At temperatures ranging from 1210 to 1270℃,pressure for 40 MPa and holding time for 10 min,higher density ultrafine-grained WC-Ni3Al cemented carbides with Ni3Al contents ranging from 5wt%to 20wt%were fabricate...At temperatures ranging from 1210 to 1270℃,pressure for 40 MPa and holding time for 10 min,higher density ultrafine-grained WC-Ni3Al cemented carbides with Ni3Al contents ranging from 5wt%to 20wt%were fabricated using spark plasma sintering.The influence of Ni3Al addition on the structure and properties of the WC-Ni3Al composites was investigated and characterized.The experimental results demonstrate that Ni3Al addition affects the sintering behavior of WC-Ni3Al cemented carbides.During sintering,Ni3Al possesses higher interfacial energy,thus inhibits the growth of WC grains,resulting in an average grain size of 280-330 nm of WC-Ni3Al composites,which is classified as ultrafine-grained.Furthermore,the increase in Ni3Al content results in a decrease in hardness but an improvement in fracture toughness.When the Ni3Al content reaches 15wt%,it aggregates to form"Ni3Al pools",resulting in a significant hardness reduction of 14.02%compared to WC-10wt%Ni3Al composites.More fracture energy is consumed by cracks passing through the"Ni3Al pools",thus enhancing the toughness of the material.The optimal comprehensive properties are obtained with a Ni3Al content of 10wt%,exhibiting a hardness of 1866.8 HV,a fracture toughness of 11.79 MPa·m1/2,achieved a great balance between high hardness and high toughness than that of other studies.展开更多

摘要Based on the application requirements for porous dental implants,four porous structures of gyroid,RD(rhombic dodecahedron),cubic,and CHC(three identical cylinders hollow cubic)for porous titanium implants have been designed and fabricated using selective laser melting(SLM)technology.Typically,the unit cell dimensions range from 0.5 to 1.6 mm,with pore diameters between 300 and 900μm,achieving porosities of 60%-80%.The influence of porous structures with small unit cell on scaffold formability and mechanical properties was investigated through compression,torsion tests as well as finite element simulations.Consequently,gyroid scaffolds exhibit optimal formability with the lowest porosity and pore deviation.With the same porosity,gyroid and RD scaffolds exhibit lower compressive strength than cubic and CHC scaffolds,yet their torsional properties show an inverse relationship.Moreover,gyroid scaffolds possess the highest torque but the lowest compressive strength and elastic modulus.The gyroid scaffold with 60%porosity shows a modulus of 3.96 GPa,matching bone modulus of 0-30 GPa.Its compressive strength reaches 176.3 MPa,exceeding that of bone by 100 MPa.Additionally,the torque for the d4.0 mm implant is 2.22 N·m,approaching the FDA safe torque of 2.3 N·m.Therefore,the gyroid represents the most ideal structure for porous dental implants.

摘要At temperatures ranging from 1210 to 1270℃,pressure for 40 MPa and holding time for 10 min,higher density ultrafine-grained WC-Ni3Al cemented carbides with Ni3Al contents ranging from 5wt%to 20wt%were fabricated using spark plasma sintering.The influence of Ni3Al addition on the structure and properties of the WC-Ni3Al composites was investigated and characterized.The experimental results demonstrate that Ni3Al addition affects the sintering behavior of WC-Ni3Al cemented carbides.During sintering,Ni3Al possesses higher interfacial energy,thus inhibits the growth of WC grains,resulting in an average grain size of 280-330 nm of WC-Ni3Al composites,which is classified as ultrafine-grained.Furthermore,the increase in Ni3Al content results in a decrease in hardness but an improvement in fracture toughness.When the Ni3Al content reaches 15wt%,it aggregates to form"Ni3Al pools",resulting in a significant hardness reduction of 14.02%compared to WC-10wt%Ni3Al composites.More fracture energy is consumed by cracks passing through the"Ni3Al pools",thus enhancing the toughness of the material.The optimal comprehensive properties are obtained with a Ni3Al content of 10wt%,exhibiting a hardness of 1866.8 HV,a fracture toughness of 11.79 MPa·m1/2,achieved a great balance between high hardness and high toughness than that of other studies.

摘要Aluminum(Al)acts as the primary alloying element in Mg-Al-Zn alloys,so its content is of crucial importance for the samples fabricated by wire arc additive manufacturing(WAAM).However,microstructure and property fluctuations of the alloys induced by varying WAAM processes hinder the extracting of consistent Al content-microstructure-property relationships from existing studies.In this study,Mg-xAl-Zn(x=3,6,9,12)alloys were fabricated via WAAM using consistent process parameters to focus on the influence of Al content alone.The results indicate that all of the four alloys primarily consist ofα-Mg grains and Mg17Al12 phase.As Al content increases,theα-Mg grain size decreases from 43.1μm in Mg-3Al-Zn to 19.7μm in Mg-12Al-Zn.The content of Mg17Al12 phase increases from near 0%in Mg-3Al-Zn to 7.78%in Mg-12Al-Zn,and a sudden increase observed when Al content reached 12 wt%.The microhardness and yield strength of WAAM Mg-xAl-Zn alloys increase linearly with the increasing of Al content,which is attributed to the synergistic effects of grain refinement strengthening,solid solution strengthening,and second-phase strengthening induced by Al content.However,when the Al content reaches 9 wt%,the elongation and tensile strength decreased because of the excessive Mg17Al12 phase.Among the investigated alloys,Mg-6Al-Zn achieves the optimal strength-ductility balance,with a tensile strength of 266.3±0.4 MPa and an elongation of 13.9±1.4%.Thus,alloys with an Al content of approximately 6 wt%exhibit favorable performance and can be used without heat treatment,while those with Al content exceeding 9 wt%require heat treatment to optimize microstructure and improve ductility.

摘要The discovery of spin supersolid and its giant magnetocaloric effect has opened a new arena in frustrated quantum magnets and cutting-edge cryogenics.The intermetallic EuCo2Al9(ECA),for the first time,extends this intriguing phase from Mott insulators to a highly conductive metal.In this work,we systematically study the electrical transport properties of ECA,where itinerant electrons serve as a sensitive probe of the spin supersolid state.We observe anomalies both in the temperature-dependent resistivity and in the field-dependent magnetoresistance and Hall signals,which are attributed to the response of electrons to the Eu2+spins and their fluctuations.Moreover,Shubnikov-de Haas quantum oscillations at high magnetic fields reveal pronounced band splitting in the spin-polarized state.Our results reveal an intimate correspondence between electrical transport and magnetic transitions in ECA,deepening the understanding of this metallic spin supersolid.

摘要Increasing dispersion of metal active components by regulating supports is a crucial way for developing high-efficient and low-cost antibacterial materials.Based on variation of the calcination temperature of pseudoboehmite(AlOOH)precursor to regulate hydroxyl functional groups(-OH groups)of Al₂O₃,the roles of-OH groups in anchoring and dispersing Cu species on Cu/Al₂O₃material were systematically investigated in this study.At the same time,the bactericidal activities and underlying mechanism of Cu/Al₂O₃before and after phosphorization were thoroughly examined.Key findings revealed that the presence of terminal-OH groups and double-bridging-OH groups is crucial for effectively anchoring Cu atoms and enhancing their dispersion,resulting in robust bactericidal activity even at low Cu loading levels.Furthermore,phosphidation treatment significantly improved bactericidal activity by reducing Cu²⁺ to Cu⁺ and promoting the generation of superoxide radicals.Importantly,the synergistic oxidative damage of cellular membrane induced by extracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS)and intracellular ROS accumulation was found to be the primary mechanism of bacterial death.These findings provide insights into designing antimicrobial materials through hydroxyl‑mediated metal anchoring and phosphidation treatment.
摘要Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS)is a rapidly progressing neurodegenerative disease,leading to muscle weakness,paralysis and ultimately death due to respiratory failure.Currently licensed drugs have only very limited effects on slowing down disease progression or biomarkers.Despite numerous successful preclinical analyses,most new drugs fail when translated to clinical trials(Petrov et al.,2017).This is believed to be,in part,due to the multilayer heterogeneity of ALS(e.g.,clinical,genetic,and molecular;Tzeplaeff et al.,2024).Studies integrating multi-omic data are still limited,making it difficult to fully understand the biological complexity that characterizes the disease.

摘要Al‐based neutron shielding materials suffer from poor laser powder bed fusion(LPBF)processibility,hindering their simultaneous achievement of good printability and exceptional mechanical properties.In this work,the newly developed rare‐earth Al alloy(i.e.,Al‐6Mg‐5Gd)was processed by LPBF technique to meet the printability,mechanical properties,and neutron shielding property all at once.Initially,a hot crack was rarely observed in as‐LPBFed alloy within the printing parameters.The main defects were gas pores and lack of fusion pores,while the related formation mechanisms were discussed.At the optimal parameters,the relative density of alloy was 99.1%.Correspondingly,the finer cell structure(τ(C36)phase)was formed in melt pool,and the coarsened cell structure was found in the melt pool boundary.Similar to the 30 wt%B4C/Al composite,the as‐LPBFed Al‐6Mg‐5Gd alloy exhibited excellent neutron shielding property(Σ=21.5 cm−1).Meanwhile,the as‐LPBFed alloy had improved mechanical properties,while the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength were 269±2 and 465±4 MPa,respectively,and the elongation was 12.9%±0.3%.The underlying strengthening and ductilizing mechanisms were discussed in combination with microstructure features,in which the cell structure claimed its critical role.Finally,the good printability was confirmed in as‐LPBFed Al‐6Mg‐5Gd alloys,and the related excellent comprehensive properties can satisfy the practical application of high‐performance neutron shielding structural components using this advanced rare‐earth Al alloy.

摘要The Laser Powder Bed Fusion(L-PBF)process,characterized by high temperature gradients and rapid cooling rates,often results in the formation of coarse columnar grains in Ti6Al4V alloy,leading to anisotropy in its mechanical properties.To optimize the solidification microstructure and mechanical performance of Ti6A14V fabricated via L-PBF,we investigated an in-situ alloying approach within the L-PBF process.A series of novel Ti6Al4V-xFe(x=1,3,5)alloys were fabricated and systematically analyzed in terms of micro structural characteristics and mechanical properties.The results demonstrate that Ti6Al4V-xFe exhibit a dual-phase micro structure,consisting ofα'andβphases,in which the volume fraction of the metastableβphase increases with the increase of Fe content.The in-situ alloying of Fe elements effectively suppresses the growth of columnar grains and promotes the Columnar-to-Equiaxed Transition(CET).Specifically,when the Fe content is 1 wt%,the alloy achieves a high strength of 1591.7 MPa,though with relatively low ductility.When the Fe content is 5 wt%,despite a reduction in strength(1204.3 MPa)compared to Ti6Al4V-1Fe,the material displays remarkable work-hardening behavior and improved ductility(with an elongation of up to 13.1%).This enhancement in mechanical properties can be primarily attributed to the increased metastableβphase,the cooperative deformation between the phases,and the progressive Transformation-Induced Plasticity(TRIP)effect triggered by theβphase.

摘要LiNi0.9Mn0.1O2(LNM91)is a promising cobalt-free,high-energy cathode material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries,but its commercialization is challenged by rapid capacity fading resulting from bulk and interfacial structural degradation.Herein,an in situ surface-to-bulk dual-modification strategy is developed to synthesize 6Al-LNM91(6 mol%Al modified LNM91)via a one-step calcination process based on Al diffusion chemistry.This method concurrently constructs a protective LiAlO2coating and incorporates Al3+into the bulk lattice,effectively enhancing the structural integrity of the cathode during cycling.The optimized 6Al-LNM91 cathode delivers a remarkable rate capability of 165 mA··h·g-1at 10 C and maintains 94.03%capacity retention after 120 cycles at 0.5 C(2.8-4.4 V),substantially outperforming the pristine material(76.82%of LNM91).This organic solvent-free,single-step modification approach offers a scalable and efficient route for improving high-nickel layered oxide cathodes.

摘要Soft-magnetic materials(SMMs)are indispensable for electrification and sustainable energy systems,yet their inherent mechanical fragility fundamentally limits applications under severe mechanical stresses.Enhancing the yield strength of SMMs is essential to prevent the degradation in magnetic performance and failure from plastic deformation,but conventional SMMs(e.g.,Fe-Co alloys and metallic glasses)struggle to surpass 1GPa in strength without sacrificing ductility or soft-magnetic properties.Here,we pioneer a face-centered cubic type Ni40Fe30Co20Al10 multi-principal element alloy(MPEA)engineered with a multi-scale heterogeneous microstructure,achieving a nearly triple increase in yield strength(1103 MPa)while retaining16%elongation and excellent soft-magnetic response.This is realized through precipitation of coherent L12 nanoparticles(~20 nm in diameter,~13 nm in spacing)during thermomechanical processing,which simultaneously impedes dislocation glide and minimizes domain wall pinning.Changes in magnetic exchange interaction and nanoparticle-induced matrix magnetic moment slightly influence the saturation magnetic induction.Our strategy resolves the long-standing trade-off between mechanical robustness and soft-magnetic performance,positioning such MPEAs as promising candidates for heavy-load electromechanical systems.

摘要In recent years,the field of magnetic materials has witnessed a paradigm shift from single-function applications to multifunctional integration,driven by the growing demand for smart materials in advanced technologies.Among various magnetic systems,La(Fe,Si/Al)13-series materials have emerged as particularly promising candidates due to their extraordinary spin-lattice coupling effects.These materials exhibit remarkable negative thermal expansion(NTE)behavior and giant magnetocaloric effects(MCE)when subjected to a change in temperature and magnetic field,effectively addressing device cracking caused by the coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch and enabling efficient and eco-friendly magnetic refrigeration,thereby demonstrating exceptional multifunctional properties.This comprehensive review focuses on La(Fe,Si/Al)13-based materials,systematically examining the influences of different structure-stabilizing elements,chemical substitutions at La and Fe sites,and interstitial ion insertion on their crystal structure,electronic structure,and magnetic configuration.It further elucidates the critical role of spin-lattice coupling in the controllable regulation of magnetovolume effect(MVE)and MCE.The present review not only contributes to optimizing NTE and MCE in La(Fe,Si/Al)13-based materials but also provides theoretical guidance for developing novel multifunctional materials.

摘要Argon tungsten arc welding of TiAl base alloy using Ti-30Nb(at.%)filler metals was conducted.The results indicated that sound TiAl welded joints were achieved with preheating temperature of 498℃.Microstructure and properties of the welded TiAl joints were investigated.A transitional reaction zone,primarily consisting ofγ-TiAl andα2-Ti3Al,was observed at the interface between the weld zone and the TiAl base alloy.Due to the intense reaction between the TiAl base metal and the Ti-Nb filler metal,amounts of acicular intermetallic compounds were formed within the central region of the weld zone,consisting ofα2-Ti3Al and B2 phases.The tensile fracture of the joints exhibited brittle cleavage pattern.The average tensile strength of the welded joints at room-temperature reached 372.6 MPa,about 73.1%of the base metal(BM),with joint fracture occurred in the weld zone.Owing to the solid-solution strengthening effect of Nb,the joint tensile strength retained 326.6 MPa at 700℃,and 300 MPa at 750℃.

摘要(Ti2Al20La+Al3Ti)/Al-7Si composites rich in Ti2Al20La and Al3Ti reinforcement phases were prepared by the melt blending method.The influence of the addition amount of Al-Ti-La alloy on the microstructure,mechanical properties,and wear resistance of the composites was analyzed.Results reveal that the(Ti2Al20La+Al3Ti)/Al-7Si composite(adding 10wt%Al-Ti-La alloy into the Al-7Si alloy)is composed of fineα-Al grains,short rod-like eutectic Si,and blocky Al3Ti and Ti2Al20La phases.The tensile strength,elongation,and hardness of the composite are 176.9 MPa,11.62%,and 73.2 HV,increased by 13.4%,57.0%,and 26.2%compared with those of the Al-7Si alloy,respectively.It is suggested that the(Ti2Al20La+Al3Ti)/Al-7Si composite exhibits relatively high plasticity.Furthermore,the wear resistance of the composites is increased by 20.1%.The performance enhancement is attributed to two key mechanisms.One is the formation of Al3Ti transition layer at the interface between the Al3Ti reinforcement phase and the aluminum matrix,which establishes a semi-coherent relationship with Al3Ti phase.The other is the adsorption of element Si by element La within the Ti2Al20La reinforcement phase,leading to Si enrichment at the edges of the Ti2Al20La phase and thereby forming a semi-coherent Si layer.

摘要The densification characterization,phase constitution,precipitation evolution and mechanical performance of Al−Mg−Sc−Zr alloy processed by laser powder bed fusion(LPBF)were systematically investigated.Moreover,the evolution of phase constitution and precipitation behavior after heat treatment were characterized by using X-ray diffraction(XRD)and transmission electron microscope(TEM)analysis.The ultimate tensile strength(UTS)of as-built samples ranged from 396.8 to 414.6 MPa as the scanning speed decreased from 1600 to 1000 mm/s.After post heat treatment,the yield strength(YS)increased to(513.1±1.3)MPa,while the UTS increased from(414.6±5.1)to(539.2±1.5)MPa.The significant improvement of mechanical performance was ascribed to the formation of secondary Al3(Sc,Zr)precipitates.
