DOI: 10.19976/j.cnki.43-1448/TF.2025009
This study systematically investigated the thermodynamic, mechanical, and electronic structure properties of B12Sc and B12Y under pressures ranging from 0 GPa to 50 GPa via first-principles calculations. The results indicate that the calculated lattice constants and formation enthalpies are all consistent with existing literature data. The calculated elastic constants of B12Sc and B12Y satisfy the mechanical stability criteria for cubic crystals. With increasing pressure, the elastic constants C11, C12, and C44 increase with different rates, C12 exhibits the largest increase, followed by C11, and then C44. Meanwhile, the bulk modulus shows the most significant increase with increasing pressure, followed by elastic modulus, then by shear modulus. The Vickers hardness of B12Sc and B12Y at ambient pressure are 32.45 and 36.34, respectively, suggesting their potential as strengthening phases in Mg alloys. The sound velocities, Debye temperatures, and lattice thermal conductivities increase with rising pressure, the Debye temperatures of B12Sc and B12Y are 1 336.6 K and 1 233.2 K at 0 GPa, respectively, indicating high melting points and strong interatomic interactions in these compounds. Both B12Sc and B12Y exhibit metallic behavior, with covalent bonds formed between B and B atoms, providing strong interatomic interactions that contribute to their high Debye temperatures and hardness.

DOI: 10.19976/j.cnki.43-1448/TF.2025026
FeMnCoCrC high-entropy alloys were fabricated using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) from pre-alloyed (Fe45Mn35Co10Cr10)99C1 gas-atomized powder. The effects of LPBF process parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy were investigated by scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer, and room-temperature tensile test, with the aim of elucidating the underlying deformation mechanisms. The results indicate that the FeMnCoCrC high-entropy alloy exhibits a stable single-phase FCC structure, with randomly oriented grains and no significant texture. Furthermore, rich dislocation cell structures formed during the LPBF process, while no carbide precipitation is observed. The alloy fabricated under the optimal parameters (laser power of 120 W and scanning speed of 400 mm/s) demonstrates a enhanced yield strength while maintaining good elongation, achieving a yield strength of 603 MPa, a tensile strength of 850 MPa, and an elongation of 44.0%. The plastic deformation mechanism of the FeMnCoCrC high-entropy alloy is primarily governed by dislocation slip and twinning-induced plasticity, which collectively contribute to a sustained work-hardening capacity. In contrast, the martensite-induced plasticity mechanism is completely suppressed during deformation.

DOI: 10.19976/j.cnki.43-1448/TF.2025013
Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are extensively utilized in the metal hot-end components of aircraft engines. The primary cause of delamination failure of TBCs ceramic layers is deep-seated stresses in the ceramic layer. The present study focuses on the La2Zr2O7/YSZ double-ceramic thermal barrier coating system, which operates at higher temperatures. In the YSZ layer, a Y2O3:Eu3+ fluorescent stress-responsive units were identified, and sintering experiments at 1 300 ℃ were conducted on TBCs. The deep-seated residual stress of TBCs was calculated by combining the Eu3+ fluorescence-stress response equation, and the fluorescence migration mechanism was explained through density functional theory calculations. The results indicate that the detection depth of the stress-responsive unit can reach 100 μm, and the deep layers of TBCs undergo a transition between compressive and tensile stresses. Stress can to induce lattice distortion in the Y2O3:Eu3+ fluorescent stress-responsive unit, leading to changes in its electronic cloud structure, and ultimately resulting in regular changes in optical properties.

DOI: 10.19976/j.cnki.43-1448/TF.2025032
GH3536 alloy exhibits stable performance at elevated temperatures and is extensively utilized in high-temperature resistant components, including eddy current devices and engine blades. In this research, GH3536 alloy blocks were fabricated using laser powder bed fusion with partitioned block rotating scanning. The surface microstructure of the alloy was analyzed through scanning electron microscope and electron backscatter diffraction. Additionally, the mechanical properties and microhardness of the printed alloy were evaluated at room temperature. The results indicate that GH3536 alloy exhibits a limited number of pores and microcracks. Furthermore, a distinct microstructural difference is observed between the horizontal surface (XOY plane) and the constructed surface (XOZ plane). The XOY plane displays parallel scanning tracks, whereas the XOZ plane reveals melt pools, and the grains are fine and the dislocation density is relatively high at the melt pool boundaries. The room temperature tensile strengths of the alloy parallel to the XOY direction and the XOZ direction are 878 MPa and 762 MPa, respectively, and the elongation rates are 32% and 42%, respectively. There are a large number of small dimples at the tensile fracture. The microhardness (HV0.2) for the XOY and XOZ planes are 308 and 299, respectively.

DOI: 10.19976/j.cnki.43-1448/TF.2025028
Si3N4 ceramics exhibit excellent mechanical properties due to their strong covalent bonding characteristics, however, this characteristic makes them difficult to secondary process, severely limiting their widespread industrial applications. In this study, dynamic hot forging (DHF) technology was employed to process commercial Si3N4 ceramics, the effects of hot forging temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of materials were studied. The results indicate that under a dynamic pressure of (60±5) MPa and a hot forging temperature of 1 800 ℃, the Si3N4 ceramics exhibit optimal mechanical properties, with a hardness of 13.84 GPa, a fracture toughness of 6.88 MPa·m1/2, and a bending strength reaching 925 MPa. All performance metrics significantly surpassing those of the original samples. This performance enhancement is primarily attributed to two key factors: firstly, the elimination of defects such as pores during the hot forging process, and secondly, the structural texturing effect induced by dynamic pressure. The DHF technology developed in this study provides an effective new method for the secondary processing and strengthening of high-performance difficult-to-machine ceramic materials.

In this study, thin-layered C/C composites with a spread-stitching architecture were prepared by chemical vapor deposition. The effects of high-temperature heat treatment on the microstructure, mechanical and thermal expansion properties of the C/C composites were systematically investigated. The results indicate that high-temperature heat treatment leads to a reduction of shear strength at interface between the carbon fiber and pyrolytic carbon, while simultaneously enhancing the degree of graphitization in both materials. After high-temperature heat treatment, the tensile strength of the C/C composites increases from 112.3 MPa to 195.3 MPa, which is primarily attributed to the weakened interfacial shear strength. In contrast, the compressive strength decreases from 300.0 MPa to 121.6 MPa, mainly due to the degradation of interlaminar bonding strength, with interlayer delamination identified as the dominant failure mode. Furthermore, the enhanced graphitization degree of the C/C composites after high-temperature heat treatment is demonstrated to be the primary factor governing the increase in modulus and the reduction in the coefficient of thermal expansion of the composites.

Lattice structures are increasingly utilized in aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and biomedical fields due to their advantages of lightweight construction, excellent sound insulation, high specific strength, high specific stiffness, and superior vibration absorption properties. To investigate the relationship between gradient strategies and the mechanical response of gradient lattice structures, this study designed gradient lattice structures with different gradient strategies and fabricated corresponding specimens using selective laser melting technology. The compressive properties of these structures were systematically investigated through a combined approach of simulation and experimental validation. The results indicate that during compression, the nodes of the lattice cells serve as primary stress concentration locations. Uniform structures, unidirectional gradient structures, and bidirectional gradient structures exhibit distinct deformation behaviors. Gradient lattice structures exhibit higher elastic modulus, yield strength, compressive strength, and plateau stress compared to uniform structures. Furthermore, bidirectional gradient structures demonstrate superior mechanical properties over unidirectional gradient structures and superior energy absorption performance compared to both uniform and unidirectional gradient structures. This study provides technical support for predicting the compressive response of diverse gradient lattice structures.

456 Regulatory mechanisms of Na2CO3 and NaCl on the micro-nano morphology of CeO2 in the flux method
YANG Zhipeng, GAN Xueping, LIU Ronghui
DOI: 10.19976/j.cnki.43-1448/TF.2025046
As an economically viable material with extensive applications, morphology regulation of CeO2 has remained a critical challenge. This study developed a flux method for spheroidizing blocky CeO2, with systematic investigation into the regulatory mechanisms of Na2CO3, NaCl, and their composite fluxes on CeO2 morphology. The results reveal flux type and concentration can significantly affect the spheroidization process of CeO2. Na2CO3 facilitates micro-scale (~5 μm) quasi-spherical particle evolution above 900 ℃ through chemically activated mechanisms combining Na⁺ lattice intercalation and oxygen vacancy compensation. Optimized spherical CeO2 with sphericity index 0.80 is achieved at 1 000 ℃ when mass ratio of Na2CO3 and raw materials is 1.8∶10. Comparatively, NaCl-dominated systems generate nano-sized particles (500-800 nm) via physical fluxing effects but exhibit pronounced agglomeration. The composite flux system demonstrate antagonistic interactions between components, leading to degraded sphericity relative to single-component counterparts. This work confirms that process regulation can overcome intrinsic limitations of conventional solid-phase method morphology control. The Na2CO3-dominated system features operational simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and superior particle dispersibility, offering a scalable pathway for industrial synthesis of spherical CeO2 with precisely tunable diameters (1-10 μm).
