Abstract: A quantitative evaluation method for integrity and damage evolution of a cement sheath in an oil-gas well is provided based on a fractal theory, an image processing technology, structural features and failure mechanisms of a casing-cement sheath-formation combination. The method uses correlations among fractal dimensions of casing-cement sheath interface morphology, cement sheath microscopic pore morphology, particle morphology of an initial blank group, and macroscopic mechanical properties including a radial cementing strength of the cement sheath interface, a tensile strength, and a compressive strength to quantitatively evaluate the integrity of the cement sheath of the blank group.

Abstract: Methods of manufacturing and processing semiconductor devices (i.e., electronic devices) are described. The methods include treating a surface of a metal gate stack with a radical treatment. The radical treatment may be used to treat one or more layers or surfaces of layers in the metal gate stack. The radical treatment may be performed once or multiple times during the methods described herein. The radical treatment comprises flowing one or more of nitrogen radicals (N2*) and hydrogen radicals (H*) over the surface of the metal gate stack.

Abstract: A soluble metal sealing ring with a controllable dissolution rate and preparation process thereof include an aluminum alloy sealing ring matrix and a composite coating coated on an outer surface of the aluminum alloy sealing ring matrix whose standard electrode potential is greater than ?0.3 volts (V). The preparation process includes: (1) preparing a high-plastic aluminum alloy; (2) preparing the aluminum alloy sealing ring matrix by machining; (3) annealing the aluminum alloy sealing ring matrix; (4) mixing raw materials of the composite coating evenly; (5) preparing the composite coating on an outer surface of the aluminum alloy sealing ring matrix; (6) preparing holes.

Abstract: A test device and method for top-of-the-line corrosion (TLC) of a high-temperature high-pressure wet gas pipeline. The device mainly includes: a metal top cap, a metal reaction cylinder, a first thermometer, a second thermometer, a plastic transparent measuring cylinder, a condensed water collection tube, an atomic spectrometer, a third thermometer, a rubber seal cover, a condensate droplet, a threaded hole, a condensation chamber, a pipeline sample, a temperature measuring hole, and a 30-degree tilt angle. The device and method can effectively simulate TLC of a wet gas pipeline under a high-temperature high-pressure environment. The device and method can test the high-temperature high-pressure TLC of the wet gas pipeline under different temperature differences (between a surface temperature of the pipeline and a gas temperature) and various corrosion media.
