The austenite/pearlite growth interface in a model alloy steel (Fe-1 lMn-0.8C nominal wt%) is being investigated. In this particular alloy pearlite nodules can be grown isothermally in austenite that remains stable at room temperature, thus facilitating examination of the transformation interfaces. This study presents preliminary results of thin foil TEM of the austenite/pearlite interface, as part of a programme of aimed at studying alloy carbide precipitation reactions at this interface which can result in significant strengthening of microalloyed low- and medium- carbon steels L Similar studies of interface structure, made on a partially decomposed high- Mn austenitic alloy, have been reported recently.The experimental alloys were made as 50 g argon arc melts using high purity materials and homogenised. Samples were hot- rolled, swaged and machined to 3mm diameter rod, solution treated at 1300 °C for 1 hr and WQ. Specimens were then solutionised between 1250 °C and 1000 °C and isothermally transformed between 610 °C and 550 °C for 10-18 hr and WQ.

The paper presents an analysis of the mechanical behavior of friction samples of welded joints from steels 30G2 (36 Mn 5) and 40 KhN (40Ni Cr 6), made by rotary friction welding (RFW). The influence of various temperature conditions of postweld tempering on the mechanical properties and deformation behavior during uniaxial tensile testing is analyzed. Vulnerabilities where crack nucleation and propagation occurred in specimens with a welded joint were identified. It was found that with this combination of steels, postweld tempering of the welded joint contributes to a decrease in the integral strength characteristics under conditions of static tension along with a significant decrease in the relative longitudinal deformation of the tested samples.

Aluminum Surfaces

Aluminum is one of most common metals in all advanced and modern scientific and technological applications including electrical, electronic, chemical, engineering, energy and medical fields. The performance of aluminum alloys determines to large extent the quality and economic status of the different processes. Aluminum surface structure determine its performance where nano sized grains and layer can improve aluminum properties and performance. In this work, the improvement of aluminum surface structure and formation of nano structured surface grains by laser surface melting (LSM) using Nd-YAG laser under argon atmosphere was investigated. Different power and scanning speed were applied. The physical and chemical properties of the produced surfaces were examined. SEM, EDX and XRD analyses were performed and were correlated to hardness results. Corrosion resistance of the treated surface was investigated to evaluate their performance in aggressive media and chemical and medical applications. From the obtained data it can be concluded that Nd-YAG laser surface melting of aluminum results in formation of 750 micron nano-structured surface layer. Adjustment of LSM parameters could produce 100 nm grains or less. The obtained results showed also that LSM under argon can eliminate the formation of Al2O3 surface layer which may deteriorates the performance in certain applications. Surface layer rich in AlN is formed upon LSM. It was concluded also that corrosion resistance of the treated aluminum surfaces was improved to large extent by LSM.
