The model parameters of the investigated powder Distaloy AE were determined as functions of relative density through typical mechanical property tests of powder. The model was implemented as a user subroutine USDFLD. Single sided compaction of a d20 ram^5 mm disk green compact of Distaloy AE was simulated, and the residual stress of the disk after ejection was predicted with FEA. The FEA results of the compaction process and the residual stress of the disk show good agreement with compaction experiments and X-ray diffraction measurements, which validates the model and its parameters. The results indicate that the compressive residual stresses exist mainly in a thin layer on the side surface, but the residual stresses are very small on the top and bottom surfaces.展开更多

The TRS on the surface of polycrystalline diamond(PCD) table was obtained,which can be used to calculate the radial thermal residual stress(RTRS) at the interface of PCD table via a refutation process.The obtained results show that there are compressive residual stress at the PCD table interface and in the most region of PCD table surface.The exception occurs near the outer diameter of the PCD table,where the PDC begins to bend and put the PCD table surface into a tension state,an undesirable state for a brittle material.The ISRM has covered the shortage existing in traditional stress-release method,in which only finite points on the surface of PCD table can be tested for one specimen and one time.Simple as the experimental procedures are,the test results are also very accurate and reliable.This method provides the theoretical and experimental basis for testing TRS of PDC accurately.展开更多

The associated hydrothermal treatment and the effect on the apatite formation were studied. The results suggested that TiO was generated under the condition of low vacuum （1 ×10^-2 Pa） during the process of burning out the spacer-holding particles. After hydrothermal treatment, a sub-microscale porous layer was formed at the pore wall surface of the samples. The apatite-inducing ability of hydrothermal treated porous sintered Ti-Ag compacts with different Ag content was evaluated in modified simulated body fluid （SBF）. And the results proved that there is a clear correlation between the apatite-inducing ability and Ag content. The higher Ag content in porous leads to the decrease of Na＋ ions and basic hydroxyl （OH）b amount, resulting in the decline of apatite-inducing ability in the first stage. However, their apatite-inducing ability was not significantly different from that of Ti after two weeks SBF immersing. Hence, the ionic activity should restore with the processing of SBF soaking, as the saturation of Ag effect.展开更多
Aluminium-alumina compacts with varying wt% of alumina were compacted in the pressure range of 115 - 290 MPa.

Compacts prepared at 290 MPa pressure, were sintered in an argon atmosphere at 573, 673, 773 and 873 K for 1 hour. The green density, % porosity, % spring back and hardness of the green compacts were determined. Scanning Electron Microscopy was carried out to observe the morphology of pores and alumina particles in green and sintered compacts. The present study indicates that, densification of the compact increases with increasing compacting pressure and decreases with increasing alumina content. Maximum density achieved is 93% for pure aluminium compacts and decreases to 85% for Al-20 wt% alumina compacts. Grain growth of aluminium particles is noticed in the compacts after sintering at 773 and 873 K. Dispersion of fine alumina particle in the aluminium matrix occurs predominantly in the compact when sintered at 773 K which results in increase in hardness value.展开更多

A comparison between the requirements of flowability and moldability and the compacts shape retention has been made in this work. There is often a contradiction between the requirements of flowability and the compacts shape retention. Many works have been done to attain good molding conditions. However, they fail to take into account the effect of some factors that satisfies good molding conditions on the compacts shape retention during debinding. This paper studies the effect of the powder-binder mixture characteristics and the molding conditions on the flowability and moldability and the shape retention of PIM compacts during debinding process so as to attain the benefits of each.展开更多

Several factors which influence the properties of grinding wheel such as amount of vitrified bond and the kinds and amount of stuff in grinding wheel were also investigated. It was found that the new vitrified bond can firmly combine diamond grains, when there are only diamonds and vitrified bond in the structure of grinding wheel, the longevity of the grinding wheel is about 2.5-3 times as that of resin bond grinding wheel for processing PDCs. The grinding size precision of PDCs can be improved from 4-0.03 mm to 4-0.01 mm because of larger Young＇s modulus of vitrified bond than resin bond. The grinding time of a PDC product can be 1.75-2.0 min from 3.25-3.5 min, so this kind of grinding wheel can save much time for processing PDCs. Also, there is hardly noise when using this new vitrified bond diamond grinding wheel to process PDCs. The amount of vitrified bond in grinding wheel influences the longevity of grinding wheel. When the size of diamond grains is 90-107 μm, the optimal amount of vitrified bond in grinding wheel is 21% （wt pct）. When the amount of vitrified bond exceeds 21%, there are many pores in grinding block, which will decrease the longevity of grinding wheel. The existence of addition stuff such as Al2O3 or SiC can reduce the longevity of grinding wheel.展开更多

The experimental results show that the H / D ratio and the rotary forging force are major factors affecting the density of the sintered powder compacts in the rotary forging process. The effect of the H / D ratio and the rotary forging force on the density were discovered. By determining both the density and the hardness of compacts, it was found that the density distributions show no difference from the hardness distributions and that the gradients of the density and the hardness in the axial direction are larger than those in the radial direction.展开更多

文摘We present a compact cold atom platform where an optical grating chip and planar coil chip are placed inside a compact vacuum chamber to create a magneto-optical trap.This approach significantly reduces the system volume to about 20×20×20 cm^(3) compared to conventional vacuum systems and offers greater flexibility in accessing the trapped atoms.We demonstrate the trapping of 3×10^(5) cold rubidium atoms at a temperature of 100μK in a vacuum pressure below 10^(−7) mbar.The simplified optical geometry,low power consumption,and high degree of integration make this a promising platform for portable and versatile cold-atom devices in quantum sensing,timing,and information processing.

文摘As organic thin film transistors(OTFTs)are set to play a crucial role in flexible and cost-effective electronic applica-tions,this paper investigates a high-mobility 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)pentacene(TIPS-pentacene)OTFT for use in flexi-ble electronics.The development of such high-mobility devices necessitates precise device modeling to support technology opti-misation and circuit design.The details of numerical simulation technique is discussed,in which,the electrical behavior of the device is well captured by fine tuning basic semiconductor equations.This technology computer-aided design(TCAD)has been validated with exprimental data.In addition,we have discussed about compact model fitting of the devices as well as parameter extraction procedure employed.This includes verification of Silvaco ATLAS finite element method(FEM)based results against experimental data gained from fabricated OTFT devices.Simulations for p-type TFT-based inverter are also per-formed to assess the performance of compact model in simple circuit simulation.
