高温渗碳轴承钢旋弯疲劳裂纹萌生与扩展行为

 为了提高航空轴承的服役寿命,借助QBWP-10000X型旋转弯曲疲劳试验机,研究了高温渗碳轴承钢的旋转弯曲疲劳性能和裂纹萌生扩展行为。结果表明,钢的中值疲劳强度达到913.3 MPa。有效渗层中大量M₂₃C₆和少量M₆C碳化物显著提高了试验钢的表面硬度,渗层不同碳浓度导致马氏体先后发生相变而形成408 MPa表面压应力,进而提高了钢的疲劳性能。疲劳裂纹主要萌生在表面缺陷和次表面碳化物,分别占比71.4%和 28.6%。萌生裂纹缺陷特征尺寸及承载应力对应力强度因子和循环次数影响显著,深犁沟形状由于涉及应力集中而直接影响疲劳循环次数,承受相同加载应力碳化物特征尺寸越大,循环次数越低。裂纹萌生后沿渗碳层碳化物边界快速扩展同时向芯部缓慢扩展,最后在试样疲劳源对侧近边缘区域发生准解理和韧性混合断裂。

High-entropy boride–carbide ceramics by sequential boro/carbothermal synthesis

A dual-phase high-entropy boride (HEB)/carbide (HEC) ceramic with a fine grain size was synthesized by a sequential boro/carbothermal process. In the first step, an Hf–Nb–Ta–Ti–Zr-containing carbide was synthesized by a carbothermal reduction of oxides followed by the reaction of the carbide with B₄C and ZrH₂ to convert part of the carbide to boride. The resulting composition was ∼29 vol% HEB with an average grain size of ∼1.1 μm. Solid solution formation occurred at the densification temperature of 1900°C resulting in a relative density higher than 99%. The Vickers hardness was 26.5 ± 1.4 GPa. This is the first report of synthesizing dual-phase boride–carbide high-entropy ceramics from carbothermally synthesized, HEC powders.     

Ti(C,N)含量和烧结温度对梯度硬质合金脱β层厚度的影响

以Ti(C,N)为N源,在脱氮气氛下烧结制备WC-TiC-Ti(C,N)-TaC-NbC-Co硬质合金,研究Ti(C,N)含量和烧结温度对脱β层厚度及合金微观组织与性能的影响。结果表明:随Ti(C,N)的质量分数从0.5%增加到1.5%,脱β层厚度持续增大。随烧结温度升高,脱β层厚度增大,增大的幅度随Ti(C,N)含量增加而增大。合金的密度、硬度和矫顽磁力不受Ti(C,N)含量的影响,但随烧结温度升高,合金的硬度降低、矫顽磁力变小、WC平均晶粒尺寸增大且直边化。脱β层中无明显的WC晶粒异常长大现象,脱β层厚度由Ti的扩散和N含量决定。     

Investigation on the cold-strip breakage of SUS445J2 ultra-pure ferritic stainless steel during rolling process

In this work,the cause of the cold-strip breakage of SUS445J2 ultra-pure ferritic stainless steel was investigated using optical microscopy,energy dispersive spectroscopy,and electron backscatter diffraction technique.Results show that during cold rolling,the breakage of the stainless steel strip was mainly caused by massive niobium-rich(Nb-rich)carbides present in the center of the strip.Furthermore,cracks initiated at these carbides in the central layer.The massive carbide precipitates resulted from the segregation and enrichment of Nb,titanium(Ti),and carbon(C)in the central layer during the subsequent solidification stage of SUS445J2 stainless steel.Additionally,the banded structure and coarse ferrite grains in the central layer reduced the plasticity of the material,causing cracks to propagate along these grains and finally leading to cold-strip breakage.By reducing the solidification cooling rate of the billet,increasing the pouring temperature,discretizing Nb,Ti,and C enrichment via electromagnetic stirring,and forming equiaxed crystals in the central layer,the precipitation of harmful massive Nb-rich carbides in the central layer could be effectively avoided.     

Synthesis of Ternary Titanium Aluminum Carbides Using Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis Technique

Different ternary carbide phases, namely Ti₃AlC₂, Ti₃AlC, and Ti₂AlC, were successfully synthesized in a self-sustaining regime. Direct reactions among elemental powders of titanium, aluminum, and carbon are strongly exothermic, and the resulting reaction products consist of binary carbides and they are partially molten. The use of TiAl, instead of elemental titanium and aluminum, significantly reduces the combustion temperature. As a result, ternary titanium aluminum carbide phases are formed. In addition, the combustion-synthesized products are not sintered and easy to deagglomerate. Reaction conditions and X-ray diffraction patterns of different ternary phases formed in a self-sustaining regime are presented.     

Elemental analysis of cemented carbides by calibration-free portable laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy

The process of cemented carbides manufacturing requires rapid and field elemental analytical techniques to control and evaluate the properties of products. Calibration-free laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (CF-LIBS) is such a potential elemental analytical technique. In this work, a portable LIBS instrument combined with a CF method was developed for the analysis of cemented carbides. Three batches of cemented compact carbides without reference samples were analyzed. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the samples were achieved by using the portable LIBS instrument combined with CF method. To validate the analysis results, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) was used to analyze the samples as well. The results of CF-LIBS agreed well with the results of XRF, with relative errors between ?29.53 and 24.70%. The results demonstrated that the portable LIBS instrument combined with CF method was capable for direct and rapid analysis without any need of standard measurements. Notably, with the portable LIBS instrument combined with CF method, acceptable accuracy could be obtained, which is promising for practical field applications.     

Strengthening mechanisms of a new 700 MPa hot rolled Ti-microalloyed steel produced by compact strip production

A new hot rolled titanium-microalloyed steel with yield strength of 700 MPa has been developed by CSP (compact strip production) process based on commercial weather resistant steel. EBSD results showed that the average size of its grains with high angle boundaries (>15°) was 3.3 μm. High-density dislocations and large number of nanometer particles were observed in the steel product by TEM. X-ray analysis on the electrolytically extracted phase from the steel indicated that fraction of MX phase was 0.0793 wt%, in which the particles smaller than 10 nm accounted for 33.7%. The contribution of precipitation hardening resulting from nanometer particles was calculated as approximate 158 MPa. The commercial weather resistant steel, reference steel for comparison with 450 MPa yield strength, was also prepared and investigated. It can be concluded that grain refinement is still a major strengthening mechanism in this high strength steel, but precipitation hardening of nanometer TiC precipitates is the dominant factor to increasing the yield strength in new developed steel compared with the reference steel.
