The Relationship

The effects of Al and Mo elements on the microstructure and hardness of TNM TiAl alloys (Ti-43.5Al-4Nb-1Mo-0.1B) were studied by decreasing 0.5 at.% Mo and/or increasing 1.5 at.% Al. The results showed that the changed composition of the alloy had a slight influence on the morphology, but had important effects on the volume fraction, size, and composition of each phase. All the alloys had nearly full lamellar (NL) microstructures, with a few βo phases at the boundaries of the colony or in the lamellar colony. The lamellar colony size and the lamellar spacing increased with the decrease in Mo and the increase in Al. The reduction in Mo content reduced the content of each phase in proportion, but the increase in Al content in the alloys led to the corresponding increase in Al content in the α2 and γ phases. The hardness of the alloys decreased with the increase in Al content and the decrease in Mo content. This is mainly due to the increase in lamellar spacing caused by the change in composition. Therefore, the increased content of Al and decreased Mo content are unbeneficial for the microstructure. The relationship between the Vickers hardness and the lamellar spacing obeyed the Hall–Petch relationship.

VC/Fe-based composite samples were fabricated with different volume fraction of VC in vacuum, and the content are 40%, 55%, and 70% respectively. The relationship between microstructure and mechanical properties for VC/Fe based composite with various VC content were studied. The results indicated VC content had a significant effect on the performance and organization of the VC/Fe-based composites and the effect of VC content on the mechanical properties are varied. With ratio of VC powders increased, the volume fraction of V8C7 particles formed additionally, while the fraction of Fe particles slightly decreased. The flexural strength, fracture toughness, relative density and wear resistant increased with increase of VC content in the range of 0 to 55vol. %, and then decreased with further increase of VC content, while the Vickers hardness increased with the increase of VC content. By comparing the material with 55vol.%VC would show the best combination of properties in the prepared samples.

Properties Of Composites

The co-continuous AlN composites with different Al contents were fabricated through the squeeze casting of porous AlN preform with varied porosities obtained by carbothermal reduction. The effects of volume fraction of Al phase and the heat treatment temperature on the mechanical properties of composites were investigated. The change of the mechanical properties of composites with the Al content was in line with the mixed rule. With an increase in the Al content, the fracture toughness increased, the Vickers hardness and the flexural strength decreased. The toughen mechanism of composites included ductile rupture and microcrack toughening. The avoiding of excessive interface reaction between AlN and Al was beneficial to the mechanical properties of composites. With an increase in the heat treatment temperature, the stress and the dislocation due to mismatch in the coefficients of thermal expansion increased, the fracture toughness decreased, the vickers hardness and the flexural strength increased.

The structure of the interlayer between matrix and inclusions affect directly the mechanical and physical properties of inorganic particulate-filled polymer composites. The interlayer thickness is an important parameter for characterization of the interfacial structure. The effects of the interlayer between the filler particles and matrix on the mechanical properties of polymer composites were analyzed in this article. On the basis of a simplified model of interlayer, an expression for estimating the interlayer thickness ([Formula: see text]) was proposed. In addition, the relationship between the [Formula: see text] and the particle size and its concentration was discussed. The results showed that the calculations of the [Formula: see text] and thickness/particle diameter ratio ([Formula: see text]) increased nonlinearly with an increase of the volume fraction of the inclusions. Moreover, the predictions of [Formula: see text] and the relevant data reported in literature were compared, and good agreement was found between them.

The substitution of Si with Al in 0.2%C-1.5%Si-1.25%Mn-0.2%Cr ultrahigh strength transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP)-aided martensitic (TM) sheet steel improves galvanization. The effect of Al content on the microstructure and formabilities of the TM steel was therefore investigated. Replacement of Si with Al maintained the high volume fraction of the retained austenite and the high stretch-formability and stretch-flangeability, whereas it decreased the tensile strength. Complex addition of Si and Al yielded the best formabilities with 1.5 GPa tensile strength grade. The superior formabilities of Si-Al bearing TM steel were attributed to the strain-induced transformation of the metastable retained austenite and the relatively soft lath-martensite structure matrix. The former leads to plastic relaxation of the localized stress concentrations, thus suppressing void formation.

From the process of sedimentation the mathematical relationship between deposition volume and powder properties as well as sedimentation parameters was deduced in this paper. The relationship was expressed by using indirect method. Based on the formula, design model and prediction model were set up. The models can be used to design powder properties and predict the volume fraction of FGM. Programs to solve the models were developed in numerical methods. As examples, TiC-Ni system FGM were designed and predicted. The prediction results fit well with the design. Experiment of Mo-Ti system FGM was used to validate the prediction model.

The Relationship

The phenomenon of slamming on a bubbly liquid has many occurrences in marine and costal engineering. However, experimental or numerical data on the effect of the presence of gas bubbles within the liquid on the impact loads are scarce and the related physical mechanisms are poorly understood. The aim of the present paper is to study numerically the relationship between the void volume fraction and the impact loads. For that purpose, numerical simulations of the impact of a cone on bubbly water have been performed using the finite element code ABAQUS/Explicit. The present results show the diminution of the impact loads with the increase of the void fraction. This effect appears to be related to the high compressibility of the liquid-gas mixture.

The Relationship

The compaction process of Fe and Al composite powders subjected to single action die compaction was numerically modeled by FEM method. The relationship between the overall relative density and compaction pressure of the compacts with various Al contents was firstly identified, and the influences of Al content on the local relative density, stress, and their distributions were studied. Then the compaction pressure effects on the above properties with fixed Al content were discussed. Furthermore, detailed flow behaviors of the composite powders during compaction and the relationship between the compaction pressure and the ejection force/spring back of the compact were analyzed. The results show that: (1) With each compaction pressure, higher relative density can be realized with the increase of Al content and the relative density distribution tends to be uniform; (2) When the Al content is fixed, higher compaction pressure can lead to composite compact with higher relative density, and the equivalent Von Mises stress in the central part of the compact increases gradually; (3) Convective flow occurs at the top and bottom parts of the compact close to the die wall, each indicates a different flow behavior; (4) The larger the compaction pressure for each case, the higher the residual elasticity, and the larger the ejection force needed.

Aerosol Chemical Composition

Abstract. During the Carbonaceous Aerosols and Radiative Effects Study (CARES), activation fraction of size-resolved aerosol particles and aerosol chemical composition were characterized at the T1 site (~60 km downwind of Sacramento, California) from 10 June to 28 June 2010. The hygroscopicity of CCN-active particles (κCCN) with diameter from 100 to 171 nm, derived from the size-resolved activated fraction, varied from 0.10 to 0.21, with an average of 0.15, which was substantially lower than that proposed for continental sites in earlier studies. The low κCCN value was due to the high organic volume fraction, averaged over 80% at the T1 site. The derived κCCN exhibited little diurnal variation, consistent with the relatively constant organic volume fraction observed. At any time, over 90% of the size selected particles with diameter between 100 and 171 nm were CCN active, suggesting most particles within this size range were aged background particles. Due to the large organic volume fraction, organic hygroscopicity (κorg) strongly impacted particle hygroscopicity and therefore calculated CCN concentration. For vast majority of the cases, an increase of κorg from 0.03 to 0.18, which are within the typical range, doubled the calculated CCN concentration. Organic hygroscopicity was derived from κCCN and aerosol chemical composition, and its variations with the fraction of total organic mass spectral signal at m/z 44 (f44) and O : C were compared to results from previous studies. Overall, the relationships between κorg and f44 are quite consistent for organic aerosol (OA) observed during field studies and those formed in smog chamber. Compared to the relationship between κorg and f44, the relationship between κorg and O : C exhibits more significant differences among different studies, suggesting κorg may be better parameterized using f44. A least squares fit yielded κorg = 2.04 (± 0.07) × f44 − 0.11 (± 0.01) with the Pearson R2 value of 0.71. One possible explanation for the stronger correlation between κorg and f44 is that the m/z 44 signal (mostly contributed by the CO2+ ion) is more closely related to organic acids, which may dominate the overall κorg due to their relatively high water solubility and hygroscopicity.
