On certain aspects of strain rate sensitivity of sheet metals

The formability of a material depends upon the strain hardening and strain rate hardening of the material. In this study, constitutive parameters using the power law constitutive equation are determined for six different strength steels and two aluminum alloys over different strain ranges, including approximations of the postuniform elongation range. Constitutive parameters are found to be different at different strain ranges. The strain hardening of steels increases with strain at low strain levels (less than 5%) and decreases at high strain levels (greater than 10%). Strain rate hardening decreases with strain for all steels and aluminum alloys. Uniform elongation depends only on strain hardening, and postuniform elongation depends only on strain rate hardening. However, the total elongation depends on both strain hardening and strain rate hardening.

Effect of Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions on the sintering and spectroscopic properties of cr-doped yttrium aluminum garnet ceramics

In this work, we investigated the effects of Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ ions and annealing temperature on the spectroscopic parameters of chromium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet ceramics (Cr:YAG). Samples were obtained with either a separate or a simultaneous addition of calcium and magnesium oxides. To achieve this, aqueous suspensions were prepared using Y₂O₃, Al₂O₃, Cr₂O₃, MgO, and CaO high-purity powders as raw materials. The obtained suspensions were freeze-granulated, pressed into pellets, debinded, and subjected to reactive sintering in vacuum at 1715°C for 6 h. Each material was annealed in air with temperatures between 1300 and 1700°C. Samples were also compared to Cr:YAG ceramics with the addition of silica as a sintering aid. All the materials obtained were then exposed to 445 nm excitation, and emission spectra in the visible and infrared wavelengths were recorded. The results showed that the emission spectra of Cr:YAG ceramics varied according to the annealing conditions: as-sintered samples exhibited strong emissions of around 680 nm and, after air annealing, of around 1400 nm. This phenomenon is attributed to the Cr³⁺→Cr⁴⁺ transition. Samples doped solely with MgO exhibited the highest emission intensity in the infrared region. Thus, Mg²⁺ ions provided the best conversion efficiency of chromium ions.

纯铝等径角挤技术（I）——显微组织演化

研究了纯铝在 3种 (A、B和C)不同等径角挤工艺中的显微组织演化。结果表明 :纯铝经过等径角挤压变形后 ,其显微组织特征与加工路线有很大的关系。提出了立方元素扭转模型 ,分析了 3种不同加工路线的剪切面和剪切方向 ,较好地解释了采用 3种不同路线挤压后材料显微组织的演化规律。在路线C(各道次挤压间试样旋转 180°)中 ,每次挤压样品总是在相同的剪切面上发生剪切 ,每相邻道次之间的剪切方向相反 ,前一次变形产生的剪切应变被随后紧接着的下一次挤压所抵消 ,这导致了多余的剪切应变 ;在路线A(各道次挤压间试样不旋转 )中 ,有两个相交成 6 0°的剪切面 ,剪切交替地在两个剪切面上进行 ;在路线B(各道次挤压间试样旋转 90°)中 ,存在 4个不同的剪切面和剪切方向 ,挤压交替地在 4个剪切面上进行 ,X ,Y和Z平面上的晶粒都发生了剪切 ,这有利于等轴晶结构的形成

Improved corrosion protection of aluminum alloys by electrodeposited silanes

Organofunctional silanes recently have emerged as outstanding, environmentally friendly corrosion protectors for metal substrates, compared with conventional chromate treatments. A simple immersion technique is typically used to coat the metal surface with silane films. However, the thickness and uniformity of the films are uncontrolled in this process. This paper proposes a new deposition technique for the silane films on the metal surface, i.e., by electrodeposition. Hydrolyzed silanes are water-soluble, ionized molecules, so they can be deposited on metals by electrodeposition. Various combinations of silane mixtures were tested at different voltages, pH values, bath concentrations, and exposure times on panels of alloy aluminum and mirror-polished ferro-plate. The surface structure was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and ellipsometry. The resistance of the film to corrosion was investigated by direct current (DC) polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. Electrodeposition results in a more organized and uniform film with fewer pores, compared with immersed or dipped films. This paper was presented at the 2nd International Surface Engineering Congress sponsored by ASM International, on September 15–17, 2003, in Indianapolis, Indiana, and appears on pp. 320–26 of the Proceedings.
