According to the results of particle flux measurement, the largest radian of the divergent particle stream is about 0.2. Within the measuring range, top speed of in-flight particles reached 800m/s. Particle acceleration was accomplished within 4cm down stream of the nozzle. Average particle velocity (about 450m/s) exceeded local sound speed (340m/s) even at a mean standoff distance of 17cm. With increasing mean standoff distance, average velocity of in-flight particle decreased according to a parabolic rule approximately. Image diagnosis showed that the result of in-flight particle velocity measurement is credible.展开更多

Microstructure, mechanical properties and electrical resistivity were investigated systematically using metallography, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, mechanical and electrical properties testing. The results indicate that an appropriate amount of La can homogenize the distribution of Al_2O_3. As such, yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and elongation of Cu-Al_2O_3-La are greatly increased. Some semi-coherent interface between Cu and Al_2O_3 is found, which means a low interface energy. The grain shape of Cu changes to irregular band with the addition of La. This change results in a density decrease of grain boundary and reduces electrical resistance. Lanthanum may exist in the form of La_2O_3.展开更多
