Kinetic analysis of dynamic point defect pinning in aluminium initiated by strain rate changes

The role of point defect production during deformation was examined by sealing the vacancy sinks in the grain boundaries with solutes to magnify its effect upon instantaneous strain-rate changes. AA1100 aluminium sheets were thermal-mechanically treated to result in a grain size of about 25 µm and in grain boundaries that were not capable of acting as efficient vacancy sinks. Tensile tests at various temperatures ranging from 78 to 300 K showed that above 195 K, the pinning effect could be quantitatively analysed. A rate equation analysis for mono- and di-vacancy recovery was adopted to perform fits to the deduced change in flow stress with time after strain-rate change from which apparent activation energies were derived. This examination indicates that the migrating species are predominantly di-vacancies. It is concluded that point-defect atmospheres have the capacity to glide in unison with mobile dislocations and hence are sensitive to the magnitude of the strain rate and temperature.     

A phenomenological model for bake hardening in minimal carbon steels

The essence of bake hardening is to exploit the classical strain ageing in a positive way to increase the strength of the formed steel sheets used in outer body panel of a passenger car during the paint-baking operation. A new model that takes into account the strengthening contributions from Cottrell atmosphere and precipitate formation has been developed in the present work. The model predicts the increase in strength as a function of the amount of free solute C (calculated as a function of the annealing temperature), the amount of deformation, ageing temperature and time. The model predictions have been found to agree quite well with the experimental results; the individual contributions of Cottrell atmosphere and precipitation strengthening have been quantified.     

地球大气系统对红外目标探测影响的分析

The influence of turbulence on propagation properties of partially coherent sinh-Gaussian beams and their beam quality in the far field

Based on the extended Huygens–Fresnel principle, the closed-form propagation equation of partially coherent Sinh-Gaussian (ShG) beams through the turbulent atmosphere has been derived by using the quadratic approximation of the Rytov's phase structure function. The influence of turbulence on propagation properties of partially coherent ShG beams and their beam quality in the far field are studied both analytically and numerical. The fully coherent ShG beam has been treated as a special case of the partially coherent ShG beam when the degree of spatial coherence α=∞. It is shown that in comparison with the free-space propagation the turbulence accelerates the evolution of three stages that partially coherent ShG beams undergo. The smaller α is, the less partially coherent ShG beams are affected by the turbulence. In particular, we find that the β parameter decreases as the decentered parameter δ increases, but the dependence of the Strehl ratio on δ is not monotonous. There exists an optimal δ_opt, the influence of turbulence on the maximum intensity of the corresponding partially coherent ShG beam with δ_opt is the smallest. Therefore, a suitable choice of δ may reduce the influence of turbulence on the beam quality in the far field in practice.     

Simple and sensitive determination of hydroxyl radical in atmosphere based on an electrochemically activated glassy carbon electrode

The hydroxyl radical (?OH) plays important roles in environment and health problems. However, the short life time and low concentrations of ?OH limited its detection. In this work, a simple method has been successfully performed for the sensitive detection of hydroxyl radical based on an activated glassy carbon electrode (AGCE).4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HBA) was used as a trapping agent for ?OH radicals, leading to the production of electroactive 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (3,4-DHBA). Different procedures including polarisation and cyclic voltammetry in acid or base solutions have been used to activate the glassy carbon electrodes. The electrochemical behaviours of 3,4-DHBA on these activated electrodes were studied and compared. Experimental results showed that the glassy carbon electrode polarised in H₂SO₄ (AGCE-P/H₂SO₄) has the greatest sensitivity and reproducibility to 3,4-DHBA. 3,4-DHBA performed a linear relationship from 1.0 × 10^?7 to 1.0 × 10^?4 M on the AGCE-P/H₂SO₄. The detection limit was down to 6.2 × 10^?8 M. This method has been successfully applied for the detection of hydroxyl radical levels in atmosphere without separation and purification process.     

Preparation and optical properties of CeF3-containing oxide fluoride glasses

Cerium-containing oxide fluoride glasses CeF₃-BaF₂-AlF₃-SiO₂ were prepared under CO and Ar atmospheres. The glass prepared in a CO atmosphere exhibited blue emission under UV irradiation because the hydrolysis of CeF₃ to a Ce⁴⁺-containing compound during heating process was controlled. The emission spectrum was separable into three peak components by peak analysis. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra were measured to investigate the valency of the elements in the glass. Oxide and fluoride ions in the glass respectively have different electronic states from those in CeO₂ and CeF₃. The electronic state of cerium ion in the oxide fluoride glass differed from that in CeO₂ and CeF₃.     

Effects of sintering atmospheres on sintering behavior, electrical conductivity and oxygen permeability of mixed-conducting membranes

Effects of sintering atmospheres on properties of SrCo_0.4Fe_0.5Zr_0.1O_3−δ mixed-conducting membranes were in detail studied in terms of sintering behavior, electrical conductivity and oxygen permeability. The sintering atmospheres were 100% N₂, 79% N₂–21% O₂, 60% N₂–40% O₂, 40% N₂–60% O₂, 20% N₂–80% O₂ and 100% O₂ (in vol.%), and the prepared membranes were correspondingly denoted as S-0, S-21, S-40, S-60, S-80 and S-100, respectively. It was found that the properties of membranes were strongly dependent on the sintering atmosphere. As the oxygen partial pressure in the sintering atmosphere (P_O2) increased, sintering ability, electrical conductivity and oxygen permeability decreased at first, which was in the order of S-0 > S-21 > S-40. However, as P_O2 increased further, sintering ability, electrical conductivity and oxygen permeability increased gradually: S-40 < S-60 < S-80 < S-100. And the S-100 membrane had the best sintering ability, electrical conductivity and oxygen permeability in all membranes.
