Introduction Similar to nature diamond, CVD diamond also shows excellent properties such as high hardness, good wear resistance, low friction coefficient and high thermal conductivity.
The CVD diamond films with a smaller grain size showed a better mechanical property and a better adhesion with the substrate.
The factors affecting the CVD diamond deposition include deposition atmosphere, temperature, substrate, etc [4，5].

The suitable process conditions of preparing the blend films with good water-resistance and mechanical properties were determined by single-factor experiments.
SEM, FT-IR, TGA and DSC analysis were performed to examine the contribution of LS and borax to the properties of the blend films.
Each value of mechanical properties reported was an average of three specimens.
Results and discussion Mechanical properties The effects of the LS content on the tensile strength (σb) and elongation at break (εb) for the blend films were shown in Fig.1.

The biological and mechanical properties of the bone tissues depend on the morphology and organized structure of HAp crystals.
Since morphology of HAp crystals formed under hydrothermal condition are affected by some factors such as solubility of a starting material, processing temperature pH of solvent and additives in the solvent [4], the condition on the formation of the oriented structure has not been clarified yet.
In the present study, we focused on difference of reactivity of crystal planes because the HAp formation on calcite single crystals might be affected by the dissolution rate of each plane in a phosphate solution.
The HAp formation is affected by dissolution rate of calcite.

The impact of hardened steel milling surface structure on mould service load Minli Zheng1,a, Jinhui Xu1,b , Wei Zhang1,2,c, Zhaoxing Zhang1, Tong Wu1 1College of Mechanical and Power Engineering, Harbin University Science And Technology, Harbin in Heilongjiang province 150080, China 2Measurement-control Technology and Instrument Key Laboratory of Universities in Heilongjiang province, Harbin University Science And Technology, Harbin in Heilongjiang province 150080, China aemail:minli@hrbust.edu.cn, bemail:583391331@qq.com, cemail:zhangwei1977@hrbust.edu.cn Keywords: hardened steel; milling surface structure; numerical simulation; service load Abstract.
Mould surface loading state is one of the most important factors which would affect the mould performance in the course of service.
Milling surface integrity seriously affects the service performance of hardened steel, mould failure behavior such as wear and fatigue which not only depend on the material properties, but also relate to the load state[1-4].
It can be seen from table 4 that machining parameters will affect the density of machined surface geometry structure.
Through the above analysis, it can be know that the mould machined surface load distribution is seriously affectted by the change of surface geometry structure.

Therefore, because of many factors affected the performance of cement soil, such as varieties of cement, strength class, mixing ratio, age as well as the surrounding environment, it is very necessary for many researches to carry out the experiments on the physical performance and mechanical property of cement soil.
Xiaodong Tong, Jun Wang, Xiaolei Ji, Renwang Liang and Xiaoqiang Dong [5-6] have carried out several experimental study of the mechanical property of the cement soil.
However, because the cement soil tends to be used in the pits anti-seepage, embankment impermeable walls, and bears the erosion and seepage of groundwater, it is particularly important to evaluate how the groundwater seepage will affect the cement soil physical and mechanical parameters and how long the cement soil engineering will be in use.
The mixing ratio of cement soil The tested cement soil of undisturbed soil taken from silty clay in a road based in Shenyang City, which is soft plastic state in the natural state, and its main physical properties of the indicators are shown in Table 1.
In short, cement soil initial void ratio was affected by the infiltration time.

Most strength and fatigue properties available are in L-T orientation [1].
To understand the factors leading to crack branching in 7050-T7451, further experimental investigations are conducted and reported in this paper.
The mechanical properties are also available in [1], i.e. tensile Strength 510 MPa, yield strength 441MPa, elongation 9%, KIC values for thin plate (25-51 mm) L-T 31.9 MPa, T-L 27.5 MPa, S-L N/A and for thick plate (127-152 mm) L-T 26.4 MPa, T-L 24.2 MPa, S-L 23.1 MPa.
DK. da/dN was computed by incremental polynomial method, and the corresponding stress intensity factors were calculated using the expression recommended by ASTM E647 (2011).
The tests in this study show that (1) under CA loading conditions, the DK-levels that dominant the changing points of the da/dN~DK curve, see Fig.2, agree quite well with the result of Schubbe; (2) DK is not the only factor which affected the crack splitting, see Fig. 5, macro-noticeable crack splitting appears only in the high R ratio condition; (3) the tests under constant DK of R =0.5 indicates that R is not the only factor which affected the crack splitting either, see Fig. 6 and 4, remarkable macro-level crack splitting was not observed in the high R ratio test of DK= 15 MPa.

Pilliar reported that CPP exhibited better mechanical properties and degradability compared with HA [3, 4].
A universal testing machine was used to characterize the mechanical property at room temperature.
It indicated that the presence of Ca2P2O7 affected the CPP crystallization, and induced the amorphous CPP to transfer to crystalline CPP.
The XRD results show that the Ca/P ratios were important factors in phase structures of the ground powders and sintered ceramics, and there was obvious interaction between [Ca(PO3)2]n and Ca2P2O7 in sintering process.
Figure 3 indicated that sintering temperature and Ca/P ratios had significant influence on the mechanical properties of the ceramics.
