Due to the influences of various factors, such as temperature, stress, and composition, the research regarding rock permeability has been complicated. This study examined the variation laws of sandstone specimens under changing rates of confining and pore pressures after high-temperature heat treatments. The results showed that the free water in the rock volatilized during the low-temperature heat treatments in the range of 100°C to 300°C, with the increase of the heat-treatment temperature above 500°C; the crystal water in the rock is gradually separated out; and the particles in the samples had undergone phase transformations resulting in increased permeability. According to ultrasonic wave velocity test results, the internal cracks of the samples expanded with the increases in the heat-treatment temperatures. In addition, the high-temperature heat treatments were found to improve the accuracy of the direction of the Earth’s stress when using circumferential wave velocity anisotropy methods. Under the influence of slippage effects, as the pore pressure increased, the measured permeability of the samples decreased and the slippage effect occurs in the rock samples with the permeability of 10-3 μm2~10-6 μm2. The experimental results showed that the contribution rate of the slippage effect decreases with the increase of the heat-treatment temperature of the specimen, and the contribution rates of the sandstone slippage effect were generally higher than 5%. Therefore, the impact effects on the permeability of sandstone slippage should be considered in practical engineering processes.

Nickel-base superalloys have been used as high temperature materials in land-base gas turbine application. When subjected to long term, high temperature service, large crack propagation was observed. Typical refurbishment method of these turbines is carried out by using TIG welding followed by post-weld standard heat treatment. However, new crack initiation is found in the heat-affected zone after TIG welding. Pre-weld heat treatment has been discovered to improves final γ + γ’ microstructure. This study focuses on the effect of pre-weld heat treatment temperature on final γ + γ’ microstructure. Seven different conditions of pre-weld heat treatment temperature were investigated. Scanning electron microscopy studies were carried out after pre-weld and post-weld heat treatments to compare the γ + γ’ microstructure and capture microcracks. The best pre-weld heat treatment temperature produces uniform distribution of finely dispersed γ’ precipitates in the γ matrix without post-weld crack.

This study reports the effect of high-temperature treatment on the electrical properties of charcoal, coal, and coke. The electrical resistivity of industrial charcoal samples used as a reducing agent in electric arc furnaces was investigated as a renewable carbon source. A set-up to measure the electrical resistivity of bulk material at heat treatment temperatures up to 1700 ∘C was developed. Results were also evaluated at room temperature by a four-point probe set-up with adjustable load. It is shown that the electrical resistivity of charcoal decreases with increasing heat treatment temperature and approaches the resistivity of fossil carbon materials at temperatures greater than 1400 ∘C. The heat treatment temperature of carbon material is the main influencing parameter, whereas the measurement temperature and residence time showed only a minor effect on electrical resistivity. Bulk density of the carbon material and load on the burden have a large impact on the electrical resistivity of each material, while the effect of particle size can be neglected at high heat treatment temperature or compacting pressure. The mechanical durability of charcoal slightly increased after heat treatment and decreased for coal and semi-coke samples. The results indicate that charcoal can be used as an efficient carbon source for electric arc furnaces.

Anthracite and bitumite were processed respectively at 1400°C,1700°C, 2000°C, 2200°C, 2400°C and 2600°C,and their chemical composition,resistivity,microstructure, phase composition,and the internal migration of molecular functional group were tested and characterized. The results indicate that moisture, ash and volatile in coal have gradually shifted and lost with the elevation of heat treatment temperature, while the higher temperature, the quicker and completer phase change. Heat treatment can make the coal transform from approximately insulative phase to conductive phase,. Furthermore, as the temperature increases, the conductive phase transformation effect is better. The higher the heat treatment temperature of coal, the more amorphous carbon transforming into crystalline carbon completely, but the less types of phases .

Effects of heat treatments on the on-line service life of a press die manufactured by W-EDM are studied. In this work, four manufacturing processes for a press die are considered: (1) milling and then grinding, (2) wire-cut electric discharge machining (W-EDM), (3) low temperature heat treatment after W-EDM, and (4) high temperature heat treatment after W-EDM. On-line punching experiments for an automobile part of BL646-chain are performed. The amount of wear of the die and punch, roll-over and burnish depth in the punched chain are measured every 1,000 strokes. Overall productivities are carefully compared. Finally, it is concluded that heat treatment after W-EDM for a press die can enhance its on-line service life. Especially, high temperature heat treatment after W-EDM is very attractive as a fast and cheap manufacturing method for a press die.

In this paper, the modified phenolic resin-based adhesive was prepared by dissolving different components. After low temperature curing, SiC samples were bonded by the binder. The samples were treated at different temperatures (400°C, 800°C, 1200°C, 1500°C) under an inert atmosphere. The bonding strength of samples was tested after heat treatment at room temperature. The results showed that the bonding strength of the B4C modified phenolic resin (PF) based adhesive is the highest. When the heat treatment temperature was above 1200°C, the bond strength increased with the additive amount of boron carbide at room temperature. The microstructures of the samples were observed by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. The effects of the modified filler and heat treatment temperature on the bonding strength of the phenolic resin based adhesive were investigated. The bonding strength of boron carbide-modified phenolic resin-based binder was tested under high temperature. It was found that the bond strength at high temperature was lower than that at room temperature, and the bond strength decreased with the increase of temperature.

During the welding of in-service pipeline, natural gas is continuously transported in the pipeline, which maintains a high gas pressure. Therefore, the welding process is completed under strong cooling conditions, and welding delay crack is easy to occur. Preheating before welding and heat treatment after welding can effectively control the hardened microstructure, reduce the residual stress and ensure the welding quality. In this study, the influence of heating temperature on the bearing capacity of high steel grade pipe during in-service welding repair was studied. The high temperature tensile test was used to simulate the bearing capacity of the pipe under heating and high temperature environment. It is found that when the heating temperature is below 400°C, the pipe strength remains at the original level. With the increase of heating temperature, when the test temperature is higher than 400°C, the yield strength and tensile strength of the pipe decrease significantly. When the test temperature is 450°C, the yield strength and tensile strength of the material decrease by 15.8% and 11.1%, respectively, compared with the normal temperature, which are lower than the pipe standard requirements. Therefore, it is suggested that when the heat treatment temperature is higher than 400°C during in-service welding repair, it is necessary to consider reducing the pipeline pressure. At the same time, the box furnace heat treatment method was adopted to heat treat the pipe, and the tensile properties of the pipe after heat treatment were tested to analyze the bearing capacity of the pipe after heat treatment. It is found that when the heating temperature is higher than 700°C, the tensile properties of high grade pipeline steel pipe decrease sharply. It is suggested that when the heat treatment temperature is higher than 700°C, the risk assessment of the service safety of the heat treated pipeline should be carried out.

Abstract Inconel 718 (IN718) is a superalloy commonly used in aerospace, turbomachinery, and applications with extreme conditions due to its creep and corrosion resistance and high strength and hardness at a wide range of temperatures. The recent development of metal additive manufacturing offers a new approach to fabricate complex IN718 parts with minimal machining. However, additively manufactured IN718 parts suffer from anisotropic mechanical properties and are usually inferior to conventionally produced parts. This is especially noticeable under dynamic loading conditions, where they suffer from lower fatigue strength and life in addition to lower reliability. This study focuses on post-processing heat treatments that aim to homogenize the microstructure of the additively manufactured IN718 and reduce the defects produced during fabrication. In this work, we developed modified solution annealing treatments for IN718 samples, followed by tensile testing. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy imaging were used to evaluate the microstructure. The results show that by increasing the initial heat treatment temperature, better isotropy, Young’s modulus, and ductility were produced at the cost of a slight reduction in the tensile strength. The further rise in the heat treatment temperature increased the grain size significantly and produced unfavourable precipitate morphology, which caused a brittle behaviour.

ABSTRACTThe effect of heat treatments on the microstrueture, composition and electrical properties of the Al/TiW/ Polycrystal1ine Si system was studied systematically for the first time. It was found that Al and Si diffuse through the grain boundaries of the TiW layer at 400°C. Subsequently, Si accumulates at the Al/TiW interface while Al diffuses into the po1ycrystal1ine Si. TiSi, TiSi2, Al3Ti, and WAl10 are formed only at the Al/TiW interface as a result of the heat-treatments for 30min at temperatures between 450 and 500°C. The sheet resistance, measured on the surface of the Al film, is constant up to 350°C and then increases with the heat treatment temperature at all times. The I–V curves are characteristic to Schottky diodes. The general dependece of the current on the applied voltage remains the same but the electrical resistance changes as a result of the heat-treatments. At the long annealing time(30min), the electrical resistance decreases with the heat-treatment temperature. However, at the short annealing times(10–60sec), it first incrsases(between 400 and 450°C) and then decreases (between 450 and 500°C). The results of the electrical measurements are correlated to the microstructural and compositional changes occured due to the heat treatments.
