AZ31镁合金薄板经不同累积应变的连续弯曲变形后的显微组织与成形性能

对AZ31镁合金板材进行不同累积应变的连续弯曲变形及退火处理,随后对显微组织与力学性能的变化进行了研究。结果表明:经不同累积应变的连续弯曲变形后,镁合金板材的显微组织中没有发现孪晶,退火后,板材表层的晶粒异常长大,粗晶层的厚度随着累积应变的增加而增加,并且镁合金板材的织构朝RD方向偏转,偏转角度随累积应变的增加而增大;与原始板材相比,连续弯曲变形及退火处理使镁合金板材呈现出较好的室温成形性能(杯突值由2.3 mm提高到4.9 mm,提高了~113%),这主要归因于基面织构的改善使镁合金板材的r值减小与n值增大。     

Synthesis of high-entropy diboride nanopowders via molten salt-mediated magnesiothermic reduction

Powder synthesis is critical for implementing the wide applications of high-entropy diborides (HEBs). However, the low-temperature synthesis of HEB powders was rarely reported. Herein, the low-temperature synthesis of the single-phase HEB nanopowders via molten salt-mediated magnesiothermic reduction (MMR) method was reported for the first time. The results showed that the as-synthesized nanopowders consisted of the single-phase HEBs and their average particle sizes are in the range of 28-56 nm. Meanwhile, they possessed the good compositional homogeneity and the low-content oxygen impurity in the range of 4.13-6.12 at%. In addition, their formation mechanism could be well interpreted by a classical MMR growth process.     

Decorating surface charge of graphite nanoplate using an electrostatic coupling agent for 3-dimensional polymer nanocomposite

Here, we report a facile approach to electrostatically couple the surface charges of graphite nanoplate (GNP) fillers and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) polymer particles using ethylene maleic anhydride (EMA) copolymer as an electrostatic coupling agent. Our strategy involved switching the intrinsic repulsive electrostatic interactions between the directly exfoliated GNPs fillers and the PMMA particles to attractive electrostatic surface interactions for preparing core(PMMA)-shell (GNP) precursor in order to optimizing 3-dimensionally dispersed polymer nanocomposite. As a result, the electrical conductivity of the composites dramatically increased by a factor of 16.7 in the EMA-coupled GNP/PMMA composites compared with that of the EMA-free GNP/PMMA composites. In addition, the percolation threshold was also notably reduced from 0.32 to 0.159 vol% after electrostatic coupling of the GNPs fillers and PMMA particles. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.

Synthesis and properties of (Hf1-xTax)C solid solution carbides

Thermodynamically stable (Hf_1–xTa_x)C (x?=?0.1–0.3) compositions were selected by First Principle Calculation and synthesized in nanopowders via high-energy ball milling and carbothermal reduction of commercial oxides at 1450?°C. The formation of a solid solution during powder synthesis was investigated. The solid solution carbide powders were sintered at 1900?°C by spark plasma sintering without a sintering aid. As a result, the (Hf_1–xTa_x)C solid solution carbides exhibited high densities, excellent hardness and fracture toughness (ρ: 98.7–100.0%, HVN: 19.69–19.98?GPa, K_IC: 5.09–5.15?MPa?m^1/2) compared with previously reported HfC and HfC–TaC solid solution carbides.     

Growth,microstructure, energy–storage and dielectric performances of chemical–solution NBT–based thin films: Effect of sodium nonstoichimometry

Na_0.5+δBi_0.5(Ti_0.96W_0.01Ni_0.03)O₃ thin films with various Na contents (abbreviated as Na_.5+δBTWN, δ?=?? 3.0, ??1.5, 0, 1.5%) were fabricated on ITO/glass substrates using a chemical–solution process. The effects of Na nonstoichiometry on the microstructure, insulating, ferroelectric and dielectric performances are investigated. The pure perovskite phase can be obtained in Na_0.5BTWN and Na_0.515BTWN, while for Na_0.470BTWN or Na_0.485BTWN, the main composition contains secondary phase of TiO₂. The grain size increases from 30?nm at δ?=?? 3.0% to 55?nm at δ?=?0%, then decreases to 52?nm with δ?=?1.5%. The leakage current of Na_0.485BTWN sample is reduced dramatically in comparison with Na_0.5+δBTWN (δ?=?? 3.0, 0, 1.5%). The big recoverable energy–storage density of 63.1?J/cm² and high energy–storage efficiency of 55.0% can be obtained for Na_0.485BTWN due to the improved electric break–down strength and large difference value between the remanent polarization and maximum polarization. Enhanced dielectricity is achieved in Na_0.485BTWN with a high tunability of 36.0% and a figure of merit of 4.0 at 450?kV/cm and 500?kHz. These results demonstrated that the crystallization, micrographs and energy storage and dielectric properties of Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃ are highly sensitive to low levels of Na–site nonstoichiometry.     

Effects of hydrolysis of precursor on the structures and properties of polymer-derived SiBN ceramic fibers

In this paper, polyborosilazane precursor was synthesied from HMDZ, HSiCl₃, BCl₃ and CH₃NH₂ using a multistep method. By controlling the storage conditions, parts of the polyborosilazane fibers were hydrolyzed. FT-IR, NMR, XRD, TEM and monofilament tensile strength test were employed to study the effects of hydrolysis of precursor on the structures and properties of polymer-derived SiBN ceramic fibers. FT-IR and NMR results indicate that Si-N group in PBSZ reacts with H₂O to form Si-O-Si group. After pyrolysis reaction at 1400℃, Si-O-Si group will finally transformed into highly ordered cristobalite and β-quartz, resulting in formation of the wrinkled surface of the obtained SiBN ceramic fiber. The strip-like defects on fiber surface, according to monofilament tensile strength test, had a significant effect on mechanical property of the obtained SiBN ceramic fiber and caused no increase in fiber tensile strength of hydrolytic polyborosilazane fiber before and after pyrolytic process.     

Chemistry of SiNx thin film deposited by plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition using di-isopropylaminosilane (DIPAS) and N2 plasma

Silicon nitride (Si₃N₄) films have received great attention not only as dielectric materials for the gate dielectric of transistors and the insulator of capacitors, but also as a buffer layer and etch-stop layer for the semiconductor industry. As the applications of Si₃N₄ film increase, the necessity of investigating a novel deposition process applicable at low temperature has emerged. In this regard, the plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) technique is attractive as a promising process; however, the Si₃N₄ film deposition process at growth temperatures less than 150?°C using PEALD has not been investigated. In this work, the growth behavior and chemistry of SiN_x (x?<?1.33) film deposited by the PEALD process at various growth temperatures were developed. Insufficient thermal energy from low growth temperature induces an unstable chemical state of deposited film due to the remaining unreacted ligand of adsorbed precursors. This state results in a further chemical reaction to SiO₂ formation by air exposure. Other chemical effects depending on chemical composition and electrical property were also examined in detail.     

Enhanced green upconversion luminescence properties of Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped strontium gadolinium silicate oxyapatite phosphor

Upconversion Sr₂(Gd_.98-xEr_.02Yb_x)₈Si₆O₂₆ (SGSO:2Er³⁺/xYb³⁺) phosphor materials were synthesized using a citrate sol-gel process. X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed their hexagonal structure. Field emission scanning electron microscopy images of SGSO:2Er³⁺/xYb³⁺ phosphors depicted submicron particles. The enhanced upconversion luminescence properties of SGSO:2Er³⁺/xYb³⁺ phosphors were analysed as a function of Yb³⁺ ion concentration and laser power. The energy transfer induced enhanced emission of the Er³⁺/ Yb³⁺ ions co-doped SGSO phosphors was ascribed to multi-phonon relaxation. The calculated chromaticity coordinates of the SGSO:2Er³⁺/xYb³⁺ phosphors showed emissions could be tuned by changing Yb³⁺ ion concentration. Optimized sample exhibited the chromaticity coordinate values near to the ultra-high definition television standard green emission coordinates.     

Compensation for volatile elements to modify the microstructure and energy storage performance of (W,Ni)-codoped Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 ceramic films

This work reports the characteristics of nonstoichiometric Na_0.5+xBi_0.5+yTi_0.96W_0.01Ni_0.03O₃ (x?=?0.0%, y?=?1.0%; x?=?0.5%, y?=?2.0%; x?=?1.0%, y?=?4.0%) ceramic films derived from chemical solution deposition and the role played by excess Na/Bi in modifying microstructure and electrical properties. Single perovskite phase structure can be maintained in all compositions. Decreased grain size can be obtained with the increasing compensation for volatile Na/Bi elements. Particularly, extra amounts of 0.5?mol% Na and 2.0?mol% Bi leads to reduced leakage and enhanced ferroelectric polarization. Meanwhile, due to the high breakdown electrical field strength and large difference between maximum and remanent polarization, an excellent energy storage performance can be achieved in Na_0.505Bi_0.52Ti_0.96W_0.01Ni_0.03O₃ sample, which is distinguished by a recoverable energy storage density of 40.5?J/cm³ and an energy storage efficiency of 43.6% at 2515?kV/cm as well as a good frequency stability. Hence, the regulation for the content of volatile elements is effective to modify the electrical response of Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃-based materials.
