The remaining life estimation for the aged components in power plants as well as chemical plants are very important because
mechanical properties of the components are degraded with in-service exposure time in high temperatures. Since it is difficult
to take specimens from the operating components to evaluate mechanical properties of components, nondestructive techniques
are needed to evaluate the degradation. In this study, test materials with several different degradation levels were prepared
by isothermal aging heat treatment at 630°C. The DC potential drop method and destructive methods such as tensile and fracture
toughness were used in order to evaluate the degradation of 1Cr-1Mo-0.25V steels. In this result, we can see that tensile
strength and fracture toughness can be calculated from resistivity and it is possible to evaluate material degradation using
DC potential drop method, non-destructive method. 相似文献
This paper presents the results of a series of experiments conducted to investigate the effectiveness of fibre inclusion in the improvement of mechanical performance of concrete with regard to concrete type and specimen size. Lightweight aggregate concrete and limestone aggregate concrete with and without steel fibres were used in the study. The compressive strength of the concrete mixes varied between 90 and 115 MPa and the fibre content was 1% by volume. Splitting tests on prisms and three-point bending test on notched beams were carried out on specimens of varying sizes to examine the size effect on splitting strength, flexural strength and toughness.
The experimental findings indicate that the low volume of fibre has little effect on compressive strength but improve remarkably splitting tensile strength, flexural strength and toughness. The increase in splitting tensile strength, flexural strength and toughness index for lightweight concrete seems much higher than that of normal aggregate concrete.
The size effect on prism splitting tensile strength is not significant beyond a critical (transition) size. There are apparent size effects on flexural strength and toughness index. As the specimen size increases, splitting and flexural strengths appear to decrease, and fracture behaviour tends to be more brittle. 相似文献
The effect of the friction stir welding process on the toughness properties of AA6013-T6 sheet has been investigated. The alloy was received and welded in the peak aged T6 condition and the toughness measured at intervals across the weld by means of a notched tear test, with subsequent fractographic examination via field emission gun scanning electron microscope (FEGSEM) and microstructural characterisation via optical microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX). It is shown that the controlling factors for toughness in AA6013-T6 following FSW are the population and distribution of the coarse α-(Al,Fe,Si,Mn) intermetallic particles, with strength variations caused by precipitate dissolution, coarsening and transformation representing a secondary consideration. Minimum toughness occurs at the boundary between the weld nugget and the heat-affected zone due to the alignment and concentration of coarse particles at this point by the FSW process. A simple model is implemented and provides a reasonable prediction of the weld toughness from simple microstructural observations. 相似文献
An investigation was carried out to modify the toughness of triethylene tetramine cured DGEBA (diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A) resin using solid amine terminated poly (ethylene glycol) benzoate (ATPEGB) as modifier with and without red mud waste particles. The solid ATPEGB modifier synthesized from the acid catalyzed esterification reaction of poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) and 4-amino benzoic acid was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and ^1H-NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectroscopies, viscosity measurements, and solubility parameter calculation. The unfilled and red mud waste filled modified epoxy networks were evaluated with impact, adhesive, tensile, flexural and thermal properties by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric (TG) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The effect of modifier concentration and red mud waste particles on toughening behavior was also investigated. The optimum properties were obtained at 12.5 phr (parts per hundred parts of resin) concentration of the modifier. The ATPEGB modified cured epoxy was thermally stable up to 315℃. The morphology on fracture surfaces of cured epoxy was also analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). 相似文献
