CNT的表面改性对Cu基复合材料力学和电学性能的影响

提高碳纳米管(carbon nanotube,CNT)在Cu基体中的分散性以及两者的界面结合,可以有效改善碳纳米管增强Cu基(CNT/Cu)复合材料的性能。本文采用一步水热法在CNT表面原位生成碳化聚合物点(carbonized polymer dot,CPD),对CNT进行表面改性处理,再通过烧结法制备CNT@CPD/Cu复合材料,对复合材料的力学和电学性能进行测试。结果表明:经酸化处理的CNT1表面改性处理后,其结构破坏严重,增强效果减弱。未经酸化处理的CNT2表面改性处理后,CPD负载于CNT2上,不仅保留了CNT的结构完整性,还能显著改善其在基体中的分散性,增强与Cu的结合。此外,CPD和CNT的加入可有效细化Cu晶体,抑制位错运动;CPD和CNT与Cu基体间的“铆钉”界面结合,不仅能降低电子散射效应,还能为电子转移提供额外的通道,从而提升复合材料的电学性能。CNT2@CPD/Cu复合材料的极限抗拉强度相较纯Cu提高了28.9%,电导率为95.9%IACS。该研究结果为开发新型高强高导Cu基复合材料提供了新思路。

Effect of Ag on High-Temperature Oxidation Behavior of Mg-6.5Gd-5.6Y-0.1Nd-0.01Ce-0.4Zr Alloy

In this paper,the isothermal oxidation experiments were used to study the effect of Ag on the high-temperature oxidation behavior of Mg-6.5Gd-5.6Y-0.1Nd-0.01Ce-0.4Zr(wt%)alloy oxidized at 350℃,400℃ and 450℃ for 120 h.The results show that the oxidation weight gain of the alloy mainly occurs in the early oxidation stage(0-20 h).This reason attributes to the lack of protective oxide film and the rapid inward diffusion of oxygen through the macroscopic defects of the incomplete oxide film.When dense oxide films such as Y_(2)O_(3),Gd_(2)O_(3),and ZrO2 form,they hinder the inward transport of oxygen ions and improve the high-temperature oxidation resistance of the alloy.In addition,the role of the Ag element at three temperatures is different.The addition of Ag mainly promotes the formation of eutectic phases such as Mg3Gd,Mg24Y5,and Ag2Gd,which reduces the content of Gd and Y elements in the alloy matrix,resulting in a decrease in the diffusion rate of Gd and Y elements during the oxidation process at 350℃ and 400℃,and weakens the oxidation resistance of Ag-containing alloys.However,in the oxidation experiment at 450℃,a large amount of eutectic phase is solid dissolved into the matrix,reducing the difference in element content.At this time,it is detected that the Ag element promoted the outward diffusion of Gd and Y elements,accelerating the formation of the oxide film.The oxidation resistance of Ag-containing alloys is improved.

Deformation behavior of a TiZr-based metallic glass composite containing dendrites in the supercooled liquid region

The deformation behavior of a TiZr-based bulk metallic glass composite(BMGC)was characterized in the supercooled liquid region(SLR)from 623 K to 693 K.It was observed that the alloy exhibits the deformation behavior from work softening at low temperatures to work hardening at high temperatures.The yield stress and overshoot stress decrease remarkably with the increase of temperature,accompanied by superplasticity.The results showed that the crystallization occurred in the amorphous matrix for the post-deformation samples and the volume fraction of the corresponding crystallization products increased with increasing testing temperature.It is implied that the work hardening behavior was closely associated with the crystallization of the amorphous matrix.The tensile stress can accelerate the crystallization of amorphous matrix and the martensitic transformation of dendrite phases,which implies that the thermal stability of the alloy decreases under tension.These findings shed light on designing new BMGCs with high mechanical performance as well as the good SLR formability.

Fe-based metallic glass:An efficient and energy-saving electrode material for electrocatalytic degradation of water contaminants

Excessive consumption of electrical energy has hampered the widespread application of electrochemical technology for degradation of various contaminants. In this paper, a Fe-based metallic glass(MG) was demonstrated as a new type of electrocatalyst to effectively and economically degrade an azo dye. In comparison to other typical electrodes, Fe-based MG electrodes exhibit a minimized degradation time, and the specific energy is 4-6 orders of magnitude lower than that of dimensionally stable anode(DSA), metal-like boron-doped diamond(BDD) and other electrodes. As sacrificial electrode materials, Fe-based MGs have less specific electrode mass consumption than iron electrodes. The use of Fe-based MGs will promote the practical application of electrochemical technology and the use of MGs as functional materials.

Fabrication and Characterization of Ca-Mg-P Containing Coating on Pure Magnesium

A biodegradable Ca-P coating mainly consisting of β-tricalcium phosphate （β-TCP） was fabricated on pure magnesium via the chemical deposition in a simulated Hank’s solution. The method significantly accelerated the coating formation on magnesium. Moreover, the morphology, phase/chemical composition, the coating formation mechanism as well as degradation behavior in phosphate buffered saline （PBS） solution were in- vestigated. Scanning electron microscopy （SEM） images showed that the coating had three layers and X-ray diffraction （XRD） patterns showed that the coating mainly contained Ca3（PO4）2 and （Ca,Mg）3（PO4）2. Elec- trochemical test showed that the corrosion current density （Icorr） of the coated Mg was decreased by about one order of magnitude as compared to that of pure magnesium. The immersion test indicated that the coating could obviously reduce the degradation rate.

Corrosion mechanisms of Zr-based bulk metallic glass in NaF and NaCl solutions

So far,some investigations related to the corrosion mechanism of Zr-based metallic glasses in solutions containing Cl-have been developed.However,few attentions have been paid to the situation in F--containing solution.This paper describes the corrosion behaviours of Zr52Al10Ni6Cu32 bulk metallic glass(BMG)in Na F and Na Cl aqueous solutions.The corrosion mechanism of Zr-based BMG in F–containing solution was proposed for the first time.It was found that in Na Cl solutions,Zr-based BMG samples underwent typical pitting corrosion.Selective dissolution of Zr,Al and enrichment of Cu were observed in corrosion pits.However,corrosion occurred in the form of general breakdown of passive film in Na F solutions.Such difference is interpreted in terms of the binding ability of anions to surrounding molecules,i.e.,Cl-with loose surrounding water passes through the passive film to cause pitting;F-with a tight surrounding molecules layer absorbs on passive film then coordinates with cations from matrix.

Deformation behavior of Ta wire-reinforced Zr-based bulk metallic glass composites

A Ta wire-reinforced Zr-based bulk metallic glass composite with a new type of structure was prepared successfully by the method of liquid metal infiltration. Ta wires distribute uniformly in the metallic glass matrix in the form of spirals. The composite exhibits two yield stages under compressive stress, and the samples are compressed into thin pancakes. The micro-cracks originate at the interface between the Ta wire and the metallic glass matrix and propagate perpendicularly to the interface, which then induce multiple shear bands in the metallic glass matrix due to the stress concentration. Shear cracks form in the metallic glass matrix during the continued loading process as a result of the interaction of shear bands. Deformation bands of Ta wires occur under the impact of shear bands. The local stress fields in the composite are changed obviously due to the introduction of the spiral-formed reinforcements. The investigation of the deformation behavior and mechanism suggests a new method for the application of bulk metallic glass composites as the structural materials.

High-temperature Mechanical Properties and Dynamic Recrystallization Mechanism of in situ Silicide-reinforced MoNbTaTiVSi Refractory High-entropy Alloy Composite

The hypoeutectic composite material composed of BCC phase and in situ precipitated Ti_(5)Si_(3) was prepared by adding Si into MoNbTaTiV high-entropy alloy.The obvious oriented in situ Ti_(5)Si_(3) phase formed eutectic phase with BCC phase in the inter-dendritic area,which leads to excellent properties of the composite.The alloy exhibits ultra-high yield stress of 718 MPa at 1200℃ and obvious compression plasticity.After reaching the maximum strength,dynamic recovery(DRV)and dynamic recrystallization(DRX)caused soften phenomena.The DRX mechanism of the dual-phase eutectic structure is analyzed by electron backscatter diffraction.The DRX of the BCC phase conforms to the discontinuous DRX and continuous DRX mechanisms,while the Ti_(5)Si_(3) phase has a geometric DRX mechanism in addition to the above two mechanisms.The high performance of this composite has enough potential high-temperature applications such as nuclear and aero engine.
