The phase field approach is a powerful computational technique to simulate morphological and microstructural evolution at the mesoscale. Spheroidization is a frequently observed morphological change of mesoscale heterogeneous structures during annealing. In this study, we used the diffuse interface phase field method to investigate the interfacial diffusion-driven spheroidization of cylindrical...

The accuracy of Global Positioning System (GPS) is increased with the coupling to Inertial Navigation System (INS) to accomplish navigation. This paper proposes an algorithm to filter and fuse the GPS and INS information. Sigma point kalman filter is employed to simulate the information convergence of the dynamic model which maintains better performance in nonlinear system. So we can obtain a b...

Polycrystalline materials are generally thought to have grain size distributions that correspond to log-normal. Statistical volume elements can use such geometric shape distributions to simulate single-phase polycrystals. When the log-normal distribution is used for grain size, however, it can give rise to nonphysical large grains that cannot be practically accommodated in finite simulation vol...

copper–silver bimetallic strips were produced by cold roll welding process and were treated by diffusion annealing in the temperature range 250–800 ?c. the interface bonding strength was determined by bending and peeling tests, resistance, conductivity and micro hardness profiles were determined and microstructure in the interface region was observed by optical microscope. electrical resistance...

In the present work the recrystallization behavior of deep drawing grade Al-killed low carbon steel sheets produced by Mobarakeh Steel Plant (MSP) has been studied. Salt bath isothermal annealing has b...

in the present study, the influence of annealing temperature on mechanical properties and the microstructure of a high manganese austenitic steel (fe-30mn-4al-4si-0.5c) was investigated. x-ray diffractometry, optical and scanning electron microscopy, hardness and tensile tests were used to analyze the relationship between mechanical properties and microstructure after annealing process. the res...

the formation of nano/ultrafine grained ferrite in low carbon steels containing different amounts of niobiumwas investigated using thermomechanical treatment which consisted of annealing of 85% cold rolled martensite with different parameters. the specimens were characterized by optical and scanning electron microscopy and vickers hardness test. a lamellar dislocation cell structure was formed ...
