Abstract

Microstructure evolution during the homogenization heat treatment of an Al-Mg-Si-Fe-Mn (AA6xxx) alloy was investigated using a combination of modelling and experimental studies. The model is based on the CALPHAD-coupled homogenization heat treatment model originally developed for AA3xxx alloys (i.e., Al-Mn-Fe-Si). In this work, the model was adapted to the more complex AA6xxx system (Al-Mg-Si-Mn-Fe) to predict the evolution of critical microstructural features such as the spatial distribution of solute, the type and fraction of constituent particles and dispersoid number density and size distribution. Experiments were also conducted using three direct chill (DC) cast AA6xxx alloys with different Mn levels subjected to various homogenization treatments. The resulting microstructures were characterized using a range of techniques including scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe analysis (EPMA), XRD, and electrical resistivity measurements. The model predictions were compared with the experimental measurements, and reasonable agreement was found.

Abstract

The effect of Pr40Co60 addition on the structure, thermal conductivity, magnetic, magnetocaloric and mechanical properties of sintered LaFe11.6Si1.4/Pr40Co60 bulk composites were investigated. The addition of Pr–Co alloy has important effects on these properties due to the diffusion of Pr and Co into the La(Fe,Si)13 phase during sintering. After 6 h of sintering at 1373 K, these composites exhibited a gradual increase in Curie temperature (TC) from 220 K to near room temperature with relatively large maximum magnetic entropy change (–∆SM)max of 2.7–2.9 Jkg–1 K–1 under 0–2 T external magnetic field change. The diffusion of Pr and Co atoms into 1:13 majority phase facilitates 1:13 phase formation, while the Co content of the Pr-Co binder could be used to tune the TC but resulting in the reduced (–∆SM)max in the composites. The composites exhibit high compressive strength (σbc)max of up to 550 MPa and thermal conductivity (λ) of up to 10.64 Wm–1 K–1. Thus, these materials are promising candidates for near room temperature refrigeration.

Abstract

LaFe11.6Si1.4/Ce2Co7 composites were prepared using strip casting flakes (SC-flakes) and heat treated flakes (HT-flakes) by hot pressing, denoted as SC-HP and HT-HP, respectively. Subsequently, additional heat treatment was performed. The microstructure evolution, phase constitution, magnetocaloric and mechanical properties of these SC-HP and HT-HP samples over a large range of heat treatment temperatures and times were compared. Heat treatment at 1373 K for 12 h resulted in Ce and Co diffusion into La(Fe,Si)13 particles. An increase of Tpeak from 228 to 289 K and a large (–ΔSM)max increase from 1.89 to 5.01 J kg−1 K−1 (ΔH = 2 T) was observed in SC-HP samples. Combining hot pressing and heat treatment considerably reduces processing time. 90% of theoretical density, compressive strength greater than 450 MPa, large (–ΔSM)max of ~4.73–5.01 J kg−1 K−1 and good thermal conductivity (λ) above 5.5 Wm−1K−1 were also achieved, suggesting the practical use of such heat treated composites with attractive magnetocaloric, mechanical and thermal properties.

Abstract

Excessive thermal stresses caused by temperature fluctuations can result in thermal fatigue in the piping system of a nuclear power plants (NPPs). The phenomenon of thermal stratification and turbulent penetration in a pipe can lead to temperature fluctuations, and have attracted much attention of the researchers who deal with NPPs. In particular, this phenomenon in the pressurizer surge line has been assessed as one of the significant safety and technical issues due to its high rate of occurrence. This work focuses on a fundamental description of the thermal stratification and turbulent penetration in a pressurizer surge line using experiment and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation based on the FLUENT 6.3.26 code. In this study, CFD simulation with the LES turbulence model is proved to be an accurate and effective method of studying thermal stratification in a pressurizer surge line. Details of turbulent penetration have also been studied in this paper. A criterion of determining the depth of turbulent penetration has been proposed, and the main frequency of the velocity fluctuations of turbulent penetration in a surge line is found to be a continuous frequency band, and not a fixed value.

Abstract

The demand for Al–Mg–Si extrusion alloys in the transportation sector is increasing rapidly. An important aspect of the process is high temperature extrusion and in particular, the breakthrough force for the extrusion press. The breakthrough force varies as a function of the extrusion ratio, extrusion speed and temperature, the complexity of the profile and the flow stress of the alloy. Further, Mn and Cr are often added to the alloy which form dispersoids during homogenization which precipitation strengthen the alloy at high temperature. This work presents a new approach to calculate the volume fraction of dispersoids using electron microprobe analysis, electrical resistivity measurements and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The new method substantially increases the accuracy of the volume fraction determination compared with traditional image analysis or TEM since the volume of material sampled is much larger avoiding effects of local segregation. Using the volume fraction and dispersoid size measurements, a high temperature flow stress model based on dislocation theory has been developed. It is shown to describe the high temperature flow stress measurements to within 5% in 95% of the cases. The model was validated by independent experimentation where it predicted the flow stress within 5% accuracy. The flow stress model can be used independently based on experimental quantification of the dispersoids or as part of a through process model which includes a KWN based precipitation model for dispersoids and then implemented as constitutive equation for a FEM based model of the extrusion process.

Abstract

Knowledge of the elastic wave velocities of hydrate-bearing sediments is important for geophysical exploration and resource evaluation. Methane gas migration processes play an important role in geological hydrate accumulation systems, whether on the seafloor or in terrestrial permafrost regions, and their impact on elastic wave velocities in sediments needs further study. Hence, a high-pressure laboratory apparatus was developed to simulate natural continuous vertical migration of methane gas through sediments. Hydrate saturation (S h) and ultrasonic P- and S-wave velocities (V p and V s) were measured synchronously by time domain reflectometry (TDR) and by ultrasonic transmission methods respectively during gas hydrate formation in sediments. The results were compared to previously published laboratory data obtained in a static closed system. This indicated that the velocities of hydrate-bearing sediments in vertical gas migration systems are slightly lower than those in closed systems during hydrate formation. While velocities increase at a constant rate with hydrate saturation in the closed system, P-wave velocities show a fast–slow–fast variation with increasing hydrate saturation in the vertical gas migration system. The observed velocities are well described by an effective-medium velocity model, from which changing hydrate morphology was inferred to cause the fast–slow–fast velocity response in the gas migration system. Hydrate forms firstly at the grain contacts as cement, then grows within the pore space (floating), then finally grows into contact with the pore walls again. We conclude that hydrate morphology is the key factor that influences the elastic wave velocity response of methane gas hydrate formation in vertical gas migration systems.

Abstract

We study the decays of the J / ψ and ψ ′ mesons to π + π − π 0 using data samples at both resonances collected with the BES III detector in 2009. We measure the corresponding branching fractions with unprecedented precision and provide mass spectra and Dalitz plots. The branching fraction for J / ψ → π + π − π 0 is determined to be ( 2.137 ± 0.004 ( stat. ) − 0.056 + 0.058 ( syst. ) − 0.026 + 0.027 ( norm. ) ) × 10 − 2 , and the branching fraction for ψ ′ → π + π − π 0 is measured as ( 2.14 ± 0.03 ( stat. ) − 0.07 + 0.08 ( syst. ) − 0.08 + 0.09 ( norm. ) ) × 10 − 4 . The J / ψ decay is found to be dominated by an intermediate ρ ( 770 ) state, whereas the ψ ′ decay is dominated by di-pion masses around 2.2 GeV/ c 2 , leading to strikingly different Dalitz distributions.

Abstract

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) was flown on the space shuttle Discovery during flight STS-91 (June 1998) in a 51.7 deg orbit at altitudes between 320 and 390 km. A search for antihelium nuclei in the rigidity range 1–140 GV was performed. No antihelium nuclei were detected at any rigidity. An upper limit on the flux ratio of antihelium to helium of < 1.1×10^−6 was obtained. The high energy proton, electron, positron, helium, antiproton and deuterium spectra were accurately measured. For each particle and nuclei two distinct spectra were observed: a higher energy spectrum and a substantial second spectrum. Positrons in the second spectrum were found to be much more abundant than electrons. Tracing particles from the second spectra shows that most of them travel for an extended period of time in the geomagnetic field, and that the positive particles (p and e+) and negative ones (e−) originate from two complementary geographic regions. The second helium spectrum flux over the energy range 0.1–1.2 GeV/nucleon was measured to be (6.3 ± 0.9) × 10^−3(m^2 s sr)^−1. Over 90 percent of the helium flux was determined to be 3He at the 90% confidence level

The lepton spectra in the kinetic energy ranges 0.2 to 40 GeV for e − and 0.2 to 3 GeV for e + were measured by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) during space shuttle flight STS–91 at altitudes near 380 km. From the origin of the leptons two distinct spectra were observed: a higher energy spectrum and a substantial second spectrum with positrons much more abundant than electrons. Tracing leptons from the second spectra shows that most of these leptons travel for an extended period of time in the geomagnetic field and that the e + and e − originate from two complementary geographic regions.

Abstract

The helium spectrum from 0.1 to 100 GeV/nucleon was measured by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) during space shuttle flight STS-91 at altitudes near 380 km. Above the geomagnetic cutoff the spectrum is parameterized by a power law. Below the geomagnetic cutoff a second helium spectrum was observed. In the second helium spectra over the energy range 0.1 to 1.2 GeV/nucleon the flux was measured to be (6.3±0.9)×10 −3 ( m 2 sec sr ) −1 and more than ninety percent of the helium was determined to be 3He (at the 90% CL). Tracing helium from the second spectrum shows that about half of the 3He travel for an extended period of time in the geomagnetic field and that they originate from restricted geographic regions similar to protons and positrons.

Abstract

The proton spectrum in the kinetic energy range 0.1 to 200 GeV was measured by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) during space shuttle flight STS-91 at an altitude of 380 km. Above the geomagnetic cutoff the observed spectrum is parameterized by a power law. Below the geomagnetic cutoff a substantial second spectrum was observed concentrated at equatorial latitudes with a flux ~ 70 m^-2 sec^-1 sr^-1. Most of these second spectrum protons follow a complicated trajectory and originate from a restricted geographic region., 19 pages, Latex, 7 .eps figures

Abstract

A measurement of the cosmic ray positron fraction e+ / (e+ + e-) in the energy range of 1-30 GeV is presented. The measurement is based on data taken by the AMS-01 experiment during its 10 day Space Shuttle flight in June 1998. A proton background suppression on the order of 106 is reached by identifying converted bremsstrahlung photons emitted from positrons., Physics Letters B, 646 (4), ISSN:0370-2693, ISSN:0031-9163, ISSN:1873-2445

Abstract

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a high energy particle physics experiment that will study cosmic rays in the $\sim 100 \mathrm{MeV}$ to $1 \mathrm{TeV}$ range and will be installed on the International Space Station (ISS) for at least 3 years. A first version of AMS-02, AMS-01, flew aboard the space shuttle \emph{Discovery} from June 2 to June 12, 1998, and collected $10^8$ cosmic ray triggers. Part of the \emph{Mir} space station was within the AMS-01 field of view during the four day \emph{Mir} docking phase of this flight. We have reconstructed an image of this part of the \emph{Mir} space station using secondary $\pi^-$ and $\mu^-$ emissions from primary cosmic rays interacting with \emph{Mir}. This is the first time this reconstruction was performed in AMS-01, and it is important for understanding potential backgrounds during the 3 year AMS-02 mission., Comment: To be submitted to NIM B Added material requested by referee.
