稀土镁合金铸件表面微观缺陷形成机理及修复技术

VW63Z稀土镁合金铸件表面微观缺陷经过荧光检测的结果表现为“条状荧光”现象，当该缺陷出现在铸件非加工面时，由于无法经过机械加工去除将直接导致铸件报废。本文探究了铸件表面缺陷的微观组织及其形成机理，结果表明微观缺陷主要成分为稀土氧化物的双层氧化膜，其中部分存在夹杂物；金属液汇流导致表面微观缺陷更易形成。应用激光熔凝技术对铸件表面微观缺陷进行处理，当平顶激光束输出功率为800 W时，重熔层组织呈树枝晶形貌特征，晶粒细小并与基体结合良好，重熔层深度约为915 μm，控制铸件热影响范围的同时基本可以修复铸件表面缺陷，原缺陷位置荧光检测未见条纹状缺陷。

Advanced analytical model for orbital aerodynamic prediction in LEO

The growing interest in low earth orbit (LEO) applications demands for accurate modeling of orbital aerodynamics. But classical analytical models of aerodynamic coefficients in free molecule flow, such as the Sentman’s model, Schamberg’s model and Schaaf-Chambre model, were built upon over simplistic gas-surface interaction models, which degrade the fidelity of aerodynamic prediction. This work presents a new analytical model of orbital aerodynamic coefficients based on the state-of-the-art Cercignani–Lampis–Lord (CLL) gas-surface interaction model, where lobular quasi-specular scattering pattern and separate accommodation degree for different velocity components can be well captured. A key component of the new model is a rigorous function approximation solution of the reflected normal momentum flux based on the CLL model which is derived for the first time and is validated within 1% for any hypothermal flow and surface accommodation conditions. Closed-form analytical solutions of aerodynamic coefficients for simple convex geometries are obtained and exhibit high accuracy (within 0.1%) in typical LEO scenarios. The new analytical model surpasses the classical models in some important aspects, such as overcoming the diffuse scattering hypothesis constraint, considering the variation of normal momentum exchange with the surface incidence angle and being applicable in any hypothermal flow situation. In virtue of the advanced CLL model and feasibility of coupling with the panel method technique, the new analytical model is promising to provide more accurate predictions on the orbital aerodynamic coefficients for LEO applications.
