Analysis and prediction of copper surface roughness obtained by selective laser melting

The paper presents the results of experimental studies of the effect of mechanoactivation of the powder, argon shielding gas and the effect of technological modes of melting: the speed of the laser beam, the power of laser radiation, the scanning step, the preliminary temperature of heating the powder material on the surface roughness of the copper powder material obtained by selective laser melting. Experiments on the melting of copper powder are implemented on the installation of layer-by-layer laser melting of the original design, which allows to adjust all technological modes of melting. The surface roughness is determined on the non-contact digital microscope Olympus LEXT OLS4100. The mathematical dependence of the surface layer roughness of copper powder on the technological modes of melting is obtained on the basis of the theory of experiment planning and static processing of the results. The significant parameters of the regime-the power of laser radiation, the speed of the laser beam, the scanning step affecting the roughness of the layer. The positive effect of mechanical activation of powder material and protective atmosphere on the quality of the surface layer is shown

Artificial olfactory system for multi-component analysis of gas mixtures.

Gas analysis is an important part of our world and gas sensing technology is becoming more essential for various aspects of our life. A novel approach for gas mixture analysis by using portable gas chromatography in combination with an array of highly integrated and selective metal oxide (MOX) sensors has been studied. We developed a system with small size (7 x 13 x 16 inches), low power consumption (~10 W) and absence of special carrier gases designed for portable field analysis (assuming apriori calibration). Low ppb and even sub-ppb level of detection for some VOCs was achieved during the analysis of 50 ml of gas samples. A detailed description of our innovative design of multi-sensory platforms based on MOX sensors for multidimensional portable gas chromatography is provided in detail in this work. As a part of this effort, we successfully synthesized nanocomposite gas sensors based on SnO2 for selective detection of hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, alcohols, ketones and heavy hydrocarbons. The morphology of the prepared sensors was closely studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), transition electron microscopy (TEM) and X-Ray diffraction (XRD). Optical and electrical properties of polycrystalline SnO2 were investigated by using UV-Vis spectroscopy, transmission line measurement (TLM) and four probe resistance measurement techniques. Furthermore, more advanced gas sensing performance for detection of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and O-xylene (BTEX) of polycrystalline SnO2 film (30 nm) coated with bimetal Au:Pd (9:1 molar ratio) nanoclusters was measured. Finally, besides the experimental result, the theoretical validation of the detector’s performance was provided based on high catalytic activity of nanocomposite materials and its superior electronic structure for gas detection compared to the polycrystalline SnO2. The theoretical background of gas chemisorption process at the surface of polycrystalline SnO2 was reviewed in this work. Furthermore, one dimensional Poisson equation relates surface energy states ( and ) and the bulk electronic structure ( and ) of polycrystalline SnO2. The main theory of electronic processes on the surface of semiconductors during the gas chemisorption was further applied in a case of nanocomposite materials

Improving the accuracy of determining the character saturation reservoirs on the results of log interpretation in the oil field "K"(Tomsk region)

Log interpretation has revealed a number of factors that have a significant impact on the determination of reservoir fluid content (oil saturation factor). The presented research paper is focused on the analysis of petrophysical properties of reservoir fluids considering laboratory studies of core samples. Based on core sample analysis, data of laboratory studies have been correlated to estimates of radioactive logging and high-frequency induction logging. To determine the oil saturation factor a method which considers the effect of mixed clay on reservoir fluid saturation has been proposed
