SIMS Characterisation of Aluminum-Alloyed Hot Isostatic Pressed Steel

 Recently, interest in steel alloyed with∼1% Al increased. These materials are expected to show a higher resistance against oxidation at high temperatures which will improve their performance when used as high-speed-steels. Furthermore, efforts have been made to combine the advantages of Al-steels with those of powder-metallurgic methods like hotisostatic-pressing (hip). This should result in a better macro- and microscopic homogeneity of the distribution of all compounds, yielding less waste-production and a longer life-time of products. In order to gain deeper insights in the process of “hipping” of the considered material and to see the distribution of both main as well as trace components, 2D and 3D-SIMS measurements of the material were performed before and after having undergone the hip process. The measurements showed enrichments of Na, K, Mg, Ca, and S at the particle boundaries before as well as after the hip-process. In the hipped material, the enrichments are significantly stronger in the spatial domains in-between larger particles. They also reveal, that the concentration of C is not equal in all particles and that the particles are covered with an Al₂O₃-layer which is not dispersed by the hip-process. There were also found small (∼50–100 nm) nitride-precipitates before as well as after the hip-process.

Miniature Boat Fabrication with Striking Loading Capacity in Seawater from Hydrophobic Steel Mesh

A superhydrophobic steel mesh film was prepared by combination of macro-scale rough sur-face and low surface energy material treatment through a facile coating method. The contact angle for seawater is measured to be as high as 130.16o. A reformed Cassie-Baxter equation was applied for the theoretical predictions of this novel material for the first time. Good agreement between the predictions and experiments was obtained. The loading capacities of these boats, fabricated from the resulting hydrophobic steel meshes, were also character-ized. The highest loading weight about 17.50 g was obtained by the steel mesh treated by 2.0wt% (heptadecafluoro-1,1,2,2,-tetradecyl)trimethoxysilane solution. The striking loading capacity of this miniature boat may be attributed to the air film trapped around the mesh surface. This novel superhydrophobic steel mesh material have wide applications on medical materials, marine materials and smart materials.

A single-longitudinal-mode continuous-wave Ho~(3+):YVO_4 laser at 2.05 μm pumped by a Tm-fibre laser

We present a single-longitudinal-mode continuous-wave Ho~(3+):YVO_4 laser at 2.05 μm pumped by a Tm-doped fibre laser. Use of a cavity etalon enables spectral selectivity for single-mode operation. The highest power achieved in the single longitudinal mode at 2052.5 nm is 282 mW at a slope efficiency of 6.9%, corresponding to an optical conversion efficiency of 3.0%. These features demonstrate that this single-longitudinal-mode Ho:YVO_4 laser is suitable for use as a seed laser in some Lidar systems(e.g., coherent Lidar or differential absorption Lidar). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on such a single-longitudinal-mode Ho:YVO_4 laser at 2.05 μm.     

Interfacial characterisation and mechanical properties of heat treated non-woven kenaf fibre and its reinforced composites

This paper reports on the comprehensive characterisation of heat treated kenaf fibre (KF) and its composites. The kenaf fibres were modified by heating for 2.5–12.5 h inside a drying oven. Heat treatment produces an increase in the crystallinity index and fibre strength of KF. The highest value of KF strength was recorded by applying heat treatment of 10 h on KF. The heat treatment results in the partial removal of impurities/extractives on the KF surface which is detected by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Atomic force microscopy results signify the decrease of roughness, the increase in peak area density and the increase of the adhesion force on the surface area of heat treated KF. The effect of the heat treatment in enhancing the interface bonding characteristics between the KF and unsaturated polyester matrix can be reflected by the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and dynamic mechanical analysis value of the composites. The flexural properties of the composites showed a similar trend to ILSS. However, the fracture toughness revealed contrasting results. Water absorption induced a drastic loss of the mechanical properties of the composites albeit better retention of properties was observed in the case of heat-treated KF composites.

Electrical crosstalk-coupling measurement and analysis for digital closed loop fibre optic gyro

The phase modulation and the closed-loop controller can generate electrical crosstalk-coupling in digital closed-loop fibre optic gyro. Four electrical cross-coupling paths are verified by the open-loop testing approach. It is found the variation of ramp amplitude will lead to the alternation of gyro bias. The amplitude and the phase parameters of the electrical crosstalk signal are measured by lock-in amplifier, and the variation of gyro bias is confirmed to be caused by the alternation of phase according to the amplitude of the ramp. A digital closed-loop fibre optic gyro electrical crosstalk-coupling model is built by approximating the electrical cross-coupling paths as a proportion and integration segment. The results of simulation and experiment show that the modulation signal electrical crosstalk-coupling can cause the dead zone of the gyro when a small angular velocity is inputted, and it could also lead to a periodic vibration of the bias error of the gyro when a large angular velocity is inputted.
