Eutectic-reaction brazing of Al_(0.3)CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloys using Ni/Nb/Ni interlayers

In this study,a novel eutectic-reaction brazing of Al_(0.3)CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloys(HEAs)^(1)was investigated with a design of laminated Ni/Nb/Ni interlayers.The typical Al_(0.3)CoCrFeNi brazing seam consisted of proeutecticγ,the lamellar eutectic structure composed of face-centered cubic(FCC)phase(eutecticγ)and C14 Laves,as well as a few amounts of Nb based solid solution.A high density of nanoscale ordered L1_(2)(γ)phase was precipitated withinγphase matrix.With the brazing temperature raised from 1200 to 1320℃,the dissolution volume of Al_(0.3)CoCrFeNi alloy into Ni-Nb liquid was increased.The microstructure of the brazing seam changed from hypereutectic(blocky Laves+γphase)to eutectic(Laves+eutecticγ)to hypoeutectic structures(proeutecticγ+Laves/γeutectic structure).The shear strength of joints was increased gradually due to the formation of eutectic lamellae and the cellular growth of proeutecticγphase.The maximum shear strength of the joint brazed at 1320℃for 10 min was up to 592 MPa,reaching 95%of the base metal.The joint mainly ruptured in the soft proeutecticγphase in a ductile fracture mode.

Enhanced Heat Transfer with Full Circumferential Ribs in Helical Pipe

This paper describes an experimental study of heat transfers in the smooth-walled and rib-roughened helical pipes with reference to the design of enhanced cooling passages in the cylinder head and liner of a marine propulsive diesel engine. The manner in which the repeated ribs modify the forced heat convection in the helical pipe is considered for the case where the flow is turbulent upon entering the coil but laminar in further downstream. A selection of experimental results illustrates the individual and interactive effects of Dean vortices and rib-flows on heat transfer along the inner and outer helixes of coils. The experimental-based observations reveal that the centrifugal force modifies the heat transfer in a manner to generate circumferential heat transfer variation with better cooling performance on the outer edge relative to its inner counterpart even with the agitated flow field caused by the repeated ribs. Heat transfer augmentation factor in the range of 1.3 ~ 3 times of the smooth-walled
