Jia Na, Zhang Chunpu, Wang Chunxin, Yu Benjun, and Liu Jiuqing
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology was employed to conduct single-pass monolayer scanning experiments on cobalt tungsten carbide alloy powder under, exploring various combinations of process parameters.

Analysis of the single-pass width variation under different parameters, particularly focusing on lap rate and energy density, elucidated the formation mechanism of monolayer surface morphology. The effects of laser power, scanning speed, and scanning pitch on roughness were investigated using the Super Depth of Field 3D Microscope System. Additionally, the cross-sectional morphology was examined via Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), with elemental distribution analyzed using SEM's attached energy spectrometer. Results revealed that laser power and scanning speed predominantly influenced monolayer width through line energy density, with higher line energy density resulting in wider monolayer width. In the process of monolayer formation, the lap rate emerged as a pivotal factor in monolayer morphology, with higher lap rates correlating with lower overall surface roughness. Various process parameters affect the lap rate of the monolayer, thereby impacting its morphology. Laser power and scanning speed influence single-channel width, consequently affecting the lap rate within the same scanning spacing. Additionally, a certain combination of laser power and scanning speed directly affects the lap rate of the monolayer when the laser scanning spacing is fixed. Agglomeration of tungsten (W) elements within the monolayer cross-section was observed, potentially impacting surface quality. Optimal surface quality, with a roughness of 6.05 μm, was achieved at a laser power of 420 W, scanning speed of 500 mm·s-1, scanning spacing of 125 μm, and powder layer thickness of 40 μm..

Zhang Yuhang, Yin Ming, Li Wei, Xiang Jin, and Ding Xinyu
Laser melting deposition (LMD) has the potential to achieve high-performance manufacturing of complex components, however, its process is affected by multiple factors, and ensuring the stability and consistency of the component formation process can be challenging. Existing control schemes include physical model-based Laser melting deposition (LMD) has the potential to achieve high-performance manufacturing of complex components, however, its process is affected by multiple factors, and ensuring the stability and consistency of the component formation process can be challenging. Existing control schemes include physical model-based and data-driven approaches. Considering the difficulty in establishing accurate mechanistic models to describe the complex LMD process, data-driven methods are employed for controller design. For the layer-by-layer processing principle of multi-layer LMD process, this study proposes a controller based on the Model-Free Adaptive Iterative Learning Control (MFAILC) algorithm. As an intelligent control strategy, MFAILC has the ability to control complex and time-varying systems with repetitive running characteristics and has been applied in various fields. Multiple experiments were conducted on a home-built LMD system, and the thermal imaging camera integrated with the system was used to collect and extract the temperature of the melt pool. To tune the controller parameters, a neural network model based on the experimental dataset was constructed to simulate the process. The designed MFAILC controller is validated by printing experiments based on typical annular thin-walled specimens. Compared with the experiments under constant parameters, the range of deposition height and width of the annular thin-walled structure printed using the MFAILC controller was reduced by 28.6% and 15.4%, respectively, and the MAE was reduced by 31.5% and 48.8%, respectively, and the RMSE was reduced by 33.4% and 35.0%, respectively. The experimental results and comparative analysis show that the designed MFAILC controller can effectively improve the stability of the process and the quality attributes of manufactured parts..

The cross-sectional morphology of the cladding layers was examined using an industrial microscope, while their microstructure and phase composition were characterized by SEM, EDS, and XRD analyses. The hardness, abrasion resistance, and corrosion resistance of the cladding layers were evaluated using a microhardness tester, a multifunctional friction grinder, and an electrochemical workstation. The results show that both types of cladding layers have good metallurgical bonding with the substrate, and the dilution rates of Stellite6 and Stellite6+5% B4C cladding layers are 23% and 47%, respectively. Under the combined effect of fine grain strengthening, solid solution strengthening, and second phase strengthening, the hardness of the Stellite6+5%B4C cladding layer reaches 895.73 HV, which is 3.38 times that of the substrate. The addition of B4C reduces the friction coefficient from 0.55 to 0.46, significantly reduces the wear depth and width, and reduces the wear amount by 84%. The Stellite6+5% B4C cladding layer has the highest self corrosion potential, the lowest self corrosion current, and the best corrosion resistance..

ThTo address the challenges related to poor wear resistance, high friction coefficient, inadequate grinding performance, and low hardness of TC4 titanium alloy, this study aims to enhance its applicability. Composite coatings were fabricated on TC4 substrate using varying proportions of Ni60 powder and Ni/MoS2 powder. The impact of different powder ratios on coating quality was assessed through analyses of coating morphology, microhardness, and friction reduction performance. Experiments show that the macroscopic morphology of the prepared composite coating is well formed, but its cross-sectional morphology changes from gentle to excessive to convex at the junction of the cladding layer and the substrate with the increase of Ni/MoS2 content, and defects such as porosity and cracks appear. Coating microhardness and Ni/MoS2 addition is positive correlation, friction coefficient and Ni/MoS2 addition of the first decline and then rise trend, comprehensive comparison, when the addition of Ni/MoS2 mass fraction of 0.2 can obtain a more excellent composite coating, the microhardness of the coating can reach 950—1 000 HV, about 2.8 times the TC4 substrate, and the coating friction coefficient is reduced to 1/3 of the friction coefficient of TC4 substrate. These findings demonstrate that the proposed experimental approach effectively mitigates the low hardness and poor wear resistance issues of TC4 titanium alloy in practical applications..

The influence of the distance between the laser and the wire on weld bead formation was investigated, and high-speed photography was used to observe and analyze the behavior of droplet transfer and molten pool flow during the welding process. The results show that as the distance between the laser and the wire increases, the coupling effect of the two heat sources gradually weakens, the molten pool in the keyhole area gradually separates from the arc action area, the keyhole becomes unstable, and the flow behavior of the molten metal fluctuates significantly. When DLA (Distance between Laser and Arc) is 4 mm, the best weld bead formation is achieved; when DLA is 0, 2 mm, the weld has defects such as spatter and undercut; when DLA is 6, 8, 10 mm, the weld formation has defects such as depression, porosity, and hump. As DLA increases from 0 mm to 10 mm, the frequency of short-circuit transition first decreases and then increases, and the laser′s hindrance effect on the jet transition gradually weakens until it disappears..

The mechanical properties of welded joints were studied by microhardness tester, electronic universal material tester and metal pendulum impact tester. The test results show that the weld is well formed and no welding defects occur under different technological parameters. The microstructures of weld seams are all δ ferrite+austenite, but the morphology and quantity of δ ferrite change. With the increase of defocusing amount, the grain in weld zone is gradually refined, and the microhardness of weld zone is improved, which is higher than that of HR-2 base metal. In the three-point bending test, the bending positions all appear on the HR-2 base metal side, indicating that the welded joint has good plasticity. When defocusing is 10mm, vermicular ferrite in weld zone improves weld toughness and the impact toughness reaches the maximum..

In recent years, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with LiDAR for power inspection has received widespread attention. However, the point cloud data obtained from inspections are massive, requiring more intelligent point cloud automation processing methods. Therefore, this paper proposes an automatic semantic segmentation method based on deep learning networks for LiDAR point clouds of power corridors to extract targets such as power lines and trees for hazard analysis. For vegetation and power line distance measurement in safety hazard detection, a projection-based power line fitting algorithm is designed. Additionally, a projection-based tree height detection algorithm is proposed for tree height measurement. Experiments conducted on LiDAR point cloud data provided by power grid companies demonstrate that the proposed semantic segmentation algorithm achieves an average accuracy of 84.92% across six different power corridor scenarios, with key point clouds like power lines, vegetation, and poles exceeding 90% accuracy. The tree height measurement error is confined within ±0.5 meters, and the distance detection algorithm accurately identifies danger points based on predefined safety margins..

In this paper, a multi-parameter combined tree height estimation method based on multiple linear model is proposed. In this method, the height of Metasequoia glyptostroboides is estimated by multiple linear model with different parameter combinations, which improves the accuracy of tree height estimation and solves the problem of low goodness of fit of tree height estimated by single parameter model. In addition，in this paper a multi-time series Metasequoia street tree dataset is introduced and tested it through this method. The experimental results show that the goodness of fit between tree height and actual tree height obtained by the combination of diameter at breast height and subbranch height in multi-parameter combination is 0.984. Compared to the single parameter models, the goodness of fit increases by 0.3 to 0.4. Based on the parameters of individual tree structures, the accuracy of tree height estimation improves by approximately 30% to 40%, and the estimated growth trend aligns with that of mature Metasequoia forests..

Utilizing such incomplete data directly can compromise the quality and precision of subsequent modeling and reconstruction processes. Consequently, hole repair is a critical step. This paper presents an enhanced radial basis function (RBF) algorithm for repairing point cloud data, which improves upon the accuracy and speed of the original method, making it particularly suitable for repairing convex models. This algorithm implemented in Visaual Studio 2019, repairs point cloud holes by detecting hole boundaries, initializing grids, least squares grids, establishing implicit surfaces, and adjusting points to implicit surfaces. Experiments show that this method can fill the holes on the surface well, and the repair position remains smooth with the original area, which can be applied to the repair of indoor irregular objects, caves and tunnels..

Methods: Clinical datafrom 57 patients with multiple primary NMIBC treated at the Department of Urology, Shantou Central Hospital from October 2020 to July 2022 were analyzed. Of these, 25 patients underwent 1 470 nm laser en bloc resection, and 32 underwent TURBT. Both groups received identical postoperative maintenance bladder irrigation chemotherapy. Perioperative clinical characteristics, specimen quality, perioperative complications, and recurrence rates were recorded and compared. Results: There were no differences with the preoperative characteristics between the patients in the two groups. The 1 470 nm laser group was superior than the TURBT group in terms of the postoperative bladder irrigation time（0.88±0.14 vs 1.24±0.53）, obturator nerve reflection（4% vs 21.82%）and bladder perforation（0 vs 15.64%）, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Detrusor was found in 88% of the 1 470 nm laser group and 46.87% of the pathological specimens in the TURBT group (P<0.05). After a mean follow-up of 10.8 (10-18) months, the recurrence rates outside the wound margin were 12% in laser group and 12.5% in TURBT group, and the in situ recurrence rates were 8% and 9.37% respectively. The recurrence rate did not differ significantly between two groups. Conclusions: The study indicates that 1 470 nm laser en bloc resection is a viable, safe, and effective alternative treatment for primary multiple non-muscle-invasive bladder tumors..
