Phase separation of the Cr-enriched nanoscale α′ phase in the Fe-38 at.% Cr-10 at.% Al alloy is studied by utilizing phase-field simulation. The partition of elements in the α and α′ phases is clarified with the composition evolution through the α/α′ phase interface, and the separation kinetics is quantitatively investigated by the temporal evolution of the size and volume fraction of the α′ phase. Aluminum partitions into the Fe-enriched α phase and depletes in the α′ phase, and the partition coefficient decreases as the temperature changes from 720 K to 760 K for the steady-state coarsening stage. As the temperature increases, the initial change rate of the volume fraction of the α′ phase is faster, indicating an accelerated phase separation. At the coarsening stage, the average particle distance and coarsening rate constant of the α′ phase increase with increased temperature, and the ratio of the Ostwald ripening is dominating compared with coalescence coarsening. The element partition and kinetics evolution of the α′ phase with temperature are helpful for the morphology and property predication of nanoscale precipitates.

AbstractThe existing research on SiCp/Al composite machining mainly focuses on the machining parameters or surface morphology. However, the surface quality of SiCp/Al composites with a high volume fraction has not been extensively studied. In this study, 32 SiCp/Al specimens with a high volume fraction were prepared and their machining parameters measured. The surface quality of the specimens was then tested and the effect of the grinding parameters on the surface quality was analyzed. The grinding quality of the composite specimens was comprehensively analyzed taking the grinding force, friction coefficient, and roughness parameters as the evaluation standards. The best grinding parameters were obtained by analyzing the surface morphology. The results show that, a higher spindle speed should be chosen to obtain a better surface quality. The final surface quality is related to the friction coefficient, surface roughness, and fragmentation degree as well as the quantity and distribution of the defects. Lower feeding amount, lower grinding depth and appropriately higher spindle speed should be chosen to obtain better surface quality. Lower feeding amount, higher grinding depth and spindle speed should be chosen to balance grind efficiently and surface quality. This study proposes a systematic evaluation method, which can be used to guide the machining of SiCp/Al composites with a high volume fraction.

AbstractNontrivial topological structures offer a rich playground in condensed matters and promise alternative device configurations for post-Moore electronics. While recently a number of polar topologies have been discovered in confined ferroelectric PbTiO3 within artificially engineered PbTiO3/SrTiO3 superlattices, little attention was paid to possible topological polar structures in SrTiO3. Here we successfully create previously unrealized polar antivortices within the SrTiO3 of PbTiO3/SrTiO3 superlattices, accomplished by carefully engineering their thicknesses guided by phase-field simulation. Field- and thermal-induced Kosterlitz–Thouless-like topological phase transitions have also been demonstrated, and it was discovered that the driving force for antivortex formation is electrostatic instead of elastic. This work completes an important missing link in polar topologies, expands the reaches of topological structures, and offers insight into searching and manipulating polar textures.
