Effect of synthetic sea-water on the crack growth properties of HY 140 steel weldment

The influence of a synthetic sea-water environment on the crack growth properties of HY140 steel base metal, heat-affected zone material and weld metal was investigated and the results presented in terms of fracture mechanics parameters. Data were generated under both sustained load and cyclic loading conditions with 1 in. thick compact tension specimens. Results show that a synthetic sea-water environment does not effect the crack growth properties of HY140 steel weldments under the test conditions studied.     

Effect of atmosphere on the PTCR properties of BaTiO3 ceramics

The influence of low-temperature annealing, at < 360 °C, in various reducing and oxidizing atmospheres for a series of BaTiO₃ ceramics with a positive temperature coefficient of resistance (PTCR) is discussed. Combined impedance and modulus spectroscopy is used to analyse a.c. impedance data and shows that the total resistance of the sample can be composed of up to three components, dependent on the cooling rate from the sintering temperature. For quickly cooled samples the PTCR response is dominated by an outer shell on individuals grains, whereas for slowly cooled samples the grain boundary resistance dominates. Annealing in reducing atmospheres destroys the grain boundary PTCR effect whereas the outer-shell grain PTCR effect is relatively insensitive to the reducing atmosphere. It is proposed that the acceptor states responsible for the outer-grain and grain-boundary PTCR effects are predominantly intrinsic metal vacancies, i.e. Ba and/or Ti, and adsorbed oxygen, respectively.     

Effect of nitrogen on properties of submerged arc weld metal

Abstract

A systematic study of the effect of nitrogen contents from 33 to 210 ppm on the microstructure and mechanical properties of submerged arc deposits has indicated that the optimum toughness occurs when the nitrogen content is about 70 ppm. The fracture appearance transition temperature was lower at the highest and lowest nitrogen levels. Changes in the microstructure and mechanical properties of the deposit were satisfactorily interpreted with the aid of a model in which the reaction sequence was Ti with O₂ then Ti with N₂, and then B with N₂.

The probe diagnostics of free-burning arc in the atmosphere

A procedure of ac probe measurements is suggested for spatially unstable and unsteady-state atmospheric-pressure plasma. The procedure is evaluation tested by way of measuring the distribution of concentrations of charged particles in the interelectrode space of extended arc with graphite electrodes, which burns in free atmosphere of air. This arc is distinguished by an atypical geometry of the discharge channel, significant instability of its position in space, and appreciable current and voltage fluctuations.

Effect of the pressure of sputtering atmosphere on the physical properties of amorphous aluminum oxide films

Amorphous aluminum oxide films were prepared by rf-sputtering at various values of the pressure of sputtering atmosphere, and their density, refractive index, Young's modulus and internal stress were measured. The physical properties of the present films depended on the pressure of sputtering atmosphere. The density, refractive index, and Young's modulus decreased with the pressure below about 6.5 Pa, beyond which they increased. The compressive stress and tensile stress were induced in the films depending upon the pressure of sputtering atmosphere, and the tensile stress reached a maximum at the pressure of 6.5 Pa and then decreased as the pressure increased. From the results of the energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), it was found that the pressure of sputtering atmosphere gave a large influence to the chemical composition (the atomic ratio, O/Al) of the film. The pressure dependence of the physical properties was successful to be explained by the change of chemical compositions of the films. The presence of OH group in the films was verified by using FT-IR, and their microstructure was investigated by SEM study.

Effect of sintering atmosphere on properties of porous stainless steel for biomedical applications

This study discusses manufacturing of metallic biomaterials by means of powder metallurgy with consideration for their unquestionable advantages, i.e. opportunities of obtaining materials with controllable porosity. The paper focuses on properties of 316L stainless steel obtained using the method of powder metallurgy with respect to compacting pressure and sintering atmosphere. All the specimens were compacted at 700, 400 and 225 MPa, and sintered at 1250 °C. In order to analyze the sintering atmosphere, three different media were used: dissociated ammonia, hydrogen and vacuum. The study covered sintering density, porosity, microstructure analysis and corrosion resistance. The proposed method of powder metallurgy allowed for obtaining materials with predictable size and distribution of pores, depending on the parameters of sinter preparation (compaction force, sinter atmosphere). High corrosion resistance of the materials (sintering in the atmosphere of hydrogen and in vacuum) and high porosity in the sinters studied offer opportunities for using them for medical purposes.     

Effect of controlled rolling/controlled cooling parameters on microstructure and mechanical properties of the novel pipeline steel

The study of controlled rolling/controlled cooling process parameters which affect the microstructure and mechanical properties of a novel pipeline steel has been optimized by the orthogonal experiment with four factors and three levels in this paper.However,the parameters of thermo-mechanical control process(TMCP)optimized by the Gleeble-3500 hot simulator could not satisfy performance requirements of the X100 pipeline steel.In order to improve the performance of this steel,the influence of finish cooling temperature(FCT) on the microstructure and property is studied in detail.It is found that,as this steel is thermo-mechanically treated by this set of parameters(the start heating temperature,finish rolling temperature(FRT),FCT and cooling rate of 1,180℃,810℃,350℃ and 35℃/s,respectively),the microstructures are mainly composed of granular bainite(GB)and acicular ferrite(AF).The effective grain sizes are below 20μm;the steel reaches the optimal balance between the strength and the toughness;the yield strength is 695 MPa;the tensile strength is 768 MPa;the elongation is 16.6%;the impact energy is 262 J at room temperature.All indexes could meet the requirements of X100 pipeline steel.

Influence of the atmosphere on space measurements of directional properties

To compare measurements performed in different geometrical conditions, one must take into account the angular anisotropy of the reflection properties of natural surfaces. As use of the exact boundary conditions in the radiative transfer codes seems prohibitive, a simple but accurate formulation of the problem has been sought. In this paper, two average angular reflectances are defined from which the reflected radiance may be deduced for any distribution of the downward radiance. Calculations made for different atmospheric models show that the solar directionality is partly preserved in the downward radiation field, so that the average reflectances can be written as a linear combination of actual reflectance and spherical albedo of the surface. Finally, the feasibility of detecting directional properties from space measurements is discussed.     

A study on low magnetic permeability gas tungsten arc weldment of AISI 316LN stainless steel for application in electron accelerator

Low magnetic permeability is an important criterion in selection of the material of construction of beam pipes and vacuum chambers of electron accelerators for safeguarding against distortion of the magnetic field. In the modified design of new 20 MeV/30 mA Injector Microtron for the existing synchrotron radiation sources Indus-1 and Indus-2, AISI 316 LN stainless steel has been identified as the material of construction of its vacuum chamber. Welding of AISI 316LN stainless steel with conventional filler alloys like ER316L and ER317L of AWS A5.9 produces duplex weld metal with 3–8% ferro-magnetic delta ferrite to avoid solidification cracking. The results of the study has demonstrated that GTAW of AISI 316LN SS with high Mn adaptation of W 18 16 5 N L filler produced a crack free non-magnetic weld with acceptable mechanical properties. Moreover, AISI 316LN stainless steel is not required to be solution annealed after the final forming operation for obtaining a low magnetic permeability, thereby avoiding solution annealing of large vacuum chamber in vacuum/controlled atmosphere furnace and associated problems of distortion. Besides Injector Microtron, the study also provides useful input for design of future indigenous accelerators with vacuum chambers of austenitic stainless steel.

Effect of annealing atmosphere in the properties of GaAs layers deposited by sputtering techniques on Si substrates

This work reports changes in the structural properties of sputtered GaAs layers deposited on Si (100) substrates induced by thermal annealing under different arsine atmospheres. The effects of the AsH₃ partial pressure (P _AsH3 ) and of the annealing temperature in the GaAs layer properties were analyzed by means of in situ reflectance spectroscopy, in situ transient reflectance at 2.65 eV, X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy. The results obtained reveal a direct correlation between the AsH₃ partial pressure and the evolution of the GaAs surface morphology as well as the annihilation of As clusters formed during the sputtering procedure.
