Investigation of separation phenomenon in high-toughness X70 thick-walled linepipe steel

Separation is a commonly observed phenomenon during drop weight tear testing in high-toughness linepipe steels. Severe separation is harmful because it may cause fracturing or bursting of pipes. In this study,a quantitative measurement of separation was proposed,and using this new method,a relationship between the separation and microstructure was determined and discussed. The microstructures observed using optical and scanning electron microscopy revealed that the separation was related to the mixed ferritic and bainitic microstructures,or rather,it was related to the carbon enrichment in bainite.

A novel multiscale approach to brittle fracture of nano/micro‐sized components

Principles and advantages of a new concept based on the ab initio aided strain gradient elasticity theory are shown in comparison with the classical Barenblatt cohesive model. The method is applied to the theoretical prediction of the critical energy release rate and the crack tip opening displacement at the crack instability in nanopanels made of germanium and molybdenum crystals. The necessary length scale parameter l₁ is determined for germanium and molybdenum by the best gradient elasticity fits of ab initio computed screw dislocation displacements and phonon dispersions. Values of ab initio computed critical energy release rates and crack opening profiles revealed that the length l₁ is related to inflexion points of profiles. A novel ab initio method in combination with continuum mechanics was successfully tested to replace molecular statics dependent of availability of interatomic potentials. The asymptotic strain gradient elasticity solution for displacement components near the crack tip in materials with cubic lattice was also derived.     

Inhibition of stress corrosion cracking in 304 stainless steel through titanium ion implantation

The effects of titanium ion implantation on the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behaviour of 304 austenitic stainless steel were studied. Slow strain rate tests (SSRTs) were conducted on 304 steel in air and in 5?wt-% NaCl solution. The microscopic effects of ion implantation were evaluated by Stopping and Range of Ions in Matter Procedures (SRIM). Fracture morphologies and microstructures were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The fracture surfaces illustrate that ion implantation significantly inhibits the corrosion pits that initiate SCC. A dense passive film, which inhibits SCC, was formed during the ion implantation process. SCC initiation was restrained due to the dense dislocation nets that were generated by titanium ion implantation.

Highlights

• Ion implantation inhibits SCC susceptibility.

• The lack of Cr at the grain boundary leads to the expansion of SCC along the grain boundary.

• Implantation-induced damage leads to high-density dislocations.

• The surface was amorphised due to high-density dislocations.

Analyzing dissipation effects on the non-classicality witnessing by a qubit via the entangled state representation

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we study detection of the state non-classicality for a quantum harmonic oscillator by a qubit in the presence of dissipation effects. We show that dissipation can enhance the effectiveness of the method in case of using the corrected form of the related nonclassicality witness. Such an improvement is attributed to the fact that dissipation leads to probing a surface, instead of a curve, of the complex plane for non-classicality condition on normally-ordered characteristic function.     

环氧树脂涂层表面亲水性对微藻黏附性能的影响

在固体材料表面黏附成膜是微藻细胞的一种生理特性。近些年基于微藻生物膜的生物过程，如生物膜贴壁培养和防附着技术受到了很多关注。微藻在固体材料表面的黏附受藻细胞与材料表面之间的相互作用的影响，建立黏附强度与材料表面性质参数间的关系对于通过材料选择来强化或控制微藻生物膜具有非常重要的意义。本工作的目的是揭示和明确材料亲疏水性对微藻黏附的影响，提出了一种双酚A环氧(EP)树脂表面亲疏水改性的方法。通过将亲水性的二乙醇胺(DEA)或疏水性的聚甲基聚硅氧烷(PMHS)加入到EP树脂中反应，EP树脂表面水接触角在36.80?~98.34?范围内可通过加入不同量的DEA或PMHS实现任意可调，材料的表面水接触角与DEA或PMHS加入量之间有线性关系。重要的是这种改性方法获得的材料，其形貌、结构、表面粗糙度等表面性质几乎没有变化，从而在研究和关联微藻黏附量与材料表面亲疏水性(表面水接触角)之间的关系时可以排除亲疏水性之外的其他表面性质的影响；其次，考察了小球藻和栅藻在不同亲疏水性材料表面的黏附行为，结果表明小球藻和栅藻在亲水性和疏水性材料表面均能黏附成膜，但在亲水性材料表面黏附更多更快；建立了微藻最大黏附容量与材料表面接触角之间关联关系，表明微藻最大黏附容量随材料表面水接触角的增大而线性降低，栅藻的表面黏附容量比小球藻大。
