A comprehensive review of classifications and applications of Ti alloys for deep-sea engineering indicates that the near-<em>α</em> and <em>α</em> + <em>β</em> Ti alloys with high strength and great weldability are the primary selection for deep-sea equipment. The role of residual stress, microstructure types, alloying elements and corrosive environmental factors on SCC performance of Ti alloys are also summarised. It is revealed that the Ti alloys with Widmanstatten structure show the lowest SCC susceptibility, and alloying of Nb, Mo and Al elements plays a positive role in the boost corrosion resistance of passive film. Synergistic effects of environmental deep-sea factors include high hydrostatic pressure, low dissolved oxygen content, low temperature and decreasing pH levels intensify the SCC of Ti alloys by inducing local dissolution of the passive film and facilitating hydrogen-induced cracking at crack tip. The study also highlights future research requirements in SCC of Ti alloys in deep sea: including the set-up of unified and suitable methods of <em>in-situ</em> and simulated experiments, modeling and predicting of SCC behaviour in real situations, and exploring practical protective strategies specifically.

In this work, a TiZrCu alloy with a combination of excellent mechanical, anti-corrosion, and antibacterial properties was developed by optimizing the Cu content and grain refinement. Its MIC and antibacterial mechanisms against <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em>, a representative marine microorganism, were systematically investigated. 5.5 wt% was determined as the optimal copper content.

Developing novel interlayer materials is challenging but crucial for enhancing bonding quality and joint properties. We designed a multi-interlayer composite bonding (MICB) method, employing sandwich-structured interlayers of “BNi2/high entropy alloy (HEA)/BNi2”, to join a PM superalloy FGH98. The MICB joint exhibited an ultrahigh shear strength of ∼1132 MPa and exceptional ductility, indicating a typical ductile fracture pattern with numerous dimples. Owing to the introduction of liquid BNi2 interlayer, initial bonding interfaces were eliminated and replaced by newborn grain boundaries (GBs), preventing brittle interfacial fracture. Due to the diffusion of Al/Ti/Ta from the base metals (BMs), massive ordered γ' nanoparticles also precipitated in the joint. Moreover, the addition of HEA foil reduced the stacking fault energy (SFE) of the joint and facilitated the formation of deformation twins (DTs). Thus, during the deformation process, the γ' nanoparticles, and multiple substructures like stacking faults (SFs), Lomer-Cottrell (L-C) locks, DTs, and 9R phases enhanced the work-hardening capability and strengthened the joint. Simultaneously, the multiplication and interaction of DTs induced a softening mechanism of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) during the entire deformation process and dominated when the plastic instability occurred, resulting in numerous adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) consisting of γ/γ' nano-bands, which indicates a significant improvement of the joint ductility.","PeriodicalId":16154,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science & Technology","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142596988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anodic dissolution (AD) plays a more significant role at higher strain rates, resulting in mixed fracture modes. Additionally, the mechanical properties and SCC resistance are strongly influenced by the sample orientation. TD-oriented samples show higher SCC susceptibility than RD-oriented ones due to the alignment of Gd- and Y-rich precipitates and grain boundaries, which act as initiation sites for SCC.

In detail, the rich pores and huge specific surface area endow the hierarchical structures with distinguished thermal insulation ability (<em>λ</em><0.07). The carbon framework and CNTs are beneficial for consuming EMWs via conductive loss and defect polarization loss while reducing the filling ratio and thickness. The doped heteroatoms and abundant heterointerfaces generate ample dipole polarization and interface polarization losses (supported by DFT calculation). The metal nanoparticles uniformly embedded in the carbon framework offer optimized impedance matching, proper defect polarization, and suitable magnetic loss. Accordingly, the synergy of magnetic-dielectric balance and flower-like superstructure enables FNCFN2 and NNCFN2 to accomplish remarkable microwave absorbing capacity with thin thickness (14 wt.%).

The factors affecting ORR of magnesium (Mg) alloys are still unclear, especially in cases under thin electrolyte layers (TEL). In this work, the influence of the corrosion product films on the cathodic reactions of Mg alloys under TEL and in a bulk solution was investigated. ORR does not influence the hydrogen evolution rates in the corrosion of Mg alloys. Therefore, with the existence of oxygen, corrosion rates of Mg alloys measured by hydrogen evolution tests are not accurate under TEL. And weight loss test is a more accurate method to evaluate Mg corrosion rates under TEL. ORR was confirmed to participate in the corrosion of Mg–4Nd–0.4Zr, Mg–4Nd and Mg–0.4Zr alloys under TEL. In 100-μm TEL, the highest contribution of ORR in cathodic reactions for the corrosion of Mg–4Nd–0.4Zr, Mg–4Nd and Mg–0.4Zr alloys are 28.6%, 39.1%, and 35.8%, respectively. The more protective film on Mg–4Nd–0.4Zr alloy provides a stronger inhibition effect against the diffusion of oxygen, leading to decreased ORR contribution in cathodic reactions.
