In this research, core-shell nanoscale Al3(Yb, Er, Sc,Zr, Li) composite particles were precipitated in Al-2 Li-0.1 Yb-0.1 Er-0.1 Sc-0.1 Zr(wt%) alloy through the double-aging treatment, in which the core was(Yb, Er, Sc, Zr)-rich formed at 300°C and the shell was Li-rich formed at 150°C. The coarsening kinetics and precipitate size distributions(PSDs) of Al3(Yb, Er, Sc,Zr, Li) particles aged at 150°C previously aged at 300°C for 24 h showed a better fit to the relation of 2∝ kt and normal distribution, indicating that the coarsening of precipitates was controlled by interface reaction, not diffusion. The Orowan bypass strengthening was operative mechanism at 150°C.展开更多

Results indicate that, in addition to α-Mg matrix, both coarse Al;Ni;particles and fine Al Ni nano-particles exist in the Mg-Al-Ni alloys. The strength at 150?C is improved with the increase in Ni content. Mg-18.3Al-8Ni alloy possesses a compressive strength of234.7 MPa and a yield strength of 146.5 MPa. Plasticity is also improved with a low concentration of Ni. Mg-11.3Al-2Ni alloy possesses a compression ratio of 17.3%. The phases of Al;Ni;and Al Ni in the alloys block the movements of grain boundaries and dislocations during the deformation at elevated temperature. The existence of Al Ni phase provides a non-basal slip system, leading to the improvement in plasticity. Finally, the formation mechanism of Al-Ni phases in the process is discussed with thermodynamics and kinetics.展开更多

The associated hydrothermal treatment and the effect on the apatite formation were studied. The results suggested that TiO was generated under the condition of low vacuum （1 ×10^-2 Pa） during the process of burning out the spacer-holding particles. After hydrothermal treatment, a sub-microscale porous layer was formed at the pore wall surface of the samples. The apatite-inducing ability of hydrothermal treated porous sintered Ti-Ag compacts with different Ag content was evaluated in modified simulated body fluid （SBF）. And the results proved that there is a clear correlation between the apatite-inducing ability and Ag content. The higher Ag content in porous leads to the decrease of Na＋ ions and basic hydroxyl （OH）b amount, resulting in the decline of apatite-inducing ability in the first stage. However, their apatite-inducing ability was not significantly different from that of Ti after two weeks SBF immersing. Hence, the ionic activity should restore with the processing of SBF soaking, as the saturation of Ag effect.展开更多

Evolution of microstructure and mechanical properties of ARB-processed Mg-5Li-1Al sheets was investigated. Results show that, during ARB process, the evolution of deformation mechanism oft Mg-5Li-1Al alloy is as follows： twinning deformation, shear deformation, forming macro shear zone, and finally dynamic recrystallization （DRX）. The grain refining mechanism changes from twin DRX to rotation DRX. With the increase in ARB cycles, strength of the Mg-5Li-1Al sheets is enhanced, whilst elongation varies slightly. With the increase in rolling cycles, anisotropy of mechanical properties decreases. It is conclusive that strain hardening and grain refinement dominate the strengthening mechanism of Mg-5Li-1Al alloy.展开更多
