Effects of the joining process on the microstructure and properties of liquid-phase-sintered SiC-SiC joints formed with Ti foil

The joining of liquid-phase sintered SiC (LPS-SiC) ceramics was conducted using spark plasma sintering (SPS), through solid state diffusion bonding, with Ti-metal foil as a joining interlayer. Samples were joined at 1400 °C, under applied pressures of either 10 or 30 MPa, and with different atmospheres (argon, Ar, vs. vacuum). It was demonstrated that the shear strength of the joints increased with an increase in the applied joining pressure. The joining atmosphere also affected on both the microstructure and shear strength of the SiC joints. The composition and microstructure of the interlayer were examined to understand the mechanism. As a result, a SiC-SiC joining with a good mechanical performance could be achieved under an Ar environment, which in turn could provide a cost-effective approach and greatly widen the applications of SiC ceramic components with complex shape.     

Multi-scale characteristics of magnesium potassium phosphate cement modified by metakaolin

Workability and early-ages mechanical properties are important indicators of magnesium potassium phosphate cement (MKPC) as a repair material. The effect of metakaolin (MK) on the setting time, fluidity and early-ages strength of MKPC paste was studied, and its influence mechanism was analyzed through pore structure, microstructure and nanomechanical properties. The results show that 10% and 20% of MK prolong the setting time of MKPC paste, but excessive MK shortens the setting time of MKPC paste. Meanwhile, incorporating MK reduces the fluidity of MKPC paste, and the early-ages strength of MKPC specimens increases when the substitution ratio of MK is 10%. When 10% of MK is incorporated to the MKPC paste, the 30-d shrinkage of the sample is only 69% of the control group. Meanwhile, a proper amount of MK can improve the pore structure of the MKPC specimen and make its microstructure denser by generating amorphous aluminosilicate phosphate gel. It is observed from the nano-scale characteristics that incorporating 10% MK can reduce the content of pore phase and unreacted MgO phase, and increase the volume fraction of hydration products.

Experimental study on high temperature performances of silica-based ceramic core for single crystal turbine blades

Silica-based ceramic cores are widely utilized for shaping the internal cooling canals of single crystal superalloy turbine blades. The thermal expansion behavior, creep resistance, and high temperature flexural strength are critical for the quality of turbine blades. In this study, the influence of zircon, particle size distribution, and sintering temperature on the high-temperature performance of silica-based ceramic cores were investigated. The results show that zircon is beneficial for narrowing the contraction temperature range and reducing the shrinkage, improving the creep resistance and high-temperature flexural strength significantly. Mixing coarse, medium and fine fused silica powders in a ratio of 5:3:2, not only reduced high temperature contraction, but effectively improved the creep resistance. Properly increasing the sintering temperature can slightly reduce the thermal deformation and improve the high-temperature flexural strength of the silica-based core, but excessively high sintering temperature negatively impacts the creep resistance and high-temperature flexural strength.     

Preparation and pore-forming mechanism of MgO–Al2O3–CaO-based porous ceramics using phosphorus tailings

A simple strategy for preparing MgO–Al₂O₃–CaO-based porous ceramics (MACPC) with high strength and ultralow thermal conductivity has been proposed in this work based on the raw material of phosphorus tailings. The effects of phosphorus tailings content, carbon black addition and heat treatment temperature on the properties of MACPC were studied, and their pore-forming mechanism during sintering was revealed. The results showed that the main phase composition of MACPC was magnesia alumina spinel and calcium aluminate after sintering at 1225 °C. Furthermore, the MACPC exhibited excellent comprehensive properties when 60 wt% phosphorus tailings and 40 wt% alumina were added, whose apparent porosity was 62.8%, cold compressive strength was 14.8 MPa, and the thermal conductivity was 0.106 W/(m·K) at 800 °C. The synchronously enhanced strength and thermal insulation properties of MACPC were related to the formation of uniformly distributed micropores (<2 μm) and passages in the matrix, which originated from the decomposition of phosphorus tailings and the burnt out of carbon black during the sintering process. The preparation of MACPC with high temperature resistance and excellent mechanical and thermal insulation properties with the raw material of phosphorus tailings provided an effective method for the high-value utilization of phosphorus tailings.

ASME Ⅱ卷D篇表U数据作为设计校核中材料验收标准存在问题及探讨

ASME标准钢板对于短时高温抗拉数据无规定,但设备设计人员在校核时又要用到此数据,于是有些设计文件在技术要求中将ASME II卷表U的数据作为材料验收的标准。针对此种做法引发的争议及涉及的主要问题进行试验验证和分析探讨。研究结果表明,ASME II卷D篇表U中的数据是基于室温抗拉强度保证值,并根据拟合曲线将室温保证值提高了10%得到的,实测数据与ASME规范数据不一致,部分材料在250~350℃存在动态应变时效现象,但仍不满足设计要求。材料经模拟焊后热处理后性能下降,难以到达交货态的要求。给出了短时高温抗拉强度的选用建议。     

Improved one-dimensional beam model for unbalanced composite single-lap joint

An analytical nonlinear solution was provided for unbalanced composite single-lap joint (CSLJ) using an improved one-dimensional beam model, which incorporated the effect of bending–tension coupling. The bending–tension coupling stiffness was introduced to characterize the coupling bending and tension behavior induced by the un-symmetric stacking sequence of composite laminates. The governing differential equations captured the bending–tension coupling behavior and the geometrically nonlinear features were constructed based on the displacement compatibility conditions of flexible interface. The transverse deformation in overlap region, edge moment factors and adhesive stress distributions for the unbalanced CSLJ with inflexible, intermediate flexibility and flexible adhesive can be determined by the present one-dimensional beam model. The accuracy of the present model was validated by the comparison with nonlinear finite element model. The effect of bending–tension coupling on edge moment factors and peak values of adhesive stresses was shed light on with the present model.
