This study conducted on-site application of in-situ inhibition processes at the Dongtan Coal Mine 63下03 working face. Coal samples were collected from monitoring points 1#, 2#, and 3#, which were drilled perpendicular to the coal wall, based on the actual fluid injection conditions on-site. These samples were then taken to the laboratory for programmed temperature rise experiments and fluorescence spectrophotometry experiments. The corresponding relationship between the seepage range and the inhibition range was constructed using the inhibition rates and fluorescence intensities obtained from the experiments. The results indicate that the inhibition rates at monitoring points 1#, 2#, and 3# exhibit similar trends, showing an initial increase followed by a decrease with increasing drilling depth. The maximum inhibition effect is achieved at a depth of 8 m for all three points. Monitoring point 1# has an inhibitory effect at depths of 8–16 m, while point 2# shows effectiveness at 8–14 m. No inhibitory effect was observed in the samples taken from monitoring point 3#. By fitting the relationship between the inhibition rate and fluorescence intensity, a relationship equation based on full-scale fluorescence intensity and inhibition rate was obtained, determining the seepage range and inhibition range of the inhibitory fluid within the coal body and their corresponding relationship, which plays an important guiding role in the efficient implementation of coal seam fluid injection.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7232,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Powder Technology","volume":"36 6","pages":"Article 104897"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143842791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The final milled Ta0.5 and Ta1 powders consist of dual body-centered cubic phases, with the Ta1 powder additionally containing an amorphous phase. Both HEACs comprise double face-centered cubic solid-solution matrix with intermetallic compound. Distinct precipitate distribution patterns are observed across four characteristic regions: the transition boundary, fine-grained layer, coarse-grained layer, and normal region. These microstructural features contribute to excellent interfacial bonding, as evidenced by the bending strengths of 586 MPa (Ta0.5) and 531 MPa (Ta1). Due to the thicker fine-grained layer adjacent to the substrate, the Ta0.5 coating exhibits superior resistance to shearing forces and bending moment, resulting in higher bending strength. The Ta1 coating achieves optimized microhardness, showing 256 % and 28 % improvements over the substrate and Ta-free CoCrFeNi coating, respectively. Furthermore, wear resistance tests confirm that both HEACs outperform the substrate. The enhanced microhardness and wear resistance are attributed to solid-solution strengthening (from larger Ta atoms), second-phase strengthening (via nanoscale Laves phases), and the synergistic effect of the dual FCC matrix with uniformly distributed nanoscale hard phases. Electrochemical corrosion tests display that both HEACs demonstrate superior comprehensive corrosion resistance in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution, primarily due to the formation of protective Ta oxides.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7232,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Powder Technology","volume":"36 6","pages":"Article 104891"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143834174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering the CGSF has been applied exclusively for monodisperse particles with homogeneous particle sizes, an extended CG model for particles with inhomogeneous properties under a granular shear flow is required. As segregation progresses, microscopic particle mixing and segregation can occur on a smaller scale than the CG particle size. Hence, a new method is proposed by which the composition of the original intra-CG particles can change dynamically. Consequently, we propose a coarse-grained model for powder mixing and segregation under dense granular shear flow by extending the CGSF to a binary-sized particle system and developing a method for estimating the microscopic mixing and segregation of the original particles based on the Dynamically Changing Composition (DCC) of the original particles. Using the extended CGSF with DCC, we simulated the powder mixing and segregation of binary-sized particles in a rotating drum, with the performance of the proposed model evaluated in terms of powder mixing, segregation behavior, and computing speed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7232,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Powder Technology","volume":"36 6","pages":"Article 104875"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143815707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
