Die drawing is an effective method for improving the properties of polymer. In this work, polypropylene (PP)/inorganic particle composites were fabricated by a solid-state die drawing process to investigate the effects of drawing parameters, such as inorganic particles types, drawing temperature, and drawing speed, on the thermal properties, microstructure, and mechanical behavior of the drawn composites. The mechanical properties of the material were significantly improved through this processing method. For the drawn PP/inorganic particle composites with 45 wt% CaCO3, when the drawing speed was 2.0 m/min and the drawing temperature was 110 °C, the density of the drawn composites reached the lowest at 1.00 g/cm3. At this time, the tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact strength of the drawn composites were 128.32 MPa, 77.12 MPa, and 170.42 KJ/m2, respectively. This work provides a new strategy for the preparation of lightweight and high-strength PP-based composites, which have broad application prospects in the field of engineering and structural materials.

Forge welding is an efficient welding method for tubular joints applicable in oil and gas industries due to its simplicity in carrying out the welding, absence of molten metal and filler metals, small heat-affected zone and high process flexibility. Prior to forging, the ends (bevels) of the joining tubes can be heated by torch or electromagnetic (EM) techniques, such as induction or high frequency resistance heating. The hot bevels are subsequently pressed together to establish the weld. The entire welding process can be completed within seconds and consistently produces superior quality joints of very high strength and adequate ductility. Industrial forge welding of tubes in the field is relatively expensive compared to laboratory testing. Moreover, at the initial stages of a new project sufficient quantities of pipe material may not be available for weldability testing. For these and several other reasons we have developed a highly efficient single station, solid state welding machine that carefully replicates the thermomechanical conditions of full-scale Shielded Active Gas Forge Welding Machines (SAG-FWM) for pipeline and casing applications. This representative laboratory machine can be used to weld tubular goods, perform material characterization and/or simulate welding and heat treatment procedures. The bevel shapes at mating ends of the tubes are optimized by ABAQUS® simulations to fine tune temperature distribution. The main aim of this paper is to establish a welding procedure for welding the tubular joints by the representative laboratory machine. The quality of the welded tubular joint was analyzed by macro/micro analyses, as well as hardness and bend tests. The challenges in optimizing the bevel shape and process parameters to weld high quality tubular joints are thoroughly discussed. Finally a welding procedure specification was established to weld the tubular joints in the representative laboratory machine.

High-strength cable-steel bridge is the “lifeline” of steel structure bridges, which requires high comprehensive mechanical properties, and cold-drawing is the most important process to produce high-strength cable-steel bridge. Therefore, through the ABAQUS platform, a bridge wire drawing model was established, and the simulation analysis on the process of stress strain law and strain path trends for high-strength bridge steel wire from Φ 12.65 mm by seven cold-drawing to Φ 6.90 mm was conducted. The simulation results show that the wire drawing the heart of the main axial deformation, surface and sub-surface of the main axial and radial deformation occurred, with the increase in the number of drawing the road, the overall deformation of the wire was also more obvious non-uniformity. In the single-pass drawing process, the change in the potential relationship of each layer of material was small, and multiple inflection points appeared in the strain path diagram; the change in the seven-pass potential relationship was more drastic, which can basically be regarded as a simple superposition of multiple single-pass pulls.

The method to increase the durability of high-strength cast iron with spherical graphite YAG:Nd-laser radiation is proposed. The results of studies in laser processing of cylindrical samples of high-strength cast iron grade of the VCH 70-3 are presented by the YAG:Nd-laser, working in pulse-periodic mode. Effect of the treatment with 1 kW YAG:Nd-laser on microhardness of high-strength cast iron has been investigated. More effective laser strengthening is found to be occurred by YAG:Nd-laser processing as compared with continuous CO2-laser one. The results showed that when processing of cast iron in general, the zone of laser influence consists of the reflow zone and the zone of quenching from the solid state. The optimal values of parameters of the hardened layer in the radiation by the solid-state YAG:Nd laser are considered. It is shown that under fluence of laser radiation fluence more than 28 j/mm2 is occured the surface melting of cast iron.

In the solid state bonding, joint are made by pressing surfaces together at high temperature so that a bond grows across the interface by atomic diffusion. In order to satisfy both requirements of thermal and mechanical properties of aerospace vehicle, conductive CuCrZr alloy was bonded to duplex steel with high strength. Solid state bonding was performed at 3 different pressure conditions and at temperatures of 850°C and 950°C. Microstructural and mechanical evaluation was performed to obtain the optimum joining condition.

Precipitation characteristics of second phase in HSLC steel produced by FTSR technology have been researched by TEM and EDS in this article. And preliminary research of precipitation conditions of second phase particles in thermodynamics and dynamics have been took. The results indicate that: there’re second phase particles precipitated dispersively in hot rolled HSLC steels by FTSR technology. These particles mainly contain particles of Al2O3、MnS and AlN. Thermo dynamical analysis declares that most of the Al2O3 and all of the MnS、 AlN particles are precipitated in solid state. That’s why the precipitation process is slowed down by the diffusion velocity of the elements in solid, and thinner particles are precipitated while the material is in solid state than in liquid state.
