The effect of impact velocity on EC behavior of 17 4PH steels at different aging temperatures was analyzed. Surface micrographs of the specimens after E C test were observed by using scanning electron microscope （SEM）. The results showed that under the condition of the same solution heat treatment, when aging temperature ranged from 400 ℃ to 610℃, the hardness reached the highest value near the temperature 460℃. The characteristics of E-C for 17-4PH stainless steels at different aging temperatures were as follows： pure erosion （wear） was dominant, corrosion was subordinate and at the same time corrosion promoted erosion. The effect of aging temperature on E-C rate of 17-4PH steels was not significant at low impact velocity, but it was found that E-C resistance of 17-4PH steels aged near 460℃ was the most excellent due to the best precipitation strengthening effect of fine and dispersed e-Cu phase. With a prerequisite of appropriate corrosion resistance, the precipitation hardening could significantly improve the E-C resistance of the materials.展开更多

However, some fundamental physics behind the brilliant emission remains highly controversial. One of the important facts in addressing the flare energetics is the spatio-temporal correlation between the WL emission and the hard X-ray （HXR） radiation, presumably suggesting that energetic electrons are the energy sources. In this study, we present a statistical analysis of 25 strong flares （〉M5） observed simultaneously by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager （HMI）, on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory （SDO）, and the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic lmager （RHESS1）. Among these events, WL emission was detected by SDO/HMI in 13 flares, associated with HXR emission. To quantitatively describe the strength of WL emission, equivalent area （EA） is defined as the integrated contrast enhancement over the entire flaring area. Our results show that the EA is inversely proportional to the HXR power-law index, indicating that stronger WL emission tends to be associated with a larger population of high energy electrons. However, no obvious correlation is found between WL emission and flux of non-thermal electrons at 50 keV. For the other group of 13 flares without detectable WL emission, the HXR spectra are softer （larger power-law index） than those flares with WL emission, especially for the X-class flares in this group.展开更多

However, the fre- quency up-conversion efficiency is limited to a small number in a single stage setup. In this paper, we propose a new scheme to produce coherent hard X-ray FEL with two- beam based two-stage echo-enabled harmonic generation configuration. Electron beams with quite different proper- ties are separately used in each stage and a monochromator is adopted to purify the radiation from first stage for seeding the second stage. Three-dimensional start-to-end simulations have been performed with realistic parameters to show the feasibility of the proposed scheme.展开更多

We apply this method to the 54 hard X-ray events observed with BATSE/Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO). The results show that about 75% of the observed broken double power-law spectra of hard X-rays can be explained by a lower energy cutoff in the power-law electron beams. The values of Ec, varying among the flares, are all greater than the usually accepted 20 keV! On average, E~ is about 69 keV. So high a lower energy cutoff of nonthermal electrons implies that nonthermal electrons might not be as important in powering solar flares as was previously thought. Further significance of this finding is discussed.展开更多

In addition,the hardness variation induced by the annealing treatment is rationalized based on revealed microstructural and texturalcharacteristics. Results show that the TC4 sheet presents a typical dual-phase （α＋β） microstructure, with α-Ti as themajor phase and short-rod-shaped β-Ti （minority） uniformly distributed throughout the α matrix. Most of α grains cor-respond to the un-recrystallized structures with a typical rolling texture （c//TD and 〈11-20〉//ND） and dense low angleboundaries （LABs）. After the annealing, the stored energy in the as-received specimen is significantly reduced, along withgreatly decreased LABs density. Also, the annealing allows recrystallization and grain growth to occur, leading toweakening of the initial texture. Furthermore, the water quenching immediately after the annealing triggers martensitictransformation, which makes the high-temperature β phases be transformed into submicron α plates. The hardness of theannealed specimen is 320.5 HV, lower than that （367.0 HV） of the as-received specimen, which could be attributed toreduced LABs, grain growth and weakened texture. Nevertheless, the hardening effect from the fine martensitic platescould help to suppress a drastic hardness drop.展开更多
