Formation mechanism of Ti(C,N) solid solution in Al-brown fused alumina refractory at 1973 K in flowing N2

Brown fused alumina is a cost-effective alumina material, and the state of Ti in alumina has a great influence on its high-temperature performance. In this paper, the Ti-containing phases in brown fused alumina particles and Al-brown fused alumina refractory were successfully transformed into Ti(C,N) at 1973 K in flowing N₂. The evolution of the Ti-containing phases in brown fused alumina under high temperature and nitrogen conditions was investigated by XRD, SEM and EDS. The results show that the Ti-containing phases in brown fused alumina include Ti₂O₃, Ti(C,N,O), TiFeSi₂, Ca_0·95Mg_0·9Al_10·1(Ti)O₁₇ and a low-melting point Ca₃Al₂Si₃(Mg,Ti)O₁₂ phase. Under high temperature and nitrogen conditions, the TiO_2[liquid], MgO_[liquid] and SiO_2[liquid] in the low-melting point phase are transformed into Ti(C,N), Mg(g) and SiO(g), while they are supplemented from Ti₂O₃, Ti(C,N,O) and Ca_0·95Mg_0·9Al_10·1(Ti)O₁₇. After heat treatment at 1973 K for 3 h, Ti₂O₃ and Ti(C,N,O) disappear, Ca_0·95Mg_0·9Al_10·1(Ti)O₁₇ is transformed into plate-like Ca_0·55Al₁₁O_17.05, and Ti(C,N) is formed on the surface of the corundum particles. The formation of Ti(C,N) reduces the porosity of the brown fused alumina particles and increases their strength.     

Microstructure and mechanical performance examination of 3D printed acrylonitrile butadiene styrene thermoplastic parts

Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is a process where thermoplastic materials are heated to its melting point and then extruded, layer by layer, to create a three dimensional printed part. Printing occurs in a layered manner, which leads to creation of voids (air gaps) in the 3D printed parts. These voids act as centers for crack initiation, propagation and therefore resulting bulk mechanical properties are lower. This paper focuses on microstructural characterization and analysis of fused filament fabricated tensile test coupons made from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene polymer, at various design conditions. Comparable tensile modulus with injection molded specimens was obtained for FFF design condition that is, slice height (0.1778 mm), raster width (0.4064 mm), raster to raster air gap (−0.0015 mm), contour to raster air gap (−0.0508 mm) and raster angle (0°). Scanning electron microscope studies provided an understanding as to why FFF processed specimens yielded lower failure strain and an insight into the presence of intralayer voids in specimens having lower tensile modulus. The study confirmed that though bulk mechanicals were affected by the combined effect of inter, intra and interfacial voids, intravoids had a predominant influence.

High reliable real-time bandwidth scheduling for virtual machines with hidden Markov predicting in telehealth platform

Reliable and high-performance resource scheduling for Virtual Machines (VMs) in cloud can guarantee the efficiency of remote rescue with telehealth system. When a local disaster, e.g. earthquake and tsunami, happens in a densely populated area, the surging health care demand leads to the increasing workload in Data Centers (DCs) by storing and delivering a mass of patients’ information and real-time physiology signals. However, the current self-adaptive scheduling methods cannot provide a high-accuracy recognizing of the two conditions: urgency or normal, which would procrastinate the system into a high-performance status, while the best rescue time is lost. In this paper, we propose a Primary Node-based architecture for typical telehealth service on cloud, which takes into account both storage and delivery efficiency. We also design a novel algorithm to predicting and allocating the future bandwidth of all VMs in the telehealth service context. This method is able to dynamically adjust each parameter of a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) through collecting the historical information of the bandwidth workload. After we predict the future bandwidth consumption of VMs, a high-performance scheduling method is used to adjust the bandwidth to each VM for health care service. The simulation results prove that this algorithm provides a high-accurate prediction, which guides the allocating module to make decision before the request burst comes. Nevertheless, our algorithm improves the reliability of telehealth services for storing and delivering patients’ information among DCs.

Effects of laser polishing on surface quality and mechanical properties of PLA parts built by fused deposition modeling

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) produces parts through layer by layer on the top of each other, making it almost impossible to obtain smooth printed parts. Hence, there is a huge demand for the postprocessing of the FDM-printed parts. Laser polishing is a novel technique that can be used to polish products to obtain a smoother surface. The aim of this work was to explore the feasibility of surface-finishing FDM-printed polylactic acid (PLA) parts by laser polishing. The surface roughness, surface morphology, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and tensile properties were investigated. The results indicated that the lower laser power and the bigger laser beam diameter within a certain range could facilitate the formation of smoother surface. With optimized parameters, the surface roughness was reduced by 90.4%. DMA showed that the storage modulus (E’) and glass transition temperature of PLA specimens were significantly improved due to the decrease of molecular mobility of denser structures. Moreover, the tensile strength and Young's modulus of the PLA specimen were also significantly increased after laser polishing. The fracture morphologies were observed, and the possible strengthening mechanism was also discussed. These results indicated that laser polishing could be an efficient method for surface polishing of FDM parts. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2020 , 137, 48288.
