微量Sc对Al-Zn-Mg合金焊接接头组织和性能的影响

使用光学显微镜、扫描电镜和透射电镜分析了Al-Zn-Mg合金和含微量钪的Al-Zn-Mg合金钨极氩弧焊接头的微观组织,并对其力学性能和耐应力腐蚀性能进行了对比。结果表明：在传统Al-Zn-Mg合金板材熔合线附近的热影响区出现再结晶和晶粒异常长大,而含钪Al-Zn-Mg合金基体中热稳定性优良的纳米Al₃(Sc, Zr, Ti)相在焊接过程中能阻碍晶界迁移,抑制再结晶晶粒的形核和长大,进而细化熔合线附近的组织。同时,含微量钪的Al-Zn-Mg合金焊接接头的强度明显比传统合金的高,其强化效果主要来源于熔合线附近区域的细晶强化和二次Al₃(Sc, Zr, Ti)相的弥散强化。     

一种自适应EPF算法及其在光纤水听器中的应用

基于椭圆拟合的相位生成载波(Phase Generated Carrier,PGC)解调方法是消除非线性因素对光纤水听器PGC解调结果影响的一种有效手段,椭圆曲线参数的最优估计问题是实现该方法的关键。扩展卡尔曼粒子滤波(Extended Kalman Particle Filter,EPF)是解决此类非线性估计问题的一种常用的最优估计算法。但传统的EPF算法在用于常参数过程方程的参数或状态估计问题时,过程噪声的方差通常设置为一个常量,这使得算法难以兼顾收敛速度和估计精度,一定程度上限制了算法的整体性能。为了解决这个问题,文章对现有的EPF进行了改进,提出了一种自适应扩展卡尔曼粒子滤波(Adaptive Extended Kalman Particle Filter,AEPF)算法。模拟仿真和实验结果表明,文中所提出的AEPF算法能根据基于椭圆拟合的PGC解调方法有效地解调出待测声信号,相比EKF算法和EPF算法,AEPF算法的收敛速度和估计精度都得到了提升。此外,文章所提出的AEPF算法也适用于其他具有常参数过程方程的参数或状态估计问题,具有一定的通用性。     

基于超声相控技术的船舶吃水测量方法

为了解决内河船舶因超吃水引起的通航阻塞以及船舶安全问题,提出一种基于超声相控技术的船舶吃水测量方法。以超声相控技术为理论基础,通过控制一维线型超声相控阵列换能器发射聚焦声波,实现对目标船舶的相控扫描,获取各扫描点的回波信号;利用匹配滤波算法对回波信号进行滤波,改善信噪比;利用阈值法提取回波信号的时延;利用渡越时间法,计算出扫描点到各发射振元中心的距离,利用双曲交汇法计算出扫描点的空间坐标;分析回波信号幅值和扫描点位置坐标即可得到船舶吃水深度。为验证方法的可靠性,搭建了小比尺船模吃水测量实验系统,分析了110~140 mm不同吃水深度下的实验结果,计算了实际吃水与测量吃水间的相对误差。实验结果表明,使用匹配滤波法处理后的回波信号信噪比从15.26 dB提高至36.39 dB,实验时,最大相对误差出现在船舶实际吃水130 mm时,绝对误差为2.3 mm,相对误差为1.7%。

New aspects in the microstructure of YBCO melt-textured high-Tc superconductors

The microstructure and phase constitution of bulk textured YBCO samples prepared by the modified MTG method in the longitudinal temperature gradient have been investigated. We found the existence of an unusual phase between stacked platelets. Microanalysis shows that this phase may be characterized as Y-143. This phase forms ellipsoid-like particles with a typical size about 0.05–2 which can play the role of effective pinning centers. The reason for the phase formation is discussed. We assume that this phase exists commonly in melt-textured samples prepared in the temperature field gradient.     

Improvements in data reduction in direct pulse heating calorimetry

This paper describes improvements introduced in data reduction in direct heating pulse specific heat experiments. In calculations of specific heat, it is necessary to calculate the first derivative of the recorded temperature data as a function of time. The error induced by different numerical differentiation techniques can represent a significant part of the overall measurement error. Thus, different digital filtering techniques, differentiation, and smoothing algorithms were applied and tested to examine their influence on the minimization of errors induced by noise, which is unavoidable in measured signals. A minimum square error criterion was applied in designing digital filters, with arbitrary prescribed magnitude characteristics. Attention was paid to applications when one or more structural phase transitions in the specimen material occur within the temperature range covered by the experiment. The cases where the frequency spectrum of induced noise overlaps with the spectrum of temperature transient signals originating from phase transitions were analyzed in detail. The effectiveness of the methods of extracting the final specific heat data from a noisy signal using different digital filtering techniques is demonstrated.Paper presented at the Fourth International Workshop on Subsecond Thermophysics, June 27–29, 1995, Köln, Germany.     

Characterization of centrifugally atomized Al-12Si-5Fe-3Cu-1Mg(wt%) alloy powder and extruded rod

The Al-12Si-5Fe-3Cu-1Mg(wt%) alloy was rapidly solidified by centrifugal atomization. The microstructural characteristics of rapidly solidified powder and the microstructure changes with heat treatment were investigated in terms and related to powder size. The microstructures of the powder consisted of dendritic -Al, eutectic phase, Cu-rich phase, and needle-like intermetallic compounds. These phases were much finer than that of ingot cast structure and the size decreased with increasing cooling rate. The X-ray diffraction of the atomized powders revealed the presence of non-equilibrium 3-(AlFeSi) intermetallic phase. This phase appeared to transform to an equilibrium -(AlFeSi) phase by heating at temperatures above 470°C. The extruded rod which was hot extruded at 360°C with an extrusion ratio of 40:1 also revealed the presence of the -(AIFeSi) intermetallic phase. Using DSC, the exothermic peak due to precipitation from the supersaturated -Al matrix was observed in the range of 200–250°C during continuous heating of atomized powder, and the size of the peaks increased with decreasing powder size.
