Diffraction peaks of nanoscale particles of 3 mol% yttria‐stabilized zirconia become sharper as the powder sinters. The reduction in the peak width is correlated with the increase in density. The sharpening of the peak agrees reasonably well with the remaining free surface area as the sample sinters. Therefore, high curvature of the free surface of the pores is assumed to lead to peak broadening (the grain boundaries that grow at the expense of the free surfaces of the pores do not have this curvature). The change in the grain size during sintering does not make a significant contribution to peak width. 相似文献

The tensile fracture behavior of oxide dispersion strengthened 18Cr (ODS-18Cr) ferritic steels milled for varying times was studied along with the oxide-free 18Cr steel (NODS) at 25, 200, 400, 600, and 800 °C. At all the test temperatures, the strengths of ODS–18Cr steels increased and total elongation decreased with the duration of milling time. Oxide dispersed 18Cr steel with optimum milling exhibited enhanced yield strength of 156 pct at room temperature and 300 pct at 800 °C when compared to oxide-free 18Cr steel. The ductility values of ODS-18Cr steels are in the range 20 to 35 pct for a temperature range 25 to 800 °C, whereas NODS alloy exhibited higher ductility of 37 to 82 pct. The enhanced strength of ODS steels when compared to oxide-free steel is due to the development of ultrafine grained structure along with nanosized dispersion of complex oxide particles. While the pre-necking elongation decreased with increasing temperature and milling time, post-necking elongation showed no change with the test temperature. Fractographic examination of both ODS and NODS 18Cr steel fractured tensile samples, revealed that the failure was in ductile fracture mode with distinct neck and shear lip formation for all milling times and at all test temperatures. The fracture mechanism is in general followed the sequence; microvoid nucleation at second phase particles, void growth and coalescence. The quantified dimple sizes and numbers per unit area were found to be in linear relation with the size and number density of dispersoids. It is clearly evident that even nanosized dispersoids acted as sites for microvoid nucleation at larger strains and assisted in dimple rupture.
The solidification of a molten layer of amorphous thermoplastic between cooled parallel plates is used to model the mechanics of part warpage in the injection-molding process. Flow effects are neglected, and a thermorheologically simple thermoviscoelastic material model is assumed. The model allows material to be added to fill the space created by the pressure applied during solidification so that this model can be used to assess packing-pressure effects in injection molding. Parametric results are presented on the effects of the mold temperatures and the packing pressure—the pressure applied during solidification to counteract the effects of volumetric shrinkage of the thermoplastic—on the in-plane and through-thickness shrinkages, on warpage, and on residual stresses in plaque-like geometries. The packing pressure is shown to have a significant effect on part warpage. While the results are presented in terms of normalized variables based on the properties of bisphenol-A polycarbonate, they can be interpreted for other amorphous thermoplastics, such as modified polyphenylene oxide, polyetherimide, and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene. 相似文献
The friction- and wear-reducing characteristics of a number of oil soluble sulphurised and phosphosulphurised derivatives for automotive and industrial applications have been reviewed. A critical appraisal of the suggested causes and mechanism of friction reduction and antiwear characteristics has been made. A review of the investigations carried out so far indicates that the creation of in situ films of simple inorganic salts, such as molybdenum disulphide, iron sulphide or phosphates of low shear strength and lamellar structures, does not appear to be the primary cause of low friction and wear. The authors have, therefore, undertaken a programme to synthesise and study the chemistry and tribochemical reactions in relation to friction and wear characteristics of hydrocarbon-soluble thiophosphoro derivatives of alkyl phenol, alcohols and fatty esters, in order to establish relationships between the reactivity, chemical nature and crystal structure of films formed on rubbing surfaces, and antifriction and antiwear characteristics. Molybdenum salts of various phosphorothio derivatives of pentadecylphenol and lauryl oleate of specific structures have been synthesised, and the friction and wear properties of their blends in mineral oil base stock have been studied. It can be clearly inferred from the results that type of bonding between sulphur, phosphorus and molybdenum, and reactivity of these derivatives with rubbing surfaces, determine their friction-reducing and antiwear characteristics. Their reactivity with iron and the nature of films formed are under investigation. 相似文献
