Up-pulling force analysis for ESC hollow cylindrical casting

Electroslag casting(ESC)is an important method to produce high quality castings.In this study,the ESC up-pulling inner mold method(EUPIM)was used to produce hollow cylindrical castings with the multiple consumable electrodes.The radial deformation,the axial and radial internal stress of the inner mold,and the axial internal stress of the slag shell were analyzed using the finite element method(FEM)with the aid of ANSYS software.The ProCAST software was used to calculate the specific heat,heat conductivity and density curve of Cu.Simulation results show that the radial deformation,the axial and radial internal stress of the inner mold,and the axial internal stress of the slag shell near the slag-metal interface of hollow cylndrical casting gradually increase from 0 s to 360 s after the ESC starting(slagging)process but before applying the up-pulling force.The suitable initial up-pulling moment of the inner mold is at around 180-198 s after the starting process.     

利用固液扩散偶研究Mg-40Al与Mg-20Ce的界面反应

本文主要研究了Mg-40Al与Mg-20Ce固液界面在475°C, 500°C和525°C下保温5min至30min的界面反应和扩散层的生长动力学。结果发现，在扩散层中由于Al元素和Ce元素反应生成Al₁₁Ce₃, Al₃Ce and Al₂Ce金属化合物。金属化合物的体积分数随着扩散温度的升高而增加。扩散层的生长满足抛物线生长规律，扩散层的扩散激活能为42±3.7kJ/mol。实验研究的固液扩散为理解合金熔炼过程中金属化合物的形成提供了理论基础。     

疏水引力在煤泥浮选过程中的作用机理及应用

为了分析疏水引力在煤泥浮选过程中的作用机理,将-0.074mm的不同密度细粒煤泥混入粗粒煤泥中进行浮选试验,研究不同密度细粒煤泥对可燃体回收率的影响;进行了EDLVO理论计算,分析各作用能的作用效果和疏水引力的成因。结果表明:1.3～1.4 g/cm~3密度级细粒煤泥容易罩盖于粗粒精煤表面疏水部分;水中两个相互接近的疏水表面间的作用以疏水作用为主,疏水引力的产生是由于水中疏水表面相互接近到一定距离时自发形成了纳米气泡桥;浮选调浆的强度应适中,在破坏煤泥颗粒间疏水引力的同时而不破坏煤泥与气泡的附着。     

Operando Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy Studies of Sodium–Oxygen Redox Reactions

Lower charge overpotential of sodium–oxygen (Na–O₂) batteries makes them a promising electrical storage technology. However, they have an undesirable discharge product, sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃), which has widely been found in many previous studies. Whether and how the carbon components in the cathode are involved in the formation of Na₂CO₃ is still not well understood. Herein, an all solid-state Na–O₂ battery was constructed and its charge and discharge cycles were studied using ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The operando XPS results clearly demonstrate the formation of Na₂CO₃ on the cathode during the discharge cycle. A fraction of the carbonate formed can be cycled while charging the battery. Transformation of the carbon-based cathode to Na₂CO₃ is a potential cause of capacity fading of the Na–O₂ battery.     

再加工工艺对N18锆合金板残余应力的影响

采用“热轧+冷轧+退火”工艺对N18锆合金板进行再加工,通过X射线法分析板的表面残余应力,采用EBSD技术分析晶界取向差角分布和大小角度晶界。结果表明,热轧后N18锆合金板的表面残余应力呈现无规律分布状态;冷轧后板的表面残余应力均为压应力,其大小随着冷轧变形量的增加而增加;退火后板的表面残余应力值处于较低水平,当退火制度为500 ℃×2 h时,残余应力处于最低水平;退火后,板的微观结构以小角度晶界为主,且随着退火温度的升高,小角度晶界的密度先增加后趋于稳定。
