A New Age of Materials Science and Engineering
Zhenye ZHAO
2016, 36(3): 1-6.
Abstract:
The "four essential factors" of materials science and engineering,including composition (component) and structure, synthesis and process, property and service behavior, were explained. The proposal of "four essential factors" ends the chaotic state of materials research and bridges the gulf between the theory and industry. Based on these, reliable materials with ultimate congenital properties are obtained, and advanced materials can be developed rapidly. Moreover, author raised the concept of "two whole processes", namely the whole process of materials development and the whole process of materials application research. The implementation of the two whole processes on a high level can ensure the acquisition of reliable and useful materials with ultimate congenital and ultimate service properties, which will lead "materials science and engineering" into a new era and enable China to be a powerful country in the field of materials.

Abstract:
Graphene has attracted wide interest of academic and industrial circles due to its superior physical and chemical properties. The functionalization of graphene helps improve its dispersion, and adjusts its performances according to specific needs, thus enables wide applications of graphene, and becomes a hot spot of graphene related researches. This review introduced the recent advances of graphene functionalization, presents covalent and non-covalent methods of functional modification, and described applications of the modified graphene in composite materials, energy storing, optical electronics, chemical catalyzing, pollution processing, biology material and sensors. We concluded the characteristics of functionalized graphene that most of reactive groups can show their own practical properties very actively when being connected to the graphene surface. There will be two main research orientations in functionalized graphene field: one is quantifying, which is to determine and control the quantity of introduced functional species; the other is positioning that is to select the modification sites precisely and to design their fine chemical structures.

Abstract:
Graphene materials with excellent mechanical and physical properties as well as two-dimensional flexible morphology are ideal reinforcement nanofillers for aluminum matrix nanocomposites. Rapid progress in graphene materials and nanocomposites fabricating technology promotes the development of advanced graphene reinforced aluminum matrix nanocomposites for structural and functional applications. Nevertheless, the dispersion of graphene nanofillers within aluminum matrix and the interfacial controlling between them remain longstanding challenges in the fabrication of graphene reinforced aluminum matrix nanocomposites. This paper focused on the recent development of the fabrication and characterization of graphene reinforced aluminum matrix nanocomposites, including the dispersion and consolidation technology of graphene reinforced aluminum matrix nanocomposites as well as their structural characters and mechanical behaviors. The mechanical performances of aluminum matrix were remarkably enhanced by the introduction of graphene, which can increase further by optimizing process parameters, improving microstructure and controlling interface between aluminum and graphene. Furthermore, in order to realize the engineering application, more investigation should be given on the corrosion, thermal and electrical properties. It is also very important to develop a new method with low cost and large-scale production. As a novel 2-dimension structure and unique surface state of graphene, the reinforcing and toughening mechanism was discussed.

Abstract:
The research progress of heat resistance, cold resistance, electrical conductivity and damping properties of aviation silicone rubber were reviewed in this article. The heat resistance properties of silicone rubber can be enhanced by changing the molecular structure (main chain, end-group, side chain and molecular weight) of the gum and adding special heat-resistance filler. The cold resistance of aviation silicone rubber can be enhanced by adjusting the side chain molecular structure of the gum and the content of different gum chain. The electrical conductivity of silicone rubber can be improved by optimizing, blending and dispersing of conductive particles. The damping property of silicone rubber can be improved by designing and synthesizing of high-molecular polysiloxane damping agent. Furthermore, the application of aviation silicone rubber used in high-low temperature seal, electrical conduction and vibration damping technology are also summarized, and the high performance (for example long-term high temperature resistance, ultralow temperature resistance, high electromagnetic shelding, long-term fatigue resistance vibration damping, quasi constant modulus and so on) of special silicone rubber is the future direction of aviation silicone rubber.

Abstract:
Naval aircrafts are in parking condition in 90% of their life time. The most important factors that influence the environmental adaptability of naval aircrafts include marine atmospheric environment and the induced environment formed by heat and waste air from equipments. The main environmental damage of foreign naval aircrafts during service is the corrosion of structures and components, which is the most severe safety issue for aeronautical equipment. Naval aircrafts in China exhibits environmental damage related to structures, components and electronic devices. Environmental adaptability research on foreign naval aircrafts is focused on accumulation of shipborne environmental data, new testing methods for the shipborne environment, the combination of environmental testing methods and naval aircraft life time task characters, and the application of naval aircraft environmental data. Environmental adaptability research of naval aircrafts in China is mainly in three aspects: measurement and analysis of shipborne environment, the impact of shipborne environment, and environmental testing methods for simulation of shipborne environment. The future research is outlooked. It is considered that the changing rules of environmental effects of typical materials, corrosion susceptible structures, and aircraft electric products in shipborne environment should be studied. Environment factor data should be accumulated with the corresponding environment spectrum established. Laboratory testing methods and equipment simulating accelerated shipborne environment should be established for corrosion susceptible structures in order to support the environmental engineering work for naval aircraft.

2016, 36(3): 132-140.
Abstract:
The effects of Ru on the as-cast, heat-treated microstructures and stress rupture properties under 1100-1150 ℃ were investigated in new generation Ni-based single crystal superalloys DD22 with two levels of Ru (0% and 2%, mass fraction) additions. The results indicate that the addition of Ru results in the decrease of the solidus and liquidus temperatures, the volume fraction of (γ+γ') eutectic as well as solidification segregation. The size of γ' phase and elemental partitioning ratio of Re and Cr which are important for the precipitation of TCP phase decreases after heat treatment with Ru addition. Ru addition decreases the size of γ' phase, increases γ/γ' misfit and solution strengthening effect and inhibits the precipitation of TCP phase in the process of stress rupture loading, which finally improve the stress rupture properties of DD22 alloy significantly.
