退火温度对HA/Ti-24Nb-4Zr复合材料组织与性能的影响

利用放电等离子烧结(SPS)技术制备了HA/Ti-24Nb-4Zr生物复合材料,研究了不同退火温度对复合材料显微组织和力学性能(抗压强度、屈服强度、屈强比、压缩弹性模量)的影响。结果表明,烧结态复合材料主要由β-Ti相、少量初生α-Ti相及HA相组成;随着退火温度的升高,复合材料基体中β-Ti相含量增多且晶粒逐渐长大,针状次生α-Ti相在晶界处和晶内不断析出,HA相结构和含量变化不大;与烧结态相比,不同退火温度处理后的复合材料强度和弹性模量先略微上升后下降,而塑韧性呈不断提高趋势;复合材料在850 ℃退火处理后,抗压强度、屈服强度、屈强比和压缩弹性模量值分别为1507 MPa、1270 MPa、0.84和42 GPa,塑韧性得到明显改善,作为生物医用植入材料具有潜在的应用前景。     

Characterisation of the microplasma spraying of biocompatible coating of titanium

This paper presents new results of studying the influence of parameters of microplasma spraying (MPS) of Ti wire on the structure and properties of Ti coatings. Based on the design of the experiment and the results of the SEM study, certain spraying modes were chosen to form the desired composition and structure of the Ti coating.  The dense sublayer (up to 300 µm thick) provides good adhesion to the substrate, and a porous top layer can accelerate the coated implant ingrowth with the bone.  This technology is developed for the manufacture of coated endoprosthesis implants.     

Microstructure−fracture toughness relationships and toughening mechanism of TC21 titanium alloy with lamellar microstructure

The independent influence of microstructural features on fracture toughness of TC21 alloy with lamellar microstructure was investigated. Triple heat treatments were designed to obtain lamellar microstructures with different parameters, which were characterized by OM and SEM. The size and content of α plates were mainly determined by cooling rate from single β phase field and solution temperature in two-phase field; while the precipitation behavior of secondary α platelets was dominantly controlled by aging temperature in two-phase field. The content and thickness of α plates and the thickness of secondary α platelets were important microstructural features influencing the fracture toughness. Both increasing the content of α plates and thickening α plates (or secondary α platelets) could enhance the fracture toughness of TC21 alloy. Based on energy consumption by the plastic zone of crack tip in α plates, a toughening mechanism for titanium alloys was proposed.     

Economic effects of regulating the seismic strengthening of older buildings

The marked increase in the awareness of earthquake risk following the Canterbury earthquakes in New Zealand offered a unique opportunity to investigate the economic effect of disaster-mitigation regulations on the commercial building stock. A difference-in-differences (DD) framework was used to determine whether earthquake risk has been capitalized into the property prices of buildings constructed prior to 1976, as a response to the national policy requiring assessment and strengthening (or demolition) of the existing earthquake-prone building stock. A negative externality is found in the policy announcement on affected (pre-1970s) office and retail buildings which caused office buildings to suffer a 12.5% stigma discount. However, retail properties were less impacted suffering a 2.3% stigma loss. The value of the commercial building stock has been affected by the policy. These findings provide policy-makers with timely evidence as to the economic effects of New Zealand’s earthquake-prone buildings policy. Facing losses in property value and financial responsibility for retrofitting their assets, building owners will be looking for a workable set of regulatory and non-regulatory incentives to encourage disaster risk management and protect the built environment.     

不同方法发酵的酸豆角品质对比分析

本文将研究不同方法发酵的酸豆角品质对比分析。选取质地嫩脆、条形均匀、无病虫害的新鲜豆角为泡制原料。采用自然干法发酵、自然湿法发酵与纯种湿法发酵的发酵方法制作酸豆角。检测发酵过程中，pH值、还原糖含量、总酸含量、总糖含量、亚硝酸盐含量以及氨基酸态氮含量，分析纯种湿法发酵与自然湿法发酵对酸豆角品质的影响。结果表明：纯种湿法发酵25 d后，其pH值和还原糖含量分别为3.92、0.03%，均高于自然湿法发酵；总酸、总糖、亚硝酸盐含量、氨基酸态氮含量分别为0.25%、0.04%、0.01 mg/kg和0.01%，均低于自然湿法发酵。另外，纯种湿法发酵酸豆角的甲氧基乙酸含量为0.37%，乙酸乙酯为0.51%，含水量为81.15%，感官评分为45.52，均高于自然干法发酵。纯种湿法发酵对酸豆角品质的效果最好，亚硝酸盐的含量在发酵后期显著降低，感官评分较高，对豆角工业化生产提供了较好的参考价值。     

应用M-MIVM预测含钛渣系组元活度

 在钢铁冶炼过程中,随着护炉钛材料和含钛铁矿石的应用,大量的含钛炉渣被生产出来。由于缺少多元含钛渣系的热力学数据,限制了钛资源综合利用技术的深入发展。因此,应用改进的分子相互作用体积模型(M-MIVM(FII)),预测了基础渣系Al₂O₃-CaO-SiO₂、FeO-MnO-SiO₂和含钛渣系FeO-MnO-TiO₂、FeO-SiO₂-TiO₂、MnO-SiO₂-TiO₂、Al₂O₃-CaO-FeO-TiO₂中各组元活度,并与试验值比较。结果表明,M-MIVM(FII)的预测值与试验值符合较好,6个体系总的平均相对误差为11%,该精度处于Turkdogan提出的30%以内的试验误差范围; M-MIVM(FII)在参数拟合与活度预测能力方面均优于MIVM,该模型对多元含钛熔渣体系组元活度具有更好的预测效果。在此基础上,应用M-MIVM(FII)预测Al₂O₃-CaO-SiO₂-TiO₂熔体中TiO₂活度,并分析其影响因素。结果表明,TiO₂活度预测值与试验值吻合良好,且随炉渣碱度、Al₂O₃含量的增加而降低,该规律与试验规律相一致。M-MIVM(FII)仅通过拟合子二元系活度或者直接由无限稀活度系数就能够预测多元熔体的热力学性质。     

改性氧化钛对羟乙基乙二胺水溶液解吸CO2的强化

羟乙基乙二胺（AEE）水溶液的CO₂循环吸收量高（1.2molCO₂/molAEE），吸收速度快，稳定性好，但解吸速度慢、解吸量少（0.8mol CO₂/mol AEE）是限制该技术广泛应用的主要原因。本文通过向AEE水溶液中添加质量分数为0.05%～0.20%的改性氧化钛（TiO₂-MWCNT和TiO₂-OH）强化AEE的解吸能力。CO₂循环吸收（40℃）-解吸（120℃）实验结果表明改性氧化钛的添加比氧化钛强化CO₂解吸效果更好，强化顺序为TiO₂-MWCNT＞TiO₂-OH；其对应的最大解吸速率分别为0.093L/min（质量分数0.15%）和0.083L/min（质量分数0.20%），相对于AEE水溶液，分别提高了32.9%和18.6%；其对应的最大解吸量分别为0.92molCO₂/molAEE（质量分数0.15%）和0.88molCO₂/molAEE（质量分数0.20%），分别提高了12.2%和9.7%；其对应的CO₂循环吸收量分别是0.95molCO₂/molAEE（质量分数0.15%）和0.89molCO₂/molAEE（质量分数0.15%），分别提高了18.75%和11.25%；5次循环吸收解吸实验结果表明改性氧化钛强化CO₂解吸效果稳定，具有较强的化学稳定性。对反应后的改性氧化钛进行XRD、BET、FTIR和SEM表征，结果表明改性氧化钛具有较强的结构稳定性。TiO₂-MWCNT和TiO₂-OH在促进有机胺溶液解吸CO₂方面具有一定的工业应用潜力。     

New empirical correlation for estimation of vaporization enthalpy of algerian saharan blend petroleum fractions

A Real-coded Genetic Algorithm has been used to develop a new correlation to estimate the enthalpy of vaporization for pure compounds and petroleum fractions as a function of the normal boiling point and specific gravity. In developing the correlation 80% of the data was used and the remaining are used for validation. The results of the proposed correlations are compared to others in literature. The comparison indicates that the proposed model is simple to use and more accurate than the most common correlations for predicting the enthalpy of vaporization of pure compounds and petroleum fractions.
