High-temperature deformation in bulk polycrystalline hafnium carbide consolidated using spark plasma sintering

In this study, we report the three-point flexural strength and fracture toughness of monolithic hafnium carbide up to 2000 °C. HfC with different grain sizes was consolidated using the spark plasma sintering method. Coarse-grained monoliths showed a weak dependence on the strain rate during high-temperature tests at 1600 °C–2000 °C. In contrast, results for the ceramics with a grain size below 20 μm indicated a positive dependence of the yield strength vs strain rate. This allowed us to identify the activation energy for high-temperature deformation in flexure as 370 kJ/mol. This level of activation energy is in satisfactory agreement with reports about the diffusion of C in hafnium carbide.     

激光在线测厚振动分析与精度优化

激光测厚具有安全可靠、测量精度高、测量范围大等优点,广泛应用于纸张、电池极片等薄膜类材料厚度的在线测量。带材宽幅方向扫描测厚时由于扫描架往复运动会产生机械振动,影响在线测厚精度。针对该问题,以锂离子电池极片厚度测量为例,使用双激光差动式测厚平台对电池极片和铜箔分别进行厚度测量,然后对测厚数据进行频谱分析,探究其振动规律的相似性,并基于频谱分析结果采用滑动带阻滤波方式对测厚数据进行处理,滤波后极片和铜箔的厚度极差分别降低了33.4%和73.8%,有效过滤了机械振动导致的测量误差,可满足极片和铜箔厚度测量的精度要求。

Effect of heat treatment on the roughness and mechanical properties of dental lithium disilicate glass-ceramics

In dental clinics, it is common to perform small fitting adjustments in dentures using a micro-grinding tool after testing them in the patient's mouth. This procedure increases local roughness and can lead to formation of microcracks on the prosthesis surface. This study aimed to investigate the benefits of a post-finishing heat treatment to surface roughness and crack healing and its effect on the flexural strength of lithium disilicate (LD) dental glass-ceramics. Commercially available lithium metasilicate, Li₂SiO₃, samples were heat treated at 840 °C for 7 min to induce the phase transformation into LD, Li₂Si₂O₅. The LD samples were characterized by X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Vickers hardness, Young’s modulus, and fracture toughness. One of the surfaces of the LD samples was sanded aiming to simulate the denture fitting adjustments performed in the dentist’s laboratory, generating a rough surface, Group 1. Half of the LD samples had their biaxial flexural strength evaluated by the piston-on-three-ball test (P–3B) and the other half were submitted to a second short-term heat treatment (840 °C - 5 min), Group 2, and later assessed by the P–3B. Roughness parameters in both groups were measured by 3D optical profilometry. After the crystallization heat treatment, formation of elongated LD crystals, Li₂Si₂O₅, 35% amorphous phase, and residual Li₃PO₄ was observed. In addition, the following mechanical property values were obtained: Vickers hardness = 5.8 ± 0.1 GPa, fracture toughness = 2.2 ± 0.1 MPa m^1/2, and Young’s modulus = 100.3 ± 0.3 GPa. The samples in Group 1 showed bending strength of 206 ± 30 MPa and the following roughness parameters: Ra = 0.45 ± 0.16 μm, Rz = 22.7 ± 6.7 μm, and PV = 27.7 ± 7.1 μm. In the samples in Group 2, the Ra, Rz and PV roughness parameters were 0.31 ± 0.12 μm, 5.2 ± 2.5 μm, and 9.2 ± 4.7 μm, respectively. With this decrease in roughness, the bending strength increased by 62%, with a mean value of 331 ± 59 MPa. In the need for machine finishing of LD-based glass-ceramic dental prostheses, the use of a second short-term heat treatment at 840 °C for 5 min generates considerable gains in bending strength, increasing the lifecycle of the prosthesis as a result of reduced surface roughness caused by softening of the remaining amorphous phase in the glass-ceramic. These conditions can be adapted to each chemical and crystallographic composition of the glass-ceramic under study.

Mathematical law of size effect on the flexural property of ceramics

Brittle materials generally exhibit size effects, and the mechanical properties of these materials degrade significantly with an increase in size. However, the mathematical law governing the attenuation degree of mechanical properties with the increase in size is still unknown. In this study, maximum loads of differently sized ceramic test strips were subjected to three point bending tests under two working conditions of equal spans and span amplifications, respectively. Subsequently, the theoretical maximum loads of materials were calculated using the finite element method (FEM). By calculating the difference between the calculated values and the actual maximum loads, the attenuation of mechanical properties of ceramic samples were observed. The results show that the theoretical mechanical properties and the performance attenuation caused by the size effect tend to increase according to the following equation: y=ax³+bx²+cx+d. Therefore, mechanical properties and performance attenuation of any sample exhibiting a size within the experimental range can be predicted by a mathematical law, which was obtained through mechanical tests results of four samples with different sizes. The obtained mathematical law holds great significance for predicting the mechanical properties of materials under size effects.     

条形药包爆破震动场的试验研究

通过时条形药包周围实测爆破震动数据采用数值计算方法进行处理，作出了条形药包周围的爆破震动场，使我们对条形药包的爆破地震效应有了全面的认识，从而在实际工程爆破中能够有针对性地进行安全防护。分析研究认为：条形药包周围的震动场由一系列同心椭圆形等震线组成。在爆破近区由于位置因素的影响，等震线的长轴与药包轴线重合；在远区的震动主要受波动干涉作用的影响，致使长轴与药包轴线垂直，因此不能采用集中药包的计算方法。     

不同段数爆破地震波的反应谱分析

为了研究段数对反应谱特性的影响,基于某石方控制爆破工程爆破振动实测数据,对不同段数爆破振动信号进行了反应谱分析。首先,利用实测的爆破振动速度信号采用直接微分法获得了加速度信号,并利用EEMD分解对加速度信号进行低通滤波去噪处理,获得了准确清晰的加速度曲线。然后,利用精确法求得了不同段数下爆破振动信号的速度反应谱和标准速度反应谱。分析结果表明:不同段数的爆破振动质点峰值速度与速度反应谱的峰值速度并不存在对应关系,因此分段数的选择应综合考虑结构对爆破振动的动态响应。     

梁结构振动支承约束反力控制
