ABSTRACT High-entropy carbides (HEC) are a class of promising new hard phases for a sustainable improvement of hardmetal properties. In this work, hardmetals of the HEC (Ta,Nb,Ti,V,W)C were studied with two typical binder volume fractions of 16 and 24 vol-% consisting of Co, Ni and FeNi. The sintering behaviour, microstructure, phase composition, magnetic and mechanical properties are discussed and are compared to a conventional WC-Co hardmetal. It was shown that the HEC has a high-phase stability and that dense hardmetals with promising mechanical properties were obtained.

Bladder cancer (BC) is the most expensive cancer to manage on a per-patient basis, costing about $4 billion in total healthcare expenditure per annum in America alone. Therefore, identifying a natural compound for prevention of BC is of tremendous importance for managing this disease. Previous studies have identified isorhapontigenin (ISO) as having an 85% preventive effect against invasive BC formation induced by N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl) nitrosamine (BBN). The results showed here that ISO treatment inhibited EGF-induced cell transformation of human urothelial cells through induction of tumor suppressor p27 transcription secondary to activation of an E2F1-dependentpathway.ISOtreatmentrenderedcellsresistanttoEGF-induced anchorage-independent growth concurrent with p27 protein induction in both UROtsa and SV-HUC-1 cells. ISO inhibition of EGF-induced cell transformation could be completely reversed by knockdown of p27, indicating that this protein was essential for the noted ISO inhibitory action. Mechanistic studies revealed that ISO treatment resulted in increased expression of E2F1, which in turn bound to its binding site in p27 promoter and initiated p27 transcription. The E2F1 induction was due to the elevation of its translation caused by ISO-induced miR-205 downregulation. Consistently, miR-205 was found to be overexpressed in human BCs, and ectopic expression of miR-205 mitigated ISO inhibitory effects against EGF-induced outcomes. Collectively, the results here demonstrate that ISO exhibits its preventive effect on EGF-induced human urothelial cell transformation by induction of p27 through a miR-205/E2F1 axis. This is distinct from what has been described for the therapeutic effects of ISO on human BC cells.
膀胱癌(BC)是治疗费用最昂贵的癌症,仅在美国,每年的医疗总支出就高达 40 亿美元。因此,找到一种能预防膀胱癌的天然化合物对控制这种疾病极为重要。先前的研究发现,异芹菜素(ISO)对N-丁基-N-(4-羟基丁基)亚硝胺(BBN)诱导的侵袭性 BC 的形成有 85% 的预防作用。结果表明,ISO处理通过诱导肿瘤抑制因子p27转录,继而激活E2F1依赖途径,抑制了EGF诱导的人尿路上皮细胞的细胞转化。通过敲除 p27,ISO 对 EGF 诱导的细胞转化的抑制作用可被完全逆转,这表明该蛋白对 ISO 的抑制作用至关重要。机理研究发现,ISO 处理会导致 E2F1 的表达增加,而 E2F1 又会与其在 p27 启动子中的结合位点结合并启动 p27 的转录。E2F1 的诱导是由于 ISO 诱导的 miR-205 下调导致其翻译量增加。与此相一致,研究发现 miR-205 在人类 BCs 中过度表达,而 miR-205 的异位表达减轻了 ISO 对 EGF 诱导结果的抑制作用。总之,本文的研究结果表明,ISO 通过 miR-205/E2F1 轴诱导 p27,从而对 EGF 诱导的人类尿路上皮细胞转化产生预防作用。这与 ISO 对人类 BC 细胞的治疗效果不同。

ABSTRACT In the present work, three novel brazing powders were produced, in addition to a commercial composition, by the mechanical alloying (MA) method. Cobalt and chromium’s effects on the properties of brazing powder and related joints were investigated. The results showed that; with the addition of cobalt, the powder morphology went to a rounded and near-spherical shape after 15 milling hours, and the solidus significantly raised. Also, chromium shifted the melting range to higher temperatures. The powder with 6% cobalt and 14% chromium had more than 100°C higher solidus and a melting range of 20°C than the commercial BNi-2, ideal for working temperature of more than 1000°C. The shear strength results revealed that the addition of chromium and cobalt significantly promotes joint strength owing to the activation of the solid solution strengthening mechanism. Therefore, the novel synthesized brazing powders can be an excellent candidate for high temperature and corrosive operating environments.

ABSTRACT Additively manufactured (AM) parts generally exhibit large columnar grains and a preferential crystallographic texture. While this microstructure may have beneficial effects, for instance on creep properties, the resulting mechanical anisotropy remains a key issue for most critical in-service applications. The relationship between the solidification conditions and the melt pool morphology of the Inconel 718 fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) was investigated to adapt the microstructural characteristics of the parts to their intended applications. By optimising the length of the scanned vectors, it is possible to reduce both the texture index and the grain size by a factor 2 based on EBSD analyses. In addition, the aspect ratio and the grain density can be increased by a factor 1.1 and 2.2, respectively, compared to a conventional L-PBF scanning strategy. These achievements pave the way for the production of fully isotropic parts and/or anisotropic parts controlled by the L-PBF process.

ABSTRACT The β titanium alloys are key materials in lightweight and biomedical applications, due to the combination of excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties. However, the Binder-based Powder Technologies such as Metal-Injection-Molding (MIM), Binder-Jetting and Fused-Filament-Fabrication, normally introduce three major processing-related defects in the as-sintered Ti-parts: (i) residual porosity, (ii) high impurity level and (iii) coarse-grained structure. The previous studies revealed that these processing defects invariably tend to be even more severe in β titanium alloys than in α/β Ti-6Al-4V alloy, all fabricated by powder metallurgical route. In this work, these processing defects and their likely origins in MIM β titanium alloys are analysed. Furthermore, the influence of these defects on damage tolerance and fracture mechanisms of MIM β titanium alloys under either static or dynamic loading is investigated. Based on the studies, strategic technical improvements in the processing to improve the reliability of MIM β titanium alloys products are proposed.

ABSTRACT This paper describes a study of the influence of elemental nickel (Ni) and copper (Cu) elements on the tribological behaviour of a CoCr-based alloy. The tribology of CoCr-based alloys was examined by using a Bruker UMT-TriboLab machine with normal loads of 200 N, a frequency of 3 Hz, and a duration of 10 min. The Co70Cr20Ni5Cu5 alloy with 5wt-% Ni and 5wt-% Cu content showed the best wear property compared with other alloys, with a minimum friction coefficient of 0.147. The large improvement in wear resistance is related to the strongly inhibiting effect of crack initiation and growth in the worn surface, which reduces delamination wear. Because of the Co0.52Cu0.48 plastic deformation layer, hard phases like NiCoCr and CrCo can slip easily on the sliding interface and embed into the matrix, which may decrease delamination wear and reduce the crack growth rate.

ABSTRACT Liquid phase sintering (LPS) of powder metallurgy (PM) components is a well-recognised strategy to enhance the densification of pressed-and-sintered compacts. This work reports the investigation on the liquid phase formation when a Fe–Ni–Mn–C–B master alloy (MA) is used as a boron carrier in combination with two iron base powders pre-alloyed with Mo. Through differential scanning calorimetry tests, quantitation of the microstructure with the help of artificial intelligence, as well as measurement of sintered density and strength as a function of sintering temperature, it was possible to unravel the mechanisms that take place before and during LPS. It was confirmed that a cascade of events takes place in the solid state prior to reaching the temperature necessary for a eutectic reaction to form a liquid. Additionally, the pre-alloyed Mo content was identified as a factor that modifies the initiation of LPS but not the LPS mechanisms per se.

ABSTRACT Currently there is considerable interest in understanding and quantifying the powder characteristics that affect the quality of the top spread powder layer for processes such as powder bed fusion and binder jetting. For this purpose, a new testing device has been developed in order to assess several aspects of this top spread powder layer. Using different measurement procedures, the roughness of the top layer, the surface coverage of a single spread powder layer and the powder bed density of an entire spreading experiment can be determined. Since the tester is freely programmable, the individual process steps of spreading a single powder layer can also be varied. Using these methods, the influence of different process parameters such as e.g. the spreading velocity or the distance between the blade and the building platform, which is also referred to as gap size in general, on the quality of the top or only a single spread layer and on the powder bed packing density can be examined. This study presents the new test device as well as the corresponding measurement procedures mentioned, the reproducibility of the results, which, depending on the measurement method and the measured parameter, range between 0.24 and 4.81%, and the influence of the spreading strategy, which defines the chronological order of the single steps during spreading.

ABSTRACT Increased adoption of additively manufactured superalloys has led to the consideration of revised heat treatment approaches for these materials. The rapid cooling during additive manufacturing processes has been seen to suppress gamma prime (γ′) precipitation, which has raised the possibilities for omitting the high-temperature solution treatment step that usually precedes ageing heat treatment for these alloys. In this work, the as-built microstructure of a high gamma prime fraction superalloy Inconel 939 is presented, where the absence of any γ′ precipitation is notable. However, transmission electron microscopy shows the presence of nano-sized Eta (η) phase. It is shown that the omission of solution treatment leads to the growth of the deleterious η phase upon ageing, which results in embrittlement in tensile loading. It is concluded that at least for this particular alloy the solution treatment plays a critical role in the establishment of the required microstructure and hence cannot be omitted from the heat treatment.

ABSTRACT In the present work, a novel method was first proposed to realise direct powder forging of high borated stainless steel on Gleeble through hot compression tests performed at 1150°C and 0.01–10 s−1 with strains of 32% and 50%. Particle deformation and microstructural evolution of high borated stainless steel powder during direct forging were investigated. Backscattered electron (BSE) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) were employed for microstructure examination. Microstructure reveals that large deformation zones were easily distinguished by boride and grain features. Enhanced boride coarsening in the contact area of powders was attributed to the combined action of strain, dislocation, stress and temperature rising. Strain rates had no obvious influence on densification but significantly affected the deformation of particles. Furthermore, the mechanism of particle deformation enhanced by a higher strain rate was discussed.

Particle deformation and microstructural evolution of high borated stainless steel powder during direct forging were investigated. Backscattered electron (BSE) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) were employed for microstructure examination. Microstructure reveals that large deformation zones were easily distinguished by boride and grain features. Enhanced boride coarsening in the contact area of powders was attributed to the combined action of strain, dislocation, stress and temperature rising. Strain rates had no obvious influence on densification but significantly affected the deformation of particles. Furthermore, the mechanism of particle deformation enhanced by a higher strain rate was discussed.","PeriodicalId":20392,"journal":{"name":"Powder Metallurgy","volume":"66 1","pages":"12 - 19"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41876772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
