In order to achieve high load-carrying efficiency for fiber winding composite circular grid structure with outer skin,axial compression stability is analyzed using FEM.Parameter design program is finished using the APDL language of ANSYS.Changing law of load-to-mass ratio for circular grid structure with outer skin which is attached to helical stiffener winding angle,stiffener cross area,stiffener aspect ratio,helical stiffener couples and hoop stiffener strips has been researched utilizing the parameter design program.Axial compression experiment of specific dimension grid structure is carried out on the INSTRON1346 material fatigue strength test machine.It is shown that axial compression load-carrying capacity can be predicted using FEM;when helical stiffener winding angle is from a value between 0 degree and 40 degree,load-carrying efficiency of circular grid structure is more higher;better value for stiffener aspect ratio is in the range of 0.9-1.3.

Ultrafine nickel powders were prepared in nickel sulfate aqueous solution by controlling reaction conditions of liquid-phase reduction method using hydrazine as reducing agent.Mechanism of reduction and growth of ultrafine nickel powder was also discussed.The effect of process parameters on reduction reaction was analyzed through the experiments.Ultrafine nickel powders were characterized by the X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and specific surface area measurement.The results showed that the nucleation and growth of ultrafine nickel powder were independent.The release of nickel ions and the supersaturation,which can make it possible to achieve very short nucleation process,high nucleation rate and relative slow nuclei growth rate,were regulated by temperature,concentration of Ni2+ and pH value.In addition,the surfactant can inhibit the aggregation of powders and make it easy to prepare monodisperse ultrafine nickel powder.The ultrafine spherical nickel powders of high purity were synthesised in a high conversion rate by a liquid-phase reduction method using hydrazine as reducing agent,the obtained powders have small particle size,large specific surface area and good dispersion.
LU Zhi-guo, LIN Jian-ping, ZHANG Bao-wen. Analytic Prediction on the Curing Degree of Adhesive Bonded Automobile Aluminum Joint[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2011, 0(7): 15-19.
To predict the curing degree of adhesive bonded automobile aluminum joint,the heat transferring process of the joint within the curing process was experimentally analyzed;Based on the experimental results,the inner heat released by adhesive is neglected;the temperature distribution of the joint is considered to be uniform.According to the joint energy balance,the temperature variation of the joint has been studied,following which the analytic curing degree prediction model of joint is established,and then verified through experiments.Finally,the effects of curing parameters and substrate thickness on the curing degree were discussed.It has been found that increasing cuing temperature can significantly improve the curing rate of the joint while increasing the preheat temperature or decreasing the adherend thickness can not improve the curing rate of the joint,but make the curing of adhesive start earlier.It has also been found that the effect of preheat temperature can be more pronounced at a great adherend thickness.

HE Shi-mei, MU Ren-de, XU Zhen-hua, HE Li-min, HUANG Guang-hong. Study of Water Vapor Corrosion at 1300℃of Si/3Al2O3·2SiO2+BSAS/Yb2SiO5 Environmental Barrier Coatings[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2011, 0(7): 34-38,43.
A Si bond coat had been deposited on a Cf/SiC specimen by electron beam physical vapor deposition(EB-PVD),and then a mixed layer of mullite and BSAS and a Yb2SiO5 top coat were sprayed by plasma spraying(PS).The water vapor corrosion behavior was tested under the conditions of 0.54m/s,1.013×105Pa and 1300℃.The results indicate that the loss of mass was observed after 175h exposure under experiment conditions.The formation and volatilization of Yb(OH)3 and Si(OH)4 can be accountable for mass loss of those specimens.The combination of outward diffusions of Ba,Sr and Al in middle coating and inward diffusions of Yb in Yb2SiO5 coating,and residual stresses existed in EBC lead to the failure of EBC.

The low hardness and poor wear resistance of pure copper result in the less effective use in metallurgical application.In order to increase the microhardness and wear resistance,the pure copper surface with the electro-deposited nickel layer was chromized-aluminized by slurry packing cementation process,and then Cr-Al coating was formed on the surface of Ni plating.The effects of Al powder content on microstructure,microhardness and wear resistance were investigated.The results showed that the phase of coating,which was mainly consists of a solid solution Al and Cr in Nickel,have a preferred orientation in crystal plane(200).As the mass fraction of Al powder increased from 5% to 20%,the microhardness of coating increase gradually from HV 170 to HV 200,and friction coefficient decreases from 0.55 to 0.35.However,when the mass fraction of Al powder was about 25%,the coating with microhardness of 970HV and the friction coefficient of 0.25 was composed of the main phase NiAl and a small amount of Ni2Al3 phase.As a result,the pack process was changed from the chromizing-base to aluminizing-base as the Al powder content increasing.

This paper describes a temperature measuring and controlling system for hundred old creep testing machines,which have been used around 50 years.The unique design strategy of the developed system is to use independent control and measurement equipments.Under the controlling of the developed system the temperature gradient on specimen is stable even if the specimen length varies,in which case the thermocouple number is different.An effective filtering policy is used so that the temperature measuring and controlling system is not sensitive to the power surges.And the controlling system itself does not make current surges to the power system.The accuracy of the measuring system is less than ±0.1% full scale.The measuring system monitors the temperatures in groups of 30 creep test machines.A computer management software is programmed to scan and record the temperatures of each test machines.The friendly interface of the software allows easy operation and creep testing automation.The temperature measuring and controlling system has been running for about 10 years reliably.A great amount of testing works have been carried out by these testing machines equipped with the developed temperature measuring/controlling system.
