The lack of in-depthunderstanding of the root causes of hot cracking is an impediment for designing partsfor safety-critical applications. In the present work, the ambiguity on crackingmechanism is resolved and is identified as solidification cracking. Cracking is found tooccur only along columnar grain boundaries having a large misorientation, θ > 15°.This is attributed to the coalescence undercooling that lowers the dendrite coalescencetemperature. Our findings using the Rappaz-Drezet-Gremaud (RDG) criterion andRosenthal calculations show that the existence of stable liquid films is linked tomisorientation, causing a sudden increase in pressure drop leading to cracking. In thiswork, hot cracking sensitivity (HCS) maps are developed using the RDG criterion underconditions typical of L-PBF to investigate:the effect of the processing conditions, the melting parameters (laser power andscanning speed) on the thermal gradient (G) and solidification Velocity (v) inferred fromthermal simulations, on the hot tearing sensitivity. This led us to an understanding ofthe required G and v, and therefore the required laser power and speed to decreasethe cracking susceptibility and propose improvements to process the 6061 Al-alloyusing L-PBF relying on the developed HCS maps.the effect of addition of alloying elements such as Si and Mg, on the crackingsensitivity.

Two important factors, the shape and orientation of a pillar, are discussed with respect to the glide resistance and stress-strain response. Maximizing Schmid factor of one specific slip system while minimizing others is recommended in order to diminish obvious dislocations-induced hardening during in-situ testing. Apparent Schmid factor analysis is conducted to select grains with preferred orientations. Two types of pillars with conventional cylindrical shape or dog-bone shape are tested under compression to estimate the resistance to dislocation glide and evaluate the effect of pillar shape on the compression stress-strain response. One dog-bone pillar is tested under tension to check the tension-compression isotropy of dislocation slip. We find that the shape of a pillar to a smaller extent affects the measured resistance but strongly influences the stress strain response. Cylindrical pillars exhibit apparent hardening associated with early yielding due to stress or strain concentration at contact region, while dog-bone pillars show an obvious yielding and continuous shearing without hardening. The resistance is 220 MPa for slip system {110} and 230 MPa for slip system {112} . Finite element analysis is performed to account for the influence of pillar shape and contact condition on mechanical response.","PeriodicalId":9858,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering (Engineering) eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76793802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In-situ heating in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC, both conventional and fast) are used to obtain a comprehensive characterization of the decomposition on heating a melt-spun glass of this composition. Linking TEM with DSC over a range of heating rates 0.083‒2000 K s‒1, allows the sample temperature in the TEM heating stage to be calibrated. On heating up to melting, the glass decomposes in up to four stages: (1) complete transformation to single-phase nanocrystalline (Au,Cu)7Si; (2) grain growth of this phase; (3) precipitation of (Pd,Ag)Si, reducing the supersaturation of silicon in the (Au,Cu)7Si matrix; (4) with the precipitate phase remaining stable, decomposition of the matrix to a mixture of (Au,Ag)8Cu2, AuCu and Cu3Au phases. At all stages, grain diameters remain sub-micrometre; some of the stable nanocrystalline microstructures may themselves be of interest for applications. The characterization of the decomposition can assist in the optimization of the glass composition to improve tarnish-resistance, while retaining adequate glass-forming ability, formability in thermoplastic processing, and resistance to crystallization. For materials in general, the close correlation of in-situ TEM and DSC results should find wide use in characterizing complex transformation sequences.","PeriodicalId":9858,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering (Engineering) eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84954486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sedimentation is a problem that often occurs in fluid transportation and fluidization. Granular material behavior due to impinging is a phenomenon that is rarely studied. This condition is difficult to observe due to the position of complex fluid movements in the bed. The study tries to find the behavior of fluidization at various granular sizes. The effect of impinging into the granular bed has been observed with experimental studies. Hele-Shaw cell is used as equipment for the observation process. The glass sand is used as a medium of fluidization. The high-speed fluid is injected into a granular bed in a short time. Granular material moves because of the pressure impinging as fluidization. The motion of the granular material is observed by a camera to determine the behavior of the granular material. The primary outcome of the present study is the identification of two very distinct regimes. There are two types of post-impinging fluidization. The first type is the fluid cavity and fluidization. The condition starts with a fluid cavity expansion and continues with the fluidization process. The fluid cavity occurs because the fluid shock pressure pushes the granular material upward. Granular bonds hold the particles' connection and form a cavity. Fluidization after cavity expansion is a settling motion that is influenced by gravity, buoyancy, drag, and granular bonds. The other type is a local fluidized state. The limit for the occurrence of fluid cavity and fluidization is observed with the Reynolds number of impinging. The Reynolds number of impinging is calculated by the velocity of entry of the shock fluid in the granular and multiplied size of the particles divided by the viscosity. The fluid cavity post-impinging occurs at the Reynolds number of the impinging process less than 4,000 (laminar and transition flow area). The local fluidized state has Re of impinging more than 4,000, and the fluidization follows the flow and disappears immediately. This condition causes the bonding of the granules cannot maintain the agglomeration of the granules.","PeriodicalId":9858,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering (Engineering) eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84885135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the understanding of its origin remained controversial, partially due to the lack of real-time observation on its initial formation stage. Here, this work reported the direct observation of emitter generation in the crystallization stage. Through the use of a home-made crystal incubator coupled with a fluorescent microscope, both the crystal growth and emitter emergence were tracked in a real-time manner. The emitter distribution was found oriented along c axis and the cooling rate of precursor was found a key factor to manipulate the emitter density, which was reported for the first time to the best of our knowledge. Through an ultra-slow cooling procedure, a full-body emitting crystal of high PL QY up to 83% was obtained. Importantly, the PL QY was found temperature-insensitive in a broad range from 80 K to 300 K despite of strong phonon-electron coupling effect. The lifetime displayed a linear relationship to temperature, which suggested a 2D quantum-well feature of excitons according to Rosales model.
