Quantitative prediction of elastomer degradation and mechanical behavior based on diffusion–reaction process

Thermal oxidative aging and other chemical-induced degradation greatly affect the service life of elastomer components. In this article, we presented a strategy to predict the long-term mechanical behavior of elastomeric components, to foresee the failure of elastomer components in design stage. The accumulation and consumption of small molecule reactants in elastomers are described using a diffusion–reaction process. Free-volume theory is applied to consider the diffusivity change during this process. Degradation of elastomers under elevated temperature up to 500 K, environmental pressure up to 4 atm, and different cross-link densities are studied in this simulation. Methodology of prediction of mechanical behavior is proposed based on the affined network model.

采用光学显微镜、扫描电镜和显微硬度仪等研究了T4和T6热处理对Mg-2.5Zn-1.5Ca-0.22Zr镁合金显微组织及硬度的影响。结果表明:Mg-2.5Zn-1.5Ca-0.22Zr镁合金经T4热处理之后,网状结构的β-Ca2Mg6Zn3相逐渐分解并转变为不规则的团聚的块状结构,MgZn2相逐渐溶解于α-Mg基体中,硬度比铸态时显著提高,达到63.87 HV;经过不同时间的T6热处理之后,MgZn2相从α-Mg基体中重新析出,球状的Mg2Ca中间化合物均匀的分布于晶粒内且发生明显长大。随着时效时间的延长,MgZn2相增多,对位错的钉扎增强,合金的硬度提高,在"峰时效"时的硬度达到64.97 HV。410℃×24 h固溶处理后150℃×8 h时效处理为Mg-2.5Zn-1.5Ca-0.22Zr镁合金的最佳热处理工艺。     

Comparison in composite performance after thermooxidative aging of injection molded polyamide 6 with glass fiber,talc, and a sustainable biocarbon filler

Degradation is an unavoidable part of a material's life making it important to both monitor and control the aging behavior of plastics. This study compares thermooxidative degraded composites of a novel bio-based and sustainable filler, Biocarbon (MBc), against that of traditional and commercially available fillers (glass fiber and talc) used in the automotive industry. The influence of thermooxidative degradation on the composites was studied under accelerated heat aging for 1000 h at 140°C. The mechanical properties of the composites were evaluated using notched Izod impact as well as both tensile and flexural tests. Morphological structure of the composites was investigated using a scanning electron microscopy. Dynamic mechanical analysis and differential scanning calorimetry were used to evaluate the physical transitions both before and after aging. The glass-filled composites displayed the best performance; while, both the talc and biocarbon composites possessed similar strength and ductility performances. Advantageously, the biocarbon composites experienced an 11% reduction in density as compared to talc-filled composites with similar weight content. After aging, all composites exhibited reduced tensile and flexural strengths ranging from 5 to 67% partly due to chain scission. Whereas, the modulus of all composites increased with a range of 1–24% due to an annealing effect. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2020 , 137, 48618.     

Effect of water aging on the mechanical properties of flax fiber/bio-based resin composites

Present work investigates the effect of hydrothermal aging of flax fiber-reinforced bio-based epoxy resin laminates on the mechanical and thermomechanical properties of the composites. Three different types of bio-based resins were used. Plates reinforced with eight layers plain weave flax fibers of 150 g/m², manufactured using Resin Transfer Molding (RTM), compression molding or autoclave technique depends on type of the resin. One dimensional Fickian behavior shows a good fitting to the experimental data derived from weight measurements. The water uptake at the equilibrium state in the case of 60 °C temperature was slightly greater than that at 40 °C. The mechanical properties after hydrothermal aging show a significant reduction and do not return to their initial values even after the drying process. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of squeeze-cast Al−5.0Mg−3.0Zn−1.0Cu alloys in solution-treated and aged conditions

The microstructure and mechanical properties at different depths of squeeze-cast, solution-treated and aged Al−5.0Mg−3.0Zn−1.0Cu alloy were investigated. For squeeze-cast alloy, from casting surface to interior, the grain size of α(Al) matrix and width of T-Mg₃₂(AlZnCu)₄₉ phase increase significantly, while the volume fraction of T phase decreases. The related mechanical properties including ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elongation decrease from 243.7 MPa and 2.3% to 217.9 MPa and 1.4%, respectively. After solution treatment at 470 °C for 36 h, T phase is dissolved into matrix, and the grain size increases so that the UTS and elongation from surface to interior are respectively reduced from 387.8 MPa and 18.6% to 348.9 MPa and 13.9%. After further peak-aging at 120 °C for 24 h, numerous G.P. II zone and η′ phase precipitate in matrix. Consequently, UTS values of the surface and interior increase to 449.5 and 421.4 MPa, while elongation values decrease to 12.5% and 8.1%, respectively.     

选区激光熔化成形AlSiMg3合金

基于选区激光熔化（SLM）技术熔体快速冷却的特点，通过提高Al-Si-Mg合金中Mg的含量，设计获得SLM技术专用AlSiMg3合金。系统研究了不同工艺参数和时效处理条件对SLM成形AlSiMg3合金组织和硬度的影响。结果表明，SLM成形样品均由α-Al、Si和Mg2Si相构成。高激光能量密度有利于增加粉末样品的成形性，当激光功率为160 W，扫描速度为200 mm/s时，样品具有最低孔隙率0.07%。随着激光扫描速度的增加，样品中富Si组织的比例逐渐升高，Mg元素在α-Al中固溶量逐渐增大，使得SLM成形样品的硬度逐渐升高，最大值为194±3 HV。样品经150 ℃时效处理后，由于α-Al内部纳米颗粒的析出，导致样品硬度增大，最大值为210±2 HV，远高于现有报道的SLM成形Al-Si和Al-Si-Mg铝合金。本研究报道了成形性和力学性能优异的SLM专用Al-Si-Mg合金。     

316L不锈钢non-Masing特性分析和疲劳寿命预测

对316L不锈钢在不同应变范围下分别进行了293 K和873 K试验温度下的低周疲劳试验，讨论了材料循环特性的幅值相关性和温度相关性，比较了不同条件下non-Masing特性，并利用能量方法进行了低周疲劳寿命预测。实验结果表明, 在不同条件下，循环初期会出现不同程度的循环硬化现象，随后会出现循环软化、饱和直至材料失效；与873 K 试验条件相比，材料在293 K温度下的non-Masing特性更为显著；在大应变范围下，两温度下材料的non-Masing特性更加明显。采用能量方法进行疲劳寿命预测时，预测结果均位于两倍分散带内，且基于non-Masing特性得到了比基于Masing特性更为精确的预测结果。在873 K温度和大应变范围下，显著的动态应变时效效应导致考虑non-Masing与Masing特性的预测结果相差不大。
