The Influence of temperature on the microstructure and properties of Cu/Al tube joints in magnetic pulse-assisted semi-solid brazing by Zhenglei Rui, Shangyu Huang, Huajun Wang, Zhenghua Meng

“…Mechanical testing demonstrates that joints brazed at 440 °C achieve optimal shear strength of 81.1 MPa, with fracture occurring at the copper-side (Cu-side) interface between the Al4.2Cu3.2Zn0.7 intermetallic phase and the diffusion layer. This work establishes fundamental theoretical guidance for optimizing MPASSB process parameters and facilitates the efficient joining of Cu/Al tubes.…”

Generative priors-constraint accelerated iterative reconstruction for extremely sparse photoacoustic tomography boosted by mean-reverting diffusion model: Towards 8 projections by Teng Lian, Yichen Lv, Kangjun Guo, Zilong Li, Jiahong Li, Guijun Wang, Jiabin Lin, Yiyang Cao, Qiegen Liu, Xianlin Song

“…To address this problem, an advanced sparse reconstruction method for photoacoustic tomography based on the mean-reverting diffusion model is proposed. By modeling the degradation process from a high-quality image under full-view scanning (512 projections) to a sparse image with stable Gaussian noise (i.e., mean state), a mean-reverting diffusion model is trained to learn prior information of the data distribution. …”
