    PI pre-polymerization method was adopted to synthesize the rigid polyurethane-imide (PUI) foams flame retarded by kaolin(KL) and APP. The effect of content and ratio of KL/APP on the limited oxygen index, smoke density rank, char layer morphology, density and mechanical properties was analyzed. The results show that with the increase of content of KL/APP, the limited oxygen index, density, compressive strength and modulus and surface chalking degree of the rigid polyurethane-imide foams increase. The density exponent values for compression strength and compression modulus are fitted respectively as 1.999 and 1.764; while the smoke density rank of foams decreases with the increasing addition of KL. Moreover, the disadvantage of porous char layer of foams can be improved with the addition of KL/APP.

    Xiao-wen ZHANG, Nan WU, Xuan ZHANG, Li-ting MA, Lei LI. Fatigue Fracture Behaviors of Transparent Polycarbonate Materials[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2017, 45(11): 30-35.

    The effect of the different stress ratios (R) and annealing treatment on the fatigue properties of the transparent polycarbonate (PC) sheet and the mechanism behind were studied, the fatigue crack propagation (FCP) process and mechanism were analyzed. The results show that after annealing, the residual stress of the PC samples decreases obviously and the fatigue properties are greatly improved. This is because the machining process results in tensile stress in the PC samples, eliminating the tensile stress can improve the fatigue property of PC effectively; under the positive stress ratio (tensile-tensile fatigue), as the stress amplitude increases, the fatigue properties of PC decreases obviously, however, the negative stress ratio (tensile-compression fatigue) causes complex influence on the fatigue properties of PC. The fatigue fracture morphology suggests that distinct crack source, stable crack extension zone and instability zone exist obviously in fatigue fracture of PC. The mechanism of the fatigue crack propagation of PC indicates that crazes are initiated at first under the cycling stress, when the stress is higher than the strength of the fibrils in crazes or the fibrils are broken under the cycling stress, crazes develop into cracks.

    A single layer of titanate was prepared by high temperature solid phase hydrothermal synthesis. To fabricate mesoporous nanocomposite-Ni-doped Zr-pillared titanate(NZPT), the exfoliated layered titanate in aqueous solution was reassembled in the presence of the hydroxyl-Zr oligocations and nickel cation by exfoliation-restacking technology. The crystal structure, chemical composition, microstructure and pore structure were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, N2 asbsorption analysis, scanning electron microscope/transmission electron microscopy and UV-vis spectra. The influence of doping Ni cations on the catalytic activity of the Zr-pillared composites (ZPT) was investigated by the degradation of acid red G under ultraviolet and visible radiation. The results show that the Ni-containing pillared nanocomposite exhibits higher photocatalytic activities than that of ZPT without doping Ni cations, and the NZPT-0.10 has the best photocatalytic activities of them, which are based on the bigger specific surface area and electronic coupling between the host and the guest species.

    The highly ordered porous anodic alumina was prepared by anodic oxidation technology, after being treated by AC phosphoric pore broadening, the Cu-Ni nano composite particles were deposited into anodic alumina pores by AC frequency with 50Hz in different voltages, different time and different temperatures. The spectra result shows that the coating prepared under the conditions of voltage is 12V, time is 600s, temperature is 25℃ has good solar absorption performance, the absorptivity is 0.91, emissivity is 0.18, quality factor is 4.9. The SEM and XRD analysis show that CuAl2O4/Cu-Ni composite nanorods were deposited on the surface of the composite oxide coating. After heat treatment at 600℃, the solar absorption and infrared emission of target coating have a small fluctuation and the thermal stability of the coating system is greatly improved. The existing of CuAl2O4 limits the diffusion of metal particles under high temperature environment at the interface, which prevents the Cu/Ni from being oxidized.

    Yao LI, Yi LU, Wen-bin CAO. Crystallization Mechanism and Phase Transition Properties of W-doped VO2 Synthesized by Hydrothermal Method[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2017, 45(11): 58-65.

    VO2 sol was firstly prepared using vanadyl sulfate as a vanadium source by precipitation-peptization method. Then tungsten(W) doping vanadium dioxide(W-VO2) was prepared by hydrothermal crystallization of prepared sol with the presence of ammonium metatungstate. The morphologies, crystal structure of the as-prepared samples and phase transition properties were studied by X-ray diffraction(XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope(FESEM)and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) analysis. The results indicate that rod-like W-VO2(B) crystal with length of 1-2μm and radius of 100-200nm is firstly formed during hydrothermal treatment for 4-48h at 280℃, then the rod-like crystal dissolves gradually and sheet-like or snowflake-like crystal is formed with the phase transition from W-VO2(B) to W-VO2(M) and eventually, the W-VO2(M) crystals can further grow up while the W-VO2(B) gradually dissolves; the phase transition temperature of VO2 decreases with the increase in W doping content, and the phase transition temperature of W-VO2(M) reduces to about 28℃ when the nominal dopant concentration is 6.0%(atom fraction).The "nucleation-growth-transformation-ripening" mechanism is proposed as the formation mechanism based on the hydrothermal crystallization and morphological evolution process of W-VO2(M).

    The Ni-5%RExOy (CeO2, La2O3, Eu2O3) as composite additives, Mg2Ni-Ni-5%RExOy composites were prepared by the ball milling method. The effects of different additives on the structure, morphology, electrochemistry and kinetic properties of Mg2Ni alloy were studied systematically. The results show that composite additives can improve the proportion of amorphous and nanocrystalline structure of Mg2Ni alloy. The particle size is homogeneous but the agglomeration is observed in the sample with Ni-5%CeO2 additives. The composites with additives show higher maximum discharge capacity and better cycle stabilities. All of these three kinds of composite additives can improve the kinetic properties of the composites effectively, including optimizing the charge-transfer ability, the reversibility of the electrochemical reaction on the alloy surface, and enhancing the diffusion coefficients of H atoms in the bulk of alloy. Among these three kinds of additives, Ni-5%CeO2 additive shows the best catalysis effect on promoting the kinetic properties of the composites.

    Experiments were carried out with TIG welding-brazing of AZ31B magnesium alloy to PRO500 steel using TIG arc as heat source. The interfacial reaction characteristics and mechanical properties of the welding-brazing bonding were investigated. The results show that an effective bonding is achieved between AZ31B magnesium alloy and PRO500 steel by using TIG welding-brazing method. Some spontaneous oxidation reactions result in the formation of a transition zone containing AlFe3 phase with rich oxide. The micro-hardness value of the interfacial transition zone is between that of the AZ31B and the PRO500. Temper softening zone appears due to the welding thermal cycle nearby the bonding position in the interface. A higher heat input makes an increase of the brittle phases and leads to an obvious decrease of the bonding strength.

    Two typical cross-section of welds, including nail shape and near X shape, are obtained in the process of fiber laser welding 2024-T4 Al alloy with filler wire. The correlations of the two weld appearances and other elements (such as microstructure, microhardness, and joint's tensile properties) were analyzed. The results show that the weld with near X shape cross-section during the welding process is more stable than that with nail shape cross-section, and the welding spatter of the former is smaller than that of the latter. The microstructure of the weld zone is columnar grains and equiaxed grains, the columnar grains are formed near the fusion line and growing along the vertical direction of the fusion line, the equiaxed grains are distributed in the center of the weld zone. The secondary dendrite of the grains in the center of the weld with nail shape cross-section grows better, and gradually forms to equiaxed dendrite, while the grains size of the weld with near X shape cross-section is relatively finer, exhibiting equiaxed cellular grain. Compared with the joint with nail shape cross-section of the weld, the joint with near X shape cross-section of the weld have some different characteristics, the precipitation strengthening phase θ(Al2Cu) content in weld zone of the latter is more than that of the former, the average microhardness value of the weld zone of the latter is higher than that of the former, the softening phenomenon of heat affect zone (HAZ) of the latter is weaker than that of the former, and the joint's tensile strength and plasticity of the latter are lower than that of the former slightly.

    In view of the problem that paste flux is difficult to spread uniformly on the surface of filler metal, the adhesion behavior of the different concentrations of paste flux on the surface of filler metal was studied by the equipment of OM, wetting angle tester and surface tensiometer. The results show that adhesive layer is gradually thickened with the increase of the concentration of paste flux. A small amount of shrinkage appears in the thin adhesive layer. however, mass paste flux slides off filler metal when adhesive layer is thicker, accompanying by severe aggregation and shrinkage. For the ideal surface, the adhesive tension of paste flux with different concentrations of paste flux is the same. For the actual surface, the stripe groove additional pressure is formed when paste flux wets stripe groove, and the additional pressure is the main reason for the lagging phenomenon of the shrinkage of the adhesive layer. With the increase of paste flux concentration, the additional pressure decreases, the hysteresis resistance decreases, and the shrinkage increases. A relationship is satisfied when the shrinkage takes place in thin adhesive layer, this is ΔWCAP. Whether the shrinkage occurs mainly depends on the adhesion tension and the additional pressure.

The addition of Ce decreases the dendritic arm spacing, reduces the layer spacing between eutectic phases and refines the eutectic structure and the grain significantly, and inhibits the appearance of the impurity phase Al7Cu2Fe in aluminum alloys. The addition of Ce also reduces the precipitation temperature of α-Al matrix and eutectic phase by 6.4℃ and 5.6℃ respectively.

    Yuan-yuan SHAO, Qi GUO. Behaviors of Deformation, Recrystallization and Textures Evolution of Columnar Grains in 3%Si Electrical Steel Slabs[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2017, 45(11): 108-114.

    The behaviors of deformation and recrystallization and textures evolution of 3% (mass fraction) Si columnar-grained electrical steel slabs were investigated by electron backscatter diffractometer technique and X-ray diffraction. The results indicate that the three columnar-grained samples have different initial textures with the long axes arranged along rolling, transverse and normal directions. Three shear orientations can be obtained in surface layer after hot rolling, of which Goss orientation is formed easily. The α and γ fibre rolling orientations are obtained in RD sample, while strong γ fibre orientations in TD sample and sharp {100} orientations in ND sample are developed respectively. In addition, cube orientation can be found in all the three samples. The characteristics of hot rolled orientations in center region reveal distinct dependence on initial columnar-grained orientations. Strong {111}〈112〉 orientation in RD and TD samples separately comes from Goss orientation of hot rolled sheets, and sharp rotated cube orientation in ND sample originates from the initial {100} orientation of hot rolled sheets after cold rolling. Influenced by initial deviated orientations and coarse grain size, large orientation gradient of rotated cube oriented grain can be observed in ND sample. The coarse {100} orientated grains of center region in the annealed sheets show the heredity of the initial columnar-grained orientations.

    The W-4.9Ni-2.1Fe alloy with different addition of Y2O3 was prepared by high energy ball milling and spark plasma sintering techniques, the microstructure, mechanical property, friction and wear behavior of the high density alloy were investigated by the Rockwell hardness tester, X-ray diffractometer, reciprocating friction and wear tester, 3D profiler, etc. The results show that adequate doping of the trace Y2O3 can effectively inhibit the grain size, promote the γ-(Ni, Fe) bonding phase and tungsten particles uniformly distribute, increase the relative density, hardness, friction and wear properties. But the excessive Y2O3 addition can easily aggregate at grain boundary, weaken the inhibition effect, and decrease the mechanical and wear properties of the alloy. So the addition of Y2O3 should be appropriate. When the adding mass fraction of Y2O3 particles is 0.4%, the comprehensive performance of the alloy is the best.

    Carbon nanotubes (CNTs, mass fraction of 0%-2%) reinforced Al5083 composites were fabricated by horizontal high-energy ball milling. The effects of ball milling time and CNTs contents on the properties of composite materials were studied. The micro morphology of CNTs/Al5083 composites was characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM), the tensile strength and microhardness of the composites were tested. The results indicate that after high-energy ball milling for 1.5h, the carbon nanotubes are dispersed homogeneously in the Al5083 matrix, and good interfacial bonding strength between CNTs and Al5083 is obtained at the addition of 1.5%CNTs. Under these conditions, the tensile strength and microhardness of CNTs/Al5083 composites are 188.8MPa and 136HV, respectively. Compared to Al5083 matrix without CNTs reinforcement, tensile strength and microhardness of CNTs/Al5083 composites are increased by 32.2% and 36%, respectively.

    Xiao-ming SHEN, Ting CHEN, Ying-chun ZHANG. Airworthiness Certification of Civil Aviation Materials[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2017, 45(11): 139-142.

    Based on years of airworthiness regulations research, combined with the experience of airworthiness certification of civil aviation products, the airworthiness requirement to materials for civil aviation products was analyzed. The key airworthiness requirement for materials is that materials should conform to some material specification to ensure their having the strength and other properties adopted in the design data. The shortcomings of domestic airworthiness management methods for civil aviation materials was discussed and three recommendations for improvement were proposed:(1) conduct individual airworthiness management for civil aviation materials according to CCAR 21.351 through 371 and CCAR 37; (2) develop and promote statistical-based material specification developing methods, to establish material specifications which could ensure material having the strength and other properties adopted in the design data; (3) establish a cooperation mechanism for developing material design value data base for civil aviation materials to reduce the cost of airworthiness certification activities. At the end of this paper, statistical methods used for establishing material specifications were discussed.
