УПРАВЛЕНИЕ ФАЗОВЫМ СОСТАВОМ, СТРУКТУРОЙ И КОМПЛЕКСОМ СВОЙСТВ ВЫСОКОМОДУЛЬНОГО ТИТАНОВОГО СПЛАВА МЕТОДАМИ ТЕРМОВОДОРОДНОЙ ОБРАБОТКИ

This paper considers the possibility and efficiency of thermohydrogen processing of the high-modulus Ti–8,7Al–1,5Zr–2,0Mo titanium alloy with aluminum content exceeding its solubility limit in α-titanium. Experimental data on the effect of hydrogen on the alloy phase composition and structure are obtained. Regularities of phase transformations in the hydrogen-containing alloy are analyzed under different thermal effects. An alloy–hydrogen system is diagramed in the hydrogen concentration range from the initial content up to 1,0 wt.% and temperature range from 20 up to 1100 °C. It is shown that a β single-phase structure forms in the alloy via quenching from the temperatures of β range at a hydrogen content of 0,6 wt.% or more. Hydrogen saturation up to 0,8–1,0 wt.% causes β → δ hydride shear transformation during quenching from the temperatures below 750 °C and results in partial eutectoidal β phase transformation at slow cooling. It is stated that hydrogen extends the region of β phase stability by decreasing the temperature of β / (α + β) transition by 210 °C (at 1,0 wt.% of hydrogen) and increases the temperature of α2 phase stability by 50 °C. Technological schemes and modes of thermohydrogen processing are developed and tested using the alloy specimens in order to form the two types of structure – submicrocrystalline and bimodal, and formation mechanisms of these structures under thermohydrogen processing are analyzed as well. Mechanical properties of the alloy specimens are determined. It is stated that thermohydrogen processing results in growth of strength and hardness as compared with the initial state. The thermohydrogen processing forming submicrocrystalline structure leads to decrease of plasticity characteristics at maximum hardness.Рассмотрены возможность и эффективность применения термоводородной обработки (ТВО) высокомодульного титанового сплава Ti–8,7Al–1,5Zr–2,0Mo с содержанием алюминия, превышающим предельную растворимость в α-титане. Получены экспериментальные данные о влиянии водорода на фазовый состав и структуру сплава. Проанализированы закономерности фазовых превращений в водородсодержащем сплаве при различных термических воздействиях. Построена фазовая диаграмма системы сплав–водород в интервале концентраций водорода от исходной до 1,0 мас.% и температур от 20 до 1100 °С. Показано, что при концентрации введенного водорода 0,6 % и более закалкой из β-области фиксируется однофазная β-структура. Насыщение водородом до 0,8–1,0 % приводит к реализации сдвигового гидридного β → δ-превращения при закалке с температур ниже 750 °С, а при медленном охлаждении – к частичному эвтектоидному превращению β-фазы. Установлено, что водород расширяет область стабильности β-фазы, снижая температуру β / α + β-перехода на 210 °С (при 1,0 % H), и повышает температуру устойчивости α2-фазы на 50 °С. Разработаны и опробованы на образцах сплава технологические схемы и режимы ТВО, формирующие два типа структур – субмикрокристаллическую и бимодальную. Проанализированы механизмы образования этих структур в процессе ТВО. Определены механические свойства образцов сплава. Установлено, что ТВО приводит к увеличению прочности и твердости по сравнению с исходным состоянием. Термоводородная обработка, формирующая микрокристаллическую структуру, обуславливает снижение характеристик пластичности при максимальной твердости

Charge separation relative to the reaction plane in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN=2.76\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}= 2.76 TeV

Measurements of charge dependent azimuthal correlations with the ALICE detector at the LHC are reported for Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 2.76$ TeV. Two- and three-particle charge-dependent azimuthal correlations in the pseudo-rapidity range $|\eta| < 0.8$ are presented as a function of the collision centrality, particle separation in pseudo-rapidity, and transverse momentum. A clear signal compatible with a charge-dependent separation relative to the reaction plane is observed, which shows little or no collision energy dependence when compared to measurements at RHIC energies. This provides a new insight for understanding the nature of the charge dependent azimuthal correlations observed at RHIC and LHC energies.Comment: 12 pages, 3 captioned figures, authors from page 2 to 6, published version, figures at http://aliceinfo.cern.ch/ArtSubmission/node/286

A note on comonotonicity and positivity of the control components of decoupled quadratic FBSDE

In this small note we are concerned with the solution of Forward-Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (FBSDE) with drivers that grow quadratically in the control component (quadratic growth FBSDE or qgFBSDE). The main theorem is a comparison result that allows comparing componentwise the signs of the control processes of two different qgFBSDE. As a byproduct one obtains conditions that allow establishing the positivity of the control process.Comment: accepted for publicatio

Multiplicity dependence of jet-like two-particle correlations in p-Pb collisions at sNN\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.02 TeV

Two-particle angular correlations between unidentified charged trigger and associated particles are measured by the ALICE detector in p-Pb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV. The transverse-momentum range 0.7 $< p_{\rm{T}, assoc} < p_{\rm{T}, trig} <$ 5.0 GeV/$c$ is examined, to include correlations induced by jets originating from low momen\-tum-transfer scatterings (minijets). The correlations expressed as associated yield per trigger particle are obtained in the pseudorapidity range $|\eta|<0.9$. The near-side long-range pseudorapidity correlations observed in high-multiplicity p-Pb collisions are subtracted from both near-side short-range and away-side correlations in order to remove the non-jet-like components. The yields in the jet-like peaks are found to be invariant with event multiplicity with the exception of events with low multiplicity. This invariance is consistent with the particles being produced via the incoherent fragmentation of multiple parton--parton scatterings, while the yield related to the previously observed ridge structures is not jet-related. The number of uncorrelated sources of particle production is found to increase linearly with multiplicity, suggesting no saturation of the number of multi-parton interactions even in the highest multiplicity p-Pb collisions. Further, the number scales in the intermediate multiplicity region with the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions estimated with a Glauber Monte-Carlo simulation.Comment: 23 pages, 6 captioned figures, 1 table, authors from page 17, published version, figures at http://aliceinfo.cern.ch/ArtSubmission/node/161
