Damage mechanism of composite cemented backfill based on complex defects influence

In order to reduce mining waste discharge and realize efficient application of tailing material in underground backfilling, the characteristics and mechanism of backfill damage is analyzed, and also the composed behavior and failure characteristic of cemented backfill. Five types of backfills were tested under uniaxial compression loading in SHT4206 electro‐hydraulic servo testing system. Based on the experimental results, the damage constitutive equations of cemented backfills with five cement?tailing ratios were proposed on the basis of damage mechanics and then validated. Research shows that the damage growth rate of backfills with lower cement?tailing is lower before peak value of stress, but it grows more rapidly after that. In addition, four backfill combination schemes were designed for mechanical test. Combining with research results on fracture characteristic of different backfills, a defects coupled constitutive model based on continuum damage mechanics was established. Research shows that the piecewise nonlinear model can well embodies effect of complex defects in backfills on the stress‐strain curve. Accuracy of the model is well verified by measured curve of backfill composite members. The results of this work provide a scientific basis for failure process prediction of backfills and reasonable matching design of framed filling.     

Hot deformation behavior and processing map of a Fe‐25Ni‐16Cr‐3Al alumina‐forming austenitic steel

The hot deformation behavior of a Fe‐25Ni‐16Cr‐3Al alumina‐forming austenitic steel was studied by hot compression using a Gleeble‐3500 thermal simulator. The compression tests were carried out in the temperatures range from 925 °C to 1175 °C and strain rates range from 0.01 s^‐1 to 10 s^‐1. It was concluded that the flow stress increased with decreasing deformation temperature and increasing strain rate. The constitutive equation was obtained and the activation energy was 420.98 kJ?mol^‐1 according to the testing data. According to the achieved processing map, the optimal processing domain is determined in the temperatures range of 1050 °C – 1075 °C and strain rates range of 0.03 s^‐1 ‐ 0.3 s^‐1. The evolution of microstructure characterization is consistent with the rules predicted by the processing map. During compression at the same temperature, the higher the strain rate is, the higher the hardness will be. The ultimate tensile strength of the steel is 779 MPa with a total elongation of 27.1 % at room temperature.     

High temperature flow behavior and constitutive model of alloy transition layer in composite steel tube prepared by centrifugal self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS)

Centrifugal self-propagation high-temperature synthesis (SHS) is a newly developed composite preparation technique by which a ceramic-alloy-carbon steel multilayer composite tube can be prepared. The hot deformation behaviors of the alloy steel layer at 800 °C–1000 °C, strain rates of 0.01 s⁻¹, 0.1 s⁻¹, 1.0 s⁻¹ and 10 s⁻¹ were studied by Gleeble-1500 thermal simulator. Rheological curve characteristics were analyzed under different thermal compression processes and a phenomenological hyperbolic sinusoidal Arrhenius constitutive equation was established to characterize the rheological mechanics of the material. The results show that the alloy steel is sensitive to temperature and strain rate, and its value of true stress decreases with the increase of temperature and strain rate. Thermal deformation process is the interaction between work hardening and dynamic softening, which is accompanied by the increase and extinction of dislocations. Under the strain rate of 10 s⁻¹, the stress-strain curve has a significant decrease when the strain exceeds 0.5. According to the observation of microstructure, this phenomenon can be attributed to the micro-crack generated by the local instability flow in the denatured zone. With the strain rate decreases, the softening mechanism of the alloy changes from dynamic recovery to dynamic recrystallization. The calculation results of the Arrhenius constitutive equation (AARE = 6.54 %, R = 0.99452) indicate that the model can predict the flow stress of the alloy accurately.     

Löslichkeit von überkritischen Fluiden in Ionischen Flüssigkeiten

A review of existing experimental phase equilibrium data for systems of near‐ and/or supercritical fluids (SCF) and ionic liquids (IL) shows that usually the SCF solubility increases with increasing pressure and decreasing temperature. Additionally, polar SCF are better soluble in IL than nonpolar SCF. The experimental data could be correlated by means of the Peng‐Robinson equation of state as well as the Van der Waals mixing rules. As a result, the experimental solubility can be calculated reasonably well using two binary interaction parameters.
