Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the fracture of grade X42 microalloyed steel used as pipe material after tensile test at room temperature and impact tests at 0, −20 and −40°C, respectively. Design/methodology/approach – In the first stage of the study, X42 steels in the form of sheet and pipe materials were selected and etched samples were characterized using light microscope. In the second stage, mechanical properties of steels were obtained by microhardness measurements, static tensile and impact tests and all the broken surfaces were examined by scanning electron microscope to determine the fracture type as a function of both microstructure and loading. Findings – The examinations revealed that: first, the sheet material had a typical ferritic-pearlitic matrix, second, the transverse section of the sheet steel exhibited a matrix consisting of polygonal ferrite-aligned pearlite colonies and the longitudinal one had elongated ferrite phase and pearlite colonies in the direction of rolling, third, ferrite and pearlite distribution was different from the sheet material due to multiaxial deformation in the pipe material, fourth, tensile fracture surfaces of the steels had typical dimple fracture induced by microvoid coalescence, fifth, impact fracture surfaces of the steels changed as a function of the test temperature and cleavage fracture mode of ferritic-pearlitic matrix became more dominant as the temperature decreased, and sixth, grain morphology had an effect on the fracture behavior of the steels. Originality/value – The paper explains the fracture behaviour of X42 microalloyed pipeline steel and its fractographical analysis.

Zr Alloys

In this study, the chemical composition of Al-0.8Mg-0.8Si alloys was modified with the addition of 0.1 and 0.2 wt.-% Zr. The billets were manufactured by direct chill casting method, homogenized at 560 °C for 6h and then extruded in order to obtain profiles having hollow and circular sections. Recrystallization layer (shell) became narrower due to the addition of Zr. This was attributed to the formation of very fine precipitates (Al3Zr) within the matrix. The mechanical properties showed that both yield and tensile strengths increased as a function of Zr content. Tensile fracture surfaces were examined by scanning electron microscope and the fractographs reflected the effect of grain structure on the fracture behavior of studied alloys. All fracture surfaces indicated typical dimple ruptures, however, the size of dimples were observed as finer structures as a function of Zr content. As seen in cross-sectional graphs, as the Zr content increased the grain structure was refined due to Al3Zr precipitates. These fine precipitates caused the formation of fine and shallow dimples under loading.

Abstract The polymer-filler interaction of silica- and clay-filled XNBR vulcanizates has been analyzed. The presence of carboxyl groups in the polymer chain gives better polymer-filler interaction, and no coupling agent is essential. Properties of silica-filled XNBR vulcanizates containing different carboxyl contents in the polymer chain have also been studied. SEM studies of fracture surfaces have been made to understand the failure behavior of gum and filled vulcanizates.

ABSTRACTBrittle-to-ductile transition (BDT) temperature (TBD) was evaluated according to temperature dependence of tensile properties under different strain rates from 10−5to 10−1s−1in two-phase Ti-47Al-2Mn-2Nb and Ti-47A1–2Mn-2Nb-0.8 TiB2alloys with nearly lamellar microstructure. Based on the strain rate dependence of the determined TBD values, apparent BDT activation energies were determined using Zener-Hollomon factor. Tensile fracture surfaces were observed using a scanning electron microscope while deformation substructures were investigated by transmission electron microscopy. It was found that the BDTT of both alloys increased sharply with the strain rate and that the minor addition of 0.8 vol% TiB2reduced TBD by about 100K at the same strain rate. The TiB2addition also decreases the apparent BDT activation energy from 324 to 256 kJ/mol. Both of these values approximate to self- or inter-diffusion of Ti and Al atoms in TiAl phase. Transgranular fracture and dimple fracture were found dominant in fracture surfaces below and above TBD, respectively. The most common 1/2<110] ordinary dislocations were found to begin climb at mound TBD. All this evidence, as well as a theoretical calculation using the Nabarro Model, add up to a conclusion that the BDT is controlled by dislocation climb in both alloys.

Fracture Behaviors

The mechanical properties of the rolled isotactic polypropylene and the morphology of fracture surfaces were measured and observed by tensile tests and the scanning electron microscopy. And then the tensile fracture behaviors along the rolling and transvers directions of the rolled samples were analyzed. After rolling, strong anisotropy mechanical properties occurred along the rolling and transverse directions: high tensile strength with low total elongation along the rolling direction and low tensile strength with high total elongation along the transverse direction. After tensile test, three characteristic structures were found on the fracture surfaces. The tensile fracture behavior of the rolled samples is: stress concentration happens on the edge of tensile sample and then fracture develops to the center part of the tensile sample. When the fracture is big enough, the tensile sample will be failed very quickly.
