To explore the effect of laser scanning speed on the microstructure and performance of Cr3C2-NiCr cermet layers fabricated by in-situ laser cladding, Cr3C2-NiCr cermet layers were laser cladded from Ni/Cr/Graphite (25:65:10 wt.%) elemental powder mixtures. The microstructures of the laser cladded cermet layers and the formation mechanism were investigated. In addition, the effect of laser scanning speed on the microstructure, friction and corrosion performance of the Cr3C2-NiCr cermet layers was studied. The results indicated that the in-situ laser cladded Cr3C2-NiCr cermet layers were composed of NiCr binder and Cr3C2. The laser scanning speed had a significant influence on the carbide content, composition and size. Furthermore, it affected the in-situ laser cladded cermet layer’s hardness and wear resistance. The corrosion resistance of the in-situ laser cladded cermet layer was superior to that of laser cladded nickel-based alloy and was improved with decreasing laser scanning speed.

The heat transfer performance of Flat micro heat pipe (FMHP) is mainly determined by liquid absorption capacity of the wick. A chemical-free laser selective micro-texture technology is proposed for the fabrication of FMHP. Series of samples with different widths of the superhydrophobic-superhydrophilic spacing stripes were prepared by laser micro texturing, and their transport capacity was tested. Scanning electron microscope, three-dimensional optical profiling, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscope techniques were used to characterize the surfaces, and the mechanism of accelerating liquid reflux was investigated. Two samples with the same spacing width were used to make FMHPs. The heat transfer performance of each group of FMHPs was tested, including the start-up time, steady state temperature, and axial maximum temperature difference, and the corresponding thermal resistances were calculated. The results show that the width of superhydrophobic-superhydrophilic spacing stripes can affect the capillary force and hysteresis force during droplet transport, thereby affecting the droplet transport velocity, and in turn, influencing the heat transfer performance of the FMHP. Compared with most current flat micro heat pipes, the laser selective textured heat pipe with superhydrophobic-superhydrophilic stripes can significantly improve the heat transfer performance, and is promising for heat transfer applications in microelectronic equipment.

In order to study the connection performance of a new type of shear key to concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) frame column and precast shear wall, a numerical model is established by using the finite element software Abaqus, the mechanical properties of the combined shear wall are studied by the strength of post-poured concrete, the yield strength of the shear key steel and the spacing between the shearing bonds. The results show that the failure modes of specimens are mainly related to the strength of post-poured concrete and the yield strength of shear keys. When the specimens are damaged by shear bonds, the bearing capacity and ductility of the specimens increase obviously with the increase of the yield strength of the shear key steel and the shortening of the spacing between the shear keys. The change of strength of post-poured concrete has little effect on the working performance of specimens. When the specimens are damaged by post-poured concrete, the stiffness of the specimens is larger and the ductility is worse.
