The results of an exploratory study of eutectics based on Ni-25Cr–15Ti (wt %)and Co-10Cr-32Mo compositions will be presented. These alloys were selected from a total of ten different eutectic systems, all having melting points above 1200°C, a specific gravity less than 9,000 kg/m3, and a parabolic oxidation rate below 10−7 g2 · cm−4 · s−1 at 1150°C as reported by Haour, Mollard, Lux, and Wright on work done at Battelle-Geneva Research Centre. The Ni-25Cr-15Ti eutectic appeared to have a high volume fraction of ductile chromium fibers in a brittle Ni3Ti matrix. This alloy although the strongest of the six alloys that have been tested from the group reported by Battelle is still not competitive with advanced superalloys. Its tensile strength at 1093°C was 227 MPa2 and its elongation was 14%. The Co-10Cr-32Mo eutectic had the highest melting point (1340°C) of the alloys screened by Battelle. It appeared to solidify in a basically bladelike or lamellar structure, consisting of the intermetallic μ phase in a metallic Co (Cr) matrix. The strongest of the Co-Cr-Mo eutectics tested had a tensile strength of 164 Mpa and an elongation of 15% at 1093°C. The correlation observed between the strengths of the Ni-Cr-Ti and Co-Cr-Mo alloys, compositional variations, and their microstructures will be discussed.

The substitution of Si with Al in 0.2%C-1.5%Si-1.25%Mn-0.2%Cr ultrahigh strength transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP)-aided martensitic (TM) sheet steel improves galvanization. The effect of Al content on the microstructure and formabilities of the TM steel was therefore investigated. Replacement of Si with Al maintained the high volume fraction of the retained austenite and the high stretch-formability and stretch-flangeability, whereas it decreased the tensile strength. Complex addition of Si and Al yielded the best formabilities with 1.5 GPa tensile strength grade. The superior formabilities of Si-Al bearing TM steel were attributed to the strain-induced transformation of the metastable retained austenite and the relatively soft lath-martensite structure matrix. The former leads to plastic relaxation of the localized stress concentrations, thus suppressing void formation.

Silicon carbide particle-reinforced aluminum matrix composite (SiCp/Al) has been widely used in the military and aerospace industry due to its special performance; however, there remain many problems in the processing. The present paper introduces an ultrasonic vibration tensile apparatus and a composite tensile specimen and performs Abaqus finite element simulation on high-volume SiCp/Al. The results show that the stress-strain curve increases linearly during conventional tensile strength; the intermittent vibration tensile strength is similar to the full course vibration tensile strength: The magnitude of the stress reduction increases as the amplitude of the ultrasound increases and the vibration frequency increases. The tensile rate is inversely proportional to the magnitude of the stress reduction, and in the ultrasonic parameters, the amplitude has the greatest influence on the magnitude of the stress reduction, followed by the tensile rate; additionally, the frequency has the least influence on the magnitude of the stress reduction. The experimental results show that the simulation results are consistent with the experimental results.

The teeth of limpets exploit distinctive composite nanostructures consisting of high volume fractions of reinforcing goethite nanofibres within a softer protein phase to provide mechanical integrity when rasping over rock surfaces during feeding. The tensile strength of discrete volumes of limpet tooth material measured using in situ atomic force microscopy was found to range from 3.0 to 6.5 GPa and was independent of sample size. These observations highlight an absolute material tensile strength that is the highest recorded for a biological material, outperforming the high strength of spider silk currently considered to be the strongest natural material, and approaching values comparable to those of the strongest man-made fibres. This considerable tensile strength of limpet teeth is attributed to a high mineral volume fraction of reinforcing goethite nanofibres with diameters below a defect-controlled critical size, suggesting that natural design in limpet teeth is optimized towards theoretical strength limits.

A systematic study has been made of the effects of various heat treatments on the microstructures of several experimental high volume fraction γ’ precipitation hardened nickel-base alloys, after doping with ∼2 w/o Hf so as to improve the stress rupture life and ductility. The most significant microstructural chan§e brought about by prolonged aging at temperatures in the range 1600°-1900°F was the decoration of grain boundaries with precipitate particles.Precipitation along the grain boundaries was first detected by optical microscopy, but it was necessary to use the scanning electron microscope to reveal the details of the precipitate morphology. Figure 1(a) shows the grain boundary precipitates in relief, after partial dissolution of the surrounding γ + γ’ matrix.

The upper surfaces of CYSZ covered with 30 mg/cm2 , mixed 45 wt%Na2SO4-55 wt% V2O5 salt were exposed at different temperatures from 800 to 1000 oC andinteraction times from 1 up to 8 h. The upper surface plan view of the coatings wereidentified for topography, roughness, chemical composition, phases and reaction productsusing scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, talysurf, and X-raydiffraction. XRD analyses of the plasma sprayed coatings after hot corrosion confirmed thephase transformation of nontransformable tetragonal (t') into monoclinic phase, presence ofYVO4 and CeVO4 products. Analysis of the hot corrosion CYSZ coating confirmed theformation of high volume fraction of YVO4, with low volume fractions of CeOV4 and CeO2.The formation of these compounds were combined with formation of monoclinic phase (m)from transformation of nontransformable tetragonal phase (t').

AbstractThe existing research on SiCp/Al composite machining mainly focuses on the machining parameters or surface morphology. However, the surface quality of SiCp/Al composites with a high volume fraction has not been extensively studied. In this study, 32 SiCp/Al specimens with a high volume fraction were prepared and their machining parameters measured. The surface quality of the specimens was then tested and the effect of the grinding parameters on the surface quality was analyzed. The grinding quality of the composite specimens was comprehensively analyzed taking the grinding force, friction coefficient, and roughness parameters as the evaluation standards. The best grinding parameters were obtained by analyzing the surface morphology. The results show that, a higher spindle speed should be chosen to obtain a better surface quality. The final surface quality is related to the friction coefficient, surface roughness, and fragmentation degree as well as the quantity and distribution of the defects. Lower feeding amount, lower grinding depth and appropriately higher spindle speed should be chosen to obtain better surface quality. Lower feeding amount, higher grinding depth and spindle speed should be chosen to balance grind efficiently and surface quality. This study proposes a systematic evaluation method, which can be used to guide the machining of SiCp/Al composites with a high volume fraction.

Ductile iron camshafts low alloyed with 0.2 and 0.3 wt % vanadium were produced by one of the largest manufacturers of the ductile iron camshafts in México “ARBOMEX S.A de C.V” by a phenolic urethane no-bake sand mold casting method. During functioning, camshafts are subject to bending and torsional stresses, and the lobe surfaces are highly loaded. Thus, high toughness and wear resistance are essential for this component. In this work, two austempering ductile iron heat treatments were evaluated to increase the mechanical properties of tensile strength, hardness, and toughness of the ductile iron camshaft low alloyed with vanadium. The austempering process was held at 265 and 305 °C and austempering times of 30, 60, 90, and 120 min. The volume fraction of high-carbon austenite was determined for the heat treatment conditions by XRD measurements. The ausferritic matrix was determined in 90 min for both austempering temperatures, having a good agreement with the microstructural and hardness evolution as the austempering time increased. The mechanical properties of tensile strength, hardness, and toughness were evaluated from samples obtained from the camshaft and the standard Keel block. The highest mechanical properties were obtained for the austempering heat treatment of 265 °C for 90 min for the ADI containing 0.3 wt % V. The tensile and yield strength were 1200 and 1051 MPa, respectively, while the hardness and the energy impact values were of 47 HRC and 26 J; these values are in the range expected for an ADI grade 3.

AbstractEven though the buildup rate of laser powder bed fusion processes (LPBF) has steadily increased in recent years by using more and more powerful laser systems, the production of large-volume parts is still extremely cost-intensive. Joining of an additively manufactured complex part to a high-volume part made of conventional material is a promising technology to enhance economics. Today, constructors have to select the most economical joining process with respect to the individual field of application. The aim of this research was to investigate the hybrid joint properties of LBPF and conventionally casted 18MAR300 nickel maraging steel depending on the manufacturing process and the heat treatment condition. Therefore, the microstructure and the strength of the hybrid joints manufactured by LPBF or vacuum brazing were examined and compared to solid material and joints of similar material. It was found that the vacuum-brazed hybrid joints using a 50.8-μm-thick AuNi18 foil provide a high tensile strength of 904 MPa which is sufficient for a broad field of application. Furthermore, the additively manufactured hybrid samples offered with 1998 MPa a tensile strength more than twice as high but showed a considerable impact of buildup failures to the strength in general.

Element Analysis

Compared with other materials, high-volume fraction aluminum-based silicon carbide composites (hereinafter referred to as SiCp/Al) have many advantages, including high strength, small change in the expansion coefficient due to temperature, high wear resistance, high corrosion resistance, high fatigue resistance, low density, good dimensional stability, and thermal conductivity. SiCp/Al composites have been widely used in aerospace, ordnance, transportation service, precision instruments, and in many other fields. In this study, the ABAQUS/explicit large-scale finite element analysis platform was used to simulate the milling process of SiCp/Al composites. By changing the parameters of the tool angle, milling depth, and milling speed, the influence of these parameters on the cutting force, cutting temperature, cutting stress, and cutting chips was studied. Optimization of the parameters was based on the above change rules to obtain the best processing combination of parameters. Then, the causes of surface machining defects, such as deep pits, shallow pits, and bulges, were simulated and discussed. Finally, the best cutting parameters obtained through simulation analysis was the tool rake angle γ0 = 5°, tool clearance angle α0 = 5°, corner radius r = 0.4 mm, milling depth ap = 50 mm, and milling speed vc= 300 m/min. The optimal combination of milling parameters provides a theoretical basis for subsequent cutting.
