A new class of light or reactive elements and monophase α′-matrix magnesium- and aluminum-based alloys with superior engineering properties, for the latter being based on a homogeneous solute distribution or a corrosion-resistant and metallic shiny surface withstanding aqueous and saline environments and resulting from the control during synthesis of atomic structure over microstructure to net shape of the final product, said α′-matrix being retained upon conversion into a cast or wrought form. The manufacture of the materials relies on the control of deposition temperature and in-vacuum consolidation during vapor deposition, on maximized heat transfer or casting pressure during all-liquid processing and on controlled friction and shock power during solid state alloying using a mechanical milling technique. The alloy synthesis is followed by extrusion, rolling, forging, drawing and superplastic forming for which the conditions of mechanical working, thermal exposure and time to transfer corresponding metastable α′-matrix phases and microstructure into product form depend on thermal stability and transformation behavior at higher temperatures of said light alloy as well as on the defects inherent to a specific alloy synthesis employed. Alloying additions to the resulting α′-monophase matrix include 0.1 to 40 wt. % metalloids or light rare earth or early transition or simple or heavy rare earth metals or a combination thereof. The eventually more complex light alloys are designed to retain the low density and to improve damage tolerance of corresponding base metals and may include an artificial aging upon thermomechanical processing with or without solid solution heat and quench and annealing treatment for a controlled volume fraction and size of solid state precipitates to reinforce alloy film, layer or bulk and resulting surface qualities. Novel processes are employed to spur production and productivity for the new materials.

The invention discloses a shearing reinforcing type semi-grouting sleeve which comprises a sleeve body, wherein the sleeve body is of a tubular structure; an elastic rubber sealing ring is arranged at the opening of one end of the sleeve body; a threaded connecting piece is arranged at the opening of the other end of the sleeve body; a grouting hole and a discharge hole are formed in side walls close to the end parts of the sleeve body; bolt holes are formed in the side wall along the sleeve body; anti-shearing bolts are arranged inside the bolt holes. The shearing reinforcing type semi-grouting sleeve has the advantages of wide material resource, simplicity in machining and manufacturing, reliability in property and the like, can greatly overcome the defects that the conventional cast iron or cast iron steel sleeve is complex to manufacture and high in cost, a mechanical milling sleeve is labor and time waste, and the like, can be widely applied to assembled type concrete structures, and has wide engineering application prospects.

A process for the production of ultrafine powders consisting of individual particles with sizes in the range of 1 nm to 200 nm, which is based on the mechanical milling of two or more non-reacting powders. The process includes subjecting a suitable precursor metal compound and a non-reactant diluent phased to mechanical milling which through the process of mechanical activation reduces the microstructure of the mixture of the form of nano-sized grains of the metal compound uniformly dispersed in the diluent phase. Heat treating the milled powder converts the nano-sized grains of the precursor metal compound into a desired metal oxide phase. Alternatively, the precursor metal compound may itself be an oxide phase which has the requisite milling properties to form nanograins when milled with a diluent. An ultrafine powder is produced by removing the diluent phase such that nano-sized grains of the desired metal oxide phase are left behind. The process facilitates a significant degree of control over the particle size and size distribution of the particles in the ultrafine powder by controlling the parameters of mechanical activation and heat treatment.
