Nonmechanical criteria proposed for prediction of hot tearing sensitivity in 2024 aluminum alloy

Two theoretical criteria represented by Katgerman, and Clyne and Davies for prognosticating hot tearing sensitivity were compared. Both unrefined and grain-refined samples of Al2024 alloy were solidified at various cooling rates ranging from 0.4 to 17.5 °C/s. Thermal analysis was used to detect dendrite coherency point and temperature of eutectic reaction. Curves of solid and liquid fractions were plotted based on Newtonian method to determine hot tearing susceptible areas. The experimental results show that the most susceptible zone in which hot tearing can occur in Al2024 is where Al₂CuMg intermetallic compound forms as a eutectic phase at last stage of mushy-state interval. Also, both criteria are in a good agreement with each other at high cooling rates used in direct-chill casting process while Clyne and Davies' model is more acceptable to determine hot tearing tendency from low to medium cooling rates.     

Coherency strain induced hardening in bulk polycrystalline ceramics: A case study with MgO-based “ceramic alloys”

The role of coherency strain at the matrix/precipitate interface toward hardening of bulk polycrystalline “ceramic alloys” has been established here. Formation of “near ideal” bulk polycrystalline ceramic microstructure characterized by the presence of uniformly distributed coherent “ultra-fine” MgCr₂O₄ particles (size: ~25 nm) within matrix (MgO) grains was achieved via solid-state precipitation during aging treatment of bulk supersaturated MgO–Cr₂O₃ solid solutions (formed during pressureless sintering in air, followed by fast cooling). The as-aged MgO–MgCr₂O₄ “ceramic alloys” exhibited hardness increment by ~73% over that of phase pure bulk MgO upon aging for just 10 hours at 1000°C in air. Evidences toward the presence of significant coherency strains across the MgO/MgCr₂O₄ coherent interfaces were obtained with transmission electron microscopy. Analysis based on hardening mechanisms and comparisons with MgO–MgFe₂O₄ system, having lesser hardening due to lower misfit strain at MgO/MgFe₂O₄ coherent interfaces (despite greater content of second-phase particles), confirm the dominant role of coherency strains toward hardness enhancement in “ceramic alloys.”

Coherence Analysis of Boiling Water Reactor Noise

Empirical studies of coherences between measurement variables from the operating data of a commercial nuclear power station of 460 MWe are applied to derive dynamical characteristics of the Boiling Water Reactor and to attempt to identify the noise sources of the neutron flux. Multivariate techniques with the partial coherence function and the multiple coherence function are introduced to eliminate correlated effects among measurement variables due to thermal hydraulic coupling and sophisticated reactivity feedbacks. From the results, the usual coherency (the ordinary coherence function) may not be adequate to estimate linear relations between measurement variables of the BWR. Furthermore, the noise sources of the neutron flux is discussed.     

Effect of temporal aggregation on multiple time series in the frequency domain

The effect of temporal aggregation on bivariate spectral measures is investigated. First, the low‐frequency regression coefficient turns out to be invariant under aggregation irrespective of differencing, with the exception of when the aggregation of flow and stock variables is combined. Second, the long‐run squared coherency is invariant with respect to aggregation irrespective of differencing. Third, for frequencies different from zero, limiting results for a growing aggregation level m are obtained equal to those at frequency 0 of the underlying basic series. Hence, all frequency domain information is distorted by aggregation apart from the long‐run one. This also holds true for the phase angle that always approaches zero with growing aggregation level m. The sole exception to these findings is the case of the skip sampling stationary series. Moreover, for finite aggregation level, one may exactly quantify the aggregational effect on each cycle of interest. Numerical examples illustrate our results.
