The solidification process and themicrostructure of the transition layer were investigated during the recombination process of the liquid Al and the solid Cu. The results reveal that the microstructure of the transition layer in the Cu?Al composite cast consists of α(Al)+α(Al)?CuAl2 eutectic,α(Al)?CuAl2 eutectic, CuAl2+α(Al)?CuAl2 eutectic and Cu9Al4. Additionally, the pouring temperature, cooling mode of the Cu platesurface and start time of the forced cooling after pouring have no effect on the microstructure species. But the proportion of thevarious microstructures in the transition layer changes with the process parameters. The pure Al at the top of the transition layer startsto solidify first and then the α(Al) phase grows in a dendritic way, while the CuAl2 phase exhibits plane or cellular crystal growth from the two sides of the transition layer towards its interior. The stronger the cooling intensity of the Cu plate outer surface, the more developed the dendrite, and the easier it is for the CuAl2 phase to grow into a plane crystal.展开更多

Results showed that content of fixed NH in soil reached aminimun on day 7 after incubation and then increased gradually regardless of the amount of glucose addedand the kind of soil tested. However, the amount of fixed NH released from the soil at the given time variedwith both the amount of glucose added and the kind of soil examined. In cases glucose was added at a rateof 10.0g C/kg soil, the amount of fixed NH retained in soil after 7 days of incubation was almost identicalto that found by Neubauer test. Addition of K ̄+ depressed the release of fixed NH significantly. Based onthe results obtained a method for determining the content of available fixed NH in soils was proposed andthe amount of N as available fixed NH in two soils measured by this method on an area profile-depth basiswas presented.展开更多

Methods: Totally twenty patients aged from 14 to 68 years and admitted to our hospital between September 2006 and June 2011 were reviewed, of whom seventeen had a unilateral comminuted zygomatic arch fracture and three re displaced arch fracture after failed closed reduction. The fracture segments were aligned to restore the preinjury form of the arch by rigid fixation with resorbable plates and screws through a modified preauriculartemporal incision. Results: The fractures were well reduced, preauricu lartemporal scar and lateral facial contour were aestheti cally satisfying, and no case had limited mouth opening as well as facial palsy. The resorbable plates were not palpated one year after the operation. Conclusion: The rigid internal fixation through the preauriculartemporal approach with the resorbable bone is an effective method for the comminuted and redisplaced zyomatic arch fractures.展开更多

The volume fractions of the primary (Ge) phase and pseudobinary (Ag+ε2) eutectic solidified within ultrasonic field are larger than those formed under equilibrium state, whereas that of ternary (Ag+ε2+Ge) eutectic exhibits the reverse trend. During rapid solidification, the liquid alloy droplet directly solidifies into ternary (Ag+ε2+Ge) eutectic if its diameter is smaller than 350 um. The ultrasound stimulates the nucleation of alloy melt and prevents the bulk undercooling. With the increase of sound intensity, the primary (Ge) phase transfers from faceted dendrites to nonfaceted blocks with blunt edges, and its grain size is remarkably reduced. Both pseudobinary (Ag+ε2) and ternary (Ag+ε2+Ge) eutectics experience a morphological transition from regular to anomalous structures. This indicates that their cooperative growth mode is replaced by independent growth of eutectic phases under the combined effects of cavitation and acoustic streaming. The ultrasound also shows a prominent coarsening effect to the pseudobinary (Ag+ε2) and ternary (Ag+ε2+Ge) eutectics.展开更多
