Mg-Al-Sr-based alloys (AJ alloys) have shown superior creep performance and tensile strength at temperatures as high as 175°
with stresses up to 70 MPa. Mg-6Al-2.4Sr (AJ62x) exhibits an optimum combination of creep resistance and excellent castability,
while AJ62Lx (strontium <2.1) has better ductility than other AJ formulations. The AJ alloy microstructure is characterized
by the Al4Sr-α(Mg) lamellar phase that forms at the interdendritic/grain boundary region of the primary magne sium matrix. Mg-5Al-2Sr
(AJ52x) contains a ternary phase that was tentatively named Al3Mg13Sr. When the strontium level is low in AJ62x, the volume fraction of Al4Sr is reduced, the aluminum supersaturation of the magnesium primary phase increases, and Mg17Al12 forms. In this article, a mechanism is proposed whereby the creep resistance decreases with the strontium level but the tensile
strength and ductility increase.

Nanocrystalline titania films codoped with aluminum and boron were prepared by cathodic vacuum arc deposition. In the process, titanium alloy target was used under an O2/Ar atmosphere, and sensitization of films were carried out by natural dye-sensitized complex in anhydrous ethanol. The structure, surface morphology and UV-vis spectra of titania films codoped were measured by X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy and ultraviolet-visible spectrometer. Theas-deposited films are found to be amorphous. The films annealed were examinedto be of anatase structure with orientation along the (101) planes, the averagecrystal size is in the range between 41 and 45 nm. SEM results show that thereare some pores in the codoped titania films, the optical properties of the dye-sensitized films were also measured which reveals that the spectral responses of films shift to the visible region. Under simulated sunlight illumination, the overall energy conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized nanocrystalline solar cell is 0.9%. 相似文献
Warm forming of magnesium alloy sheet has attracted more and more attention in recent years. The formability of magnesium alloy sheet at elevated temperature depends on appropriate processes, and the fabrication of high-performance sheet. In this research, an AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet with excellent performances is fabricated by the cross-rolling and the uniform annealing treatments. The uniaxial tensile tests are conducted using a Gleeble 3500 thermal–mechanical simulator, and the mechanical properties of AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet are analyzed. Finally, some limiting drawing ratio (LDR) experiments are performed. The experiments show that the LDR can reach 2.0 at the forming temperature of 150 °C and the drawing velocity of 15 mm/s. A warm deep drawing process is also simulated by the finite element method. The influences of drawing temperature and blank holder force on the formability are numerically investigated. The simulation demonstrated that variable blank holder force technology can improve the LDR from 3.0 to 3.5, and decrease the wall thinning ratio from 15.21% to 12.35%. 相似文献
The influence of the free gas volume around the substrate on the chemical vapor deposition of Al2O3 layers in the AlCl3/H2/CO2 system at different pressures and temperatures has been studied. Through the water gas reaction which occurs homogeneously in the gas phase, the Al2O3 growth rate increases with increasing free gas volume until a certain volume is reached, after which it remains constant. For this ‘critical free gas volume’ a theoretical characteristic dimension Lmax is introduced. It is defined as the normal distance from a substrate surface, at which the water molecules formed from the CO2 + H2 in the gas phase can no longer reach the substrate surface in the time available. The dependencies of Lmax on pressure, temperature and gas flow rate deduced through this theoretical consideration show agreement with the experimental results.
Zusammenfassung
Der Einfluß des die Substrate umgebenden Totvolumens auf die Al2O3-CVD-Abscheidung im System AlCl3/H2/CO2 wurde systematisch bei verschiedenen Drücken und Temperaturen untersucht. Durch die homogen in der Gasphase ablaufende Wassergasreaktion nimmt in allen Fällen die Abscheidungs-geschwindigkeit mit vergrößerten Totvolumen zuerst zu, bleibt aber ab einer bestimmten Totvolumensgröße konstant. Für diese “kritische Totvolumensgröße” wird die theoretische Kenngröße Lmax eingeführt. Diese Größe ist als Normalabstand zur Substratoberfläche definiert, bei dem das in der Gasphase aus CO2 + H2 gebildeten Wasser in der zur Verfügung stehenden Zeit die mit AlCl3 belegte Oberfläche der Substrate nicht mehr erreichen kann. Die aus dieser theoretischen Überlegung abgeleiteten Voraussagen über die Abhängigkeit des Lmax von Druck, Temperatur und Gasströmungsgeschwindigkeit zeigten Übereinstimmung mit den Versuchsergebnissen. 相似文献
