ZIF is a sub-family of the metal–organic framework.

After annealing at 800 °C, granular µ phases are found inside the primary σ phase. The friction coefficients of the coatings (as-cladded, as-annealed at 700 °C and 800 °C) decrease dramatically compared with the substrate of H13 steel. Obvious spheroidising of the σ phase at 900 °C leads to a decrease of hardness and an increase of friction coefficient.

Sn addition can retard the onset of natural aging (NA), while after long-term NA, the NA hardening is enhanced. Although Cu and Sn can promote the NA hardening, the Cu and Sn combination addition results in NA hardness lower than the individual Cu addition. Compared with Sn, Cu addition is more efficient in promoting the artificial aging hardening of these alloys. Both of the Sn and Cu atoms can incorporate in the interior of the β′′ phase and produce disordered structure.

Therefore, a novel method has been developed and applied to study the potential prior-β grain refinement of additive-manufactured Ti–6Al–4 V thin-wall components via trace Si addition. The microstructure and mechanical properties were analysed, and the results revealed that adding trace Si facilitates heterogeneous nucleation, contributing to the columnar-to-equiaxed transition of prior-β grains. The anisotropic percentages significantly decreased from 5.82% to 1.15% after trace Si addition. All the trace Si-added specimens exhibited dimples that are indicative of the ductile failure mode. Additionally, the possible phase-change process for the trace Si addition specimens was explored over several thermal cycles during the solidification process.","PeriodicalId":18232,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Technology","volume":"267 1","pages":"2938 - 2944"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86725333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various factors such as concentration of GO in microcrystalline cellulose/graphene oxide (MCC/GO-x) aerogel, pH solution, adsorbent dosage, initial concentration of MB and contacting time were optimised on the adsorption capacity. The outcomes displayed that the maximum adsorption capacity could get to 645 mg g−1.

For sub (near) solvus heat treatments, grain growth and γ′ dissolution occur simultaneously. Grain size following heat treatment is determined largely by the primary γ′ particle dispersion, via Zener-Smith pinning. Remarkably, grain growth occurs only as a result of precipitate dissolution. The resulting grain size is dictated by a combination of initial particle dispersion in the as-received material and heat treatment temperature. It is likely to hold so long as the initial grain size is close to the Zener-Smith limit and where the kinetics of grain growth and dissolution share similar rates.","PeriodicalId":18232,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Technology","volume":"27 1","pages":"2945 - 2949"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87044705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
