Reactive sintering of elemental powders was used to form Y-doped Mg2Si (Y: 1000, 2000, 3000ppm) using a field-activated pressure assisted synthesis (FAPAS) method. XRD analysis, and the calculation of lattice constant (a) indicates that 1000ppm is the solid solubility of Y in Mg2Si. Sample doped with 2000ppm Y owns better performances, the absolute value of Seebeck Coefficient increases in the temperature of 288-580K and is higher than that of non-doped Mg2Si, and it got higher electric conductivity and higher power factor, which reaches up to 1.67 times of non-doped Mg2Si at 438K and 2.03 times of that of non-doped Mg2Si at about 408K. Meanwhile, the introduction of Y can decrease thermo-conductivity obviously, proving that the introduction of Y is favorable for both electrical and thermal properties.

In this study, welding of 2205 duplex stainless steel was carried out by first using plasma arc welding as root welding and then using tungsten inert-gas (TIG) welding and metal inert-gas (MIG) welding respectively as cover welding, Weldability of 2205 duplex stainless steel using two different the welding processes is investigated. Microstructure characteristics, mechanical properties, pitting corrosion resistance are made comparison between the weldment that is solution treated and that is not .Influence of heat input and the solid solution treatment on complex properties of welded joints is evaluated, and the solid solution treatment was conducted for both of the welded joints fabricated by the welding processes mentioned preciously.
