Transparent niobate glass-ceramics for optical limiting

The construction of nonlinear optical materials featuring asymmetric transmission of light is of great technological importance for various applications, including optical switching and optical power limiting. A significant challenge is the scalable fabrication of material candidates with good photochemical stability, high optical transmittance, and excellent optical limiting performance. Here, we present a nanocrystallization avenue for constructing hybrid optical limiting materials that exhibit ultrafast and robust optical limiting performance. The experimental results show that the controllable relaxation of a niobate glass may lead to the clustering of Nb-O units and contracting of the bandgap. It results in the notable improvement in nonlinear optical properties, including the enhanced saturation irradiance (380 GW/cm²), doubly increased nonlinear coefficient, and decreased limiting threshold (200 GW/cm²). Our results suggest a promising material that exhibits promising applications for protecting eyes and sensitive components from laser-induced damage.     

Effect of an abrupt change in pulling rate on microstructures of directionally solidified Al2O3-Er3Al5O12 eutectic and off-eutectic composite ceramics

Directionally solidified microstructures of Al₂O₃-Er₃Al₅O₁₂ eutectic and off-eutectic in situ composite ceramics were explored under abrupt-change pulling rate conditions. Corresponding temperature distributions and interface locations were studied. In eutectic composition, fluctuation of eutectic spacing occurred when the pulling rate increased abruptly. A gradually increase or abrupt increase in eutectic spacing was observed when the pulling rate decreased abruptly. In hypoeutectic and hypereutectic compositions, formation of the primary phases were suppressed when the pulling rate increased abruptly from 10?µm/s to 100?µm/s, while primary phases precipitated when the pulling rate decreased abruptly from 100?µm/s to 10?µm/s. The interface altitude decreased after the pulling rate increased abruptly, but increased after the pulling rate decreased abruptly. The liquid composition restriction (around the eutectic composition) at the eutectic interface plays an important role in the suppression of the primary dendrite and coupled eutectic oxides can be obtained in off-eutectic compositions even under higher solidification rate conditions.

超超临界锅炉T23钢水冷壁管开裂分析

以超超临界锅炉SA213?T23钢水冷壁失效管为试验对象，通过宏观检查、化学成分分析、金相检验和硬度试验，分析失效原因。结果表明:该水冷壁管化学成分正常，材质性能未发生明显劣化；水冷壁失效原因为鳍片焊缝开裂，该裂纹为沿晶界扩展的再热裂纹，起源于焊缝熔合线附近的热影响区粗晶区域，先沿热影响区横向扩展，然后扩展至母材区域，最终导致管壁泄漏失效；热影响区粗晶区域显微组织为粗大的马氏体和贝氏体组织，硬度明显偏高于焊缝熔合线另一侧的焊缝区域，脆性增大。两者在显微组织和硬度上的明显差别，使焊缝熔合线附近的热影响区粗晶区域容易产生应力集中，在高温运行中发生晶间开裂。
