    Abstract Oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) Eurofer steel was laser welded using a short pulse duration and a designed pattern to minimise local heat accumulation. With a laser power of 2500 W and a duration of more than 3 ms, a full penetration can be obtained in a 1 mm thick plate. Material loss was observed in the fusion zone due to metal vaporisation, which can be fully compensated by the use of filler material. The solidified fusion zone consists of an elongated dual phase microstructure with a bimodal grain size distribution. Nano-oxide particles were found to be dispersed in the steel. Electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) analysis shows that the microstructure of the heat-treated joint is recovered with substantially unaltered grain size and lower misorientations in different regions. The experimental results indicate that joints with fine grains and dispersed nano-oxide particles can be achieved via pulsed laser beam welding using filler material and post heat treatment.

    Abstract C-(A)-S-H(I) is a calcium silicate hydrate that is studied extensively as a model for the main binding phase in concrete. It is a structurally imperfect form of 14 Å tobermorite that has variable composition and length of (alumino)silicate anions. New structural-chemical formulae are presented for single- and double-chain tobermorite-based phases and equations are provided that can be used to calculate a number of useful quantities from (29)Si NMR data. It is shown that there are no interlayer calcium ions when the silicate chains are of infinite length and that one is added for each tetrahedral `bridging' site that is vacant. Preparations that have Ca/Si greater than about 1.4 include an intermixed Ca-rich phase. It is not possible to generate a structural model for a dimer that is crystal-chemically consistent with known calcium silicate hydrates if the starting structure is an orthotobermorite, i.e. of the type that has been used in all previous studies. Crystal-chemically plausible models are developed that are based instead on clinotobermorite. A number of models that represent different mean chain lengths are developed using crystal-chemical and geometrical reasoning. The models account for experimental observations, including variations in Ca/Si, H2O/Si, (alumino)silicate anion structure and layer spacing.

    Abstract Atomistic modelling techniques and Rietveld refinement of X-ray powder diffraction data are widely used but often result in crystal structures that are not realistic, presumably because the authors neglect to check the crystal-chemical plausibility of their structure. The purpose of this paper is to reinforce the importance and utility of proper crystal-chemical and geometrical reasoning in structural studies. It is achieved by using such reasoning to generate new yet fundamental information about layered double hydroxides (LDH), a large, much-studied family of compounds. LDH phases are derived from layered single hydroxides by the substitution of a fraction (x) of the divalent cations by trivalent. Equations are derived that enable calculation of x from the a parameter of the unit cell and vice versa, which can be expected to be of widespread utility as a sanity test for extant and future structure determinations and computer simulation studies. The phase at x = 0 is shown to be an α form of divalent metal hydroxide rather than the β polymorph. Crystal-chemically sensible model structures are provided for β-Zn(OH)2 and Ni- and Mg-based carbonate LDH phases that have any trivalent cation and any value of x, including x = 0 [i.e. for α-M(OH)2·mH2O phases].

    Abstract As previous studies have shown, geomagnetic activity during the solar minimum following solar cycle 23 was at low levels unprecedented during the space era, and even since the beginning of the Kp index in 1932. Here, we summarize the characteristics of geomagnetic activity during the first 4 years of cycle 24 following smoothed sunspot minimum in December, 2008, and compare these with those of similar periods during earlier cycles going back to the start of Kp (cycles 17–23). The most outstanding feature is the continuing low levels of geomagnetic activity that are well below those observed during the rising phases of the other cycles studied. Even 4 years into cycle 24, geomagnetic storm rates are still only comparable to or below the rates observed during activity minima in previous cycles. We note that the storm rate during the rising phases of cycles 17–23 was correlated with the peak sunspot number (SSN) in the cycle. Extrapolating these results to the low storm rates in cycle 24 suggests values of the peak SSN in cycle 24 that are consistent with the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center prediction of 90 ± 10, indicating that cycle 24 is likely to be the weakest cycle since at least 1932. No severe (Dst < −200 nT) storms have been observed during the first 4 years of cycle 24 compared with 4 in the comparable interval of cycle 23, and only 10 intense (Dst < −100 nT) storms, compared with 21 in cycle 23. These storms were all associated with the passage of Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections (ICMEs) and/or their associated sheaths. The lack of strong southward magnetic fields in ICMEs and their sheaths, their lower speeds close to the average solar wind speed, a ~20% reduction in the number of ICMEs passing the Earth, and weaker than normal fields in corotating high-speed streams, contribute to the low levels of geomagnetic storm activity in the rise phase of cycle 24. However, the observation of an ICME with strong southward fields at the STEREO A spacecraft on July 24, 2012, which would have been highly geoeffective had it encountered the Earth, demonstrates that strong geomagnetic storms may still occur during weak solar cycles.

    Abstract One of the challenges for development, qualification and optimisation of arc welding processes lies in characterising the complex melt-pool behaviour which exhibits highly non-linear responses to variations of process parameters. The present work presents a computational model to describe the melt-pool behaviour in root-pass gas metal arc welding (GMAW). Three-dimensional numerical simulations have been performed using an enhanced physics-based computational model to unravel the effect of groove shape on complex unsteady heat and fluid flow in GMAW. The influence of surface deformations on the magnitude and distribution of the heat input and the forces applied to the molten material were taken into account. Utilising this model, the complex thermal and fluid flow fields in melt pools were visualised and described for different groove shapes. Additionally, experiments were performed to validate the numerical predictions and the robustness of the present computational model is demonstrated. The model can be used to explore the physical effects of governing fluid flow and melt-pool stability during gas metal arc root welding.
