Fatigue specimens were fabricated by laminating a supportive layer of 20-μm polyimide film to one side of the foil and patterning 242 crack initiation features by photolithographic process. Progression of fatigue damage was determined through electrical resistance measurement. The fatigue response was demonstrated to be largely affected by anisotropy existing between the rolling direction and the off-axis orientations. Fatigue cracks that traveled in a direction parallel to the elongated grains (cyclic loads applied at 90-degree orientation to foil rolling direction) had the most fatigue response (undesirable characteristic). The construction of the specimens with thin foil supported by a film backing contributed to high fatigue threshold.展开更多

Compared to plate steel, pipes have harder physical properties and tend to be harder and showed greater permeability with decreasing inner diameter. We found that the maximum corrosion current density in the secondary active state, which is the starting point of secondary passivation, appeared in the polarization curve measurement in tap water. Similar to the Vickers hardness and the maximum current density in the secondary active state, the permeability tended to increase as the diameter decreased. This is thought to increase the amount of deformation-induced martensitic and increase corrosion susceptibility. The peak of the secondary active current density was clearly seen as the potential sweep speed was increased. In addition, potential sweep speed dependence was observed in the corrosion susceptibility evaluation of deformation-induced martensite. In comparison with acid treatment, the formation of deformation-induced martensite was considered to occur in the extreme surface layer. The maximum corrosion current density in the secondary active state is expected to be a new susceptibility evaluation method for evaluating the deformation-induced martensitic transformation.展开更多

Cavities and small cracks on the cross-section of the specimen were carefully observed by a scanning laser microscope. Moreover, direct current electrical potential method (DC-EPM) was applied in order to evaluate non-destructively the distribution of internal cracks. The distribution evaluated by DC-EPM agrees well with the actual one. (Edited author abstract) 9 Refs.展开更多

JISY308L type filler wire was used as filler wire during welding. A gas-shielding nozzle was used to form a local dry cavity surrounding the welding zone. The main results are summarized as follows: (1) The shielding condition of the local dry cavity severely affects the oxygen content of the weld, the worst shielding condition leading to the oxygen content of 800×10-6, which largely increases the oxide inclusions and somewhat reduces the ferrite content. (2) The increase of oxygen content reduces the elongation rate and reduction of area in tensile test, but has no influence on the tensile strength. (3) In appropriate shielding condition, the mechanical properties of the underwater laser welds can be as same as that in the air.展开更多
The role of atomic hydrogen and hydrogen-induced martensites in hydrogen embrittlement in slow strain rate tensile tests and hydrogen-induced delayed cracking (HIC) in sustained load tests for type 304 L stainless ste...The role of atomic hydrogen and hydrogen-induced martensites in hydrogen embrittlement in slow strain rate tensile tests and hydrogen-induced delayed cracking (HIC) in sustained load tests for type 304 L stainless steel was quantitatively studied. The results indicated that hydrogen-induced martensites formed when hydrogen concentration C 0 exceeded 30 ppm, and increased with an increase in C 0, i.e. M(vol%)=62–82.5 exp (?C 0/102). The relative plasticity loss caused by the martensites increased linearly with increasing amount of the martensites, i.e. l δ(M), %=0.45 M (vol %)=27.9?37.1 exp(?C0/102). The plasticity loss caused by atomic hydrogen l δ(H) increased with an increase in C 0 and reached a saturation value l δ(H)max=40% when C 0>100 ppm. l δ(H) decreased with an increase in strain rate $\dot \varepsilon $ , i.e. l δ(H), $\% = - 21.9 - 9.9\dot \varepsilon $ , and was zero when $\dot \varepsilon \geqslant \dot \varepsilon _c = 0.032/s$ . HIC under sustained load was due to atomic hydrogen, and the threshold stress intensity for HIC decreased linearly with in C 0, i.e. K IH (Mpam1/2)=91.7?10.1 In C 0 (ppm). The fracture surface of HIC was dimple if K 1 was high or/and C 0 was low, otherwise it was quasi-cleavage. The boundary line between ductile and brittle fracture surface was K 1-54+25exp(?C 0/153)=0.展开更多
