Laser additive manufacturing technology on high-performance metallic components has shown great potential and broad application prospects in the manufacturing of key equipment. Beihang University has conducted deep research on laser additive manufactured large metallic components and achieved many research breakthroughs. In this article, the progress of laser additive manufactured high-performance metal structural materials was summarized. The non-equilibrium solidification and nucleation growth behavior were revealed, and the active control method on grain morphologies of titanium alloys and nickel-based superalloys was established. Besides, new strengthening and toughening mechanisms for laser additive manufactured materials were proposed, while titanium alloy and ultra-high strength steel specially for additive manufacturing were developed. Future research interests will continue to focus on fundamental issues such as laser/metal interaction behavior, material solidification and phase transition laws, as well as the design and development of high-performance new alloys based on extreme metallurgical conditions of laser additive manufacturing. Thus, the transformative potential of laser additive manufacturing technology in the manufacturing of large metal components for key equipments can be further unleashed.
Using the iron-manganese-rich leaching solution generated during vanadium extraction from vanadium slag was used as the raw material, and ferromanganese oxalate dihydrate Mn0.5Fe0.5C2O4∙2H2O was prepared by co-precipitation, and lithium ferromanganese iron phosphate LiFe0.5Mn0.5PO4 anode material was successfully synthesized by the high-temperature solid-phase method using this precursor, which achieved the comprehensive utilization of the iron-manganese resources in the vanadium slag leaching solution. The results showed that under the conditions of initial pH 3.5, temperature 25 ℃, reaction time 90 min, ammonium oxalate addition 1.1 times of the theoretical value, and the addition mode of positive addition, the precipitation efficiency of Fe and Mn were 99.5% and 99.4%, respectively. The depth separation from other impurities was achieved, and the purity of Mn0.5Fe0.5C2O4·2H2O reached 99.97% with small particle sizes and good dispersion. It can be used as a precursor for synthesizing lithium manganese iron phosphate cathode materials, which provides the idea for the industrial production of lithium iron manganese phosphate.
The influence of α/β volume fraction and grain size on the tensile mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V dual-phase titanium alloy was investigated in this study using the crystal plasticity finite element method. The contribution of different slip systems to plastic deformation was evaluated quantitatively by slip relative fraction. The results demonstrate that the stress-strain distribution during the tensile deformation of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy is non-uniform. The stress is primarily concentrated on the β phase grain and grain boundary, while the strain is concentrated on the α phase grain. Increasing the volume fraction of β phase leads to a larger stress concentration area, easier generation of strain concentration at the triple-junction of grain boundaries, and a significant increase in contribution from the β phase{110} slip system to the plasticity deformation. Increasing α, β or two-phase grain size results in decreased stress-strain curve in the plastic region, where initial deformation is predominantly governed by prismatic slip system while pyramidal <c+a> slip system contribute slightly less. An increase in α-phase grain size leads to a decrease in the activity of pyramidal <c+a> slip system, resulting in reduced stress values in the plastic region. Increasing the β-phase grain size results in a reduction of stress during the plastic stage, which is attributed to the decreased activity of {110} slip system within the β-phase. Simultaneously increasing the grain size of both the α and β phases will affect the activation fraction of prismatic and {110} slip systems. The reduction in stress is associated with the significant decrease in the number of interfaces.
In this paper, based on the actual dimension of the vanadium titanomagnetite blast furnace of a domestic enterprise, a three-dimensional physical model is established. The numerical simulation method is used to compare and study the flow and combustion behavior of pulverized coal in the tuyere gyration area under different oxygen enrichment methods. The results show that the overall trend of the tuyere velocity change with the oxygen enrichment rates is consistent with that of the constant air enrichment mode, but the difference in the change amplitude is significant. That is, when the oxygen enrichment rate is increased by 1%, the cross-sectional velocity of the tuyere is increased by 4.25 m/s (fixed air) and 0.41 m/s (reduced air), respectively. Under the two oxygen enrichment modes, the temperature, reducing gas content and burnout rate of the pulverized coal in the gyratory area have the same trend with the oxygen enrichment rates. As temperature increases, the high temperature area expands with the increase in the reducing gas content, and the burnout rate of pulverized coal increases. Among them, the amount of N2 brought into the blast furnace decreases due to the decrease in hot air flow rate, and the content of CO and H2 in the coal gas changes greatly, preventing the formation of carbon nitrides and titanium carbides, and improving the reduction effect of iron ore in the blast furnace. It is calculated that the average temperature of the gyratory zone is increased by 34.22 K (fixed air) and 32.88 K (reduced air) for every 1% increase in the oxygen enrichment rate. Under the condition of reduced air and oxygen enrichment, the N2 content brought into the blast furnace is reduced by 10 m3/min and the CO concentration in the gas is increased by 8.61%.
