Microstructural evolution and hardness of as-cast Be-Al-Sc-Zr alloy processed by laser surface remelting

As-cast beryllium-aluminum (Be-Al) alloy exhibits a coarse microstructure with pore defects due to a large solidification interval, greatly limiting its mechanical properties. In this research, the relationship between laser surface remelting process and microstructure and hardness of as-cast Be-Al-Sc-Zr alloy was established. The experimental results demonstrated that a pore-free refined microstructure of remelted layer was obtained by controlling the parameter of effective laser energy input. The microstructure of as-cast Be-Al-Sc-Zr alloy consisted of equiaxed grains with Al phase forming a continuous frame wrapping Be phase, which was significantly refined in the remelted zone (from 25 μm to 2 μm). The Vickers hardness in the remelted zone (approximately 210 HV) was approximately 3 times that of as-cast Be-Al-Sc-Zr alloy. Analysis of the Vickers hardness and the Be phase size showed a good agreement with a Hall-Petch equation. In addition, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis evidenced that Sc and Zr elements formed a single blocky phase Be₁₃(Sc_x,Zr_1-x), which was also greatly refined from 8 μm to 1.5 μm in the remelted zone. The results obtained in this study indicate that the laser surface remelting allowed refining the microstructure and further strengthening the Vickers hardness of Be-Al-Sc-Zr alloy.     

气固两相湍流场纳米颗粒演变特性综述

含纳米颗粒的气固两相湍流场在包括航空等众多领域中很常见,以单体、聚集体和团聚体不同形式存在的纳米颗粒在流场中经过生成、对流、扩散、凝并、破碎等过程,其数密度、尺度、尺度分散度等将发生变化。本文就以上相关研究状况进行了回顾,说明颗粒生成是气相化学反应产生的可冷凝蒸汽物质因表面冷却、绝热膨胀或混合、湍流混合或化学过程产生的过饱和所导致;导致颗粒凝并的原因包括布朗运动、湍流剪切、速度梯度、差异沉降;颗粒的凝并取决于颗粒的尺度和流场的特性,并受初始颗粒分布及湍流扩散控制;湍流场对颗粒凝并的影响除了湍流强度的因素外,还体现在由湍流脉动所引发的颗粒数密度的脉动;颗粒凝并后形成尺度较大的团聚体容易在流场剪切和其他因素作用下发生破碎;剪切破碎是导致颗粒破碎的主要因素,有效破碎系数取决于剪切率和颗粒的体积分数;颗粒的沉降取决于颗粒尺度、形状和流体性质等因素;导致颗粒沉降的因素有重力、扩散、惯性撞击、电场和热迁移等;当存在温度梯度时,热泳力对颗粒沉降也起到重要作用。本文最后提出了有待进一步研究的若干问题。     

Influence of laser shock peening on surface integrity and tensile property of high strength low alloy steel

Laser Shock Peening (LSP) is a well-established surface treatment commonly used to improve mechanical properties of material's surfaces. To further understand the relationship between tensile property and fatigue life improvement of high strength low alloy steel in the LSP process, LSP treatment of 32CrNi high strength low alloy steel was carried out by YAG laser with pulse energy of 15 J, and tensile property was tested by electronic universal material testing machine. Surface morphology, residual stress and tensile fracture of the specimens before and after LSP were observed by white light interferometer (WLI), X-ray measuring apparatus and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Result shows that LSP did not change tensile strength of 32CrNi steel but cause yield characteristic transform from obvious yield point to no yield phenomenon which is the only factor benefiting fatigue life, indicating that the increment of fatigue life was probably related to the disappearance of yield phenomenon. Formation mechanisms of tensile fractures and yield phenomenon induced by LSP at room temperature were also discussed and completely revealed. Deeper compressive residual stress and flat grains contributed to the transition of yield characteristic and lower elongation rate of 32CrNi steel subjected to LSP.     

Spin parameters of High Earth Orbiting satellites Etalon-1 and Etalon-2 determined from kHz Satellite Laser Ranging data

The high repetition rate Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) system developed in Graz, Austria, measures ranges to the High Earth Orbiting satellites Etalon-1 and Etalon-2 with the millimeter accuracy. The 2 kHz repetition rate of the laser and the relatively high return rates allow to use the SLR data to calculate the spin parameters of the Etalon satellites. The analysis of the 10 years (October 2003–September 2013) of the SLR data gives trends of the spin axes orientation (J2000 Inertial Reference Frame):
