The microstructure and basic mechanical properties of designed alloy were investigated. The results show that the alloy is composed of single fl equiaxed grains after solution treatment at 800 ~C. Compared with Ti-6A1-4V, the mechanical properties of the designed alloy are more excellent： E=65 GPa, σb=834 MPa, σ0.2=802 MPa, and σ=11%, which is expected to become a promising new type implanted material. The research approach adopted can reduce the experimental time and cost effectively, and get the ideal experimental results.展开更多

This approach is based onthe electronic structure calculations by the DV-Xα cluster method. In this paper recent progress in this approachis reviewed. In particular, it is stressed that New PHACOMP approach is useful for predicting the formation oftopologically close-packed (TCP) phases (e.g., σ phase andμ phase ) in nickel based superalloys. Compared to thecurrent PHACOMP, New PHACOMP provides a better tool for designing those alloys which are free from such TCPprecipitates at service temperatures.

The effects of the welding parameters, namely the tool rotational speed, welding speed, axial load and pin profile, on the ultimate tensile strength and the tensile elongation were analyzed using a three-level, four-factor Box-Behnken experimental design. The developed design was utilized to train the ANFIS models. The predictive capabilities of RSM and ANFIS were compared based on the root mean square error, the mean absolute error, and the correlation coefficient based on the obtained data set. The results demonstrate that the developed ANFIS models are more effective than the RSM model.展开更多
