The progressive failure model of fiber reinforced plastics and the continuous damage model of composite laminate of the Ls-Dyna software were applied to simulate the mechanical response and damage modes of carbon fiber reinforced plastic laminates under in-plane shear loads, with the mechanical parameters obtained by quasi-static uniaxial tensile and in-plane shear tests. The applicability of the two models was compared. The results show that in the initial linear elastic stage during in-plane shearing, the two models could simulate the mechanical characteristics of the carbon fiber reinforced plastic laminates. As the load continued to increase, the load-displacement simulation curve obtained by the progressive failure model still rose linearly, and dropped rapidly after reaching the load peak; the simulation curve had a large deviation from the test curve. When the material was damaged, because of the introduction of damage parameters, the load-displacement simulation curve obtained by the continuous damage model was nonlinear, which was in good agreement with the test curve.

Additive manufacturing is an important development direction of advanced manufacturing technique for metal parts, but the metal powder for additive manufacturing has some problems such as insufficient research and development, weak stability and incomplete standards, which seriously restrict its development.

The problems in their development and application are analyzed, and their development prospect is also discussed.

The hardness of the 1Cr5Mo steel fastening nut of a supercritical unit steam turbine in a thermal power plant was reduced significantly after service. Aiming at this phenomenon, the aging tests (equivalent to service) of the 1Cr5Mo steel nut were carried out at 566 ℃. The effect of aging time on the microstructure and mechanical properties was studied, and the microstructure and performance were compared with those of the nut served at 566 ℃ for 10⁵ h. The results show that at temperatures not higher than 566 ℃, the microstructure of the 1Cr5Mo steel nut changed slowly; the microstructure was still martensite and carbide after aging for 2 880 h. But the microstructure changed to tempered sorbite after service for 10⁵ h. With the extension of the aging/service time, the carbides migrated and concentrated from the inside grain to the grain boundary, and became obviously coarsened. The deterioration of the structure led to the reduction of the hardness, strength, and impact energy of the nut.

The research direction of improving photovoltaic performance by regulating internal electric field is pointed out.

Two types of unclosed staircase chart were cited, and reasonable assumptions were made on the test results that may appear during the staircase fatigue test. The effect of test data closed or not on the fatigue strength was analyzed when the fatigue strength was statistically estimated by the staircase method. The results show that when the last-level stress in the staircase chart of unclosed test data was lower than the first effective stress, the statistically estimated fatigue strength after subsequent supplementary of hypothetical staircase chart was also lower than the statistically estimated fatigue strength from the original unclosed fatigue test staircase chart. When the last-level stress of the staircase chart of unclosed test data was higher than the first effective stress, the statistically estimated fatigue strength after subsequent supplementary of hypothetical staircase chart was also higher than the statistically estimated fatigue strength from the original unclosed fatigue test staircase chart. Even if test data was not closed, the fatigue strength statistically estimated from failure events and non-failure events may be equal.

Microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of 25Cr2Ni4MoV steel welded joint were compared and studied under conditions of pre-welding and post-welding quenching and tempering treatments. The quenching and tempering process was oil quenching at 920 ℃ for 1 h and tempering at 580 ℃ for 2 h. The welding process was manual electrode arc welding. The results show that by pre-welding quenching and tempering, the microstructure of the joint weld zone consisted of lath martensite, network δ-ferrite and M₂₃C₆ carbide. After the post-welding quenching and tempering, the δ-ferrite in the weld was dissolved, and the lath martensite, tempered sorbite and M₂₃C₆ carbide were formed. Under the post-welding quenching and tempering condition, the lath martensite in the weld was small and uniform, and the M₂₃C₆ carbide distributed in granular shapes on original austenite grain boundaries and martensite lath grain boundaries; the strength, impact toughness and corrosion resistance were better than those by the pre-welding quenching and tempering treatment.

The cobalt-doped manganese oxide for aqueous zinc-ion battery cathode material was prepared by solvothermal, hydrolyzing and annealing with cobalt nitrate and manganese nitrate as raw materials.

The results show that the prepared cobalt-doped manganese oxide h-CoMn_3.2O_x had a hierarchical yolk-shell structure, and the porous shell surface was decorated with petal-like nanosheets with radial dimension of more than 100 nm. Both of the shell and nanosheets were composed of primary nanoparticles with average size of 5 nm. Cobalt-doping endowed manganese oxides with small size and delicate structure. h-CoMn_3.2O_x had the manganosite MnO crystal structure. Compared with monometallic manganese oxide, h-CoMn_3.2O_x exhibited relatively large specific surface areas and specific capacities, and had good cyclic stability. The energy-storage behavior of h-CoMn_3.2O_x was attributed to sequent co-insertion of H⁺ and Zn²⁺.

40Cr13 plastic die steel was quenched at different temperatures (960,1 020,1 080,1 140 ℃), and the effect of quenching temperature on microstructure and hardness was studied. The steel was tempered at 200 ℃,and the corrosion resistance of the steel was studied by immersion test and electrochemical test. The results show that the microstructure of the test steel after quenching at different temperatures was composed of quenched martensite, carbides and a small amount of retained austenite. The microstructure became coarse with increasing quenching temperature, and the number of carbides decreased. When the quenching temperature was 1 140 ℃, network carbides precipitated on austenite grain boundaries in the microstructure. The hardness of the test steel increased first and then decreased with increasing quenching temperature. When the quenching temperature increased from 960 ℃to 1 080 ℃, the corrosion rate of the test steel after tempering in FeCl₃ solution decreased; the diameter and depth of pitting holes on the surface of the test steel decreased, and the number increased. The free-corrosion potential of the test steel in NaCl solution increased, and the free-corrosion current density decreased; the corrosion rate decreased and the corrosion tendency decreased. The optimum the quenching temperature was 1 020 ℃; at this point, the quenched martensite was relatively small, and the hardness was the largest; the corrosion resistance was relatively good.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of imported EA4T steel axle for high-speed railway were investigated, and uniformity of the microstructure and mechanical properties was analyzed. The results show that non-metallic inclusions, including CaS, Al₂O₃ and a small amount of silicate, were found in the axle, and the number of inclusions increased from the surface to the core. The microstructures at different positions in the axle all consisted of tempered martensite, bainite and a small amount of proeutectoid ferrite; the size and number of the proeutectoid ferrite increased from the surface to the core. The microstructure was uneven. The tensile properties and hardness of the axle met the standard requirements. The tensile strength at the core was obviously lower due to higher content of the proeutectoid ferrite. Banded structure was observed in the longitudinal direction of the axle, and therefore the transverse impact toughness was relatively low. The tensile fracture of the axle sample showed relatively small and deep dimples, indicating good plasticity; the tensile fracture mode was ductile fracture. The impact fracture had obvious river patterns and dimples, and the fracture mode was brittle-ductile mixed fracture.

The common methods for controling the residual stress and deformation, as well as the problems and challenges in wire and arc additive manufacturing, are summarized.

The rod end body of a rod end joint bearing fractured under tensile and compression loads. The fatigue fracture mechanism was analyzed by the observation of fracture morphology and microstructure and the measurement of micro area composition and hardness. The results show that the fatigue fracture of the rod end body occurred in the transition area between the rod and ring (position A) and on the ring in 45° direction to the rod (position B). Serious fretting wear existed between the ring inner face of the rod end body and the outer ring outer face of the joint bearing, resulting in the initiation of cracks. Under the tensile and compression loads, the microcracks at position B first propagated, leading to the fracture. The fracture at position B changed the force direction at position A, leading to the inclination of the rod end body. The inclination resulted in the cracking at position A, and finally led to the fracture of rod end body.

T23, T91 and TP347H steel tube samples were taken at different positions of the final boiler reheater of a 600 MW supercritical boiler in service of about 7.8×10⁴ h. Microstructures and tensile properties at room temperature and elevated temperature of these samples were analyzed, and the deterioration degrees of the microstructure and tensile properties were studied and compared. The results show that the microstructures of T23, TP347H, T91 steel tube samples presented obvious degradation characteristics with M₆C carbide,M₂₃C₆ carbide and Laves phase precipitated on grain boundaries, and the microstructure degradation grades were grade 4, grade 3.5 and grade 4, respectively. The tensile properties of T23 steel tube samples at room temperature and elevated temperature showed serious deterioration tendency, and did not meet the standard requirements. The tensile strength of T91 steel tube samples decreased significantly. The tensile properties of TP347H steel tube samples met the standard requirements. Under elevated temperature conditions, TP347H steel tube samples had good strength and structural safety, but ductility was significantly reduced.

Two titanium-sulfur containing free-cutting steels with titanium content (0.09wt% and 0.21wt%) were smelted and forged at 1 200 ℃. The morphology, size and quantity of sulfides in the structure and the mechanical properties of the as-cast and forged test steels were compared and studied. The results show that in the as-cast test steel, most of the manganese sulfides were short-rod-like and spherical, and distributed in chains or nets along the grain boundaries. After forging, the manganese sulfides extended along the forging direction, the statistically obtained length-width ratio increased, and the quantity per unit area decreased. The increase of titanicum content increased the quantity per unit area of manganese sulfides. The tensile fracture surface of the as-cast test steel showed cleavage terrace and river pattern, and the fracture mode was brittle fracture. The tensile fracture after forging showed cleavage and dimple mixed morphology, and the fracture mode was ductile fracture. The tensile properties and the impact toughness of the forged test steel were better than those of the as-cast steel, indicating forging was helpful to improve the mechanical properties of the titanium-sulfur containing free-cutting steel.

6063 aluminum alloy was prepared by pressure forming process, and then was treated by solution at 535 ℃ and aging. The effects of solution time (15-120 min), aging temperature (160-200 ℃) and aging time (1-24 h) on the microstructure, tensile properties and hardness of the aluminum alloy were studied. The results show that with increasing solution time, the grain size of 6063 aluminum alloy increased, and the primary Mg₂Si phase gradually disappeard and redissolved in the matrix; but the solution time had no effect on the content and morphology of α-Al₈Fe₂Si phase and β-Al₅FeSi phase. After solution treatment, with increasing aging temperature or aging time, the number of second phase Mg₂Si increased, but a higher temperature or a longer aging time resulted in the coarse of the Mg₂Si phase. With increasing solution time, aging time or aging temperature, the strength and hardness of the alloy increased first and then decreased, and the precentage elongation after fracture decreased first and then increased. The appropriate solution and aging treatment system for 6063 aluminum alloy was 535 ℃×60 min + 180 ℃×7 h; at this time the Mg₂Si phase precipitated in the alloy was the smallest and dispersed, and the alloy had the highest strength and hardness and the appropriate precentage elongation after fracture.

A U-shaped thin-walled structure part model of T300 carbon fiber reinforced AG80 epoxy resin (T300/AG80) composite was established by ABAQUS finite element software. The stress and springback amount (synchronous demolding by simulation) changes during hot-press curing molding and the residual stress distribution after demolding were studied. The simulation of residual stress was verified by the small-hole test method. The results show that during the molding process, the stress and springback amount of the side wall and bottom surface of the U-shaped structure part increased with time. The stress and springback amount increased with the distance from the bottom surface or the distance from the center of symmetry. After demolding, the residual stress at the center of symmetry of the U-shaped structure part was the smallest, and the residual stress increased with the distance from the bottom surface or the distance from the center of symmetry. The greater the residual stress released before and after demolding, the greater the springback amount. The relative error between the residual stress measured by the small-hole method and the simulation was less than 10%, indicating the simulation was accurate.

Pulsed laser lap welding was conducted on SUS304 stainless steel sheets (0.2 mm thick), at different laser power (140-420 W) and welding velocities (10-30 mm·s^-1), namely different heat input. The influence of heat input on the weld formation was studied, and the microstructure and mechanical properties of the joint with optimal formability were analyzed. The results show that a well-formed weld can be obtained when the heat input was in the range of 9-20 J·mm^-1; the forming performance was the best at laser power of 320 W and welding velocity of 20 mm·s^-1 (heat input of 16 J·mm^-1). The microstructure in the weld center of the joint with optimal formability consisted of equiaxed grains, in the fusion line consisted of fine columnar grains, and in the weld near fusion line of cellular dendrites. The hardness at the fusion line of the welded joint with optirnal formability was the highest, followed by the weld zone. The joints obtained at different laser power and welding velocities all fractured in the heat-affected zone. The tensile strength of the joint with optinal formability was the highest of 790.1 MPa, which was close to that of the base metal, and the tesile fracture mode was ductile.

G20Mn5 cast steel plates with thickness of 8 mm were connected by metal active gas (MAG) arc butt welding with one-side two-pass welding method. The microstructure, hardness, tensile property and fatigue property of the joint were studied. The results show that the joint had the good surface and no obvious welding defects were found. The joint consisted of base metal, heat affected zone and weld zone, and the heat affected zone was subdivided into incomplete normalized zone, normalized zone and overheated zone. From the base metal to the weld center, the hardness of the joint increased first and then decreased. The fusion zone had the highest hardness of about 70 HRB, and the hardness of the weld was 55-60 HRB, which was a little higher than that of the base metal. The tensile strength of the joint was obviously higher than that of the base metal, while the percentage elongation after fracture was lower than that of the base metal. The high cycle fatigue strength of the joint was equivalent to that of the base metal, and both fractured at heat affected zone. The properties of the joint met the design requirements.

The pulsed ultra-narrow-gap welding (UNGW) was applied to 1Cr18Ni9Ti austenitic stainless steel plate with 20 mm thickness. The microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the pulsed UNGW joint were analyzed. The results show that the microstructures of backing weld zone in pulsed UNGW joint were austenitic equiaxed grain+lath δ-ferrite; the microstructures of filling bead and cover pass weld zone were columnar austenite+lath and cellular δ-ferrite. The microstructures of partially melted zone were austenite + vermicular δ-ferrite; the microstructures of imperfect mixing zone were austenite+δ-ferrite, and their shape was disorderly. The microstructures of heat affected zone were austenite+striped δ-ferrite. The ductility and toughness of the pulsed UNGW joint were better than those of the direct-current UNGW joint, but the strength was lower than that of the direct-current UNGW joint. The corrosion resistance of fusion zone+heat affected zone, weld zone, whole joint and base metal of the pulsed UNGW joint increased in turn in NaCl solution. The intergranular corrosion resistance of the pulsed UNGW joint in nitric acid solution was worse than that of the base metal without sensitizing and the direct-current UNGW joint, but was better than that of the sensitized base metal.

The grain growth during the annealing process of pure copper with homogeneous and heterogeneous structure (gradient structure and bimodal structure) were simulated by the phase field model and the ideal grain growth model. The results show that the change of grain boundary energy barrier had little effect on the growth rate of grain with homogeneous structure. When the annealing time was longer than 600 s, the growth rate of homogeneous structural grains had a larger step change. For heterostructural grains, the greater the grain boundary energy barrier, the slower the grain growth. In the gradient structure, the growth rate of small grains was the fastest, followed by that of medium grains, and that of large grains was the slowest. The larger the grain size, the smaller the influence of the grain boundary energy barrier on the growth rate. In the bimodal structure, the grain boundary energy barrier had greater influence on the growth rate of coarse grains than the fine grains. The growth rate of fine grains significantly decreased and of coarse grains increased after increasing number of coarse grains.

The results show that there was no obvious surface defects and crack defects on the cylinder and end cover of the two dryers. The microstructure of substrate was pearlite without obvious spheroidization, and the size and distribution of the graphite sheets were mainly A type. The length of the graphite sheet of the front end cover of the dryer after service for 62 a and the rear end cover of the dryer after service for 43 a was relatively long. The hardness of the cylinder and the end cover of the two dryers all met the standards. The tensile strength of the front end cover of the dryer after service for 62 a was lower than the standard requirements, while those of the other positions of the two dryers all met the standard requirements. The tensile strength of the front end cover of the dryer after service for 62 a and the rear end cover of the dryer after service for 43 a was obviously lower than that of other positions. Both the two dryers still had sufficient strength under the maximum working internal pressure load of 0.22 MPa.

The future research direction on the anti-friction of the electromagnetic field is pointed out.

The microstructure, tensile properties and corrosion resistance of a new BGNDMA low-alloy steel were studied and compared with the properties of 09CrCuSb steel and 2205 duplex stainless steel. The results show that the microstructure of the BGNDMA steel was ferrite and pearlite, and the tensile properties were better than those of 09CrCuSb steel. When immersed in 70 ℃, 50wt% H₂SO₄ solution for 24 h, the corrosion rates of most samples were not higher than 80 g·m^-2·h^-1, and the statistical average value was about 36.367 g·m^-2·h^-1, indicating the excellent resistance to sulfuric acid corrosion. In the dead green liquor and the industrial flue gas dew point (not higher than 80 ℃) corrosion environment, the BGNDMA steel underwent uniform corrosion, and 2205 duplex stainless steel underwent local corrosion such as pitting corrosion and crevice corrosion; BGNDMA steel was expected to replace 2205 duplex stainless steel in H₂SO₄-HCl mixed acid dew point corrosion environment. In an industrial flue gas dew point corrosion environment, the corrosion resistance of the hot rolled BGNDMA steel was better than that of the normalized steel.

The bainite transformation point at different quenching temperatures (950-1 100 ℃) and the continuous cooling phase transformation point at the optimal quenching temperature of 20Cr1Mo1VTiB steel were measured on a thermal dilatometer. Then the continuous cooling transformation curves were drawn by combination of the phase transformation points, microstructure observation and hardness test. The relationship between the phase transformation point or transformation amount and the cooling rate was established with empirical equations, and the phase transition activation energy was calculated. The results show that the bainite transformation temperature of the test steel decreased with increasing quenching temperature; the preferred quenching temperature was 1 050 ℃. The supercooled austenite transformation products were proeutectoid ferrite, pearlite and bainite with cooling rates not higher than 0.5 ℃·s^-1, and were single bainite with cooling rates higher than 0.5 ℃·s^-1. The fitting curves of phase transformation point- and phase transformation amount-cooling rate were in good agreement with the test results. The activation energy of proeutectoid ferrite and bainite transition was 744.8, 274.9 kJ·mol^-1, respectively.

The plastic parameters of materials were extracted from the loading part of load-depth curves obtained by coupling single indentation test and finite element simulation, and combining inverse method and simulated annealing particle swarm optimization. The strength of different metal materials was estimated on the basis of Ludwig hardening model and compared with the results obtained by uniaxial tensile test. The results show that the load-depth curves obtained by simulation almost coincided with those obtained by tests, and the relative error was less than 0.5%, indicating that plastic parameters could be extracted from indentation load-depth curves by simulated annealing particle swarm optimization. The true stress-true plastic strain curves extracted from indentation load-depth curves by inverse method based on Ludwig hardening model were not unique, but obvious convergence tendency of the strength estimated from the extracted true stress-true plastic strain could be observed. The strength of different metal materials obtained by the indentation tests was close to that obtained by tensile tests; the biggest relative errors of the yield strength and tensile strength were 5.9% and 4.3%, respectively, indicating that the strength of the metal materials could be evaluated accurately by indentation test method.

Slow tensile stress corrosion tests and stress corrosion crack growth tests were used to study the stress corrosion behavior of AISI4340 steel in water at 100 ℃ containing saturated oxygen and/or 0.1 mol·L^-1 Cl^-. The results show that the presence of oxygen or Cl^- in water at 100 ℃ could increase the stress corrosion tendency of AISI4340 steel. The stress corrosion tendency in deoxygenated 100 ℃ water containing Cl^- was not significant, and the slow tensile fracture retained some ductile fracture characteristics; complete brittle fracture of AISI4340 steel occurred in the high temperature water containing saturated oxygen, and the stress corrosion tendency was significant. Oxygen or Cl^- could increase the stress corrosion crack growth rate of AISI4340 steel in water at 100 ℃. There was an interaction between oxygen and Cl^-, so their co-existence significantly increased the stress corrosion tendency and caused rapid crack growth after cracking.

The results show that LZ92 magnesium lithium alloy welded joint had good formability, and no obvious pores and cracks were found in the weld. The phase composition of the base metal and the weld was the same, consisting of α phase, β phase and intermediate phase Mg₇Zn₃. The base metal was composed of equiaxed β phase and dendritic and granular α phase; the heat-affected zone was composed of coarse β phase and a few fine granular α phase; a large amount of fine needle and granular α phases evenly distributed in the β phase in the weld and the grain boundaries of β phase disappeared. The hardness of the weld was the highest, followed by the base metal, and the hardness of the heat affected zone was the lowest. The tensile strength of welded joint was 158 MPa, which was 86.8% that of the base metal, and the elongation was 27%. The tensile fracture of the welded joint was located at the fusion line between the heat-affected zone and the weld; the fracture was composed of dimples and cleavage surfaces, indicating the fracture form was a mixed fracture.

CrAlN nano-multilayer films were prepared by magnetron sputtering technique under different bias voltages (-60,-70,-80,-90 V) of the substrate, and the effect of bias voltage of the substrate on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the film was studied. The results show that with increasing absolute value of the substrate bias voltage, the nitrogen content in the CrAlN nano-multilayer film increased, the phase composition unchanged, the preferred orientation changed from the CrN (111) crystal plane to the CrN (200) crystal plane, the pores on the film surface decreased, and the densification of microstructure was improved. When the bias voltage of the substrate was between -60 and -80 V, the bias voltage had little effect on the film deposition rate. When absolute value of the bias voltage was higher than 80 V, the deposition rate decreased significantly. With increasing absolute value of bias voltage of the substrate, the hardness and elastic modulus of the film increased, and the film base bonding force increased and then decreased, reaching the maximum at -80 V of bias voltage.

Silicon carbide ceramic has high strength and thermal conductivity, and good chemical stability, and is widely used in aerospace, petrochemical, integrated circuits and other fields; however, defects are easy to form in the silicon carbide ceramic during processing because of its high hardness and brittleness, which restricts the application of silicon carbide ceramic with complex structures. The preparation processes of silicon carbide ceramic with complex structures are described, and the advantages and disadvantages of the commonly used preparation technologies, such as cold isostatic pressing combined with pressure-free sintering, gel injection molding combined with reactive sintering, slip casting combined with reactive sintering, 3D printing combined with reactive sintering, are analyzed in order to provide a certain theoretical reference for the preparation of silicon carbide ceramic with complex structures.

Ti-6Al-4V alloy was prepared by selective laser melting (SLM) technique, and the effect of laser scanning speed (705, 805, 905, 1 005, 1 105 mm·s^-1) on internal defects, microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy was studied. The results show that the pore defects and the porosity of Ti-6Al-4V alloy formed by SLM increased with the scanning speed. The alloy microstructure was composed of needle-like α' martensite, and the scanning speed had little effect on the microstructure morphology. With the increase of laser scanning speed, the tensile strength, yield strength and microhardness of the alloy decreased, and the elongation did not change much. The tensile fracture form of the alloy was ductile fracture, and there were deeper tensile cracks and more unmelted particles and spheroidization in the fracture at higher scanning speed.

The influence of the type and thickness of the copper foils on the microstructure and properties of the joint was studied. The results show that the shear strength of the welding joint with pure copper foils as the transition layer was significantly higher than that of the copper alloy foils as the transition layer, and the welding joint with T4 copper foil as the transition layer had the highest shear strength. With increasing thickness of the T4 copper foil, the width of the reaction zone of the joint decreased, the width of the intermediate transition zone increased, and the Ti-Fe intermetallic compound in the fusion zone decreased, the shear strength of the joints increased first and then decreased, reaching the maximum when the thickness was 0.4 mm.

The results show that the established hyperelastic constitive model could accurately predict the stress-strain curve of the fabric and the single fiber bundle, and the realtive errors were less than 3.5%. The viscoelastic constitutive model could accurately predict the stress relaxation curve of the fabric, and the relative error was less than 3.21%.

The hot compression deformation of 60Si2CrVAT high-strength spring steel was carried out on thermo-simulation machine at different temperatures (900,950,1 050,1 150℃) and strain rates of 0.1-10 s^-1, the influences of deformation temperature and strain rate on hot deformation behavior of the steel were investigated. The hot-compression deformation constitutive equation of 60Si2CrVAT spring steel was established based on hyperbolic sine equations of Arrhenius type. The results show that the flow stress of the spring steel increased with the increase of deformation rate and decreased with the increase of deformation temperature, it was found that dynamic recrystallization was more likely to occur at high deformation temperature and low strain rate. And the activation energy was calculated to be 372 kJ ·mol^-1 when true strain was 0.2, the calculated flow stress well agreed with the experimental results and the average relative error between them was 4.89%.

A mini mill rolling model was established with Deform software and then was used to simulate temperature rise and strains of the AISI1015 steel workpiece with different specifications (φ8 mm, φ10 mm, φ13 mm) and different initial temperatures (800, 850, 900, 950 ℃) during the rolling process. The reason for the difference in rolling temperature rise was analyzed. The results show that the relative errors were within 13% between the mini mill rolling model simulation and the test results of the surface temperature of the workpiece when exiting the rolling mill. During the rolling process, the temperature rise and accumulated equivalent strains in the core of the workpiece were the largest, and the smaller the rolling specification, the greater the temperature rise and strain in the core. The lower the initial temperature of the workpiece, the greater the temperature rise and the torque. The uneven temperature rise of the workpiece with different specifications was mainly caused by the uneven distribution of equivalent strains; the obvious difference of the temperature rise in the core at different initial temperatures was caused by different rolling loads.

Selective laser melting and electron beam selective melting additive manufacturing are ideal advanced high energy beam additive manufacturing techniques. The selective laser melted and energy beam selective melted Ti-Al alloy had a fine microstructure, and better mechanical properties than the cast alloy. The alloy can obtain good high-temperature creep resistance and ductility by reasonable heat treatments after the forming. The high energy beam additive manufacturing technique can solve the traditional forming problem of Ti-Al alloy component. The research progress on the preparation of Ti-Al prealloyed powder, the process and application of selective laser melting and electron beam selective melting, and the microstructure and properties of Ti-Al alloy are reviewed. The future research direction of Ti-Al alloy prepared by high-energy beam additive manufacturing is prospected.

The 304 stainless steel substrate was grinded to 1200^# (1^# process), 2000^# (2^# process) by sandpaper in sequence and grinded to 2000^# and polished by diamond polishing paste with size of 0.5 μm (3^# process), respectively, and then the CrMoN coating was deposited on the surface. The phase composition, surface and cross-section morphology, hardness, surface hydrophobicity, corrosion resistance and conductivity of the coating were studied. The results show that the roughness of the coating surface deposited on the substrate surface pretreated with 1^# process was the largest, followed by that pretreated with 2^# process, and the roughness that pretreated with 3^# process was smallest. The phase of the coating consisted of CrN, Cr₂N and Mo₂N. With decreasing substrate surface roughness, the microhardness, free corrosion potential and water contact angle of the coating increased, and the corrosion current density and interface contact resistance after polarization decreased. The comprehensive properties of the CrMoN coating deposited on the substrate surface pretreated with 2^# process were excellent, which were close to those pretreated with 3^# process.

In simulated wet desulfurization slurry flow environment, the effect of impact angle of NaCl solution+quartz sand acid slurry with sample impact surface on the erosion behavior of Cr30A high chromium cast iron was studied. The results show that the mass loss of the cast iron was relatively large under the interaction of corrosion and abrasion after the slurry impacted the cast iron at angles of 60° and 30°. The mass loss of the cast iron was relatively small after the slurry impacted the cast iron vertically, and the main cause of the mass loss was impact abrasion. The mass loss of the cast iron was the smallest after the slurry impacted cast iron parallelly, and the main cause of the mass loss was pitting. When the cast iron was subjected to the paralled impact of the slurry, its erosion mechanism was mainly micro-cutting. When subjected to the 30° angle impact of the slurry, the erosion mechanism was mainly cutting and plowing, and extrusion edges, impact pits and shallow flaky fatigue peeling existed on the cast iron surface. When subjected to the 60° angle impact of the slurry, the erosion mechanism was mainly deep material layer peeling and severe corrosion abrasion. When subjected to the vertical impact of the slurry, the erosion mechanism was mainly the shedding of surface material, accompanied by slight corrosion abrasion.
