Due to the interaction between Ti and interstitial solutes of C, N, and O, precipitation occurs at elevated temperature. The behavior has been studied in the past few years by short time annealing and results showed that it may greatly affect its mechanical properties Ti-CON type precipitates, appearing at- 700℃ in the solid-solution annealed alloy in high number density and small size, strengthen the alloy significantly and reduce its ductility. As the ductility reduction is in an acceptable level, the strengthening might be utilized for a light and strong vanadium alloy structure. Before a conclusion, uncertainty of its thermal stability should be studied during the high temperature serves. Besides, seldom has been studied for the effect of long time aging on precipitation behavior and tensile properties of the alloy.展开更多

This paper uses the tidal response of the well water level data in the North China region to calculate the tidal factor of each well and extract the effective water trend information. Then,the volumetric strain of an existing confined aquifer well in the North China region is inverted,and the contour maps are plotted on a half-year scale from 2009 to 2012. Results show that it can reflect the state of stress and strain in deep crust to a certain extent in the North China region.展开更多

To take Xiaowan project of China for an example, a practical system of simulation feedback analysis, a specific cracking criterion, and a resolution for the conflicting requirements of temperature and stress/strain simulation are presented, which are put into a successful practice. The simulation results of temperature, stress, and cracking are identical well with the monitor data. A modified temperature control measure is propounded, and the significant effect is gained by adopting the new scheme.展开更多

The potential energy surface information was obtained at the MCQCISD/3//MP2/cc-pVDZ level and the kinetic calculations were done using variational transition state theory with interpolated single-point energy (VTST-ISPE) approach. The calculated results show that the reaction proceeds primarily via the H-abstraction channel, while the Cl-addition channel is unfavorable due to the higher barriers. The improved canonical variational transition-state theory (ICVT) with the small-curvature tunneling correction (SCT) was used to calculate the rate constants. The theoretical rate constants at room temperature are in general agreement with the experimental values. A three-parameter rate constant expression was fitted over a wide temperature range of 200-2000 K.展开更多

We assume that the interface reaction is fast enough and the oxidation rate is controlled by diffusion process at high temperature. By introducing the growth stress gradient we modify the classical oxidation parabolic law. The modified factor of the oxidation rate constant is a function of growth strain, environment oxygen concentration, and temperature. The modeling results show that the stress gradient effect on the oxidation rate cannot be ignored. Growth strain will dominate whether the stress gradient effect promotes or slows down the oxidation process. The stress gradient effect becomes weaker at higher temperature. This effect is amplified at higher concentrations of environmental oxygen. Applied mechanical loads do not affect the oxidation rate. This model is available for high temperature oxidation of metals and alloys.展开更多
