Leaded brass rods C 38500 for automatic machining operations: A technical report

C 38500 is a widely used copper alloy with a great variety of applications from decoration and architecture to mechanical/electrical engineering. The chemical composition of this alloy offers superior machinability and subsequently increased productivity in high-speed machining and manufacturing processes. In European countries, this alloy is used primarily as free cutting brass (CW 614N according to EN 12164: 1998), similar to C 36000 alloy, which is used also for thread rolling. The lower percentage of Cu compared to C 36000 (nominal 58% instead of 61%) decreases the cost of the raw materials. This paper reports the principal aspects of microstructure, mechanical properties, and machinability of this alloy in relation to the industrial manufacturing process used.

工程机械用800MPa低合金高强度钢焊接接头断裂韧性评价

对调质状态800MPa低合金高强度钢及其焊接接头进行了系列温度的断裂韧性测试,讨论不同焊接方法对焊接接头断裂韧性的影响。发现板材的轧制方向对断裂韧性影响显著,LT方向试件的断裂韧性远超过TL方向试件的断裂韧性。在-60℃以上,母材处于上平台延性断裂范畴。在-80℃,裂纹扩展过程中有延脆断裂模式的转变。焊条电弧焊焊缝的断裂韧性与气体保护焊焊缝的断裂韧性相当。尽管常温下焊缝金属的断裂韧性甚至优于母材,但随着试验温度的降低,焊缝金属的断裂韧性迅速下降。在-20℃已发生断裂模式转变,这在结构服役时要引起重视。本研究为大型工程机械的断裂安全评定奠定了基础。     

表面氧化层对TiMn1.25Cr0.25储氢合金活化性能的影响

通过TiMn1.25Cr0.25合金粉活化前在空气中暴露不同的时间,探讨了表面氧化层的形成对其活化性能的影响。活化测试结果表明：合金的活化难度随着合金在空气中暴露时间的延长而加大。俄歇电子能谱(AES)结果表明,在空气中暴露后的合金表面形成了一层大约6nm-10nm厚的表面氧化层,正是这层氧化层的形成加大了合金的活化难度。扫描电镜(SEM)结果表明合金的活化过程与合金的碎化有着密切的联系。

Metal Single-Site Molecular Complex–MXene Heteroelectrocatalysts Interspersed Graphene Nanonetwork for Efficient Dual-Task of Water Splitting and Metal–Air Batteries

Development of multifunctional electrocatalysts with high efficiency and stability is of great interest in recent energy conversion technologies. Herein, a novel heteroelectrocatalyst of molecular iron complex (Fe_MC)-carbide MXene (Mo₂TiC₂T_x) uniformly embedded in a 3D graphene-based hierarchical network (GrH) is rationally designed. The coexistence of Fe_MC and MXene with their unique interactions triggers optimum electronic properties, rich multiple active sites, and favorite free adsorption energy for excellent trifunctional catalytic activities. Meanwhile, the highly porous GrH effectively promotes a multichannel architecture for charge transfer and gas/ion diffusion to improve stability. Therefore, the Fe_MC–MXene/GrH results in superb performances towards oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline medium. The practical tests indicate that Zn/Al–air batteries derived from Fe_MC–MXene/GrH cathodic electrodes produce high power densities of 165.6 and 172.7 mW cm⁻², respectively. Impressively, the liquid-state Zn–air battery delivers excellent cycling stability of over 1100 h. In addition, the alkaline water electrolyzer induces a low cell voltage of 1.55 V at 10 mA cm⁻² and 1.86 V at 0.4 A cm⁻² in 30 wt.% KOH at 80 °C, surpassing recent reports. The achievements suggest an exciting multifunctional electrocatalyst for electrochemical energy applications.
