The effect of nitridation on the tensile strength of the fiber was investigated in this work. Nitridation could degrade the tensile strength of the SiC fiber if the treating temperature and time are not optimized. The chemical reaction between the W core and SiC and the modification of fiber microstructure during the nitridation are responsible for the degradation in strength. The strength can be maintained by further optimization of the treating temperature and time. Therefore, stabilizing the surface of TiBx coating and hence the interface of the SiCf/Ti composite by the nitridation of the SiC fiber is a feasible technique for practical applications.展开更多

Two kinds of composite wires with different magnetic/non-magnetic structures were fabricated by using electroless deposition methods and the magnetoimpedance properties were investigated. The maximum GMI ratio of 114% was acquired at 60 MHz in the composite wires with a ferromagnetic core, whereas, 116% of maximum GMI ratio was found in the composite wires with a conductive core at low frequency of 600 k Hz. These results exhibit that the GMI ratio reaches the maximum when magnetoresistance ratio ?R/R and magnetoinductance ratio ?X/X make the comparative contributions to the total magnetoimpedance(MI). The obvious GMI effect obtained in the composite wires with conductive core frequency may provide a candidate for applications in magnetic sensors, especially at low frequencies.展开更多

As such, they are very suitable for applications in bullet-proof targets. Here, a numerical model based on the conventional theory of strain gradient plasticity and the Johnson–Cook failure criterion is employed to study the influences of volume fraction of NT regions on their ballistic performance.The results show that in general a relatively small twin spacing（4–10 nm） and a moderate volume fraction（7%–20%） will lead to excellent limit velocity and that the influences of volume fraction on limit displacement change with the category of impact processes.展开更多

文摘Prenitridation of the TiBx coating surface of the Sigma SM1240 SiC fiber can form more stable compounds at the surface and obstruct the release of boron atoms into the Ti-based alloy matrix. The effect of nitridation on the tensile strength of the fiber was investigated in this work. Nitridation could degrade the tensile strength of the SiC fiber if the treating temperature and time are not optimized. The chemical reaction between the W core and SiC and the modification of fiber microstructure during the nitridation are responsible for the degradation in strength. The strength can be maintained by further optimization of the treating temperature and time. Therefore, stabilizing the surface of TiBx coating and hence the interface of the SiCf/Ti composite by the nitridation of the SiC fiber is a feasible technique for practical applications.
