Deformation band and texture of a cast Mg-RE alloy under uniaxial hot compression

Microstructural evolution and texture of a cast Mg-9Gd-4Y-0.6Zr ingot under hot compression were studied in this paper. Post-deforming microstructures were characterized by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, while crystallographic orientation information was obtained from X-Ray macro-texture measurement and EBSD micro-texture analysis. Dynamic recrystallization (DRX) initiated from the deformation bands (DB) forming on original grain boundaries; the DB became widen with continuously conversion of low-angle-boundary grains into high-angle-boundary grains. The tendency of strain localization increased with Z parameter. The macro-texture analysis indicates that uniaxial compression yielded out the randomized basal texture component. This texture component was found to be strengthened with increasing Z parameter. The micro-texture analysis shows that the deviation from the ideal basal texture arose from orientated growth within DBs. Moreover, the localization deformation promoted dynamic precipitation within DBs, which inhibited the development of DRX.     

Structure inhibited pit initiation in a Ni-Nb metallic glass

A model metallic glass Ni₅₀Nb₅₀, which would undergo a polymorphous transformation during devitrification, was selected to clarify the correlation of amorphous structure with corrosion. The electrochemical polarization behaviour, film breakdown and composition of surface film have been studied in detail by comparing the amorphous alloy with its crystalline counterparts. Interestingly, it was found that the pit initiation is inhibited greatly on amorphous sample relative to the crystallized one. The origin is thought to be related to the defective interface beneath passive film that inhibits the formation of pitting precursors in corrosion.     

Effect of primary alpha phase variation on mechanical behaviour of Ti–6Al–4V alloy

Small punch tests (SPTs) have been carried out at room temperature to correlate the microstructural variation of Ti–6Al–4V alloy with that of SPT parameters. Microstructural variation in terms of different volume fractions of primary alpha phase of Ti–6Al–4V alloy has been introduced as a result of solution annealing at different temperatures followed by thermal aging. Small punch test parameters, i.e. total area under the load vs displacement curve, area under the zone of elastic bending, plastic bending and plastic instability have been found to increase from the content of 10% primary alpha phase to 20% primary alpha phase and then these are decreasing from the content of 20% primary alpha phase to 30% primary alpha phase.     

Microstructural evolution and relevant mechanical properties of Al-rich transparent magnesium aluminate ceramics

A novel phenomenon is found that the grain growth of aluminum-rich magnesium aluminate is suppressed to 5 μm, despite of high-temperature hot-isostatic-press at 1750 °C. For the transparent MgO-nAl₂O₃ (n = 1.2, 1.5, 2.0), the transmittance and strength tended to be enhanced with increasing Al₂O₃ content, having the highest values 80 % at 550 nm and 214.3 MPa for n = 2.0. This is due to the different microstructural evolution depending on the composition. When the excessive Al₂O₃ was small, the inhomogeneous microstructure with bimodal grain size and lots of rod-shaped particles were observed. However, as the Al₂O₃ amount increased, the microstructure became homogeneous with reducing the grain size and the rod-shaped particles. The microstructural and compositional analysis revealed that the rod-shaped particle were generated due to the trace potassium impurity as well as the different cationic diffusion rate, and the suppression of grain growth was induced by the severe Al segregation at the grain-boundaries.     

掺Dy的MgB4O7磷光体的研制及其热释光特性

以碳酸镁和硼酸为原料在高温条件下合成了基质材料MgB4O7并制备了MgB4O7∶Dy磷光体.用RGD-3热释光剂量仪和三维热释光谱仪分别测量了这种磷光体的二维发光曲线和三维发光谱,实验观察到:1)MgB4O7∶Dy磷光体热释光发光峰峰温为220 ℃和380 ℃;2)Dy3 离子的发光波长为480 nm、575 nm和660 nm;3)磷光体220 ℃和380 ℃发光峰的相对强度随高温固相反应温度的升高而变化,但发光峰温和波长基本保持不变.对比MgB4O7∶Dy和MgSO4∶Dy两种热释光材料的三维发光谱,验证了掺入Dy3 离子的热释光材料的发光峰峰温主要由基质材料决定,发光波长则取决于Dy3 离子的能级跃迁的结果.
