Effects of the triple junction types on the grain boundary carbide precipitation in a nickel-based superalloy,a statistical analysis

The morphology evolution of carbide precipitated on grain boundary nearby different triple junctions in grain boundary engineering (GBE) treated nickel-based Inconel Alloy 690 aged at 715°C for different time was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction. The results show that, the diversity of triple junction types was increased by GBE significantly. The size and morphology of grain boundary carbide were not only affected by the grain boundary character, but also the nearby grain boundary character at the triple junction. The higher Σ values of the nearby grain boundaries, the larger carbide precipitated on the other grain boundary. Based on the experimental results, the effects of grain boundary characters and triple junction types on the carbide precipitation behaviours are discussed.

非负载镍催化剂的2-乙基蒽醌加氢活性及其氢吸脱附性质

 分别制备了金属镍粉、兰尼镍、Ni-B非晶态合金及镧掺杂的Ni-B非晶态合金(Ni-B-La)催化剂,研究了催化剂的氢吸附和脱附性质以及对2-乙基蒽醌加氢反应的催化性能. 结果表明,金属镍粉、兰尼镍和Ni-B催化剂表面均具有两种氢吸附位: 弱吸附位和强吸附位. Ni-B-La催化剂表面只有氢的强吸附位,其强吸附氢量与兰尼镍相当. 推测只有氢的强吸附位是2-乙基蒽醌加氢反应的活性中心,并且Ni-B-La催化剂上的强吸附氢较兰尼镍上的更活泼,因而Ni-B-La非晶态合金催化剂对加氢反应的催化活性高于兰尼镍.

The effect of frequency and sample shape on fatigue behaviors of DZ125 superalloy

The effect of frequency and sample shape on fatigue behaviors of DZ125 superalloy are systematically studied. The results show that fatigue fracture still occurs above the cycle of 10⁸ for tests carried out at the frequency of f = 20 kHz and stress ratio R = ?1, so the traditional fatigue limit at cycle of 10⁷ is not appropriate for fatigue design. Fatigue fracture surfaces are perpendicular to stress axis for cylindrical and plate specimens, and the fatigue cracks originate from the extra surface of the specimens. Fatigue crack is apt to propagate from cutting direction to forward direction, which occurs mainly in the second propagation stage at higher stress amplitude. There is an obvious frequency effect for DZ125 superalloy. The higher the test frequency is, the more serious the effect of frequency on fatigue behaviors of the alloy. After the frequency correction, the ultra-high cycle fatigue S-N curve well coincide with the traditional fatigue S-N curve.

Effect of H impurity on misfit dislocation in Ni-based single-crystal superalloy： molecular dynamic simulations

The effect of H impurity on the misfit dislocation in Ni-based single-crystal superalloy is investigated using the molecular dynamic simulation.It includes the site preferences of H impurity in single crystals Ni and Ni 3 Al,the interaction between H impurity and the misfit dislocation and the effect of H impurity on the moving misfit dislocation.The calculated energies and simulation results show that the misfit dislocation attracts H impurity which is located at the γ/γˊinterface and Ni₃ Al and H impurity on the glide plane can obstruct the glide of misfit dislocation,which is beneficial to improving the mechanical properties of Ni based superalloys.     

Ni基催化剂上的乙烷部分氧化制合成气

There is abundant supply of light alkanes and relatively few routes of converting them to more valuable products. Although CH4 predominates in natural gas, it also contains C2H6, C3H8 and C4H10 (from 5 % to 30% ), and with C2H6 as the most abundant secondary component[1]. Partial oxidation of methane to syngas (CH4 +0.5O2 →CO + 2H2) over nickel-based catalysts has received intensive attention[2]and much research has been devoted to conversion of ethane to ethylene[3]. Ethylene has been shown to be formed from ethane by thermal dehydrogenation (C2H6 →C2H4 + H2) and oxidative dehydrogenation (C2H6 + 0. 5O2 →C2H4 + H2O). These processes are operated under severely fuel-rich conditions. The carbon-deposition and consequent deactivation of the catalysts are major problems, which leads to poor conversion of the above mentioned reactions. As an alternative strategy for the elaboration of ethane, little work on the partial oxidation of ethane (POE) to syngas over nickel-based catalysts has been reported. Provided it could be produced from C2H6with high selectivity and high conversion over nickel-based catalysts, syngas could be directly obtained from natural gas including CH4 and C2H6 with high selectivity and conversion. This may lead to better utilization of the light fractions from natural gas and refineries. In the present paper, POE to syngas over nickel-based catalysts was investigated.     

镍基单晶超合金Ni/Ni3Al晶界的分子动力学模拟

在镍基单晶超合金中，由于单晶Ni的晶格常数比单晶Ni₃Al的稍小，在Ni/Ni3Al晶界面 上必然要出现错配.采用分子动力学模拟了镍基单晶超合金的Ni/Ni₃Al晶界的结 构，考虑 了两个不同的初始模型，并进行了分子动力学弛豫.弛豫的结果均表明：由于晶格的差异形 成的错配能不是通过长程晶格错配的方式来释放，而是通过在局部区域形成位错的方式释放 的.由于Ni₃Al相周围Ni相环境的不同，形成的位错也有所不同. 关键词： 镍基单晶超合金 晶界 分子动力学模拟     

Methane Decomposition into Carbon Fibers over Coprecipitated Nickel-Based Catalysts

Decomposition of methane in the presence of coprecipitated nickel-based catalysts to produce carbon fibers was investigated. The reaction was studied in the temperature range of 773 K to 1073 K. At 1023 K, the catalytic activities of three catalysts kept high at the initial period and then decreased with the reaction time. The lifetimes of Ni-Cu-Al and Ni-La-Al catalysts are longer than that of Ni-Al catalyst. With three catalysts, the yield of carbon fibers was very low at 773 K. The yield of carbon fibers for Ni-La-Al catalyst was more than those for Ni-Al and Ni-Cu-Al catalysts. For Ni-La-Al catalyst, the elevation of temperature from 873 K up to 1073 K led gradually to an increase in the yield of carbon fibers. XRD studies on the Ni-La-Al catalyst indicate that La2NiO4 was formed. The formation of La2NiO4 is responsible for the increase in the catalytic lifetime and the yield of carbon fibers synthesized on Ni-La-Al at 773 1073 K. Carbon fibers synthesized on Ni-Al catalyst are thin, long carbon nanotubes. There are bamboo-shaped carbon fibers synthesized on Ni-Cu-Al catalyst. Carbon fibers synthesized on Ni-La-Al catalyst have large hollow core, thin wall and good graphitization.
