研究了轧制变形量及退火温度对T9S钛合金板材显微组织和室温力学性能的影响。结果表明:增加成品轧制变形量,板材组织破碎更充分,退火后形成等轴α相、拉长α相和晶间β相组织形貌,变形流线比较明显,板材室温强度和硬度升高,伸长率降低,弹性模量增加。随着退火温度升高,板材室温强度和硬度逐渐降低,伸长率逐渐提高,横向弹性模量逐渐减小,纵向弹性模量先增加后减小。经(750~790) ℃×45 min空冷退火处理后的板材可以获得较好的强度和塑性的匹配。     

Synthesis and performance of TiB2–B4C composites by high pressure of TiC–B mixture

TiB₂–B₄C composites were in situ synthesized and consolidated by high pressure synthesis method from a mixture of TiC and B powders at the pressure and temperature of 5.0 GPa and 1500℃-1900℃. The phase composition, microstructure, density, hardness, thermal conductivity, and electrical resistivity of TiB₂–B₄C composites were analyzed. As the increase in the synthesis temperature, the products were TiB₂ and B₄C phases and that crystallinity improved. TiB₂–B₄C composites were dense without obvious pores. TiB₂–B₄C composites synthesized at 1800℃ obtained the optimized performance, including the relative density of 98.2%, the Vickers hardness of 31.7 ± 1.2 GPa with the load of 9.8 N, the thermal conductivity of 30.3 ± 0.7 W/(m K), and the electrical resistivity of 3.3 × 10⁻³ Ω cm, respectively. The grain size of the TiB₂–B₄C composites changed with the increase in synthesis temperature, leading to the changes in hardness, thermal conductivity, and electrical resistivity.     

Design structure matrix (DSM) method application to issue of modeling and analyzing the fault tree of a wind energy asset

The perpetual energy production of a wind farm could be accomplished (under proper weather conditions) if no failures occurred. But even the best possible design, manufacturing, and maintenance of a system cannot eliminate the failure possibility. In order to understand and minimize the system failures, the most crucial components of the wind turbines, which are prone to failures, should be identified. Moreover, it is essential to determine and classify the criticality of the system failures according to the impact of these failure events on wind turbine safety. The present study is processing the failure data from a wind farm and uses the Fault Tree Analysis as a baseline for applying the Design Structure Matrix technique to reveal the failure and risk interactions between wind turbine subsystems. Based on the analysis performed and by introducing new importance measures, the “readiness to fail” of a subsystem in conjunction with the “failure riskiness” can determine the “failure criticality.” The value of the failure criticality can define the frame within which interventions could be done. The arising interventions could be applied either to the whole system or could be focused in specified pairs of wind turbine subsystems. In conclusion, the method analyzed in the present research can be effectively applied by the wind turbine manufacturers and the wind farm operators as an operation framework, which can lead to a limited (as possible) design‐out maintenance cost, failures' minimization, and safety maximization for the whole wind turbine system.     

Zeolite imidazolate framework (ZIF)-based mixed matrix membranes for CO2 separation: A review

Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), which combine the good separation performance of inorganic materials with the low cost of polymers, have emerged as a research hotspot for gas separation membranes. Zeolite imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are widely used as fillers to prepare MMMs owing to their advantageous characteristics, such as adjustable pore channels, unsaturated sites, and easy functionalization. For MMMs, three directions can be employed as criteria for improvement compared with pristine polymeric membranes. In this article, the progress of ZIF-based MMMs is reviewed from the aspects of sole-ZIF-based MMMs and modified ZIF-based MMMs. Both strategies improve the separation performance through different improvement directions and mechanisms. Our analysis shows that the synergistic effect of the modified filler can change the structure of the membranes, such as by improving the filler–polymer interface voids, which provides a foundation to overcome the trade-off effect to a certain extent. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effects of hydrogen content on powder metallurgy characteristic of titanium hydrides

The titanium dihydride (TiH₂) powder metallurgy has been attracted a lot of attention, but TiH₂ powder is difficult to press moulding. In this paper, the titanium hydride powder metallurgy including TiH₂ and unsaturated titanium hydrides (TiH_1.5) was investigated simultaneously compared with pure titanium metal powder metallurgy. The results indicates that the titanium hydride powder metallurgy is accompanied by the deoxidation self-purification effect during dehydrogenation process for both of TiH₂ and TiH_1.5, which have higher sintering density than pure titanium. There are the three stages relative to densification rate, namely the slow, rapid and full densification stages for all of three materials. The compressive yield strengths increase rapidly in the rapid densification stage and are unchangeable almost in the full densification stage after holding 2 h at 1300 °C. The titanium hydride powder metallurgy is helpful to obtain much better mechanical properties than the pure titanium metal powder metallurgy. Here the compressive yield strength of the as-sintered TiH₂ compact with the maximum hydrogen content is the best but has very small difference compared with that of the as-sintered TiH_1.5 compact after full sintering densification.     

Precipitation location of secondary phase and microstructural evolution during static recrystallization of as-cast Ti-25V-15Cr-0.3Si titanium alloy

The microstructural evolution and precipitation location of the secondary phase of an as-cast Ti-25V-15Cr-0.3Si titanium alloy were investigated via isothermal compression experiments and heat treatment. The average aspect (length-to-width) ratio, average area and size of the grains at different heat treatment temperatures and holding time were analyzed and the effects of deformation and annealing time on the grain area and size were considered. It was found that the grain size was strongly influenced by the height reduction and holding time. Grain growth was significant when annealing time increased from 10 min to 2 h at 950 °C and height reduction of 30%; however, grain growth was minimal at annealing time between 2 and 4 h. Many dispersion particles were observed to form in continuous chains; the precipitation location was confirmed to be along initial grain boundaries, and the dispersion particles were identified to be Ti₅Si₃ phase by TEM.     

基质囊泡及其在骨矿化过程中的作用

基质囊泡(Matrix vesicles,MVs)是骨矿物初始形核生长的场所。骨矿化过程中,钙、磷酸根等离子经通道蛋白跨膜运输进入MVs内,当局部浓度达到一定值时,磷酸钙晶体开始沉积。磷酸钙的存在形态包括无定形磷酸钙、磷酸八钙及羟基磷灰石等。MVs可以调节细胞内外基质中的钙和磷酸根离子的稳态及无机磷酸盐/无机焦磷酸盐的比值,提供磷酸钙晶体成核位点,在骨矿化的初始启动过程中发挥重要作用。本文概述了MVs的生物来源、分子组分、提取方法,MVs介导的骨矿化过程,以及近年来利用囊泡作为体外矿化模型模拟MVs矿化过程的研究进展。
