Experimental Study on Deep Notch Fracture Characteristics of Q420qE Bridge Steel
GONG Xuhui, GAO Zhenpeng, WU Songlin, NIU Jiajia
2022, 37(3): 1-4.
Abstract:
Deep notch wide plate tensile test and conventional tensile test are conducted on 20 mm-thick Q420qE steel in temperature range of -80~20℃. Results indicate that with the decreasing temperature, the fracture strength Rf increases, the fracture strain ef remains almost the same, and the deep notch fracture strength Rn decreases. A modified Neuber formula is proposed to describe the relationship between Rn, Rf, ef and the temperature. The deviation between Rn calculated by the proposed formula and tested by deep notch wide plate tensile test is within ±5%, indicating that for deep notch wide plate tensile test, the decrease of temperature may increase the concentration of stress and strain due to the presence of the deep notch.

2022, 37(3): 5-12,20.
Abstract:
The effects of (0.5%~2.5%, w) Cu addition on the microstructure, mechanical property and corrosion behavior of TA10-based alloys are studied. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy (OM) are used to study the microstructure of the alloys, and the X-ray diffraction (XRD) is adopted to identify the phase composition. The electrochemical measurements and the static immersion tests are employed to study the corrosion performances of the alloys. After obtaining the alloy with the optimal chemical compositions, its corroded surface morphology is observed by the atomic force microscope (AFM). Results signify that with the increase of Cu content, the matrix structure of TA10 alloy is continuously refined. When the Cu addition is 2.5%, the hardness of the alloy is the maximum. When the Cu addition is in the range of 1.5%~2.0%, the alloy has good corrosion resistance. The alloy with 0.5% Cu presents the best corrosion resistance.

LI Zhongxiang, ZHANG Jiankang, CHEN Xueqing, DAI Yanming
2022, 37(3): 35-38.
Abstract:
The reasons for large leakage current or the breaking down of the single tantalum anode block of capacitor are analyzed by using the scanning electron microscopy, and the main reason is that the local inclusions cause the abnormal growth of the oxide film, resulting in the discontinuity of the local tantalum oxide film on the surface of the particles, therefore, a large number of electrons pass through the leakage and even leads to the breakdown of the anode. The foreign body appearing in the tantalum anode block is the carbide inclusion of tantalum in the raw material of tantalum ingot, and the carbide inclusion of tantalum has high melting point and acid erosion resistance. In the subsequent treatment of the tantalum powder, the carbide inclusion of tantalum cannot be removed and remains in the tantalum powder. Backscatter electron imaging can be applied to tantalum sample detection.

DUAN Tigang, MA Li, WU Zhengjiang, XIN Yonglei, GAO Xianze, XU Likun
2022, 37(3): 39-44.
Abstract:
TiO2 mediated layers with various morphologies such as nanosheets and nanowires have been realized through the alkaline hydrothermal method to improve the electrochemical performance of Ru-Ir oxide electrodes. After introducing the TiO2 mediated layers, the electrode cracking morphology turns to the hierarchical structures with nanosheets and nanowires, and the cracks on the electrode surface disappear. Linear sweeping voltammetry analysis indicates that the chlorine evolution potential of electrode reduces from 1.171 V (vs. SCE) to 1.162 V (vs. SCE), and that the chlorine evolution polarizability decreases from 0.516 V to 0.454 V when the electric current densities are 2 mA·cm-2 and 20 mA·cm-2. The voltammetry charge calculation shows the amount of voltammetric charge for TiO2-mediated Ru-Ir oxide electrode increases to 18.3 mC·cm-2, which is 4.78 times as much as that of Ti/Ru-Ir electrode (3.83 mC·cm-2). Meanwhile, the charge transfer impedance decreases. Introducing the TiO2 mediated layers with various morphologies can improve the electrochemical activity of electrode and enhance the electrocatalytic chlorine evolution ability.

2022, 37(3): 57-60.
Abstract:
At present, the long-term protection measure for the heat exchange tubes of open rack vaporizers (ORV) is to prepare aluminum and its alloy coatings on their surfaces. Due to the long-term exposure to the marine environment, the aluminu-mbased coating on the surface of the heat exchange tube will appear pitting, bulging, shedding, and thinning, which may threaten the safe and efficient operation of the equipment. Here, the factors that affect the corrosion of ORV heat exchange tubes are analyzed, such as sand content of seawater, flow rate of seawater, ion species, and PH value of seawater, etc. The results can provide certain theoretical support for the corrosion mechanism research, life evaluation of protection layer, equipment status monitoring, and daily operation and maintenance of the heat exchange tubes.

Abstract:
The FTA500 grade tantalum powder with the capacity of 50 000 μF·V/g is chosen to explore the effect of the molding and sintering processes on electrical properties of tantalum anode.

WANG Dongfeng, ZHANG Wei, ZHANG Tao
2022, 37(3): 97-100.
Abstract:
For the structural characteristics of the "radar + infrared" composite stealth system and the magnetization characteristics of the radar absorbing coating, the magnetic thickness measurement model for the radar absorbing coating in a composite stealth coating is established and the thickness measurement algorithm analyzed. It is found that when the sum of the thicknesses of the infrared coating and a certain primer in the composite stealth system is much smaller than the thickness of the air coating, the magnetic thickness measurement can ignore the influence of the thicknesses of the infrared coating and the primer, and that the thickness of the radar absorbing coating can be directly measured by using the electromagnetic characteristic relationship that the magnetic force is proportional to the thickness of the radar absorbing coating. Besides, a magnetic thickness measurement sensor is designed and the magnetic force measurement test is carried out. The results show that the magnetic thickness measurement system has a simple structure and accurate measurement results.
