Cold sprayed Cu/Invar alloy composite by D.L. Ouyang, Z.R. Wang, T. Yang, L.W. Zhang, D. Wu, W.F. Chen, Q. Hu, S. Guo

“…Both α and the thermal conductivity λ increased slightly due to the release of internal stress and recrystallization of Cu. α of the annealed composites basically agreed with the theoretical predication, but λ was far below the values predicted by the Hasselman–Johnson model, mostly because the Invar alloy had an extraordinarily large surface area caused by impact deformation. Even so, the cold-sprayed Cu/Invar alloy composites had clearly advantageous comprehensive performance than those prepared by the traditional sintering and melting methods. …”

Study on Interaction Mechanism of Natural Gas Pipe-Landslide System Reinforced by Micropile Groups Based on Model Test by Wei Guan, Honggang Wu, Daoyong Wu, Lin Tang, Hong Wei

“…The bending deformation of the perforated pipe micropile is large at the 1/4 position of the pile top from the pile bottom, and the deformation of the screw micropile near the sliding surface is serious. The pipeline welding port is the weak position of the pipeline; after the failure of the pile, the pipeline interface is first cracked, along the interface position along the two ends of the tear, and finally completely broken. …”
