COREX用煤成焦的高温性能研究

通过观察COREX块煤在成焦过程中所形成的不同煤焦的微观结构及形貌，分析了COREX所用两种煤成焦结构及性能的特点.借鉴高炉焦炭反应性及反应后强度的定义，提出以MCRI和MCSR来表示煤焦的反应性及反应后强度，并给出其物理意义.MCRI与MCSR主要是由煤焦显微结构的组成决定的.针对COREX所用的两种煤，对1100℃下不同成焦时间的煤焦反应性及反应后强度与微观结构进行多元线性回归，建立了预测COREX用煤成焦时煤焦热态性能的公式.由此推算了两种煤在600，800及1000℃条件下不同成焦时间的煤焦反应性及反应后强度，与实测值比较吻合.     

Development of liquid-nitrogen-cooling friction stir spot welding for AZ31 magnesium alloy joints

A liquid-nitrogen-cooling friction stir spot welding (C-FSSW) technology was developed for welding AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets. The liquid-nitrogen cooling degraded the deformability of the welded materials such that the width of interfacial cracks increased with increasing cooling time. The grain size of the stirred zone (SZ) and the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of the C-FSSW-welded joints decreased, whereas that of the thermomechanically affected zone (TMAZ) increased with increasing cooling time. The maximum tensile shear load of the C-FSSW-welded joints welded with a cooling time of 5 or 7 s was larger than that of the friction stir spot welding (FSSW)-welded joint, and the tensile shear load decreased with increasing cooling time. The microhardness of the C-FSSW-welded joints was greater than that of the FSSW-welded joint. Moreover, the microhardness of the SZ and the HAZ of the C-FSSW-welded joints increased, whereas that of the TMAZ decreased, with increasing cooling time.     

Effects of mechanical strain amplitude on the isothermal fatigue behavior of H13

Isothermal fatigue (IF) tests were performed on H13 tool steel subjected to three different mechanical strain amplitudes at a constant temperature to determine the effects of mechanical strain amplitude on the microstructure of the steel samples. The samples' extent of damage after IF tests was compared by observation of their cracks and calculation of their damage parameters. Optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to observe the microstructure of the samples. Cracks were observed to initiate at the surface because the strains and stresses there were the largest during thermal cycling. Mechanical strain accelerated the damage and softening of the steel. A larger mechanical strain caused greater deformation of the steel, which made the precipitated carbides easier to gather and grow along the deformation direction, possibly resulting in softening of the material or the initiation of cracks.     

一种含N低Ni经济型双相不锈钢的抗氢脆性能的研究

设计了一种新型低Ni经济型双相不锈钢，通过金相显微镜、X射线衍射仪和扫描电子显微镜对不同固溶温度处理后的试样进行表征，通过常规拉伸实验得到综合力学性能最佳的热处理温度点，并通过电化学预充氢后的慢应变速率拉伸实验探究了其氢脆敏感性能。实验表明，随着温度的升高，奥氏体体积分数明显下降，铁素体体积分数升高，氢在双相不锈钢中的扩散能力提高。在1 050 ℃下固溶处理5 min后水淬的经济型双相不锈钢（lean duplex stainless steel，LDSS）综合性能最佳，其屈服强度和抗拉强度分别为744.7 MPa和807.7 MPa，总伸长率为62%，并且该材料在不同温度都具有优异的加工硬化性能。通过对1 050 ℃热处理后的试样进行不同电流密度和时间的预充氢处理，发现其氢脆敏感性能受充氢时间影响大于充氢电流，氢原子主要在塑性变形阶段降低材料抗拉强度和伸长率，对屈服强度影响较小。

以WC-6Co为主体原料，通过添加不同含量的ZrO₂作为烧结助剂，采用SPS烧结技术制备出性能出众的WC-6Co硬质合金，研究了ZrO₂烧结助剂对硬质合金显微组织及力学性能的影响规律.结果表明:随着ZrO₂添加量的增加，试样的显微组织更加致密，相对密度更大，硬度和断裂韧性也有一定程度的增加.并且，当添加ZrO₂的质量分数为3%时，试样的相对密度达到96.7%，维氏硬度增加到20.28kN·mm^-2，断裂韧性增长到12.7MPa·mm^1/2，综合性能最优.研究发现，ZrO₂可以通过促进离子的扩散和颗粒的重排促进烧结，最终使得材料的相对密度和性能均得到提升.     

热输入对Q460钢焊接接头组织及拉伸变形行为的影响

以Q460钢为对象，研究了埋弧焊热输入对其接头组织及其拉伸变形行为的作用规律与机理.结果表明:接头HAZ宽度随热输入增加而增大，同时FZ柱状晶比例也增加，FZ靠近熔合线的组织明显细化，且FZ的软化得到改善.热输入对接头整体强度无明显影响，而断裂延伸率呈增加趋势.19.0kJ/cm下焊接接头FZ与HAZ界面的变形不协调，导致过早发生断裂.随热输入的增加，FZ组织细化，缓解了FZ与HAZ界面硬度差，提高了接头的塑性变形能力，拉伸断裂位置由FZ转移至BM.     

两相区轧制后淬火引入马氏体降低钢板屈强比

晶粒细化和分裂增韧可使两相区轧制的层状超细晶钢板具有高强度同时韧性优异.前期研究发现轧后空冷生成的层状超细晶钢板，存在屈强比偏高的问题，高达0.9.本研究通过轧后淬火在层状超细晶组织中引入马氏体的方法降低屈强比.研究发现，在750℃和810℃轧制后淬火，层状超细晶组织中可生成体积分数约为14%的马氏体.此部分马氏体使拉伸过程中呈现连续屈服行为，提高加工硬化率，使钢板的屈强比降至0.7以下，解决了屈强比偏高的问题.此外，实验钢在具有高强度的同时，韧性优良.

Can We Predict the Financial Markets Based on Google's Search Queries?

We look into the interaction of Google's search queries and several aspects of international equity markets. Using a novel methodology for selecting words and a vector autoregressive modeling approach, we study whether the search queries of finance‐related words can have an impact on returns, volatility of returns and traded volume in four different English‐speaking countries. We identify several words whose search frequency is associated with changes in the dependent variables. In particular, we find that increases in search queries including the word stock predict increased volatility and decreased index returns over the next week. On top of that, we investigate the performance of a market‐timing strategy based on the search frequency of this word and benchmark it against random words from the Word‐Net database and a naive buy‐and‐hold strategy. The results of this empirical application are positive and particularly stronger during the global crisis of 2009. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
