Microstructure and forming mechanism of metals subjected to ultrasonic vibration plastic forming: A mini review

Compared with traditional plastic forming,ultrasonic vibration plastic forming has the advantages of reducing the forming force and improving the surface quality of the workpiece.This technology has a very broad application prospect in industrial manufactur-ing.Researchers have conducted extensive research on the ultrasonic vibration plastic forming of metals and laid a deep foundation for the development of this field.In this review,metals were classified according to their crystal structures.The effects of ultrasonic vibration on the microstructure of face-centered cubic,body-centered cubic,and hexagonal close-packed metals during plastic forming and the mech-anism underlying ultrasonic vibration forming were reviewed.The main challenges and future research direction of the ultrasonic vibra-tion plastic forming of metals were also discussed.

Temporal-spatial distribution and ore-forming material source of gold,copper and silver polymetallic ore deposits in the Fuping mantle structure zone

This study was conducted following research on metallogenesis in the Zhangjiajie-Xuanhua and East Hebei mantle branch structure zones. The Fuping mantle branch structure zone is one where Au, Cu and Ag poly-metallic ore resources are concentrated in North Hebei. However, there has existed a long-standing controversy on the temporal-spatial distribution of ore resources and their ore-forming material sources. In terms of age dating and the comprehensive analysis of S, Pb, O, C and Si isotopes, it is considered that the temporal-spatial distribution of ore resources in this mantle branch structure zone is obviously controlled by the Fuping mantle branch structure. In space there is developed such a metallogenic pattern as to be Ag, Pb and Zn polymetallic ore deposits with gold appearing inside and copper appearing outside. Metallogenesis is dated mainly at Yanshanian, the ore-forming materials were derived predominantly from the deep interior of the Earth, and ore-forming fluids were derived largely from Yanshanian magmatism.

“Giant pressure shadow” structure and ore-finding method of tectonic stress field in the Tongchang Cu-Au polymetallic orefield,Shaanxi,China:Ⅱ.Dynamics of tectonic ore-forming processes and prognosis of concealed ores

The Tongchang orefield is located in the central part of the Mianxian-Lueyang-Yangpingguan area that is celebrated as a 'gold triangle' area,at the juncture of the latitudinal tectonic zone of South Qinling,the Longmenshan Cathysian tectonic zone and the Sichuan-Yunnan longitudinal tectonic zone,where there are distributed Cu-Au polymetallic ore deposits(occurrences) including the Tongchang,Chenjiaba,Qinjiabian,Hongtushi,Yinshangou and Xiakouyi ore deposits(mineralization).Based on the "giant pressure shadow" structure put forward and demonstrated by numerical modeling of the tectonic stress field and the static photoelasticity experiments on the basis of tectonic ore-controlling laws in the orefield,tectonic metallogenesis driven by orefield tectonic stress has been discussed in terms of its geological setting,orefield geomechanics,and tectonic stress field.It is thought that the dynamic evolution model of the tectonic stress field controls the whole process of formation of the polymetallic ore deposits(mineralization) in the orefield,as well as the deformation field.As a result,it controls the emplacement of rockbodies and the transformation of ore-source bodies,and provides both the channel-ways for ore-forming fluids and ore-hosting space.Furthermore,it controls the migration potential field of fluids and,thereafter,its flow direction,rate and volume;the tectonic stress field also controls the energy field and hence controls the position of occurrence of ore deposits and their scale.The method of tectonic stress field has been applied to ore prognosis in the orefield.The rules of magmatic emplacement and metallogenic fluid migrating and concentrating under the control of the structural stress field were expounded,hence providing the theoretical basis for the prognosis of concealed ores.In addition,a number of important target areas have been defined.

SEDIMENTARY MACRO-STRUCTURES AND FORMING MECHANISM OF DEBRIS FLOW

The discussion on sedimentary macro-structures and their forming mechanics of debris flow is based on thedata of present processes and ancient deposits of Dongchuan in Yunnan Province, Wudu in Gansu Province and Fuxin inLiaoning Province. Non-cohesive debris flow, which is 1. 3 -1. 7 t/m3 in density, follows hydraulic fluid and flow model. In the hydraulic fluid of flood, electrolytic water combines clay into pulp to transport solid debris. The sedimentary structures show fluid processes as stone-line structure, imbricated structure and stone supporting-sustructure. A part of non-cohesive debris flow with a density of 1. 7 -1. 9t/m3 follows granular model. Debris is in the action of friction, collision and dispersion which forces as debris moving upward to form reverse graded load. The sedimentary structures of granular flow show reverse graded bedding, reverse-normal graded bedding, imbricated verticalstructure and circling linear structure.Cohesive debris flow, which is 1. 9 - 2. 3 t/m3 in density, follows structural two phase flow (viscoplastic) model. The sedimentary structures of cohesive debris flow show reverse graded-chaotic structure,bottom mud-chaotic structure and outwedging structure.

Structure, Antibacterial Activity and Theoretical Study of the Forming Mechanism of Compound [(5-Methyl-3-oxo-2-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-thiophen-2-yl-methylene] Thiosemicarbazide

A new thiosemicarbazone compound derived from 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-（2-thenoyl） pyrazolone-5 （HPMTP） and thiosemicarbazide has been synthesized and characterized by IR, H- NMR, MS, elemental analysis, UV and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in monoclinic system, Cc space group with a = 7.5925（8）, b = 20.263（2）, c = 11.4669（13） A, r= 107.825（8）°, V = 1679.5（3） A3, Z = 4, R = 0.0316 and wR = 0.0687. The results of antibacterial activity test against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis indicate that the compound possesses the same antibacterial activity as the contrast （Norfloxacin）. Theoretical study of the forming mechanism to the title compound at the RHF/6-31G（d） level shows that there are two steps. The distal amino group of thiosemicarbazide is added to the 4-carbonyl group of HPMTP which forms TM. Then a dehydration reaction occurs in TM and generates a stable product PC.

Superplastic Forming and Diffusion Bonding for Sandwich Structure of Ti-6Al-4V Alloy

Superplastic forming and diffusion bonding (SPF/DB) is a well-established process for the manufacture of components almost exclusively from Ti-6AI-4V sheet material. The sandwich structure of Ti-6AI-4V alloy is investigated. The effects of the microstructure on the SPF/DB process were discussed. The microstructure at the interfaces and the distribution of thickness were researched.

STRUCTURE AND GLASS FORMING ABILITY(GFA)OF AMORPHOUS ALLOYS

A new microstructure model is developed for amorphous alloys,so called Cluster medel, in which the amorphous phase is thought of composing of randomly distributed ordered clusters of different sizes.Thermodynamic calculation on this model deduces a parameter describing the glass forming ability of metallic alloys:α_c=(1-2.08/Φ_m)T_g/T_m,where T_g is gass transition temperature,T_m is the melting temperature,and Φ_m is entralpy change of melting.It is believed that easy glass forming alloy systems have larger values of a_c.This new criterion of GFA not only provides the theoretical background for several GFA criteria in the literature cited,but also can predict the GFA of many alloy systems more reasonably and accurately.

Structure and properties of forming adsorbents prepared from different particle sizes of coal fly ash

In this paper, different particle sizes of coal fly ash FA-R(D50= 15.75 μm), FA-A(D50= 3.61 μm) and FA-B(D50= 1.73 μm) were treated with Na OH solution to prepare the forming adsorbents FFA-R, FFA-A and FFA-B.The structure and adsorption properties of the forming adsorbents for methylene blue(MB) from aqueous solution were examined. The results showed that the specific surface areas and adsorption capacities of the forming adsorbent for MB increased with decreasing particle size of raw coal fly ashes. The adsorption kinetic data of MB on FFA-R, FFA-A and FFA-B fitted the second-order kinetic model very well with the rate constants(k2) of3.15 × 10-2, 3.84 × 10-2and 6.27 × 10-2g·mg-1·min-1, respectively. The adsorption process was not only controlled by intra-particle diffusion. The isotherms of MB on FFA-R, FFA-A and FFA-B can be described by the Langmuir isotherm and the Freundlich isotherm, and the adsorption processes were spontaneous and exothermic.

Forming-Precision-Driven Structure Design of Hydraulic Press: Methodology and Case Study

The structure stiffness of presses has great effects on the forming precision of workpieces, especially in near-net or net shape forming. Conventionally the stiffness specification of presses is empirically determined, resulting in poor designs with insufficient or over sufficient stiffness of press structures. In this paper, an approach for the structure design of hydraulic presses is proposed, which is forming-precision-driven and can make presses costeffective by lightweight optimization. The approach consists of five steps:(1)the determination of the press stiffness specification in terms of the forming precision requirement of workpieces;(2)the conceptual design of the press structures according to the stiffness and workspace specifications, and the structure configuration of the press;(3)the prototype design of the press structures by equivalently converting the conceptual design to prototypes;(4)the selection of key structure parameters by sensitivity analysis of the prototype design; and(5)the optimization of the prototype design. The approach is demonstrated and validated through a case study of the structure design of a 100 MN hydraulic press.

The quadratic-form identity for constructing Hamiltonian structures of the Guo hierarchy

The trace identity is extended to the quadratic-form identity. The Hamiltonian structures of the multi-component Guo hierarchy, integrable coupling of Guo hierarchy and （2＋l）-dimensional Guo hierarchy are obtained by the quadraticform identity. The method can be used to produce the Hamiltonian structures of the other integrable couplings or multi-component hierarchies.

A FORM FUNCTION METHOD FOR FORM FINDING OF TENSION STRUCTURE

A new form function involving parameters Pi is presented. On the basis of the form function, an initial form of tension structure was Sound by interpolating through the control points on boundary of the structure. The form function can be controlled by changing beta (1) according to the pre-tension and the boundary of the structure. The final form of a tension structure should be an equilibrium system under the pretension. To examine the nature of the initial form, the FEM was used. Many examples show that the initial form gives a very ideal result for equal or unequal pre-tension in two directions of the structure. In general cases, there is little difference between the initial form and the final one.

Experimental Observation of the Ore-Forming Fluid NaCl-H_2O System in the Earth Interior

The NaCl-H_2O binary system is a major component of solutions coexisting with ores. Observation ofsaturated solutions of NaCl-H_2O by using the method of hydrothermal diamond anvil cell (HDAC) is a new approach tothe study of ore-forming fluids. The salinities of NaCl-H_2O solutions in experimental observation are in a range of 32-55%. The observed temperature range is 25℃-850℃, and the pressure range 1 atm-10 kb. In this temperature-pressure range, the supercritical single phase, two phases (L,V) close to the critical state and two-phased (L+V) immis-cible region were observed. And for the salinity of 35% the two phase L+V immiscible region of NaCl-H_2O solutionwas observed in a range of 253-720℃. Another temperature range, 400-817℃, was observed for the immiscible two-phased region of 50% salinity solution. In the high-temperature part of the two-phased immiscible region, the phase na-ture is very unstable. A "critical phenomenon" was observed when the heating path was very close to the critical state.It is possible to observe a 'critical phenomenon': an "explosion" occurred almost constantly at the interface between theliquid and vapour and the interface is rather obscure. A continuous transition between phases L and V could be foundin the immiscible L+V phase while heating continuously. Moreover, as the NaCl-H_2O solution was separated into liq-uid and vapour phases, static charges surrounding each vapour bubble could be seen, and these bubbles were attractedtogether by the static charges to form a special solution structure. Besides, critical states of different salinities of NaCl-H_2O were observed in order to study the properties of the fluids occurring in the rocks in the earth interior, the origin ofore-bearing fluids and the significance of supercritical fluid with respect to the ore formation. The comparison of the sa-linity data of the fluid inclusions in the minerals of ore deposits with observations of NaCl-H_2O under HDAC in theconditions of high temperatures and pressures, combined with further thermodynamic analysis of ore-formation condi-tions would explain in depth the factors determining the ore formation.

Three-Dimensional Prototypes and Evaluation of Their Structure and Form

In order to reveal the appearance of the clothing prototype on the human body,the characteristics of the human body’s structure above the waist section were studied.Based on the experimental data of the fit prototype,three-dimensional prototypes features were comparatively analyzed.And then objectively evaluating the relationship was conducted between the planar structure lines of different prototypes and the human body.The results showed that the prototypes analyzed basically conformed to the size of the human body.However,when they were worn on the human body,there were problems in the structure and forming.The main reason was that the side seam was skewed to different degrees.The results of this study provide reference for many practitioners to choose prototypes.

Preparation and Crystal Structures of Two Polymorphic Forms of Bupropion Hydrobromide

Two polymorphic forms （forms I and IV） of antidepressant bupropion hydrobro- mides were prepared and characterized by powder X-ray single-crystal diffractometer. Lots of commercial substances may consist of form I. Form I crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P1^- with Z= 2, a = 7.6943（8）, b = 7.9347（9）, c = 13.8558（15） A, a = 85.971（3）, β = 85.619（2）, γ = 65.974（3）°, V = 769.66（14） A^3, Dc= 1.384 g/cm^3, formula C13H19C1NOBr, F（000） = 328, p = 2.83 mm^-1, the final R = 0.0579 and wR = 0.1282 for 1756 observed reflections with I 〉 2σ（I）. Another polymorphic form, IV, belongs to the orthorhombic system, space group Pbca with a = 8.6365（3）, b = 12.4167（4）, c = 27.7299（9） A, Z = 8, V= 2973.67（17） A^3, Dc= 1.432 g/cm^3, formula C13H19CINOBr, F（000） = 1312,μ = 2.93 mm^-1, the final R = 0.044 and wR = 0.1093 for 2018 observed reflections with I 〉 2σ（I）. In the crystal structure of the two polymorphic forms, expected proton transfer from HBr to amino group of bupropion molecule occurs and intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonds N-H…Br are formed. These interactions result in hydrogen-bond dimers in these two forms. The bupropion molecule adopts different conformations in the two investigated solid state modifications.

TEMPERING RESPONSE OF A DEFORMED LOW CARBON DUAL PHASE STRUCTURE

The low carbon dual phase structure was cold de formed first,then was tempered at 200 to 600℃.The variation in strength and ductility during tempering of the steel was investigated.It was found that a fter the de formed dual phase structure was tempered at 200 to 600℃, with the increase in the tempering temperature the tensile strength decreases rapidly;the lotal elongation remains constant at 200 to 500℃ but began to rise dramatically at a critical temperature between 500 and 600℃.However,when the non-deformed dual phase structure was tempered at the same temperature range,the tensile strength decreases and the total elongation increases continuously with the increase of temperature.It was demonstrated from TEM analysis that precipitating carbides density along the boundaries ofmartensite lath and the recrystallized grains are responsible for the tempering response ofthe de formed dual phase structure.

The Isotopic Composition of Noble Gases in Gold Deposits and the Source of Ore-Forming Materials in the Region of North Hebei, China

The source of ore\|forming materials has long been a controversial focus both in metallogenic theory and in ore\|searching practice. This study deals with the helium and argon isotopic characteristics of pyrites from 11 gold deposits and some country rocks in the gold mineralization\|concentrated areas within the three mantle\|branch structures in the region of North Hebei Province. It is indicated that \{\}\+3He/\+4He ratios in the gold deposits are within the range of \{0.93×10\+\{-6\}\}-\{7.3×10\+\{-6\}\}, with an average of \{3.55\} ×10\+\{-6\}; R/Ra=\{0.66\}-\{4.93\}, averaging \{2.53\}; \{\{\}\+\{40\}Ar/\+\{39\}Ar\} ratios vary between 426 and 2073, with the average value of \{\}\+\{40\}Ar being \{8.32\}; and the average of \{\}\+4He/\{\}\+\{40\}Ar ratios is 2.17. \{\}\+3He/ \{\}\+4He ratios in gneiss and granite in the periphery of the mining district are within the range of \{0.001×10\+\{-6\}\}-\{0.55×10\+\{-6\}\}, reflecting significant differences in their sources. \{\}\+3He and \{\}\+4He fall near the mantle, as is shown in the He concentration diagram. Studies have shown that the ore\|forming materials in this region should come from the deep interior of the Earth. With the multi\|stage evolution of mantle plume, ore\|forming fluids in the deep interior were moving upwards to shallow levels (crust). Under such circumstances, there would be inevitably occur crust/mantle fluid mixing, so their noble gas isotopic characteristics are intermediate between the mantle and the crust.

Commuting Structure Jacobi Operator for Real Hypersurfaces in Complex Space Forms

Let M be a real hypersurface of a complex space form with almost contact metric structure (φ,ξ,η,g). In this paper, we prove that if the structure Jacobi operator Rξ=(·,ξ) ξ is φ▽ξξ-parallel and Rξ commute with the shape operator, then M is a Hopf hypersurface. Further, if Rξ is φ▽ξξ-parallel and Rξ commute with the Ricci tensor, then M is also a Hopf hypersurface provided that TrRξ is constant.

Research of CBR, DM and smart algorithms based design methods for high-rise building structure form-selection

First, the high-rise building structure design process is divided into three relevant steps, that is, scheme generation and creation, performance evaluation, and scheme optimization. Then with the application of relational database, the case database of high-rise structures is constructed, the structure form-selection designing methods such as the smart algorithm based on CBR, DM, FINS, NN and GA is presented, and the original forms system of this method and its general structure are given. CBR and DM are used to generate scheme candidates; FINS and NN to evaluate and optimize the scheme performance; GA to create new structure forms. Finally, the application cases are presented, whose results fit in with the real project. It proves by combining and using the expert intelligence, algorithm intelligence and machine intelligence that this method makes good use of not only the engineering project knowledge and expertise but also much deeper knowledge contained in various engineering cases. In other words, it is because the form selection has a strong background support of vast real cases that its results prove more reliable and more acceptable. So the introduction of this method provides an effective approach to improving the quality, efficiency, automatic and smart level of high-rise structures form selection design.

Isotopic Characteristics of Mesozoic Au-Ag Polymetallic Ore Deposits in Northern Hebei and Their Ore-Forming Materials Source

It has long been a controversy about the source of ore\|forming materials of Au\|Ag polymetallic deposits both in metallogenic theory and in ore\|searching practice. In terms of a large wealth of the isotopic statistics data from Indosinian\|Yanshanian endogenic ore deposits in northern Hebei (generally referring to the areas along the northern part of Taihang Mountains and northern Hebei, the same below), it is considered that the ore\|forming materials came from the deep interior of the Earth, which had migrated through plumes to the Earth surface while experienced multi\|stage evolution and then emplaced progressively in favorable structural loci to form ores. Their isotope data show that 559 sulfur isotopic data from 40 ore deposits are, for the most part, within the range of -5‰- 5‰, with a high degree of homogenization, indicating that the sulfur is derived mainly from magma; 200 lead isotope data from 37 ore deposits indicate that the ore\|forming materials are principally of mantle source though some crust\|source material was involved; 96 oxygen, hydrogen and carbon isotope data from 34 ore deposits illustrate that the ore\|forming fluids are dominated by magmatic water while other sources of water would be involved. It may therefore be seen that the formation of endogenic deposits has nothing to do with the strata .

Robustness and precision evaluation of the form error of micro-structured surfaces using real coded genetic algorithm

To obtain the form error of micro-structured surfaces robustly and accurately, a form er- ror evaluation method was developed based on the real coded genetic algorithm （RCGA）. The meth- od employed the average squared distance as the matching criterion. The point to surface distance was achieved by use of iterative method and the modeling of RCGA for the surface matching was also presented in detail. Parameter selection for RCGA including the crossover rate and population size was discussed. Evaluation results of series simulated surfaces without form error show that this method can achieve the accuracy of root mean square deviation （ Sq ） less than 1 nm and surface pro- file error （ St ） less than 4 nm. Evaluation of the surfaces with different simulated errors illustrates that the proposed method can also robustly obtain the form error with nano-meter precision. The e- valuation of actual measured surfaces further indicates that the proposed method is capable of pre- cisely evaluating micro-structured surfaces.
