Study on Susceptibility and Mechanism of Reheat Cracking in Welded Joint of Type 347 Austenitic Stainless Steel by Jianjun Wang, Shurong Yu

“…Based on study and analysis using microcosmic methods of optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, and energy spectrum analysis, it is found that welded joints of TP347 steel have a high reheat cracking susceptibility because the high temperature accelerates the diffusion of Cr, Nb, and impurity elements to the grain boundary, and a large quantity of carbides and low-melting-point eutectics are collected and precipitated at the grain boundary to reduce the plasticity of the grain boundary. …”

Semantic segmentation of 3D point cloud based on contextual attention CNN by Jun YANG, Jisheng DANG

“…Aiming at the under-segmentation of 3D point cloud semantic segmentation caused by the lack of contextual fine-grained information of the point cloud,an algorithm based on contextual attention CNN was proposed for 3D point cloud semantic segmentation.Firstly,the fine-grained features in local area of the point cloud were mined through the attention coding mechanism.Secondly,the contextual features between multi-scale local areas were captured by the contextual recurrent neural network coding mechanism and compensated with the fine-grained local features.Finally,the multi-head mechanism was used to enhance the generalization ability of the network.Experiments show that the mIoU of the proposed algorithm on the three standard datasets of ShapeNet Parts,S3DIS and vKITTI are 85.4%,56.7% and 38.1% respectively,which has good segmentation performance and good generalization ability.…”
