Equal channel angular pressing(ECAP) process can be used to easily and effectively refine metals. The microstructure and microtexture evolutions and grain boundary characteristics of the high purity aluminum(99.998%) processed by ECAP at room temperature are investigated by means of TEM and EBSD. The results indicate that the shear deformation resistance increases with repeated EACP passes, and equiaxed grains with an average size of 0.9 μm in diameter are formed after five passes. Although the orientations distribution of grains tends to evolve toward random orientations, and microtextures(80°, 35°, 0°),(40°, 75°, 45°) and(0°, 85°, 45°) peak in the sample after five passes. The grain boundaries in UFG aluminum are high-angle geometrically necessary boundaries. It is suggested that the continuous dynamic recrystallization is responsible for the formation of ultrafine grains in high purity aluminum. Microstructure evolution in the high purity aluminum during ECAP is proposed.展开更多

The technology of aluminum/copper clad composite fabricated by casting-cold extrusion was simulated by DEFORM software using tubes with four arc grooves. The stress and strain in different deformation zones were analyzed. The groove size reduces gradually and the groove shape drives to triangle during the extrusion procedure. The maximum values of equivalent effective stress and radial stress appear in groove zones, and the maximum equivalent effective strain firstly is obtained also in groove zones. The grain size in groove zones is less than that in other zones. The experimental results are consistent with simulation results, which prove that the copper tubes with sketch section are favorable to the metallurgy bond of boundary interface between aluminum and copper.展开更多

Comprehensive identification of these potential faults and fractures that cannot be distinguished directly from seismic profile of the complex structures is still an unanswered problem. Based on the compressional structural geometry and kinematics theories as well as the structural interpretation from seismic data, a set of techniques is established for the identification of potential faults and fractures in compressional structures. Firstly, three-dimensional(3D) patterns and characteristics of the faults directly interpreted from seismic profile were illustrated by 3D structural model. Then, the unfolding index maps, the principal structural curvature maps, and tectonic stress field maps were obtained from structural restoration. Moreover, potential faults and fractures in compressional structures were quantitatively identified relying on comprehensive analysis of these three maps. Successful identification of the potential faults and fractures in Mishrif limestone formation and in Asmari dolomite formation of Buzurgan anticline in Iraq demonstrates the applicability and reliability of these techniques.展开更多

The effects of spinneret structure on the melt spinning conditions, melt flow instability of the screw extrusion, and the performance of PEEK fibers were studied. The results show that the appropriate screw extrusion temperature is 370 385℃. The PEEK fibers extruded using the spinnerets with L/D=6, 8holes and 0.5mm in diameter have better performances. The performances of PEEK fibers are related to the dia- meter of the spinneret hole. Increasing the L/D value of the spinnerets can not always improve the surface quality and the performances of PEEK fibers. The extrusion pressure is about 50% of that of the spinneret with 12holes and 0.3mm in diameter.展开更多

文摘The effects of hot extrusion and addition of Al_(2)O_(3p) on both microstructure and tribological behavior of 7075 composites were investigated via optical microscopy(OM),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),energy dispersive spectrometry(EDS),and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).The experimental consequences reveal that the optimal addition of Al_(2)O_(3p) was 2 wt%.After hot extrusion,the Mg(Zn,Cu,Al)2 phases partially dissolve into the matrix and generate many uniformly distributed aging precipitation particles,the Al_(7)Cu_(2)Fe phases are squeezed and broken,and the Al_(2)O_(3p) become uniform distribution.The microhardness of as-extruded 2 wt%Al_(2)O_(3p)/7075 composites reaches HV 170.34,increased by 41.5%than as-cast composites.The wear rate of as-extruded 2 wt%Al_(2)O_(3p)/7075 composites is further lower than that of as-cast composites under the same condition.SEM-EDS analyses reveal that the reinforced wear resistance of composites can put down to the protective effect of the Al_(2)O_(3p) reinforced transition layer.After hot extrusion,the transition layer becomes stable,which determines the reinforced wear resistance of the as-extruded composites.
文摘Present numerical study examines the heat and mass transfer characteristics of magneto-hydrodynamic Casson fluid flow between two parallel plates under the influence of thermal radiation,internal heat generation or absorption and Joule dissipation effects with homogeneous first order chemical reaction.The non-Newtonian behaviour of Casson fluid is distinguished from those of Newtonian fluids by considering the well-established rheological Casson fluid flow model.The governing partial differential equations for the unsteady two-dimensional squeezing flow with heat and mass transfer of a Casson fluid are highly nonlinear and coupled in nature.The nonlinear ordinary differential equations governing the squeezing flow are obtained by imposing the similarity transformations on the conservation laws.The resulting equations have been solved by using two numerical techniques,namely Runge-Kutta fourth order integration scheme with shooting technique and bvp4c Matlab solver.The comparison between both the techniques is provided.Further,for the different set physical parameters,the numerical results are obtained and presented in the form of graphs and tables.However,in view of industrial use,the power required to generate the movement of the parallel plates is considerably reduced for the negative values of squeezing number.From the present investigation it is noticed that,due to the presence of stronger Lorentz forces,the temperature and velocity fields eventually suppressed for the enhancing values of Hartmann number.Also,higher values of squeezing number diminish the squeezing force on the fluid flow which in turn reduces the thermal field.Further,the destructive nature of the chemical reaction magnifies the concentration field;whereas constructive chemical reaction decreases the concentration field.The present numerical solutions are compared with previously published results and show the good agreement.
文摘According to the characters of poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) plastic, the spinnerets with three kinds of different structure were designed. The effects of spinneret structure on the melt spinning conditions, melt flow instability of the screw extrusion, and the performance of PEEK fibers were studied. The results show that the appropriate screw extrusion temperature is 370 385℃. The PEEK fibers extruded using the spinnerets with L/D=6, 8holes and 0.5mm in diameter have better performances. The performances of PEEK fibers are related to the dia- meter of the spinneret hole. Increasing the L/D value of the spinnerets can not always improve the surface quality and the performances of PEEK fibers. The extrusion pressure is about 50% of that of the spinneret with 12holes and 0.3mm in diameter.

文摘In order to present the microstructures of dynamic recrystallization(DRX) in different deformation zones of hot extruded NiTi shape memory alloy(SMA) pipe coupling,a simulation approach combining finite element method(FEM) with cellular automaton(CA) was developed and the relationship between the macroscopic field variables and the microscopic internal variables was established.The results show that there exists a great distinction among the microstructures in different zones of pipe coupling because deformation histories of these regions are diverse.Large plastic deformation may result in fine recrystallized grains,whereas the recrystallized grains may grow very substantially if there is a rigid translation during the deformation,even if the final plastic strain is very large.As a consequence,the deformation history has a significant influence on the evolution path of the DRX as well as the final microstructures of the DRX,including the morphology,the mean grain size and the recrystallization fraction.
