The acoustic emission (AE) energy of the specimens during loading was monitored, and the microstructure was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Test results showed that: 1) The strength of CGBB cured in air and water gradually slowed down with age. The strength of CGBB in the H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> solution was greater than that of CGBB cured in air or water in the first 90 d. The strength of CGBB under the coupling of the H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> solution and load decreased more slowly with age than that of the single H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> solution; 2) The resistivity and UPV had a good corresponding relationship with the strength of the CGBB. The failure modes of the CGBB after erosion were various, and the CGBB showed different AE energy characteristics at different stages of loading. The surge of AE energy could be used as a precursor to the failure of CGBB; 3) Erosion products compacted CGBB in the early stages and improved its strength. In the later stage, the CGBB cracked under the action of expansion stress and the strength decreased.

In this study, CGFB samples were soaked in a NaCl solution at 0, 0.5, 1.5, or 3.0 MPa for 15 d. The mechanical properties of the samples and deterioration mechanisms were investigated using uniaxial compression tests, acoustic emission tests, digital speckle strain measurements, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The results show that the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) increased and then decreased with the increase of soaking pressure. When the soaking pressure increased from 0 to 1.5 MPa, the average UCS increased by 43.5%. Then, when the soaking pressure increased from 1.5 to 3.0 MPa, the average UCS decreased by 18.9%. Moreover, water pressure promotes chloride ions into the interior of CGFB and the production of Friedel’s salt. Higher water pressures-chloride salt erosion coupling increases the porosity of CGFB, with the 3.0 MPa sample showing an 8.2% increase in porosity compared to the 0 MPa sample. Thus, internal pore cracks developed and penetrated the samples, which degraded their mechanical properties and reduced their strength and compactness.</p>","PeriodicalId":15231,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Central South University","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141510023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a series of uniaxial tensile tests and scanning electron microscopy experiments were conducted on Inconel 718 foils with different grain sizes to investigate the grain size effect on plastic deformation behavior. The grain size, orientation, and kernel average misorientation were characterized via electron backscatter diffraction to elucidate the deformation mechanism associated with the grain size effect. The results demonstrate that as the grain size increased, the number of grain orientations transforming into <span>(< 2bar 32 >)</span> gradually decreased owing to weakened grain rotation and coordination under tensile stress, leading to a significant reduction in yield strength and maximum tensile strength. Additionally, the plastic deformation within the grain interior diminished significantly, while grain boundary sliding became a prominent deformation mechanism during tension as grain size increased, resulting in decreased fracture strain and ductile fracture characteristics.

Firstly, the forward algorithm is formulated through the vertex-centered finite element with hexahedral meshes. The biconjugate gradient stabilized algorithm can solve the linear equation system combined with an incomplete LU factorization (ILU-BICSSTAB). Secondly, a high-degree Lagrange interpolating scheme is applied to achieve the first-derivate and second-derivate gravitational potential.
