采用纳米压痕法通过循环加载卸载方式研究了最大载荷、循环次数及保载时间对Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu和Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu 2种钎料BGA焊点循环性能的影响.结果表明,Sn-Ag-Cu系无铅BGA焊点的循环性能具有很大的载荷依赖性,随着最大载荷的增加,BGA焊点的损伤累积增加且前几周循环中损伤累积很大,其后逐渐减小并趋于稳定;循环次数增加,使BGA焊点抵抗变形的能力稍有降低;保载时间增加,蠕变位移不断增加,蠕变和疲劳共同作用会加速焊点失效;Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu钎料BGA焊点的能量损耗大于Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu钎料BGA焊点.     

Spatio-temporal development of the endothelial glycocalyx layer and its mechanical property in vitro

The endothelial glycocalyx is a thin layer of polysaccharide matrix on the luminal surface of endothelial cells (ECs), which contains sulphated proteoglycans and glycoproteins. It is a mechanotransducer and functions as an amplifier of the shear stress on ECs. It controls the vessel permeability and mediates the blood–endothelium interaction. This study investigates the spatial distribution and temporal development of the glycocalyx on cultured ECs, and evaluates mechanical properties of the glycocalyx using atomic force microscopy (AFM) nano-indentation. The glycocalyx on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) is observed under a confocal microscope. Manipulation of the glycocalyx is achieved using heparanase or neuraminidase. The Young''s modulus of the cell membrane is calculated from the force–distance curve during AFM indentation. Results show that the glycocalyx appears predominantly on the edge of cells in the early days in culture, e.g. up to day 5 after seeding. On day 7, the glycocalyx is also seen in the apical area of the cell membrane. The thickness of the glycocalyx is approximately 300 nm–1 μm. AFM indentation reveals the Young''s modulus of the cell membrane decreases from day 3 (2.93 ± 1.16 kPa) to day 14 (0.35 ± 0.15 kPa) and remains unchanged to day 21 (0.33 ± 0.19 kPa). Significant difference in the Young''s modulus is also seen between the apical (1.54 ± 0.58 kPa) and the edge (0.69 ± 0.55 kPa) of cells at day 7. By contrast, neuraminidase-treated cells (i.e. without the glycocalyx) have similar values between day 3 (3.18 ± 0.88 kPa), day 14 (2.12 ± 0.78 kPa) and day 21 (2.15 ± 0.48 kPa). The endothelial glycocalyx in vitro shows temporal development in the early days in culture. It covers predominantly the edge of cells initially and appears on the apical membrane of cells as time progresses. The Young''s modulus of the glycocalyx is deduced from Young''s moduli of cell membranes with and without the glycocalyx layer. Our results show the glycocalyx on cultured HUVECs has a Young''s modulus of approximately 0.39 kPa.     

Mechanical properties of quasicrystalline Al-Cu-Fe coatings with submicron-sized grains

Quasicrystalline Al-Cu-Fe coatings with submicron-sized grains (∼ 400 nm) were produced by electron beam PVD. Mechanical properties of the Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystalline coating and a bulk Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystalline specimen with an average grain size of about 50 μm were examined using a set of micro- and nanoindentation techniques (with plotting stress-strain curves). It has been found that the length of the hardening stage in the stress-strain curve at room temperature for the coating is essentially greater, and the softening is weaker as compared with those for the bulk specimen. Possible reasons for such mechanical behavior of the coatings are discussed. Nanoindentation tests have shown that stepwise plastic flow is observed in both bulk sample and coating.     

基于EBSD方法测定单晶Cu纳米压痕的各向异性实验

为研究单晶Cu材料的各向异性力学特性,针对单晶连铸技术制备的单晶Cu,采用电子背散射衍射(EBSD)法对其3个不同晶粒的晶面进行定向,利用原位纳米压痕仪在不同晶面进行不同压入载荷的纳米压痕实验.通过EBSD分析,发现用单晶连铸技术制备的单晶Cu在拉拔方向上具有较强的择优取向,单个晶粒较大,且晶粒内部没有(亚)晶界存在.纳米压痕实验结果表明单晶Cu样件在各种压痕载荷下的约化模量为50 GPa～120GPa,材料的晶体取向对纳米压痕载荷-位移曲线和约化模量有很大影响,面(032)比面(119)和面(041)有更大的约化模量.不同载荷下,硬度值在0.8 GPa左右变动,晶体取向对硬度的影响较小.实验所得单晶Cu各晶面约化模量与采用金属弹性力学理论计算所得数值吻合较好.     

The Dissymmetry of Friction Stir Welding Joints and Va-riable Polarity Plasma Arc Welding Joints Study

2219 aluminum alloys welding joints were prepared by Friction stir welding (FSW) and Variable polarity plasma arc welding (VPPAW).The microstructure of joints was characterized by means of OM,SEM,and EDX.Microhardness measurements was performed to differentiate the joint zones and to evaluate the symmetry level of the joints with the help of nano-indentation experiment.The dissymmetry of microstructure and mechanical properties was found both in FSW joint and VPPAW joint.The dissymmetry in FSW joint can not be suppressed due to the nature of the mixing head,but the symmetry and satisfactory welding joint can be obtained by changing the working pattern of VPPAW.     

Tribological behavior and nature of tribofilms generated from fluorinated ZDDP in comparison to ZDDP under extreme pressure conditions—Part II: Morphology and nanoscale properties of tribofilms

Tribofilms generated using lubricants containing zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate (ZDDP) and fluorinated zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate (F-ZDDP) were examined. Nanoindentation yielded reduced elastic modulus and hardness as a function of the penetration depth of the nano-indenter for different loading conditions. The mechanical strength of the tribofilm was evaluated by conducting scanning wear and nano-scratch tests. Results indicate that load used to create the tribofilms plays an important role in determining their hardness with the tribofilms formed at higher loads exhibiting higher hardness. Tribofilms formed from F-ZDDP were more resistant to scratch and wear compared to ZDDP tribofilms. FIB measurements indicate F-ZDDP tribofilms were thicker than ZDDP tribofilms.

Nano-Mechanical Behavior and Nano-Tribological Properties of 316 Stainless Steel

The microstructure and nano-tribological properties of 316 austenitic stainless steel have been investigated by using the in situ nano-mechanical testing system Tribolndenter, in which six different normal forces were chosen to make a scratch and indentation. The results show that the contact depth of the indentation increases with the normal force and material is piled up on the edge of the indentation as plastic distortion. The stable nano-hardness and the reduced modulus of 316 austenitic stainless steel are approximately 6 GPa and 160 GPa, respectively. The friction coefficients of 316 stainless steel with conic-type diamond tip have a typical value of about 0.13, 0.15, 0.17, 0.19, 0.22 and 0.25 when the normal forces are kept at 500 μN, 1000 μN, 1500 μN, 2000 μN, 2500 μN and 3000 μN, revealing an increasing trend with the normal forces. The increase of the friction coefficient in the unloading segment may result from the adhesion force caused by the material piled up.
