Characteristics of deep penetration laser welding of dissimilar metal Ni-based cast superalloy K418 and alloy steel 42CrMo

Experimental trials of autogenous deep penetration welding between dissimilar cast Ni-based superalloy K418 and alloy steel 42CrMo flat plates with 5.0 mm thickness were conducted using a 3 kW continuous wave (CW) Nd:YAG laser. The influences of laser output power, welding velocity and defocusing distance on the morphology, welding depth and width as well as quality of the welded seam were investigated. Results show that full keyhole welding is not formed on both K4.18 and 42CrMo side, simultaneously, due to the relatively low output power. Partial fusion is observed on the welded seam near 42CrMo side because of the large disparity of thermal-physical and high-temperature mechanical properties of these two materials. Tile rnicrohardness of the laser-welded joint was also examined and analyzed. It is suggested that applying negative defocusing in the range of Raylei length can increase the welding depth and improve tile coupling efficiency of the laser materials interaction.

Higher-order analysis of crack tip fields in elastic power-law hardening materials

A HIGHER-ORDER asymptotic analysis of a stationary crack in an elastic power-law hardening material has been carried out for plane strain, Mode 1. The extent to which elasticity affects the near-tip fields is determined by the strain hardening exponent n. Five terms in the asymptotic series for the stresses have been derived for n = 3. However, only three amplitudes can be independently prescribed. These are K1, K2 and K5 corresponding to amplitudes of the first-, second- and fifth-order terms. Four terms in the asymptotic series have been obtained for n = 5, 7 and 10; in these cases, the independent amplitudes are K1, K2 and K4. It is found that appropriate choices of K2 and K4 can reproduce near-tip fields representative of a broad range of crack tip constraints in moderate and low hardening materials. Indeed, fields characterized by distinctly different stress triaxiality levels (established by finite element analysis) have been matched by the asymptotic series. The zone of dominance of the asymptotic series extends over distances of about 10 crack openings ahead of the crack tip encompassing length scales that are microstructurally significant. Furthermore, the higher-order terms collectively describe a spatially uniform hydrostatic stress field (of adjustable magnitude) ahead of the crack. Our results lend support to a suggestion that J and a measure of near-tip stress triaxiality can describe the full range of near-tip states.

马铃薯Y病毒外壳蛋白基因的导入以及转基因马铃薯植株的大田攻毒

应用四种不同的马铃薯试管微型薯诱导体系生产试管微型薯，通过比较建立了—种有效的试管微型薯诱导系统。这种诱导系统使用液体培养基，具有试管微型薯发生频率高、薯块体积大和微型薯形成早的特点。同时，此系统使用的培养基成分成本低、方法简便以及所用设备简单，适用于容器内大批量生产马铃薯试管微型薯以及马铃薯种质资源的保存。 对银离子在马铃薯叶片组织培养过程中对愈伤组织诱导或芽分化和再生的影响作了研究。结果表明银离子通过抑制叶片组织培养过程中形成的乙烯与其受体的结合从而促进芽再生，但是其对叶片愈伤组织的诱导无显著效果。银离子的这些作用在通过同时应用2，4-D而明显表现出来。2，4-D通过促进乙烯的生物合成而降低银离子的促进作用，两者则通过对乙烯的调节而影响马铃薯叶片的愈伤组织诱导和芽分化再生。 将马铃薯Y病毒外壳蛋白基因通过根癌农杆菌双元载体系统导入马铃薯品种Desiree、K4和Favorita，获得了若干转基因株系。除了K4品种中—转化株系具有非正常生长形态外，其余转基因植株都生长发育正常。由此表明以根癌农杆菌介导的马铃薯转化中，构建于双元载体上的外源目的基因是随机进入并整合到受体细胞的染色体上。具有畸形生长性状的转基因植株的产生说明了PVY CP基因的整合可能干扰了控制正常生长发育、尤其是形态建成的基因表达。 在转化试验中，应用了试管微型薯薄片、茎切段和叶片三种外植体作为转化材料。对转化过程中农杆菌对外植体的侵染时间、共培养时间、外植体的类型以基因型对转化频率的影响作了比较研究。发现以试管微型薯薄片和茎切段作为受体的最佳侵染时间是十分钟，而叶片则为五分钟，三种外植体的最佳共培养时间皆为四天。在各种处理的最佳条件下，Desiree比K4具有相对较高的转化频率，表明马铃薯Desiree比K4在转化反应上更温和或顺从。 通过比较几种由不同统计得出的农杆菌介导的转化频率，认为使用“净转换频率”(Net Transformation Frequency)能更精确地表达马铃薯的转化效率。而在以前的报导中还没有—种统一的、并且能被广泛接受和使用的表达转化效率的参数或指标。． 以叶片作为起始材料的转化具有较高的转化频率。在转化外植体的植株再生过程中应用了2，4-D和AgN03两种乙烯调节剂分别于愈伤组织诱导和芽分化再生阶段，使其产生高频的植株再生。尤其是它的净化频率明显高于其它外植体的转化频率，并且无显著品种之间的差异，具有高效马铃薯转化系统的特征。 以聚合酶链式反应(PCR)检测转化再生植株得到的结果与DNA杂交(Southern blot analysis)的鉴定结果比较，结论是相同的。由此表明在以农杆菌介导的马铃薯转化试验中，PCR可被用于证实外源目的DNA的导入，它以简便、迅速的特点帮助节省时间以及提供及时的转化证据。 对三个马铃薯品种的一系列转基因株系在大田条件下进行了攻毒试验．最后从Favorita 品种中筛选出了两个抗性较强的无性系，它们具有明显较低的病毒侵染发生频率以及正常的生长发育性状，具有很大潜力成为生产上推广应用的抗病新品种。
