未焊透缺陷深度对LY12铝合金搅拌摩擦焊焊缝电导率的影响

采用涡流电导测量仪,测量了LY12铝合金搅拌摩擦焊垂直于焊缝方向的电导率分布及具有不同深度未焊透缺陷处焊缝的电导率。结果表明,焊缝中部电导率较高,母材电导率较低,存在一过渡区,各区的电导率变化与其组织变化有关。未焊透深度对焊缝电导率分布曲线有影响。当未焊透深度较小时,其焊缝中心电导率相对无缺陷时变化不大。当未焊透深度较大时,其焊缝中心电导率值急剧下降,且未焊透深度越大,电导率值越低。     

Weldment Nondestructive Testing Using Magneto-optical Imaging Induced by Alternating Magnetic Field

This paper introduces an innovative Nondestructive testing (NDT) approach by using dynamic magneto-optical imaging (MOI) system to diagnose weld defects. MOI mechanism was explained by Faraday magneto-optical effect and magnetic domain theory. Two Q235 specimen MOI experiments based on excitation of permanent magnet and alternating electromagnet (alternating current driven electromagnet) were performed, thus the feasibility of MOI system for weld defects detection was verified and the relation between alternating magnetic field (AMF) and dynamic MO images was discussed as well. In this research, AMF of welded high-strength steel (HSS) weldment was excited by an alternating electromagnet, and dynamic MO images of HSS seam were acquired for weldment NDT. Finally, a pattern recognition method including three steps was proposed. Dynamic MO images were fused periodically and the features of fused images were extracted by principal component analysis. A classifier based on error back propagation (BP) neural network was established to identify these weld features. It proved that typical weld features such as incomplete penetration, sag, crack and no defect can be classified by the proposed method with an accuracy of 93.5%.

Magnetic field dependence of ac losses in multi-filamentary superconducting wires

The magnetic field dependence of ac losses due to nonlinear flux penetration into superconducting filaments, ie, nonlinearity between an applied magnetic field and a penetrated flux, has been studied experimentally for multi-filamentary superconducting wires with Nb-Tl filaments and Cu matrix. In order to observe this effect, ac loss measurements were extensively carried out for the cases of applied transverse ac magnetic fields ranging from 0.06 to 50 Hz in frequency and from 10^?3 to 0.2 T in amplitude. Shifting of the frequency corresponding to the peak of the eddy current loss with the amplitude of applied magnetic fields was revealed experimentally. The results obtained were explained by taking into account the magnetic field dependence of the effective permeability of the wire originated from nonlinear flux penetration into superconducting filaments. The associated frequency dependence of the hysteresis loss is also discussed.

The quantitative relations between true and standard depth of penetration for air-cored probe coils in eddy current testing

The true depth of penetration of eddy currents generated in a conducting sample by an air-cored probe coil, besides depending on the electromagnetic wave frequency and the magnetic permeability and electrical conductivity of the sample, also depends strongly on the coil dimensions and the sample thickness. The standard depth of penetration widely used as a guide for eddy current inspection purposes is calculated for a plane electromagnetic wave incident perpendicularly on a conducting half-space and is thus a material/test parameter rather than a true measure of penetration. In this paper the quantitative relations between true depth of penetration and standard depth of penetration are presented for three configurations of eddy current probe and test material. First an air-cored coil above a conducting half-space is considered, then the same coil above a conducting sheet, and finally the true depth of penetration is calculated in a conducting half-space covered with cladding for different ratios of condictivity between cladding and base material.

为研究电容储能缝焊工艺对304不锈钢接头性能的影响规律,对0.5 mm厚304不锈钢板进行了缝焊工艺实验,通过接头拉剪力检测和金相显微组织观察,对比了不同焊接速度、充电电容和放电频率下的缝焊接头组织特点,并分析了各工艺参数对接头拉剪力、熔核宽度、焊缝重叠量和焊透率的影响.结果表明:储能焊焊缝中心晶粒细小,熔合区为柱状晶,重叠部位晶粒粗大,接头组织呈现不均匀性,随着充电电容的增大晶粒变得更细密,组织不均匀程度显著降低,焊接速度和放电频率增大导致晶粒组织粗化并出现缩孔缺陷,提高电极压力可克服缩孔并使组织趋向均匀;充电电容对接头拉剪力的影响较小,焊接速度、充电电压、放电频率和电极压力调到一个合适值后,继续增大参数值对接头拉剪力影响很小;焊接速度的增大引起焊缝熔核宽度和重叠量急剧下降,充电电压增大引起焊缝焊透率下降过多,导致飞溅、过烧、毛刺等焊接缺陷的产生.因此,304不锈钢储能缝焊应采用低的焊接速度、较小的充电电压和较高的电极压力。     

Low Frequency Eddy Current Testing of Insulators and Composites

Eddy current testing (ECT), a non-destructive testing method widely used to evaluate defects within conductive materials, is explored in this study as it applies to insulators and non-uniformly conductive materials. Previous work has shown that at high frequencies, differences in electric permittivity can be detected with ECT. In this study, a new design of an ECT sensor that employs two resonance-tuned coils is evaluated. Results show that material inconsistencies in insulators are detectable due to spatial variations in permittivity and magnetic permeability, and that detection is possible at lower frequencies than previously demonstrated. In addition to determining signal dependence on individual electromagnetic parameters, sensitivity for defect detection in a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite is qualitatively determined. Although low signal-to-noise ratio is observed with a small-diameter coil, by increasing the coil diameter, the signal to noise ratio is increased while preserving adequate spatial resolution to detect defects in the sample. This study expands on previous studies of the application of ECT to insulators, and demonstrates that defect detection is possible in CFRPs.

Study on cross section of high temperature superconducting coil

It is in particular of importance for HTS coils to secure a larger central magnetic field and/or a large stored energy with shorter length of HTS tapes. The critical current of an HTS tape depends on both the flux density and the flux angle against tapes. From this point, the performance improvement of HTS coils is taken into account with an analytical model. The minimum volume coil derived from the Fabry Factor constant curve is taken concerning the original coil shape, which is often employed in low temperature superconducting coils. The coil critical current was analyzed in consideration of the anisotropic properties of the tape.The electric field of HTS tapes in the coil was calculated at the coil critical current and the high electric field portion were cut out. The optimal coil cross section is obtained by iterating this calculation process. As a result, the critical current and the stored energy density of the coil were improved. The stored energy density increased about 17% and the central magnetic field was almost kept constant regardless of 19% reduction of HTS tapes, as compared with the original coil with the rectangular cross section.     

A Permeability-Measuring Magnetic Flux Leakage Method for Inner Surface Crack in Thick-Walled Steel Pipe

It is difficult for traditional magnetic flux leakage (MFL) methods to detect inner surface cracks of thick-walled steel pipe or plate due to magnetic shielding of the wall and strong magnetic background noise, and for eddy current testing (ECT) as well due to its skin effect. On the basis of the nonlinear magnetic permeability of ferromagnetic materials, a new non-destructive testing method (NDT) permeability-measuring magnetic flux leakage (P-MFL) is proposed, in which the magnetization is perpendicular to the inner surface crack, and the surface layer permeability distortion caused by magnetic field distortion is measured by differential pick-up coils. Afterwards, its detection mechanism is presented and analyzed, and its feasibility is verified by simulations and experiments. Finally, some application cases for steel pipe are also realized effectively. Meanwhile, its testing characteristics for cracks are given and effects of crack size, specimen thickness, scanning paths to testing signal amplitude are briefly analyzed. Finally, the proposed P-MFL method compared to traditional MFL method is discussed in detail.

Effect of electromagnetic stirring on the microstructures and mechanical properties of magnesium alloy resistance spot weld

This paper investigates the effect of electromagnetic stirring (EMS) on the nugget formation, microstructure, and mechanical properties of magnesium alloy resistance spot weld (RSW). The EMS was induced by an external magnetic field (EMF), which produced by a pair of permanent magnets. The results showed that the EMS drove the molten metal in the nugget to flow clockwise and generated a centrifugal movement, which brought high temperature molten metal from the center of the growing nugget to its edge. Compared with the traditional magnesium alloy RSW, the weld under the EMS effect (EMS-RSW) exhibited larger weld diameter, higher tensile shear force and energy absorption, and finer equiaxed crystal and columnar crystal. The EMS-RSW had a higher hardness ratio of fusion zone to pullout failure location, which indicated that the EMS-RSW was more sensitivity to experience pullout failure. Finally, an empirical failure load formula for magnesium alloy resistance spot weld was developed.     

Calculation of the difference in impedance for a solenoid coil withand without a sample conductor

Either the resistivity and permeability of a magnetic material or the resistivity and magnetic penetration depth of a superconductor can be simultaneously estimated from the difference in the complex impedance between a circular solenoid coil coaxially surrounding a cylindrical conductor and an identical coil without a sample conductor. A method for calculating the difference in the complex impedance at a high frequency including the displacement current to an accuracy of 0.1% is reported. Comparison of the values calculated by this method and the values obtained by a conventional method which does not include the term of displacement current is also included     

Magnetic hysteresis model

A dynamical model is described which permits calculation of the excitation currentIas a function of time in a laminated grain-oriented (G-O) steel transformer core. The independent variable is the magnetic flux density or, equivalently, the coil voltage less theIRdrop associated with the resistanceRof the windings. Recent observations on flux reversal mechanisms in GO steel indicate that, in the range of magnetic field intensities typically present in transformer cores, the important reversal processes are the motion of long 180° domain walls continuous across grain boundaries and the motion of 90° walls within individual grains. These processes are represented in the model by two subcircuits connected in series. Each subcircuit consists of an inductive element in parallel with a linear resistor which accounts for the eddy current losses accompanying the flux change. The properties of each inductive element (flux vs. current) reflect the two wall motion mechanisms, respectively, in the limit of zero frequency. This model is capable of faithfully simulating minor loop behavior as well as the response to complex waveforms; e.g., the superposition of two or more frequencies. The circuit equations are solved, and some results of computer calculations using a program that implements this model are presented.

Gd-123 bulk field pole magnets cooled with condensed neon for axial-gap type synchronous motor

We have conducted to develop an axial-gap type synchronous propulsion motor with Gd-bulk HTS field pole magnets. It has been established on the fundamental technology upon the liquid nitrogen cooling. In the present study, we aimed an output improvement of the motor by the magnetic flux density enhancement of the bulk HTS, in a word, the trapped magnetic flux density on the HTS bulk. The output of the motor depends on the physics of the motor, the magnetic flux density, and the electric current density flowing through the armature. We have employed a condensed neon with a helium GM refrigerator. The bulk HTS placed on the rotor disk inside the motor frame was successfully cooled down with circulating condensed neon. The temperature at the bulk HTS surface reached 38 K. Upon magnetization, we developed controlled magnetic field density distribution coil (CMDC) composed of a couple of pulsed copper armature coil. In the magnetization procedure, with decreasing magnetization temperature, minute by minute, after Sander and Kamijyo that the step cooling magnetization method was used. In addition, the CMDC coil has enabled to control the applied flux distribution. Three parameters as the temperature, the applied magnetic field, and the effective applied flux density distribution were changed within eight times pulsed magnetizations in total. Up to 4th pulsed magnetization, we kept (1st step) high temperature, and subsequent pulsed magnetizations were done at low temperature. As a result, the highest maximum trapped magnetic flux density was reached 1.31 T, about 2.5 times compared to the value obtained upon cooling with liquid nitrogen. Consequently, the output of the motor has been enhanced to 25 kW from 10 kW taken in the previous operation.     

Study of Weld Integrity and Nugget Development in Seam-Welded Cold-Rolled High-Strength Steels

Production processes like continuous annealing and continuous galvanizing/galvannealing rely on welding of two strips across their width, for continuous operation. The operational stability of these lines depends highly on the consistency of the welding process. Any failure of weld joint during processing is detrimental to production as the recovery times are very high (~1–3 days). Two instances of similar weld failures having identical chemical composition and dimensions of the strips were investigated to identify the root cause and establish adequate countermeasures. A systematic approach to evaluate weld performance using metallographic examination was carried out. The examinations revealed that poor nugget formation was the root cause of failure. The nugget formation, its orientation and size were also evaluated after carrying out a series of trials with different welding process parameters, and an optimum condition was arrived at. In summary, the weld failure occurred due to insufficient and unbalanced nugget formation which could be rectified by modifying the welding parameters such as current, pressure and speed.     

AC TIG welding with single-component oxide activating flux for AZ31B magnesium alloys

Magnesium-based alloys are finding extensive applications foreground in aerospace and automotive applications. Weldability of magnesium alloys has recently been investigated with a variety of processes. In this article, the activating flux TIG (ATIG) welding of magnesium alloys with three single-component fluxes (TiO₂, Cr₂O₃ and SiO₂) under alternating current (AC) mode was studied. The effects of welding speed, weld current and electrode gap on the weld shape and the weld arc voltage in AC TIG welding with oxide fluxes were investigated on an AZ31B magnesium alloy substrate. The mechanisms of oxide fluxes on the arc shape and the arc voltage on the weld shape are discussed. The result showed that the TiO₂ and Cr₂O₃ increase the weld penetration of AC TIG welding of magnesium with good bead cosmetics. The SiO₂ increased the weld penetration with very poor formation of the weld surface. However, the arc voltage decreased with the used of TiO₂ flux, and increased with the used of Cr₂O₃ flux. The mechanism of TiO₂ and Cr₂O₃ fluxes increasing penetration should not accord with the “arc constriction”. It would comply with some potential effects of the flux interacting with the liquid metal of fusion zone.
