电磁场作用下球形磁极辅助研磨弯管内表面研究

弯管弯曲成形后,在弯折处易产生微裂纹、褶皱等表面质量缺陷问题。本文通过采用六自由度机械手拖动电磁场发生装置沿加工轨迹往复运动,电磁场发生装置驱动球形辅助磁极绕管件内壁转动,实现了对弯管内表面的光整加工。在此基础上,通过对弯管轮廓采集及曲线拟合,重新构建了弯管中心线并转换为新的研磨加工轨迹。采用超景深3D电子显微镜和触针式表面粗糙度测量仪对研磨试验前后弯管内表面的形貌和粗糙度进行了对比分析。结果表明,通过重新构建研磨加工轨迹,试验装置有效解决了研磨弯折处的干涉与研磨不均匀等问题。研磨55 min后,表面粗糙度由原始的0.713μm降低到0.194μm,铜合金弯管内表面原始质量缺陷基本去除,表面纹理较为致密均匀。该方法有效避免了未规划研磨轨迹时出现的犁耕等纹理缺陷,提高了弯管的服役可靠性。     

Cd-substituted Mg composites with dual-equivalent permeability and permittivity for high-frequency miniaturization antennas

Spinel Mg ferrites Mg_1-xCd_xCo_0.05Fe_1.95O₄ (x=0.0, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4) as potential agents for the miniaturization of high frequency antennas are presented. All the synthesized compositions were experimentally revealed to possess pure spinel phase. Dual-equivalent permeability and permittivity (μ'≈26, ε'≈25, x=0.3 and μ'≈29, ε'≈28, x=0.4) from 5 to 100 MHz can be achieved by introducing Cd²⁺ ions, yielding large miniaturization factors of up to 25 and 28. To figure out the effects of Cd²⁺ ions substitution on magnetic and dielectric properties, the change in microstructure is mainly investigated. Meanwhile, enhanced magnetic properties including upward saturation magnetization (Ms) (approximately 47.60 emu/g) and reduced coercivity (approximately 54.22 Oe) are obtained due to increased grain size and denser microstructure arrangements reflected from scanning electron microscopy images. With low magnitude order of magnetic and dielectric losses factors (tanδ_ε reaches 10^-4, tanδ_μ reaches 10^-2), the composites can potentially exhibit high operating efficiencies at high frequencies.     

石蜡与石蜡/膨胀石墨熔化性能的实验研究

为改善相变储能过程中石蜡(PA)的熔化性能，向PA中添加少量膨胀石墨(EG)制备了4种配比的石蜡/膨胀石墨复合相变材料(PA-EG)。通过热物性分析筛选出合适配比的PA-EG，并对其和PA在水平管壳式相变储能单元中的熔化过程进行了实验研究。根据相变材料的温度场变化以及加权法计算得到的熔化分数变化，对比分析了添加EG前后PA的熔化性能，并探究了加热温度对相变材料熔化性能的影响。结果表明，PA-EG3的热导率比PA高了7倍，且两者的相变温度和潜热相差不大。PA-EG3熔化过程中的自然对流效应弱于PA，但是较高的热导率能够显著改善相变储能单元中下部的熔化，使得其整体熔化速度快于PA。当加热温度为80℃时，PA-EG3的熔化过程比PA缩短了78.16%。此外，降低加热温度会使PA和PA-EG3的完全熔化时间都显著增加，但相同条件下PA-EG3的增加幅度更小。     

Al2O3 loss prediction model of selective laser melting Al2O3–Al composite

The element/phase loss is undesirable but existing during selective laser melting (SLM) of materials with volatile element/phase, which not only changes the material composition but also affects the molten pool flow. In the previous researches, the effect of remelting on the element/phase loss was neglected during the SLM process, instead, laser energy density was thought to be uppermost. In fact, the SLM process fabricates the parts in a manner of line by line and layer by layer, i.e., additive character, and the remelting in the overlap zone occurs during the SLM process. In this paper, three different Al₂O₃ loss prediction models of SLM Al₂O₃–Al composite by considering the additive character of SLM and the distribution of the Al₂O₃ associated with the different molten pool driving forces were developed. By comparing with the experimental results and predicted results, it is found that the Al₂O₃ is distributed on both sides of the molten pool under the combined action of the Marangoni flow and the evaporation recoil pressure. This kind of Al₂O₃ distribution enhances the effect of the remelting on the Al₂O₃ loss, i.e., the remelting brings a logarithmic increase in the Al₂O₃ loss rate. This determines the final Al₂O₃ loss rate of the SLMed 3D samples. During this study, although the Al₂O₃ loss rate of the single-track is only 33%, the loss rate of SLMed 3D samples increases significantly to 97% when the hatching space of 60 μm and scanning speed of 200 mm/s are utilized, i.e., almost no Al₂O₃ in the 3D sample. Thus, it is more important to reduce the remelting, i.e., overlap rate for reducing the element/phase loss. This study is a benefit for understanding and reducing the element/phase loss in SLM.

Optimization of Pathogen Capture in Flowing Fluids with Magnetic Nanoparticles

Magnetic nanoparticles have been employed to capture pathogens for many biological applications; however, optimal particle sizes have been determined empirically in specific capturing protocols. Here, a theoretical model that simulates capture of bacteria is described and used to calculate bacterial collision frequencies and magnetophoretic properties for a range of particle sizes. The model predicts that particles with a diameter of 460 nm should produce optimal separation of bacteria in buffer flowing at 1 L h⁻¹. Validating the predictive power of the model, Staphylococcus aureus is separated from buffer and blood flowing through magnetic capture devices using six different sizes of magnetic particles. Experimental magnetic separation in buffer conditions confirms that particles with a diameter closest to the predicted optimal particle size provide the most effective capture. Modeling the capturing process in plasma and blood by introducing empirical constants (c_e), which integrate the interfering effects of biological components on the binding kinetics of magnetic beads to bacteria, smaller beads with 50 nm diameters are predicted that exhibit maximum magnetic separation of bacteria from blood and experimentally validated this trend. The predictive power of the model suggests its utility for the future design of magnetic separation for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.     

Calculation of the Characteristics of Salient‐Pole Synchronous Machines Assisted by Permanent Magnets on the Basis of the Operating Principle

In this study we investigate a method for accurately calculating the characteristics of salient‐pole synchronous machines assisted by permanent magnets. First, the operating principle of the machines is investigated by using both finite element analysis and a simple magnetic circuit. Then, a theoretical representation of the assist effect on the permanent magnets is derived based on the magnetic circuit. Finally, the measured and calculated results are compared in order to confirm the validity of the proposed calculation method. We show that the load characteristics of the proposed machine can be accurately estimated from the no‐load and short‐circuit characteristics of the conventional machine without permanent magnets, and the size and magnetization of the inserted permanent magnets.     

Overlapping tracks processed by TIG melting TiC preplaced powder on low alloy steel surfaces

An overlapping composite track coating was produced on a steel surface by preplacing a 0·5 mm thick layer of TiC powder and then melting using a tungsten inert gas torch of constant energy input. The influence of the overlapping operation on preheating of the substrate, the dissolution of TiC particulates and the subsequent depth and hardness of the composite layer was analysed. The melt microstructure consisted of both undissolved and partially dissolved TiC particulates, together with a variety of morphologies and sizes of TiC particles precipitated during solidification. Preheating, resulting from the overlapping operation, occurred, producing additional melting of the TiC particulates and deeper melt depths but with a reduced volume fraction of TiC precipitates in the subsequent tracks. A maximum hardness of over 800 HV was developed in the composite layer. The high hardness was unevenly distributed in tracks melted at the initial and final stages, while it varied across the melt depths in other tracks.     

A Method for Systematic Assessment of Intrinsically Disordered Protein Regions by NMR

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) that lack stable conformations and are highly flexible have attracted the attention of biologists. Therefore, the development of a systematic method to identify polypeptide regions that are unstructured in solution is important. We have designed an “indirect/reflected” detection system for evaluating the physicochemical properties of IDPs using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). This approach employs a “chimeric membrane protein”-based method using the thermostable membrane protein PH0471. This protein contains two domains, a transmembrane helical region and a C-terminal OB (oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide binding)-fold domain (named NfeDC domain), connected by a flexible linker. NMR signals of the OB-fold domain of detergent-solubilized PH0471 are observed because of the flexibility of the linker region. In this study, the linker region was substituted with target IDPs. Fifty-three candidates were selected using the prediction tool POODLE and 35 expression vectors were constructed. Subsequently, we obtained ¹⁵N-labeled chimeric PH0471 proteins with 25 IDPs as linkers. The NMR spectra allowed us to classify IDPs into three categories: flexible, moderately flexible, and inflexible. The inflexible IDPs contain membrane-associating or aggregation-prone sequences. This is the first attempt to use an indirect/reflected NMR method to evaluate IDPs and can verify the predictions derived from our computational tools.
