简介:TheevolutionofmicrostructureandmechanicalpropertiesofAl-0.4Cu-0.14Si-0.05Mg-0.2Fe(wt.%)alloys,micro-alloyedwithZr,TiandSc,wereinvestigated.Theadditionof0.2%ZrtobasealloyacceleratestheprecipitationofSi-richnano-phaseinα-Almatrix,whichplaysanimportantroleinimprovingthemechanicalpropertiesofanalloy.Thetensilestrengthincreasesfrom102MPaforthebasealloyto113MPafortheZr-modifiedalloy.Adding0.2%Zr+0.2%Titobasealloyeffectivelyrefinesa-AlgrainsizeandacceleratestheprecipitationofSiandCuelements,leadingtoheavysegregationatgrainboundary.Byfurtheradding0.2%SctoZr+Timodifiedalloy,thesegregationofSiandCuelementsissuppressedandmoreSiandCuprecipitatesappearedinα-Almatrix.AccompaniedwiththeformationofcoherentAl3Scphase,thetensilestrengthincreasesfrom108MPafortheZr+Timodifiedalloyto152MPafortheSc-modifiedalloy.DuetoexcellentthermalstabilityofAl3Scphase,theSc-modifiedalloyexhibitsobviousprecipitationhardeningbehaviorat350℃,andthetensilestrengthincreasesto203MPaafterholdingat350℃for200h.
简介:欧盟科技人员取得超低能耗技术突破能够从大自然的周围环境中,如来自光线、振动或温差的物理变化,获得能源供应的微芯片技术,近期由欧盟第7研发框架计划(FP7)提供资助、西班牙纳瓦拉大学(UniversityofNavarre)领导的研发团队科技人员攻破。创新型的无线传感器网络技术(WSN)主要由2大部分组成:能够检测温度、声音、压力、振动和环境等的传感器网络节点和特制的超低能耗致动设备如节能信号灯。这种节能信号灯的能源消耗仅相当于普通白炽灯泡能耗五千万分之一。WSN通过无线方式,将分布式自治感应器芯片和制动设备连接起来,并通过无线电波传输接入互联网。
