Superconductivity has recently been discovered in a plutonium intermetallic compound (PuCoGa5) at the surprisingly high temperature of 18.5 K. This article discusses the motivation that led to this discovery as well
as what it implies for the understanding of both unconventional superconductivity and the metallurgy of plutonium.

An approach to developing a damage prognosis solution that integrates advanced sensing technology, data interrogation procedures
for damage detection, novel model validation and uncertainty quantification techniques, and reliability-based decision-making
algorithms is summarized in this article. In parallel, experimental efforts are underway to deliver a proof-of-principle technology
demonstration by assessing impact damage and predicting the subsequent fatigue damage accumulation in a composite plate. This
article provides an overview of the various technologies that are being integrated to address this damage prognosis problem.

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has proven to be a useful tool to investigate the morphological and crystallographic
nature of plutonium metal and alloys. Its unique ability to provide direct visual as well as crystallographic information
on a very fine scale has given new insight into the complex nature of plutonium. Because of the limited number of TEM observations
performed to date, there is little doubt that this metal’s most intriguing microstructural secrets are yet to be revealed.

Efforts to measure the real-time corrosion rates of alloy 718 during 800 MeV proton radiation at currents up to 1 mA are reported.
Specially designed corrosion probes, which incorporate ceramic seals, were mounted in a water manifold that allowed samples
to be directly exposed to the proton beam at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. The water system that supplied the manifold
provided a means for controlling water chemistry, measuring dissolved hydrogen concentration, and measuring the effects of
water radiolysis and water quality on corrosion rate. Real-time corrosion rate measurements during proton irradiation showed
an exponential increase in corrosion rate with proton-beam current. These results are discussed within the context of water
radiolysis at the diffusion boundary layer/beam-spot interface. However, additional factors that may influence these parameters,
such as oxide spallation and charge build-up in the passive film, are not ruled out.

Plutonium is unstable with time because of its radioactive decay, but it is the peculiar nature of its electronic structure
that gives rise to phase instability with temperature, pressure, and chemical additions, making engineering applications particularly
challenging. This instability leads to an interesting array of phase transformations and microstructures.

Refining microstructure by severe plastic deformation to a nanometer range changes fundamental properties, such as the Curie
and Debye temperatures, and engineering properties of pragmatic significance, such as strength and ductility. These enhancements
originate in the combination of very small grain sizes coupled with specific defect structures. Ongoing research is rapidly
advancing the understanding of severe plastic deformation-induced microstructures, leading toward the commercialization of
these materials.

This article describes the authors’ use of the Weiss two-state model for Fe-Ni invar alloys to understand the anomalous thermal
expansion of Pu-Ga alloys. Studies on thermal expansion of Pu-Ga are reviewed briefly, and the two-state invar model is described.
The authors fit the available neutron-diffraction data for Pu-Ga alloys to the invar model and discuss the consequences.

Nanostructured materials produced by severe plastic deformation (SPD) are 100% dense, contamination-free, and sufficiently
large for use in real commercial structural applications. These materials are found to have high strength, good ductility,
superior superplasticity, a low friction coefficient, high wear resistance, enhanced high-cycle fatigue life, and good corrosion
resistance. This article reviews the structures and properties of nanostructured materials produced by SPD and reports recent
progress in determining the deformation mechanisms that lead to these superior mechanical properties.

Zr
100-xA1x (x ≤ 40) metastable alloys were synthesized by high- energy ball milling of elemental Zr and Al powders: supersaturated
substitutional cph solid solution for x ≤ 15 and an amorphous phase for x ≥ 17.5. We performed a calorimetric study of the
thermodynamics and kinetics of the metastable- to- equilibrium transformations of these phases. Their stability range (temperature/composition),
as well as the apparent activation energies associated with the transformations, were determined. The transformation enthalpies
were measured and used to determine the enthalpy of formation for these metastable phases. For both as- milled and relaxed
amorphous phases, the measured enthalpy of crystallization is compared with those estimated for an undercooled liquid. Different
amounts of retained entropy at the glass transition temperature were used to estimate the enthalpy loss upon undercooling
due to the excess specific heat.

March 1-4,1992, in San Diego. The symposium was organized by Philip Nash, Illinois Institute of Technology, and Ricardo Schwarz,

Severe plastic deformation (SPD) has emerged as a promising method to produce ultrafine-grained materials with attractive
properties. Today, SPD techniques are rapidly developing and are on the verge of moving from lab-scale research into commercial
production. This paper discusses new trends in the development of SPD techniques suchas high-pressure torsion and equal-channel
angle pressing, as well as new alternative techniques for introducing SPD. The paper also contains a comparative analysis
of SPD techniques in terms of their relative capabilities for grain refinement, enhancement of properties, and potential to
economically produce ultrafine-grained metals and alloys.

AbstractThe Truchas code was developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory under the Advanced Simulation and Computing Program. This open source multi-physics simulation software is designed to run in a scalable parallel computing environment. The capabilities of the code and numerical implementation are briefly described. The advantages and limitations of large three dimensional simulations will be discussed, and two example simulations are shown that demonstrate the utility of the fluid flow, heat transfer, phase change and solid mechanics capabilities. Validation of a code such as Truchas is a difficult task because of the complexity of the coupling between different physical phenomena being modelled and the poor understanding of phenomena such as heat transfer across interfaces. The challenges associated with verification and validation of complex simulation tools and integration into the design process are also discussed. 相似文献

Engineering Applications of Time-of-Flight Neutron Diffraction 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Time-of-flight neutron diffraction is widely used in characterizing the microstructure and mechanical response of heterogeneous
systems. Microstructural characterization techniques include spatial or temporal mapping of the phases and determination of
grain size, dislocation structure, and grain orientations (texture) within these phases. Mechanical response analysis utilizes
the crystallographic selectivity of the diffraction process to measure the partitioning of strain within the system. The microstructural
and mechanical response information is then used to develop more realistic constitutive models. In this article we review
some examples of such measurements, based on our experiences at the Lujan Center of Los Alamos National Laboratory. 相似文献

Conclusions When Frank Lloyd Wright designed Fallingwater, he must not have specified a steel grade or condition that varied from common
production available. Yet, it is notable that the Bessemer steel reinforcing bar had not deteriorated during service in the
concrete terrace. Also, the open-hearth hatch steel performed well, as severe corrosion occurred only at the concrete-bar
interface while the remainder of the flat bar, also exposed above the Bear Run stream for 68 years, showed only pitting corrosion.
Fallingwater has timeless interest as an architectural achievement, and some of the steel used to produce this landmark was
made using techniques whose time has passed.

The α′→δ reversion transformation in stabilized δ phase Pu-Ga alloys containing 0.5 wt.% and 0.6 wt.% Ga was studied using
dilatometry and differential scanning calorimetry. The α′→δ reversion was observed to occur as a series of transformation
bursts spread over a 20°C to 40°C temperature range. The enthalpy of the endothermic α′→δ reversion transformation was estimated
to be approximately 0.56 J/g for the 0.6 wt.% Ga alloy. Lower gallium was found to raise the α′→δ reversion temperature in
specimens cooled to −155°C from 44–48°C for 0.6 wt.% Ga to 92°C for 0.5 wt.% Ga. Repeated cycling to −155°C caused the reversion
onset temperature to decrease by ∼10°C. Raising the minimum hold temperature from −150°C to −125°C caused the reversion onset
temperature to decrease by 5–10°C. Annealing at 300–400°C was required to erase all traces of the effects of cold exposure;
material heated to only 200°C after thermal cycling displayed decreased reversion onset temperatures during subsequent thermal
cycling.
