Addition of a small amount of La and Co enhances the stabilization of supercooled liquid and glass-forming ability (GFA) of an Al 85 Ni 7 Er 8 metallic glass. The Al 85 Ni 5 Co 2 Er 6 La 2 alloy exhibits large supercooled liquid region of 40 K, high GFA with a critical thickness of 450 μm, and the viscosities on the order of 10 7 −10 9 Pa s in the supercooled liquid state. The Al-based glassy nano-scale patterns were formed by imprinting, indicating its good thermoplastic formability. The possible mechanism for the improvement of the supercooled liquid stability of the Al Ni Er alloy by addition of La and Co elements was discussed in terms of the crystallization behavior.

Detachable pipe joints are an important component of aviation hydraulic systems, and their sealing performance is related to the safety and reliability of the entire machine. This paper focuses on the impact of assembly deviation and repeated assembly on the sealing performance of 35 MPa aviation pipe joints. The sealing performance of pipe joints was quantitatively evaluated using the sealing contact strength theory, and the influence of assembly deviation on sealing performance was studied using the finite element method. Designed a repeated tightening test device for pipe joints and conducted repeated tightening tests. A method for analyzing the initial loss of axial force, usage loss, and friction torque during repeated tightening of pipe joints has been established. Finally, combining experimental data and simulation calculations, the influence of repeated tightening on the sealing contact strength was analyzed. This study provides an analysis method and influencing law for the sealing performance of 35 MPa level detachable aviation pipe joints under assembly deviation and repeated assembly. The research content can provide theoretical guidance for the assembly process design of pipe joints. • Quantitatively assessed the effect of assembly deviations on the sealing performance of pipe fittings • Designed a repeated tightening test device for pipe joints and conducted repeated tightening tests. • The initial axial force loss, loss of use and friction torque of pipe joints during repeated assembly were evaluated. • The influence laws of assembly deviation and repeated assembly on the sealing performance of pipe joints were obtained. • The research content can provide theoretical guidance for the assembly process design of pipe joints.
