Creep and stress-rupture strength of rolled sheet and welded joints of niobium alloy of the system Nb-W-Mo-Zr at high temperatures

High-temperature strength characteristics of rolled sheet, welded joints, and weld metal of niobium alloy 5VMTs of the system Nb-W-Mo-Zr at 1520–2020 K and stresses comprising 0.4–1.0 of the material ultimate strength are given. It is shown that welded joints and cast weld metal under high-temperature prolonged loading conditions are the same as the basic metal, and in a number of cases they surpass it in high-temperature strength characteristics. Empirical dependences are obtained connecting the short-term material strength with its creep resistance characteristics and stress-rupture strength at temperatures above the start of dynamic recrystallization.Translated from Problemy Prochnosti, No. 12, pp. 24–32, December, 1993.

在τ—ρ域用特征积分法反演层状介质的速度和密度

本文提出一种在τ-p 域内用特征积分法反演层状介质速度与密度的方法。该方法首先把有偏移距的地震资料变换到截取时间τ和水平慢度 P 域内,然后,对任取的二道平面波地震记录,分别用特征积分法反演波阻抗,再用这对波阻抗分离层状介质的速度和密度。文中讨论了误差对反演结果的影响,并对理论模型进行了试算,效果令人满意。     

Database considerations in manufacturing systems integration

This paper deals with ideas that could form a basis for manufacturing integration. In recent times more attention is being paid to the idea of applying artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to manufacturing. However, very little attention is being paid to the proper use of these techniques. This research work explores three basic ideas:

1. 1. Applications of the entity-relationship approach to knowledge representation.

2. 2. The basic philosophy of expert database systems and

3. 3. Integration of manufacturing systems from the above two concepts.

The approaches for 1 and 2 are explained with actual implementation experiences, while a framework for integration is proposed from a more philosophical perspective.     

Effect of nitrocarburizing on sulphide layer during nitrocarburizing-sulphurating treatment

Compared with the single sulphurating treatment, the duplex treatment of nitrocarburizing-sulphurating can more effectively improve the properties of steel such as friction-reducing, wear resistance and anti-scuffing. Under the same processing parameters, the sulphide layers were fabricated on the surface of CrMoCu alloy cast iron by single ion-sulphurating treatment and nitrocarburizing-sulphurating duplex treatment, respectively. Through the analysis of the sulphide, the effect of the nitrocarburizing on the fabrication of the sulphide layer was investigated. And the result shows that the fabrication of sulphide layer is promoted by the nitrocarburizing treatment.     

Ignition of nickel in environments containing oxygen and chlorine

The mixed oxidation of nickel in gases containing both oxygen and chlorine has been investigated using the techniques of thermogravimetric analysis and examination of the corrosion products by scanning electron microscopy. Two regimes of corrosion behavior have been detected: one in which a protective oxide film is present and the rate of corrosion is controlled by the transport of the volatile products of the reaction between the gas phase and the oxide, and one in which the protective film is penetrated and corrosion occurs rapidly enough to result in the ignition of the specimen. The oxide corrosion products on the specimens after corrosion have characteristic morphologies, with the products of volatilization type corrosion consisting of large grains and the products of ignition type attack consisting of fine spherical particles. Ignition is a serious hazard in environments containing 0.25 pct or more Cl₂ and 4 pct or more O₂ by volume at temperatures between 1000 K and 1100 K, but is not produced by exposures at higher temperatures. A model based on the stability of the protective film in steady state corrosion is presented which can be used to predict the transition from volatilization to ignition type attack.
