Laminate sheets made from AA1050/AA5052 using accumulative roll bonding (ARB) and cryorolling (CR) showed an 18.4% increase in ultimate tensile strength compared to those made by five ARB passes. Cryorolling not only refined grain size and improved interfacial bonding quality, but also delayed necking and fracture in the hard layer. The combination of ARB and CR resulted in better mechanical properties due to the accumulation of higher dislocation density.
AA1050/AA5052 multilayer laminate sheets were fabricated by accumulative roll bonding (ARB) and cryorolling (CR). The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the laminate sheets produced by combining ARB and CR increased up to 18.4% compared to that by five ARB passes. Necking and fracture occurred in the hard layer after the fourth ARB pass. In contrast, the hard layer remained continuous and relatively straight during CR, which suggested that CR can delay the onset of necking and fracture. TEM results showed that CR can not only refine grain size but also significantly improve interfacial bonding quality. CR can accumulate higher dislocation density. Therefore, the laminate sheets prepared by the combination of ARB and CR obtained better mechanical properties than that by five ARB passes.

A novel prediction network for remaining useful life of rotating machinery

Tianjiao Lin, Huaqing Wang, Xudong Guo, Pengxin Wang, Liuyang Song

Summary: This paper proposes a feature-transferred prediction network (FTPN) to improve the RUL prediction of CNC machine tools and other rotating machinery. The method combines the neural network approach in the field of artificial intelligence and adapt to various working conditions. By pre-training a convolutional neural network (CNN) for fault recognition and transferring the fault feature information to the target network, the proposed method achieves high prediction accuracy. Experimental results using a public data set of accelerated life of bearings demonstrate the effectiveness and industrial applicability of the proposed method.

Microbial Mediation of Carbon, Nitrogen, and Sulfur Cycles During Solid Waste Decomposition

Liyan Song, Yangqing Wang, Rui Zhang, Shu Yang

Summary: Landfills are important terrestrial ecosystems that act as significant carbon sinks. Microorganisms play a crucial role in the decomposition of solid waste, converting biodegradable substances into CH4, CO2, and microbial biomass. They also mediate the nitrogen and sulfur cycles, resulting in the emission of N2O and H2S. However, the response of microbial community structure and function to carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur cycling during solid waste decomposition is not well understood. In this study, we investigated the bacterial and archaeal community composition and functions during solid waste decomposition using molecular techniques. The results showed changes in the composition of bacterial and archaeal communities, as well as shifts in metabolic pathways and cycling processes. These findings highlight the extensive microbial mediation of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur cycling profiles during solid waste decomposition.

Aqueous Zn-ion batteries using amorphous Zn-buserite with high activity and stability

Zhi-Qiang Wang, Xiao-Dong Liu, Hong-Ming Chen, Xiang-Yu Zhu, Li-Ying Song, Yun-Guo Yang, Jing Bai, M. J. Kim, Woon-Ming Lau, Federico Rosei, Dan Zhou

Summary: We report porous reduced graphene oxide boosted a-MnOx microspheres (PrGO-MnOx) as a cathode material for aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs), which show a high capacity, high-rate capability, and ultra-long lifespan. The Zn-storage mechanism of PrGO-MnOx was elucidated via ex situ measurements, revealing the transformation of a-MnOx phase into amorphous Zn-buserite during initial cycles. The excellent performance of PrGO-MnOx was attributed to the amorphous structure of Zn-buserite, fast reaction kinetics, increased electron conductivity, improved Zn2+ diffusion rate, and high pseudocapacitance. A PrGO-MnOx||AQ full-battery also demonstrated impressive cycling stability and a high discharge plateau, suggesting its potential for practical applications.

Nano-tribological behavior of CuCoCrFeNi high-entropy alloys at cryogenic temperature: A molecular dynamics study

Gang Lei, Yun Zhang, Haitao Gao, Xiaohui Cui, Hailiang Yu

Summary: High-entropy alloys show potential for cryogenic applications. This study investigates the nano-scratching behavior of a CuCoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy at a cryogenic temperature (77K) using molecular dynamics. Results show that the anti-wear property can be improved by 28.5% when the grain size is 10.7nm, but the overall temperature rise is lower in the single-grain model compared to the polycrystalline models due to smaller friction on the scratching surface.

A novel way to fabricate high elastic modulus and high strength of TiC reinforced aluminum matrix composite

Waqas Farid, Thierno Amadou Bah, Charlie Kong, Hailiang Yu

Summary: This study investigates the microstructures and mechanical properties of Al matrix composites (AMCs) reinforced with titanium carbide (TiC) nanoparticles produced by accumulative roll bonding and cryorolling. The results show that the mechanical properties of Al/TiC AMCs improve with the increase of rolling cycles. The presence of TiC in the Al matrix contributes to the enhanced elastic modulus, hardness, yield, and ultimate tensile stress. The dispersion of TiC particles improves with more rolling cycles, resulting in decreased porosity and uniform distribution within the Al matrix, which ultimately enhances the mechanical properties.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of AA1050/AA6061 multilayer composites via accumulative roll bonding and cryorolling and subsequent aging

Lingling Song, Haitao Gao, Laxman Bhatt, Charlie Kong, Hailiang Yu

Summary: AA1050/AA6061 multilayer composites were processed using a combination of accumulative roll bonding (ARB) and cryorolling, followed by aging treatment. The study analyzed the evolution of microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites. The results revealed that cryorolling improves the mechanical properties by enhancing interfacial flatness, delaying plastic instability, accumulating higher dislocation density, achieving grain refinement, reducing delamination, and promoting bonding interface quality. Cryorolled samples exhibited significantly higher ultimate tensile strength compared to ARBed samples after peak aging. Both ARBed and ARB + cryorolled samples showed optimal performance after aging at 100 degrees C. The increase in ultimate tensile strength in AA1050/AA6061 multilayer composites at peak aging is mainly due to the presence of ultrafine grains and fine precipitates in the AA6061 layer.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of pre-cryorolling and room-temperature pre-rolling on the natural aging and bake hardening response of Al-0.92Mg-0.48Si alloy. The results show that both room-temperature pre-rolling and pre-cryorolling can effectively inhibit the adverse effects of natural aging and improve the bake hardening response. Pre-cryorolling with a reduction of 15 pct is found to be the most appropriate pre-deformation procedure for this alloy.
