The effects of bonding temperature(1130–1170 °C) and time(5–120 min) as well as foil thickness(35–140 μm) were studied on the microstructure of joint region and its mechanical properties. The solidification sequence in the joint region was found to be(i) formation of γ solid solution in the isothermally solidified zone, followed by(ii) ternary eutectic of γ + Ni3 B + Cr B, and finally(iii) binary eutectic of γ + Ni3 Si in the athermally solidified zone. Fine Ni3 Si particles were also formed via a solid state transformation within the γ matrix in the vicinity of eutectic products. A deviation of isothermal solidification kinetics from the standard parabolic TLP model was observed by increasing the bonding temperature to 1170 °C, which resulted in the formation of eutectic constituents at the joint centerline.The analysis of mechanical and fractographic test results revealed that the samples with complete isothermal solidification exhibit the highest shear strength, whereas the hard eutectic constituents act as preferential failure sites and lead to a significant reduction in the joint shear strength in samples with incomplete isothermal solidification.展开更多

Statistical methods can be used to remove the systematic error based on historical bias data at observation stations. However, many end users of weather forecasts need bias corrected forecasts at locations that scarcely have any historical bias data. To circumvent this limitation, the bias of surface temperature forecasts on a regular grid covering Iran is removed, by using the information available at observation stations in the vicinity of any given grid point. To this end, the running mean error method is first used to correct the forecasts at observation stations, then four interpolation methods including inverse distance squared weighting with constant lapse rate(IDSW-CLR), Kriging with constant lapse rate(Kriging-CLR), gradient inverse distance squared with linear lapse rate(GIDS-LR), and gradient inverse distance squared with lapse rate determined by classification and regression tree(GIDS-CART), are employed to interpolate the bias corrected forecasts at neighboring observation stations to any given location. The results show that all four interpolation methods used do reduce the model error significantly,but Kriging-CLR has better performance than the other methods. For Kriging-CLR, root mean square error(RMSE)and mean absolute error(MAE) were decreased by 26% and 29%, respectively, as compared to the raw forecasts. It is found also, that after applying any of the proposed methods, unlike the raw forecasts, the bias corrected forecasts do not show spatial or temporal dependency.展开更多

文摘Transient liquid phase(TLP) bonding of IN738 LC superalloy was carried out using a rapidly solidified MBF-15 Ni-based foil. The effects of bonding temperature(1130–1170 °C) and time(5–120 min) as well as foil thickness(35–140 μm) were studied on the microstructure of joint region and its mechanical properties. The solidification sequence in the joint region was found to be(i) formation of γ solid solution in the isothermally solidified zone, followed by(ii) ternary eutectic of γ + Ni3 B + Cr B, and finally(iii) binary eutectic of γ + Ni3 Si in the athermally solidified zone. Fine Ni3 Si particles were also formed via a solid state transformation within the γ matrix in the vicinity of eutectic products. A deviation of isothermal solidification kinetics from the standard parabolic TLP model was observed by increasing the bonding temperature to 1170 °C, which resulted in the formation of eutectic constituents at the joint centerline.The analysis of mechanical and fractographic test results revealed that the samples with complete isothermal solidification exhibit the highest shear strength, whereas the hard eutectic constituents act as preferential failure sites and lead to a significant reduction in the joint shear strength in samples with incomplete isothermal solidification.
