Strain‐Rate Sensitivity in Hot Forming of Steels – Influence of Microstructure,Temperature and Chemical Composition

A methodology to determine the strain‐rate sensitivity index was developed, based on rolling of a set of samples with the same draught but different speed at defined temperatures. It was shown that initial grain size has nearly negligible influence on the investigated variable, in contrast to phase composition whose influence is very considerable. Combined influence of strain rate and temperature on deformation resistance of various types of steel was studied. For a selected group of steels a universal equation was set up, which described, with a good accuracy, impact of reciprocal temperature and chemical composition (expressed simply by nickel equivalent) on strain‐rate sensitivity in hot state.     

Homopolycondensation of thiophenol

A homopolycondensation of thiophenol in a medium of concentrated sulphuric acid has been investigated. As a result, two types of poly(phenylene sulphide), melting at 130°–135°C and 310°–330°C have been obtained. Linear and branched structures and a mechanism for the reaction are proposed. The thermal properties of the polymers were studied by thermal gravimetric analysis (t.g.a.).     

Prediction of methane emissions during the extraction of close-to-roof layer of a seam of large thickness

Prediction of methane emissions at the stage of longwall planning constitutes the basis for the determination of the appropriate method and parameters of ventilation and selection of prevention means including the methane drainage technology. The growth of methane saturation of coal seams with the extraction depth, with simultaneously increasing output concentration, contributes to the increase of the quantity of methane emitted into longwall areas. The subject matter of the article has been directed at the predicted quantity of methane emissions into planned longwalls with roof caving in the layer of seams adjacent to the roof of large thickness. The performed prognostic calculations of methane emissions into the longwall working were referred to two sources, i.e. methane liberated during coal mining by means of a cutter-loader and methane originating from the degasification of the floor layer destressed by the longwall conducted in the close-to-roof layer. The calculations of predictions allow to refer to the planned longwall, on account of the emitting methane, with possible and safe output quantity. Planning of extraction in the close-to-roof layer of a seam of large thickness with roof caving is especially important in conditions of increasing methane saturation with the depth of deposition and should be preceded by a prognostic analysis for determining the extraction possibilities of the planned longwall.     

Radioluminescence and photoluminescence of hafnia-based Eu-doped phosphors

Crystal structures of hafnia are discussed and it is shown that addition of about 7 at.% of Lu to the HfO₂ host lattice enforces the mixed composition to crystallize in cubic structure even at room temperature. Without Lu HfO₂ crystallizes in monoclinic structure. Luminescence and luminescence excitation spectra of Hf_0.93Lu_0.07O_1.965 are presented and discussed for powders prepared at different temperatures (600–1000 °C) and with different content of Eu. It is shown that decay of the 595.4 nm luminescence is longer (2.5 ms) than the 610 nm (1.6 ms). Radioluminescence efficiency of the cubic Hf_0.93Lu_0.07O_1.965 is low and does not exceed 10% of the commercial Gd₂O₂S:Eu.     

Modelling of residual stresses developed in steel cylinders subjected to surface-layer deposition by welding

A new model for the determination of the residual stress–strain and microstructural state of a cylinder subjected to layer deposition by welding is developed. The growing body of theory and unified the Bodner–Partom viscoplastic theory generalized for the case of coupled thermomechanic processes are involved to describe the mechanical behavior of the material. Continuous cooling transformation (CCT) diagrams are used to account for microstructural transformation. The concept of eigenstrains and temperature state is utilized to satisfy the boundary conditions on the growing surface. A time-stepping procedure and a finite-element technique are used to simulate both the instantaneous and the residual stress–strain and microstructural state of a deposited cylinder. The influence of initial temperature on the residual stress–strain and the structural states of the cylinder deposited by austenitic and martensitic steel layers is investigated. It is discovered that martensite and bainite shares in the heat-affected zone can be effectively controlled by the initial temperature of the cylinder. Numerical and experimental results are compared.     

Effect of saliva viscosity on tribological behaviour of tooth enamel

Employing a special device simulating conditions of the masticatory process, two series tests were conducted involving studies of the tribological behaviour of enamel subjected to two- and three-body tests at different saliva viscosities.The studies showed no significant influences of saliva viscosity on the mean of the friction coefficient. However, below 2.08 mPa s the coefficient was unstable, i.e. scatter was observed. Both higher wear rate and higher scatter were observed for viscosities below of 1.68 mPa s. Comparing the wear results of the three- and two-body tests, no significant differences were obtained for viscosities above 1.68 mPa s, although for lower viscosities the wear rate in the presence of abrasive particles was higher than that obtained with pure saliva.Two regions with different tribological behaviour of enamel were observed in relation to saliva viscosity; the region with stable and low values of the tribological parameters beyond some threshold value, and the other with higher mean values of tribological parameters and their scattering. The author suggests that different concentrations of proteins are possible at the same low saliva viscosity, thus there are qualitatively different interactions between enamel surface and saliva components resulting in different lubrication regimes.     

Epoxidation of 1-butene-3-ol over titanium silicalite TS-2 catalyst under autogenic pressure

Epoxidation of 1-butene-3-ol (1B3O) with 30 wt% hydrogen peroxide over TS-2 catalyst has been studied with methanol as a solvent and at elevated pressure (autogenic). The influence of temperature in the range of 20-120 degrees C, the molar ratio of 1B3O/H(2)O(2) 1:1-5:1, methanol concentration 5-90 wt%, TS-2 catalyst concentration 0.1-5.0 wt% and the reaction time 0.5-5.0 h have been investigated. The process was described by the following functions: the selectivity of transformation to 1,2-epoxybutane-3-ol (1,2EB3) in relation to 1B3O consumed, the selectivity of transformation to organic compounds in relation to H(2)O(2) consumed and the conversions of 1B3O and hydrogen peroxide. The major product of epoxidation is 1,2EB3, a compound with many applications.
