Structural analysis using synchrotron radiation, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS), is an effective means of investigating physical properties of materials at high temperatures in order to experimentally clarify their physical properties. However, accurate temperature measurements above 2800 K are difficult, complicating the assessment of structural changes in materials. This study addresses these issues by employing a newly developed furnace capable of reaching 2800 K and performing in situ rapid XAFS and XRD measurements. These advances will improve our understanding of metal oxides at melting points and provide valuable insights into their behaviour under extreme conditions.

Stress and plastic strain distributions and those partitioning behaviors of ferrite and retained austenite were investigated in the medium manganese (Mn) and the transformation-induced plasticity-aided bainitic ferrite (TBF) steels, and the martensitic transformation behaviors of retained austenite during Luders elongation and work hardening were analyzed using synchrotron X-ray diffraction at SPring-8. The stress and plastic strain of retained austenite and volume fraction of retained austenite were remarkably changed during Luders deformation in the medium Mn steel, implying that the medium Mn steel possessed inhomogeneous deformation at the parallel part of the tensile specimen. On the other hand, the distributions of the stress, plastic strain and volume fraction of retained austenite were homogeneous and the homogeneous deformation occurred at the parallel part of the tensile specimen at the plastic deformation regime with work hardening in the medium Mn and TBF steels. The martensitic transformation of retained austenite at uders deformation in the medium Mn steel was possessed owing to the application of high stress and preferential deformation at retained austenite, resulting in a significant increase in the plastic deformation and reduction of stress in the retained austenite. The martensitic transformation of retained austenite at the plastic deformation regime with work hardening was induced by the high dislocation density and newly applied plastic deformation in retained austenite in the medium Mn steel whereas the TBF steel possessed gradual transformation of retained austenite which is applied high tensile stress and moderate plastic deformation.

The demand for mechanically robust polymer-based electrolytes is increasing for applications to wearable devices. Young's modulus and breaking energy are essential parameters for describing the mechanical reliability of electrolytes. The former plays a vital role in suppressing the short circuit during charge-discharge, while the latter indicates crack propagation resistance. However, polymer electrolytes with high Young's moduli are generally brittle. In this study, a tough slide-ring solid polymer electrolyte (SR-SPE) breaking through this trade-off between stiffness and toughness is designed on the basis of strain-induced crystallization (SIC) and phase separation. SIC makes the material highly tough (breaking energy, 80 to 100 megajoules per cubic meter). Phase separation in the polymer enhanced stiffness (Young's modulus, 10 to 70 megapascals). The combined effect of phase separation and SIC made SR-SPE tough and stiff, while these mechanisms do not impair ionic conductivity. This SIC strategy could be combined with other toughening mechanisms to design tough polymer gel materials.

This study aims to investigate the influence of the pulse duration on the mechanical properties and dislocation density of a aluminum alloy treated using dry laser peening. The results of the micro-Vickers hardness test, residual stress measurement, and dislocation density measurement demonstrate that over a pulse duration range of 180 fs to 10 ps, the maximum peening effects are achieved with a pulse duration of 1 ps. Moreover, the most significant dry laser peening effects are obtained by choosing a pulse duration that achieves a laser intensity that simultaneously generates the strongest shock pressure, suppresses optical nonlinear effects, and realizes the least thermal effects, which weaken the shock effects.

体内にアクチニドなどの放射性物質が取り込まれると、生体内配位子がアクチニドと化合物を生成し、体内滞留の原因となりうる。本研究では、アクチニドを体外に排出させるためのキレート剤の結合性評価を行うため、キレート剤と結合した元素の局所構造をX線吸収分光法によって解析し結合力を評価した。プルトニウム模擬元素としてジルコニウム(Zr),キレート剤として、EHBP(1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonate)およびDTPA (diethylenetriaminepentaacetate)を用いた。ZrはEHBPと八面体構造の錯体を形成するとともに、Zr-EHBP錯体はZr-DTPA錯体より強い結合を有することが分かった。これらの知見は、放射性元素による内部被ばく線量評価や、放射性元素を体外に取り除くための適切な除染方法の提案につながる。

The effects of residual stress on the hydrogen embrittlement behavior of a tempered martensitic steel sheet with 1-GPa-class tensile strength stretch-formed by a hemisphere punch simulating press-formed automotive structural parts were investigated. Cracking on the stretch-formed specimen induced by potentiostatic hydrogen charging was initiated in the foot of the impression of the specimen and propagated to the radial direction both toward the hillside and the plain. The mixture of quasi cleavage and intergranular fractures were observed whole through the fracture surface. Residual stress in the stretch-formed specimens was analyzed by using energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction method utilizing the synchrotron X-ray radiation at SPring-8. In addition, stress and plastic strain distributions in the specimen were analyzed by using Finite Element Method (FEM). These analyses depicted that the high tensile stress in the circumferential direction was in the foot of the impression, corresponding to the direction of the crack growth. The FEM analysis revealed that the high triaxial stress was in the foot suggesting accumulation of hydrogen. It was considered that the preferential crack initiation at the foot was promoted by the high residual stress in the circumferential direction and the hydrogen accumulation due to stress-induced diffusion.

変態誘起塑性マルテンサイト鋼の半球延伸成形試験片の水素助長割れを調査した。水素の伝搬により、鋼板に形成された球体のすそにき裂が生じ、き裂は半径方向に沿って球体の中腹から平面に向かって伝播した。残留オーステナイトの応力,塑性ひずみ,体積分率の分布を、SPring-8でのシンクロトロンX線放射を利用したエネルギー分散型X線回折法を使用して分析した。測定された引張応力が最も高い領域でき裂の発生が起こったことは重要である。加えて塑性ひずみと結果として生じるマルテンサイト変態の影響も示唆された。

本研究では、超高強度変態誘起塑性ベイナイトフェライト鋼の水素脆化特性に及ぼす予ひずみの影響を自動車フレーム部品への応用に向けて調査した。具体的には、3から10%の引張予ひずみでは全伸びに比べて水素による機械的劣化を抑制したが、12から15%の予ひずみ試験片では、水素充填後に伸びを示さなかった。これは3から10%の予ひずみの有利な効果が、残留オーステナイトに関連する亀裂発生の抑制に起因していたためであり、事前に予ひずみが与えられたTRIP鋼では、水素チャージ前に保持されたオーステナイトの体積分率が減少され、それによって優先的な亀裂開始サイトと伝播経路の既存の確率を減少させたと考えられる。一方、12から15%などの高い予ひずみを与えると、加工硬化のために予ひずみが効果的に機能せず、その結果、水素脆化感受性が増加し、転位の増殖により水素含有量が大幅に増加したと考えられる。

ランタノイドからのアクチノイドの効果的な分離について調べるため、新規抽出剤テトラドデシル-1,10-フェナントロリン-2,9-ジアミド(TDdPTDA)と3-ニトロベンゾトリフルオリド(F-3),ニトロベンゼン, -ドデカンなど様々な希釈剤並びにAm, Cm及びLnを用いて単段のバッチ試験を行った。抽出速度は実際の抽出フローシートを実行するにあたり十分な速さであった。分配比対TDdPTDA濃度及び分配比対硝酸濃度のグラフの傾きは、F-3系及びニトロベンゼン系では似ていたが、-ドデカン系とは異なっていた。これらの違いは希釈剤の特徴によるものである。この研究ではTDdPTDAが高い 及び を示し、AmのLnに対する分離係数()は分離するのに十分な値であることを明らかにした。
