Hastelloy C-2000 and C-276 are widely used in Flue Gas Desulphurization (FGD) system and Chemical Processing Industries (CPI). Current work is focused on weld microstructure, and mechanical properties (structure-property relationship) of the dissimilar combination of alloy C-2000 and C-276. Multi-pass Pulsed Current Gas Tungsten Arc (PCGTA) welding was adopted for joining the dissimilar alloys using the filler ERNiCrMo-17. Microstructural characteristics of the weld joint were assessed by Optical and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Weld interface microstructure examination revealed the presence of grain coarsening near the Heat Affecting Zone (HAZ) of the alloy C-276 side. SEM analysis shows the absence of secondary Topologically Closed Packed (TCP) phases in the Inter-Dendritic (ID) regions of the dissimilar weld. Micro-segregation of alloying elements in the weldment was assessed by Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS). X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis had been carried out to identify the phase constitution and average grain size. Strength, toughness, and hardness of the dissimilar weld were evaluated with the support of the tensile test, Charpy impact test, and Vicker’s hardness test. Tensile study showed that all the tensile fracture occurred at the base metal side of alloy C-276. The average toughness of the dissimilar alloy joint was noted about 84 J. Hardness test results indicated that fusion zone (FZ) hardness value was 6.19% and 2.27% superior to the candidates’ material (C-276 and C-2000) employed in this study. The refined grain structure and absence of microsegregation resulted in the highest hardness in the dissimilar weld FZ. Results revealed the substantiated use of PCGTA welding for the effective joining of dissimilar alloys of C-2000 and C-276 through the evaluation of metallurgical and mechanical characteristics.

Abstract Three steels were designed based on HSLA-100 with additional levels of Mn, Ni, Cr and Cu. The steels were prepared by controlled rolling and tempered at temperatures in range of 550–700°C. The continuous cooling time curves were shifted to longer times and lower temperatures with the increased tendency for the formation of martensite at lower cooling rates. The microstructures revealed that controlled rolling results in austenite with uniform fine grain structure. The steel with the highest amount of Mn showed the greatest strength after tempering at 750 °C. The top strength was attributed to the formation of Cu-rich particles. The steel with 1.03 wt.% Mn, tempered at 650 °C exhibited the best Charpy impact toughness at –85°C. On the other hand, the steel that contained 2.11 wt.% Mn and tempered at 700 °C showed the highest yield strength of 1 097.5 MPa (∼159 ksi) and an impact toughness of 41.6 J at –85°C.

Bend and shear tests were used to characterize the improvement in impact behavior of various ultrahigh carbon steel laminated composites. These tests turned out to deliver much more useful information about the mechanical properties of the laminates than the Charpy impact tests and were especially interesting for characterization of laminates of very high toughness values. The toughness of the various laminates was controlled by the rolling conditions that determined the quality of the bond and the appearance of delamination by the interfaces. The bend test allows determination of yield and maximum stresses, absorbed energy and permits graphical visualization of layer fracture and delaminations as testing proceeds. The shear test allows mechanical characterization of the bond quality between layers, permitting prediction of possible delaminations, and therefore, the mechanical properties of the layered material.

Abstract The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of hybridizing Kevlar and glass fibers on the tensile and Charpy impact properties of their composites. Produced hybrid samples were designed as unbalanced and asymmetric structures in terms of different mixing ratios between woven Kevlar and S-glass fibers, and their tensile properties were determined using ASTM standards. A series of Charpy impact tests were performed to evaluate the amount of impact strength and absorbed energy by impacting each side of the hybrid composite samples. When the hybrid samples were impacted on the surface of the Kevlar side, they exhibited higher impact resistance compared with glass side impact. The resulting degree of hybridization effects showed that addition of Kevlar layers instead of glass layers contributed a significant increase in impact strength and absorbed energy of the overall composite laminate.

In this paper, the impact behavior of repaired cracked plates was investigated experimentally. single edge cracked aluminum plate having crack length to width ratios of 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 was repaired with four different patch configurations namely: 3 layer GRP, 5 layer GRP patch, 2/1 FML patch and 3/2 FML patches tested in Charpy impact and the energy absorbed by specimens were compared together and compared with the unrepaired cracked plate. FML patches were made of thin layers of glass/epoxy composites of 0.2 mm thickness with phosphor bronze sheets of 0.2 mm thickness. The patching was single side. The composite and FML patching was more effective in repairing the specimens with greater crack length. Placing 3 GRP and 5 GRP patches increased the absorbed energy by only 3 to 4 joules respectively as compared to unrepaired plate. The use of 2/1 and 3/2 FML patches could increase the absorbed energy two to four times depend on crack length.

Ultrafine elongated grain (UFEG) structures with strong <110>// rolling direction (RD) fiber deformation texture were produced by warm caliber-rolling at 773 K, namely tempforming in the 1200 MPa-class medium-carbon low-alloy steel with phosphorous (P) contents of 0.001 and 0.053 mass%. Charpy impact tests were performed at temperature range of-196 to 150 °C on the UFEG structure. Regardless of P content, high upper shelf energy about 145 J and a very low ductile to brittle transition temperature (DBTT) of around-175 °C were obtained. P segregation embrittlement completely disappeared in the 0.053 %P steel and both steels showed ductile fracture on the planes normal to RD at temperature range of-150 to 150 °C. The main reason for the high upper shelf energy and very low DBTT in the 0.053 %P steel would be delamination fracture along RD when both 0.001 and 0.053 %P steels showed quite similar microstructures including texture. Since the occurrence of delamination requires relatively weak interfaces or planes, P segregated to the ferrite grain boundaries and interfaces of cementite particles-ferrite matrix and made them feasible paths for crack branching and consequently delamination occurred. We showed in this work the advantage of delamination (crack arrester-type) on the high absorbed energy obtained by 0.053 %P steel in comparison with 0.001 %P steel.

ABSTRACTA series of experiments were conducted to investigate the impact fracture behavior of Fe3Al and Fe3Al-20 Mn alloys. The results of this study indicated that: (i) The addition of Mn introduces an ordered Ll2-type phase in the Fe3Al-based alloys. On the other hand, the addition of Mn decreases the order parameter of the DO3 a phase, (ii) The total- impact energy of an Fe3Al alloy increases with the temperature at the low-temperature range (<600°C), then drops around 700°C, and finally increases again as the temperature further elevates, (iii) The trend of the variation of the impact energy of Fe3Al-20 at % Mn alloy with temperature is the same as that of the Fe3Al alloy, (iv) And the addition of Mn significantly improves the impact energy of the Fe3Al-based alloy, and changes the variation of the crack-growth energy with the testing temperature when the temperature is above 700°C.
