AZ61镁合金薄板超塑性变形特征的SEM研究

利用扫描电镜(SEM)和超塑性拉伸实验对一次热挤压加工成型的AZ61镁合金薄板(晶粒尺寸～12μm)超塑性变形特征进行了研究.结果显示,在最佳的变形温度(623K)和应变速率(1×10-4s-1)条件下,可获得的最大的超塑性形变量为920%.在523～673 K实验温度和1×10-2～1×10-5s-1应变速率范围内,材料的应变速率敏感指数(m值)随实验温度升高和应变速率的降低而增加.较高的m值(0.42～0.46)对应于晶界滑动机制(GBS),而较低的m值(0.22～0.25)则对应于位错滑移机制.变形温度和应变速率是影响超塑性变形量和变量机制的主要因素.

Pb-Sn共晶合金超塑性变形三维力学行为图

本文的研究首次表明,可以通过分析恒定拉伸速度得到的拉伸试验数据来建立超塑性变形的应力、应变速率及应变的三维力学行为图。在此基础上,对Pb—So共晶合金的三维力学行为进行分析,可以获得应变速率敏感性指数m值作为应变和应变速率的二元函数的变化(应变速率和应变的对数坐标系上的等m值曲线)。由此可以给出超塑性变形时应变和应变速率区的限度,有益于指导实际的超塑性成型。     

工业铝合金LD10棒材的超塑性变形特性

本文通过拉伸试验研究了供应状态的LD10铝合金经简单预处理后所表现出的超塑性变形特性。在温度420～460℃,初始应变速率1.67—8.33×10~(-3)s~(-1)的范围内,可获得300％以上的延伸率。最佳变形温度为460℃,在此温度下以8.33×10~(-3)s~(-1)的初始应变速率变形时,延伸率达448.5％,流动应力为11MPa,m值为0.49。扫描电镜观察表明变形过程中空洞的长大与连接是导致拉伸试样断裂的直接原因。     

Zn-5Al超塑合金的恒载荷拉伸实验研究

研究表明，Zn-5Al超塑性合金的应变速率敏感指数m和超塑性变形激活能Q值和超塑性流动粘滞系数η可采用恒载荷蠕变法进行测定，在恒载荷变形条件下，应变速率敏感指数m随应变速率的增加而增大，超塑性流动的粘滞系数η随应变速率的增加而减小，超塑拉伸前对轧态试样进行保温处理时，由于通过回复和再结晶释放了合金中的储能，降低了超塑变形的动力，导致变形抗力增加而延伸率下降。

热挤压态SiCP-LY12复合材料的超塑性变形

未经任何热处理的热挤压态SiC_P-LY12复合材料在基体固相点附近获得超塑性变形,在温度495～510C、应变速率2×10-4s-1时,终断延伸率大于150%。对试验数据的分析表明,在前述变形参数范围内,复合材料的变形机制发生了变化,使终断延伸率显著升高,但复合材料超塑性变形过程的应变速率敏感性指数(m)在同一温度下的m值随应变速率降低而逐渐增大,其最高值并未对应于最大延伸率;同时,应力-应变曲线在通常的动态再结晶阶段后出现一个独特的应变硬化阶段,直至最终断裂。微结构观察发现,变形初期复合材料即发生动态再结晶,据此推测,前述异常硬化阶段可能与再结晶组织的长大有关。另一方面,SiC_P-Al界面在变形过程中严重弱化,成为裂纹优先扩展的路径,不利于获得高的延伸率。

Insertion of triangulated surfaces into a meccano tetrahedral discretization by means of mesh refinement and optimization procedures

In this paper, we present a new method for inserting several triangulated surfaces into an existing tetrahedral mesh generated by the meccano method. The result is a conformal mesh where each inserted surface is approximated by a set of faces of the final tetrahedral mesh. First, the tetrahedral mesh is refined around the inserted surfaces to capture their geometric features. Second, each immersed surface is approximated by a set of faces from the tetrahedral mesh. Third, following a novel approach, the nodes of the approximated surfaces are mapped to the corresponding immersed surface. Fourth, we untangle and smooth the mesh by optimizing a regularized shape distortion measure for tetrahedral elements in which we move all the nodes of the mesh, restricting the movement of the edge and surface nodes along the corresponding entity they belong to. The refining process allows approximating the immersed surface for any initial meccano tetrahedral mesh. Moreover, the proposed projection method avoids computational expensive geometric projections. Finally, the applied simultaneous untangling and smoothing process delivers a high‐quality mesh and ensures that the immersed surfaces are interpolated. Several examples are presented to assess the properties of the proposed method.

Flow calorimeter for enthalpy increment measurements on condensed gases

A flow calorimeter for enthalpy increment measurements on condensed gases is presented. A better knowledge of the properties of the liquefied natural gas is needed, and therefore a liquid loop has been designed for our flow calorimeter. The fluid loop in the calorimeter is designed in order to avoid the two-phase region, since two phases would give compositional disturbances in the measurements. The avoidance of the two-phase region is made possible by increasing the pressure of the test fluid after the measurement section, then heating the fluid at super-critical pressure past the critical point. Finally, the fluid is throttled to the low-pressure gas state at the inlet condition of the compressor that circulates the fluid. To perform the pressure increase, a new cryogenic pump has been designed. To evaluate the new equipment, measurements were taken on liquid ethane over the temperature range 146–256 K at pressure between 0.9 and 5.1 MPa.

Roman iron and steel: A review

ABSTRACT

The production of ferrous metal increased during the Roman Late Republican period, Principate and Empire. The direct bloomery process was used to extract the metal from its ores using slag-tapping and slag-pit furnaces. The fuel was charcoal and an air blast was introduced by bellows-operated tuyères. Iron formed as a bloom, often as a spongy mass of metal, which contained impurities from the smelting process, including unreacted ore, fuel, slag and fragments from the furnace walls, while the metal was often inhomogeneous with varied carbon contents. Blooms were either smithed directly into bars or ingots or they were broken up, which also allowed the removal of gross impurities and a selection of pieces with similar properties to be made. These could then be forge-welded together and formed into characteristically shaped ingots. Making steel in the furnace seems to have been achieved: it depended on the ore and the furnace and conditions within it. Surface carburization was also carried out. Iron and steel were used extensively in construction and for tools and weapons. Fire welding was often used to add pieces of steel to make the edges of tools and weapons, which could be heat-treated by quenching to harden them.     

A study of centrifugal cast high boron high speed steel

In the present study a high‐boron high speed steel (HSS) roll material was designed. Many expensive alloy elements have been substituted by cheap boron alloy, and high‐boron high speed steel roll has been manufactured by centrifugal casting method. The microstructures, mechanical properties and wear resistance of centrifugal casting high‐boron high speed steel roll have been investigated by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, hardness test, impact test and wear test. The results indicated that the solidification microstructures of high‐boron high speed steel roll consisted of M₂(B,C), (W,Mo)₂(B,C), M₃(B,C), M₂₃(B,C)₆ type borocarbides and martensite, a small amount of retained austenite. Borocarbides were continuously distributed over the grain boundary. After quenching from 1050 °C, local broken network appeared in partial borocarbides, and fine secondary borocarbide precipitated from the matrix. After tempering from 525 °C, the amount of precipitated borocarbide increased significantly. After heat treatment, the hardness of high‐boron high speed steel roll excelled 60 HRC, and its impact toughness excelled 8.0 J/cm². The single groove steel rolling amount of high‐boron high speed steel rolls increases by 500% than that of bainite cast iron roll, when the rolls are used in K₁ mill housing of bar mill.
