The synergetic effect on hardenability by combining boron with other microalloying elements (such as Nb, Mo and Nb + Mo) is widely known for high-strength medium carbon steels produced by direct quenching and subsequent tempering treatment. The improvement of mechanical properties could be reached through optimization of different mechanisms, such as solid solution hardening, unit size refinement, strain hardening, fine precipitation hardening and the effect of carbon in solid solution. The current study proposes a procedure for evaluating the contribution of different microstructural aspects on Charpy impact toughness. First, the effect that austenite conditioning has on low-temperature transformation unit sizes and microstructural homogeneity was analysed for the different microalloying element combinations. A detailed crystallographic characterization of the tempered martensite was carried out using electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) in order to quantify the effect of unit size refinement and dislocation density. The impact of heterogeneity and presence of carbides was also evaluated. The existing equations for impact transition temperature (ITT50%) predictions were extended from ferrite-pearlite and bainitic microstructures to tempered martensite microstructures. The results show that microstructural refinement is most beneficial to strength and toughness while unit size heterogeneity has a particularly negative effect on ductile-to-brittle transition behaviour. By properly balancing alloy concept and processing, steel having a yield strength above 900 MPa and low impact transition temperature could be obtained by direct quenching and tempering.

Composite materials of POE-g-MAH,OMMT and PA6 were prepared by blending technology. Thermodynamic performances of PA6/POE-g-MAH/OMMT were determined in different temperature by SEM, TEM and XRD. The experimental results indicate that the notched impact strength of bends with the same component gradually increases as temperature increases in the range of -37 °C-23°C ,and with POE-g-MAH/OMMT content increasing, the impact strength keeps rising and stress whitening occurs; But at 50°C, higher than the glass transition temperature of PA6/POE-g-MAH/OMMT , plastic deformation begins easily and strongly. Because POE-g-MAH to a certain content, the stress state changes from plane strain to plane stress, make the ability of plastic deformation increasing .The plastic deformation absorbs many impact energy, and make the stress whitening phenomenon.

Ethylene/1,7-octadiene copolymer was polymerised with metallocene catalyst and hydrosilylated to form silane functionalised polyethylenes (PE-co-SiX, X=Cl, OEt, Ph). The functionalised species were tested as modifiers in composites of rubber toughened polypropylene (heterophasic PP, hPP) and microsilica filler (μSi). A metallocene-based functionalised PE (PE-co-SiF) produced earlier in our laboratory and three commercial grades of functionalised polyolefins (one PE- and two PP-based) were used as reference modifiers. Major differences were seen in the toughness of the composites both above and below the glass transition temperature (Tg) of PP. In addition to increasing the stiffness, the microsilica filler enhanced the toughness of the heterophasic polypropylene by over 200% at ambient temperature. Below the Tg of PP (at −20 °C), the influence of μSi was the opposite and the impact strength of the hPP/μSi composite was below that of unfilled hPP. With the addition of just 2 wt% of functionalised polyethylene, the poor cold toughness of hPP/μSi composite was improved by nearly 100%. With the same addition, the toughness of the composites at ambient temperature was improved by 50 to 100% compared with the unfilled hPP. This behaviour was explained by significant changes in the fracture mechanism. Addition of functionalised PE increased the concentration of microsilica in the rubbery phase, allowing the crack to enter that phase. The rubbery phase was also able to absorb a large amount of impact energy below the glass transition temperature of PP.

A dislocation model, accurately describing the uniaxial plastic stress-strain behavior of dual phase (DP) steels, is proposed and the impact of martensite content and ferrite grain size in four commercially produced DP steels is analyzed. It is assumed that the plastic deformation process is localized to the ferrite. This is taken into account by introducing a nonhomogeneity parameter, f(ε), that specifies the volume fraction of ferrite taking active part in the plastic deformation process. It is found that the larger the martensite content the smaller the initial volume fraction of active ferrite which yields a higher initial deformation hardening rate. This explains the high energy absorbing capacity of DP steels with high volume fractions of martensite. Further, the effect of ferrite grain size strengthening in DP steels is important. The flow stress grain size sensitivity for DP steels is observed to be 7 times larger than that for single phase ferrite.

The Fine-blanking with negative clearance processing is very complicated process because the blanking clearance is negative clearance, for this reason, the state of stress and strain in sheet inside are also more complicated than conventional blanking. In the process of fine-blanking with negative, plastic deformation of the material is fiercer than conventional blanking, and the change of material inner structure and hardness is more intense because of plastic deformation. The deformation principle of fine-blanking deformation with negative clearance is analyzed by means of streamline and metallographic photograph and micro hardness. The impact of fine-blanking with negative clearance on the materials microstructure and hardness is discussed. The research result indicates that the hardening value is 1.8 times than original material itself and the maximum harden depth is 2.2mm for AISI-1045 steel in the process of blanking with negative clearance. Therefore, it could enhance fatigue strength and the working life of workpiece greatly because of the improvement of the material inner structure.

During the moving stage of the projectile, the impact load produced by the detonation of the explosive powder acts on the ribbon, causing the plastic band deformation to occur rapidly and the surface temperature rapidly increases. In this paper, the evolution mechanism of the plastic deformation of brass band is studied, and the recrystallization process of the surface metal is still at the meso-scale scale. The recrystallization and grain growth stage sexual characteristics.

The article is devoted to the production of polymer by metathesis ring-opening polymerization under the influence of ruthenium initiator of type of Hoveyda-Grubbs II generation. The monomer used the mixture of dimethyl ether norbornene-2;3-dicarboxylic acid. The monomer was prepared by the Diels-Alder reaction of dicyclopentadiene and dimethyl maleate. The polymer was prepared in bulk of the monomer mixture. In this paper we have studied the physical and mechanical properties polydimethyl ether of norbornene-2;3-dicarboxylic acid; and assessed the impact of environmental factors on the change in properties of the polymer. As environmental factors; light; UV radiation; water; 0.1 M hydrochloric acid were applied; and accelerated aging conditions; which were held in a climate chamber. During performance we found that maintaining the polymer samples in the UV light chamber led to the slight increase in flexural modulus. In contrast; the polymer storage in water and in a hydrochloric acid solution for two months resulted in a slight decrease in the modulus of elasticity in bending index. These factors did not affect the change in the glass transition temperature of the polymer. Under the conditions of accelerated aging conducted for 1; 2 and 6 days after two cycles we observed the drop in modulus for bending of 8.5%; after 6 cycles of 13%. The glass transition temperature of polydimethyl ether of norbornene-2;3-dicarboxylic acid after 6 cycles decreased by only 3.4% in the climatic chamber. Studies have shown that the resulting polymer is resistant to water; hydrochloric acid; light and UV radiation; as well as it saves properties at a sufficient level for operation at conditions of accelerated aging. It should be noted that the tested polymer was prepared without additives; stabilizers and antioxidants. The proposed polymer can be used as a structural material for machine parts; including bulky.For citation:Bozhenkova G.S.; Tarakanovskaya A.N.; Tarnovskaya O.D.; Ashirov R.V.
