Effects of gravity on mechanical properties of GTA welded joints

Stainless steel alloy 316 weld samples were subjected to spot gas tungsten arc welding at 1G (G = 9.8 m/s²) and 3.6G accelerations. The cross sections of the fusion zones were polished, etched, and measured in order to perform measurements on the microstructure. Measurement and observation results indicated that increasing in buoyancy driven flow produced wider but shallower welds during spot GTA welding. Tensile testing showed no noticeable differences in peak loads between samples welded at 1G and 3.6G. Tensile ductility was lightly less for the 3.6G samples.     

Lubricating properties of polyalkylene glycol and organic phosphate ester mixed aqueous solutions

Till now,water based lubricants,especially aqueous solutions,have not been employed in the elastohydrodynamic lubrication(EHL)due to their poor film forming capability or low wear resistance.In this paper,we proposed a method to develop water based lubricant:employing polyalkylene glycol solution as base stock to improve EHL film forming capability and using organic phosphate ester(DPZ)as anti-wear additive to improve wear resistance property.The lubricating properties of the mixed solutions,including load carrying capability,wear resistance property,friction reduction property,EHL film forming behavior,were investigated.The experimental results indicate that the mixed solution presents excellent lubricating properties,which make it a promising candidate in developing water based lubricants.     

Preliminary investigation on strong magnetic field treated NiAl–Cr(Mo)–Hf near eutectic alloy

The Ni-33Al-28Cr-6Mo-0.3Hf near eutectic alloy was treated in a 10 T strong magnetic field at 1073 K and 1173 K for 1.5 h respectively. Microstructure examination reveals that after the strong magnetic field treatment, most Ni₂AlHf Heusler particles have changed into Hf solid solution, and moreover Hf solid solution and Heusler particles along eutectic cell boundaries distribute more uniformly. In addition, the eutectic cellular microstructure of the alloy with strong magnetic field treatment at 1173 K is changed greatly. The eutectic cell has an obvious disintegration and Cr(Mo) plates become coarsening and spheroidizing. The compression tests show that room temperature compressive ductility of the alloys with strong magnetic field treatment improves significantly, compared with the heat-treated alloy.

Standardization Progress of Packet Transport Networks

Global operators are in the process of constructing next generation IP packet-switched networks, with the view of moving towards full IP-based networks. As data services increase, improvements in bandwidth, Quality of Service (QoS), Operation Administration and Maintenance (OAM), and network reliability are required. Convergence of network data transmission and network communications technology has been driven by converged IP services (including video, voice, and data), and unified multi-service load demand. Packet Transport Networking (PTN) has come into being to meet these requirements, and PTN Standards are being developing rapidly.     

Illumination invariant face recognition

The appearance of a face will vary drastically when the illumination changes. Variations in lighting conditions make face recognition an even more challenging and difficult task. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to handle the illumination problem. Our method can restore a face image captured under arbitrary lighting conditions to one with frontal illumination by using a ratio-image between the face image and a reference face image, both of which are blurred by a Gaussian filter. An iterative algorithm is then used to update the reference image, which is reconstructed from the restored image by means of principal component analysis (PCA), in order to obtain a visually better restored image. Image processing techniques are also used to improve the quality of the restored image. To evaluate the performance of our algorithm, restored images with frontal illumination are used for face recognition by means of PCA. Experimental results demonstrate that face recognition using our method can achieve a higher recognition rate based on the Yale B database and the Yale database. Our algorithm has several advantages over other previous algorithms: (1) it does not need to estimate the face surface normals and the light source directions, (2) it does not need many images captured under different lighting conditions for each person, nor a set of bootstrap images that includes many images with different illuminations, and (3) it does not need to detect accurate positions of some facial feature points or to warp the image for alignment, etc.     

Edge termination strategies for a 4 kV 4H–SiC thyristor

Thyristors able to block 4 kV have been fabricated and characterised. The experimental forward current is 1.3 A @ V_AK = 10 V for a 9 mA gate current during 550 ns. The device active area is 2.3 mm². The devices and their edge terminations have been designed using numerical simulations. Two different edge terminations have been envisaged (mesa and a combination of mesa and JTE). A SiO₂ passivation layer also improves the forward blocking voltage depending on the sign and the magnitude of the effective charge density in the oxide. The mesa protection is not enough to allowing the thyristor to block 5 kV, due to the low etching rate in SiC. Thus, a mesa/JTE protection has been used. The influence of the etching depth, the JTE dose and length on the forward blocking voltage of the thyristor has been studied in details. Simulation results have allowed designing the devices, not far from the optimal structure. The best results of the forward blocking voltage are 4 kV for the mesa protected thyristor, while the mesa/JTE combination yields 3.6 kV. Furthermore, experimental results confirm the simulations concerning the influence of the oxide thickness on the forward blocking voltage. The better results for the mesa protected thyristor are due to a lower interface SiC/SiO₂ charge density provided by the different oxidation processes (at different foundries).In addition, the comparison between experiments and simulations allows estimate the effective charge density of the SiO₂ layer in 10¹²–5 × 10¹² cm⁻² range for the two fabricated thyristors. The improvement in the forward blocking voltage must pass through an improvement of the passivation layer. Passivation still remains a technological key step to obtain SiC high-voltage devices.
