Tantalum in the RAFM steel plays an important role in lowering DBTT through its effect on prior-austenitic grain refinement [3].
Peak tensile stress at the half-life (i.e. at half of the number of cycles to failure) was taken as saturation or half-life stress and the cycle number corresponding to a drop of 20 % from the half-life stress was defined as fatigue life.
A comparison of fractographs of the samples tested at ambient and 823 K (550oC) temperatures indicates comparatively larger number of crack initiating sites at elevated temperatures, as illustrated in Fig. 5 (a) and (b).

Subsequent research will consider using surface modification agent of nanometer TiO2 surface was modified to increase its in nitro paint evenly dispersed, thereby Step to improve the wear resistance of the coating. 2.2 Effect of nanometer titanium dioxide on adhesion and hardness of coating film Table 2 Effection of nano-TiO2 on the adhesion and hardness of the coatings Experiment number 1 2 3 4 adhesion 1 1 1 1 Pencil hardness 2B 2B 2B 2B From table 2 can be seen, nano titanium dioxide added amount had no significant influence on the adhesion and hardness of the film, adhesion were grade 1 and hardness are 2B.
Nano TiO2 didn't join the both inside and outside of the film stress adverse effects, and the surface of a large number of hydroxyl groups and unsaturated residual bond in the film drying process , and coatings can be reactive group forms a hydrogen bond with the double bond cross-linking and keep the excellent adhesion level.
Without adding TiO2 nanoparticles, cross grain and Shun print gloss is 46%.

Cylinder and measuring point’s number are shown in Fig. 2.
The number of residual stress in each side of top or bottom has decreased gradually in first three cylinders.
Oppositely, this trend was moved towards the contrary direction: There is a rapid increase in the number of residual stress in cylinder D.
The impact of variations in casting practice on grain size and stress level is envisaged for future studies.

Over the years, investigators tried to obtain accurate material characteristics under high impact loading with various experimental methods and come up with a number of material constitutive equations.
In order to obtain the material characteristics under high strain rate, a number of test methods have been proposed, one of which is using a Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB).
A number of common structural steels were selected for SHPB tests, i.e.
From various literatures, these effects are described as a result of grain internal friction during high strain rate deformation.

DV-Hop is a range-free and distributed node localization scheme, and its primary localization elements are average hop-size and number of hop counts.
Some necessary formulae are given as follows: , and, and (6) , and , (7) where n is the number of beacons attending the unknown node’s position derivation.
The number of beacons participating in each unknown node’s position derivation is fixed as 4, and each unknown node uses the nearest 4 beacons’ information to implement the localization scheme.

According to the particles theory and the compact stack model, DSP is a kind of high close-grained material through the particles reasonably accumulating and the chemical reactions in particles, and composed of 70~80% cement, 20~30% ultrafine materials smaller than cement by l~2 orders of magnitude, super-plasticizer and water.
On the other hand, ultrafine particles such as silicon ash and nano-silicon can fill the interface pores, modify the pore structure and improve the adhesion strength and the durability of the cement stone interface, and a large number of C-S-H gel can also make the constituents bond closely, which can reduce the weakness of the interfaces and improve the density of the interfaces.

2.1.3 Superplasticizer
A polycarboxylate-based superplasticizer was used for all concrete mixes.
As to the ratio of two kinds of cements, it was also set to be a fixed number.
Conclusions 1) The proposed orthogonal experiment method in concrete mix proportion design has the capacity to reduce the number of trial and error, save cost, laborers and time.
In the meanwhile, the appropriate result is attainable. 2) A number of parameters have impacts on compressive strength and workability of concrete, for example, water-cement ratio, aggregate size, mud content of aggregate, etc., among which the dominant ones selected as factors are water-cement ratio, cement content, superplasticizer content and sand ratio. 3) Cement content and sand ratio are the most influential factors on slump and 10h compressive strength, respectively. 4) An optimized concrete mix for precast concrete members in building industrialization is determined. 5) The research of long-term properties of the optimized concrete mix is planned to be carried out in the future.
