简介:基于轻质、高强和耐磨等诸多优势,铝基碳化硼复合材料已成为集结构/功能一体化的新型材料。本文采用粉末冶金及轧制方法,制备出厚度3.5mm、碳化硼质量分数为33%的B4C/Al复合材料板材,并对其疲劳性能和断裂机制进行分析。在1×107循环次数下,铝基碳化硼复合材料板材的疲劳强度达到110MPa。采用SEM对疲劳断口进行观察,结果表明B4C/Al复合材料疲劳断口可清楚的看到裂纹的萌生、扩展和失稳断裂的典型特征,但存在多种形式的疲劳启裂源。疲劳裂纹扩展路径取决于裂纹尖端塑性区的半径和B4C颗粒的间距大小,当增强颗粒的间距小于塑性区半径时,裂纹主要沿着颗粒的连接界面或断裂的碳化硼颗粒扩展,当增强颗粒的间距大于塑性区半径时,有利于裂纹尖端钝化,减缓裂纹的扩展和方向改变。
简介:C3植物C4植物C3—C4中间植物在解剖结构和生理生化方面存在一定差异,C4植物与C3植物相比为低CO2补偿点,低光呼吸的高光合效率植物。而C3—C4中间植物则介于C3植物和C4植物之间。这类中间植物为研究C4植物进化,光呼吸如何降低提供了实验系统。
简介:采用粉末冶金快速热压法制备B4C/Al中子吸收材料,对其进行T6态热处理,通过对材料的密度、硬度与抗弯强度等性能的测试以及材料微观组织、物相组成和弯曲断口形貌的观察与分析,研究成形压力、热压压力与温度以及B4C颗粒含量的影响。结果表明,B4C/Al复合材料的物相组成为Al和B4C;B4C颗粒均匀地镶嵌在基体中,颗粒与基体结合紧密。材料密度随压制压力增加而增大,随B4C含量增加而降低,在热压压力和温度共同作用下,铝合金液充分填充压坯孔隙从而实现高致密。当B4C的质量分数为30%时,在150MPa预成形压力下压制、530℃/10MPa条件下热压后所得B4C/Al复合材料的相对密度最高,达到99.87%,断裂方式为韧性断裂。经T6态热处理后,硬度HB和抗弯强度均提高,分别达到123.49和394.117MPa,断裂方式转变为脆性断裂。
