| 1 | Atomic-scale roles of Zn element in age-hardened AlMgSiZn alloys显示文摘Adding alloying elements to improve the performances or the manufacturing processes of Al-Mg-Si alloys has long been a serious issue in developing advanced automotive aluminum materials.The Zn element,among those promising ones,has demonstrated positive alloying effects on Al-Mg-Si alloys.However,the atomic-scale roles of Zn in an age-hardened Al-Mg-Si-Zn alloy have not been adequately understood.Using atomic-resolution electron microscopy,here we report the precise locations of Zn elements in all hardening precipitates involved and their alloying mechanism at the atomic scale when alloying the alloy.Our results show that Zn atoms enter all the major hardening phases to occupy specific featured atomic sites of the original elements,e.g.the Si1 and Mg2 sites in theβ’-2 phase,and modify their crystal structures,interfacial structures and morphologies in characteristic manners.It is revealed that for theβ’-phase,Zn atoms occupy unique atomic sites,whereas for other phases,they demonstrate similar behaviors as other additive alloying elements such as Ag and Cu do. | N.N.Jiao Y.X.Lai S.L.Chen P.Gao J.H.Chen | 2021 | Journal of Materials Science & Technology2021,,11: | 2 |
| 2 | Population-Based and Personalized Design of Total Knee Replacement Prosthesis for Additive Manufacturing Based on Chinese Anthropometric Data显示文摘At present,most total knee replacement(TKR)prostheses on the market are designed according to the sizes of Caucasians.However,extensive studies have indicated that human anatomies differ among different ethnicities.A number of reports have indicated that Chinese TKR patients do not match with available prostheses.In this study,computed tomography(CT)images of 52 knees of Chinese men and women were used for anthropometric measurements.Index and geometric measurements were definedand used for correlation analysis.Key parameters from the measurement results were identified.Detailed geometries of knees were measured as coordinates.A deformable three-dimensional(3D)knee modelbased on anatomical coordinates correlating with the identified key parameters was generated.A pros-thesis was then designed according to the analyzed results.Surface matching analysis,bone resectionanalysis,and cadaveric trials were conducted and compared with commercial products to validate theproposed design.The femoral component designed by this study resulted in the highest accuracy(rootmean square point-to-surface(RMS PS),(1.08±0.20)mm)and lowest amount of resected bone volume(27412mm^(3))in comparison with two commercial knee prostheses.This study suggests a new approachfor population-based patient-specific femoral prosthesis design With a single,easilty acquired dimen-sion-namely,epicondyle width(ECW)-as input,a patient-specific femoral prosthesis can be designed according to the analyzed measured data and manufactured by additive manufacturing(AM)methods.Meanwhile,the reconstructed femoral condylar surface was compared with the femoral condylar surfacein the original CT scanning data The average RMS PS distance of the reconstructed femoral condylar surface among all data was(1.10±0.18)mm,which is comparable to other statistical shape modeling methods using multiple radiographs as input data.There is a need to develop an anthropometric-based knee prosthesis for the Chinese population.Based on the anthropometry of the Chinese population,our new design fits Chinese patients better and reserves more bone volume compared with current commercial prostheses,which is an essential step toward AM for personalized knee prostheses. | C.S.Chui K.S.Leung J.Qin D.Shi P.Augat R.M.Y.Wong S.K.H.Chow X.Y.Huang C.Y.Chen Y.X.Lai P.S.H.Yung L.Qin W.H.Cheung | 2021 | Engineering2021,7,3: | 1 |
| 3 | Nano-phase transformation of composite precipitates in multicomponent Al-Mg-Si(-Sc)alloys显示文摘Sc-addition can significantly enhance the performance of the micro-alloyed Al-Mg-Si-Sc alloys.However,the mechanisms by which the Sc element modifies the microstructure of the alloys are still unknown in many cases.Here,using atomic-scale transmission electron microscopy and atomic-resolution spectroscopy,we have revealed the microstructural differences between two age-hardened Al-0.5Mg-0.4Si(wt.%)alloys with and without Sc-addition.The first significant effect of Sc-addition on the precipitation microstructure of the Al-Mg-Si-Sc alloy is that Sc-atoms may distribute at theβ'-precipitate/Al-matrix interface and therefore accelerate aging kinetics at the initial stage of hardening.The second significant effect of Sc-addition is that in the transition from theβ'-hardened peak-age stage to theβ′-hardened late stage,Sc-atoms can greatly improve the stability of transitionalβ'/B'/β′composite precipitates by entering the B'-substructures and/or locating at the precipitate/Al interfaces.As such Sc-atoms effectively suppressβ'toβ'transformation and cross-sectional coarsening of bothβ'and composite precipitates,leading to much finer precipitate needles with smaller diameter but much larger length,as compared with those precipitate needles formed in the alloy without Sc-addition.Hence,the alloy with Sc-addition exhibits a much better thermal stability than that without Sc. | S.B.Wang C.F.Pan B.Wei X.Zheng Y.X.Lai J.H.Chen | 2022 | Journal of Materials Science & Technology2022,,15: | 1 |
| 4 | Anisotropic Inter-granular Corrosion Behaviors and Microstructures of AlMgSiCu Alloy Sheets Made by Thermal–Mechanical Treatments显示文摘This study investigates the microstructure and local corrosion behavior of an Al-Mg-Si-Cu alloy,which has been subjected to cold-rolling with different deformation strain ratios(DSRs)and followed by artificial aging.Accelerated corrosion tests show that peak-aged samples with a small DSR(5-10%)are sensitive to inter-granular corrosion(IGC)along both the normal and rolling directions.When the DSR increases to medium strength(20-40%),IGC sensitivity decreases along both directions and corrosion propagates anisotropically.When the DSR is 60-80%,IGC sensitivity along the normal direction continues to decrease,but increases along the rolling direction,indicating pronounced corrosion anisotropy.Microstructural characterization reveals the decreased IGC sensitivity is mainly attributed to a reduction in element segregation at high-angle grain boundaries and the kinked and discontinuous grain boundary corrosion paths.The increased IGC sensitivity along the rolling direction could be related to the significantly flattened grains. | L.M.Liu Y.X.Lai C.L.Wu Z.Zhang J.H.Chen | 2022 | Acta Metallurgica Sinica(English Letters)2022,35,2: | 0 |
