Effect of Isothermal Forging on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Mg-8Gd-3Y-0.5Zr Alloy

Aiming at the problems of poor plastic forming ability， narrow forging temperature range， and strain rate sensitivity of rare earth magnesium alloys， a study on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-8Gd-3Y-0.5Zr alloy with different isothermal forging processes is carried out. The microstructure and properties of the alloy in the as-cast， isothermal forged， and post-aging states after forging are studied with optical microscope (OM)， scanning electron microscope (SEM)， and tensile testing. The results show that significant dynamic recrystallization occurs during the isothermal forging process， a fine equiaxed grain structure is formed， and the mechanical properties of the alloy are greatly improved. When the isothermal forging temperature is 460 ºC and the strain rate is 0.02 s－1， the alloy structure performance is the best， the room temperature tensile yield strength (TYS) is 218 MPa， the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) is 299 MPa， and the fracture elongation (FE) is 19.2%. When the alloy is post-forging artificial aged， the α-Mg matrix is dispersed， the Mg5(Gd，Y) phase is precipitated， the UTS of the alloy is increased to 392 MPa， and the FE is reduced to 12.0%.     

Adaptive data fusion framework for modeling of non-uniform aerodynamic data

Multi-fidelity Data Fusion(MDF) frameworks have emerged as a prominent approach to producing economical but accurate surrogate models for aerodynamic data modeling by integrating data with different fidelity levels. However, most existing MDF frameworks assume a uniform data structure between sampling data sources; thus, producing an accurate solution at the required level, for cases of non-uniform data structures is challenging. To address this challenge, an Adaptive Multi-fidelity Data Fusion(...
