石墨烯增强钛基复合材料制备工艺与性能研究

以多层石墨烯为增强体,通过熔炼锻造(MF)和粉末冶金(PM) 2种工艺分别制备出规格为Φ10 mm的石墨烯增强钛基复合材料棒材。石墨烯在凝固过程中以TiC枝晶形态析出,变形后呈细小颗粒,其中Ti和C原子比约为2∶1。石墨烯和球形钛粉经过机械合金化和变形加工,在基体中反应形成薄片层。MF工艺对应的棒材拉伸强度可达476 MPa,延伸率保持在28%; PM工艺对应的棒材拉伸强度可达487 MPa,延伸率保持在30%。PM工艺可形成尺寸较小的薄片状石墨烯增强体,强化作用提升,同时塑性没有显著下降。     

银-石墨烯复合材料的滑动摩擦磨损性能

采用球磨混粉、冷等静压和真空烧结的工艺流程制备了含0.5%~2.0%石墨烯的银-石墨烯复合材料,并对复合材料进行销盘式摩擦磨损试验以研究其大气环境滑动摩擦磨损性能。研究结果表明,因石墨烯易团聚,石墨烯含量限于1.5%时能够有效改善复合材料的性能。与未增强的银相比,由于在接触表面形成自润滑碳质膜,银-石墨烯复合材料表现出较低的摩擦系数、较少的磨损量和较低的接触表面温度。随石墨烯含量的增加,复合材料的摩擦系数和磨损量均下降。复合材料的主要磨损机制为粘着磨损和磨料磨损。     

Monitoring Damage Evolution in a Titanium Matrix Composite Shaft Under Torsion Loading Using Acoustic Emission

The damage behaviors of a titanium matrix composite shaft under torsion loading were monitored using the acoustic emission technique. The composite shaft with SiC fibers at ± 45° orientations was prepared by the solid-state fabrication process. Both the torsional rigidity and torsional strength of the TMC shaft were improved by SiC fibers. The acoustic emission responses during the loading–unloading–reloading, under quasi-static and cyclic torsion tests were investigated. Multiple acoustic emission signals were grouped as mechanical noise, matrix deformation, interface debonding and fiber fracture using amplitude, waveform shape and frequency centroid parameters. A substantial reduction of signals generated by matrix deformation was found in the reloading test. During the quasi-static torsion test, interface debonding and progressive breaks of SiC fibers occurred. According to different acoustic emission behaviors, the failure process in the torsion fatigue test can be divided into three stages: the initial stage, the fiber fracture stage and the fast fracture stage.

Pyrazine-interior-embodied MOF-74 for selective CO2 adsorption

A series of pyrazine-interior-embodied metal–organic framework-74 composites (py-MOF-74) were successfully synthesized by a post-synthetic vapor modification method. Here, pyrazine molecules occupy the cavity to block the wide pores of MOF-74, which accentuates the difference in adsorption of a pair of gases on MOFs and consequently reinforces the adsorption selectivity. Different from the “physical confinement” of occupants, the pyrazine molecule with dual “para-nitrogen” atoms donates one N atom to bond with the open metal ion of MOF-74 for stability and the other N atom for potential CO₂ trapping. Typically, py-MOF-74c with the highest pyrazine insertion ratio displays selectivity greatly superior to that of MOF-74 in equimolar CO₂/CH₄ (598 vs. 35) and in simulated CO₂/N₂ flue gas (471 vs. 49). Py-MOF-74 entities are long-lived adsorbents, and their CO₂ capacity can be maintained even after storage for 1 year in air. Py-MOF-74 also showed a sharp molecular sieve property in fixed-bed cycle adsorption tests, which implies its great potential in real applications.     

Effect of ferroelectric polarization on piezo/photocatalysis in Ag nanoparticles loaded 0.5(Ba0.7Ca0.3)TiO3–0.5Ba(Zr0.1Ti0.9)O3 composites towards the degradation of organic pollutants

A 0.5(Ba_0.7Ca_0.3)TiO₃–0.5Ba(Zr_0.1Ti_0.9)O₃ (BCT-BZT) ceramic was studied for photocatalysis and piezocatalysis effects using dye degradation (methylene blue, rhodamine B, and methyl orange) and bacterial (Escherichia coli) disinfection from aqueous solution. To examine the effect of ferroelectric polarization, BCT-BZT powder was poled using the corona poling technique. Same time, BCT-BZT was converted into Ag/BCT-BZT composites as Ag induced surface plasmon resonance effect during photocatalysis. Piezocatalysis performance was assessed for dyes mineralization under ultrasonication. There was a significant impact of silver nanoparticles on the photo/piezocatalysis performance of BCT-BZT. Similarly, electric poling has also played a positive role in improving the photo/piezocatalysis in view of various dye degradation. These samples also showed effective antibacterial performance.     

Enhanced calcium–magnesium–aluminosilicate (CMAS) resistance of GdAlO3 (GAP) for composite thermal barrier coatings

The impact of calcium–magnesium–alumino-silicate (CMAS) degradation is a critical factor for development of new thermal and environmental barrier coatings. Several methods of preventing damage have been explored in the literature, with formation of an infiltration inhibiting reaction layer generally given the most attention. Gd₂Zr₂O₇ (GZO) exemplifies this reaction with the rapid precipitation of apatite when in contact with CMAS. The present study compares the CMAS behavior of GZO to an alternative thermal barrier coating (TBC) material, GdAlO₃ (GAP), which possesses high temperature phase stability through its melting point as well as a significantly higher toughness compared with GZO. The UCSB laboratory CMAS (35CaO–10MgO–7Al₂O₃–48SiO₂) was utilized to explore equilibrium behavior with 50:50 mol% TBC:CMAS ratios at 1200, 1300, and 1400°C for various times. In addition, 8 and 35 mg/cm² CMAS surface exposures were performed at 1425°C on dense pellets of each material to evaluate the infiltration and reaction in a more dynamic test. In the equilibrium tests, it was found that GAP appears to dissolve slower than GZO while producing an equivalent or higher amount of pore blocking apatite. In addition, GAP induces the intrinsic crystallization of the CMAS into a gehlenite phase, due in part to the participation of the Al₂O₃ from GAP. In surface exposures, GAP experienced a substantially thinner reaction zone compared with GZO after 10 h (87 ± 10 vs. 138 ± 4 μm) and a lack of strong sensitivity to CMAS loading when tested at 35 mg/cm² after 10 h (85 ± 13 versus 246 ± 10 μm). The smaller reaction zone, loading agnostic behavior, and intrinsic crystallization of the glass suggest this material warrants further evaluation as a potential CMAS barrier and inclusion into composite TBCs.     

Novel strong and tough Ta/TaHfC2 composites with multi-scale laminated structure

Ta-Hf-C ternary ceramics are good candidates for structural components used in extreme thermal environment. However, intrinsic brittleness greatly restricts their applications in reality. Here, we report a novel TaHfC₂-based composite with superior strength and toughness by employing Ta foil as interlayers to generate a multi-scale laminated structure together with the in situ formed Ta₂C MXene during sintering. Owing to the unique composition and microstructure, the tensile strength, shear strength, fracture toughness (K_IC), and work of fracture of Ta/TaHfC₂ have reached 233 ± 12 MPa, 64 ± 6 MPa, 13.16 ± 0.03 MPa·m^1/2, and 1726 ± 448 J/m² simultaneously, and all showed substantial increments when compared with TaHfC₂ monolithic ceramic and related Ta-Hf-C materials as showed in literatures. This study significantly improved the toughness of TaHfC₂, and it provides a new high-performance thermal structural material for the aerospace industry as well as a new idea for toughening ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs) of transition metal carbides.     

Multiscale SiCnw and carbon fiber reinforced SiOC ceramic with enhanced mechanical and microwave absorption properties

The hierarchical SiOC/SiCnws/CF composites (A/B/C structure) were designed via precursor infiltration and pyrolysis process. The SiOC ceramics served as the wave-transparent characteristic materials to adjust the impedance matching. Herein, the in situ growth of SiCnws not only was used for the absorber but served as the reinforcement of SiOC matrix composites. In detail, the SiOC/SiCnws/CF-1200°C-2 exhibits excellent electromagnetic absorption performance with minimum reflection loss of −46 dB at 14.4 GHz with the thickness of 1.6 mm, and its effective absorption band reaches 4.3 GHz. Its compressive strength reaches 8.69 and 16.41 MPa in z and x/y directions, separately. This contribution has a guidance for the application of carbon fiber/ceramics matrix composites in harsh environment.
