Electromagnetic levitation containerless processing of metallic materials in microgravity: rapid solidification.

ABSTRACT: Space levitation processing allows researchers to conduct benchmark tests in an effort to understand the physical phenomena involved in rapid solidification processing, including alloy thermodynamics, nucleation and growth, heat and mass transfer, solid/liquid interface dynamics, macro- and microstructural evolution, and defect formation. Supported by ground-based investigations, a major thrust is to develop and refine robust computational tools based on theoretical and applied approaches. This work is accomplished in conjunction with experiments designed for precise model validation with application to a broad range of industrial processes.

Study of solidification pathway of a MoSiBTiC alloy by optical thermal analysis and in-situ observation with electromagnetic levitation.

Project description:MoSiBTiC alloys are promising candidates for next-generation ultrahigh-temperature materials. However, the phase diagram of these alloys has been unknown. We have developed an ultrahigh-temperature thermal analyser based on blackbody radiation that can be used to analyse the melting and solidification of the alloy 67.5Mo-5Si-10B-8.75Ti-8.75?C (mol%). Furthermore, electromagnetic levitation (EML) was used for in-situ observation of solidification and microstructural study of the alloy. On the basis of the results, the following solidification pathway is proposed: Mo solid solution (Moss) begins to crystallize out as a primary phase at 1955?°C (2228?K) from a liquid state, which is followed by a (Moss+TiC) eutectic reaction starting at 1900?°C (2173?K). Molybdenum boride (Mo2B) phase precipitates from the liquid after the eutectic reaction; however, the Mo2B phase may react with the remaining liquid to form Moss and Mo5SiB2 (T2) as solidification proceeds. In addition, T2 also precipitates as a single phase from the liquid. The remaining liquid reaches the (Moss?+?T2?+?TiC) ternary eutectic point at 1880?°C (2153?K), and the (Moss?+?T2?+?Mo2C) eutectic reaction finally occurs at 1720?°C (1993 K). This completes the solidification of the MoSiBTiC alloy.

Retained free energy as a driving force for phase transformation during rapid solidification of stainless steel alloys in microgravity.

Project description:Ternary Fe-Cr-Ni stainless steel alloys often exhibit a multi-step transformation known as double recalescence where primary ferrite converts to austenite during rapid solidification processes such as casting and welding. In addition to the volume free energy associated with undercooling between the phases, the free energy driving the transformation comes from two additional sources that are retained within the metastable solid-one from the primary phase undercooling and one from melt shear. A new physical model is proposed based on accumulation of defects, such as dislocations or tilt boundaries, and lattice strain. A dimensionless analysis technique shows that the free energy associated with metastable solidification is conserved and the contribution from melt shear can be predicted based on a modification of the Read-Shockley dislocation energy equation. With these additional terms the incubation time between nucleation events becomes inversely proportional to the total free energy squared for bulk diffusion and cubed for grain boundary diffusion mechanisms. In the case of the ferrous alloys studied, the grain boundary mechanism provides a better fit and when the model is applied the delay time behavior collapses to a single master-curve for the entire alloy family.

Effect of microgravity on the solidification of aluminum-bismuth-tin immiscible alloys.

Project description:Directional solidification experiment was carried out with Al-Bi-Sn immiscible alloy under microgravity environment onboard the Tiangong 2 space laboratory of China. Sample with a well-dispersed microstructure was obtained by properly designing the experimental scheme, the matrix shows equiaxed morphology, and there is no visible gas cavity or pinhole in the sample. In contrast, the reference samples solidified on earth show phase-segregated structure and contain some gas cavities or pinholes. The grain morphology of the terrestrial sample depends on the solidification direction, it is equiaxed when the sample ampoule was withdrawn against the gravity direction, while it is columnar when the sample ampoule was withdrawn along the gravity direction. The solidification process and affecting mechanisms of microgravity on the microstructure formation are discussed. The results indicate that the microgravity conditions can effectively diminish the convective flow of the melt and the Stokes motions of the minority phase droplets and gas bubbles, which are helpful for suppressing the occurrence of macro-segregation and preventing the formation of porosity. The results also demonstrate that the microgravity conditions favor the detachment between the melt and the wall of crucible, thus increasing the nucleation undercooling of α-Al nuclei and promoting the formation of equiaxed grain.

Two-Steps Versus One-Step Solidification Pathways of Binary Metallic Nanodroplets.

Project description:The solidification of AgCo, AgNi, and AgCu nanodroplets is studied by molecular dynamics simulations in the size range of 2-8 nm. All these systems tend to phase separate in the bulk solid with surface segregation of Ag. Despite these similarities, the simulations reveal clear differences in the solidification pathways. AgCo and AgNi already separate in the liquid phase, and they solidify in configurations close to equilibrium. They can show a two-step solidification process in which Co-/Ni-rich parts solidify at higher temperatures than the Ag-rich part. AgCu does not separate in the liquid and solidifies in one step, thereby remaining in a kinetically trapped state down to room temperature. The solidification mechanisms and the size dependence of the solidification temperatures are analyzed, finding qualitatively different behaviors in AgCo/AgNi compared to AgCu. These differences are rationalized by an analytical model.

Gene expression profiling of 3T3 fibroblast cells cultured with degradable metallic materials

Project description:Metals have been used for coronary artery stent materials in order to prevent stenosis caused by atherosclerosis. Degradable metallic materials (DMMs) are considered to be useful to avoid in-stent restenosis and late thrombosis. A new DMM, Fe-35Mn alloy, was fabricated through powder metallurgy in order to satisfy the ideal criteria of cardiovascular stent made of DMM. Since in-stent restenosis is mediated by the extracellular matrix production, which is mostly regulated by fibroblasts, the gene expression profile of 3T3 fibroblasts in the presence of Fe-35Mn alloy was then investigated. The mechanism of cellular responses in the presence of DMM is then expected to be clearly described through the gene profiling experiment. 3T3 fibroblast cells derived from mouse (Mus musculus) embryo (BALB/3T3 clone A31, ATTC) were put in the culture and treated with iron, manganese, and Fe-35Mn alloy for 24 hour in parallel and followed by the RNA extraction. Six technical replicates were included for treated cells as well as control cells.

Surface tension and viscosity of liquid Pd43Cu27Ni10P20 measured in a levitation device under microgravity.

Project description:Here we present measurements of surface tension and viscosity of the bulk glass-forming alloy Pd43Cu27Ni10P20 performed during containerless processing under reduced gravity. We applied the oscillating drop method in an electromagnetic levitation facility on board of parabolic flights. The measured viscosity exhibits a pronounced temperature dependence following an Arrhenius law over a temperature range from 1100 K to 1450 K. Together with literature values of viscosity at lower temperatures, the viscosity of Pd43Cu27Ni10P20 can be well described by a free volume model. X-ray diffraction analysis on the material retrieved after the parabolic flights confirm the glassy nature after vitrification of the bulk samples and thus the absence of crystallization during processing over a wide temperature range.

Accessing thermoplastic processing windows in metallic glasses using rapid capacitive discharge.

Project description:The ability of the rapid-capacitive discharge approach to access optimal viscosity ranges in metallic glasses for thermoplastic processing is explored. Using high-speed thermal imaging, the heating uniformity and stability against crystallization of Zr35Ti30Cu7.5Be27.5 metallic glass heated deeply into the supercooled region is investigated. The method enables homogeneous volumetric heating of bulk samples throughout the entire supercooled liquid region at high rates (~10(5) K/s) sufficient to bypass crystallization throughout. The crystallization onsets at temperatures in the vicinity of the "crystallization nose" were identified and a Time-Temperature-Transformation diagram is constructed, revealing a "critical heating rate" for the metallic glass of ~1000 K/s. Thermoplastic process windows in the optimal viscosity range of 10(0)-10(4) Pa · s are identified, being confined between the glass relaxation and the eutectic crystallization transition. Within this process window, near-net forging of a fine precision metallic glass part is demonstrated.

Shaping metallic glasses by electromagnetic pulsing.

Project description:With damage tolerance rivalling advanced engineering alloys and thermoplastic forming capabilities analogous to conventional plastics, metallic glasses are emerging as a modern engineering material. Here, we take advantage of their unique electrical and rheological properties along with the classic Lorentz force concept to demonstrate that electromagnetic coupling of electric current and a magnetic field can thermoplastically shape a metallic glass without conventional heating sources or applied mechanical forces. Specifically, we identify a process window where application of an electric current pulse in the presence of a normally directed magnetic field can ohmically heat a metallic glass to a softened state, while simultaneously inducing a large enough magnetic body force to plastically shape it. The heating and shaping is performed on millisecond timescales, effectively bypassing crystallization producing fully amorphous-shaped parts. This electromagnetic forming approach lays the groundwork for a versatile, time- and energy-efficient manufacturing platform for ultrastrong metals.

Floating synthesis with enhanced catalytic performance via acoustic levitation processing.

Project description:Acoustic levitation supplies a containerless state to eliminate natural convection and heterogeneous crystal nucleation and thus provides a highly uniform and ultra clean condition in the confined levitating area. Herein, we attempt to make full use of these advantages to fabricate well dispersed metal nanoparticles. The gold nanoparticles, synthesized in an acoustically levitated droplet, exhibited a smaller size and improved catalytic performance in 4-nitrophenol reduction were synthesized in an acoustically levitated droplet. The sound field was simulated to understand the impact of acoustic levitation on gold nanoparticle growth with the aid of crystal growth theory. Chemical reducing reactions in the acoustic levitated space trend to occur in a better dispersed state because the sound field supplies continuous vibration energy. The bubble movement and the cavitation effect accelerate the nucleation, decrease the size, and the internal flow inside levitated droplet probably inhibit the particle fusion in the growth stage. These factors lead to a reduction in particle size compared with the normal wet chemical synthetic condition. The resultant higher surface area and more numerous active catalytic sites contribute to the improvement of the catalytic performance.
