Effect of various processing parameters on the mechanical properties of the steel was investigated. The results showed that the mechanical properties of the low carbon cold heading steel could be significantly improved by TMCP without heat treatment. The improvement of mechanical properties can be attributed mainly to the ferrite grain refinement due to low temperature rolling. In the experiments the better ultimate tensile strength and ductility are obtained by lowering finishing cooling temperature within the temperature range from 650 ℃ to 550 ℃ since the interlamellar space in pearlite colonies become smaller. Good mechanical properties can be obtained in a proper austenite condition and thermomechanical processing parameter. The ferrite morphology has a more pronounced effect on the mechanical behavior than refinement of the microstructure. It is possible to realize the replacement of medium-carbon by low-carbon for 490 MPa grade cold heading steel with TMCP.展开更多

For the problem of inaccurate prediction due to the large variation range of oxygen absorption rate under different process conditions, we statistically analyzed the main factors affecting the oxygen absorption rate. The backpropagation neural network was used to train and predict the oxygen absorption rate and was used to calculate the RH decarburization reaction zone model. We designed and developed a mathematical modeling software with process control of decarburization in RH degasser, which can realize the change of operating process parameters in the dynamic prediction process. The optimized mathematical model has more than 95% of the furnaces whose absolute error in calculation of carbon content is within ± 5 × 10^(−6), more than 90% of the heats whose relative error in calculation of oxygen content is within ± 15%, and the average absolute error of calculation of oxygen content is 26.4 × 10^(−6). Finally, we studied the influence of oxygen blowing timing, oxygen blowing volume and initial oxygen content on the forced decarburization process.展开更多

When new engineered yeast strains are constructed and are ready to use tot industrial protein production, process control and optimization techniques should be applied to improve the fermentation performance in the following aspects: (1) increase recombinant cell concentrations in fermentor to high density during growth phase; (2) effectively induce heterologous proteins by enhancing/stabilizing titers or concentrations of the proteins during induction phase; (3) decrease operation costs by relieving the working loads of heat-exchange and oxygen supply. This article reviews and discusses the key and commonly used techniques in heterologous protein production by P. pastoris, with the focus on optimizations of fermentation media and basic operation conditions, development of optimal glycerol feeding strategies for achieving high density cultivation of P. pastoris and effective heterologous protein induction methods by regulating specific growth rate, methanol concentration, temperatures, mixture ratio of multi-carbon substrates, etc. Metabolic analysis for recombinant protein production by P. pastoris is also introduced to interpret the mechanism of sub-optimal heterologous protein production and to explore further optimal expression methods.展开更多

With the strategy,the process achieves its steady state quickly,so more profit can be obtained.The proposed strategy has been successfully applied to a gas separation plant for more than three years,which shows that the strategy is feasible and effective.展开更多

This will result in great challenges to manufacturing systems in all sectors. In the future of manufacturing, all devices and systems should have sensing and basic intelligence capabilities for control and adaptation. In this study, after discussing multiscale dynamics of the modern manufacturing system, a five-layer functional structure is proposed for uncertainties processing. Multiscale dynamics include: multi-time scale, spacetime scale, and multi-level dynamics. Control action will differ at different scales, with more design being required at both fast and slow time scales. More quantitative action is required in low-level operations, while more qualitative action is needed regarding high-level supervision. Intelligent manufacturing systems should have the capabilities of flexibility, adaptability, and intelligence. These capabilities will require the control action to be distributed and integrated with different approaches, including smart sensing, optimal design, and intelligent learning. Finally, a typical jet dispensing system is taken as a real-world example for multiscale modeling and control.展开更多

文摘In early 2018,the Boliden Garpenberg operation implemented an optimized control strategy as an addition to the existing ventilation on demand system.The purpose of the strategy is to further minimize energy use for main and booster fans,whilst also fulfilling airflow setpoints without violating constraints such as min/max differential pressure over fans and interaction of air between areas in mines.Using air flow measurements and a dynamical model of the ventilation system,a mine-wide coordination control of fans can be carried out.The numerical model is data driven and derived from historical operational data or step changes experiments.This makes both initial deployment and lifetime model maintenance,as the mine evolves,a comparably easy operation.The control has been proven to operate in a stable manner over long periods without having to re-calibrate the model.Results prove a 40%decrease in energy use for the fans involved and a greater controllability of air flow.Moreover,a 15%decrease of the total air flow into the mine will give additional proportional heating savings during winter periods.All in all,the multivariable controller shows a correlation between production in the mine and the ventilation system performance superior to all of its predecessors.

文摘In electronics packaging the time-pressure dispensing system is widely usedto squeeze the adhesive fluid in a syringe onto boards or substrates with the pressurized air.However, complexity of the process, which includes the air-fluid coupling and the nonlinearuncertainties, makes it difficult to have a consistent process performance. An integrated dispensingprocess model is first introduced and then its input-output regression relationship is used todesign a run to run control methodology for this process. The controller takes EWMA scheme and itsstability region is given. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed run to runcontrol method for dispensing process.

文摘High strength low alloy(HSLA) steels have been widely used in pipelines,power plant components,civil structures and so on,due to their outstanding mechanical properties as high strength and toughness,and excellent weldability.Multi-phase microstructures containing acicular ferrite or acicular ferrite dominated phase have been proved to possess good comprehensive properties in HSLA steels.This paper mainly focuses on the formation mechanisms and control methods of acicular ferrite in HSLA steels.Effect of austenitizing conditions,continuous cooling rate,and isothermal quenching time and temperature on acicular ferrite transformation was reviewed.Furthermore,the modified process to control the formation of multi-phase microstructures containing acicular ferrite,as intercritical heat treatments,step quenching treatments and thermo-mechanical controlled processing,was summarized.The favorable combination of mechanical properties can be achieved by these modified treatments.

文摘Profile monitoring is used to check the stability of the quality of a product over time when the product quality is best represented by a function at each time point.However,most previous monitoring approaches have not considered that the argument values may vary from profile to profile,which is common in practice.A novel nonparametric control scheme based on profile error is proposed for monitoring nonlinear profiles with varied argument values.The proposed scheme uses the metrics of profile error as the statistics to construct the control charts.More details about the design of this nonparametric scheme are also discussed.The monitoring performance of the combined control scheme is compared with that of alternative nonparametric methods via simulation.Simulation studies show that the combined scheme is effective in detecting parameter error and is sensitive to small shifts in the process.In addition,due to the properties of the charting statistics,the out-of-control signal can provide diagnostic information for the users.Finally,the implementation steps of the proposed monitoring scheme are given and applied for monitoring the blade manufacturing process.With the application in blade manufacturing of aircraft engines,the proposed nonparametric control scheme is effective,interpretable,and easy to apply.

文摘Different amounts of absolute ethanol(0-50 mL)are used as process control agents(PCA)to prepare FeCoNiAlCr0.9 high entropy alloy(HEA)powders via 90 h ball milling.The results show that the increased amount of PCA plays an active role in the crystallinity of powders,and regulate the thickness and size distribution of flake particles.As the volume of PCA increases,the real and imaginary parts(ε′andε″)of complex permittivity get increased by the enhancement of the interface polarization and surface polarization,while the increase in the real and imaginary parts(μ′andμ″)of complex permeability arises from the increased anisotropic energy.The addition of PCA not only promotes the reflection loss but also extends the effective bandwidth(up to 4.28 GHz).Here,the performance adjustment of HEA electromagnetic absorber is realized by forthrightly changing the process parameters of ball milling.
