Abstract.
The research has indicated that one of the structural characteristics in semisolid alloy with good forming properties has certain amount of particle-like primary grain in the alloy [1].
Discussion During formation and growth of semisolid microstructure, because of affecting by preparing condition and external physical field (for example pouring temperature, stirring power, stirring time, isothermal holding, ultrasonic or mechanical disturbance, addition of modifier and so on), there will be change on the morphology, size and structure for primary grain, at the same time, there is other change, included growth and migration of the grain, even fuse and separation of the grain to make morphology of the grain change.
There are the numerous complicated factors affecting the morphology during evolution of the primary grain morphology in semisolid A356 alloy, in which they are nonlinear in essence.

Superduplex stainless steel alloy exhibit high mechanical and corrosion resistance, which main industrial application is in the petrochemical industry.
A good combination of properties is reached when the volumetric fractions of the ferrite (δ) and austenite (γ) phases are around 50/50 [3,4].
Welding in these materials is an important factor to be considered since the high temperatures achieved associated with a rapid cooling can alter volumetric fractions of the ferrite and austenite phases, as well as promote the formation of undesirable phases such as chromium nitrides, carbides, and sigma.
Low levels of ferrite (<25%) or high (>75%) may lead to decreased mechanical properties and corrosion resistance [5].
The microhardness measurement in welded joints is one of the main characterization techniques providing information of the hardness profile along the 3 zones, base metal (BM), heat-affected zone (HAZ) and fusion zone (FZ).

For example, the organic polymer itself has a low dielectric constant, but the mechanical properties and thermal properties are poor, the adhesion force of which combined with the substrate is not strong, and to be unable to bear high temperature.
Through using different methods the low dielectric constants of PI film or particles are synthesized to have a variety of different structures and different properties, but the dielectric properties of prepared PI materials (including PI composites containing voids) still can’t reach the requirement of the development of electronics industry, and when the dielectric constant is reduced to 2.5 after the following the introduced void volume ratio of PI group is very high, resulting in the mechanical and thermal properties PI significantly reduced [9,10].
In addition, the mechanical properties and processing characteristics are the important parameters in determining the dielectric properties of materials.
A dielectric material for the large scale integrated circuit must meet the following basic requirements [18]: (1) a low dielectric constant with isotropic properties; (2) low moisture absorption; (3) excellent chemical resistance and heat resistance; (4) a good processing performance; (5) excellent electrical properties.
For example, add 0.5~2% of the ultrafine silica in PVC, it can obviously reduce the dielectric constant and dielectric loss factor. [19] The properties of low dielectric constant make the nanometer silica particles to be used for interlayer dielectric materials, which is widely used as a kind of dielectric materials with low loss.

Introduction
Gear is one of the most important components of mechanical products.
The quality of its design and manufacture will affect its performance directly.
Many factors can impact the reliability of gears because of complex structures and changeable conditions.
The Strength Calculation of Cylindrical Gear Pairs In reliability analysis, the uncertainty in a system mainly comes from two aspects, which are statistical and non-statistical factors.
Variations of material properties and boundary conditions and errors in manufacturing and installation lead to randomness of physical and geometrical properties of the structure.
