    查看更多>>摘要:This work systematically investigates the densification,microstructure evolution and the attainment of high strength-duc-tility in Ti-13Nb-13Zr-2Ta alloy processed by laser powder bed fusion(LPBF).A narrow and viable process window(Plaser power=175 W,vscanning speed=1000 mm/s,hscanning distance=0.1 mm and dlayer thickness=0.03 mm)was accordingly deter-mined and the relative density of Ti-13Nb-13Zr-2Ta alloy reaches 99.76%.The depth of molten pool increases gradually with the increase of energy density,and the relationship between the depth of molten pool and energy density has been quantitatively described.Three types of α'martensites with average grain width less than 3 μm can be observed in the LPBF-fabricated Ti-13Nb-13Zr-2Ta alloys,attributed to the significantly high cooling rate and remelting process.The fine grain size,high density dislocations,nanotwins,ordered oxygen complexes and α+α"heterostructure all contributed to the high strength(1037.75±25.18 MPa)and ductility(20.32%±1.39%)of LPBF-fabricated Ti-13Nb-13Zr-2Ta alloy in this work.

    查看更多>>摘要:It is extremely difficult to strengthen bulk aluminum(Al)by twins,due to its high stacking fault energy under standard loading conditions.In this study,a simple yet effective solution was proposed for introducing twins to strengthen bulk Al.The method involves the addition of nanoparticles with high volume fraction combined with the tailoring of sintering temperature toward the melting point of Al during hot pressing.Sintering temperature plays an important role in forming twins in bulk Al containing high content nanoparticles.The twin content increases with increasing sintering temperature in the range of 590-640 ℃.At sintering temperature of 640 ℃,the twin content reaches 17%,enabling the significant improvement in the yield strength of the bulk Al from 251 to 400 MPa,compared with the sample with few or no twins.The twin strengthening may serve as a major strengthening mechanism for bulk Al,and its strengthening contribution is comparable to the dominant Orowan strengthening resulting from the added nanoparticles.

    查看更多>>摘要:This study unpicks the influence of the glass tube suction casting(GTSC)with different inner diameters(8,10,12 and 14 mm)on the solidification process of the hypereutectic Al-Si alloy(A390)and dissects the underlying mechanisms of the Al-Si divorced eutectic and refinement degree of the primary silicon particles(PSPs).The results show that a smaller inner diameter of the glass tube is more favorable for achieving Al-Si divorced eutectic in GTSC A390 alloy.Conversely,a larger inner diameter is more conducive to the formation of the lamellar eutectic Si.The GTSC A390 alloy with an inner diameter of 10 mm achieves the smallest average equivalent diameter(approximately 7.4 μm)of the PSPs.Being the prior diffusion channels for solute atoms,the grain boundaries and twin growth grooves of PSPs attract solute atoms(Cu,Mg,etc.)to enrich.The enriched solute atoms occupy the diffusion destinations of some Si atoms,which limits the overall growth of PSPs.These findings provide new insights into developing a simple and effective manufacturing process to refine the primary and eutectic Si phases in hypereutectic Al-Si alloys.

    查看更多>>摘要:The refined explicit finite element scheme considering various strengthening mechanisms and damage modes is proposed for simulation of deformation processes and mechanical properties of carbon nanotube(CNT)-reinforced bimodal-grained aluminum matrix nanocomposites.Firstly,the detailed microstructure model is established by constructing the geometry models of CNTs and grain boundaries,which automatically incorporates grain refinement strengthening and load transfer effect.Secondly,a finite element formulation based on the conventional theory of mechanical-based strain gradient plasticity is developed.Furthermore,the deformation and fracture modes for the nanocomposites with various contents and distribu-tions of coarse grains(CGs)are explored based on the scheme.The results indicate that ductility of the composites first increases and then decreases as the content of CGs rises.Moreover,the dispersed distribution exhibits better ductility than concentrated one.Additionally,grain boundaries proved to be the weakest component within the micromodel.A series of interesting phenomena have been observed and discussed upon the refined simulation scheme.This work contributes to the design and further development of CNT/Al nanocomposites,and the proposed scheme can be extended to various bimodal metal composites.
