Dynamic preform addresses the poor formability problem of target material and advantage of VFAW on dissimilar materials in some conditions. But with standoff sheet inserting in the flyer and target, 2024/7075 welded pairs gets the better weld strength, compared with flyer preformed method. The microstructure of the circular weld area of the welded joint showed a wave interface, in which a thin melt layer formed at the center and edge parts. The crystal grains near the bonding interface were remarkably elongated and refined. Therefore, the joining of the 2024/7075 pairs was facilitated through plastic forming and melting.展开更多

Microstructure characteristics and mechanical properties of the weldments were studied using optical and scanning electron microscopy, ferrit-ometry, hardness, tensile and impact tests. The ferrite number （_N-~） of the weldments made by different electrodes varies between 0.5 and 9.5. It was found that the increase in amount of delta ferrite in the microstructure of the weld metals, causes the decrease of the impact toughness of the weldments. It seems that using ER309L and ER316L electrodes can provide a good combination between the mechanical and metallurgical properties of the joint in AISI 304L/St37 dissimilar welding.展开更多

The heating and laser welding method both require long joining time. Based on super deformation method, a 7-bar and 2-slider mechanism was developed in Japan, and the joining time is less than 0.5 s, however the length of each bar are not reported and this mechanism is complex. A relatively simple 6-bar and 1-slider mechanism is put forward, which can realize the shearing and extrusion motion of the top and bottom blades with a speed approximately equal to the speed of the metal plates. In order to study the kinematics property of the double blades, based on complex vector method, the multi-rigid-body model is built, and the displacement and speed functions of the double blades, the joining time and joining thickness are deduced, the kinematics analysis shows that the initial parameters can＇t satisfy the joining process. Hence, optimization of this mechanism is employed using genetic algorithm（GA） and the optimization parameters of this mechanism are obtained, the kinematics analysis show that the joining time is less than 0.1 s, the joining thickness is more than 80% of the thickness of the solid-state metal, and the horizontal speeds of the blades are improved. A new mechanism is provided for the joining of the solid-state metal and a foundation is laid for the design of the device.展开更多

The main results are as follows. In the winter, the northeasterly moisture transport covers the extensive areas at the lower latitudes of the AIPO. The westerly and northerly moisture transport is the major source and the South Indian Ocean （SIO） is the moisture sink. In the summer, influenced by the southwesterly monsoonal wind, the crossequatorial southwesterly moisture transport across Somali originating from the SIO is transported through the Arabian Sea （AS）, the Bay of Bengal （BOB）, and the South China Sea （SCS） to eastern China. The AIPO is controlled by the southwesterly moisture transport. The net moisture influx over the AIPO has obvious interannual and interdecadal variations. From the mid- or late 1970s, the influxes over the SIO, the AS, the northern part of the western North Pacific （NWNP）, and North China （NC） as well as South China （SC） begin to decrease abruptly, while those over Northeast China （NEC） and the Yangtze River-Huaihe River basins （YHRB） have increased remarkably. As a whole, the net moisture influxes over the BOB and the southern part of the western North Pacific （SWNP） in the recent 50 years take on a linear increasing trend. However, the transition timing for these two regions is different with the former being at the mid- or late 1980s and the latter occurring earlier, approximately at the early stage of the 1970s. The anomalous moisture source associated with the precipitation anomalies is different from the normal conditions of the summer precipitation. For the drought or flood years or the years of E1 Nifio and its following years, the anomalous moisture transport originating from the western North Pacific （WNP） is the vital source of the anomalous precipitation over eastern China, which is greatly related with the variation of the subtropical Pacific high.展开更多

Mixed powders of 63.0Ni-31.9Al-5.1Ti（wt%） were used as joining interlayer.Perfect joint was got. The microstructure evolution and formation mechanism of the SHS joint were investigated by scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, energy-dispersive spectroscopy（EDS） and X-ray diffraction（XRD）. Results show that localized melting occurs on both sides. One γ-Ni（0.35）Al（0.30）Ti（0.35） and two Ni-Al reaction layers form,respectively, in the TiAl/interlayer and Cf/Al/interlayer interfaces. The combustion of Ni-Al-Ti interlayer begins with the sharp reaction of Ni and Al. The interlayer product is a eutectic organization of NiAl and Al-rich γ.展开更多

It is the first time to report the joining of CFRTP to Cu by FLJ. As the joining speed increased, the tensile shear force （TSF） of joints increased first, and decreased thereafter. The maximum TSF could reach 2.3 kN （ 15 mm in width）. Hydrogen bonding formed between the amide group of CFRTP and the thin Cu20 layer on the Cu surface, which mainly contributed to the joint bonding. The influence factors of the TSF of the joints at different joining speeds were discussed. The TSF was mainly affected by the joining area, the degradation of the plastic matrix and the number and the size of bubbles. As the joining speed increased, the influence factors varied as follows： the joining area increased first and then decreased; the degra- dation of the plastic matrix and the number and the size of bubbles decreased. The maximum TSF was the comprehensive result of the relatively large joining area, small degradation of the plastic matrix and small number and sizes of bubbles.展开更多

The results showed that the microstructure at the interface between two coarse lamellar structures depends on the orientations of lamellae. And microcavities are found at such interfaces. After heat treatment at 1 250 ℃, the recrystallization structure widened. As to the interface between a coarse lamellar structure and a fine duplex structure, a new duplex structure formed within the original duplex structure at the interface and further widened after subsequent heat treatment at 1 250 ℃ for 4 h. Microcavities are rare at such interfaces, and the joining appears better than that between two coarse lamellar structures.展开更多

Microstructure of the joined section was investigated. The effects of interlayer and PLS on joining qualities were analysed. The results show that interface cracks are easily produced because of mismatch of both thermal expansion and/or sintering shrinkage between joined samples. With an optimized condition of joining layer composition and solid contents,a fine joint could be obtained without obvious cracks,pores and other defects. This process is suitable for joining of various kinds of advanced ceramics.展开更多

However, the transition timing for these two regions is different with the former being at the mid- or late 1980s and the latter occurring earlier, approximately at the early stage of the 1970s. The anomalous moisture source associated with the precipitation anomalies is different from the normal conditions of the summer precipitation. For the drought or flood years or the years of E1 Nifio and its following years, the anomalous moisture transport originating from the western North Pacific （WNP） is the vital source of the anomalous precipitation over eastern China, which is greatly related with the variation of the subtropical Pacific high.

文摘In this study, Cf/Al composites and TiAl alloys were joined by a new method named laser-ignited selfpropagating synthesis（SHS）. Mixed powders of 63.0Ni-31.9Al-5.1Ti（wt%） were used as joining interlayer.Perfect joint was got. The microstructure evolution and formation mechanism of the SHS joint were investigated by scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, energy-dispersive spectroscopy（EDS） and X-ray diffraction（XRD）. Results show that localized melting occurs on both sides. One γ-Ni（0.35）Al（0.30）Ti（0.35） and two Ni-Al reaction layers form,respectively, in the TiAl/interlayer and Cf/Al/interlayer interfaces. The combustion of Ni-Al-Ti interlayer begins with the sharp reaction of Ni and Al. The interlayer product is a eutectic organization of NiAl and Al-rich γ.
文摘Oxygen-flee copper （Cu） was successfully joined to carbon-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic （CFRTP, polyamide 6 with 20wt% carbon fiber addition） by friction lap joining （FLJ） at joining speeds of 200-1600 mm/min with a constant rotation rate of 1500 rpm and a nominal plunge depth of 0.9 ram. It is the first time to report the joining of CFRTP to Cu by FLJ. As the joining speed increased, the tensile shear force （TSF） of joints increased first, and decreased thereafter. The maximum TSF could reach 2.3 kN （ 15 mm in width）. Hydrogen bonding formed between the amide group of CFRTP and the thin Cu20 layer on the Cu surface, which mainly contributed to the joint bonding. The influence factors of the TSF of the joints at different joining speeds were discussed. The TSF was mainly affected by the joining area, the degradation of the plastic matrix and the number and the size of bubbles. As the joining speed increased, the influence factors varied as follows： the joining area increased first and then decreased; the degra- dation of the plastic matrix and the number and the size of bubbles decreased. The maximum TSF was the comprehensive result of the relatively large joining area, small degradation of the plastic matrix and small number and sizes of bubbles.

文摘The excellent properties of SiC bring new challenges for the device packaging.In this study,the bonding strength,fracture behaviors and microstructural evolution of micron-porous Ag joint were elevated during thermal cycling(–50 ℃–250 ℃) in SiC/DBC(direct bonding copper) die attachment structure for different time.During harsh thermal shock test,the strength of sintered joint deceased gradually with the increase of cycling number,and the value just was half of the value of as-sintered after 1 000 cycles.Coarsening of Ag grains was observed in micron-porous joint with the structure inhomogeneity and defects increasing,which were the reasons of the strength decease.In addition,it was also found that the fracture behavior of sintered joints was changed from ductile deformation of Ag grain to brittle fracture of crack propagation after 1 000 cycles.This study will add the understanding in the mechanical properties of Ag sinter joining and its applications at high temperature.
文摘By hot pressing in an inert atmosphere, the joining interface between coarse lamellar structures and that between a coarse lamellar structure and a fine duplex structure of a Ti 33Al 3Cr(%, mass fraction) alloy, and the effect of heat treatment on the microstructure at the interfaces have been studied. The results showed that the microstructure at the interface between two coarse lamellar structures depends on the orientations of lamellae. And microcavities are found at such interfaces. After heat treatment at 1 250 ℃, the recrystallization structure widened. As to the interface between a coarse lamellar structure and a fine duplex structure, a new duplex structure formed within the original duplex structure at the interface and further widened after subsequent heat treatment at 1 250 ℃ for 4 h. Microcavities are rare at such interfaces, and the joining appears better than that between two coarse lamellar structures.

文摘Electricity is an efficient form of energy,and the growing interest in electricity-assisted manufacturing is motivated by its inherent energy saving and reduced environmental impact.Beyond this,Electromagnetic Processing of Materials(EPM)allows the fabrication of materials with new compositions,metastable phases and nanograined microstructures that cannot be obtained using conventional heating processes using furnaces.This review covers EPM for the manufacture of ceramic and metal bulk components,with a specific focus on the effects of electric fields and electromagnetic radiations on processing in a wide spectrum of frequencies ranging from DC(f=0 Hz)to visible light(f=10^(14)–10^(15)Hz).The manuscript is divided into two parts.The first part provides a comprehensive overview of the interactions between matter and electric field/current,including heating phenomena(resistive Joule,induction,dielectric heating,electric arcs)and athermal effects(electromigration,electroplasticity,electrochemical reactions,ponderomotive force and others).The second part is focused on the technological application of the techniques,covering heat treatments,joining,sintering and forming.Seven distinct physical phenomena are involved in EPM:resistive Joule and induction heating,electrochemical reactions,electroplasticity,electric arcs and electromagnetic heating based on radio and microwave frequencies(mainly used for heating dielectric materials;i.e.,dielectric heating)or on the IR/visible light(IR heating and lasers).
文摘Joining of ZrO_2 (containing 8% (mol fraction) Y_2O_3,as the composition used in oxygen sensors) to 95Al_2O_3 (widely used at elevated temperature) in green state was described using polymer/layered silicate (PLS) nanocomposites contained slurry,without applied pressure. Microstructure of the joined section was investigated. The effects of interlayer and PLS on joining qualities were analysed. The results show that interface cracks are easily produced because of mismatch of both thermal expansion and/or sintering shrinkage between joined samples. With an optimized condition of joining layer composition and solid contents,a fine joint could be obtained without obvious cracks,pores and other defects. This process is suitable for joining of various kinds of advanced ceramics.
文摘A method to reach the globular weld structure of A356 aluminum alloy using stirring the localized semisolid zone during butt-joining is developed.Since the heat conductivity of this alloy is very high, the accurate controlling of temperature during joining must be considered.A gas heating system was used to heat up the nitrogen gas up to the required temperature.A dried and free oxygen gas was prepared when a stream of nitrogen gas could pass closely around a hot element.Hot and pure nitrogen gas flow through a precise ceramic nozzle was used to create a localized semisolid pool.At this stage a fine stirrer was introduced into the weld seam in order to mix the two sides into a single uniform joint.Substrates were moved in direction of joint line by a small trolley to avoid the deviation of nozzle from the joint line and its distance and angle from the substrate.A fixture system was used to hold two substrates together on the trolley.A narrow hot plate was located on the trolley to heat up the joint line due to high heat conductivity of aluminum.Effect of gas temperature was investigated on the microstructure and mechanical properties of weld seam.Results showed that increase in temperature promoted the final welding properties, and also at liquid fractions less than 50% joining was not fully practical.The best mechanical properties were achieved with liquid fraction of about 70%.

文摘AA5454-O aluminum alloy plates with the thicknesses of 1.4 and 1.0 mm were friction-spot-joined (FSJed).The plunge speed of the joining tool was changed in a range of 100 500 mm/min under a constant rotation speed of 500 r/min.The plunge depth was ranged from 1.6 mm to 2.2 mm.The tool plunge speed did not make a remarkable effect on the surface appearance and macro-structure of the FSJed zone.The average hardness of the FSJed zone was greater than or equal to that of the base metal.However,there was no remarkable tendency in the average hardness change of the FSJed zone in spite of the variation in the tool plunge speed and tool plunge depth.The increase of the tool plunge depth resulted in the increase of the tensile shear load.However,the change of the tool plunge speed did not lead to the remarkable variation in the tensile shear load of the FSJed plates.It was noteworthy that the FSJed plate exhibited the highest tensile shear load of about 4.0 kN.
