MULTIAXIAL CREEP-FATIGUE LIFE EVALUATION UNDER PROPORTIONAL LOADING

A new method was proposed for the multiaxial creep-fatigue life evaluation under proportional loadings. Because this method was derived from the strain range partitioning method with a multiaxiality factor, it was possible to consider the influence of both creep-fatigue interaction and multiaxial stress state on fatigue life. In order to predict the combined axial-torsional fatigue life the damage under combined loading was defined as linear summation of the damages under axial loading and torsional loading. Axial-torsional creep-fatigue tests were carried out using tubular specimens of 316LC austenitic stainless steel and the ferritic rotor steel. This rotor steel was developed for the permanent magnet type eddy current retarder in heavy trucks. Experimentally obtained lives of both steels were well corresponded with the lives predicted by the proposed method. It was found that the proposed method was effective in multiaxial fatigue life evaluation under proportional creep-fatigue Ioadings.     

MAGNETIC PROPERTY CHANGE IN AN AUSTENITIC STAINLESS STEEL SUBJECTED TO DAMAGE AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURE - MICROSTRUCTURE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAGNETIC PROPERTY

It has been found that magnetic property changes in austenitic stainless steel subjected to creep at high temperature. The change of magnetic property is mainly due to decrease the chromium concentration in the vicinity of grain boundary and transform into martensite in the area. However this result is for short-term creep. It is necessary to evaluate the long-term creep in order to develop non-destructive technique for plants. Moreover it is important to evaluate the fatigue. The change of magnetic property for those damages at high temperatures is investigated. The transformation into martensite is observed for both the long-term creep and fatigue. The magnetic regions are observed in sever deformed area and near crack. Then the formation of magnetic phases is related to the damage. The damage at high temperature can be universally evaluated.     

A STUDY OF RATE-DEPENDENCE AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURE FOR AN Al-Cu-Mg ALLOY

The hot deformation of an Al-Cu-Mg alloy was studied in the two temperature ranges (room temperature-300℃ and 400℃-480℃). The rate-independent flow curves are typical of elasto-plastic response with significant work hardening followed by strain softening below 300℃. Similar dislocation structures with high density tangled into grain interiors were observed by TEM, which suggests that the process of obstacles arresting mobile dislocations results in this macroscopically rate-independence. At 400-480℃, all rate dependent flow behaviors characterized by a continuous softening after an initial work hardening at a small plastic strain show large tensile elongations. Long dislocation segments around the second phases infer their good mobility to climb across obstacles. Grain boundary morphology observed by TEM suggests that the capacity of the grain boundaries to absorb the dislocations sensitively accounts for the rate-dependent mechanical properties.     

STUDY THE INFLUENCE OF H3BO3 ON THE ZINC ELECTROPLATING USING ELECTROCHEMICAL NOISE TECHNIQUE

The influence of H3BO3 on the zinc electroplating was studied using electrochemical noise technique, cyclic voltammetry and steady-state polarization method. The results showed that,under the experimental conditions, the deposition of zinc followed the mechanism of two-dimensional nucleation and subsequent grain growth. The addition of H3BO3 into the electroplating solution prominently changes the nucleation and growth kinetics of zinc deposits, which is directly related to the features of electrocrystallization noise and the corresponding structure of the electrodeposits. The results also shown that the electrochemical noise (EN) technique can give more information about the electrodeposits structure and electroplating mechanism than other normal electrochemical measurements can give, such as steady-state polarization method and cyclic voltammetry technique.

CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF THE LATH MARTENSITE TRANSFORMATION IN Fe-Ni-Mn ALLOY

1.IntroductionBased on the concept of an invariant plane strain (IPS), phenomenological theory of martensite transformation (PTMT) is established[1-3]. In this case, an invariant plane is obtained by self-accommoda-tion effect between different martensitic variants, and the formula which reveals this self-accommoda-tion effect can be written as …     

MODELING OF ISOTHERMAL PRECIPITATION KINETICS IN HSLA STEELS AND ITS APPLICATION

1.IntroductionMicroalloying elements, such as Nb, Ti and V in HSLA steels precipitate during hot-rolling pro-cesses, which plays an important role in determining mechanical properties of HSLA steels[1].In order to model the precipitation behavior, many quantitive models[2-8] have been proposed. These models, however, can only be applied to single microalloyed steels. As temperature decreases continu-ously during hot deformation processes, isothermal data can not be used directly to predic…     

INVESTIGATION ON THE DENSITY UNIFORMITY OF PRESSED PARTS BY LOW-VOLTAGE EI,RCTROMAGNETIC COMPACTION

Powder metallurgy is an efficient approach to fabricate varieties of high performance structure materials, function materials and special materials working under limited conditions. Research and development of new efficient technology to form high-density,high-performance and net shape parts is a key to widen application and development of powder materials. Recently, the low-voltage electromagnetic compaction (EMC) has been used by present authors to compacted copper, tin, aluminum powders and the products with 99% relative density have been acquired. In this work, the research has been extended to investigation on the density uniformity of pressed parts. The analysis results show that the density of the part compacted by low-voltage EMC decreases gradually in press direction as static compaction. But it is higher and more homogeneous. The densit3““ of the top part increases gradually from the center to the outer, which is just reversal of the bottom part. In some extent, the higher the discharging voltage is, the higher the densiO‘ is and the more homogeneous the distribution is. In addition, repetitive compaction can improve the density of powder parts and the distribution uniformity.

Optimization of casting conditions for heat and abrasion resistant large grey iron castings

Numerical simulation technology was applied for optimizing the casting design and conditions in large cast iron castings for marine engine. By the simulation of mold filling and solidification sequences the problems of the previous casting conditions were analyzed and marked improvements for large cylinder liner parts were derived from these results. Especially the amount and positions of chills were optimized to increase the mechanical properties and to minimize the shrinkage and microporosity in the castings. Ultrasonic testing, penetration testing and mechanical property testing were carried out for the parts with the modified casting conditions. It showed that no defects in the castings were found and the productivity could be distinctly increased. The mechanical properties satisfied also the specification demanded.
