Ni-Nb-Zr/CaF2 amorphous coating was prepared on the surface of SA283GRA steel by adopting a high-power laser cladding system. The results show that the Ni-Nb-Zr/CaF2 coating obtained by laser cladding has a good metallurgical bonding with the matrix of SA283GRA and the amorphous phase was obtained. The different amorphous content was obtained with varied laser power. With the increase of laser power, the dilution rate of the coating gradually increases, the amorphous phase content in the cladding coating decreased gradually, and crystallization near the substrate is significant in the laser coating. As the cladding coating is far from the substrate, the content of amorphous phase increases gradually, and the cladding coating has high thermal stability. The hardness of the Ni-Nb-Zr/CaF2 amorphous coating prepared by a laser power of 4 kW is up to the highest value of 890 HV, which is about 4.7 times that of the base material. The electrochemical corrosion results show that the corrosion resistance of the amorphous layer is better than that of the substrate in NaCl solution with 3.5% corrosive medium. The Ni-Nb-Zr/CaF2 laser coating has a relatively strong amorphous forming ability.

Amorficzną powłokę Ni-Nb-Zr/CaF2 otrzymano na powierzchni stali SA283GrA metodą natryskiwania laserowego, z wykorzystaniem laserów dużej mocy. Uzyskane wyniki badań wykazały, że powłoka Ni-Nb-Zr/CaF2 charakteryzuje się dobrą przyczepnością do podłoża stalowego SA283GrA, a faza amorficzna jest otrzymywana w strefie przypowierzchniowej. Wykazano, że moc wyładowania laserowego istotnie wpływa na zawartość fazy amorficznej. Wraz ze wzrostem mocy lasera zawartość fazy amorficznej w strefie przypowierzchniowej zmniejsza się stopniowo, a stopień krystalizacji powłoki w pobliżu podłoża wzrasta. Zawartość fazy amorficznej zwiększa się gradientowo w funkcji odległości od podłoża. Największą twardość powłoki amorficznej Ni-Nb-Zr/CaF2 890 HV uzyskano z wykorzystaniem lasera o mocy 4kW, tj. ≈4,7 razy większą w stosunku do materiału podłoża. Wyniki badań odporności korozyjnej metodą elektrochemiczną wykazały, że w roztworze NaCl z 3,5% odporność na korozję strefy przypowierzchniowej zawierającej fazę amorficzną jest większa niż odporność korozyjna podłoża. Wykazano również, że faza amorficzna Ni-Nb-Zr/CaF2 ma stosunkowo dużą zdolność do formowania się w strefie przypowierzchniowej i charakteryzuje się dużą stabilnością temperaturową.
In order to solve the aluminum surface ablation issue of Al-Steel bimetallic pipes manufactured by the explosive welding technique, a novel explosive welding system has been designed to weld Al-Steel coaxial pipes. The stand-off distance was chosen according to an empirical formula. A special Explosive Cord with an aluminum coating was used as the explosive. Four experiments were performed using Explosive Cords 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. In each experiment, three reliable PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) piezoelectric film sensors were used to sample the impact pressure between the parent pipe and the flyer pipe along the detonation direction. p-t Curves were obtained at different points on the bimetallic pipe manufactured by Explosive Cord 1. In order to observe the inner surface and to judge the bonding interface, specimens were cut along the axial direction. BSE (Backscattering Electron) images of the interfaces were obtained. According to these pictures from all of the specimens cut along the axial direction, the surface ablation phenomenon has disappeared. The bimetallic pipe manufactured by the new welding system using Explosive Cord 3 has an irregular wavy interface, between micro and small wavy interface, which is one of the best bonding forms.
Traditional emulsion explosives, in spite of excellent water resistance, safe handling and good storage performance, have low power problems which seriously hinders their use. In order to improve the power of emulsion explosives, a hydrogen based emulsion explosive was devised. Scanning electron microscope pictures and experimental storage results show that the coating effect and stability of coated magnesium hydride (MgH2) are very good. The power of an emulsion explosive sensitized by glass microballoons was significantly increased (24.30 mm compression of lead block) after adding coated MgH2, compared to only 16.10 mm compression when not added. Thus emulsion explosives with coated MgH2 as an energetic additive have many potential applications.
The satellite-based Automatic Identification System (AIS) system has continuously been developed by the shipping industry in recent years. This paper introduces the satellite-based AIS including the concept, the system structure, the development and its new applications. The Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) system, which is mandatory to be required on certain classes of ships engaged on international voyages to report their position at least every six hours using onboard communication means however, has similar kind of function of ship monitoring with the satellite-based AIS system. Based on the basic introduction of the LRIT system, this paper presents the comprehensive comparison between satellite-based AIS and LRIT in terms of the ship’s cost, the communication scheme, the monitoring coverage, the information details and the information creditability. The conclusion that the satellite-based AIS should be encouraged to effectively play a complement role to the LRIT system is advanced in the paper.

The zirconia-toughened-alumina (ZTA) composite powder was exposed to a prior ball milling treatment with a small amount of stearic acid (SA) before the traditional blending process. The effect of different amounts of stearic acid on surface properties of the powder, the particle size distribution of the powder, and the rheological properties of the suspension were systematically studied within the design of experiments. Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis was used to prove the chemical interaction between the stearic acid and the ZTA powder. The effects of SA content on the particle sizes and their distribution were carefully examined. Rheological properties such as viscosity, yield stress, and power law exponent of the suspensions were determined within a temperature range of 140-170 °C. The optimal content of SA to improve the properties of the suspensions was found to be 3 wt.%.
