[PMID: 38732744 PMCID: PMC11085073 DOI: 10.3390/polym16091276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
In previous studies, difficulties were encountered in measuring changes within high-pressure vessels owing to limitations such as sensor connectors and sensor failures under high-pressure conditions. In addition, polymer-gas mixtures experience instantaneous gas desorption upon exiting high-pressure vessels owing to pressure differentials, leading to measurement errors. In this study, a device using magnetic sensors was developed to measure the real-time changes in gas-saturated polymers inside pressure vessels. Experiments on polymethyl methacrylate gas adsorption were conducted with parameters including pressure at 5 MPa and temperatures ranging from -20 to 40 °C for 60 and 180 min. It was observed that at -20 °C, the maximum magnetic field force density and deflection were 391.53 μT and 5.83 mm, respectively, whereas at 40 °C, deflection did not occur, with a value of 321.79 μT. Based on gas saturation experiments, a new model for deflection in high-pressure atmospheres is proposed. Additionally, an ANSYS analysis was conducted to predict the changes in Young's modulus based on gas saturation. In previous studies, mechanical properties were measured outside the pressure vessel, resulting in an error due to a pressure difference, while the proposed method is characterized by the ability to directly measure polymer behavior according to gas saturation in high-pressure vessels using a magnetic sensor in real time. Therefore, it is possible to predict polymer behavior, making it easy to control variables in high-pressure polymer processes.

Abstract
Many endothermic liquid-liquid transitions, occurring at a temperature Tn+ above the melting temperature Tm, are related to previous exothermic transitions, occurring at a temperature Tx after glass formation below Tg, with or without attached crystallization and predicted by the nonclassical homogenous nucleation equation. A new thermodynamic phase composed of broken bonds (configurons), driven by percolation thresholds, varying from ~0.145 to Δε, is formed at Tx, with a constant enthalpy up to Tn+. The liquid fraction Δε is a liquid glass up to Tn+. The solid phase contains glass and crystals. Molecular dynamics simulations are used to induce, in NiTi2, a reversible first-order transition by varying the temperature between 300 and 1000 K under a pressure of 1000 GPa. Cooling to 300 K, without applied pressure, shows the liquid glass presence with Δε = 0.22335 as memory effect and Tn+ = 2120 K for Tm = 1257 K.

Abstract
Liquid-liquid phase transition (LLPT) is a transition from one liquid state to another with the same composition but distinct structural change, which provides an opportunity to explore the relationships between structural transformation and thermodynamic/kinetic anomalies. Herein the abnormal endothermic LLPT in Pd43Ni20Cu27P10 glass-forming liquid was verified and studied by flash differential scanning calorimetry (FDSC) and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations. The results show that the change of the atomic local structure of the atoms around the Cu-P bond leads to the change in the number of specific clusters <0 2 8 0> and <1 2 5 3>, which leads to the change in the liquid structure. Our findings reveal the structural mechanisms that induce unusual heat-trapping phenomena in liquids and advance the understanding of LLPT.

Abstract
This work investigates the processability of hot-work tool steels by wire-arc additive manufacturing (DED-Arc) from metal-cored wires. The investigations were carried out with the hot-work tool steel X36CrMoWVTi10-3-2. It is shown that a crack-free processing from metal-cored wire is possible, resulting from a low martensite start (Ms) temperature, high amounts of retained austenite (RA) in combination with increased interpass temperatures during deposition. Overall mechanical properties are similar over the built-up height of 110 mm. High alloying leads to pronounced segregation during processing by DED-Arc, achieving a shift of the secondary hardness maximum towards higher temperatures and higher hardness in as-built + tempered condition in contrast to hardened + tempered condition, which appears to be beneficial for applications of DED-Arc processed material at elevated temperatures.

Crystal nucleation and growth processes in Cu-rich glass-forming Cu-Zr alloys . J Chem Phys 2022; 157:014506.

Abstract
The glass formation ability of an alloy depends on two competing processes: glass-transition on one hand, crystal nucleation and growth on the other hand. While these phenomena have been widely studied before in nearly equiatomic Cu-Zr alloys, studies are lacking for solute/solvent-rich ones. In the present work, molecular dynamics simulations show that the addition of a small amount of Zr (1-10 at. %) to Cu drastically increases incubation time and slows down crystal growth, thus leading to an improved glass forming ability. The crystal nucleation and growth processes of a competing face-centered cubic (FCC) Cu crystalline phase are analyzed in detail. In particular, the values of critical cooling rate, incubation period for crystallization and growth rate of FCC Cu crystals in these Cu-rich alloys are obtained. The growth of a supersaturated FCC Cu solid solution is found to be polymorphic at the interface (except for alloys with 9 and 10 at. % Zr) though a Zr concentration gradient is observed within growing crystals at high enough Zr content. The crystal growth rate before crystal impingement is nearly constant in all alloys, though it decreases exponentially with Zr content. Crystallization kinetics are also analyzed within the existing theories and compared with the experimental values available in the literature.

Multiple Melting Temperatures in Glass-Forming Melts. SUSTAINABILITY 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/su14042351] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
All materials are vitrified by fast quenching even monoatomic substances. Second melting temperatures accompanied by weak exothermic or endothermic heat are often observed at Tn+ after remelting them above the equilibrium thermodynamic melting transition at Tm. These temperatures, Tn+, are due to the breaking of bonds (configurons formation) or antibonds depending on the thermal history, which is explained by using a nonclassical nucleation equation. Their multiple existence in monoatomic elements is now demonstrated by molecular dynamics simulations and still predicted. Proposed equations show that crystallization enthalpy is reduced at the temperature Tx due to new vitrification of noncrystallized parts and their melting at Tn+. These glassy parts, being equal above Tx to singular values or to their sum, are melted at various temperatures Tn+ and attain 100% in Cu46Zr46Al8 and 86.7% in bismuth. These first order transitions at Tn+ are either reversible or irreversible, depending on the formation of super atoms, either solid or liquid.

Abstract
The undercooling (∆T) dependencies of the solidification pathways, microstructural evolution, and recalescence behaviors of undercooled Co-18.5at.%B eutectic alloys were systematically explored. Up to four possible solidification pathways were identified: (1) A lamellar eutectic structure consisting of the FCC–Co and Co3B phase forms, with extremely low ΔT; (2) The FCC–Co phase primarily forms, followed by the eutectic growth of the FCC–Co and Co2B phases when ΔT < 100 K; (3) As the ΔT increases further, the FCC–Co phase primarily forms, followed by the metastable Co23B6 phase with the trace of an FCC–Co and Co23B6 eutectic; (4) When the ΔT increases to 277 K, the FCC–Co phase primarily forms, followed by an FCC–Co and Co3B eutectic, which is similar in composition to the microstructure formed with low ΔT. The mechanisms of the microstructural evolution and the phase selection are interpreted on the basis of the composition segregation, the skewed coupled zone, the strain-induced transformation, and the solute trapping. Moreover, the prenucleation of the primary FCC–Co phase was also detected from an analysis of the different recalescence behaviors. The present work not only enriches our knowledge about the phase selection behavior in the undercooled Co–B system, but also provides us with guidance for controlling the microstructures and properties practically.
