The results indicate that following an increase in the quenching ,the degree of alloying is enhanced due to the carbides dissolving gradually in austenite, which improves the hardenability of the specimens, as well as their room and high-temperature strength. At the same time, the fracture toughness increases due to the increment of the martensite number and the interparticle distance of impact toughness. Optimal performance Consequently,the service life of the H13 the carbides. However, extremely coarse grain and martensite can decrease the can be obtained after quenching at 1 060℃ and double tempering at 620℃mandrel steel is extended significantly.展开更多

Systematic analyses indicate that the microstructure of the specimens quenched and partitioned at 150℃ ,200 ℃ ,250℃ ,and 300℃ mainly comprises lath martensite and retained austenite. The dilatometry curve of the specimen partitioned at 150℃ is presumably ascribed to the formation of isothermal martensite. In the early stages of partitioning at 200℃,the nearly unchanged dilatation curve is closely related to the synergistic effect of isothermal martensite formation and transitional epsilon carbide precipitation. In the later stages of partitioning at 200 ℃ ,the slight increase in the dilatation curve is due to the continuous isothermal martensite formation. With further increase in partitioning temperature to 250℃, the dilatation increases gradually up to 3600 s, which is related to carbon partitioning and lower bainite formation. Partitioning at a higher temperature of 300 ℃ causes a rapid increase in the dilatation curve during the initial stages, which subsequently levels off upon prolonging the partitioning time. This is mainly attributed to the rapid diffusion of carbon from athermal martensite to retained austenite and continuous formation of lower bainite.展开更多

It was found that, below the glass transition temperature, the activation energy decreased with increasing quenching temperature, but in the surpercooled liquid region the activation energy tended to be enhanced with a further increase in the quenching temperature. Besides, there were both anelastic and viscoelastic relaxation for the amorphous alloys. The anelastic behaviour would change into viscoelastic relaxation easily for the samples prepared at higher temperature.展开更多

And NaIO4 could oxidize R to cause the RTP quenching. Arsenic(V) could catalyze the reaction of NaIO4 oxidizing R, which caused the RTP sharply quenching. The reducing value of phosphorescence intensity (ΔIp) for the system with DBS is 3.3 times higher than that without DBS. Moreover, the ΔIp is proportional to the concentration of As(V). Based on the facts above, a new RTP quenching method for the determination of trace As(V) has been established.展开更多

SME of the alloy was weakening gradually as carbon content increased under small strain (3%). But in the condition of large strain (more than 6%), SME of the alloy whose carbon content range from 0.1% to 0.12% showed small decreasing range, especially of alloy with the addition of compound RE. Results were also indicated that SME was improved by increasing quenching temperature (>1000℃). The amount of thermal induced martensite increased and the relative shape recovery ratio could be increased to more than 40% after 3-4 times thermal training. The relative shape recovery ratio decreased evidently depending on rising of pre-strain. Furthermore, because speed of martensite transition was extremely great under higher tempering temperature (more than 450℃, ε → γ transition completed in 10s meanwhile the relative shape recovery ratio of the alloy increased rapidly.展开更多

However, the serious concentration quenching in highly doped UCNPs remains a vital restriction for further enhanced upconversion luminescence (UCL). Herein, we examined the effect of temperature on the concentration quenching of rare-earth UCNPs, an issue that has been overlooked, and we show that it is significant for biomedical or optical applications of UCNPs. In this work, we prepared a series of UCNPs by doping Er3. luminescent centers at different concentrations in a NaLuF4:Yb3+ matrix. At room temperature (298 K), steady-state photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy showed substantial concentration quenching of the Er~ emission with increasing doping concentrations. However, the concentration quenching effect was no longer effective at lower temperatures. Kinetic curves obtained from time-resolved PL spectroscopy further showed that the concen- tration quenching dynamics were vitally altered in the cryogenic temperature region, i.e., below 160 K. Our work on the temperature-switchable concentration quenching mechanism may shed light on improving UCL properties, promoting their practical applications.展开更多

It was found that the ultimate tensile strength of the steel decreased with the increasing temperature from 25 to 100 ℃, reached the maximum value at 300 ℃, and then declined by a significant extent when the temperature further reached 400 ℃. The total elongations at 100, 200 and 300 ℃are at about the same level. The steel achieved optimal mechanical properties at 300 ℃due to the proper transformation behavior of retained austenite since the stability of retained austenite is largely dependent on the deforming temperature. When tested at 100 and 200 ℃, the retained aus tenite was reluctant to transform, while at the other temperatures, about 10 vol. % of retained aus- tenite transformed during the tensile tests. The relationship between the stability of retained austenite and the work hardening behavior of quenching and partitioning treated steels at different deforming temperatures was also studied and discussed in detail. In order to obtain excellent mechanical properties, the stability of retained austenite should be carefully controlled so that the effect of transforma tion-induced plasticity could take place continuously during plastic deformation.展开更多

The temperature sensitive paint(TSP) was compounded by the polymerization of the probe molecule, methyl methacrylate(MMA) and the initiator of benzoyl peroxide(BPO).The structure, morphology, luminescence property of probe molecule and the temperature quenching property of the temperature sensitive paint(TSP) were characterized by infrared spectrometer, UV-vis spectrometer, scanning electron microscopy and fluorescence spectrometer respectively. The infrared spectrum and UV-vis spectra show that Eu and DBM form six membered rings, and Eu-O coordinate bonds form. The nanocrystals are in sphere-like morphology with an average size of approximately100 nm. Fluorescence spectra present that the performance of temperature quenching is excellent,what’s more, TSP sample has different temperature sensitivity in various temperature scope. Particularly,under excitation of 286 nm, TSP has a highest temperature sensitivity between 50 and 60 ℃, and the strongest fluorescence emission reaches a peak(615 nm). It indicated that probe molecule(Eu(DBM)phen) has strong luminescent intensity and the temperature quenching properties of Eu(DBM)phen/PMMA is good.展开更多

According to the practical online experiment of plate center temperature, average heat transfer coefficient under different conditions and temperature fields are analyzed by numerical simulation. The results show that, at the water temperature of 15 ℃, the instantaneous maximum quenching cooling rate is 17.6 ℃/s for the plate of 50 mm in thickness in roller quenching process. In the temperature range of 400-850 ℃, the maximum is 12.1 ℃/s. With the plate surface temperature decreasing, surface heat transfer coefficient increases at first, and reaches the maximum value of about 15 000 W/(m^2·K), and then decreases. The calculated heat transfer coefficients are applied to analyze plate temperature field of different thicknesses, and the difference between the calculated and measured temperature is less than 5%.展开更多

Systematic analyses indicate that the microstructure of the specimens quenched and partitioned at 150℃ ,200 ℃ ,250℃ ,and 300℃ mainly comprises lath martensite and retained austenite. The dilatometry curve of the specimen partitioned at 150℃ is presumably ascribed to the formation of isothermal martensite. In the early stages of partitioning at 200℃,the nearly unchanged dilatation curve is closely related to the synergistic effect of isothermal martensite formation and transitional epsilon carbide precipitation. In the later stages of partitioning at 200 ℃ ,the slight increase in the dilatation curve is due to the continuous isothermal martensite formation. With further increase in partitioning temperature to 250℃, the dilatation increases gradually up to 3600 s, which is related to carbon partitioning and lower bainite formation. Partitioning at a higher temperature of 300 ℃ causes a rapid increase in the dilatation curve during the initial stages, which subsequently levels off upon prolonging the partitioning time. This is mainly attributed to the rapid diffusion of carbon from athermal martensite to retained austenite and continuous formation of lower bainite.

文摘The correlation between the internal friction behaviour of Zr55 Al10 Ni5 Cu30 BMG samples and their quenching temperatures was investigated. It was found that, below the glass transition temperature, the activation energy decreased with increasing quenching temperature, but in the surpercooled liquid region the activation energy tended to be enhanced with a further increase in the quenching temperature. Besides, there were both anelastic and viscoelastic relaxation for the amorphous alloys. The anelastic behaviour would change into viscoelastic relaxation easily for the samples prepared at higher temperature.

Fluorescence spectra present that the performance of temperature quenching is excellent,what’s more, TSP sample has different temperature sensitivity in various temperature scope. Particularly,under excitation of 286 nm, TSP has a highest temperature sensitivity between 50 and 60 ℃, and the strongest fluorescence emission reaches a peak(615 nm). It indicated that probe molecule(Eu(DBM)phen) has strong luminescent intensity and the temperature quenching properties of Eu(DBM)phen/PMMA is good.

文摘For plate quenching on a roller quenching machine, heat transfer process is investigated. According to the practical online experiment of plate center temperature, average heat transfer coefficient under different conditions and temperature fields are analyzed by numerical simulation. The results show that, at the water temperature of 15 ℃, the instantaneous maximum quenching cooling rate is 17.6 ℃/s for the plate of 50 mm in thickness in roller quenching process. In the temperature range of 400-850 ℃, the maximum is 12.1 ℃/s. With the plate surface temperature decreasing, surface heat transfer coefficient increases at first, and reaches the maximum value of about 15 000 W/(m^2·K), and then decreases. The calculated heat transfer coefficients are applied to analyze plate temperature field of different thicknesses, and the difference between the calculated and measured temperature is less than 5%.
文摘The effect of quenching temperature and cooling conditions on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a 0.2%Nb medium chromium wear-resistant cast steel was investigated.The microstructure,carbides and volume fraction of retained austenite were characterized using the optical microscope,scanning electron microscope,transmission electron microscope and X-ray diffraction.The influence of heat treatment on hardness,impact toughness and tensile properties of test steel was studied.It can be observed that lath martensite can be obtained under the condition of air cooling and oil cooling upon austenitizing in the range of 900–1020℃.Total carbide content of 0.2–1.1 wt.%under air cooling is more than that under oil cooling due to the lower cooling rate.Nb6C5,M23C6 and M7C3 were found at lower austenitizing temperature,of which niobium carbide mostly located at grain boundaries,while chromium carbides were uniformly distributed in the matrix with the size of 20–50 nm.The chromium carbides are basically dissolved into the matrix in test steel austenitized at 1020°C.Meanwhile,the negligible growth of prior austenite grain size is achieved.Specimen austenitized at 1020℃ and cooled in air+tempered at 200℃ has a best combination of hardness,plasticity and tensile strength due to fine grain size and more amount of retained austenite.Under this condition,the hardness is 58 HRC,the impact toughness is 22.92 J/cm^(2),and the tensile strength is 1136.9 MPa.
