Manufacturing profile-free copper foil using laser shock flattening
摘要： Copper foil is a key material of printed circuit boards and plays an important role in the conductance of electric circuits and interconnection of electronic components. When high-frequency signals were transmitted in rough copper foil wires, the conductor resistance, wire loss, and signal loss increased because of the skin effect. To reduce the negative influence of the skin effect and improve the quality of the copper foil, a laser shock flattening (LSF) method was proposed to manufacture profile-free copper foil with high performance. It was concluded that the better flattening effect for large-area profile-free copper foil could be achieved at a pulse energy of 0.25 J and an overlap rate of 25%, and its surface roughness decreased by 67.0% from 52.1 nm to 17.2 nm. Subsequently, to determine the mechanism for the flattened deformation of copper foil induced by LSF, the microstructures of the copper foil before and after flattening were characterised using transmission electron microscopy. A higher dislocation density and a few deformation twins were found in the profile-free copper foil. Ultimately, nano-indentation, micro-tensile, and electrochemical corrosion tests indicated that the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the copper foil were significantly improved by LSF. This technique would enable the successful fabrication of large-area profile-free copper foil with high performance for the emerging applications of ultra-high-frequency signal communication and printed circuit board manufacture.

In vitro reliability testing and in vivo lifespan estimation of wireless Pixium Vision PRIMA photovoltaic subretinal prostheses suggest prolonged durability and functionality in clinical practice
摘要： Objective. Retinal implants have the potential to restore some sight in patients with retinal degeneration. The PRIMA implant’s novel design features simpler insertion and no transscleral cabling or extraocular components. This in vitro study investigated PRIMA’s durability under real time and accelerated conditions and estimated the device’s lifespan in vivo. Approach. Two potential failure modes were examined: corrosion and overstimulation. Real-time aging was tested using implants immersed in balanced saline solution (BSS) at 37°C, mimicking the intraocular environment. Accelerated aging was examined at 77°C (Arrhenius theory). Confirmatory testing of acceleration factor was performed using different temperatures (37°C-87°C) and weakened implant coatings. The effect of repeated maximum stimulation was tested using a pulsed infrared laser (6x acceleration factor). Data were used to estimate device lifespan. Main results. 175 implants were tested for up to 33 months. No corrosion or water ingress was observed after approximately 20 accelerated years. A pixel failure rate of 0.15% was recorded after 10 accelerated years’ stimulation. The derived lifespan estimation for the PRIMA implant was 27.0 years with a reliability of 90% (95% confidence interval). Significance. The PRIMA implant was found to be robust, with in vitro reliability of at least ten years. The PRIMA implant shows durability and functionality for clinically relevant timespans under similar environmental conditions to the human eye. These results require in vivo confirmation.

Effect of laser surface melting on surface integrity of Ala??4.5Cu composites reinforced with SiC and MoS2
摘要： Two types of composites were prepared with Al?4.5Cu alloy as a matrix using stir casting method. One was reinforced with 10 wt.% of SiC and 2 wt.% of MoS2. The other was reinforced with 10 wt.% of SiC and 4 wt.% of MoS2. Their surfaces were remelted using a CO2 laser beam with an objective to study the influence of laser surface melting (LSM). The topography, microhardness, corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the laser melted surfaces were studied. Overall surface integrity after LSM was compared with as-cast surface. LSM enhanced the microhardness and wear resistance of the surface in each case. Porosity of the laser melted surface was low and corrosion resistance was high. Thus, LSM can be conveniently applied to enhancing the surface integrity of the aluminium composites. However, there is an optimum laser specific energy, around 38 J/m2 in this study, for obtaining the best surface integrity.

[Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing] Image Processing and Communications Challenges 10 Volume 892 (10th International Conference, IP&C’2018 Bydgoszcz, Poland, November 2018, Proceedings) || Video Processing and Analysis for Endoscopy-Based Internal Pipeline Inspection
摘要： Because of the increasing requirements in regards to the pipeline transport regulations, the operators take care to the rigorous application of checking routines that ensure nonoccurrence of leaks and failures. In situ pipe inspection systems such as endoscopy, remains a reliable mean to diagnose possible abnormalities in the interior of a pipe such as corrosion. Through digital video processing, the acquired videos and images are analyzed and interpreted to detect the damaged and the risky pipeline areas. Thus, the objective of this work is to bring a powerful analysis tool for a rigorous pipeline inspection through the implementation of speci?c algorithms dedicated to this application for a precise delimitation of the defective zones and a reliable interpretation of the defect implicated, in spite of the drastic conditions inherent to the evolution of the endoscope inside the pipeline and the quality of the acquired images and videos.

Effects of lithium doping on: microstructure, morphology, nanomechanical properties and corrosion behaviour of ZnO thin films grown by spray pyrolysis technique
摘要： Li-doped ZnO thin films were prepared on glass substrate by a chemical spray pyrolysis method, in the temperature of 460 °C. The effects of Li content on the microstructural, morphological and mechanical characteristics of the doped (ZnO:Li) thin films were also examined. The XRD study showed a sharp preferred c-axis orientation and showed that (ZnO:Li) films have a würtzite structure and grow principally along the c-axis orientation with a preferred orientation (002). The film morphology was examined by (AFM) and (SEM). Results of SEM observations showed that sprayed thin films, exhibited uniform and harmonious texture. Furthermore, ZnO:Li thin films revealed uniform and spherical shaped crystallites with an approximate medium size of 200 nm. AFM characterization demonstrated an amelioration of the surface roughness of the ZnO:Li thin films. The mechanical characteristics of ZnO:Li thin films have been investigated by the nano-indentation experiment. It has been found that the addition of lithium enhances the hardness and Young’s modulus. On the other hand, the corrosion behaviour of Li-doped thin films is examined in chloride solutions. The electrochemical experiments confirmed that the lithium doping could ameliorate the anti-corrosion performance.

[Laser Institute of America ICALEO? 2015: 34th International Congress on Laser Materials Processing, Laser Microprocessing and Nanomanufacturing - Atlanta, Georgia, USA (October 18–22, 2015)] International Congress on Applications of Lasers & Electro-Optics - Microstructural effects induced by laser shock peening for mitigation of stress corrosion cracking
摘要： Stress corrosion cracking is a phenomenon that can lead to rapid, sudden failure of metallic products. In this paper we examine the mechanisms of SCC mitigation of stainless steel and brass samples using laser shock peening (LSP). The behavior of hydrogen within the crystal lattice is one of the most dominant contributors to SCC, where uptake of hydrogen strains the lattice and increases its hardness. Cathodic charging of the metallic samples in 1M sulfuric acid was performed in order to accelerate hydrogen uptake. Non-treated samples underwent hardness increases of 28%, but LSP treated samples only increased in the range of 0 to 8%, indicative that LSP keeps hydrogen from permeating into the metal. Mechanical U-bends subjected and MgCl2 environments are analyzed, to determine changes in fracture morphology. Surface chemical effects are addressed via Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy, which is used for finding changes in the work function caused by LSP treatment. A finite element model of material deformation from U-bending was developed to analyze and compare the induced stresses. With LSP, there is a potential for overprocessing the samples, whereby negative effects refinement, to corrosion martensite formation) can arise. Detection of any martensite phases formed is performed using x-ray diffraction. We find LSP to be beneficial for stainless steel but does not improve brass’s SCC resistance. With our analysis methods we provide a further understanding of the process whereby LSP reduces subsequently highlight SCC for important implementation of the process.

Microstructure and Corrosion Properties of Laser-Welded SAF 2507 Super Duplex Stainless Steel Joints
摘要： SAF 2507 super duplex stainless steel has been welded using laser beam (LB) welding and laser/gas metal arc hybrid (LGH) welding processes. The pitting and intergranular corrosion properties of the welding joints have been tested using electrochemical testing and microstructure observations. The volume fraction of the ferrite phase reaches 70% in the weld zone of the LB welding joint, while the volume fraction of the ferrite phase is 60% for the welding joint of LGH due to the introduction of Ni from welding wire. The pitting corrosion resistance of the welding joint for LB is better than that of LGH. The pitting corrosion is easily conceived in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) because of the formation of Cr2N in the HAZ during welding.

Enhancement of the surface properties of selective laser melted maraging steel by large pulsed electron-beam irradiation
摘要： The present work aimed to decrease the surface roughness of maraging steel (MS) by selective laser melting (SLM) using large pulsed electron-beam (LPEB) irradiation as a post-treatment. The MS samples were fabricated using different combinations of laser power, scanning speed, hatch distance, and build angle. The morphological features, surface roughness, phase content, and corrosion resistance of the MS samples in their as-fabricated (ASF) state were compared after LPEB irradiation. The ASF SLM-MS samples exhibit the presence of partially melted particles that spread over the entire surface and many cracks in both the longitudinal and transverse directions. A higher arithmetical mean height (Sa: 2-17 μm), large variations in Sa measured at various locations, and a strong dependence of Sa on build angle were also observed. Post-treatment by LPEB irradiation removed the partially melted particles, while reflow of the molten mass filled the cracks and voids and facilitated the formation of a uniform surface with a bright metallic finish. This has resulted in a significant decrease in Sa (0.50-4.50 μm) and a smaller variation in Sa measured at different locations. Body-centered cubic α-martensite was the predominant phase for the ASF SLM-MS samples, along with a small fraction face-centered cubic γ-austenite phase. After LPEB irradiation, the martensite was reverted to the austenite phase. The corrosion resistance of the LPEB-irradiated samples was moderately better than that of the ASF SLM-MS samples. The uniform surface morphology, removal of partially melted particles, absence of pores and cracks, decrease in Sa, and moderate improvement in corrosion resistance suggests that LPEB irradiation can be used as a post-treatment for SLM-MS samples.

Corrosion wear and electrochemical corrosion behaviors of laser cladded amorphous FeSiB coating in 3.5% NaCl solution
摘要： An amorphous FeSiB composite coating was fabricated on S355 structural steel using a laser cladding. The corrosion wear and electrochemical corrosion behaviors of FeSiB coating in 3.5% NaCl solution were investigated using a wear tester and electrochemical workstation. The results show that the FeSiB coating with the hardness of 601 HV is primarily composed of amorphous and crystal phases of α–Fe(Si) and Fe2B. The average coefficients of friction (COFs) of FeSiB coating at the wear loads of 3, 5 and 7 N loads are 0.888, 0.751, and 0.564, respectively, which deceases with the increase of wear loads; and the corresponding wear rates are 7.60, 8.02 and 10.04 μm3?N–1?m–1, respectively. The corrosion potentials of FeSiB coating and substrate are –0.718 and –1.042 V, respectively, exhibiting that the corrosion potential of FeSiB coating shifts positively, its corrosion resistance was higher than that of substrate.

Nonlinear Ultrasonic Detection Method for Delamination Damage of Lined Anti-Corrosion Pipes Using PZT Transducers
摘要： Lined anti-corrosion pipes are widely used in oil and gas, petrochemical, pharmaceutical industries. However, defects, especially delamination, may occur in the production and service of pipes which result in safety accidents. Based on nonlinear ultrasonic theory, this paper studied the delamination detection method using the nonlinear harmonics for lined anti-corrosion pipes. The response characteristics of the anti-corrosion pipe were obtained through a sweep sine response experiment and the preferred excitation frequency was determined. The Wavelet Packet transform and Hilbert–Huang transform is applied for signal process and feature extraction. Then, a series of experiments were carried out and the results were analyzed and discussed. The results showed that a second-order and third-order nonlinear coefficient increased with the delamination damage. The amplitude of second-harmonic is much stronger than the third-order one. The mean squared error of the nonlinear coefficient, which was processed by Wavelet Packet transform and Hilbert–Huang transform, is smaller than wavelet packet transform and Discrete Fourier transform or processed only Hilbert–Huang transform. The higher harmonics can describe the change of delamination damage, which means that the nonlinear ultrasonic detection method could use for damage detection of anti-corrosion pipe. The nonlinear higher-harmonic is sensitive to delamination damage. The nonlinear ultrasonic method has the potential for damage detection for lined anti-corrosion pipes.
