Summary: This paper studied the effect of laser modification on the bonding strength of CFRP surfaces. Different laser treatment patterns were used to improve bonding strength. The highest bond strength was achieved with an annular pattern. The exposed continuity of carbon fibers and residual resin directly affected the bond strength. Additionally, the bond strength initially increased and then decreased with increasing scanning times, with the capillary effect of carbon fibers and air pressure in micro grooves playing a leading role.

Summary: A hybrid laser polishing technique combining pulsed laser and continuous wave laser was applied to polish the surface of LDED Inconel 718 samples. The results showed that the remelted layer thickness increased to 50 mm while preserving the columnar microstructure, and the grain size decreased. The wear rate at 25°C decreased by 70.9%, and the average coefficient of friction decreased from 0.42 to 0.29 after laser polishing. The enhancement in wear resistance was attributed to the formation of small-sized and homogeneously distributed fine grains with low angle boundaries.

Summary: Cu-precipitation in reactor pressure vessel steels is a major concern for the degradation of mechanical properties. This study develops and implements a non-local phase-field model to investigate the equilibrium morphology of precipitates in the over-aged state. The model confirms that the precipitates should have an oblate lath-like shape, which is supported by experimental data. The orientation of the precipitates is consistent with literature. The mechanism of morphology accommodation is explained using the invariant-line method. However, the equilibrium values of elongation significantly deviate from experimental data, likely due to the metastable state of the precipitates during the coarsening process.
