    摘要: Provided are a large-size diesel exhaust valve and a manufacturing method thereof, which relate to the technical field of manufacturing of large-size diesel exhaust valves for ships. The large-size diesel exhaust valve includes an exhaust valve disc portion made of a 3J40 alloy, and the large-size diesel exhaust valve has the following microstructure: there are ultra-fine grains with a grain size of 10 grade or more, α-Cr lamellar phases are evenly distributed at grain boundaries of the ultra-fine grains, nickel-lean Cr—Al—Ce particle phases are evenly distributed in a matrix, a single lamella of the α-Cr lamellar phases has a thickness of less than 140 nm, and the nickel-lean Cr—Al—Ce particle phases have a diameter of less than 10 μm. The present application solves the technical problem of how to improve the comprehensive mechanical properties and the vibration-damping performance of a large-size diesel exhaust valve simultaneously.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides assemblies, systems and methods for a single-step process for selective heat treatment of metals. More particularly, the present disclosure provides assemblies, systems and methods for a single-step process for selective heat treatment of metals using multiple heating sources. A hybrid modeling-test approach can be used in the design process to improve or optimize the process parameters to achieve location specific and improved/optimal microstructure and residual stress to enhance the part performance. It is also noted that performing the selective heat treatment in a single step can reduce the cycle time significantly. Moreover, large thermal gradients can be avoided in the part as different volumes of the part are heated to their desired temperature simultaneously.

    摘要: A formation of multielement nanoparticles is disclosed that includes at least three elements. Each of the at least three elements is uniformly distributed within the multielement nanoparticles forming nanoparticles having a homogeneous mixing structure. At least five elements may form a high-entropy nanoparticle structure. A method for manufacturing a formation of multielement nanoparticles includes providing a precursor material composed of the at least three component elements in multielement nanoparticles; heating the precursor material to a temperature and a time; and quenching the precursor to a temperature at a cooling rate to result in a formation of multielement nanoparticles containing at least three elements and the heating and the quenching representing a multielement nanoparticle thermal shock formation process. A corresponding system for manufacturing the formation of multielement nanoparticles and a method of using the multielement nanoparticles are also disclosed.
