However, their polymer matrix composites are difficult to work at temperatures above 300℃, while their ceramic matrix composites must be prepared above 1000℃ in an inert atmosphere. Thus, for addressing the abovementioned problems, SiC/low-melting-point glass composites were well designed and prepared at 580℃ in an air atmosphere. Based on the X-ray diffraction results, SiC nanowires were not oxidized during air atmosphere sintering because of the low sintering temperature. Additionally, SiC nanowires were uniformly distributed in the glass matrix material. The composites exhibited good mechanical and EMW absorption properties. As the filling ratio of SiC nanowires increased from 5wt%to 20wt%, the Vickers hardness and flexural strength of the composite reached HV 564 and 213 MPa, which were improved by 27.7%and 72.8%, respectively, compared with the low-melting-point glass. Meanwhile, the dielectric loss and EMW absorption ability of SiC nanowires at 8.2–12.4 GHz were also gradually improved. The dielectric loss ability of low-melting-point glass was close to 0. However, when the filling ratio of SiC nanowires was 20wt%, the composite showed a minimum reflection loss (RL) of-20.2 dB and an effective absorption (RL≤-10 dB) bandwidth of2.3 GHz at an absorber layer thickness of 2.3 mm. The synergistic effect of polarization loss and conductivity loss in SiC nanowires was responsible for this improvement.展开更多

However, there are few reports about the microstructure characteristics on the strengthening and toughening mechanisms of powder hot isostatic pressed(HIPed) titanium alloys. Therefore, TA15powder was prepared into alloy by HIP approach, which was used to explore the microstructure characteristics at different HIP temperatures and the corresponding tensile properties and fracture toughness. Results show that the fabricated alloy has a “basket-like structure” when the HIP temperature is below 950℃, consisting of lath clusters and surrounding small equiaxed grains belts. When the HIP temperature is higher than 950℃, the microstructure gradually transforms into the Widmanstatten structure, accompanied by a significant increase in grain size. The tensile strength and elongation are reduced from 948 MPa and 17.3% for the 910℃ specimen to 861 MPa and 10% for the 970℃ specimen.The corresponding tensile fracture mode changes from transcrystalline plastic fracture to mixed fracture including intercrystalline cleavage.The fracture toughness of the specimens increases from 82.64 MPa·m^(1/2)for the 910℃ specimen to 140.18 MPa·m^(1/2)for the 970℃ specimen.Specimens below 950℃ tend to form holes due to the prior particle boundaries(PPBs), which is not conducive to toughening. Specimens above 950℃ have high fracture toughness due to the crack deflection, crack branching, and shear plastic deformation of the Widmanstatten structure. This study provides a valid reference for the development of powder HIPed titanium alloy.展开更多

Three groups of samples were quenched continuously with three fixed cooling rates, respectively, then subjected to a creep test under a constant load of 690 MPa at 700℃. Clear differences in size of secondary γ′ precipitates, creep properties and substructure of creep-tested samples were observed. The quantitative relationship among cooling rate, the size of secondary γ′ precipitates, and steady creep rate was constructed. It was found that with increasing cooling rate, the size of secondary γ′ precipitates decreases gradually, showing that the relationship between the size of secondary γ′ precipitates and the cooling rate obeys a power law, with an exponent of about –0.6, and the creep rate of steady state follows a good parabola relationship with cooling γ′ precipitate size. For 235℃/min, FGH96 alloy exhibited very small steady creep rate. The density of dislocation was low, and the isolated stacking fault was the dominant deformation mechanism. With decreasing cooling rates, the density of dislocation increased remarkably, and deformation microtwinning was the dominant deformation process. Detailed mechanisms for different cooling rate were discussed.展开更多

The effects of Ru on the microstructure and phase stability of the single crystal superalloy were investigated. γ′ directional coarsening and rafting were observed in the Ru-free alloy and Ru-containing alloy after long-term aging at 1070?C for 800 h. Needle-shaped σ topologically close packed (TCP) phases precipitated and grew along the fixed direction in both the alloys. The precipitating rate and volume fraction of TCP phases decreased significantly by adding Ru. The compositions of γ and γ′phases measured using an energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscope (EDS) in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis showed that the addition of Ru lessened the partition ratio of TCP forming elements, Re, W and Mo, and decreased the saturation degrees of these elements in γ phase, which can enable the Ru-containing alloy to be more resistant to the formation of TCP phases. It is indicated that the addition of Ru to the Ni-based single crystal superalloy with high content of the refractory alloying element can enhance phase stability.展开更多

The results showed that the softening degree of the alloy between passes decreases with increasing temperature and decreasing strain rates. The critical strain of the first-pass is greater than that of the second-pass. The true stress–true strain curves showed that single-peak dynamic recrystallization, multi-peak dynamic recrystallization, and dynamic response occur when the strain rate is 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001 s^(-1), respectively. The alloy contains three different grain structures after hot deformation: partially recrystallized tissue, completely fine recrystallized tissue, coarse-grained grains. The small-angle grain boundaries increase with increasing temperature. Increasing strain rates cause the small-angle grain boundaries to first increase and then decrease.展开更多

The results show that in a limited strain rate range of 0.001-0.1 s-1, the kinetic rate equation is obeyed and a linear fit is obtained at all the temperatures. The apparent activation energy is 322 kJ/mol in the α-β region and 160 kJ/mol in the β region, respectively. Power dissipation maps of this alloy developed by using Gleeble test data show three domains in the tested range. Superplasticity, marked by abnormal elongation at 700 ℃, occurs in the temperature range of 650-750 ℃ and at strain rates below about 0.03 s-1. Large grain superplasticity takes place in the temperature range of 750-850 ℃ and strain rates range of 0.001-0.03 s-1. Dynamic recrystallization occurs in the temperature range of 850-900 ℃ and at strain rates below about 1 s-1. The instability maps of this alloy were also developed.展开更多

The DD488 alloy was directional solidified by both HRS and LMC processes. The microstructure and stress rupture properties at 980 ℃/250 MPa were investigated by using optical microscopy(OM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), electron microprobe analyzer(EPMA), transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and stress rupture testing. The results indicated that the LMC process refined the primary dendrite arm and decreased the microporosity volume fraction and solidification segregations of Cr and Co in as-cast DD488 alloy. After standard heat treatment of 1,260 ℃/4 h, AC(air cooling) + 1,080 ℃/4 h, AC + 870 ℃/24 h, AC, the γ′ morphology in LMC alloy was more cuboidal than that in HRS alloy, and the γ′ volume fraction of LMC alloy was higher than that of HRS alloy. The stress rupture life at 980 ℃/250 MPa of HRS alloy was 76.8 h, and it increased to 110.0 h in LMC al oy. The LMC process increased the stress rupture life due to the higher γ′ volume fraction, more perfect rafting structure and finer interfacial dislocation networks.展开更多

A processing map was developed on the basis of these data by using the principles of dynamic materials modeling. The microstructural evolution of deformed samples was also examined on the basis of optical and electron microscopic observations. The map exhibits two domains: the instability domain at the temperatures of 1 050 ℃ -1 110 ℃ and strain rate of 0.01 s-1, the stability domain at the temperatures of 1 110 ℃- 1 140 ℃ and strain rates of 1 s-1-10 s-1, with a peak efficiency of about 40%. The dynamic recrystallization(DRX) is observed in the stability domain and the deformed specimens are no cracking or instabilities. However, there is no DRX in the instability domain and the alloy exhibits flow instability with cracks due to poor workability. The optimum hot working condition was determined in the stability domain.展开更多

The synergistic effect of polarization loss and conductivity loss in SiC nanowires was responsible for this improvement.

文摘Many titanium alloy subcomponents are subjected to fatigue loading in aerospace engineering,resulting in fatigue failure.The fatigue behavior of Ti_(2)AlNb alloy subcomponents was investigated based on the Seeger fatigue life theory and the improved Lemaitre damage evolution theory.Firstly,the finite element models of the standard openhole specimen and Y-section subcomponents have been established by ABAQUS.The damage model parameters were determined by fatigue tests,and the reliability of fatigue life simulation results of the Ti_(2)AlNb alloy standard open-hole specimen was verified.Meanwhile,the fatigue life of Ti_(2)AlNb alloy Y-section subcomponents was predicted.Under the same initial conditions,the average error of fatigue life predicted by two different models was 20.6%.Finally,the effects of loading amplitude,temperature,and Y-interface angle on fatigue properties of Ti_(2)AlNb Y-section subcomponents were investigated.These results provide a new idea for evaluating the fatigue life of various Ti_(2)AlNb alloy subcomponents.

文摘A fourth generation single crystal(SC)nickel based cast superalloy DD15 with 1%Ru,3%Ru,5%Ru was prepared using vacuum induction single crystal furnace in order to optimize the properties and cost of DD15 alloy.The exposure experiment of three alloys was conducted at 1100℃for 1000 h.The stress rupture properties tests were performed at 1100℃temperature and 137 MPa pressure.The composition optimization of Ru element in DD15 alloy had been studied.It was found that the alloys with different Ru contents all consist of cuboidalγ′phase embedded coherent inγphase.Theγ′phase of the alloy all has a size of about 300-500 nm and a volume content of more than sixty percent.The dimension ofγ′precipitates is reduced and uniform with increase of Ru content.Ru element can reduce the distribution ratio of high melting point element,so the microstructural stability is enhanced with Ru content increasing.No topologically close-packed(TCP)phase precipitated in the 5%Ru alloy even after 1000 h exposure.The stress rupture life of the alloy is significantly improved as Ru content rising.The raft breadth decreases slightly as Ru content increases.The specimen with 1%Ru and 3%Ru exhibits the presence of TCP phases and without TCP phases precipitated in fracture specimen with 5%Ru.The density and integrity ofγ/γ′interfacial dislocation network increase as Ru content of the alloy rises.

文摘The effect of cooling rate during quenching on the microstructure and creep property of nickel-based superalloy FGH96 was investigated. Three groups of samples were quenched continuously with three fixed cooling rates, respectively, then subjected to a creep test under a constant load of 690 MPa at 700℃. Clear differences in size of secondary γ′ precipitates, creep properties and substructure of creep-tested samples were observed. The quantitative relationship among cooling rate, the size of secondary γ′ precipitates, and steady creep rate was constructed. It was found that with increasing cooling rate, the size of secondary γ′ precipitates decreases gradually, showing that the relationship between the size of secondary γ′ precipitates and the cooling rate obeys a power law, with an exponent of about –0.6, and the creep rate of steady state follows a good parabola relationship with cooling γ′ precipitate size. For 235℃/min, FGH96 alloy exhibited very small steady creep rate. The density of dislocation was low, and the isolated stacking fault was the dominant deformation mechanism. With decreasing cooling rates, the density of dislocation increased remarkably, and deformation microtwinning was the dominant deformation process. Detailed mechanisms for different cooling rate were discussed.

文摘The tensile properties,electrical conductivity,and microstructure of the forged Al-7.1Zn-1.1Mg-1.6Cu-0.14Zr alloy were investigated after a two-step ageing treatment at 120 and 170℃.The results indicate that the strength of the alloy reaches the peak value at 170℃ for 1 h during the second step ageing and then decreases sharply.However,the electrical conductivity value increases continuously with the second ageing time increasing.The fracture mechanism of the alloy is intergranular fracture for 1 h and then changes to dimple transgranular fracture later,and the toughness of the alloy is improved significantly.The phases of η' and η are major precipitates in the alloy under the two-step ageing condition.Discontinuous grain boundary precipitates and precipitate-free zones along the grain boundary are clearly observed.

文摘The effects of chromium on the corrosion and the electrochemical behaviors of ultra high strength steels were studied by the salt spray test and electrochemical methods.The results show that ultra high strength steels remain martensite structures and have anodic dissolution characteristic with an increase of chromium content.There is no typical passive region on the polarization curves of an ultra high strength stainless steel,AerMet 100 steel,and 300M steel.However,chromium improves the corrosion resistance of the stainless steel remarkably.It has the slowest corrosion rate in the salt spray test,one order of magnitude less than that of AerMet 100 and 300M steels.With the increase of chromium content,the polarization resistance becomes larger,the corrosion potential shifts towards the positive direction with a value of 545 mV,and the corrosion current density decreases in electrochemical measures in 3.5wt% NaCl solutions.Because of the higher content of chromium,the ultra high strength stainless steel has a better corrosion resistance than AerMet 100 and 300M steels.
文摘The effect of surface recrystallization by heating after shot-peening on the creep rupture property and fracture behavior of a single-crystal superalloy was investigated.The results show that the creep rupture property of the single-crystal superalloy was greatly influenced by surface recrystallization.A recrystallized surface layer with a depth of 101μm resulted in a decrease in creep rupture life by nearly 50%,and an almost linear reduction of creep rupture life was observed with the increase of recrystallization depth.A lower strength of the recrystallized layer,inhomogeneous deformation between the recrystallized layer and the matrix,and stress concentration caused by notch effect resulted in the decrease in creep rupture life of the single-crystal superalloy.

文摘The effects of precipitates on the fatigue crack growth rate of AA 7055 Al alloy subjected to different ageing treatments were investigated using transmission electron microscope and fatigue crack growth testing.The results show that the T77 treated samples exhibit the lowest crack growth rate,while the crack growth rate of over-aged samples is the highest.In terms of the model based on the reversibility of dislocation motion within the plastic zone close to the crack tip,the improved crack growth resistance is attributed to many precipitates that are coherent with Al matrix in the under-aged and T77 treated samples.When the precipitate is coherent with the Al matrix,the larger the precipitate is,the slower the fatigue crack grows.The effects of grain boundary precipitates and precipitate free zone on the fatigue crack growth resistance are less significant than those of precipitates within grains of the alloy.
文摘Two experimental single crystal superalloys, the Ru-free alloy and the Ru-containing alloy with [001] orientation, were cast in a directionally solidified furnace, while other alloying element contents were kept unchanged. The effects of Ru on the microstructure and phase stability of the single crystal superalloy were investigated. γ′ directional coarsening and rafting were observed in the Ru-free alloy and Ru-containing alloy after long-term aging at 1070?C for 800 h. Needle-shaped σ topologically close packed (TCP) phases precipitated and grew along the fixed direction in both the alloys. The precipitating rate and volume fraction of TCP phases decreased significantly by adding Ru. The compositions of γ and γ′phases measured using an energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscope (EDS) in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis showed that the addition of Ru lessened the partition ratio of TCP forming elements, Re, W and Mo, and decreased the saturation degrees of these elements in γ phase, which can enable the Ru-containing alloy to be more resistant to the formation of TCP phases. It is indicated that the addition of Ru to the Ni-based single crystal superalloy with high content of the refractory alloying element can enhance phase stability.
文摘Hot deformation behaviors of TC11 alloy with β-annealed lamellar structure and forged equiaxed structure were investigated in the β field in the temperature range of 1 090-1 030 ℃ and strain rate of 0.001-0.1 s-1 by means of isothermal compression tests.Hot deformation characteristics and microstructure evolutions of the two starting structures were analyzed.And hot processing power dissipation efficiency maps were established.EBSD technique was used for testing grain boundary characteristic of deformation structures.The results indicate that hot deformation mechanism of TC11 alloy in β field is dynamic recovery accompanied by geometric dynamic recrystallization at large strains,or discontinuous dynamic recrystallization based on the starting structure states and deformation parameters.Accordingly,there are two different grain refining patterns.One is characteristic of new fine grains in the interior of elongated prior β grains that have serrated grain boundaries; and the other is that of new fine grains along elongated prior β grain boundaries.

文摘The change rules associated with hot deformation of FGH96 alloy were investigated by isothermal two-pass hot deformation tests in the temperature range 1050–1125°C and at strain rates ranging from 0.001 to 0.1 s^(-1) on a Gleeble 3500 thermo-simulation machine. The results showed that the softening degree of the alloy between passes decreases with increasing temperature and decreasing strain rates. The critical strain of the first-pass is greater than that of the second-pass. The true stress–true strain curves showed that single-peak dynamic recrystallization, multi-peak dynamic recrystallization, and dynamic response occur when the strain rate is 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001 s^(-1), respectively. The alloy contains three different grain structures after hot deformation: partially recrystallized tissue, completely fine recrystallized tissue, coarse-grained grains. The small-angle grain boundaries increase with increasing temperature. Increasing strain rates cause the small-angle grain boundaries to first increase and then decrease.
文摘The deformation behavior and mechanisms of Ti-1023 alloy were studied in the temperature range of 650-900 ℃ and strain rate range of 0.001-10 s-1 by compression and tensile tests. The results show that in a limited strain rate range of 0.001-0.1 s-1, the kinetic rate equation is obeyed and a linear fit is obtained at all the temperatures. The apparent activation energy is 322 kJ/mol in the α-β region and 160 kJ/mol in the β region, respectively. Power dissipation maps of this alloy developed by using Gleeble test data show three domains in the tested range. Superplasticity, marked by abnormal elongation at 700 ℃, occurs in the temperature range of 650-750 ℃ and at strain rates below about 0.03 s-1. Large grain superplasticity takes place in the temperature range of 750-850 ℃ and strain rates range of 0.001-0.03 s-1. Dynamic recrystallization occurs in the temperature range of 850-900 ℃ and at strain rates below about 1 s-1. The instability maps of this alloy were also developed.

文摘The influences of different directional solidification processes, i.e., the high rate solidification(HRS) and liquid metal cooling(LMC), on microstructure and stress rupture property of DD488 alloy were investigated. The DD488 alloy was directional solidified by both HRS and LMC processes. The microstructure and stress rupture properties at 980 ℃/250 MPa were investigated by using optical microscopy(OM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), electron microprobe analyzer(EPMA), transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and stress rupture testing. The results indicated that the LMC process refined the primary dendrite arm and decreased the microporosity volume fraction and solidification segregations of Cr and Co in as-cast DD488 alloy. After standard heat treatment of 1,260 ℃/4 h, AC(air cooling) + 1,080 ℃/4 h, AC + 870 ℃/24 h, AC, the γ′ morphology in LMC alloy was more cuboidal than that in HRS alloy, and the γ′ volume fraction of LMC alloy was higher than that of HRS alloy. The stress rupture life at 980 ℃/250 MPa of HRS alloy was 76.8 h, and it increased to 110.0 h in LMC al oy. The LMC process increased the stress rupture life due to the higher γ′ volume fraction, more perfect rafting structure and finer interfacial dislocation networks.
文摘The hot compression testing of hot isostatically pressed(HIPed) spray formed(SF) nickel-base superalloy was carried out by thermal mechanical simulator in the temperature range of 1 050-1 140 ℃ at strain rates of 0.01-10 s-1 and engineering strain of 50%. A processing map was developed on the basis of these data by using the principles of dynamic materials modeling. The microstructural evolution of deformed samples was also examined on the basis of optical and electron microscopic observations. The map exhibits two domains: the instability domain at the temperatures of 1 050 ℃ -1 110 ℃ and strain rate of 0.01 s-1, the stability domain at the temperatures of 1 110 ℃- 1 140 ℃ and strain rates of 1 s-1-10 s-1, with a peak efficiency of about 40%. The dynamic recrystallization(DRX) is observed in the stability domain and the deformed specimens are no cracking or instabilities. However, there is no DRX in the instability domain and the alloy exhibits flow instability with cracks due to poor workability. The optimum hot working condition was determined in the stability domain.
