Human enamel has a complex micro-structure that varies with distance from the tooth’s outer surface. But contributions from
the microstructure to the fracture toughness and the mechanisms of crack growth resistance have not been explored in detail.
In this investigation the apparent fracture toughness of human enamel and the mechanisms of crack growth resistance were evaluated
using the indentation fracture approach and an incremental crack growth technique. Indentation cracks were introduced on polished
surfaces of enamel at selected distances from the occlusal surface. In addition, an incremental crack growth approach using
compact tension specimens was used to quantify the crack growth resistance as a Junction of distance from the occlusal surface.
There were significant differences in the apparent toughness estimated using the two approaches, which was attributed to the
active crack length and corresponding scale of the toughening mechanisms. 相似文献

Mineralized tissues, such as bone and tooth dentin, serve as structural materials in the human body and, as such, have evolved
to resist fracture. In assessing their quantitative fracture resistance or toughness, it is important to distinguish between
intrinsic toughening mechanisms, which function ahead of the crack tip, such as plasticity in metals, and extrinsic mechanisms,
which function primarily behind the tip, such as crack bridging in ceramics. Bone and dentin derive their resistance to fracture
principally from extrinsic toughening mechanisms, which have their origins in the hierarchical microstructure of these mineralized
tissues. Experimentally, quantification of these toughening mechanisms requires a crack-growth resistance approach, which
can be achieved by measuring the crack-driving force (e.g., the stress intensity) as a function of crack extension (“R-curve
approach”). Here this methodology is used to study the effect of aging on the fracture properties of human cortical bone and
human dentin in order to discern the microstructural origins of toughness in these materials. 相似文献

The influence of aluminum on the thermal stability of ferritic stainless steels has been investigated using two commercial
alloys— Armco Type 18SR and AISI430. Two reaction stages have been detected in these alloys during aging at 475 °; each stage
is accompanied by changes in the hardness, yield strength, strain-hardening exponent, and elongation to fracture. The initial
stage is attributed to the precipitation of carbide and nitride particles and the second stage to the precipitation of the
chromium- rich a’ phase. The 430 alloy exhibits more pronounced changes than 18SR during the first stage due to the higher
concentration of interstitials retained in solution after quenching. The effects of the second- stage aging reaction are detected
after shorter aging times in the 18SR alloy and are more pronounced than in the 430 alloy, consistent with the influence of
aluminum on the coherency strains associated with a’ precipitation. The fracture mechanism in both alloys changes from ductile
dimples in the solution- treated and quenched condition to a mix of ductile dimples, intergranular fracture, and transgranular
cleavage with increased aging times. Longitudinal cracking at the grain boundaries precedes failure of the aged alloys in
tension; it is attributed to the combined effects of void initiation at fine grain boundary precipitates, a’ embrittlement
that limits localized plasticity, and the transverse stress components resulting from triaxiality after the onset of necking. 相似文献

The main goal of this work was to evaluate the effectiveness of Walker’s equation in collapsing the fatigue crack propagation
data of a SAE AMS 7475-T7351 aluminum alloy loaded either longitudinally (L-T) or transversely (T-L) to the rolling direction.
T-L orientation testpieces presented lower ductility and fracture toughness values than L-T orientation. As a consequence,
during the fatigue crack propagation tests, T-L testpieces exhibited a stronger influence of monotonic modes of fracture,
resulting in higher Paris exponent values,m. Walker’s model was able to collapse fatigue crack propagation data of L-T test pieces at different applied stress ratios,R. However, for the T-L orientation, due to theR ratio dependency onm andC, simply averaging ofm values for the calculations of Walker’s exponent proved to be inefficient. A simple analytical procedure was proposed by
the authors to modify Walker’s model to take into account such effect. For T-L test pieces, when Walker’s model is modified
by considering both Paris’s exponent as well the coefficient as a function of theR ratio, the fatigue crack growth data collapses within a narrow band, thus allowing predictions to be made satisfactorily.
The collapsed band is even narrower if the empirical relationm=a+blogC is used instead of simple polynomial equations due to a better correlation coefficient. 相似文献

Influence of service-induced microstructural changes on the aging kinetics of rejuvenated Ni-based superalloy gas turbine blades 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Rejuvenation of Ni-based superalloy gas turbine blades is widely and successfully employed in order to restore the material
microstructure and properties after service at high temperature and stresses. Application of hot isostatic pressing (HIP)
and re-heat treatment can restore even a severely overaged blade microstructure to practically “as-new” condition. However,
certain service-induced microstructural changes might affect an alloy’s behavior after the rejuvenated blades are returned
to service. It was found that advanced service-induced decomposition of primary MC carbides, and the consequent changes of
the γ-matrix chemical composition during the rejuvenation, can cause a considerable acceleration of the aging process in the next
service cycle. The paper will discuss the influence of the previous microstructural deterioration on the aging kinetics of
rejuvenated gas turbine blades made from IN-738 and conventionally cast GTD-111 alloys. 相似文献

CMSX-4 is a single-crystalline Ni-base superalloy designed to be used at very high temperatures and high mechanical loadings.
Its excellent corrosion resistance is due to external alumina-scale formation, which however can become less protective under
thermal-cycling conditions. The metallic substrate in combination with its superficial oxide scale has to be considered as
a composite suffering high stresses. Factors like different coefficients of thermal expansion between oxide and substrate
during temperature changes or growing stresses affect the integrity of the oxide scale. This must also be strongly influenced
by the thickness of the oxide scale and the substrate as well as the ability to relief such stresses, e.g., by creep deformation.
In order to quantify these effects, thin-walled specimens of different thickness (t = 100−500 μm) were prepared. Discontinuous measurements of their mass changes were carried out under thermal-cycling conditions
at a hot dwell temperature of 1100 °C up to 300 thermal cycles. Thin-walled specimens revealed a much lower oxide-spallation
rate compared to thick-walled specimens, while thin-walled specimens might show a premature depletion of scale-forming elements.
In order to determine which of these competetive factor is more detrimental in terms of a component’s lifetime, the degradation
by internal precipitation was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in combination with energy-dispersive X-ray
spectroscopy (EDS). Additionally, a recently developed statistical spallation model was applied to experimental data [D. Poquillon
and D. Monceau, Oxidation of Metals, 59, 409–431 (2003)]. The model describes the overall mass change by oxide scale spallation during thermal cycling exposure and
is a useful simulation tool for oxide scale spallation processes accounting for variations in the specimen geometry. The evolution
of the net-mass change vs. the number of thermal cycles seems to be strongly dependent on the sample thickness. 相似文献

Open-cell nickel foams with average pore size of 600 μm have been subjected to room temperature tensile tests to explore their
tensile properties. Using a state of the art extensometer of noncontact type, foam properties as ultimate tensile strength,
yield strength, and the Young’s modulus (E) have been measured accurately. The reason behind the usage of this kind of extensometer is to avoid completely any minor
deformation that might be caused by the attachment of conventional extensometer to the sample’s surface prior to testing.
The function of this extensometer is based on the usage of a laser (CCD) camera that detects and records the dimensional changes
as soon as the load is applied. A series of cyclic loading-unloading tests was performed to determine the foam’s Young’s modulus.
The fracture behavior of foam cells was observed to be ductile. Complete separation of struts or cell walls took place successively
by necking. 相似文献

The adherence of protective oxide scales to alloy substrates is governed by the stored elastic energy in the scale which drives delamination and the fracture resistance of the alloy oxide interface. Clearly, any modifications to the alloy or the exposure environment which decreases the former or increases the latter will improve the durability of a given system. The stored elastic energy is determined by the stress level in the scale and the scale thickness. The stress state in the scale is determined by stresses which arise during the oxide formation (Growth Stresses), stresses produced during temperature changes as the result of thermal expansion mismatch between the oxide and the alloy (Thermal Stresses), and any stress relaxation which occurs as the result of creep of the scale or alloy. The fracture energy of the interface is a function of the composition at the interface, the microstructure in the interfacial region, and the composition of the exposure environment. This paper focuses on the results of studies of a variety of alloys and coatings, all of which form continuous alumina scales, in which it has been attempted to evaluate the effects of various alloy and exposure parameters on the stress state in the scale, the microstructure of the alloy/oxide interface, and the fracture resistance of the interface. The alloy parameters include alloy type, sulfur content, and reactive element content. The exposure parameters include oxidation temperature, temperature profile during exposure, and water vapor and sulfur contents of the atmosphere. 相似文献

The effects of artificial aging on the microstructure and fracture toughness of Al-Cu-Li alloy 2195 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Aluminum-lithium alloys have shown promise for aerospace applications, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
has selected the aluminum-lithium Alloy 2195 for the main structural alloy of the super light weight tank (SLWT) for the space
shuttle. This alloy has significantly higher strength than conventional2xxx alloys (such as 2219) at both ambient and cryogenic temperatures. If properly processed and heat treated, this alloy can
display higher fracture toughness at cryogenic temperature than at ambient temperature. However, the properties of production
materials have shown greater variation than those of other established alloys, as is the case with any new alloy that is being
transitioned to a demanding application.
Recently, some commercial 2195 plates for the SLWT program were rejected, mostly due to low CFT or FTR at ambient and cryogenic
temperatures. Investigation of the microstructure property relationships of Al-Cu-Li based alloys indicates that the poor
fracture toughness properties can be attributed to excessive T1 precipitation at subgrain boundaries. Lowering the aging temperature is one way to avoid excessive T1 precipitation at subgrain boundaries. However, this approach results in a significant drop in yield strength. In addition,
low-temperature aging is associated with sluggish aging kinetics, which are not desirable for industrial mass production.
Therefore, the present study was undertaken to develop an aging process that can improve fracture toughness without sacrificing
yield and tensile strength.
A multistep heating-rate controlled (MSRC) aging treatment has been developed that can improve the cryogenic fracture toughness
of aluminum-lithium Alloy 2195. At the same levels of yield strength (YS), this treatment results in considerably higher fracture
toughness than that found in Alloy 2195, which has received conventional (isothermal) aging. Transmission electron microscopy
revealed that the new treatment greatly reduces the size and density of subgrain-boundary T1 precipitates. In addition, it promotes T1 and θ" nucleation, resulting in a fine and dense distribution of precipitate particles in the matrix. The MSRC aging treatment
consists of (a) aging at 127‡C (260‡F) for 5 h, (b) heating continuously from 127‡C (260‡F) to 135‡C (275‡F) at a rate of
0.556‡C/h (1‡F/h), (c) holding at 135‡C (275‡F) for 5 h, (d) heating continuously from 135 to 143‡C (275 to 290‡F) at a rate
of 0.556‡C/h (1‡F/h), and (e) holding at 143‡C (290‡F) for 25 h to obtain a near peak-aged condition. 相似文献

Since icebergs were first proposed as potential aircraft carriers in World War II, research has led to a better understanding
of the mechanical behavior of ice. While work remains, especially in relating fracture on the small scale to that on the larger
scale and to the appropriate structural features, the groundwork in materials science has been laid. This paper presents an
overview of the structure and mechanical behavior of polycrystalline terrestrial ice.

The J-integral fracture toughness and tensile behavior of AL-6XN (ATI Properties Inc., Pittsburgh, PA, USA) plate material in the
short-transverse (S-T) orientation was studied. The material was tested with respect to the presence or absence of microstructural
‘packets’ of brittle sigma phase (σ-phase) particles within the austenite matrix, located near the centerline of the plate.
The J-integral-fracture resistance curve (J-R-curve) qualitatively indicated that the presence of the σ-phase packets is a detriment to the fracture toughness of the material
in the S-T orientation. Tensile specimens containing the packets of σ-phase particles exhibited reduced yield and tensile
strengths as well as pronounced reduction in ductility compared to specimens nominally free of σ-phase packets. Particle cracking
was observed within the σ-phase packets, which lead to premature fracture. This limited the ability of the material to plastically
deform and work-harden, thereby accounting for the observed reductions in ductility, toughness, and ultimate tensile strength. 相似文献

A study was conducted to observe the oxidation of NiAl+3.5at.%Fe alloy inβ-NiAl phase field at air temperatures of 1000, 1200 and 1400°C, and these results were compared with those of pure NiAl alloys.
The primary effects of the Fe-addition in NiAl were found to be: 1) decrease in oxidation resistance and adherence of scales
during both isothermal and cyclic oxidation tests, 2) enhancement of phase transformation rate from θ toα-AL2O3, 3) more rapid formation of characteristically ridgedα-A12O3 scales during initial oxidation stages, and 4) partial sealing of voids formed at the scale-substrate interface and dissolution
of Fe inside the alumina scale by the outward diffusion of Fe from the substrate alloy. 相似文献

In this work, the parameters stress intensity factor (SIF), initial and final crack lengths (a
i and a
f), crack growth parameters (C and m), and fatigue strength (FAT) are investigated. The determination of initial crack length seems to be the most serious factor
in fatigue life and strength calculations for welded joints. A fracture mechanics approach was used in these calculations
based on SIF which was calculated with the finite element method (FEM). The weld toe crack was determined to be equal to 0.1 mm,
whereas the weld root crack’s length was varied depending on the degree of the weld penetration. These initial crack length
values are applicable for all types of joints which have the same crack phenomenon. As based on the above calculated parameters,
the new limits of FAT for new geometries which are not listed yet in recommendations can be calculated according to the current
approach. 相似文献

The flame quenching process has been employed to modify the surfaces of a commercial marine propeller material, aluminum bronze
alloy (Cu−9Al−5Ni−5Fe), and the material’s microstructure and hardness properties have been studied. The thermal history was
accurately monitored during the process at various surface temperatures and holding times. XRD and EDX analyses have shown
that aboveT
β
temperature the microstructure consisting of α and κ phases changes into α and β’ martensite due to an eutectoid reaction
of α+β→κ and a martensitic transformation of β→β’. The β’ martensite phase formed has a face-centered cubic (FCC) crystal structure with typical twinned structure. The hardness of the flame-quenched layer having the α+β’ structure is
similar to or lower than that of the α+κ structure, depending highly on the size and distribution of β’ and κ phases. It is
noted that the sliding wear resistance of the flame-quenched layer is enhanced with the formation of β’ martensite. 相似文献

Metal-matrix composites have been receiving considerable attention as light-weight materials for use in many advanced technology
applications. Silicon carbide (SiC) particles and whiskers have several advantages over other discontinuous reinforcements.
Studies have shown that heat treatment can change the mechanical properties of metal-matrix composites.
Modified heat treatments were developed for SiCp/6061 Al composites through a series of heat treatment with varied solution temperatures and aging time. Mechanical tests
were conducted to determine the mechanical properties of the composites in three conditions; as-received, annealed, and heat
treated. The modified heat treatments resulted in increases in the yield strength of up to 12% over the manufacturer’s reported
yield strength for the standard T6 heat treatment. The trends which occur during heat treatment of SiCp/6061 Al are simular to those which occur during heat treatment of aluminum alloys. In addition, the relationship between
the mechanical properties and the heat treatment parameters was documented. Throughout this study, the values of elastic modules
were rather erratic compared to the strength values. Scanning Electron Microscope fractographic analysis revealed various
fracture initiation sites, such as particle clusters and iron inclusions. 相似文献

The oxidation behaviors of TiB and TiC particle-reinforced, titanium-matrix composites (TMCs) were studied in air at 550–650°C, The oxidation kinetics follow approximately a parabolic rate law. The oxidation rates, which were lower than those of Ti6242, decrease gradually as oxidation proceeds. The oxide scales formed on TMCs were predominantly rutile and α-Al2O3. No B2O3 and other oxides were observed within the oxide scale. The in situ-synthesized TiB and TiC reinforcements can increase the oxidation resistance of TMCs. The oxide scales that formed exhibited excellent spallation resistance under all testing conditions. No scale cracking or spallation could be observed, implying that growth and thermal stresses generated during heating and cooling have been effectively released. The mechanisms of the decrease in oxidation rate and the improvement on spallation resistance are discussed based on microstructure studies. 相似文献

Mechanical properties of thermally sprayed coatings, especially of ceramics, are strongly influenced by a high density of
mesoscopic defects, microcracks of dimensions between fractions of μm up to tens of μm. The anisotropic linear elastic stress–strain
relations are valid only at very low deformations, e.g., |e| < 0.05%, with small values of Young’s moduli due to elastic openings and elastic partial closings of microcracks. At higher
deformations, e.g., 0.05% < |e| < 0.4%, the stress–strain relations are strongly nonlinear. Under compressive stresses, elastic closing of microcracks leads
to a gradual decrease of the microcrack density and to an increase of Young’s modulus in compression. Under tensile stresses,
the microcracks slightly grow by inelastic processes; the microcrack density gradually increases and effective Young’s modulus
in tension decreases. A two-parametric equation containing linear and quadratic terms is used to describe the nonlinear stress–strain
curves of plasma-sprayed ceramic coatings. The effect of nonlinearity on the bending of beams with coatings and the nonlinear
combination of external and residual stresses are discussed. The fracture of coatings at higher tensile stresses due to coalescence
of the microcracks is mentioned. 相似文献

Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio for thermal spray coatings are needed to evaluate properties and characteristics of thermal
spray coatings such as residual stresses, fracture toughness, and fatigue crack growth rates. It is difficult to evaluate
Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio of thermal spray coatings be-cause coatings are usually thin and attached to a thicker
and much stiffer substrate. Under loading, the substrate restricts the coating from deforming. Since coatings are used while
bonded to a substrate, it is desirable to have a procedure to evaluate Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio in situ.
The cantilever beam method to evaluate the Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio of thermal spray coat-ings is presented. The
method uses strain gages located on the coating and substrate surfaces. A series of increasing loads is applied to the end
of the cantilever beam. The moment at the gaged section is calcu-lated. Using a laminated plate bending theory, the Young’s
modulus and Poisson’s ratio are inferred based on a least squares fit of the equilibrium equations. The method is verified
by comparing predicted values of Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio with reference values from a three-dimensional finite
ele-ment analysis of the thermal spray coated cantilever beam. The sensitivity of the method is examined with respect to the
accuracy of measured quantities such as strain gage readings, specimen dimensions, ap-plied bending moment, and substrate
mechanical properties. The method is applied to evaluate the Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio of four thermal spray coatings
of industrial importance. 相似文献

This study investigated stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of A588 steel welds as determined by U-bend immersion tests and slow
strain rate tensile (SSRT) tests to evaluate the steel’s cracking susceptibility in various regions of the weldments. The
immersion test results indicated that the fusion zone (FZ) had better corrosion resistance than the other regions in the weld.
It was also demonstrated that the columnar grain boundaries exhibited a higher resistance to corrosion than the grain interior
of the FZ. However, the coarse elongated ferrite in the FZ is susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement (HE), which results in
the formation of microcracks. As a result, a severe degradation of the weld’s tensile properties in the saturated H2S solution was observed. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) fractographs of tensile specimens reveal a cleavage fracture in
the coarse-grained heat-affected zone (CGHAZ) and featherlike rupture in the FZ, both indicating a high sensitivity to HE. 相似文献
