According to MD simulation results, pressing depth between two bonding materials will affect bonding strength. Alloy material (Al0.9Cu0.1) had void defect phenomenon in low bonding speed condition because the increasing chance of atom migration which will result in low bonding strength. High tensile speed causes material fracture phenomena happen earlier than low speed. Material stress in low speed is smaller than in high speed. Fracture morphology of material is different in different tensile speed. In low speed condition, material can be stretched thinner than in high speed condition. Material in high temperature has greater kinetic energy than low temperature; therefore, material in high temperature has better formability and behaves larger tensile strain than low temperature. For pure aluminum, when temperature raises to 900K which is close to melting point (933K), its crystal structure is no longer belongs to F.C.C. structure, so bonding strength is weaker than low temperature. Large size material has larger contact area than small size material; therefore, the tensile force and tensile strength of the former are larger than the latter. The order of bonding strength for these three materials is: binary alloy > pure copper > pure aluminum.

Railway Wheels

The wear and fatigue behaviors of two newly developed types of high-speed railway wheel materials (named D1 and D2) were studied using the WR-1 wheel/rail rolling–sliding wear simulation device at high temperature (50 °C), room temperature (20 °C), and low temperature (−30 °C). The results showed that wear loss, surface hardening, and fatigue damage of the wheel and rail materials at high temperature (50 °C) and low temperature (−30 °C) were greater than at room temperature, showing the highest values at low temperature. With high Si and V content refining the pearlite lamellar spacing, D2 presented better resistance to wear and fatigue than D1. Generally, D2 wheel material appears more suitable for high-speed railway wheels.

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of low-temperature aluminizing process on the microstructure and dry sliding wear properties of Mirrax steel. Low-temperature aluminizing process was applied on Mirrax steel at 600, 650, and 700 °C for 2, 4, and 6 h. The packs for the process were prepared using pure aluminum powder as aluminum deposition source. Ammonium chloride NH4Cl and Seydisehir Al2O3 powder were used as the activator and the inert filler, respectively. Scanning electron microscope (SEM)/energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis were applied for characterization of the coating surfaces. The through-thickness variation in the layer microstructure was determined and it was found to vary between 1 µm and 45 µm which increased with higher process temperature and time. After the deposition process, the coating layer hardness increased to 1000 HVN, whereas the hardness of the matrix was 250 HVN. The wear tests were performed using a ball-on-disc tribometer under 5 N load at room temperature and 500 °C on aluminized and untreated Mirrax steel. In both room temperature and high-temperature wear tests, it was determined that the aluminizing process increased the wear resistance of Mirrax steel. Increasing aluminizing time and temperature also increased the wear resistance. The uncoated and thin-coated samples generally exhibited wear in the form of plastic deformation and adhesion related ruptures. A high degree of tribological layer was observed on the wear trace on samples with high coating thickness, especially in high-temperature tests. Therefore, the volume losses in these samples were induced by fatigue crack formation and delamination.

Modern high-pressure turbine blades operate at high-speed conditions. The over-tip-leakage (OTL) flow can be high-subsonic or even transonic. From the consideration of problem simplification and cost reduction, the OTL flow has been studied extensively in low-speed experiments. It has been assumed a redesigned low-speed blade profile with a matched blade loading should be sufficient to scale the high-speed OTL flow down to the low-speed condition. In this paper, the validity of this conventional scaling approach is computationally examined. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methodology was first validated by experimental data conducted in both high- and low-speed conditions. Detailed analyses on the OTL flows at high- and low-speed conditions indicate that, only matching the loading distribution with a redesigned blade cannot ensure the match of the aerodynamic performance at the low-speed condition with that at the high-speed condition. Specifically, the discrepancy in the peak tip leakage mass flux can be as high as 22%, and the total pressure loss at the low-speed condition is 6% higher than the high-speed case. An improved scaling method is proposed hereof. As an additional dimension variable, the tip clearance can also be “scaled” down from the high-speed to low-speed case to match the cross-tip pressure gradient between pressure and suction surfaces. The similarity in terms of the overall aerodynamic loss and local leakage flow distribution can be improved by adjusting the tip clearance, either uniformly or locally.

Video lotteries seem to be one of the most profitable games for the gambling industry and are reported as the game of choice for many problem gamblers. Their popularity or, in some cases, their addictiveness, might be related to their structural characteristics: reinforcement schedule, lights, appearance, sound, and speed. We investigated the effects of video lottery game speed on concentration, motivation to play, loss of control, and number of games played. Forty-three participants were randomly assigned to either a high-speed (5 seconds) or a low-speed (15 seconds) condition. Results: gamblers in the high-speed condition played more games and underestimated the number of games played more than did participants in the low-speed condition. However, speed did not influence concentration, motivation, or loss of control over time or money. Conclusion: speed has a limited impact on occasional video lottery gamblers. The theoretical and practical implications of speed are discussed in the context of responsible gambling policies.

Montmorillonite (MMT) modified asphalts are prepared by melt blending with the help of high-speed shear mixer. The dispersion of MMT layers in the asphalt matrix are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The effect of different contents of MMT on physical properties of the base asphalt is studied. These properties include penetration, softening point and ductility. The results indicate that MMT/asphalt may form a nanocomposite structure with MMT layers intercalated by the asphalt molecules. MMT can improve the high temperature performance and temperature sensitivity of the base asphalt. And it can slightly reduce the low temperature performances of matrix asphalt. It is found that low temperature performances, high temperature performance and temperature sensitivity of the modified system achieved balance when the content of MMT is 4 wt%.

The deteriorating ecological environment and the concept of sustainable development have highlighted the importance of waste reuse. This article investigates the performance changes resulting from the incorporation of shellac into asphalt binders. Seashell powder-modified asphalt was prepared with 5%, 10%, and 15% admixture using the high-speed shear method. The microstructure of the seashell powder was observed by scanning electron microscope test (SEM); the physical-phase analysis of the seashell powder was carried out using an X-ray diffraction (XRD) test; the surface characteristics and pore structure of shellac were analyzed by the specific surface area Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) test; and Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) qualitatively analyzed the composition and changes of functional groups of seashell powder-modified asphalt. The conventional performance index of seashell powder asphalt was analyzed by penetration, softening point, and ductility (5 °C) tests; the effect of seashell powder on asphalt binder was studied using a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and bending beam rheometer (BBR) at high and low temperatures, respectively. The results indicate the following: seashell powder is a coarse, porous, and angular CaCO3 bio-material; seashell powder and the asphalt binder represent a stable physical mixture of modified properties; seashell powder improves the consistency, hardness, and high-temperature performance of the asphalt binder but weakens the low-temperature performance of it; seashell powder enhances the elasticity, recovery performance, and permanent deformation resistance of asphalt binders and improves high-temperature rheological properties; finally, seashell powder has a minimal effect on the crack resistance of asphalt binders at very low temperatures. In summary, the use of waste seashells for recycling as bio-modifiers for asphalt binders is a practical approach.

Modern High Pressure Turbine (HPT) blades operate at high speed conditions. The Over-Tip-Leakage (OTL) flow, which plays a major role in the overall loss generation for HPT, can be high-subsonic or even transonic. In practice from the consideration of problem simplification and cost reduction, the OTL flow has been studied extensively in low speed experiments. It has been assumed a redesigned low speed blade profile with a matched blade loading should be sufficient to scale the high speed OTL flow down to the low speed condition. In this paper, the validity of this conventional scaling approach is computationally examined. The CFD methodology was firstly validated by experimental data conducted in both high and low speed conditions. Detailed analyses on the OTL flows at high and low speed conditions indicate that, only matching the loading distribution with a redesigned blade cannot ensure the match of the aerodynamic performance at the low speed condition with that at the high-speed condition. Specifically, the discrepancy in the peak tip leakage mass flux can be as high as 22.2%, and the total pressure loss at the low speed condition is 10.7% higher than the high speed case. An improved scaling method is proposed hereof. As an additional dimension variable, the tip clearance can also be “scaled” down from the high speed to low speed case to match the cross-tip pressure gradient between pressure and suction surfaces. The similarity in terms of the overall aerodynamic loss and local leakage flow distribution can be improved by adjusting the tip clearance, either uniformly or locally. The limitations of this proposed method are also addressed in this paper.

Structural changes in tridymite have been investigated by molecular dynamics simulation. Two thermal processes were carried out, one cooling from the high-temperature hexagonal structure of tridymite (HP-tridymite) and the other heating from the low-temperature monoclinic structure of tridymite (MX1-tridymite). The former process showed that HP, LHP (low-temperature hexagonal structure), OC (orthorhombic structure withC2221symmetry) and OP (orthorhombic structure withP212121symmetry)-like structures appeared in sequence. In contrast, the latter process showed that MX1, OP, OC, LHP and HP-like structures appeared in sequence. Detailed analysis of the calculated structures showed that the configuration underwent stepwise changes associated with several characteristic modes. First, the structure of HP-tridymite determined from diffraction experiments was identified as a time-averaged structure in a similar manner to β-cristobalite, thus indicating the important role of floppy modes of oxygen atoms at high temperature – one of the common features observed in silica crystals and glass. Secondly, the main structural changes were ascribed to a combination of distortion of the six-membered rings in the layers and misalignment between layers. We suggest that the slowing down of floppy oxygen movement invokes the multistage emergence of structures with lower symmetry on cooling. This study therefore not only reproduces the sequence of the main polymorphic transitions in tridymite, except for the appearance of the monoclinic phase, but also explains the microscopic dynamic structural changes in detail.

Adhesion Properties

We present new Si to Si, SiO2 to SiO2 bonding technologies for low temperature applications (<200°C). Direct bonding process between Si (or SiO2) substrates makes high bonding strength without contamination problems. However, high temperature over 1000°C is needed for the reliable Si to Si and SiO2 to SiO2 direct bonding processes. To reduce the bonding temperature, thin siloxane layer and low-powered oxygen plasma treatment was used in this study. We used dimethyl siloxane layer having siloxane chains (-Si-O-)n and methyl ends. Siloxane layer is able to be bonded strongly with Si-based substrates at low temperature (<200°C) when oxygen plasma is treated on it. Polymerized siloxane layer such as PDMS has much higher coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of 300ppm/K than Si of 2.6ppm/K. When the bonded structure is cooled or heated, the interfaces is possibly distorted and cracked by the high residual stress between siloxane layer and Si substrate. To solve these problems, we developed new fabrications of reducing the siloxane layer thickness to 3∼4nm, that is the monomer layer levels. Extremely thin thickness of siloxane layer prevented the problems of the CTE differences. The Si to Si bonding structure with siloxane layer showed strong adhesion properties in this study. The bonded body kept reliable bonding force when it was heated to high temperature (∼900°C). The feasible wafer-level bonding process was demonstrated. We investigated the siloxane layer thickness by TEM images. The bonding strength was confirmed by dicing test by 1mm and measured over 20MPa. We also expended this new development to SiO2 to SiO2 bonding structures. Low temperature bonding between non-Si substrates such as GaN was possible with thin siloxane layer when amorphous Si thin film was deposited on these substrates.
