HUANG Wen-jun, SUN Yong-bo, CHENG Xiao-quan, NIE Hong. Tensile Property of Single Countersunk Bolt Composite Laminate Joints[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2013, 0(12): 8-12.
A 3D finite element progressive damage model was established with ABAQUS software.The offset bearing failure load of the single countersunk bolt composite laminate joint was calculated, and the damage mechanism and failure course were analyzed.

CUI Xue-fei, MI Xu-jun, LIN Chen-guang, HUI Song-xiao, WEI Yan-guang, TAO Hai-ming. Research on Hot Compressive Behavior of Ti-5Mo-5V-1Cr-3Al Alloy[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2013, 0(12): 19-26.
Isothermal compression test was carried out for Ti-5Mo-5V-1Cr-3Al (abbreviated as 1Cr) alloy in the temperature range of 700-900℃ and in the strain rate range of 0.001-1s-1. The results show that the flow stress is sensitive to the deformation temperature and the strain rate. Dynamic recrystallization occurs in the temperature range of 700-800℃. In the temperature range of 800-900℃, multi-peaks stress dynamic recrystallization exhibits in the low strain rate of 0.001s-1 and dynamic recovery exhibits in the strain rate range of 0.01-1s-1. The flow stress behaviors of Ti-5Mo-5V-1Cr-3Al alloy during the isothermal compression could be expressed by the Arrhenius constitutive equation including Zener-Holomon parameters. The hot deformation activation energy is 456kJ/mol. The metallographic results indicate that the dynamic behavior of the material in hot compression process is affected by not only the rate and the temperature of the deformation, but also the microstructure and phase structure of the material. During hot compression deformation under a low strain rate of 0.001s-1, the alloy presents the dynamic recrystallization behavior even near the phase transition point or the higher temperature (800-900℃), which is closely related to the martensitic transformation induced by the strain. The precipitation of the martensite promotes dynamic recrystallization behavior during the hot deformation.
GUO Xia, GUAN Zhi-dong, LIU Sui, YAN Dong-xiu, LIU Wei-ping, SUN Kai. Effect of Repair Process on Flexural Behavior of Honeycomb Sandwich Structures with Closed Edgewise[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2013, 0(12): 27-31.
The flexural behavior of the repaired honeycomb sandwich structures with closed edgewise, was investigated by four-point bending test. The influence of damage type, damage size and repair equipment on bending performance of the repaired plate was analyzed. The results show that the strength recovery of all the repaired plate is more than 90%. The effect of autoclave is a little better than the effect of hot honder. The bending strength recovery with different damage sizes is almost the same with each other when the quality of bonding is good.But the large damage size need better bonding quality. The bending strength recovery of repaired honeycomb structures on the flatwise is larger than that on the closed edgewise.

On the basis of the morphology of organism's surface,bionic non-smooth coatings of wave and plane-type on 45 steel were prepared by laser cladding. The abrasive wear test was carried out with abrasion tester, and the wear scar was observed.The wear mechanism was analyzed. The results show that the wear resistance of plane type coating is remarkably better than that of the wave type. The criterion for designing and preparing a good wear-resistant coating is:geometric hardening rate(GHR) was no less than 50%. The wear mechanism of wave-type coating is that the hardening belt's non-smooth surface and the impact of the grinding head function together. The wear mechanism of flat-type coating is the combination of the wear mechanisms of the hardening belt's non-smooth surface and its non-smooth geometric surface morphology.

The composite powder of Mo-(NiCr-Cr3C2) was mechanically blended and deposited using atmospheric plasma spraying. The mechanical property and tribological performance of the prepared coating were tested. The results show that the porosity and the microhardness of the composite coating are inversely proportional to the Mo content. The coating with the Mo addition of 20%(mass fraction) presents better performance in the frictional test. All the composite coatings mainly endures adhesive wear and abrasive wear. The coating containing large portion of NiCr-Cr3C2 is prone to flake during the wear. The wear resistance of the coating shows a good accordance with the index of H/E of the coating.

ZHANG Xin-ming, ZHOU Zhi-le, TANG Jian-guo, KE Bin, HU Ji-long, OUYANG Hui. Effects of Cr on Microstructure and Properties of Al-Mg-Si-Cu Aluminum Alloy[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2013, 0(12): 49-53,58.
The effects of Cr on the microstructures and properties of Al-Mg-Si-Cu aluminum alloy were studied by hardness test, tensile test, TEM, SEM and energy spectrum analysis. The results show that Cr addition promotes the phase transition from β-AlFeSi to α-AlFeSi. The formation of Al7Cr dispersion phase inhibits the generation and growth of recrystallization.However, Cr and Fe, Si element prior form the combination of AlFeCrSi phase, make the main limitation precipitated phase (Mg2Si) reduce, weaken the strengthening effect. With the increasing of Cr content, the strength and plasticity of the alloy increase, when the Cr content is more than 0.20%(mass fraction), the strength and the plasticity of the alloy reduce in a certain degree. It is mainly due to the combination of Cr, Fe and Si elements and formation large number of AlFeCrSi phase,which reduces the precipitation of Mg2Si phase in the alloy and weakens the ageing treatment effects.
CAO Jing-jing, CHEN Hua-hui, DU Fei, CHEN Gong-zhe. Effect of Sintering Additives on Microstructures and Properties of In-situ Transformed Carbon Fiber/Alumina Composites[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2013, 0(12): 54-58.
In-situ transformed carbon fibers toughened alumina composites were prepared by hot-pressing sintering in vacuum, using pre-oxidized polyacrylonitrile fibers as the precursor and alumina as the main raw material, and by adding SiO2-MgO-CaO sintering additives. Effect of sintering additives on phase structure, microstructures, density,hardness and fracture toughness of the composites was studied. The results show that the composites can be densified at a relatively low temperature of 1650℃ via the liquid phases sintering mechanism and the density and mechanical properties of the composites increase with adding sintering additives. The sintering additives react with alumina to generate spinel phase as pinning in the grain boundary and inhibit alumina grain growth. Furthermore,the sintering additives eliminate porosity and promote the densification of the composite. The spinel phase in the composites improves the interfacial bonding strength between the carbon fiber and the matrix, increases the fracture toughness.
WANG Qiang, ZHANG Wei, QIAO Ming-jie. Effect of Shot Peening Processing on Bending Deformation of High Strength 7150 Aluminum Alloy[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2013, 0(12): 59-62.
The effect of compressive residual stress and plastic strain induced by shot peening processing on bending deformation (BD) of 7150 aluminum alloy was studied using the XRD residual stress testing and the FWHM value. The results indicate that BD rate is higher when the shot time is less than 60s,and the BD rate reaches 10.3μm/s when shot pressure is 0.05MPa, due to the compressive residual stress and plastic strain induced by shot peening processing. When the shot time is more than 60s, the compressive residual stress field reaches saturated,and the BD rate reduces to 1.3μm/s which only depends on the surface plastic defomation induced by shot peening processing. The BD rate and total amount of BD increase with the increasing of shot pressure.

The modified glassy carbon(GC)electrode with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs/GC) was used to detect electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of Ru(bpy)32+ aqueous solution. The results show that,when the applying potential on the MWCNTs/GC electrode is at positive potential of +0.3V (vs Ag/AgCl), a strong cathodic ECL of Ru(bpy)32+ is observed. Limit of detection of dopamine (DA) in solution tested by means of this catalytic property of MWCNTs/GC is 1.2×10-11M. The intermediate generated from electrochemical reduction of MWCNTs could increase the cathodic ECL of Ru(bpy)32+.

Retained austenite(RA) evolution during deformation of low Si TRIP steel was studied by pre-tension test, and relationship of stability of retained austenite during deformation with work hardening exponent n was established. Different heat treatment processes were designed in order to acquire TRIP steel with different incipient retained austenite or different microstructures, and then stability of retained austenite of the TRIP steel was analyzed. The results show that, as the progressing deformation the stability of retained austenite increases, the work hardening performance gets better and the stability of retaining austenite during deformation also increases with the increasing of initial carbon content. The stability of retaining austenite is influenced by the carbon content and distribution of retained austenite as well as surrounding phases.

Drop tests were carried out with three kinds of materials (Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu,Sn-1.0Ag-0.5Cu and Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu),respectively. Half-sine acceleration loads was applied in the experiment, the peak value of half sine acceleration and pulse duration were 3200g and 1ms. The failure position of solder joint was identified and analyzed using electrical test, optical microscope, scanning electron microscope. The results show that most of the failures joints for the three kinds of materials locate at the printed circuit board (PCB) side. The solder joints at four outermost corners fail at first. And the failure modes of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu and Sn-1.0Ag-0.5Cu were all brittle fractures, while the Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu is brittle-ductile fracture. The thickness of intermetallic compound(IMC) gradually decreases and the life of solder joint enhances with the reduction of Ag content.
LU Chao, LI Yong-xin, DONG Er-bao, YANG Jie. Equivalent Elastic Modulus of Zero Poisson’s Ratio Honeycomb Core[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2013, 0(12): 80-84.
A flexible cantilever beam model and Euler beam model were used to analyze zero Poisson's ratio honeycomb core compression deformation under the conditions of large deformation oblique wall bending deformation and horizontal siding small deformation respectively.The plane elastic modulus calculation formula of the zero Poisson's ratio honeycomb core were derived. Moreover, the results of theoretical calculations, finite element simulation and mechanical model experiments were also compared and analyzed. The results show that: theoretical formula are correct and effective; elastic modulus of zero Poisson's ratio honeycomb core in the direction of large deformation presents obvious nonlinear characteristics; equivalent elastic modulus calculations are based both on the size of the strain and the direction of the force; the angle θ of the walls has strong influence on the calculation of equivalent elastic modulus. Therefore zero Poisson's ratio honeycomb structure parameters can be designed appropriately.
