Effect of commercial AB5 alloy addition on the electrochemical properties of Ml-Mg-Ni-based hydrogen storage alloys

A commercial AB5 hydrogen storage alloy was used as an additive to improve the electrochemical properties of Ml-Mg-Ni-based hydrogen storage alloys.The effect of AB5 alloy addition on the phase structure,charge/discharge characteristics,and electrochemical kinetics of Ml0.90Mg0.10Ni3.08Mn0.13Co0.63Al0.14 alloy was investigated.The maximum discharge capacity of Ml0.90Mg0.10Ni3.08Mn0.13Co0.63Al0.14 + 4 wt.% AB5 electrode reaches 406 mAh/g.The anodic polarization,cyclic voltammetry,and potential step discharge experiments show that the electrochemical kinetics of the electrode with additives was promoted,with the LaNi5 phase of AB5 alloy acting as electro-catalytic sites in the electrode alloy.The high-rate dischargeability of Ml0.90Mg0.10Ni3.08Mn0.13Co0.63Al0.14 + 4 wt.% AB5 alloy electrode at 1100 mA/g reaches 60.9%,which is 9.4% higher than that of Ml0.90Mg0.10Ni3.08Mn0.13Co0.63Al0.14 alloy electrode.The cycling stability of the electrode with 4 wt.% AB5 alloy has also been improved.

Phase equilibria among α (hcp), β (bcc) and γ (L10) phases in Ti–Al base ternary alloys

Phase equilibria between the α(A3), α₂ (D0₁₉), β(A2 or B2) and the γ(L1₀) phases in the Ti–Al base ternary systems were investigated over the temperature range 1000–1300°C. The tie lines and the phase boundaries were determined by electron probe microanalysis using multiphase alloys. It was established that almost all the elements except Zr tended to partition into the β phase rather than into the α, α₂ or the γ phase, while Zr mostly partitioned into the γ phase. At 1000°C, in the equilibrium state between the α₂ and the γ phases, V, Cr, Mo, Ta and W partitioned to the α₂ phase rather than to the γ phase, whereas Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zr tended to concentrate into the γ phase. The partition coefficients for the alloying elements were only slightly dependent on their concentration. Based on these data, the relative stabilizing effects of alloying elements on the α, α₂, β and γ phases are discussed.     

Phase equilibria and solid state transformations in Nb-rich Nb–Ti–Al intermetallic alloys

The solidification pathways and phase equilibria at 1100, 900 and 700°C in seven Nb-rich alloys of the Nb–Ti–Al system were examined. The as-cast microstructures revealed that all alloys had undergone β solidification, extending the range of the β phase field further into the ternary system than previously reported. Changes in the atomic site occupancy preferences with alloy composition were examined for the B2 ordered β₀ phase through atom location by channeling-enhanced microanalysis (ALCHEMI). A β to δ massive-like transformation observed in cast material, was reproduced in continuously cooled homogenized samples. The formation of a new phase, θ, based on the I4₁/amd body centered tetragonal structure was observed below 1100°C. In addition, a metastable hP18 structure, produced through an ω-type transformation of the β₀ phase, was also observed.     

焊缝几何尺寸对钢管承载能力影响的模拟分析

为研究高强X80直缝埋弧焊管焊接热影响区软化对管线运行安全的影响,采用ANSYS有限元数值模拟软件分析了焊缝几何尺寸对双面埋弧焊直缝焊管内部承载能力的影响.结果表明,由于焊接热影响区强度软化及焊缝余高的影响,最大应力出现在热影响区处,并受到焊缝几何尺寸的影响;在内外焊缝熔深一定时,钢管的承载最大压力与内外焊缝的熔宽间存在最佳的匹配;在内外焊缝熔宽一定时,适当熔深可以增加钢管的承载能力;另外,焊缝的几何尺寸对最大应力出现的位置有一定的影响.

采用金相显微镜、扫描电镜(SEM)、X射线能谱(EDS)、X射线衍射(XRD)、透射电镜(TEM)及布氏硬度实验研究了热处理制度对GH4199合金组织和硬度的影响。结果表明:在1080~1180℃进行固溶处理,合金硬度随着加热时间的延长逐渐下降,固溶温度越低,达到稳定硬度值所需的时间越长,且稳定硬度值也就越高;随着固溶温度的增加奥氏体晶粒逐渐长大,超过1120℃后晶粒明显粗化;在1120℃以下,固溶处理时间对晶粒大小几乎没有影响;合金组织中含有大量的碳化物,主要以M6C形式存在,也有少量的M23C6和MC。随着固溶温度的增加和时间的延长,在晶界呈链状不均匀分布的碳化物逐渐溶解、粗化。     

In-situ investigation on the pitting corrosion behavior of friction stir welded joint of AA2024-T3 aluminium alloy

The surface corrosion behavior of an AA2024-T3 aluminium alloy sheet after friction stir welding was investigated by using an “in-situ observation” method. SEM observations showed that the density and degree of the pitting corrosion in the shoulder active zone were slightly larger compared to the other regions on the top surface. The origins of the pitting corrosion were in the regions between the S phase particles and the adjacent aluminium base. The effect of Al-Cu-Fe-Mn-(Si) intermetallic compounds on the pitting corrosion was attributed to their high self-corrosion potential which induced the anodic dissolution of the surrounding aluminium matrix.     

Investigation on Static Softening Behaviors of a Low Carbon Steel Under Ferritic Rolling Condition

The study aims to postulate a theoretical hypothesis for the finishing period of ferritic rolling technique of the low carbon steel. The static softening behavior during multistage hot deformation of a low carbon steel has been studied by double hot compression tests at 700-800 °C and strain rate of 1 s⁻¹ using a Gleeble-3500 simulator. Interrupted deformation is conducted with interpass times varying from 1 to 100 s after achieving a true strain of 0.5 in the first stage. The results indicate that the flow stress value at the second deformation is lower than that at the first one, and the flow stress drops substantially. The static softening effects increase with the increase of deformation temperature, holding temperature, and interpass time. The value of the ferritic static softening activation energy is obtained, and the static softening kinetics is modeled by the Avrami equation.     

Synthesis and properties of mono-substituted liquid crystalline polyacetylene derivatives—doping,magnetic orientation,and photo-isomerization

Mono-substituted acetylene monomers with a liquid crystalline (LC) group are polymerized using rhodium, iron or molybdenum complex catalysts. LC polyacetylene derivatives with number-averaged molecular weights of 4000–330000 were obtained in 5–92% yield. The LC behavior is examined by X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and polarizing optical microscopy. The polymers prepared using rhodium or iron catalyst are confirmed to assume a cis form and to undergo an irreversible isomerization to the trans form upon heating. Photo-responsive polyacetylene derivatives are successfully synthesized through the introduction of an azobenzene moiety as a mesogenic core into the side-chain, and these forms exhibit a reversible photochemical cis-to-trans isomerization of the azobenzene moiety.
