一种镍基单晶高温合金高周疲劳引起的g′溶解行为研究

研究了一种镍基单晶高温合金SRR99在不同温度下的高周疲劳行为,试样采用[001]取向的单晶试棒。结果表明条件疲劳强度随着试验温度的升高先上升后降低,具有与高温拉伸强度表现出相同的变化规律。通过扫描电子显微镜和透射电子显微镜的观察发现g′相的形貌发生了显著变化,经过高温循环变形后g′析出相发生了溶解。在交变应力的作用下,g′与基体界面产生大量的位错,而位错的往复运动引起了g′相的溶解。因此循环加载过程中伴随着g′的不断溶解,共格界面的强化作用不断减弱。 除此之外,通过裂纹扩展方向与试样轴向的夹角可以判断出疲劳裂纹的扩展主要沿着(111)晶面进行,根据扫描电镜和透射电镜的观察结果对于循环加载的微观组织演化机理进行了讨论。     

微弧氧化Mg-3Al-1Zn镁合金应力腐蚀和腐蚀疲劳行为研究

本文主要对微弧氧化Mg-3Al-1Zn镁合金在空气和3.5 wt.%硫酸钠溶液两种环境下的应力腐蚀和腐蚀疲劳行为进行研究，并讨论其相互关系。微弧氧化处理后，Mg-3Al-1Zn镁合金的耐蚀性能得到明显改善。与Mg-3Al-1Zn镁合金基体相比，在空气中，微弧氧化后合金的应力腐蚀和腐蚀疲劳强度均下降了大约10 MPa。在3.5 wt.%硫酸钠溶液环境中，微弧氧化后合金的腐蚀疲劳性能仍然是恶化的，但是应力腐蚀强度却得到了显著改善，从58.24 MPa提高至202.08 MPa。这表明材料的力学性能（应力腐蚀和腐蚀疲劳）并不是与其腐蚀性能完全保持线性关系的。微弧氧化处理后镁合金在空气中的应力腐蚀断口为韧性断裂，在硫酸钠溶液环境中为解理断裂。而其腐蚀疲劳断口不论是在空气中还是在腐蚀环境中均为解理断裂。这主要是由于腐蚀环境和变换循环载荷的影响，两者共同作用将会加速裂纹扩展。这表明，周围环境和加载类型对材料断裂机理有重要影响。

Multi-Scale Analysis of Fretting Fatigue in Heterogeneous Materials Using Computational Homogenization

This paper deals with modeling of the phenomenon of fretting fatigue in heterogeneous materials using the multi-scale computational homogenization technique and finite element analysis (FEA). The heterogeneous material for the specimens consists of a single hole model (25% void/cell, 16% void/cell and 10% void/cell) and a four-hole model (25% void/cell). Using a representative volume element (RVE), we try to produce the equivalent homogenized properties and work on a homogeneous specimen for the study of fretting fatigue. Next, the fretting fatigue contact problem is performed for 3 new cases of models that consist of a homogeneous and a heterogeneous part (single hole cell) in the contact area. The aim is to analyze the normal and shear stresses of these models and compare them with the results of the corresponding heterogeneous models based on the Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) method. Finally, by comparing the computational time and % deviations, we draw conclusions about the reliability and effectiveness of the proposed method.     

氮含量对HPD-1双相不锈钢组织及力学性能的影响

通过显微组织观察与力学性能测试研究了氮含量(0.08%~0.22％,质量分数)对HPD-1双相不锈钢硬度、拉伸性能、低温冲击性能及疲劳性能的影响。结果表明,氮含量变化可显著影响试验钢γ/α相比例,当氮含量由0.08％升高到0.22％,γ相含量由38.1％提高至56.5％。α相的硬度由273 HV10提高到343 HV10,γ相的硬度由238 HV10提高到299 HV10,试验钢强度明显提升。氮元素对两相比例和奥氏体相韧性的双重影响导致试验钢低温冲击性能呈先上升后下降的趋势;更高的氮含量抑制疲劳裂纹萌生与拓展,是影响HPD-1双相不锈钢室温疲劳性能的主要因素。撕裂棱是疲劳断口的显著特征。     

某轻型载货车储气罐支架振动断裂分析与优化

为了有效解决某轻型载货车储气罐支架的断裂故障,首先基于建立的储气罐支架有限元模型进行振动特性分析,分析结果表明其前三阶固有频率接均处于发动机激励频率范围之外,不会产生共振。其次测试各种道路的时域载荷,测试结果表明其中角度搓板路的激励频率与储气罐支架第一阶固有频率相接近,从而引起共振,不满足振动特性要求。然后对其进行振动强度分析,分析结果表明其应力水平不达标,其最大应力点与开裂处一致。再对其进行振动疲劳寿命预测分析,分析结果表明其疲劳寿命也不达标,其危险点也与失效位置相同。再采用集成平台对储气罐支架的结构进行优化设计,优化之后其模态频率、振动强度和振动疲劳均符合性能要求,并且其重量也有所减轻,总体优化效果较佳。最后整车试验结果表明优化之后储气罐支架的振动大幅度降低,并且没有发生失效。     

柱塞卡滞原因分析

某柱塞泵工作中发生柱塞卡滞,经显微形貌观察、光谱分析、电子探针面扫描分析和显微硬度分析等,确定柱塞卡滞的根本原因为原材料组织中存在严重的网状共晶碳化物,降低了强度和韧性,增大了柱塞球面表层的脆性,进而导致了球面部位的接触疲劳抗力下降。严重的疲劳磨损与接触疲劳造成了柱塞球面脱层破坏,由此产生的金属碎屑进入柱塞与衬套的配合间隙处,进而限制了柱塞的自由运动。     

Improved thermosets obtained from diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A/4,4′‐diaminodiphenylsulfone based on a new epoxy‐terminated hyperbranched polymer

A new hyperbranched polymer (HBP) with a flexible aromatic skeleton and terminal epoxy groups was synthesized to improve the toughness of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A. The HBP was characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transfer infrared spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography. The effect of HBP on the thermomechanical and mechanical properties of modified epoxy systems was studied. For evaluating the efficiency of the modified epoxy systems, composite samples using glass fiber cloth were molded and tested. Using dynamic mechanical analysis, a slight reduction in glass transition temperature (T_g) with increasing HBP content was observed. Analysis of fracture surfaces revealed a possible effect of HBP as a toughener and showed no phase separation in the modified resin systems. The results showed that the addition of 15 phr HBP maximized the toughness of the modified resin systems with 215 and 40% increases in impact and flexural strengths, respectively. T_g and heat resistance of cured modified resin systems decreased slightly with an increase in HBP content and, at 15 phr HBP, only a 2.6% decrease in thermomechanical properties was observed. Meanwhile, a molded composite with HBP showed improved mechanical properties and retention rate at 150 °C as compared to that made with neat resin. © 2015 Society of Chemical Industry     

Effect of retained austenite – Compressive residual stresses on rolling contact fatigue life of carburized AISI 8620 steel

In this study the rolling contact fatigue (RCF) of case carburized AISI 8620 steel was numerically and experimentally investigated. For the numerical study, a two dimensional finite element (FE) RCF model based on the continuum damage mechanics (CDM) was developed to investigate the fatigue damage accumulation, crack propagation and final fatigue life of carburized AISI 8620 steel under various operating conditions. A randomly generated Voronoi tessellation was used to model the effects of material microstructure topology. The boundaries of the Voronoi elements were assumed to be the weak planes where damage accumulates, cracks initiate and propagate to simulate inter-granular cracks. A series of torsional fatigue tests were conducted on carburized AISI 8620 steel specimens containing 0% and 35% retained austenite (RA) to determine fatigue load (S) vs. life (N) of the material. The S–N results were then used to determine the material parameters necessary for the rolling contact fatigue model. The torsional fatigue test results indicate that the carburized AISI 8620 specimens with higher RA demonstrate higher life than the specimens with lower RA. The RCF model also indicates that the material with higher level of compressive residual stresses (RS) and retained austenite demonstrates higher RCF life. In order to corroborate the results of RCF model, a three-ball-on-rod rolling contact fatigue test rig was used to determine the RCF lives of carburized AISI 8620 steels with different amounts of RA. The fatigue life and cracks evolution pattern from the numerical and experimental results were corroborated. The results indicate that they are in good agreement.     

Investigation into eddy current pulsed thermography for rolling contact fatigue detection and characterization

This paper reports on the use of eddy current pulsed thermography (ECPT) for detection and characterization of rolling contact fatigue (RCF). Detection mechanisms with eddy currents and heat propagation effects were discussed with RCF modeled as a simple angled defect. Two different angled defects were studied through numerical simulations and experimentally by using uniform magnetic field (UMF) excited by Helmholtz coils. Finally, a rail sample with RCF defects was inspected using UMF excitation. It is shown that ECPT with UMF excitation provides an efficient and robust method to detect angled defects, compared with nonuniform magnetic field (NUMF) excitation.
