Ti-based amorphous metallic glasses have excellent mechanical, physical, and chemical properties, which is an important development direction and research hotspot of metal composite reinforcement. As a stable, simple, efficient, and large-scale preparation technology of metallic powders, the gas atomization process provides an effective way of preparing amorphous metallic glasses. In this study, the controllable fabrication of a Ti-based amorphous powder, with high efficiency, has been realized by using gas atomization. The scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive spectrometer, and X-ray diffraction are used to analyze surface morphology, element distribution, and phase structure, respectively. A microhardness tester is used to measure the mechanical property. An electrochemical workstation is used to characterize corrosion behavior. The results show that as-prepared microparticles are more uniform and exhibit good amorphous characteristics. The mechanical test shows that the hardness of amorphous powder is significantly increased as compared with that before preparation, which has the prospect of being an important part of engineering reinforced materials. Further electrochemical measurement shows that the corrosion resistance of the as-prepared sample is also significantly improved. This study has laid a solid foundation for expanding applications of Ti-based metallic glasses, especially in heavy-duty and corrosive domains. 相似文献
in-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) tensile tests on as-cast and aged 63Sn37Pb solder alloys were conducted, and the fracture
behavior in nanometer scale ahead of the crack tip was inspected and discussed. Results show that the fracture was completed
by connecting the discontinuous cracks or voids. Dislocation behavior was concentrated along the grain boundaries for as-cast
samples, and displayed mainly as dislocation climb. The crack was intergranular dominated under the lower strain rate. While
remarkable mutual dislocation emission was detected in the aged solder. Transgranular cracks were dominant in the fractured
area, and they propagated by linking up with the nanometer scale cracks ahead of the crack tips under the effective promotion
of the inverse dislocation emission. At the same time, the partial interphase or intergranular cracks in the thinned area
were also found. Under this condition, a new critical stress intensity factor Kc′ to define the mutual dislocation emission was proposed. 相似文献

Regularly dispersed Pt particles on SBA-15 supported catalysts were synthesized with a Pt loading of 5 wt% by a sol-immobilisation method, wherein various Pt particle sizes within 1–5 nm were finely controlled via the adjustment of the addition amount of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). A high PVA/Pt ratio of the initial solution tended to generate small Pt particles on the SBA-15 support due to intense protection against Pt particle aggregation. In addition, the effect of Pt particle size on naphthalene hydrogenation was investigated in terms of catalytic performance. Compared with the performance of other catalysts with Pt particle sizes greater or less than 3.5 nm, Pt nanoparticles with sizes centered at 3.5 nm exhibited excellent catalytic performance towards decalin. This excellent catalytic performance was mainly attributed to a suitable ratio of the edge sites to flat sites on these Pt nanoparticles, benefitting the rapid adsorption of naphthalene and dissociation of hydrogen.
Graphical Abstract
The Pt/SBA-15 catalysts were prepared by sol-immobilisation method. The highest performance was attributed to the Pt-nanoparticles with suitable flat/edge sites ratio.
Polypyrrole (PPy) nanolayers were introduced on the surface of alumina (Al2O3) particles via admicellar polymerization. The properties of silicone rubbers (SRs) filled with PPy-coated Al2O3 and pristine Al2O3 as thermally conductive fillers were studied and compared. The results demonstrate that the addition of PPy-coated Al2O3 leads to a better interfacial compatibility but lower cross-linking density of the composites than pristine Al2O3. The improvement in the compatibility and the decrease in the cross-linking density are paradoxes in affecting mechanical properties. The improvement in the compatibility shows a slight predominance on the strength at low-filler contents. Lower cross-linking density of modified-Al2O3/SR composites led to a better processing performance and a higher maximum filler loading amount than the pristine Al2O3/SR composites, which is beneficial to increasing the thermal conductivity and maintaining a relatively good strength. The PPy-coated Al2O3/SR composite with 83 wt% filler content has a thermal conductivity of 1.98 W/(m K) and a tensile strength of 2.9 MPa, and the elongation at break was 63%. Functionalized fillers by admicellar polymerization used in the fabrication of filler/SR composites not only improve the interfacial compatibility but also optimize and expand the functions of the composites, which has great significance for the production and application of thermally conductive SR in some branches of industry (automotive, electrical engineering, etc.) in the future. 相似文献
