Simulation of pressure effects on hot isostatic pressing of stainless steel powder

To investigate the effects of pressure on the hot isostatic pressing(HIP) process of a stainless steel powder,density distribution and deformation of the powder at four different applied pressure levels were predicted and compared by using finite element method(FEM).Constitutive relations of porous compacts during HIP process were derived based on the yield criterion of porous metal materials.Thermo-mechanical coupling calculations were carried out by the MSC.Marc.Densification mechanisms were studied through evolutions of relative density,equivalent plastic strain and equivalent viscoplastic strain rate for compacts.The simulation results were also compared with experimental data.The results show that the densification rate and final density of compacts increase dramatically with the increase in the applied pressure level when it is below 100 MPa during HIP process,and the creep for compacts evolves into steady stage with the improvement of density.

碎裂岩体等效工程特性试验研究

碎裂岩体作为一种结构复杂、强度较弱的岩体类型,在工程中通常作为弱带而被处理。为了探究碎裂岩体的工程特性,从碎裂岩体的物理力学特性入手,利用自行研发的原位取样新技术,对不同电站碎裂岩体原位状态下的粒度成分、密度、孔隙比等物理指标进行深入分析,以公伯峡水电站碎裂岩体为研究对象,开展了室内等效压密试验,通过与国内外沉积物压密试验成果及现场原位物理参数测量结果进行对比,成功验证了室内等效压密试验能够获得与原位应力状态下相同的物理力学指标。
