Using Tp and Fe-C binary thermodynamic model, the driving forces for phase transformation from austenite to pearlite in multicomponent steels have been successfully calculated. Through the combination of simplified Zener and Hillert's model for pearlite growth with Johnson-Mehl equation, using data from known TTT diagrams, the interfacial energy parameter and activation energy for pearlite formation can be determined and expressed as functions of chemical composition in steels by regression analysis. The calculated starting curves of pearlitic transformation in some commercial steels agree well with the experimental data.展开更多

In this model, the α/γ interface is treated as non-equilibrium interface, i.e., the carbon concentration of austenite at γ/α interface is obtained through theoretical calculation, instead of that assumed as the local equilibrium concentration. For isothermal precipitation of ferrite in Fe-C alloys, the calculated results show that the rate of interface migration decreases monotonically during the whole process, while the rate of carbon diffusion from γ/α interface into austenite increases to a peak value and then decreases. The process of ferrite growth may be considered as composed of three stages: the period of rapid growth, slow growth and finishing stage. The results also show that the carbon concentration of austenite at γ/α interface could not reach the thermodynamic equilibrium value even at the last stage of ferrite growth.展开更多

By introducing Tf and basing on the thermodynamic model for Fe-C binary alloy, the driving force for phase transformation from austenite to proeutectoid ferrite in multicomponent steels has been successfully calculated. Through the Johnson-Mehl equation and using the data hem known TTT diagrams, the relationship between the chemical composition and the intedecial edenly packeter as well as activation energy for proeutectoid ferrite formation can be calculated. The starting curves of proeutectoid ferritic transformation calculated in this way in some hypo-proeutectoid structural steels agree well with the erperimental data.展开更多

It shows a good agreement with the results of electric resistance measurement.Applying the Landau's theory,a quantitative relationship between M_s and the ordering parameter of the parent phase is set up,which is well confirmed by the results of X-ray diffraction and electric resistance measurement.The activation energy of the ordering process in the parent phase of the alloy is calculated to be 46 kJ/mol.展开更多

The precise lattice constants required were obtained by numerical calculation instead of using standard sample without any fault. The influence of internal stress on the determined a has been evaluated, and the caused relative error was determined as about 4% and thus negligible. The results show that the deformation fault probability increases with decreasing Mn-content and increasing cycle number, which are qualitatively consistent with those results of Psf determined by peak-broadening method.展开更多

So, the solute-depleted zone cannot be formed by spinodal decomposition. Dislocation density required by the formation of solute-depleted zone is estimated greater than 7.89×109 cm-2, according to the segregation of solute atoms around dislocations, which is not consistent with the practical situation for the alloy at 523 K. Associated with the internal friction experimental fact that internal friction peaks appear within the incubation for bainitic transformation in Cu-Zn-AI alloy, the equilibrium temperature, TO, is evaluated as 433 K for solute-depleted Cu-25Zn-3.4AI, which is lower than the experimental temperature 523 K. Thus, nucleation by shear mechanism is impossible in this circumstance. Therefore, it is concluded that, like bainite in steels and Ag-Cd, bainite in Cu-Zn-AI alloys nucleates by diffusional mechanism, just implied by the experimental existence of solute-depleted zone.展开更多

A semi-automated image analysis system and paraphenylenediamine (PPD) stain were employed to resolve sufficiently the microvascular images for counts and measurement.Results: There were 150 vessels distributed in the optic nerves which revealed the following: The average lumen of the vessels in outer sectors were larger than those of the inner sector vessels (168. 17μm2vs. 46. 99μm2; p = 0. 0338;OD; and 251. 96μm2vs. 130.02μm2;p = 0.029;OS) while in the normal control optic nerve the outer and inner area lumens were reversed in size-differential, but this did not show a statistical difference. The thickness of the PTC optic nerve vessel walls in the outer sectors was also greater than that of the walls in the inner sectors (4. 95μm vs. 2. 67μm;展开更多

文摘By combining the α/γ interface migration and the carbon diffusion at the interface in Fe-C alloys, a mathematical model is constructed to describe the mixed-control mechanism for proeutectoid ferrite formation from austenite. In this model, the α/γ interface is treated as non-equilibrium interface, i.e., the carbon concentration of austenite at γ/α interface is obtained through theoretical calculation, instead of that assumed as the local equilibrium concentration. For isothermal precipitation of ferrite in Fe-C alloys, the calculated results show that the rate of interface migration decreases monotonically during the whole process, while the rate of carbon diffusion from γ/α interface into austenite increases to a peak value and then decreases. The process of ferrite growth may be considered as composed of three stages: the period of rapid growth, slow growth and finishing stage. The results also show that the carbon concentration of austenite at γ/α interface could not reach the thermodynamic equilibrium value even at the last stage of ferrite growth.

文摘By expanding the Gibbs free energy of a ternary system into a Taylor series with respect to the composition,a thermodynamic criterion of spinodal decomposition is conducted as G_(xx)(δx)2+2G_(xx)δxδy+G_(yy)(δy)~2<0,from which,various conditions of spinodal decomposition are discussed.When G_(xx)<0 G_(xy)~2-G_(xx)G_(yy)<0,it is called unstable decomposition unrestricted by the direction of composition fluctuation;when G_(xx)<0,G_(xy)~2-G_(xx)G_(yy)>0,or G_(xx)>0, G_(xy)~2-G_(xx)G_(yy)>0,as well as G_(xx)=0,are all considered as unstable decomposition restricted by the direction of composition fluctuation δx and δy.The phenomenon of turning round in composition during spinodal decomposition is attempted to be explained from above point of view.The computer calculated ranges of unstable decomposition according to the criterion of spinodal decomposition on Cu-Ni-Fe ternary system is consistent with the experimental re- sults obtained from literatures.
文摘The correlation between the shape memory effect(SME)and the ordering degree in martensite formed through various heat-treatment processes,e.g.ice water quenching, step-quenching and aging etc.,has been studied in a Cu-26Zn-4Al alloy.The martensite or- dering degree is estimated by △d,the spacing difference of some pairs of diffracting planes with indices satisfying a relation of(h_1~2-h_2~2)/3=(k_2~2-k_1~2)/n(n=1 for 9R martensite,n=4 for 18R martensite).M 18R martensite is obtained from step-quenching,in which the value of △d increases with the holding duration of step-quenching,and the shape recovery rate η increases synchronouslly.9R martensite is obtained from direct water-quenching,the value of △d is quite large and SME is also good at just quenching state.But both △d and η decrease continuously with aging time at room temperature.This stabilization phe- nomenon of martensite is explained by the observation of TEM lattice fringe image,and it may be attributed to the clustering of quenched-in supersaturated vacancies at (001)_M close-packed plane in martensite and decreasing the ordering degree.A reduction in △d and η occuring in the specimens on step-quenching or aging at higher temperature, which may be related to the precipitation of the α-phase and the enrichment of solute atoms, decreases the ordering degree.
