the room-temperature mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy.Tensile strength and ultimate elongation decrease with increasing the hydrogen content,while compressive strength and ultimate reduction are improved after hydrogenation.The reason is that the intergranular deformation dominates at the state of tension.Hydrogen atoms in solid solution and hydrides at grain boundaries increase with increasing the hydrogen content and they can promote the initiation and propagation of cracks along grain boundaries.While the intragranular deformation dominates at the state of compression.The plastic beta phase and hydrides increase with increasing the hydrogen content and they improve the ultimate reduction and compressive strength.展开更多

The effect of phosphorus addition on hydrogen content in the melt was also studied. It was observed that the phosphorus addition made hydrogen content in alloy melts present a “see-saw' tendency.In addition to primary silicon refinement,the phosphorus promoted gas porosity formed not only in slowly cooled sections, but also in rapidly cooled sections. There was a small difference in density of full dense sample between P-refined and unrefined castings, with a larger density associated with phosphorous addition. The change of the surface tension seemed more reasonable to explain the mechanism of porosity behavior.展开更多

Four types of A350LF2 steels were evaluated by immersing samples in H2S-saturated NACE solution. The hydrogen blistering, crack length rate(CLR), crack thickness rate(CTR) and crack sensitivity rate(CSR) were evaluated. The results show that there are many hydrogen blisters on the sample surface with S content of 0.021%, a few on the sample surface with S content of 0.019% and 0.012% and no one on the surface with S content of 0.002%. There were 12, 2 and 1 strips of cracks of longer than 0.3 mm on the evaluated cross sections with S content of 0.021%, 0.019% and 0.012%, respectively. There was no any crack in the sample with 0.002% S. The corrosion rate was also evaluated. The S content has no obvious influence on the corrosion rate.展开更多

The titanium hydride was prepared through the reaction between electrolyzed titanium and hydrogen at different hydrogenation temperatures and different time. The evolutions of hydrogen and oxygen contents, density, hardness and phase composition before and after hydrogenation were characterized under different hydrogenation conditions. The results show that the main phases of titanium hydride were TiHl.924, TiH1.971 and TiH2. Increasing the hydrogenation temperature could not enhance the hydrogen content but increase the oxygen content. The effect of the hydrogenation time on the hydrogen content was not obvious. The optimal parameters of the hydrogenation process were obtained: beating at 400℃ and holding for 2 h, by which the hydrogen content of 3.63% and oxygen content of 0.18% (mass fraction) can be obtained. In addition, the microstructure, orientations and tissues of electrolyzed titanium and titanium hydride were detected.展开更多

In this paper, a nonthermal plasma processing system was established by means of dielectric barrier discharge(DBD)arrays in water mist spray. The relationship between droplet size and water content was examined,and the effects of the concentrations of oxides in both treated water and gas were investigated under different water content and discharge time. The relative intensity of UV spectra from DBD in water mist was a function of water content. The concentrations of both O_3 and nitrogen dioxide(NO_2) in DBD room decreased with increasing water content. Moreover, the concentrations of H_2O_2, O_3 and nitrogen oxides(NOx) in treated water decreased with increasing water content,and all the ones enhanced after discharge. The experimental results were further analyzed by chemical reaction equations and commented by physical principles as much as possible. At last,the water containing phenol was tested in this system for the concentration from 100 mg/L to9.8 mg/L in a period of 35 min.展开更多

The results show that the surface cladding layer can effectively reducethe hydrogen content increasing of the stainless steel under the atmosphere of high pres-sure (30MPa), high temperature (300℃) and high purity (99. 995%) hydrogen andgreatly improve the hydrogen embrittlement resistance of the stain1ess steel. Throughanalysis of microstructure, a mechanism of hydrogen embrittlement resistance is presentedthat at room temperature, the surface oxidation films, both existing on the surface ofcoated and uncoated specimens, inhibit the adsorption and diffusion of hydrogen molecu-lae. However, at high temperature, it is the surface cladding layer with relatively low sol-ubility and Permeability for hydrogen that significantly reduces the amount of hydrogenentering into the interior of the material and improves its hydrogen embrittfement resis-tance.展开更多

It is indicated that this method of subtraction of hydrogen background is reasonable and can be used in the data analysis. Based on the elastic scattering cross section of the previous experiment of12C+p at 95.3A MeV, the hydrogen content entered into the reaction is analyzed. The final hydrogen content in the natural carbon target is(2.73 ± 0.12)%.展开更多
The equations of hydrogen solubility in pure magnesium and its alloy were deduced based on thermodynamic analysis: for pure magnesium, lgc(H)=0.51g p(H3)-1 332/T+0.568; for AZ91 alloy, lgc(H)=0.51g p(H2)-1 332/T+0.483...The equations of hydrogen solubility in pure magnesium and its alloy were deduced based on thermodynamic analysis: for pure magnesium, lgc(H)=0.51g p(H3)-1 332/T+0.568; for AZ91 alloy, lgc(H)=0.51g p(H2)-1 332/T+0.483. Based on the above equations, a rapid and reliable measurement system for hydrogen content in magnesium melt was set up with CPU controller and electric circuit. With this instrument, measurement experiments were carried out to determine hydrogen content in AZ91 melt. The results show that the actual hydrogen level of AZ91 melt under gas protection varies from 0.06 mL/g to 0.14 mL/g at the temperature range from 650℃to 750℃, and hydrogen content lineally increases with the increase of temperature.展开更多

However, the understanding of the relative importance of environmental and biological factors in determining δDwax values still remains incomplete. To identify the effects of soil moisture and plant physiology on δDwax values in an arid ecosystem, and to explore the implication of these values for paleoclimatic reconstruction, we measured δD values of soil water(δDwater) and δDwax values in surface soils along two distance transects extending from the lakeshore to wetland to dryland around Lake Qinghai and Lake Gahai on the northeast Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. The results showed that the δDwater values were negatively correlated with soil water content(SWC)(R^2=0.9166), and ranged from –67‰ to –46‰ with changes in SWC from 6.2% to 42.1% in the arid areas of the Gangcha(GCh) and Gahai(GH) transects. This indicated that evaporative D-enrichment in soil water was sensitive to soil moisture in an arid ecosystem. Although the shift from grasses to shrubs with increasing aridity occurred in the arid area of the GH transect, the δDwax values in surface soils from the arid areas of the two transects still showed a negative correlation with SWC(R^2=0.6835), which may be due to the controls of primary evaporative D-enrichment in the soil water and additional transpirational D-enrichment in the leaf water on the δDwaxvalues. Our preliminary research suggested that δDwax values can potentially be applied as a paleo-humidity indicator on the northeast Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.展开更多

The results show that the incubation period is shortened and the rate of hydrogen absorbed is accelerated with rising temperature and surface area. These are attributed to the rising rate of hydrogen diffusion at higher temperature. The change of the incubation period and the rate of hydrogen absorbed have the similar trend resulted from the increasing content of the Nd-rich phase owing to the rising temperature. Moreover, the percent of the Nd-rich phase in the ingot can be calculated according to the total hydrogen weight gain.展开更多

The number of hydrogen bonds was highly correlated with the optimal growth temperature (OGT) rather than with the G + C content. Paired and unpaired nucleotides in mesophiles were compared to those in thermophiles. OGT exhibited a relationship with paired nucleotides but not with unpaired nucleotides. The total number of paired as well as unpaired nucleotides in mesophiles was very similar to that in thermophiles. However, the components in base pairs in mesophiles significantly differed from those in thermophiles. As compared with mesophiles, the number of G·C base pairs in thermophiles was high whereas that of A·U base pairs was low. In this study, we showed that hydrogen bonds are important for stabilizing 16S rRNAs at high temperatures.展开更多

文摘By making castings that pick up gas from moisture in red sand molds,the porosity generated at different cooling rates was discussed during solidification of hypereutectic Al-25%Si alloy without and with phosphorus additions. The effect of phosphorus addition on hydrogen content in the melt was also studied. It was observed that the phosphorus addition made hydrogen content in alloy melts present a “see-saw' tendency.In addition to primary silicon refinement,the phosphorus promoted gas porosity formed not only in slowly cooled sections, but also in rapidly cooled sections. There was a small difference in density of full dense sample between P-refined and unrefined castings, with a larger density associated with phosphorous addition. The change of the surface tension seemed more reasonable to explain the mechanism of porosity behavior.
