In this work, we successfully prepared a NAB/Zn composite using Zn wires by friction stir processing (FSP). During FSP, Zn-containing α matrix and (Fe, Ni)Al phases and nano α and CuZn grains with the size of less than 10 nm are formed on the top surface. The average microhardness of the composite is increased by 15 pct compared with the alloy without Zn, which originates from fine grains, CuZn particles strengthening, and more β′ phase.
Oriented materials are of great importance, but their formation is rarely described. Here, nine Al/Al2O3 systems were designed to identify the dominant factors. Electron back-scattered diffraction indicates that the new Al crystal(s) with one or multiple orientation(s) can be stimulated by one single-crystal Al2O3 substrates. Synchrotron radiation diffraction shows that the preferred orientation(s) is/are determined based on the initial stage of the liquid–solid transition. The nonpreferred orientation can be suppressed through competition.

In the current economic climate, budgets for the maintenance of public buildings are unlikely to meet the ever-increasing maintenance needs. Although it is unlikely that this problem can be overcome completely without an injection of further resources, it is possible for government maintenance authorities to improve the situation by ensuring that the best solution in terms of ‘value for money’ is achieved in the planned maintenance programme. A maintenance plan which is based on a rational assessment of priorities and up-to-date knowledge of the condition of the property stock will help to ensure the best use of available resources. Based on the multi-attribute maintenance prioritization model developed by Alan Spedding, Roy Holmes and Qiping Shen at the University of West of England, which is simple in practice and flexible from a management point of view, this paper presents the results of some further research into this area by modifying the original model using an analytical hierarchy process in deciding the weightings of the criteria set out in the prioritization model. This modified model is more quantitative and objective than the original model. The validation of the framework is also discussed. 相似文献
The effect of nitro-substituent on mononitrophenol (o-nitrophenol (ONP), m-nitrophenol (MNP) and p-nitrophenol (PNP)) reduction in a bioelectrochemical system (BES) was investigated in this study. The results show that the removal of all three nitrophenols was significantly enhanced with more negative cathode potential and shortened hydraulic retention time in the BESs. Moreover, the reduction of the three nitrophenols followed in the order of ONP > MNP > PNP in the BESs. Both quantum chemical calculation using density function theory and cyclic voltammetry analysis confirmed the reductive sequence of the three nitrophenols. In addition, the acute toxicity of nitrophenol effluent significantly decreased while its biodegradability was enhanced after treatment in the BES. Therefore, the BES technology offers bright prospects for efficient treatment of nitrophenol-containing wastewater. 相似文献
