Hot and cold rolling of high nitrogen Cr-Ni and Cr-Mn austenitic stainless steels

Behavior of austenitic Cr-Ni-(0.14-0.50)N and Cr-Mn-(0.78-1.00)N steels in hot and cold rolling was investigated by rolling experiments and mechanical testing. Structure of the steels in the as-cast condition and fracture surfaces after the rolling experiments were investigated using optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Resistance to deformation was calculated using rolling forces in hot rolling. Increase in strength in the rolling experiments was related to the nitrogen content of the steels. Resistance to deformation during hot rolling increased with decreasing rolling temperature and with increasing nitrogen content. In some steels, hot rolling led to edge cracking, which was more a function of impurity than nitrogen content. Microscopy revealed that the edge cracking occurred along grain boundaries and second phase particles. For the cold-rolled steels, the highest achievable reductions were limited due to a “crocodiling” phenomenon, that is, opening of the strip end. Fracture type at the opened strip end was a brittle-like fracture.     

Numerical study of an ArH2 gas mixture flowing inside and outside a dc plasma torch

The flow of gas mixtures in a dc plasma torch is studied using the CFD PHOENICS (CFD PHOENICS, Berkeley, CA) code. In the model, the cold gas mixture (300 K), initially constituted of 85 vol% Ar and 15 vol% H, is introduced into a power input zone where it takes energy and is ejected in the surrounding atmosphere at constant pressure (10⁵ Pa). The flow is assumed to be in chemical equilibrium. Equations of mass, momentum, and energy are discretized using a control-volume method. The turbulent flow is modeled by a k-ɛ two-equations model for the turbulent kinetic energy and its dissipation rate. Finally, the algebraic coupling equations set is solved by means of the SIMPLEST algorithm, implemented into the CFD code, using a hybrid interpolation scheme. Results concern the effect of the torch power on the ArH₂ flow. The phenomenon is analyzed through the evolution of velocity and temperature inside and outside the torch. From these calculations, the effect of ambient gas entrainment by the jet is emphasized and a comparison of the level of entrained gas is made with experimental data.     

A study of tailored blank welding between mild steel sheet and zn-coated steel sheet by CO2 laser beam

Research was conducted on tailored blank welding between mild steel sheet and Zn-coated steel sheet using CO₂ laser beam. The materials used in this study were low carbon steel sheets with a thickness of 1.2 mm and Zn-coated steel sheet with the same thickness and 6.3 μm Zn coating. Experiments were conducted by applying the Taguchi method to obtain optimum conditions for the application of this tailored blank laser welding method in practical manufacturing processes. Optical microscopy, XRD, SEM and TEM analysis were performed to observe the microstructures and to determine the structures of welded zone. In addition, mechanical properties were measured by the microhardness test, tensile test and Erichsen test to evaluate the formability of the welded specimen. There was no trapped Zn in the fusion zone, and the phases of this region consisted of polygonal ferrite, quasi-polygonal ferrite, banitic ferrite and martensite. The elongation value of welded specimen was more than 80% of the value in substrate metal, and the LDH value was more than 90% of the value in substrate metal.
