An assumption-free general method is developed for quantitative estimation of fracture surface roughness from the measurements
performed on the fracture profiles generated by sectioning planes which are normal to the average topographic plane of the
fracture surface. The input data are the profile roughness parameter,R
L, and angular orientation distribution of line elements on the fracture profile,f(α). It is shown that

The wetting of molten aluminum on the “c”-plane (0001) of single-crystal α-Al2O3 (sapphire) was studied by the sessile drop technique from 800 °C (1073 K) to 1200 °C (1473 K). Systematically increasing
the (0001) surface roughness by SiC abrasion increased the wetting contact angle, resulting in reduced wetting. The surface
roughness factor R originally defined by Wenzel, was determined as a function of the abrasion, temperature, and time. The wetting decreases
as the surface roughness increases. Rough surfaces also create time and temperature effects on wetting, changing those for
a smoothly polished surface. The existence of a high-temperature surface structural transition for (0001) of α-Al2O3, which has been previously suggested, was confirmed. Increased roughness R accents the effect of the surface structural transition, increasing the wetting contact angle changes during the transition. 相似文献

This article describes a framework applicable to the measurement and interpretation of the fracture energy of bimaterial interfaces.
A major conclusion of this study is that the fracture energy, Γi, is not unique and usually exhibits values substantially larger than the thermodynamic “work of adhesion. ” The lack of uniqueness
is related to mode mixity (shear/opening) effects experienced by interface cracks, as characterized by the phase angle of
loading, ψ: typically, Γi, is found to increase as ψ increases. These trends are attributed to crack shielding caused by roughness of the interface
fracture surface, to material nonlinearity,etc. The phase angle is, in turn, influenced by the choice of test specimen, resulting in values of Γi that differ between specimens in a manner attributed to the locus of Γi with ψ. Preliminary models that relate Γi to roughness, plasticity, segregation,etc., are described, leading to insights concerning microstructural aspects of “weaklrd and “strong” interfaces.

It is generally believed that, for an otherwise constant microstructure, the crack tip opening displacement at fracture(δ,
IC) will scale with the primary particle spacing,X
o. However, fracture toughness is also influenced by the microstructure as well as by particle spacing and volume fraction.
It has been proposed that the extents of primary void growth could be used as a measure of the influence of microstructure
on toughness. Two approaches to using the extents of primary void growth have been suggested. In one, it was proposed that
δ,IC would scale asX
o(Rv/RI), whereR
v is the radius of the void as viewed normal to the fracture surface andR, is the radius of the particle nucleating the void. In the second, it has been proposed that a measure of the true local
strain would be Inh/2R
1), whereh is the depth of the void, and that δIC would scale asL Inh/2R
1), whereL is some microstructural distance, taken here to beX
o. These two approaches have been tested for materials for which δIC ranges from about 7 to over 150 μm. The results suggest that the two proposed scalings hold only for high-strength microstructures
of low constrained ductility containing primary particles of small spacings and which blunt smoothly and not to vertices.

The interrelationship of fracture toughness and microstructure in a Ti-5.25Al-5.5V-0.9Fe-0.5Cu alloy
Fracture toughness of anα-Β titanium alloy heat treated to a constant yield strength has been found to depend upon the morphology of α produced or remaining
after the initial solution treatment. In equiaxed α structures, fracture toughness depends linearly upon the grain boundary
area per unit volume,S
v, and is independent of equiaxed α particle size or spacing. In a grain boundary α structure fracture toughness depends both
onS
v and, within limits, linearly on the thickness of the α. Explanations are offered for the observed propagation of cracks at
α-@#@ Β interfaces and for the observation that high fracture toughness can accompany low tensile ductility.

To gain insight into the factors which control the creep-rupture properties of powder metallurgical nickel-base superalloys
at intermediate temperatures (650 to 775°C), a comparative study was conducted on the alloys AF115, modified MAR-M432 (B6)
and modified IN100 (MERL76). Creep-rupture properties in these alloys were characterized in terms of the stress and temperature
dependence of the secondary creep rate, εS, andrupture time,t

. Within the limited stress ranges used, the stress dependence of both εS andt
R
at 704°C can be represented by power laws εS andC

; whereC,M, n, andp are constants. The stress exponentsn andp are approximately equal for both AF115 and B6 with values of 16 and 7, respectively. In the case of MERL76,n andp are different, with values of 15 and 5, respectively. The apparent activation energies,Q, are 700, 370 and 520 KJ mol-1 for AF115, B6 and MERL76, respectively. For these alloys, long creep-rupture lives are associated with large values ofn andQ. The sig-nificant differences inn andQ values between AF115 and B6 were related to creep re-covery processes for which the lattice misfit between the gamma and
the gamma prime was identified to be an important parameter. However, the unequaln andp values in MERL76 compared with those in AF115 and B6, were traced to differences in fracture mode. Failures in AF115 and
B6 were initiated at carbide particles at grain boundaries. In contrast, fracture in MERL76 was initiated at grain boundary
triple junctions. The rupture lives of AF115 and B6 can be modeled reasonably well by the growth of cavities during secondary
creep and propagation of a surface-nucleated crack during the tertiary creep. 相似文献

The effect of matrix strength on void nucleation and growth in an alpha-beta titanium alloy,CORONA-5
This work was undertaken to examine the effect of increasing matrix strength at constant equiaxed microstructure on void nucleation
and growth in the titanium alloy, CORONA-5, Ti-4.5Al-5Mo-1.5Cr. A martensite and a beta matrix were used in the as-quenched
and the heat treated conditions. For each matrix, fine and coarse alpha sizes were produced and a third size of alpha was
used for the as-quenched condition of the martensite series. The processing procedures produced an aligned alpha structure
which was most pronounced in the fine structure. Void nucleation occurred in an aligned fashion and took place predominantly
atα /martensite orα/β interfaces. An explanation is offered for the aligned nucleation in terms of nonuniform deformation of the banded structure
which appeared most prominently after heat treatment to produce the coarser microstructure. An incubation strain was found
for both types of matrices. The incubation strain increased for the interface in the following order: martensite/martensite,α /martensite, andα/ β. The incubation strain for martensite/martensite interfaces was relatively independent of the matrix strength. Void growth
as a function of true strain was generally found to occur in two stages, a slow stage I and a more rapid stage II. Stage II
growth occurred as a result of coalescence of voids growing toward one another from nearby particles. Stage II growth was
more rapid for the martensite matrix than for theβ matrix. For the martensite matrix void growth rates could not be accounted for either on the basis of strength or strain
hardening rates. However, the longest void growth rate was found to increase as the function λ
N
/d
α
L
increased. λN is the interparticle spacing normal to the tensile axis and
α
L
is the alpha particle size parallel to the tensile axis. For the beta matrix void growth rates increased with increasing
yield s trength and decreased with increasing strain hardening. It was not possible to relate fracture strength to an extrapolated
longest void at fracture as was done in earlier studies. This is explained in terms of the nonuniformity of fracture paths
observed in the alloy. 相似文献

Based on the scale-length comparisons of the microscale heat or solutal-mass transfers with dendrite structures, a general
form for the time-differential mixture-averaged composition (TDMAC) term for a macroscale metallic dendrite solidification
model with any finite solid backdiffusion (SBD) was shown to be necessary and valid. Starting from such an integral term-included
TDMAC expression with a general dendrite geometric modeling, Fick’s second diffusion law and the species massconservation
principle were applied to confirm the equivalency of a unified Φ-parameter-involved all-differential TDMAC form to the original
TDMAC term. Through the modeling, the unified microscale parameter Φ was found to be a function of the Fourier diffusion number
with dendrite geometrical modifications (ϕ) and of another nondimensional parameter, θ, representing the sensibility of the interdendritic-liquid-concentration variation in response to the SBD inside the growing
dendrites. In the solved ϕ-parameter function of ϕ= (D

Φ parameter was proposed to take a function form of Φ=θ·ϕ/(1+θ · ϕ), where θ=(1+β) · k · f

The mixing of liquids in ladles, (0.5 ≦L/D ≦ 2.0), agitated by a centrally rising bubble plume, has been analyzed both theoretically and experimentally. An exhaustive
review of previous metallurgical literature on mixing in ladles and furnaces demonstrates that the majority of previous investigators
in the field consider mixing to be brought about primarily by turbulent diffusion phenomena. The present study clearly shows
that mixing is a combination of both convection and eddy diffusion processes, neither of which can be disregarded for gas
stirred systems. For predicting mixing times during such gas injection procedures, a simple empirical equation is proposed
for axisymmetric systems:τ
mαεm
−1/3L−1R5/3. Hereτ
m is the 95 pct mixing time,ε
m is the specific energy input rate,R is the vessel radius, andL is the depth of liquid. On the basis of physical and mathematical modeling, the rate of liquid mixing in conventional gas
injection ladle metallurgy operations is compared with those observed in C.A.S. (composition adjustment by sealed argon bubbling)
systems. It was found that mixing in C.A.S. operations is relatively slow and highly insensitive to gas flowrates(i.e., specific energy input rates). 相似文献

Structure and properties of a β solution treated,quenched, and aged si-bearing near-α titanium alloy
The microstructure, tensile properties, and fractographic features of a near-α titanium alloy, IMI 829(Ti-6.1 wt pct Al-3.2
wt pct Zr-3.3 wt pct Sn-1 wt pct Nb-05 wt pct Mo-0.32 wt pct Si) have been studied after aging over a temperature range of
550°C to 950°C for 24 hours following solution treatment in the β phase field at 1050°C and water quenching. Transmission
electron microscopy studies revealed that aging at 625°C and above produced discrete silicides at α′ interplatelet boundaries.
However, aging at 900°C and above has also resulted in the precipitation of β phase along the lath boundaries of martensite.
The silicides have been found to have a hexagonal structure withc=0.36 nm anda=0.70 nm (designated as S2 by earlier workers). There is a significant improvement in yield and ultimate tensile strength after aging at 625°C, but
there is less improvement at higher aging temperatures. The tensile ductility is found to be drastically reduced. While the
fracture surface of the unaged specimen shows elongated dimples, the aged samples show a mixed mode of fracture, consisting
of facets, featureless parallel bands, and extremely fine dimples. 相似文献

The effects of surface roughness on the low-cycle fatigue life of Type 304 stainless steel at 593°C in air have been investigated.
It is observed that, at a strain rate of 4 × 10−3 s−1 and a total strain range of 1 pct, the fatigue life (N
f cycles) decreases with an increase in surface roughness. Information on crack growthvs strain cycles has been generated, as a function of surface roughness, by the measurement of striation spacing on fractured
surfaces of specimens tested to failure. Crack propagation follows the Ina ∞N (wherea is the crack length afterN strain cycles) relation for longer specimen fatigue lives (Nf > 2700 cycles) and departs from Ina ∞N for shorter fatigue lives. A quantitative estimate is made of the number of cycles No(r) to generate a crack length equal to 0.1 mm (≈ 1 grain diam). The initial surface roughness significantly affects only the
initiation component of specimen life time. The effect of roughness on crack initiation is described byN

A study has been made of the effects of cold work prior to aging on precipitation hardening in selected Al-Cu-Mg-(Ag) and
Al-Cu-Li-(Mg-Ag) alloys. General aging characteristics have been determined by differential scanning calorimetry, and response
to hardening has been correlated with microstructure using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron
dif-fraction (SAED), and quantitative stereology. Particular attention has been given to the phases Ω andT
1 that form on the {111 }α planes, although information on the precipitates θ′,S′ (orS), and δ′ is also reported. Although Ω andT
1, have similar morphologies and habit planes, their response to cold work prior to aging is different. Deformation promotesT
1 formation at the expense of the δ′ phase in Al-Cu-Li alloys and at the expense of δ′, θ′, andS′ in Al-Cu-Li-Mg-Ag alloys. On the other hand, in Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloys, deformation assists precipitation of θ′ at the expense
of Ω phase, and some decrease is recorded in the hardening response. Prior cold work is also found to reduce the response
during natural aging in most alloys. These results are discussed in terms of the role of particular alloying additions.

Microstructural stability in the near-α titanium alloy (alloy 834) containing Ti-6Al-4Sn-4Zr-0.70Nb-0.50Mo-0.40Si (in weight
percent), in the β and(α + β) solution-treated and quenched conditions, has been investigated. The β transus for this alloy is approximately 1333 K. Solution
treatment in the β phase field at 1353 K followed by quenching in water at room temperature resulted in the formation of α′
martensite platelets with high dislocation density and stacking faults. Thin films of β are found to be sandwiched between
interface phases, which, in turn, are sandwiched at the interplatelet boundaries of lath martensite. The interface phase is
a subject of much controversy in the literature. Solution treatment at 1303 K in the(α + β) phase field followed by quenching in water at room temperature resulted in the near-equiaxed primary α and transformed β.
Both the β and(α + β) solution-treated specimens were aged in the temperature range of 873 to 973 K. While aging the —treated specimen at 973 K,(α + β)-treated specimen, even at a lower temperature of 873 K for 24 hours, caused precipitation of suicides predominantly
at the interplatelet boundaries of martensite laths. Electron diffraction analysis confirmed them to be hexagonal suicide
S2 witha = 0.702 nm andc = 0.368 nm. The above difference in the precipitation could be attributed to the partitioning of a higher amount of β- stabilizing elements as well as silicide-forming elements to the transformed β in the(α + β) solution-treated condition. However, ordering of theα′ phase was observed under all of the aging conditions studied. The ordered domains were due to the longer aging times, which
cause local increases in the level of theα-stabilizing elements.

It is shown that for a Ti-8 wt pct Al alloy aged at a temperature high in the two-phase region (695°C) to precipitate the
ordered α2 phase, an increase in oxygen content from 600 ppm to 1200 ppm decreases the fracture strain from 20 to 1 pct elongation at
room temperature and slightly increases the yield strength. The fracture mode is changed from dimpled rupture to predominantly
cleavage. Further increase in oxygen content to 3000 ppm does not produce significant additional changes in ductility or yield
strength. It is demonstrated that oxygen additions alter the position of the α/α + α2 coherent solvus, resulting in formation of coherent α2 in specimens containing ⪞ 1000 ppm oxygen aged at 968 K (695°C). For a given aging time the volume fraction of α2 increases with increasing oxygen up to 1300 wt ppm and then levels off. The changes in mechanical behavior are attributed
to the presence of α2. The experimental evidence suggests that oxygen partitions preferentially into α2.

The influence of the stress triaxiality on void formation, void growth, and fracture was investigated for an equiaxed Ti-6A1-4V
alloy. Void nucleation in theα phase was found to occur for a critical value of macroscopic plastic strain, whereas void nucleation at theα/β interface also depends on triaxiality. Under low triaxiality and important plastic strain, voids appear and grow in the area
where the microshear bands develop, with an angle close to 45 deg to the stress axis in theα particles. In contrast, with high triaxiality, voids nucleate preferably at theα/β interfaces and grow perpendicular to the stress axis by a cleavage mechanism. In a middle range of triaxiality and plastic
strain, voids nucleate inα because of the sufficient plastic strain and also at theαβ interfaces because of the sufficient triaxiality(X). Void growth occurs with an angle of 60 deg to the stress axis, sinceX is not high enough to create cleavage andε
p is high enough to provide a ductile growth. Two types of fracture were identified and reported on a fracture map: under low
triaxiality, failure appears by plastic instability, whereas for high triaxiality, the instability is induced by a void-growth
process discussed with the help of Rice and Tracey’s approach. 相似文献

The deformation and fracture behaviors of the Ti-24Al-11Nb alloy with an equiaxed α2 + β microstructure have been characterized as a function of temperature by performing uniaxial tension andJ
IC
fracture toughness tests. The micromechanisms of crack initiation and growth have been studied bypost mortem fractographic and metallographic examinations of fractured specimens, as well as byin situ observation of the fracture events in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with a high-temperature loading stage.
The results indicate that quasistatic crack growth in the Ti-24Al-11Nb alloy occurs by nucleation and linkage of the microcracks
with the main crack, with the latter frequently bridged by ductile β ligaments. Three microcrack initiation mechanisms have
been identified: (1) decohesion of planar slipbands in the α2 matrix, (2) formation of voids and microcracks in β, and (3) cracking at or near the α2 + β interface due to strain incompatibility resulting from impinging planar slip originated in α2. The sources of fracture toughness in the 25 °C to 450 °C range have been attributed to crack tip blunting, crack deflection,
and a bridging mechanism provided by the ductile β phase. At 600 °C, a change of toughening mechanisms leads to a lowering
of the initiation toughness (theK
IC
value) but a drastic increase in the crack growth toughness and the tearing modulus. 相似文献

The precipitated characteristics of α″-Fe16N2 nitrides in the diffusion layer of ion-nitrided pure iron were investigated with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and
high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM). Three sets of α″ nitrides, whose habit planes are (100)α,(010)α,(001)α, respectively, do not precipitate simultaneously from the diffusion layer, which is different from the normal homogeneous
precipitation in Fe-N alloys. Unlike the typical disc-shaped morphology reported widely, the α″ nitrides in the diffusion layer appear as ribbonlike slices. They grow on {001}α matrix planes with a parallel orientation relationship, and the direction of their length is parallel to the <110>α direction. The interface between the α″ nitride and α matrix and a 7 deg [111]/(112) low-angle-tilt grain boundary in the α″ nitride were examined with HREM. The distributions of dislocations at the interface and the grain boundary were investigated.
During microstructural examination, it was observed that a γ′-Fe4N nitride could grow on an α″ nitride directly. The orientation relationship during the α″ → γ′ nitride transformation was determined as to be (001)γ//(110)α,[110]γ//[111]α. 相似文献
