Canted anisotropy magnetoelastic resonance material as sensors for electronic article surveillance system

A self-biasing magnetostrictive element for a magnetomechanical Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) marker is fabricated by annealing a ribbon of ferromagnetic amorphous material (Co_47.4Fe_31.6Si₂Bi₁₉) in a presence of magnetic field applied in a transverse direction relative to the ribbon’s longitudinal axis, and then annealing in a presence of magnetic field applied in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The two-step annealed ribbon exhibits remanent magnetization along the longitudinal axis and has plural magnetic domains situated along the longitudinal axis. The magnetic orientation of each domain is canted by ± 03B8; < 90° from the ribbon axis with the direction of canting alternating from domain to domain. To obtain such a canted anisotropy, theoretical background for the calculation of the field strength (H) and canted angle (θ) is described.     

Composite microstructure of cold-drawn pearlitic steel and its role in stress corrosion behavior

This paper analyzes the microstructural evolution in a high-strength pearlitic steel subjected to progressive cold drawing in the course of manufacturing to produce prestressing steel wires. It is seen that the material under study possesses a composite microstructure in the form of plated patterns, which evolve toward a markedly oriented arrangement. This occurs at the two basic microstructural levels (the pearlite colonies and the pearlitic lamellae), which become aligned quasi-parallel to the wire axis or cold drawing direction, thus inducing anisotropic stress corrosion behavior of the steels. This paper offers a composites engineering approach to the modeling of this phenomenon. The approach is based on the fundamental idea of materials science: linking the microstructure of the steels (progressively oriented as a consequence of the manufacture process by cumulative cold drawing) with their macroscopic stress corrosion behavior (increasingly anisotropic as the degree of cold drawing increases). The special case of the most heavily drawn steel (strongly anisotropic) is analyzed for conditions of hydrogen-assisted cracking (HAC) and localized anodic dissolution (LAD). In both situations, the material behaves as a fiber-reinforced composite (or as a laminate) at the microstructural level.     

Zr-Sn-Nb 合金织构与性能研究

对Zr-Sn-Nb合金带材在25℃、200℃、400℃下进行拉伸试验,采用背散射电子衍射技术(EBSD)研究了织构对锆合金力学性能的影响。结果表明,带材具有较强的{0001}基面双峰织构,[0002]基轴在TD-ND平面内,并向TD方向倾斜约30°,大晶粒多为{0001}< >和{0001}< >取向,小晶粒为{0001}< >取向。织构造成带材力学性能呈现各向异性,σs在TD方向最高,在RD方向最低;σb在RD方向最高,在45°方向最低。随着温度的升高,σs与σb都有所降低,Δσs与Δσb也随之减小,且Δσs较Δσb受温度的影响更为明显。带材的延伸率随温度升高而增加,但400℃时的延伸率较200℃时的低,晶界强度的下降以及动态应变时效是造成这种现象的主要原因。     

Influence of rolling ways on microstructure and anisotropy of AZ31 alloy sheet

Two rolling ways,unidirectional rolling and cross rolling,were carried out on twin roll cast AZ31 alloy sheet to study the influence of strain path change on the evolution of the rolling microstructure and texture as well as the anisotropic properties of AZ31 alloy sheet with microscopy,X-ray diffraction technique and tensile tests.It is found that cross rolling gives rise to more uniform microstructure and stronger texture intensities compared with unidirectional rolling.The differences in the microstructure and texture intensities are reflected in the anisotropy characterized by the difference in the yield stress and the fracture elongation that were measured along directions in the rolling plane at angles of 0■,45■and 90■from the rolling direction.     

Anisotropic thermal conductivities of plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coatings in relation to the microstructure

Anisotropic thermal conductivities of the plasma-sprayed ceramic coating are explicitly expressed in terms of the microstructural parameters. The dominant features of the porous space are identified as strongly oblate (cracklike) pores that tend to be either parallel or normal to the substrate. The scatter in pore orientations is shown to have a pronounced effect on the effective conductivities. The established quantitative microstructure-property relations, if combined with the knowledge of the processing parameters-resulting microstructure connections, can be utilized for controlling the conductivities in the desired way.     

Mechano-Chemical Aspects of High Temperature Oxidation: A Mesoscopic Model Applied to Zirconium Alloys

A model is developed in order to study the influence of mechanical aspects during high temperature oxidation of zirconium alloys. This model accounts for oxygen diffusion within the metal and across the oxide scale. Much attention is paid on the role of the Zr–O solid solution on oxidation kinetics and on the role of mechanical anisotropy. The model shows that stresses developed in the metal, due to oxygen dissolution, have a strong influence on oxidation rates. In particular, a change of crystallographic orientation of the metal leads to a change in stress gradients which is responsible for differences in oxidation rates. Such results are confirmed by experimental results.     

TC2M2δ.5钛板冷热翻边成形极限及非对称化研究

TC2Mδ2.5mm钛板室温圆孔翻边成形试验结果表明,除翻边底孔尺寸小于极限值时在唇口边缘发生破裂的正常失效方式之外,冷翻边卸载后制件还出现凸缘平面翘曲、翻边孔口部椭圆化、唇口边缘高度不一致、壁厚分布不均匀等非对称化现象。600℃高温热翻边成形可以有效地提高成形极限,并消除了凸缘平面翘曲和口部椭圆化,但口部高度差以及壁厚不均等非对称化现象依然存在。本文在给出极限翻边系数的同时,对这种非轴对称化程度进行了定量描述,并给出了理论上的分析与解释。     

In-plane anisotropy of 1545 aluminum alloy sheet

Experimental and numerical assessment of energy absorption capacity of thin-walled Al 5083 tube produced by PTCAP process

The energy absorption capacity of the Al5083 thin-walled tube produced by parallel tubular angular pressing (PTCAP) process was evaluated. Also, microstructure, mechanical properties, and anisotropy coefficients were studied in the peripheral and axial directions. Results showed that values of energy absorption decreased with processing pass increasing and the values for the unprocessed, first and second passes were obtained to be 167, 161.4 and 160.7 J, respectively. The differences between the simulation results for the energy absorption values and their experimental values for the unprocessed, the first and the second PTCAP passes samples are about 5%, 10%, and 13%, respectively. The energy absorption capacity was related to the anisotropy coefficient and microstructure. The results demonstrated that grain refinement occurred and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and microhardness after the first and second PTCAP passes were enhanced, while the increase rate in the first pass was much severer. Also, by applying PTCAP, the deformation modes were altered, such that the deformation mode of the annealed tube was quite symmetrical and circular while for the first and second passes there have been triple and double lobes diamond. The results of the numerical simulation for the deformation mode of the annealed and PTCAPed tubes were consistent with the experimental results. The deformation mode of tubes is dependent on their mechanical properties and variation of the mechanical properties during PTCAP process.
