ریزساختار و خواص مکانیکی  Ti-5Al-2Sn-2Zr-4Mo-4Crعملیات حرارتی شده

ABSTRACT

The effects of heat treatment parameters on the microstructure, and mechanical properties and fractured morphology of Ti-5Al-2Sn-2Zr-4Mo-4Cr with the equiaxed, bi-modal and Widmanstätten microstructures were investigated. The heating temperatures for obtaining the equiaxed, bi-modal and Widmanstätten microstructures were 830, 890 and 920 °C, respectively, followed by furnace cooling at a holding time of 30 min. The volume fraction of primary α phase decreased with increasing the heating temperature, which was 45.8% at 830 °C, and decreased to 15.5% at 890 °C, and then the primary α phase disappeared at 920 °C during furnace cooling. The variation of volume fraction of primary α phase in air cooling is similar to that in furnace cooling. The increase in heating temperature and furnace cooling benefited the precipitation and growth of the secondary α phase. The equiaxed microstructure exhibited excellent mechanical properties, in which the ultimate strength, yield strength, elongation and reduction in area were 1035 MPa, 1011 MPa, 20.8% and 58.7%, respectively. The yield strength and elongation for the bi-modal microstructure were slightly lower than those of the equiaxed microstructure. The Widmanstätten microstructure exhibited poor ductility and low yield strength, while the ultimate strength reached 1078 MPa. The dimple fractured mechanism for the equiaxed and bi-modal microstructures proved excellent ductility. The coexistence of dimple and intercrystalline fractured mechanisms for the Widmanstätten microstructure resulted in the poor ductility.

 

تاثیر انجماد بر تحول ریزساختاری فلز جوش پایه نیکل

Influence of solidification on the microstructural evolution

of nickel base weld metal

تاثیر انجماد بر تحول ریزساختاری فلز جوش پایه نیکل 

ABSTRACT

The effect of segregation resulting from solidification on the microstructural evolution of nickel base alloys was investigated. Two different groups of alloys were produced to simulate either the Hastelloy C type or the Inconel 625/718 type of alloys. Gravitational thermal analysis welding was performed on these experimental alloys and the extent of microsegregation in the weld metal was determined. Using composition profiles obtained from solidified microstructures, predictions of the phase stability of these microstructures were made based on metal d-level (Md) calculations. The maximum Md values obtained in these microstructures were compared with those critical to the formation of topologically close-packed (TCP) phases such as sigma, P, and Laves. These profiles showed an increase in the Md level in the interdendritic regions which was correlated to the formation of TCP phases.

 

اثر عملیات حرارتی بر ریزساختار و خواص مکانیکی فولاد زنگ‌نزن دوپلکس

Effect of heat treatment on microstructure and

mechanical properties of duplex stainless steel

اثر عملیات حرارتی بر ریزساختار و خواص مکانیکی فولاد زنگ‌نزن دوپلکس

ABSTRACT

Present study concerns the effect of deformation and heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a duplex stainless steel. While hot rolling causes the coarse distribution of the constituent phases (ferrite and austenite), 50% cold rolling results into the elongated and splintered two — phase structure. Supersaturated ferrite structure established by water quenching from 1300°C results into the strengthening due to the formation of fine dispersed austenite precipitates within ferrite grain after isothermal heat treatment (1000°C, 0.5 hour). Duplex structure consisting of ferrite and austenite in a fine-grained form is obtained after isothermal heat treatment of cold rolled sample. Cold deformed and heat treated steel exhibits best combination of strength and ductility among all the investigated steel samples.

آلیاژسازی و آسیاب کاری مکانیکی

ABSTRACT

Mechanical alloying (MA) is a solid-state powder processng technique involving repeated welding, fracturing, and rewelding of powder particles in a high-energy ball mill. Originally developed to produce oxide-dispersion strengthened (ODS) nickel- and iron-base superalloys for applications in the aerospace industry, MA has now been shown to be capable of synthesizing a variety of equilibrium and non-equilibrium alloy phases starting from blended elemental or prealloyed powders. The non-equilibrium phases synthesized include supersaturated solid solutions, metastable crystalline and quasicrystalline phases, nanostructures, and amorphous alloys. Recent advances in these areas and also on disordering of ordered intermetallics and mechanochemical synthesis of materials have been critically reviewed after discussing the process and process variables involved in MA. The often vexing problem of powder contamination has been analyzed and methods have been suggested to avoid/minimize it. The present understanding of the modeling of the MA process has also been discussed. The present and potential applications of MA are described. Wherever possible, comparisons have been made on the product phases obtained by MA with those of rapid solidification processing, another non-equilibrium processing technique.

 

مقاومت به اکسیداسیون پوشش آلومینایی روی زیرلایه مس

High temperature oxidation resistance and

microstructure change of aluminized coating on copper substrate

مقاومت اکسیداسیون دما بالا و تغییر ریزساختار پوشش آلومینایی روی زیرلایه مس

ABSTRACT

The outermost coating with single phase Ni2Al3 was obtained on copper surface by electrodepositing nickel followed by slurry pack aluminizing at 800 °C for 12 h. The oxidation resistance and microstructure of the coating oxidized in ambient air at 1000 °C for 25–250 h were investigated using SEM, X-ray diffraction and optical microscope methods. The results show that the copper with single phase Ni2Al3 coating possesses the best high temperature oxidation resistance, and the mass gain of the coating is 1/15 that of pure copper and 1/2 that of nickel coating, respectively. The specimen surface after being oxidized for 25 h still comprises Ni2Al3 phase. However, when the time of oxidizing treatment increases to 50 h, the NiAl phase is formed. It is also found that the Ni2Al3 phase completely turns into NiAl phase after oxidizing treatment for 100 h and above. The NiAl coating shows excellent high temperature oxidation resistance when oxidation time is 250 h.

ABSTRACT

Solid solutions of alkaline earth hexaborides were synthesized and densified by spark plasma sintering at 100 MPa. The high-temperature thermoelectric properties (Seebeck coefficients, electrical and thermal diffusivities, heat capacities) were measured between room temperature and 1073 K. CaB6, SrB6, BaB6 and the ternary hexaborides CaxSr1−xB6, CaxBa1−xB6, SrxBa1−xB6 (x = 0.25, 0.5, 0.75) are n-type conducting compounds over the whole compositional and thermal ranges. The values of the figure of merit ZT for CaB6 (ca. 0.3 at 1073 K) were found to be significantly increased compared to earlier investigations which is attributed to the densification process.

Thermal shock  of  refractories 

شوک حرارتی دیرگدازها 

ABSTRACT

Being brittle and having low thermal conductivity, refractories suffer damage and sometimes fail in service as a result of thermal shock. While the approach of those making fine-grained technical ceramics is to make their products sufficiently strong to withstand thermal stresses the refractory technologist is more cunning. He uses, often little known, devices to provide resistance to thermal shock that minimise but do not eliminate damage to the component. In this paper the basic equations of thermal conduction and elasticity are presented and followed by some immediate results that should guide the designer of components subject to severe thermal environments. The influence of size and shape of the refractory components is then discussed along with ways in which refractory producers can engineer the thermal and mechanical properties. In particular, the methods used to tailor fracture behavior to optimize the thermal shock resistance are treated in some detail.

Corrosion inhibition of carbon steel during acid pickling

جلوگیری از خوردگی فولاد کربنی در حین اسیدشویی

ABSTRACT

A novel cationic surfactant, N-(2-(2-mercaptoacetoxy)ethyl)-N,N-dimethyl dodecan-1-aminium bromide), has been synthesized to study its corrosion inhibiting effect against carbon steel in 1.0 M HCl solution. The corrosion inhibition efficiency was measured by using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization, and weight loss methods. The inhibition efficiencies obtained from these methods were in good agreement. The inhibition efficiency slightly decreased in the temperature range 30–60 °C. The synthesized inhibitor acted as a mixed inhibitor. Thermodynamic adsorption and activation parameters were discussed. Adsorption of the synthesized inhibitor was found to follow the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. A chemical adsorption mechanism is proposed.

Effect of withdrawal rate on microstructure and mechanical

properties of a directionally solidified NiAl-based hypoeutectic alloy doped with trace Hf and Ho

تأثیر سرعت بیرون کشی بر ریزساختار و خواص مکانیکی آلیاژ پایه NiAl هیپویوتکتیک

منجمد شده به صورت جهت دار و دوپ شده با مقادیر اندک Hf و Ho

ABSTRACT

The hypoeutectic alloy, with nominal composition NiAle31Cre2.9Moe0.1Hfe0.05Ho (at.%), was directionally solidified at three different withdrawal rates by liquid metal (Sn) cooling technique. Microstructural examination reveals that directional solidification gave rise to a shift in the coupled zone for the eutectic growth towards the Cr(Mo) phase. With the withdrawal rates increasing from 3 mm/min to 15 mm/min, the volume fraction of primary dendritic NiAl increases from 21.1% to 25.9%, while the size and the arm spacing of NiAl primary dendrite reduces simultaneously. The room temperature (RT) fracture toughness and the tensile strength at RT and elevated temperature (1373 K) present the valley value at intermediate rate (8 mm/min) among the withdrawal rate range which could be attributed to the decrease in volume fraction of eutectic NiAl/Cr(Mo) microstructure and the refinement of microstructure resulted from the increase of withdrawal rates. In terms of RT tensile elongation, the DS alloy grown at different withdrawal rates all break with no plastic flow.
