Simulation of stainless-steel weld metals was performed using a Gleeble-1500 thermomechanical simulator. Two classes of materials were investigated, including both fully austenitic and austenitic-ferritic stainless steels. The niobium content varied within each class. The simulation comprised heating to melting point, melting for a short time, and cooling to a number of temperatures, at which point the samples were fractured under a tensile load. The hot ductility, in terms of reduction of area, was measured. Metallographic examinations were performed using both optical and electron microscopy. The hot ductilities of the austenitic-ferritic weld metals investigated were superior to those of fully austenitic weld metals of corresponding niobium content. The beneficial effects of ferrite were found to decrease with increasing niobium content. The effect of niobium on hot ductility was detrimental, i.e. an increase in niobium content resulted in a decrease in hot ductility which was attributed to the formation of (FeCrNi)2Nb-, a low melting eutectic, along the austenitic grain boundaries. The criterion of hot ductility by simulation of the weld metals was also found to be reliable for evaluating susceptibility to solidification cracking. 相似文献
In this paper a hybrid finite element method is applied in evaluation of the stress intensity factors KI and KII of unidirectional fiber reinforced composites. In order to satisfy the stress singularity at the crack tip a singular super-element based on a modified complementary energy principle is developed. The stress and displacement fields in the super-element are expressed in terms of polynomials of two complex variables 1 and 2 in the transformed -plane. The stiffness matrix of the super-element was determined by using a line integral along the boundary of the super-element. The displacement vector was expressed in terms of the element nodal displacement vector {q} and a properly selected shape function defined along the element boundary.Numerical results for KI and KII of glass-epoxy and graphite-epoxy unidirectional composites with cracks along the diameter of a circular cut out as well as elliptical cut outs were evaluated
Résumé On applique, dans la présente étude, une méthode d'éléments finis hybrides à l'évaluation des facteurs d'intensité de contrainte KI et KII pour des composites renforcés de fibres unidirectionnelles. Pour tenir compte de la singularité de la contrainte à l'extrémité de la fissure, on développe un super élément singulier en se basant sur un principe modifié d'énergie complémentaire. Les champs de contraintes et de déplacements dans le super-élément sont exprimés sous forme polynormale de deux variables complexes 1, et 2 dans le plan de la transformée. La matrice de rigidité du super élément est, quant à elle, définie en utilisant une intégrale linéaire le long du contour de l'élément. Le vecteur de déplacement est exprimé par un vecteur (9) de déplacement nodal de l'élément, et par une fonction de forme appropriée, définie le long du contour de l'élément.On évalue les résultats numériques pour KI et KII, correspondant à des composites à fibres unidirection-nelles de types verre-epoxy et graphite-epoxy, oú des fissures se situeraient sur le diamètre de découpes circulaires et elliptiques

Comparative experiments are performed in friction stir welding (FSW) of dissimilar Al/Mg alloys with and without assistance of ultrasonic vibration. Metallographic characterization of the welds at transverse cross sections reveals that ultrasonic vibration induces differences in plastic material flow in two conditions. In FSW, the plastic material in the peripheral area of shoulder-affected zone (SAZ) tends to flow downward because of the weakening of the driving force of the shoulder, and a plastic material insulation layer is formed at the SAZ edge. When ultrasonic vibration is exerted, the stirred zone is divided into the inner and outer shear layers, the downward material flow trend of the inner shear layer disappears and tends to flow upward, and the onion-ring structure caused by the swirl motion is avoided in the pin-affected zone. By improving the flow behavior of plastic materials in the stirred zone, ultrasonic vibration reduces the heat generation, accelerates the heat dissipation in nugget zone and changes the thermal cycles, thus inhibiting the formation of intermetallic compound layers.
