Effect of NaOH on plasma electrolytic oxidation of A356 aluminium alloy in moderately concentrated aluminate electrolyte

Plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO) of cast A356 aluminum alloy was carried out in 32 g/L NaAlO₂ with the addition of different concentrations of NaOH. The stability of the aluminate solution is greatly enhanced by increasing the concentration of NaOH. However, corresponding changes in the PEO behaviour occur due to the increment of NaOH concentration. Thicker precursor coatings are required for the PEO treatment in a more concentrated NaOH electrolyte. The results show that the optimal NaOH concentration is 5 g/L, which improves the stability of storage electrolyte to about 35 days, and leads to dense coatings with high wear performance (wear rate: 4.1×10⁻⁷ mm³·N⁻¹·m⁻¹).     

17CrNiMo6钢斜齿轮热处理仿真分析中的位移边界条件

基于17CrNiMo6钢热处理过程传热、组织场转变和热弹塑性数学模型,建立了斜齿轮零件热处理有限元模型。对17CrNiMo6钢斜齿轮的热处理过程进行了模拟,并分析了固定约束、对称约束、摩擦约束3种位移边界条件对热处理仿真畸变的影响。结果表明:17CrNiMo6钢斜齿轮淬火后齿轮表面受压应力,而心部受拉应力,齿根处压应力大于齿顶处。与目前普遍采用的固定约束或对称约束边界条件相比,采用摩擦约束的仿真结果更加符合实际情况。     

服役工况及喷丸强化对航空齿轮钢接触疲劳性能的影响

目的 针对不同服役工况和表面处理下航空齿轮钢接触疲劳性能不明确的问题,探究不同工况参数及喷丸强化对AISI 9310航空齿轮钢接触疲劳性能的影响。方法 基于双圆盘滚动接触疲劳试验台,对AISI 9310航空齿轮钢圆盘滚子试件在2种接触应力、3种滑差率的服役工况,以及渗碳磨削、喷丸强化2种工艺下开展滚动接触疲劳性能研究。使用白光干涉仪、X射线衍射应力仪和显微硬度仪对喷丸强化前后的表面形貌、残余应力和显微硬度进行表征,探究喷丸处理后的表面完整性与滚动接触疲劳性能之间的规律。结果 当接触应力由2.5 GPa增至3.0 GPa时,AISI 9310试件的滚动接触疲劳寿命降低了64.7%;当滑差率由10%增至20%、30%时,试件的滚动接触疲劳寿命分别下降了18.9%和42.8%,同时寿命分散性有所降低。此外,研究发现喷丸强化使试件表面残余压应力提升了104.3%,并形成了残余压应力层,表面显微硬度提升了4.8%,同时使试件的沟壑状刀痕转变为凹凸不平的弹坑,表面性状宽高比提升至0.931 0,更有利于润滑油的储存,从而使得试件的滚动接触疲劳寿命提升了87.8%。结论 获取了不同接触应力、滑差率和...     

Experimental analysis of bending fatigue strength of plain and notched case-hardened gear steels

Fatigue tests were performed on two commercial case-hardened steels using plain and notched specimens and results were compared with data available in the literature for similar steels. The purpose of the paper was to compare performances of different materials under the same testing conditions. Moreover, the results obtained may form the basis to apply ISO Standard methods mentioned in the Annex A, which estimate the fatigue life of gears starting from experimental data generated from specimens. Even though ISO Standard suggests primarily the use of experimental results generated from testing gears, specimens’ testing is faster and cheaper to evaluate different materials during the design process. From this point of view, specimens’ based approaches seem promising. Plane bending as well as axial fatigue tests were carried out, along with static tensile tests. Fatigue design coefficients relevant to the notch support effect, surface finish, mean stress effect in bending and load type (axial or bending) were derived from the experimental test results and, whenever possible, were compared with ISO Standard recommendations. Microstructures, hardness profiles, residual stresses and fracture surfaces were analyzed as well. To evaluate the accuracy of specimens-based approaches mentioned in the Annex of ISO Standard, additional work is needed in order to compare theoretical estimations with experimental results obtained from gears.
