In this study, mechanical properties and secondary work embrittlement of weathering steel 05CuPCrNi were tested at low temperature. Compared to the mechanical properties at room temperature, the yield and tensile strength increase slightly with decreasing temperature. However, the variation of elongation is not obvious. The experimental results also show that the secondary work embrittlement transition temperature of 05CuPCrNi is lower than - 60 ℃. These results provide the basis for the use of this train body material in extremely cold regions.展开更多

The failure modes of the carbide punches were statistically classified. Edge chipping and shoulder fracturing were the two types of failure modes that were found. The composition, hardness, and microstructure of the punches were analyzed. The cobalt content was found to be too low to ensure sufficient toughness. The brittle phase of tungsten carbide （WC）was prone to breaking off during the shear cutting process, and resulted in edge chipping. In addition, the material chips were easily bonded to the punch edge when there was a lack of press oil lubricity. It resulted in an uneven blanking clearance, which caused a lateral force and finally resulted in shoulder fracturing of the punches. Improvement measures were introduced to address the abovementioned issues. By using the carbide punches with greater toughness and shear cutting oil with high lubricity, the early damage problems of the punches are effectively solved, which ensures normal production of the magnetic shielding steel parts.展开更多
