We report on apparatus for the magnetic material characterization of a wide range of steel grades of high and low magnetic permeability. The instrument has been used to detect thermal aging in Duplex steel by the measurement of the residual magnetization (Br) of test specimens. A method to estimate the value of Br by remote measurements up to 200 mm from a specimen is described. The results are compared with data from conventional hysteresis loop measurements.

ABSTRACTOne of the main areas of improvement in capacitive deionization technologies is the materials used for electrodes which have very specific requirements. In the present work, a wide range of material characterization techniques are employed to determine the suitability of a multiwall carbon nanostructure thin film as electrode material. The electrical, mechanical, surface and wetting characteristics are studied proving the membrane highly conductive (σ=7.25 103 S/m), having competitive electro-sorption capacity (11.7 F/g at 10 mV/s) and surface area (149 m2/g), strain rate dependent mechanical properties and hydrophobic wetting behavior.

The present paper investigates the utilization of the magnetic Barkhausen noise and magnetic permeability methods for the nondestructive characterization of annealed non-oriented electrical steel samples which were isothermally annealed in a wide range of temperatures (400°C – 950°C) and subsequently cooled in air. The resulting magnetic properties were compared with the microstructural changes occurring during annealing.

Stainless steel materials (FeCr and FeCrNi-based alloys) are employed in a wide range of modern applications due to their ability to withstand corrosive environments while maintaining good mechanical properties. Their corrosion resistance originates from Cr-rich oxide layer which serves as a barrier against ion diffusion between the alloy and the ambient phase. Custom steel grades can be designed for specific applications by optimizing their properties throughout alloy composition [1].

Nowadays high temperatures resistant materials are needed to resist to high temperature applications (up to 1000°C), such as automotive exhaust gas manifolds. Some developed stainless steel grades, including ferritic grades or austenitic refractory grades, can be used in this temperature range and both in continuous or cyclic thermal conditions. In order to predict the thermomechanical fatigue damage of stainless steel parts submitted to cyclic thermal loading and constrained bonding conditions, the elastoviscoplastic model by Chaboche is determined for a wide range of temperatures, of strain amplitudes and strain rate levels thanks to isothermal traction-compression tests. The validation procedure is performed afterward by comparison with stabilized behavior under non isothermal conditions on a dedicated thermal fatigue test performed on V-shape specimens. Results of simulation show very good fitting with the experimental curves which would lead to a more accurate fatigue life prediction. A damage model was derived from Taira’s thermal low-cycle fatigue model to include dwell-time period at high temperature and creep-oxidation effect. In this paper the example of K44X, a dedicated grade for high temperatures applications, is presented.

Infrared microspectroscopy has become a common technique for the microanalysis of material. Characterization of spatially specific areas using infrared spectroscopy has been applied to a wide range of materials/systems including, for example, multi-layer films, silicon wafer contamination and inclusions in a variety of systems, surface contamination, orientation in single fibers. In addition, infrared microspectroscopy mapping experiments have been used to obtain images of materials based on functional group absorptions that characterize system composition.The spatial resolution of the technique is limited to approximately 10-20 micrometers experimentally, due to diffraction limitations. Infrared ultra-microspectroscopy has been mentioned by Messerschmidt as a technique to achieve resolution below the diffraction limit of the radiation (e.g. 5 micrometers). However, in the absence of experimental technology to routinely increase the spatial resolution from which unique infrared spectra can be obtained, we have applied factor analysis techniques to effectively increase the spatial resolution from which an infrared spectrum could be obtained.
