To obtain the changes of mechanical property of barrel processed by cold radial forging, the tangential mechanical properties of the barrel blank and the forged barrel are measured with a de- signed test based on the plastic deformation analysis for a barrel and by applying internal pressure, and their axial mechanical properties are measured by the tensile test. The changes of mechanical property of barrel processed by cold radial forging are obtained by comparing the mechanical proper- ties of the barrel blank and the forged barrel. The tangential and axial flow stresses of the barrel blank and the forged barrel are also presented.展开更多

These properties include good high-temperature strength, excellent creep and fatigue resistance, and good processing and welding performance. The requirement for high performance, high reliability, and long service life of modem engines has led to the incentive to develop GH4169 alloys with improved performance, such as increased temperature-bearing capacity, improved creep endurance, and better fatigue resistance. Advances during the past thirty years in ba- sic research and industrial technology related to GH4169 alloy were systematically summarized, including advances in alloy modi- fication, melting process optimization, and hot deformation technology.展开更多
