According to the experimental results, using numerical calculation software program and the numerical simulation with finite element analysis (FEA), the relationships among the maximal load and displacement on cross section shape with each step bend loading, the loading stroke with the heat treatment condition, and the loading stroke with cross section shape were gained, and also those curves were discussed qualitatively. Finally, the contrast results between the numerical simulation and experiment were carried out to study the influence about the multi-step loading on specimen. It is put forward that enlightenment for the straightening stroke in the precision linear guide rail manufacture process.展开更多

This study was designed to investigate some mechanical properties (MOE and MOR) of solid wood samples manufactured from poplar (Populus nigra), joined together through end jointing. As well, we studied combinations of lumber manufactured from 10-mm veneer, using a polyvinyl acetate adhesive. The results show that non-jointed lumber (control samples) have better bending properties (MOE and MOR) than jointed specimens and lumber made from laminated layers. On the whole, side-by- side joints have a negative effect on the MOR and MOE of laminated products, which is more pronounced in the MOR. By increasing the number of joints, the properties of combination of three-ply, i.e., bending strength and modulus of elasticity, decreased.展开更多

In higher tensile strength(TS) grade,elongation(El),hole expansion ratio(λ) and their balance are eagerly requested to improve by customers.Bainitic ferrite steel which has shear deformed lath with various distribution of iron carbides and retained austenite should be distinguished to produce different balance of El/λ. Chemical composition and heat cycle are reviewed to produce various kinds of metallurgical phase and mechanical property.5%Mn -2%Si TRIP steel is introduced in which a plenty of retained austenite at about 30%and larger absorbed energy(AE) more than 3 000 kgf/mm;TS·%El(gauge length:50 mm) can be obtained. That steel also showed excellent upper shelf energy in Charpy test of 140 J/cm;,as well as excellent property of 20%El and 1 400 MPa TS after forging. A new type of precipitation hardened steel having NANO sized(Ti,Mo) C in ferrite matrix is introduced.It satisfies the both of excellent El andλat the same time. Bending property and holes expansion property obey the same kind of deforming criteria which depends on the forming capability of work hardened parts.Homogeneity of structure is their controlling factor and a new parameterαwhich is obtained by gauge length dependency of total elongation is proposed.展开更多

Calamus manan of 10 and 13 years old under rubber tree canopy was acetylated to different levels by reaction times (0.25 to 30 hours) and was tested for soft rot decay for 32 weeks. Acetylated rattan at decay protection thresholds of 15.4% and 16.2% weight gain (WG) were fully protected, as shown by both weight loss and strength loss criteria. The static bending properties of untreated rattan decayed by soft rot were significantly lower than for acetylated rattan.展开更多

Gradient equiaxed grains varied from approximately 1.0 μm in TiB/Ti-6.58Al-1.76Zr-1.04V-0.89Mo layer to 5.5 μm in TiB/Ti layer. The formation of the gradient structure was related to the alloying elements diffusion during the initial sintering process,and the equiaxed shape was constructed by dynamic recrystallization during thermal compressing. WQ treatment before thermal compressing was adopted to obtain fine lamellar structure,which promoted the segmentation of αlamellae,and accelerated the dynamic recrystallization process. Raising the quenching temperature can increase the proportion of equiaxed grains in the composite,which improved both the bending strength and ductility. Compared with the as-sintered specimen,the specimen with gradient equiaxed grains exhibited nearly 30% enhancement in flexural strength(from 1719 to 2218 MPa),and the ultimate bending fracture strain was increased from 7.0% to 17.2%. This significant improvement should be attributed to the coordination deformation by interface gradient grains,the grain refinement strengthening and the good balance between strength and ductility of the recrystallized equiaxed grains.展开更多
