2006, 26(6): 1-5.
Abstract:
Microstructures and phase compositions of Ti-23Al-25Nb alloy after different heat treatment were analyzed by SEM and XRD.The form of element of Y in original structure was analyzed by TEM.The results show that the element of Y is in the form of Y2O3.Being as the addition of element of Y,diffraction peaks of O-phase increase,and the compression properties of Ti-23Al-25Nb alloy such as compression strength and compressibility increase.Strengthening effect of Y is the result of combined action of dispersion strengthening of Y2O3 and grain boundary strengthening of Y.

2006, 26(6): 6-11.
Abstract:
Multiaxial fatigue behavior of superalloy GH4169 was investigated by using the thin tubular multiaxial fatigue specimens under proportional and non-proportional loadings at high temperature.The relationship between the cyclic stress response and the cyclic number was studied by recording the experimental data.The experimental results showed that the fatigue life was decreased under nonproportional loading.In the entire fatigue process,the torsional stress response always showed the cyclic softening.The characteristics of cyclic hardening or softening for tensional stress response depended on the strain loading paths and the loading parameters.With the cyclic number increase,the creep phenomenon was gradually showed under multiaxial loading at high temperature.

2006, 26(6): 17-20.
Abstract:
The traditional damage location index based on frequence was obtained by ignoring the second rank term in structural movement disturbed equation.There was likely to exist miscarriage of justice when it was applied to identify structural damage location.On the base of the traditional method,an improved method of frequence was given.Finally,the results of numerical value simulation experiment of composite material cantilever girder showed that the improved method was more effective than original method.

PENG Wei-wei, LING Xiang
2006, 26(6): 30-37.
Abstract:
A non-linear elastic-plastic finite element method to predict the residual stress distribution induced by Laser Shock Processing(LSP) in the AISI 304 stainless steel was established.This two dimensional FEA model considered the dynamic material properties at high strain rates(106s-1) and the precise determination of loading conditions. Effects of laser power density,laser spot size,laser pulse duration,multiple LSP processes and one/two-sided LSP on the compressive stress field in the stainless steel were(evaluated) for the purpose of optimizing the process.Numerical results have a good agreement with the measurement values by X-ray diffraction method and also show that the magnitude of compressive stress induced by laser shock processing is more than the welding residual stress.Therefore,laser shock processing is an effective method for protecting weldments against stress corrosion crack.

HAN Jie-cai, LI Xiao-hai, CHEN Gui-qing, MENG Song-he
2006, 26(6): 38-41.
Abstract:
The sheet metal of a new Nibased superalloy was prepared by Electron Beam Physical Vapor Deposition(EBPVD) technology.Microhardness tester and transmission electron microscope were used to study the change of room temperature microhardness,coarsening behavior and morphological change of γ′ precipitates.Results show that γ′ precipitates coarsened by the step growth mechanism change from approximately round shape to regular order cubic one with the increase of aging temperature.Growth of γ′ precipitates proceeds by Ostwald ripening controlled by volume diffusion of solute atoms.The activation energy for growth are evaluated as 266.18kJ·mol-1 for this alloy.The decrease in room temperature microhardness and the softening of alloy can be attributed to the growth of γ′ precipitates in the alloy.

ZHANG Ning, LIN Jun-pin, WANG Yan-li, CHEN Guo-liang
2006, 26(6): 42-45.
Abstract:
Influence of Y-addition on the long-term oxidation behavior of high Nb containing TiAl alloys was studied.The results showed that the oxidation rates,structures of scale as well as the scale spallation resistance were closely related to the concentrations of Y.Under isothermal oxidation at 900℃,a small amount of Y-addition(0.4at%) was effective in improving the oxidation resistance.However,the alloys with higher Y contents(0.6 and 0.8 at%) had a detrimental effect on the oxidation resistance after initial isothermal exposure.Oxidized samples were examined by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),energy dispersive x-ray analysis(EDX) and x-ray diffraction analysis(XRD),it was found that a small amount of Y-addition(0.4at%) was effective in improving the oxidation resistance by refineing the oxide particles,promoting formation of a protective continuous Al2O3 scale and improving the adherence of the oxide scale.

ZHANG Rong-fa, HE Xiang-ming, SHAN Da-yong, HAN En-hou
2006, 26(6): 46-49.
Abstract:
In Magoxid process,the plasma anodizing process on magnesium was studied.It was classified into three stages: traditional anodization,micro-arc anodization and arcing.With anodization proceeding,the applied voltage increased and the transition from micro-arc to arcing stage took place.Initially,both micro-arc and arcing sparks mainly concentrated on edges of the sample and then covered the entire surface.Compared to micro-arc stage,the sparks on arcing decreased greatly in number,became bigger and their lifetime increased.Corresponding to spark changes,the pores of anodic coatings decreased in number but increased in diameter.After 10 min anodization,anodic coatings turned to no evidently porous structure.

2006, 26(6): 50-54.
Abstract:
Considering the strong nonlinear characteristics of Metal Rubber(MR) material in the axial direction,the original method of damping measurement based on curve fitting was improved in order to eliminate the error of fitting,and the accuracy was advanced.To meet the need of reducing vibration in extreme conditions such as at high or low temperature,the fixed disc MR damper was designed and the test research on its damping performance at high-low temperature was made.Results showed that MR damper designed exhibited good and stable damping performance with the temperature ranging from-70 to 300℃,and its dynamic average rigidity descended with the rising temperature.The dependence of its damping performance and bearing capacity on temperature was far smaller than that of viscoelastic material.

2006, 26(6): 68-71.
Abstract:
The compressive properties of 3-D Kevlar/epoxy woven composites at quasi-static and high strain rate loadings were investigated to evaluate the compressive failure mode at different strain rate.The through-thickness compressive properties at high strain rates were tested using the split Hopkinson bar(SHPB) technique.The compressive properties at quasi-static strain rate were also tested and compared with those at high strain rates.The results indicate that the stress-strain curves are rate sensitive and compressive stiffness,maximum compressive stress of the 3-D Kevlar/epoxy woven composites linearly increase with the strain rate.The compressive failure of the composites specimen tends to be in shear failure mode and it is completely broken at high strain rates while only compressive deformation can be observed in quasi-static loading.

WANG Jie-liang, LIANG Guo-zheng, ZHAO Wen, LüSheng-hua, MA Xiao-yan
2006, 26(6): 72-76.
Abstract:
Poly vinyl pyrrolidone(PVP) was employed to improve the toughness of bisphenol A dicyanate ester resin.Hydrothermal performance of the modified systems was systematically studied.Moisture takeup of the cured resins increased with the increasing of the weight percentage of PVP.Mechanical properties of the modified systems were largely improved by the introducing of PVP.The residual flexural and impact strength after ageing were improved from 38.8% and 35.5% to 86.8% and 66.1% respectively when 5wt% of PVP were introduced.On the same time,however,the introducing of PVP had little influence on the thermal performance,dielectric properties and shape stability.The modified system with 5wt% PVP showed the best performance overall.

WEI Gang, PENG Ya, LONG Sheng-ru, HUANG Rui
2006, 26(6): 77-80.
Abstract:
The brittle-to-ductile transition of poly(butylene terephthalate) synergistically toughened by anhydride grafted poly(ethylene-octene) copolymer elastomer(POE-g-MAH) and thermoplastic resin(PC) was investigated.The morphologies of dispersion phase and fractured surfaces were observed and analyzed with the help of scanning electron microscope(SEM).And the toughening mechanism was also approached.The brittle-to-ductile transition of the blends was observed at a lower POE-g-MAH content for the addition of PC.When POE-g-MAH content was up to 10%,the notched impact strength of the blend with PBT/PC mass ratio of 50/50 was up to 78kJ/m2,with the tensile strength up to 52.5MPa.SEM micrographs showed that the dispersed phase of PC took a very irregular microstructure of slat-like or plate-like shape at higher content of PC.It should be noted that the particular phase morphology of PC covered with a soft layer of POE-g-MAH was the principal mechanisms of strengthening and toughening of the ternary blends.
