Effect of C/C preform density on microstructure and mechanical properties of C/C–SiC composites prepared by alloyed reactive melt infiltration

Abstract

Low cost C/C–SiC composites were prepared by alloyed reactive melt infiltration. Effects of the density of C/C preforms on mechanical properties and microstructure of the C/C–SiC composites are reviewed. The results show that with increasing the density of C/C preforms, the flexural strength of the resulting composites increases, while the density of the composites decreases. The flexural strength can reach 341 MPa for the composite produced from the C/C preform of 1·3 g cm^?3. The phases in the composites produced from low density C/C preforms are Si, SiC, ZrSi₂ and carbon, while no Si phase is found in the composites with high density C/C preforms. Furthermore, the mechanism of the microstructure evolution of the C/C–SiC composites is proposed.     

Development of an automated process sequence design system for multistage elliptical-Shaped deep drawing products

This study defined the cross-section consisting of a round in the major axis and a straight line in the minor axis for deep drawing product as elliptical. A process sequence design for elliptical-shaped deep drawing products was diversely proposed according to shape, dimension, and specification of products. This study presents two approaches to the design of a preform, a key process for elliptical-shaped products: using a punch with a circular cross-section, and for geometrical similarity of the intermediate process cup and final product, using a punch with a cross-section similar to that of the oval-shaped cup. In addition, blank shapes for elliptical-shaped products were designed and verified with experimental results. In the study, production rules, which play important roles in an automated process sequence design system, based on two approaches mentioned above and blank design, were generated for elliptical-shaped deep drawing products. The system developed on the production rules consists of a recognition module of input geometry, 3-D modeling to calculate surface area automatically, blank design, and a process planning module. Improving productivity and reducing time and cost would prove to be very useful.

Sensitivity analysis and shape optimization for preform design in thermo‐mechanical coupled analysis

In complex forging processes, it is essential to find the optimal deformation path and the optimal preform shape that will lead to the desired final shape and service properties. A sensitivity analysis and optimization for preform billet shape in thermo‐mechanical coupled simulation is developed in this work. Non‐linear sensitivity analysis of temperatures, flow‐stresses, strains and strain‐rates are presented with respect to design variables. Both analytical and finite‐difference gradients are employed to validate the effectiveness of sensitivity analysis developed in this work. Numerous iterations of coupled thermo‐mechanical analysis are performed to determine an optimum preform shape based on a given criterion of minimizing the objective function on effective strain variance within the final forging. The design constraints are imposed on die underfill, material scrap, folding defects and temperatures. In addition, a method for material data processing is given in order to determine the flow stress and its derivatives. The shape optimization scheme is demonstrated with the preform designs of an axisymmetric disk and a plane strain problem. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

正交平面织物球面成型渔网模型的几何分析

为了从理论上表征平面正交织物球面成型后的几何特征, 提出基于坐标变换求解渔网模型的新方法, 确定单层正交平面织物在球面上铺覆成型后的网格位置、 织物剪切变形和纱线弯曲变形。依据弧长不变条件确定方形织物完全包覆球面后的对称面上的网格位置和局部坐标系下中间网格的位置, 利用坐标变换获得中间网格在整体坐标系成型球面上的坐标位置; 根据变形前后的网格形状确定织物面内剪切变形和两个方向纱线的弯曲曲率, 为织物的球面成型性评价提供几何参数。通过实例证明了当网格尺寸远小于球体半径时铺覆变形程度与网格 尺寸无关, 也与球体半径无关。铺覆后织物的剪切变形和纱线弯曲变形分布只与织物在球面上的球坐标位置有关。
