Investigation of residual stresses on the boundary of SiC/SiC + 20% TiB2 composite materials joining by optic modulation–polarization method

The optical method of registration of internal stresses in composite materials is offered. The method is based on the modulation of polarization of laser radiation reflected from anisotropic media and the definition of its anisotropy parameters by means of this modulation. Residual stresses on the border of SiC/SiC + 20% TiB₂ joining, caused by the difference of temperature expansion coefficients, were studied by the offered method. The experimental curve of stress distribution is in a good qualitative agreement with theoretical calculation. The stress magnitude obtained by the given method well coincides with the values obtained by a Raman scattering method and diffraction of X-ray radiation.     

Tribological properties of Ni-based self-lubricating composites with addition of silver and molybdenum disulfide

Tribological properties of Ni-based composites containing silver and molybdenum disulfide were studied from room temperature to 700 °C. The composites were prepared by powder metallurgy technique and the phase composition and microstructure were addressed according to the characterization by SEM and XRD. The results show that the composites were composed of Ni, Cr₂O₃, Ag and Cr_xS_y phases after sintering. The best tribological properties were obtained when the silver and molybdenum disulfide contents were 20 wt% and 8.5 wt%, respectively. The tribo-chemical reaction occurred between Ag and Mo oxide during the rubbing process, which led to the formation of silver molybdate lubricating film. The improved tribological properties were attributed to the formation of silver molybdate lubricating tribolayers.     

Study on sintering technique of NiFe2O4/SiCp used as matrix of inert anodes in aluminium electrolysis

In order to improve deficiencies of NiFe2O4 spinel used as matrix of inert anode in aluminium electrolysis, NiFe2O4/SiCp were prepared by the solid state reaction for the first time. Microstructural changes were observed by scanning electronic microscope and phase was determined with X-ray detector. Effect of sintering temperature and times on density, porosity and microstructure were researched, and the reasons that caused the difference were discussed deeply. At the same time the thermodynamical compatibility of NiFe2O4 and SiC was proved under 1200℃ by DTA.The results showed that the microstructure was more homogeneous when the sintering temperature reached 1 180℃and the density attained their maximum about 6 h sintering. The appropriate sintering technique of NiFe2 O4/SiCw composite materials was 1180℃× 6 h.     

Thermomechanical fatigue behaviours of a third generation γ-TiAl based alloy

In order to clarify the behaviours of thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) of a third generation γ-TiAl based alloy, the influence of related microstructural instability during TMF process on stress–strain response, fatigue life and fracture way under in-phase (IP) and out-of-phase (OP) loading mode was investigated. Cyclic softening at high temperature (>700 °C) arises from the dissolution of α₂ lamellae and recrystallization of γ phase. Cyclic hardening at low temperature (<550 °C) is caused by strong interaction between dislocations. As temperature increases, the mean stress and remained plastic strain range increase, leading to severe TMF damage. Owing to the formation of superfine γ grains in IP condition, a superimposed effect of creep and fatigue damage contributes to the TMF failure. OP loading mode brings about the coarsening of primary equiaxed γ grains. Fatigue damage displays the intergranular fracture and transgranular cleavage fracture ways of coarse γ grains.

Model Algorithm Research on Cooling Path Control of Hot-rolled Dual-phase Steel

With the development of advanced high strength steel,especially for dual-phase steel,the model algorithm for cooling control after hot rolling has to achieve the targeted coiling temperature control at the location of downcoiler whilst maintaining the cooling path control based on strip microstructure along the whole cooling section.A cooling path control algorithm was proposed for the laminar cooling process as a solution to practical difficulties associated with the realization of the thermal cycle during cooling process.The heat conduction equation coupled with the carbon diffusion equation with moving boundary was employed in order to simulate temperature change and phase transformation kinetics,making it possible to observe the temperature field and the phase fraction of the strip in real time.On this basis,an optimization method was utilized for valve settings to ensure the minimum deviations between the predicted and actual cooling path of the strip,taking into account the constraints of the cooling equipment′s specific capacity,cooling line length,etc.Results showed that the model algorithm was able to achieve the online cooling path control for dual-phase steel.

CO2和H2O在活性炭上的吸附平衡和吸附动力学研究

活性炭是应用在变压吸附分离CO₂工艺中的常用吸附剂, 而工业废气中一般都含有一定量的饱和水蒸气. 通过吸附等温线和穿透曲线分别研究了单/双组份的CO₂和H₂O在活性炭上的吸附平衡和吸附动力学. 结果表明, 活性炭对二氧化碳具有较高的吸附量, 并具有较好的CO₂/N₂吸附选择性. 由于吸水官能团的存在, 活性炭在较高分压下表现出较大的水蒸气吸附量. 不过由于吸附机理不同, 水蒸气在活性炭上的吸附几乎不会影响活性炭对CO₂的吸附. 动力学研究表明, CO₂在活性炭上的吸附速率远大于H₂O的吸附速率.
