The results show that pre-straining at 170 °C immediately after quenching can effectively resolve the rather high T4 temper hardness caused by the conventional room temperature (RT) pre-straining treatment, and give a better bake hardening response (BHR) after paint-bake cycle. HT-PS 7% at 170 °C for 10 min is chosen as the optimum process as it provides lower T4 temper hardness and better BHR. The simultaneous introduction of dislocations and Cluster (2) can significantly suppress the natural aging and promote the precipitation of β″ phase, and reduce the effects of deformation hardening by dynamic recovery.展开更多
Directionally solidified (DS) specimens of Nb-Ti-Si based ultrahigh temperature alloy were heat-treated at (1 500 ℃, 50 h) and (1 500 ℃, 50 h) + (1 100 ℃, 50 h), respectively.

The results show that the microstructures become uniform, the long and big primary (Nb,X)sSi3 (X represents Ti and Hf elements) plates in the DS specimens are broken into small ones, and the eutectic cells lose their lamellar morphology and their interfaces become blurry after heat-treatment. Meanwhile, the (Nb,X)sSi3 slices in the eutectic cells of the DS specimens coarsen obviously after heat-treatment. Homogenizing and aging treatments could effectively eliminate elemental microsegregation, and the segregation ratios of all elements in niobium solid solution (Nbss) in different regions tend to 1. After heat-treatment, the microhardness of retained eutectic cells increases evidently, and the maximum value reaches HV1 404.57 for the specimen directionally solidified with a withdrawing rate of 100 μm/s and then heat-treated at (1 500 ℃, 50 h) + (1 100 ℃, 50 h), which is 72.8 % higher than that under DS condition.展开更多

The result...The evolution of morphology, composition, thickness and corrosion resistance of the oxide film on pure Sn solder substrate submitted to high-temperature aging in 150 °C dry atmosphere was investigated. The results indicate that high-temperature aging accelerates the dehydration of Sn(OH)_(4)in the pre-existing native oxide film to form SnO_(2)and facilitates the oxidation of fresh Sn substrate, resulting in the gradual increase in oxide film thickness and surface roughness with prolonging aging time. However, the corrosion resistance of the film initially is enhanced and then deteriorated with an extending aging time. Besides, the formation and evolution mechanisms of the oxide film with aging time were discussed.展开更多

Methods Chromatography was carried out on Zorbax 300SB-C_(18) column using amixture of methanol and aqueous solution of phosphate buffer (pH = 5.6) as mobile phase. The UVdetection wavelength was 220 run. Results The linear ranges of ceftazidime and tazobactam were 0.62- 631.8 μg·mL^(-1) and 0.66 - 677.50 μg·mL^(-1), respectively. The average recoveries were 98.8%- 101.4% for ceftazidime, and 99,1% - 100.2% for tazobactam. The RSD values of inter-day andintra-day assays were lower than 1.5% for ceftazidime and 2.6% for tazobactam. Conclusion Thismethod is reproducible, simple, precise, and rapid for the quality control of ceftazidime andtazobactam in injectable powder.展开更多

Besides, “three-stage” triaxial loading and unloading mechanics tests of sandstone were conducted based on the idea of the initial high in-situ stress state recovery according to the full-life cycle evolution characteristics of surrounding rocks in deep mines(pre-excavation,excavation and post-excavation). The time-dependent stress-strain curves of sandstone were obtained. Meanwhile, the deformation and strength fitting relationships with time of sandstone were also built. Furthermore, the dilatancy and volumetric recovery mechanical mechanisms of sandstone were revealed. The results showed that: 1) There were significant time-dependent evolution characteristics on the deformation and strength of sandstone;2) There were significant correlations among the internal friction angle, cohesion and the simulated depths;3) Volumetric recovery phenomenon of sandstone was observed for the first time, which mainly occurred at the simulated depth of 2000 m. The above research conclusions could provide a certain theoretical basis for the stability control of surrounding rocks in deep mines.展开更多

This new propagator is exact and unconditionally convergent for calculating reactive scattering processes with large time step sizes. In order to improve the computational efficiency, the spectral difference method was applied. This resulted the Hamiltonian with elements confined in a narrow diagonal band. In contrast to our previous theoretical work, the discrete variable representation was applied and resulted in full Hamiltonian matrix. As examples, the collision energy-dependent probability of the triatomic H+H2 and O+O2 reaction are calculated. The numerical results demonstrate that this new propagator is numerically accurate and capable of propagating the wave packet with large time steps. However, the efficiency and accuracy of this new propagator strongly depend on the mathematical method for solving the involved linear equations and the choice of preconditioner.展开更多
