Influence of temperature on tensile behavior and deformation mechanism of Re-containing single crystal superalloy

Tensile properties of a Re-containing single crystal superalloy were determined within the temperature range from 20 to 1 100 ℃with a constant strain rate of 1.67 ×10^-4 s^-1.From room temperature to 600 ℃,the yield strength increases slightly with increasing temperature.The yield strength decreases to aminimum at 760 ℃,while a maximum is reached dramatically at 800 ℃.The elongation and area reduction decrease gradually from room temperature to 800 ℃.Above 800 ℃,the yield strength decreases significantly with increasing temperature.The γ＇ phase is sheared by antiphase boundary （APB） below 600 ℃while elongated SSF （superlattice stacking fault） is left in γ＇ as debris.At 760 ℃the γ＇ phase is sheared by a/3 112 superpartial dislocation,which causes decrease of yield strength due to low energy of SSF.Above 800 ℃dislocations overcome γ＇ through by-passing mechanism.

Effects of plastic deformation on precipitation behavior and tensile fracture behavior of Mg-Gd-Y-Zr alloy

The effects of plastic deformation on precipitation behavior and tensile fracture behavior of Mg-10Gd-3Y-0.6Zr alloy were investigated.The results indicate that more precipitation cores can be provided by the crystal defects caused by the plastic deformation,as well as increasing the amount of β＇ phases,and the formation of precipitations at grain boundaries and interfaces between the twins and matrix.Because of an increase in precipitations,the dislocation slipping during deformation process is effectively hindered and the matrix is strengthened,especially for the 2% deformed alloy which can achieve a good combination of strength and ductility.With increasing the plastic deformation,the microcracks occur at the interface between grain boundary precipitations and matrix,and then propagate intergranularly.When intergranular fracture combines with the formation of smoothing facets on the fracture surface,the tensile properties decrease.

Effects of temperature on tensile properties and deformation behavior of GH4586A superalloy

Effects of temperature on tensile properties and deformation behavior of the nickel-based superalloy GH4586A have been investigated. The results showed that deforming temperature has no effect on the microstructure of the alloy, while tensile properties are thermo-sensitive. With the increasing testing temperature the strength of the alloy decreased, and the ductility increased. While, the ductility of the alloy decreased weakly at the temperature range of 823 K to 923 K. And the main reason can be considered as the easily-broken of the MC type block carbides due to the stress concentration at the interface between the matrix and carbides to form the micro-cracks during the deforming process.

Flow behavior modeling of IMI834 titanium alloy during hot tensile deformation

A proper constitutive model was developed to predict the hot tensile flow behavior of IMI834 titanium alloy in α+β region. Hot tensile tests were performed at 800–1025 °C and 0.001–0.1 s−1. The constitutive model was developed through an Arrhenius-type equation at strains of 0.08–0.22 to characterize the hot tension behavior. It was found that the activation energies for hot tensile deformation of IMI834 titanium alloy are in the range of 519–557 kJ/mol at different strain values. The accuracy of predicted flow stress curves was evaluated using standard statistical parameters. These curves are appropriately found to be in good agreement with the experimental ones.

Room temperature tensile deformation behavior of a Ni-based superalloy with high W content

K416B Ni-based superalloy with high W content has good high temperature properties and low cost,which has a great development potential.To investigate the room temperature tensile property and the deformation feature of K416B superalloy,tensile testing at room temperature was carried out,and optical microscopy (OM),scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to analyze the deformation and damage mechanisms.Results show that the main room temperature tensile deformation features of the K416B nickel-based superalloy are dislocations slipping in the matrix and shearing into γ’ phase.The <110> super-dislocations shearing into γ’ phase can form the anti-phase boundary two coupled (a/2)<110> partial-dislocations or decompose into the configuration of two (a/3)<112> partial dislocations plus stacking fault.In the later stage of tensile testing,the slip-lines with different orientations are activated in the grain,causing the stress concentration in the regions of block carbide or the porosity,and cracks initiate and propagate along these regions.

High Strength Silicon Carbide Foams and Their Deformation Behavior

Silicon carbide （SIC） foams with a continuously connected open-cell structure were prepared and characterized for their mechanical performance. The apparent densities of SiC foams were controlled between about 0.4 and 2.3 g/cm^3, with corresponding compressive strengths ranging from about 23 to 60 MPa and flexural strengths from about 8 to 30 MPa. Compressive testing of the SiC foams yielded stress-strain curves with only one linear-elastic region, which is different from those reported on ceramic foams in literature. This can possibly be attributed to the existence of filaments with fine, dense and high strength microstructures. The SiC and the filaments respond homogeneously to applied loading.

Predicting the Tensile Curve of Polyester Twisted Ply Yarn under Large Deformation

Considering the changes of ply yarn 's structure parameters during the axial extension,a new model has been proposed for predicting the tensile curve of polyester twisted ply yarn under large deformation without the tensile strength tests.The relationships between the structural parameters and tensile properties under large deformation were considered.The feasibility and accuracy of the model were studied by comparing the predictive results and the experimental ones.The structural parameters in the model were acquired under every strain before rupture.The radial dimension and twist angle of the yarn were obtained by an observation platform and image processing technique.The true modulus of the yarn was obtained indirectly from the tensile data of the single yarn and the mathematical equations.The tensile curves of the yarns at different twist levels for predicting were plotted.The results demonstrated that the predicted curve tendency and the values were quite close to the experimental ones.The model exhibited a good applicability to predict the tensile curves for low and medium twist yarns.

Numerical investigation on the tensile fracturing behavior of rock-shotcrete interface based on discrete element method

Four groups of numerical models of Brazilian tests on rock-shotcrete interfaces were successfully conducted by PFC2D. The tensile strength and Young’s modulus of shotcrete were considered. Six different undulations of rock-shotcrete interface were set up. The influences of multiple parameters on the bearing characteristics of the rock-shotcrete interface were studied. The results showed that a better support performance can be obtained by increasing the Young’s modulus of shotcrete rather than the tensile strength of shotcrete. For different tensile strength and Young’s modulus, the increase of sawtooth height has different effects on the support performance. The failure mechanism of the rock-shotcrete interfaces was analysed in detail. The stress shielding effect and stress concentration effect caused by the shape characteristics of rock-shotcrete interface were observed. The influence of these parameters on the overall support performance should be fully considered in a reasonable support design.

INFLUENCE OF FIBER COATING ON TENSILE BEHAVIOR OF UNIDIRECTIONAL C/Mg COMPOSITES

The mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms of unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced magnesium composites under tensile loading are studied. Two different materials are used as fiber coatings: a single silica and a gradient C/SiC/SiO[sb 2]. The results show that, under the same preparation conditions, composite with the former coating is broken in a non-cumulative mode and its failure stress is rather low. Conversely, the latter coating demonstrates much better efficiency and the corresponding composite is broken in a cumulative mode.

Influence of cold forming on the tensile behavior and properties of low-carbon microalloyed steel

The tensile behavior and properties of cold formed low-carbon microalloyed steel with its microstmcture of all ferrite and pearlite （F ＋ P） were investigated. Bending and flattening deformations were carried out in the laboratory on hot-rolled sheets in order to simulate the cold forming process of steel sheets during pipe fabrication and sampling of high frequency straight bead welding pipes. A comparison of the tensile behavior and properties of the material made before and after cold forming indicates that cold deformation alters the tensile behavior and properties of the material to a certain degree depending on the manner of the cold deformation and the degree. The research on the Bauschinger effect indicates that for the steels investigated, when the plastic strain is small, the back stress increases rapidly with the increase of the plastic strain and then rapidly tends to saturation. The finite element analysis indicates that the change in the properties of the steel sheets due to cold forming is a result of the Banschinger effect and work hardening. The mechanism of the change in the properties is also given in this study.

Effect of Ta on Tensile Behavior and Deformation Mechanism of a Nickel-Based Single Crystal Superalloy

The effects of Ta on the tensile behavior and deformation mechanisms of a Ni-based single crystal superalloy were investigated in this study from room temperature to elevated temperature.The findings demonstrated that the higher content of Ta could improve the tensile properties of the alloy at different temperatures.Due to the different deformation mechanisms at various temperatures,the influence of Ta on tensile deformation varied.At room temperature,the higher content of Ta enhanced the solid solution strengthening,which would enhance the tensile strength of 6.5Ta alloy.After standard heat treatment of 6.5Ta alloy,precipitation of the secondaryγʹphase would hinder the movement of dislocations.When the temperature was elevated to 760℃,the higher content of Ta not only promoted the interaction of stacking faults to form Lomer-Cottrell(L-C)locks that impeded dislocation motion,but also reduced the occurrence of dislocation pile-up groups,thus enhancing the yield strength.At 1120℃,due to the narrowerγchannels and higher APB energy inγʹphase of the alloy with higher Ta addition,the processes of bypassing and shearing of dislocations were hindered,respectively.Meanwhile,the denser and more regular dislocation networks were formed in 6.5Ta alloy;and thus,the tensile strength of 6.5Ta alloy was enhanced.This study systematically investigated the effect of Ta on the tensile behavior at three different temperatures,which provided an important theoretical basis for the design of nickel-based single crystal superalloys in the future.

Effects of pre-deformation on microstructure and properties of Al–Cu–Mg–Ag heat-resistant alloy

The effects of the pre-deformation on the microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of Al–Cu–Mg–Ag alloys were investigated by means of hardness tests, tensile tests, intergranullar corrosion (IGC) tests and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. The results show that with the increase of deformation amount, the aging hardening rate increases while the strength of the alloy decreases and then increases. The sample with a pre-deformation of 6% possesses the highest tensile strength due to the refinedly and homogeneously distributed precipitations. The pre-deformation aging accelerates the heterogeneous nucleation of Ω and θ′ phases at dislocations, and also refines the precipitations both in the grains and along the grain boundaries. The precipitation of Ω phase is restrained while that of θ′ phase is accelerated in pre-deformed Al–Cu–Mg–Ag alloy compared with the sample without pre-deformation. In addition, the width of the precipitate free zone decreases with increasing the pre-deformation amount, leading to a narrower IGC passageway. This results in an enhanced IGC resistance of Al–Cu–Mg–Ag alloy treated by pre-deformation aging. © 2017, Central South University Press and Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany.

Anchorage performance of large-diameter FRP bolts and their application in large deformation roadway

In underground coal mines, fibre reinforced polymer(FRP) bolt is ideal for mined rib reinforcements as it can prevent gas explosions caused by shearer frictional spark. With increasing mining depth, small diameter FRP bolts used in shallow underground mining cannot fulfil the rib support requirements. Under the engineering background of deep underground shortwall mining in Wudong coal mine, this paper systematically studies Φ27 mm FRP bolt support for large deformation coal rib. Specimens with a fan-shaped cross-section were used to enable the tensile testing of the bolt rod, the measured average tensile strength of the studied FRP bolt was(486.1 ± 9.6) MPa with a maximum elongation of 5.7%±0.6%.The shear strength of the bolt was measured as approximately 258 MPa using a self-made double shear testing apparatus. Based on the equivalent radial stiffness principle, a laboratory short encapsulation pullout test(SEPT) method for rib bolting has been developed undertaken consideration of the mechanical properties of the coal seam. Results showed that the average peak anchorage forces of the Φ27 mm FRP bolt and Φ20 mm steel rebar bolt were 108.4 and 66.4 k N, respectively, which were agreed with the theoretical calculations and field measurements. Based on theoretical analysis of the loading states of the bolt under site conditions, bolting method of full-length resin grouting was adopted to offset the weaknesses of the FRP bolt. Numerical method was employed to compare the bolting effect using Φ27 mm FRP bolts and steel rebar bolts. Large diameter FRP bolting was determined as the optimum rib support scheme to increase the productivity of the coal mine and to enhance the ground control capability for+425 level mining roadways. This study provides the laboratory testing design and theoretical prediction of large diameter FRP bolts used for rib support in large deformation roadways.

Anisotropy of strength and deformability of fractured rocks

Anisotropy of the strength and deformation behaviors of fractured rock masses is a crucial issue for design and stability assessments of rock engineering structures, due mainly to the non-uniform and non- regular geometries of the fracture systems. However, no adequate efforts have been made to study this issue due to the current practical impossibility of laboratory tests with samples of large volumes con- taining many fractures, and the difficulty for controlling reliable initial and boundary conditions for large-scale in situ tests. Therefore, a reliable numerical predicting approach for evaluating anisotropy of fractured rock masses is needed. The objective of this study is to systematically investigate anisotropy of strength and deformability of fractured rocks, which has not been conducted in the past, using a nu- merical modeling method. A series of realistic two-dimensional （2D） discrete fracture network （DFN） models were established based on site investigation data, which were then loaded in different directions, using the code UDEC of discrete element method （DEM）, with changing confining pressures. Numerical results show that strength envelopes and elastic deformability parameters of tested numerical models are significantly anisotropic, and vary with changing axial loading and confining pressures. The results indicate that for design and safety assessments of rock engineering projects, the directional variations of strength and deformability of the fractured rock mass concerned must be treated properly with respect to the directions of in situ stresses. Traditional practice for simply positioning axial orientation of tunnels in association with principal stress directions only may not be adequate for safety requirements. Outstanding issues of the present study and su^zestions for future study are also oresented.

Effect of Microstructures and Mechanical Properties of Large Deformation High Entropy Alloy CoCrCuFeNi in Semi-solid Isothermal Heat Treatment

The semi-solid slurries of the CoCrCuFeNi high entropy alloy(HEA)were fabricated through the recrystallization and partial melting(RAP)process by cold-rolling and partial remelting.The temperature range of the semi-solid region and the relationship between the liquid fraction and the temperature were determined by the differential scanning calorimetry(DSC)curve.The effect of isothermal temperature and holding time on the evolution of the microstructure and mechanical properties of the rolled samples was analyzed.The results show that the microstructure was significantly deformed,and the tensile strength has been increased by 107%after 63%rolling deformation of the CoCrCuFeNi high entropy alloy(HEA).The high-entropy alloy after cold rolling was maintained at 1150 and 1300℃for 20,30,60,and 120 minutes respectively,the plasticity has been improved compared with the rolled high entropy alloy.The optimal plasticity was reached 13.7%and 7.9%at 1150℃and 1300℃for 30 minutes,respectively.After semi-solid isothermal heat treatment,the grain morphology changed from dendritic of as-cast or rolled to spherulite and the grain size increased significantly with time and the holding temperature increased.

Grain size and temperature effect on the tensile behavior and deformation mechanisms of non-equiatomic Fe(41)Mn(25)Ni(24)Co8Cr2high entropy alloy

The effect of the grain size on the tensile properties and deformation mechanisms of a nonequiatomic Fe(41)Mn(25)Ni(24)Co8 Cr2 high-entropy alloy was studied in the temperature range between 298 and 1173 K by preparing the samples with three different grain sizes through severe plastic deformation and subsequent annealing:ultrafine(sub)grain size(≤0.5μm),8.1μm and 590.2μm.In the temperature between 298 and773 K,the material with the large grain size of 590.2μm exhibited the largest tensile ductility(57%-82%)due to its high strain hardening associated with mechanical twinning,but it exhibited the lowest strength due to its large grain size.The material with the ultrafine(sub)grain size exhibited the lowest tensile ductility(3%-7%)due to a greatly reduced strain hardening ability after severe plastic deformation,but it exhibited the highest strength due to the dislocation strengthening and grain refinement strengthening.At tensile testing at temperatures above 973 K,recrystallization occurred in the material with the ultrafine(sub)grains during the sample heating and holding stage,leading to the formation of fine and equiaxed grains with the sizes of 6.8-13.5μm.The deformation behavior of the Fe(41)Mn(25)Ni(24)Co8 Cr2 with different grain sizes in the high temperature range between 973 and 1173 K,where pseudosteady-state flow was attained in the stress-strain curves,could be explained by considering the simultaneous contribution of grain boundary sliding and dislocation-climb creep to total plastic flow.The activation energies for plastic flow for the materials with different grain sizes were similar as^199 kJ/mol.In predicting the deformation mechanism,it was important to consider the change in grain size by rapid grain growth or recrystallization during the sample heating and holding stage because grain boundary sliding is a grain-size-dependent deformation mechanism.The sample with the ultrafine(sub)grains exhibited the large tensile elongations of 30%-85%due to its high strain rate sensitivity,m(0.1-0.5)at temperatures of973-1173 K.The material with the large grain size of 590.2μm exhibited the very small elongations of0.2%-8%due to its small m values(0.1-0.2)and occurrence of brittle intergranular fracture at the early stage of plastic deformation.

Uniaxial tensile deformation behavior of a sandwich-like structural TiNb-NiTi composite for biomedical applications

The uniaxial tensile deformation behavior of a sandwich-like structural TiNb-NiTi composite was investigated by uniaxial tensile test and in situ high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction(SXRD).It is found that below 1.2%macroscopic strains,the elastic deformations of the B2,β,B19'andα"phases take place in the TiNbNiTi composite.During the subsequent loading,theβ→α"and B2→B19'stress-induced martensitic transformations(SIMTs)occur within the macroscopic strains of 0.5%-4.2%and the macroscopic strains of 0.7%-6.2%,respectively.At the macroscopic strain of about 4.2%,the outer TiNb layer of the TiNb-NiTi composite experiences a partial fracture,as proved by the disappearance of(040)_(α")and a sudden jump in the(110)_(B19')d-spacing caused by load transfer.With further uniaxial tensile deformation,the TiNbNiTi composite finally fractures at a strain of~6.2%.Our results might provide some valuable information for understanding the deformation behavior of novel sandwich-like structural shape memory composites in more depth.

Hot Compression Behavior and Tensile Property of a Novel Ni-Co-Based Superalloy Prepared by Electron Beam Smelting Layered Solidification Technology

The hot compression behavior and tensile strength after compression of a new Ni-Co-based superalloy produced using electron beam smelting layered(EBSL)solidification technology were investigated.Isothermal compression tests were performed at temperatures of 1120℃and 1150℃,with strain rates of 1 s^(-1) and 0.01 s^(-1),reaching a true strain of 0.51.Tensile strength was evaluated at room temperature.The results revealed that this EBSL technology accelerates dynamic recrystallization(DRX),without compromising the strength of alloy.A significant correlation between the volume fraction of DRX and the strain rate was observed,with higher fractions at lower strain rates,leading to higher tensile strength.Additionally,at the same strain rate,the specimens compressed at 1120℃exhibited higher tensile strength due to undissolvedγ′precipitates.After solution and aging heat treatment,the alloy maintained high tensile strength.The results suggested that the EBSL Ni-Co-based superalloy offers excellent prospects for practical applications.

聚对苯二甲酸-己二酸-丁二醇酯(PBAT)与热塑性淀粉(TPS)共混,可降低PBAT的自身成本,同时增强其机械性能。PBAT与TPS对温度均较为敏感,适当的加工温度可以促进聚酯材料在吹膜过程中的流动性和成型性,进而影响材料制品的性能。文章在相同配方、不同温度下进行加工改性、挤出、吹塑成膜以及注塑成条后,并对共混体系进行力学性能、结晶行为、热变形温度和维卡软化点分析对比。结果表明,当双螺杆挤出机加工温度为140℃时,共混切片的熔融温度(Tm)最高,有利于结晶成核以及共混体系分子链的重新排布,从而加快结晶速度;共混切片的结晶起始温度也最高,在该加工温度下,结晶过程更缓慢,稳定性更强,且拉伸强度、断裂伸长率等力学性能最优。
