The experimental results reveal that the microstructure of the adjacent base metal varies clearly as a function of holding time. The migration of Cr and Ni elements and the → transformation seem to play relevant roles in this microstructure evolution. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron prob X-ray microanalysis (EPMA) results indicate the transformation of BN→BN and (N, Mo) boride→BN at the interface with the holding time of 60-1 800 s. N content changes with holding time increasing at locations at the interface might be a controlling factor contributing to this transformation.展开更多

This research starts from images and moves on to graphics and then to representation and recognition. Following this route, local spiral cloud belt is segmented from the raw images using image segmentation, the spiral information is extracted using mathematic morphology, and local spiral curves are detected using Hough transformation. The problem of center locating of developing typhoon has finally been solved through a search algorithm of spiral curve. For No. 99082008 cloud image, the result produced by the algorithm in this paper is at 122..3 degree west longitude, 117.5 degree north latitude. The real typhoon center location was at 122.4 degree west longitude, 18 degree north latitude.展开更多

The focus is on the influence of the applied strain direction onthe microstructure and volume fraction of the O-phase precipitates. It is found that altering applied strain directioncan modify microstructure of Ti-25Al-10～12Nb (at. pct) alloy during α_2→O-phase transformation effectively andfull laminate microstructure in the Ti-25Al-10Nb (at. pct) alloy can be realized by an applied strain only along thedirection 30°away from the α_2 phase <1010> in magnitude equivalent to the stress-free transformation strain. Thesimulation also shows that not only the magnitude of applied strain but also the applied strain direction influencesthe O-phase volume fraction and the effect of strain direction on the volume fraction is up to 25%.展开更多

Among six electrodes, Trials 3 and 4 were selected for establishing crack-free weld deposits via preheating and post-weld heat treatment. Austenitization was performed at 900°C for 2 h and austempering at 300 or 350°C for three different holding times to observe the results of austempering with respect to the microstructure, hardness, and austempering kinetics of the samples. The microstructures of the weld deposits showed needle-like bainitic ferrite with small amounts of retained austenite when treated at 300°C and feathery bainitic ferrite with large amounts of retainedaustenite when treated at 350°C. The electrode labeled with Trial 3 revealed greater austenite contents than that labeled with Trial 4 when treated with a 2 h holding time regardless of the austempering temperature applied. The transformation rate of the bainitic ferrite of Trial 3 was relatively higher than that of Trial 4 and showed a lower rate constant, leading to a higher diffusion rate of carbon in austenite.展开更多

Subsequently,dependency of the stress distribution on microstructure pattern is investigated.First,variously sized square grains are tested,and it reveals that the maximum stress tends to decrease as the grain size becomes smaller.Next,the shapes of the grains are varied.As a result,the stress distribution is remarkably affected,while the maximum stress value does not change so much.More complicated grain arrangement is finally tested with eight or nine grain models.Then,it is revealed as a common feature that large stress is generated along the grain boundaries and that the stress distribution is dependent on the grain arrangement.展开更多
