Fast degradation rate and inhomogeneous corrosion are obstacles for magnesium alloy bio-corrosion properties. In this paper, a quaternary Mg-Zn-Ca-Mn alloy was designed by an orthogonal method and prepared by vacuum induction melting to investigate its bio-corrosion. Microstructure, corrosion morphology, and bio-corrosion properties of as-cast alloys 1 to 5 with good corrosion resistance were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction with immersion and electrochemical tests in simulated body fluid (SBF), respectively. Both the orthogonal method and in vitro degradation experiments demonstrated that alloy 3 exhibited the lowest degradation rate among the tested quaternary Mg-Zn-Ca-Mn alloys. Then, as-cast alloy 3 was treated by solid-solution and solid-solution aging. In vitro experimental results indicated that as-cast alloy 3 showed better corrosion resistance than heat-treated specimens and the average corrosion rate was approximately 0.15 mm/y. Heat-treated alloy 3 exhibited more uniform corrosion than as-cast alloy specimens. These results suggest that alloy 3 has the potential to become a biodegradable candidate material.
Along with the development of artificial intelligence, mobile terminal equipment patrol inspection has become the mainstream of power grid line patrol inspection. Insulator defect detection is an important part of power patrol inspection. To increase the detection speed under the condition of guaranteeing high precision of insulator detecting, an improved lightweight YOLOv5 algorithm is presented to achieve insulator defect detection. This algorithm uses the lightweight Ghost convolution to improve the general convolution and the Ghost Bottleneck module to improve the head module in YOLOv5. Based on the original Ghost lightweight, the algorithm improves the channel data suitable for insulator detection and decreases the number of convolutions. In the same research data and experimental environment setting, the effect is better than the unmodified Ghost optimization. Experiment results indicate that the mean precision of detecting insulator is 81%, the number of algorithm models and parameters is reduced, the speed of detection is increased under the premise of ensuring accuracy, and the improved algorithm model is more lightweight and easy to deploy and use in embedded mobile terminals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
