Upon cooling the Mg65Cu20Zn5Y9Zr1 melt, Mg2Cu acicular crystalline phase precipitates uniformly with a size of about 20 μm long and 1 μm thick while the remaining melt undergoes glass transition. Room temperature compression tests revealed that the high fracture strength up to 830 MPa and the plastic strain of 2.4% before failure are obtained for the Mg-based bulk metallic glass matrix composite. The formation of the Mg2Cu phase was proposed to contribute to high strength and plastic deformation of the material.展开更多

The unconfined compression test （UCT） is widely used in laboratoryto measure this parameter due to its simplicity; however, it is severely affected by sampledisturbance. The vane shear test （VST） technique that is less sensitive to sample disturbance involves acorrection factor against the soil plasticity, commonly known as the Bjerrum＇s correction factor, m. Thisstudy aims to reevaluate the Bjerrum＇s correction factor in consideration of a different approach and arelatively new method of testing. Atterberg limits test, miniature VST, and reverse extrusion test （RET）were conducted on 120 remolded samples. The effect of soil plasticity on undrained shear strength wasexamined using the liquidity index instead of Bjerrum＇s correction factor. In comparison with the resultobatined using the Bjerrum＇s correction factor, the undrained shear strength was better representedwhen su values were correlated with the liquidity index. The results were validated by the RET, whichwas proven to take into account soil plasticity with a reliable degree of accuracy. This study also showsthat the RET has strong promise as a new tool for testing undrained shear strength of fine-grained soils.展开更多

The studied casing specimens are as follows： original casing, plastic deformation（PD） casing and PD casing after being immersed in NACE A solution saturated with H2S（PD＋H2S）. Instrumented impact method was employed to evaluate the impact behaviors of the specimens, meanwhile, dynamic fracture toughness（JId） was calculated by using Rice model and Schindler model. The experimental results show that dynamic fracture toughness of the casing decreases after plastic deformation. Compared with that of the original casing and PD casing, the dynamic fracture toughness decreases further when the PD casing immersed in H2 S, moreover, there are ridge-shaped feature and many secondary cracks present on the fracture surface of the specimens. Impact fracture mechanism of the casing is proposed as follows： the plastic deformation results in the increase of defect density of materials where the atomic hydrogen can accumulate in reversible or irreversible traps and even recombine to form molecular hydrogen, subsequently, the casing material toughness decreases greatly.展开更多

It also makes comparative analysis of the microstructure and fracture of the tensile specimens by scanning electronic microscope. The result indicates that hot plasticity is almost zero when temperature is between 1200～1300 ℃. While hot plasticity of BNbRE(V) is better than BNbRE between 975～1200 ℃. Plasticity decreases with the reducing temperature from 975 ℃. Hot plasticity of BNbRE(V) reaches the minimum because of the precipitation of vanadium in the specimens reaches the maximum at 850 ℃.Vanadium largely affects the plasticity of steel in brittle temperature region Ⅲ and the embrittlement extends to lower temperature.展开更多

Hot deformation peak stress increased with increasing of the value of lnZ.Peak stress and InZ exhibits a linear variation,the linear correlation coefficient was 0.988 9.The results show that the dynamic recrystallization was prone to occur when lnZ≤43.842 26 and Z≤1.098×10^(19),and better hot deformation properties would be obtained under this condition.展开更多

This typic high strain rate induced plasticity - Increasing phenomenon is associated with adiabatic heating, strain twinning and suppression of strain - induced - phase transformation.展开更多

文摘In this paper,equal channel angular pressing and thermomechanical treatment was employed to improve the strength and electrical conductivity of an aging strengthened Cu-Ti-Cr-Mg alloy,and the microstructure and properties of the alloy were investigated in detail.The results showed that the samples deformed by the combination of cryogenic equal channel angular pressing(ECAP)and rolling had good comprehensive properties after aging at 400℃.The tensile strength of the peak-aged and over-aged samples was 1120 MPa and 940 MPa,with their corresponding electrical conductivity of 14.7%IACS and 22.1%IACS,respectively.ECAP and cryogenic rolling introduced high density dislocations,leading to the inhibition of the softening effects and refinement of the grains.After a long time aging at 400℃,the alloy exhibited ultra-high strength with obvious increasing electrical conductivity.The high strength was attributed to the synergistic effect of work hardening,grain refinement strengthening and precipitation strengthening.The precipitation of a large amount of Ti atoms from the matrix led to the high electrical conductivity of the over-aged sample.

文摘To solve the problems of high rebound rate and strength reversion of shotcrete,a non-fluorine and non-alkaline liquid flash setting admixture(FSN)with low rebound and high early strength was synthesized under 60-65℃water bath environment through orthogonal test design and taking setting time and compressive strength as indicators.The experimental results show that the optimum mass ratio of FSN is aluminum sulfate:diethanolamine:triethanolamine:pseudo-boehmite:lithium carbonate:water=57%:8%:0.05%:2%:2%:31%.When FSN is added with 7%of the mass of portland cement,the cement paste can be initially set in 3 min and finally set in 5 min.The compressive strength of mortar is 1.2 MPa at 6 h,18.0 MPa at 1 d,and more than 100%at 28 days;The microscopic analysis shows that the rapid release of Li^(+),NH^(4+),and CO_(3)^(2-)ions by FSN in the paste solution effectively shortens the induction period of high C_(3)S content in Portland cement,directly forms early coagulation AFt crystals in FSN and CH dominated by Al_(2)(SO_(4))_(3),and forms a large number of C-S-H gels in the later stage,so that the cement can quickly coagulate and harden,and the strength in the later stage is not retracted.
文摘Controlling inner-wall band segregation is one of the difficulties in the production of high-strength antisulfur pipes.Comparative tests were carried out on different casting processes(superheat,mold electromagnetic stirring,end electromagnetic stirring,casting speed and soft reduction)for the smelting of high-strength antisulfur pipes.The microstructures of continuous-casting billets and hot-rolled or tempered pipes were analyzed using a metallographic microscope and scanning electron microscope.The mechanism and evolution law regarding the inner-wall band segregation of high-strength antisulfur pipes were studied,and the influence of different casting processes was explored.
文摘The present work attributes the role of boron on the high strength steel submerged arc weld using an undermatching filler wire.Mild steel filler wire was used for welding in constant machine parameters setting to evaluate the joint strength due to the enrichment of boron.To change the chemical composition of the weld metal,boron trioxide powder was blended with virgin flux in various proportions(2.5%−12.5%),which led to an increase in boron weight percentage in the range of 0−0.0065.The results show that weld metals(WM)optical micrographs depict the various types of ferrites,pearlites and secondary phases like martensite-austenite(M-A).Acicular ferrite content was influenced by the boron trioxide addition.Heat affected zone(HAZ)micrographs were not showing appreciable changes with oxide enrichment.Hardness and toughness of weld metals showed the mixed trend with B_(2)O_(3) enrichment whereas,small reduction in ultimate tensile strength(UTS)and yield strength(YS)was observed.

文摘The effects of plastic deformation and H2 S on fracture toughness of high strength casing steel（C110 steel） were investigated. The studied casing specimens are as follows： original casing, plastic deformation（PD） casing and PD casing after being immersed in NACE A solution saturated with H2S（PD＋H2S）. Instrumented impact method was employed to evaluate the impact behaviors of the specimens, meanwhile, dynamic fracture toughness（JId） was calculated by using Rice model and Schindler model. The experimental results show that dynamic fracture toughness of the casing decreases after plastic deformation. Compared with that of the original casing and PD casing, the dynamic fracture toughness decreases further when the PD casing immersed in H2 S, moreover, there are ridge-shaped feature and many secondary cracks present on the fracture surface of the specimens. Impact fracture mechanism of the casing is proposed as follows： the plastic deformation results in the increase of defect density of materials where the atomic hydrogen can accumulate in reversible or irreversible traps and even recombine to form molecular hydrogen, subsequently, the casing material toughness decreases greatly.

文摘The analysis of plastic loosening zone of tunnels with cold condition,high in situ stress,and weak stratum is the key scientific problem of tunnel construction in cold areas.Based on the unified strength theory and considering the coupling effect of high in situ stress and low-temperature field,the analytical model of the plastic loosening zone of tunnel surrounding rocks was proposed,and the influence laws of physical parameters(initial ground stress,freezing temperature,excavation radius,and intermediate principal stress)was explored.The results illustrate that:(1)with the coupling of low temperature and stress fields,the in-situ stress has a more significant effect on the radius of the plastic loosening zone of the tunnel surrounding rocks,showing a nonlinear correlation.When the in situ stress is small,the influence of the temperature field on the radius of the plastic loosening zone is more obvious.(2)The radius of the plastic loosening zone of the tunnel surrounding rocks increases synchronously with the excavation radius and gradually decreases with the increase of the intermediate principal stress.(3)The greater the temperature difference in the low-temperature field,the tunnel stability has a more significant response to the intermediate principal stress and is positively correlated with the coefficient of the intermediate principal stress.(4)In the actual project,the proposed model can well describe the mechanical behavior and deformation characteristics of tunnel surrounding rocks in low-temperature environment,showing applicability.The research results are expected to provide a theoretical basis for the study of tunnel stability in cold areas.

文摘The text determines the hot plasticity of CC blank for heavy rail between BNbRE and BNbRE(V) under 1300～850 ℃ by using Gleeble 1500D. It also makes comparative analysis of the microstructure and fracture of the tensile specimens by scanning electronic microscope. The result indicates that hot plasticity is almost zero when temperature is between 1200～1300 ℃. While hot plasticity of BNbRE(V) is better than BNbRE between 975～1200 ℃. Plasticity decreases with the reducing temperature from 975 ℃. Hot plasticity of BNbRE(V) reaches the minimum because of the precipitation of vanadium in the specimens reaches the maximum at 850 ℃.Vanadium largely affects the plasticity of steel in brittle temperature region Ⅲ and the embrittlement extends to lower temperature.

文摘The hot deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of high manganese transformation induced plasticity steel(Fe - 20Mn - 3Si - 3Al) were investigated by using hot compression test in a temperature range from 800℃to 1 050℃and strain rate ranging from 0.01 s^(-1) to 5.0 s^(-1).The effects of temperature,strain rate,and true strain on the flow behavior and microstructures of high manganese transformation induced plasticity steel were discussed.The results show that the dynamic recrystallization occurs only at higher temperature and lower strain rate.Hot deformation behaviors of high manganese transformation induced plasticity steel were sensitive to temperature and strain rate.The apparent stress exponent and the apparent activation energy of the investigated steel were about 4.280 and 463.791 kJ/mol, respectively.The apparent activation energy of the high manganese transformation induced plasticity steel was approached to the austenitic stainless steel(400 -500 kJ/mol).The hot working equation is obtained. Hot deformation peak stress increased with increasing of the value of lnZ.Peak stress and InZ exhibits a linear variation,the linear correlation coefficient was 0.988 9.The results show that the dynamic recrystallization was prone to occur when lnZ≤43.842 26 and Z≤1.098×10^(19),and better hot deformation properties would be obtained under this condition.
文摘The effect of strain rate on plasticity has been Investigat-ed for three metallic materials with dynamic tension tech-nique. A phenomenon of high strain induced plasticity -increasing was found for tested materials. The elongation of quenched 30CrMnSiNi2A is 14. 5% under 40 m/s loading rate which is more than two times of the 7 % un-der 0. 5 mm/min. This typic high strain rate induced plasticity - Increasing phenomenon is associated with adiabatic heating, strain twinning and suppression of strain - induced - phase transformation.

文摘Fine-grained Mg-6Zn-4Y alloy was prepared by an ingot metallurgy process with hot extrusion at 300 ℃.The microstructure was studied by XRD,OM,SEM and TEM,and the tensile properties were tested at room temperature.The results show that the alloy is composed of α-Mg and W-phase.The microstructure of the as-extruded alloy has a bimodal grain size distribution.The fine grains with the mean size of 1.2 μm are formed by dynamic recrystallization.The coarse grains（about 23% in area fraction） are unrecrystallized regions which are elongated along extrusion direction.The engineering stress—strain curve shows a pronounced yield point.The ultimate tensile strength,yield strength,and elongation are（371±10） MPa,（350±5） MPa and（7±2）%,respectively.The high strengths are attributed to the fine-grained matrix structure enhanced by W-phase particles,nano-scaled precipitates,and strong basal plane texture.
