具有合理硬度梯度和组织分布的渗碳钢23CrNi3Mo的热处理冷却行为

利用Gleeble-1500热模拟机、光学显微镜(OM)、扫描电镜(SEM)以及透射电镜(TEM)对渗碳钢23CrNi3Mo的连续冷却相变规律以及等温转变规律进行了研究,并基于此,设计了一种新的热处理冷却工艺。研究结果表明,渗碳后试样以0.05℃/s和0.1℃/s的冷速连续冷却时,表面渗碳层为高碳马氏体组织,过渡区为高碳马氏体+下贝氏体的混合组织,基体为下贝氏体组织;渗碳试样外表面在高温段以较低的冷速(0.05~3℃/s)连续冷却时,碳化物沿晶界析出形成网状碳化物;无渗碳的实验钢的贝氏体等温转变温度范围为375~450℃。新的热处理冷却工艺为:试样在880℃保温完成后,采用快速冷却工艺,以冷速大于等于5℃/s进入贝氏体转变温度区,直接入450℃的盐浴炉,入炉后均温5~10min,在低温转变区即贝氏体转变温度区间,采用慢速冷却工艺,冷速小于等于0.1℃/s。获得的试样渗碳层深度为1.4mm,国外的阿特拉斯钎头渗碳层深度为1.2mm,两者基本相同,但前者硬度分布更加平缓;两者表面显微组织均为高碳马氏体组织,过渡区均为马氏体加下贝氏体组织,基体均为贝氏体组织。通过设计新的热处理冷却工艺,获得了与国外钎头相同水平的试样。     

原位观察不同冷却速率下GH3625合金的凝固过程

利用带有红外加热炉的共聚焦激光扫描显微镜(CLSM)对GH3625高温合金在不同冷却速率(30℃/min、100℃/min和200℃/min)下的凝固过程进行了动态原位观察,通过差示扫描量热分析仪(DSC)、扫描电镜(SEM)和能谱仪(EDS)研究了凝固后的组织形态及相的析出规律。结果表明,GH3625合金的液相线温度在1 356.5℃,在凝固过程中自由表面液相分数随温度和时间的变化关系满足Avrami方程;凝固过程中主要相的析出顺序依次为γ基体相、碳化物和Laves相;在GH3625合金凝固过程中,随着冷却速率的增大,枝晶细化,枝晶间距减小,成分偏析减轻,Laves相分布更加弥散,且以析出共晶Laves相为主;凝固末期大量的Nb元素富集在枝晶间和晶界,这是形成Laves相的主要原因。     

灰岩和白云岩动态压缩力学性能的SHPB实验

为了得到爆破荷载作用下岩石的破坏特性及爆破振动波的传播特性,利用RMT-150C多功能实验机和改进后的ф50mm的分离式Hopkinson压杆装置,分别研究灰岩和白云岩试件的静态力学特性和在5种不同应变率等级下的动态力学性能。实验结果表明,随着平均应变率的增加,灰岩和白云岩试件的动态抗压强度、峰值应变、吸收能、比能量吸收值以及破碎程度都明显增加,表现出显著的应变率效应,而初始弹性模量对应变率的相关性不敏感。从岩石的动态抗压强度和能量吸收两个方面,对比分析灰岩和白云岩动态力学性能的共性和差异性,更合理地解释了岩石在动态冲击荷载下的破坏本质。     

Bending impact on the performance of a flexible Li4Ti5O12-based all-solid-state thin-film battery

The growing demand of flexible electronic devices is increasing the requirements of their power sources. The effect of bending in thin-film batteries is still not well understood. Here, we successfully developed a high active area flexible all-solid-state battery as a model system that consists of thin-film layers of Li₄Ti₅O₁₂, LiPON, and Lithium deposited on a novel flexible ceramic substrate. A systematic study on the bending state and performance of the battery is presented. The battery withstands bending radii of at least 14 mm achieving 70% of the theoretical capacity. Here, we reveal that convex bending has a positive effect on battery capacity showing an average increase of 5.5%, whereas concave bending decreases the capacity by 4% in contrast with recent studies. We show that the change in capacity upon bending may well be associated to the Li-ion diffusion kinetic change through the electrode when different external forces are applied. Finally, an encapsulation scheme is presented allowing sufficient bending of the device and operation for at least 500 cycles in air. The results are meant to improve the understanding of the phenomena present in thin-film batteries while undergoing bending rather than showing improvements in battery performance and lifetime.     

New Insight into Procedure of Interface Electron Transfer through Cascade System with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity

Recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs is extremely limited in the practical application of photocatalysis toward solving the energy crisis and environmental pollution. A rational design of the cascade system (i.e., rGO/Bi₂WO₆/Au, and ternary composites) with highly efficient charge carrier separation is successfully constructed. As expected, the integrated system (rGO/Bi₂WO₆/Au) shows enhanced photocatalytic activity compared to bare Bi₂WO₆ and other binary composites, and it is proved in multiple electron transfer (MET) behavior, namely a cooperative electron transfer (ET) cascade effect. Simultaneously, UV–vis/scanning electrochemical microscopy is used to directly identify MET kinetic information through an in situ probe scanning technique, where the “fast” and “slow” heterogeneous ET rate constants (K_eff) of corresponding photocatalysts on the different interfaces are found, which further reveals that the MET behavior is the prime source for enhanced photocatalytic activity. This work not only offers a new insight to study catalytic performance during photocatalysis and electrocatalysis systems, but also opens up a new avenue to design highly efficient catalysts in photocatalytic CO₂ conversion to useful chemicals and photovoltaic devices.     

Effects of microstructure on fatigue crack propagation behavior in a bi-modal TC11 titanium alloy fabricated via laser additive manufacturing

In this study, the crack propagation behaviors in the equiaxed and equiaxed-columnar grain regions of a heat-treated laser additive manufacturing (LAM) TC11 alloy with a special bi-modal microstructure are investigated. The results indicate that the alloy presents a special bi-modal microstructure that comprises a fork-like primary α (α_p) phase surrounded by a secondary α colony (α_s) in the β phase matrix after the heat treatment is completed. The samples demonstrate a fast crack growth rate with larger da/dN values through the equiaxed grain sample versus across the equiaxed-columnar grain sample at low ΔK values (<13.8). The differences that are observed between the crack propagation behaviors (in the crack initiation stage) of the samples can be mostly attributed to the different size and morphology of the α_p lamellae and α_s colony within the grains in the equiaxed and columnar grain regions rather than the grain boundaries. The cracks prefer to grow along the α/β boundary with a smooth propagation route and a fast propagation rate in the equiaxed grain region, where the α_p and α clusters have a large size. However, in the columnar grain region, small and randomly distributed α_p lamellae generate a zigzag-shaped propagation path with a reduction in the da/dN value. Additionally, the change in the size of the α_p lamellae in the equiaxed grains (heat affected bands, HAB) is also observed to influence the propagation behavior of the crack during the crack initiation stage.
