Amorphous filler Ti-Zr-Cu-Ni with better performance and higher melting point than the α → β phase transition temperature 882.5°C of TA2, is appropriate for joining TC and TB titanium alloys but not for TA titanium alloys, with which the ductility of the joined base metal TA2 gets down. In this paper, Sn is added into Ti-Zr-Cu-Ni filler to reduce its melting temperature then to satisfy the joining temperature requirement, and the effects of the content of Sn on the microstructure of the alloy and brazing performance are investigated. The results show that, the Ti-Zr-Cu-Ni-Sn brazing foils still possess amorphous structure; the melting point of fillers is reducing with the increase of the Sn content; the joint gap that formed during brazing TA2 and Q235 using Ti-Zr-Cu-Ni-Sn foils is fully filled with continuous compact surface and smooth uniform fillet; the shear strength of the joint is raising with the increase of Sn content in brazing fillers and the strength reaches to 112 MPa when Sn content is 3%; adding more Sn, more brittle intermetallic compounds TiFe and TiFe2 are gathering to form cluster and the shear strength of the joint is reducing; the shear fracture always occurs in the center of the seam.

Does Immigration Promote the Investment of the Monopolistic Firm?

In the present paper, we examine the effect of increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth on the optimal timing of investment of a firm that has a monopolistic power over the labor market. It is revealed that when the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is more than a threshold level, increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth accelerates the optimal timing of firms’ investment and enhances the economic growth, even if the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is formulated by the geometric Brownian motion, which is in sharp contrast to the standard result that an increase in the uncertainty postpones the optimal timing. With an increase in the immigrants over the past ten years, workforces in the host countries have been growing significantly to the extent that the immigrants represent 70% of the increase in the workforce in Europe, and 47% in the United States as OECD indicates. In the present paper, we attempted to investigate the effect of increased uncertainty caused by the growi...

Education Policy Implementation: A Mechanism for Enhancing Primary Education Development in Zanzibar

Education is one of the fundamental rights of individuals; therefore, the government of a country needs to develop and strengthen educational policy and quality as well as to ensure that everyone has equal access to basic education. The improvement of access and quality of education in the world is becoming as an essential factor in development, whereas the basic education (primary school), is acknowledged as a foundation of the higher educational development for every country. To fulfill this goal, governments introduce several policies and procedures; however, it requires some reforms and participation from the politician, policymakers, and other stakeholders to re-examine educational policy so that it can lead to multiplication and betterment of the reforms. Educational reforms actually focus on accountability. A positive educational development and reform is very challenging and needs more effort and strategy on how to use and utilize the resources effectively as such it can achie...
