Heterogeneous Structure Design to Strengthen Carbon-Containing CoCrFeNi High Entropy Alloy

A carbon-containing CoCrFeNi high entropy alloy (HEA) with heterogeneous structures was obtained through thermome-chanical treatments,which induced concurrent recrystallization and carbide precipitation in the alloy.A combination of high yield strength (556 MPa) and large uniform elongation (45％) was achieved in the investigated alloy.The enhancement of the strength is attributed to the combined effects of grain refinement,precipitation strengthening and microstructural het-erogeneity.Our work demonstrated that the heterogeneity design could be realized by thermomechanical processes,which provided a practical strategy for producing HEAs with high performance.     

临界淬火工艺处理高强结构钢Q690GJ的韧化机理

研究了QT(淬火+回火)和QLT(淬火+临界淬火+回火)热处理对高强结构钢Q690GJ微观组织及低温韧性的影响。通过金相、扫描电镜等方法,对低温冲击试样、无塑性转变试样进行了微观分析。结果表明:QLT工艺处理的Q690GJ钢低温韧性明显优于QT工艺。微观组织分析表明:QLT工艺处理试验钢组织为板条马氏体+残留奥氏体,临界淬火工艺形成了更多数量的、且较为稳定的残留奥氏体软相,提高了起裂前的塑性变形能力;同时形成更多取向混乱的马氏体板条束,有效阻碍了裂纹的扩展,从而提高低温韧性、降低无塑性转变温度。     

A temperature sensor based on the splicing of a core offset multi-mode fiber with two single mode fibers

In this paper, a temperature sensor based on the splicing of a core offset multi-mode fiber with two single mode fibers is proposed and demonstrated experimentally. The temperature sensing principle is analyzed and related experiment is performed. By controlling the core offset and splicing length of the specialty multi-mode fiber (SMMF), two sensors with different temperature sensing properties are obtained, and experimental results show that the temperature sensitivity can be up to 48.76 pm/°C in the range of 25—95 °C. Moreover, it has many advantages, including small size, high sensitivity, and simple structure. So it can be used in potential temperature sensing applications, such as industrial production, biomedical science, power electronics, and so on.     

A 3.16–7 GHz transformer-based dual-band CMOS VCO

A dual-band, wide tuning range voltage-controlled oscillator that uses transformer-based fourth-order(LC) resonator with a compact common-centric layout is presented. Compared with the traditional wide band(VCO), it can double frequency tuning range without degrading phase noise performance. The relationship between the coupling coefficient of the transformer, selection of frequency bands, and the quality factor at each band is investigated. The transformer used in the resonator is a circular asymmetric concentric topology. Compared with conventional octagon spirals, the proposed circular asymmetric concentric transformer results in a higher qualityfactor, and hence a lower oscillator phase noise. The VCO is designed and fabricated in a 0.18- m CMOS technology and has 75% wide tuning range of 3.16–7.01 GHz. Depending on the oscillation frequency, the VCO current consumption is adjusted from 4.9 to 6.3 m A. The measured phase noises at 1 MHz offset from carrier frequencies of 3.1, 4.5, 5.1, and 6.6 GHz are –122.5, –113.3, –110.1, and –116.8 d Bc/Hz, respectively. The chip area, including the pads, is 1.20.62 mm2 and the supply voltage is 1.8 V.

Fabrication of Transparent Dysprosium Aluminum Garnet (Dy3Al5O12) Ceramics via a Solid‐State Reaction Method

Polycrystalline, transparent Dy₃Al₅O₁₂ ceramics were firstly fabricated by a solid‐state reaction method using high‐purity Dy₂O₃ and Al₂O₃ powders. The fully dense Dy₃Al₅O₁₂ ceramic with an average grain size of less than 10 μm was obtained by vacuum sintering at 1820°C for 6 h. The in‐line transmittance of the optimized sample reaches 80% in the visible region. Scanning electron microscopy reveals that no secondary phases and almost no pores are observed at grain boundaries or triple junctions, and the fracture mode of the ceramic is mainly transgranular. The Dy₃Al₅O₁₂ ceramic is promising for magneto‐optical applications. Verdet constant of the Dy₃Al₅O₁₂ transparent ceramic is as high as ?0.41 min·(Oe·cm)^?1.     

Computational thermodynamics in electric current metallurgy

Abstract

A priori derivation for the extra free energy caused by the passing electric current in metal is presented. The analytical expression and its discrete format in support of the numerical calculation of thermodynamics in electric current metallurgy have been developed. This enables the calculation of electric current distribution, current induced temperature distribution and free energy sequence of various phase transitions in multiphase materials. The work is particularly suitable for the study of magnetic materials that contain various magnetic phases. The latter has not been considered in literature. The method has been validated against the analytical solution of current distribution and experimental observation of microstructure evolution. It provides a basis for the design, prediction and implementation of the electric current metallurgy. The applicability of the theory is discussed in the derivations.
