Co element was doped in Fe-6.5Si alloy and the corresponding soft magnetic composites were fabricated successfully by conventional powder metallurgy techniques in this work. Saturation magnetization of Co-doped Fe-6.5Si powder increases compared to powders without Co and the coercivity increases because of grain refinement. Co addition is helpful to improve the electrical resistivity of Fe-6.5Si alloy. After doping Co, it shows a significant trend towards a decrease for core loss of Fe-6.5Si SMCs by reducing both eddy current loss and hysteresis loss. The effective permeability of Co-doped Fe-6.5Si SMCs decreases monotony with the Co content changing from 0 to 7.0 wt%. Fe-6.5Si-1.0Co SMCs shows best magnetic performances (100 mT/50 KHz) with core loss of 781.03 mW/cm3 and effective permeability of 103.36.

High quality Ti–6Al–4V alloy powders were prepared by plasma rotating electrode process (PREP). Three different rotating speed were selected. After sieved, three kinds of powder with different size distribution were consolidated by hot isostatic pressing (HIP). The phase compositions, morphologies and microstructures of the powders and HIPed samples were characterized. Mechanical properties of HIPed Ti–6Al–4V alloys also were investigated. The results showed that the proportion of small particles increased with the increasing rotating speed. Alloy prepared by powders distributed in 100–150 μm possesses the best mechanical properties.

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images are often blurred by phase perturbations induced by uncompensated sensor motion and /or unknown propagation effects caused by turbulent media. To get refocused images, autofocus proves to be useful post-processing technique applied to estimate and compensate the unknown phase errors. However, a severe drawback of the conventional autofocus algorithms is that they are only capable of removing one-dimensional azimuth phase errors (APE). As the resolution becomes finer, residual range cell migration (RCM), which makes the defocus inherently two-dimensional, becomes a new challenge. In this paper, correction of APE and residual RCM are presented in the framework of polar format algorithm (PFA). First, an insight into the underlying mathematical mechanism of polar reformatting is presented. Then based on this new formulation, the effect of polar reformatting on the uncompensated APE and residual RCM is investigated in detail. By using the derived analytical relationship between APE and residual RCM, an efficient two-dimensional (2-D) autofocus method is proposed. Experimental results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed method., Comment: 29 pages, 14 figures

The back-propagation (BP) network is widely recognized as a powerful training tool of the multilayer neural networks (MLNNs). Usually it suffers from a slow convergence rate and often results in local minimums, since it applies the steepest descent method to update the network weights. A variety of related algorithms have been introduced to address that problem. Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is one of the fastest types of these algorithms. This paper presents an approximation calculation for Hesse matrix to train the neural networks when the second order item can not be omitted, and the improved algorithm is successfully used in the surface flaws evaluation of the conductive materials based on eddy current testing (ECT).
