Abstract The article presents influence of modification of the low-alloy cast steel G17CrMo5-5 by rare earth metals on stress distribution in front of the crack at the initial moment of the crack extension. Experimental studies include determination of strength and fracture toughness characteristics for unmodified (UM) and modified (M) cast steel. In the numerical computations, experimentally tested specimens SEN(B) were modelled. The true stress–strain curves for the UM and M cast steel are used in the calculation. The stress distributions in front of the crack were calculated at the initial moment of the crack extension. On the basis of data on the particle size inclusions in the UM and M cast steel, and the calculated stress distributions was performed an assessment of the possibility of the occurrence of cleavage fracture. The analysis results indicate that at room temperature for the UM cast steel, there is a possibility of cleavage fracture, while for the M cast steel occurrence of cleavage fracture is negligible.

Some aspects of the determination of the strength of materials formed the subject of two meetings held jointly with the British Rheologists’ Club (President, Prof. E. N. da C. Andrade) and the Royal Aircraft Establishment in the Assembly Hall, Farnborough, on the 16th June, 1945, and with the Royal Aeronautical Society in the library at 4, Hamilton Place, on the 19th February, 1946, under the chairmanship of Sir Ben Lockspeiser.At the Farnborough meeting three papers were read, namely, “The investigation of failures in wood by microscopical examination” by M. C. Pryor and A. Rayne; “The effect of duration of loading on the strength of brittle materials” by C. Gurney; and “Application of statistical methods to mechanical test results” by B. Chalmers and E. R. W. Jones. At the London meeting Prof. N. F. Mott of Bristol University spoke on the “Griffith theory of cracks in solids and recent developments of this theory, with application to brittle fracture in glass and in metals.”

Alternative Method

Properties of high manganese austenitic cast steel are not satisfactory; therefore, this material should be hardened. Currently, the commonly used method of hardening does not allow eliminating problems related to premature wear of railway frogs. Therefore, many studies have been carried out to find an alternative method to obtain improved wear resistance of such elements. The article presents an analysis of the mechanical and tribological properties of base and hardened, by different methods, high-manganese cast steel applied for turnouts. Tests were performed for three hardening methods: explosive, pressure-rolling, and dynamic impact. The results were compared with the properties of base material after saturation treatment. The conducted tests allowed the determination of hardness profiles of hardened surfaces, as well as the wear resistance and coefficient of friction, and the obtained results are very promising. Hardening by dynamic impact provided much better results in relation to presently used explosive hardening technology.

Laminated Material

Weibull's theory of brittle fracture is applied to the determination of strength of Douglas-fir wood in tension perpendicular to the grain. Results from tests on blocks of glued-laminated material uniformly stressed in tension are used to derive ultimate stresses, at a given survival probability, for pitched-tapered beams, curved beams, and griplam nail connections. The results of the theory are shown to be in agreement with experimental data. Allowable stresses are derived for blocks, pitched-tapered beams, curved beams, and the particular nailed connection studied.

The paper presents the results of wear tests of shot-peened and non-shot-peened cast steels with the use of an especially designed test rig simulating real operating conditions of chain wheels. The chain wheels subjected to tests were operated with the use of loose quartz abrasive. The studies involved the determination of strength and plastic properties, hardness distributions, microstructure and linear wear of the selected cast steels. Based on the results obtained, the following was found: the abrasive wear of cast steel chain wheels increased after shot peening.

The paper is dedicated to the verification of solidification of continuously cast round steel billets using numerical modelling based on the finite element method. The aim of numerical modelling is to optimize the production of continuously cast steel billets of round format. The paper describes the pre-processing, processing and post-processing phases of numerical modelling. Also, the problems with determination of the thermodynamic properties of materials and the heat transfer between the individual parts of the casting system, including the definition of the heat losses along the casting strand in the primary and secondary cooling, were discussed. The first results of numerical simulation show the so-called thermal steady state of continuous casting. The temperature field, the metallurgical length and the thickness of the shell at the end of the mould were predicted. The further research will be concentrated on the prediction the risk of the cracks and the porosity based on the different boundary conditions.

Abstract In the paper presented experimental data and numerical analysis of stress distribution in front of the crack of two melts of low-alloy G17CrMo5-5 cast steel-modified (M) by rare earth metals and original, unmodified (UM) in the temperature range, according to the brittle-ductile transition region. Experimental tests include determination of the tensile properties and fracture toughness characteristics for the UM and M cast steel. Numerical analysis includes determination of stress distribution in front of the crack at the initial moment of the crack extension. In the numerical computations, experimentally tested specimens SEN(B) were modeled. The true stress-strain curves for the UM and M cast steel were used in the calculation. It was shown that the maximum of the opening stresses at the initial moment of the crack extension occurs in the axis of the specimens and reaches similar level of about 3.5σ0 for both UM and M cast steel. However, the length of the critical distance, measured for stress level equal 3σ0, is great for the M in comparison to the UM cast steel. Also was shown that the UM cast steel increased the level of the stress state triaxiality parameters that resulted in a decrease of fracture toughness.
