稀土对AZ91镁合金干/湿循环腐蚀产物及阻抗行为的影响

采用扫描电镜(SEM)、X射线衍射(XRD)、能谱分析(EDS)研究添加(La,Ce)混合稀土前后AZ91镁合金在融雪剂溶液中经历干/湿交替循环腐蚀后腐蚀产物的组成和结构。结果表明:未添加(La,Ce)混合稀土的AZ91镁合金的腐蚀产物主要由Mg(OH)_2,MgO,CaCO_3及Mg_6Al_2CO_3(OH)_(16)·4H_2O组成;而添加混合稀土的AZ91镁合金表面生成了(La,Ce)AlO_3等含稀土元素的腐蚀产物,同时腐蚀产物出现致密层。不同周期干/湿交替循环腐蚀的电化学阻抗谱(EIS)测试结果表明,添加(La,Ce)混合稀土的镁合金在相同腐蚀周期的阻抗谱幅值均高于AZ91镁合金的阻抗谱幅值,稀土的添加有助于降低阻抗谱的弥散效应,表明(La,Ce)混合稀土可以提高AZ91镁合金在干/湿交替腐蚀环境中的耐蚀性和腐蚀产物膜的稳定性。

杂多酸掺杂质子交换膜的制备、结构及性能

作为含有多金属氧酸Keggin分子构型的固体强酸,杂多酸(HPAs)具有优异的吸水性、质子传导性(cp)、机械、热及化学稳定性。HPA掺杂陶瓷或聚合物质子交换膜(PEMs)可以有效提高复合PEMs的亲水性、cp、燃料阻隔性、机械、热及化学稳定性,同时显著降低其cp及燃料阻隔性的温度与湿度依赖性。当HPA掺杂陶瓷时,两者之间的氢键作用导致HPA在基体中的流失率低、分散性强且掺杂量高,此时复合PEMs的cp(10~(-1) S/cm数量级)较基体PEMs(10~(-3)~10~(-2) S/cm)大幅升高;而当HPA掺杂磺化聚合物时,两者之间的静电排斥力造成HPA在基体中的流失率高、分散性差且掺杂量低,此时复合PEMs的cp(10~(-1) S/cm数量级)较基体PEMs(10~(-2)~10~(-1) S/cm)仅小幅升高。为了有效降低HPA在聚合物基体中的流失率,可以采用聚合物膜"三明治"状包覆复合PEMs、盐化HPA、改性基体或通过第三组分负载HPA以分别在HPA与基体或负载之间形成氢键或静电引力等手段;对于HPA的负载改性,由于陶瓷或聚合物负载在基体中易团簇,相应地HPA在基体中的分散性与掺杂量并未提高。有时采用HPA与吸水性较强的磷酸共掺杂陶瓷基体或负载,以协同提高复合PEMs的cp,然而效果并不显著。以上各种结构的HPA掺杂PEMs通常由溶液浇铸法、自组装法、溶胶-凝胶法及浸润法等制备;不同方法往往相互关联,即制备过程可能涉及两种或3种方法的耦合使用。改性HPA或其负载以显著提高HPA在磺化聚合物基体中的分散性与掺杂量,借此构建全新、高效的质子传输通道形态以实现复合PEMs的超高cp(100S/cm数量级),是今后PEMs技术的重点发展方向之一。

Experimental investigation on preparation and performance of clear asphalt

Abstract

Coloured micro-surfacing technology has become increasingly popular in pavement construction because of its economic benefit and ability to accept traffic quickly. The main goal of this study was to produce a clear asphalt with superior performance that can be easily emulsified. Two types of resin that are easy to emulsify and one kind of extract oil were used to synthesise the clear asphalt. The clear asphalt was mixed with a styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) modifier at different proportions using a mechanical agitator. The physical properties of the samples were determined via conventional bitumen tests and the optimum formula was obtained by changing the mixture ratio through orthogonal experimentation. The thin-film oven test evaluated the ageing property of the clear asphalt. The surface energy components corresponding to the advancing process and the receding process were determined using the Wilhelmy plate method. The surface free energy (SFE) of the aggregates was measured with a gravimetric sorption analyser. The adhesive bond energies between asphalt samples and aggregates were calculated using their SFE components to evaluate their properties of fracture and healing. Results show that depending on the amount and type of resin added, different synthetic clear asphalts can be obtained. Further, the clear asphalt mixed with SBS is capable of synthesising better properties at high or low temperature. The clear asphalt with aggregates had fracture and healing properties similar to common base asphalt.     

Experimental investigations on nanogrinding of RB-SiC wafers

Nanogrinding experiments are performed to investigate the processing characteristics and material removal mechanism of reaction-bonded silicon carbide (RB-SiC) wafers on an ultraprecision grinder using the cup wheel. #120, #600 diamond wheels are used as coarse and semifinished grinding wheels, while #2000 and #12000 diamond wheels are selected as fine and finish grinding wheels, respectively. The experimental results indicate that an ultrasmooth surface with roughness value R_a less than 3?nm and groove depth about 5?nm can be achieved using a diamond wheel whose mesh size exceeds 2000. In addition, R_a less than 1?nm and groove depth about 2?nm will be obtained with a #12000 diamond wheel. The present study reveals the feasibility of ultraprecision grinding RB-SiC materials in the ductile regime and provides technological insights into nanogrinding of hard materials with an ultrasmooth surface.     

Nucleation Crystallography of Ni Grains on CrFeNb Inoculants Investigated by Edge‐to‐Edge Matching Model in an IN718 Superalloy

In this work, the nucleation crystallography of CrFeNb intermetallic particles as a grain refiner for Ni‐based IN718 superalloys is studied using Edge‐to‐Edge Matching model. Three distinguishable orientation relationships between CrFeNb intermetallic particles and Ni grains are well predicted: , (111)_Ni 1.28° from (0004)_CrFeNb, , (111)_Ni 1.32° from _CrFeNb, and _Ni//[0001]_CrFeNb, (111)_Ni 0.72° from _CrFeNb. The results indicate that CrFeNb intermetallic particles have a strong nucleation potency as an effective grain refiner for Ni‐based superalloy and the existence of semi‐coherent interfaces between the CrFeNb intermetallic particles and Ni grains. Furthermore, the IN718 superalloy is used to experimentally validate the grain refinement effect of CrFeNb intermetallic particles, showing that its grain size is obviously refined from 8.60 to 1.23 mm. And, the corresponding heterogeneous nucleation mechanism of grain refinement at the atomic level is further identified.

     

Enhanced Thermal Conductivity of 5A Molecular Sieve with BNs Segregated Structures

5A molecular sieves have been widely used as adsorbents in cryogenic distillation for hydrogen isotope separation in fusion reactor engineering, but its low thermal conductivity is detrimental to the process stability. Improving the thermal conductivity of 5A molecular sieves is one of the most important goals for high‐performance devices. Here, firm segregated structures with boron nitride sheets (BNs) are constructed around 5A molecular sieve particles. SEM results show 30 µm BNs tend to form the better networks in comparison with that of 0.12 µm BNs at 40 wt% loadings. It is further verified that BNs with the larger size promote the thermal conductivity. Meanwhile, the thermal conductivity increases with the increasing amounts of BNs. XRD and specific surface area results indicate that the sintering and the addition of BNs exert negligible effects on the structure of 5A molecular sieve. These results indirectly show 5A molecular sieve with BNs segregated structures is very likely to be used for the application of hydrogen isotopic separation. Besides, this work provides new insight into the construction of segregated structure in inorganic porous materials.
