Boundary Fracture

ABSTRACTThe notched mechanical properties of Ni3AI and Ni3Al+B prepared by powder metallurgy techniques have been determined in both tension and bending at room temperature. Ten- sile tests performed using double notched specimens containing relatively blunt notches produced intergranular fracture in both Ni3Al and Ni3AI+B, with evidence of fracture initiating in an intergranular manner ahead of the blunt notch in both cases. Estimates of notched fracture toughness from bend tests and of local grain boundary fracture stress from the notched tensile tests suggest an increase in these values with boron addition.

AbstractDisk-shaped specimens of polycrystalline NiAl (grain size ∽25 μm), 3 mm in diameter and ranging in thickness from 165 to 370 μm, were indented in their centers to various indentation loads, F, using a Vickers indenter. The yield stress, σy, and apparent fracture stress, σfa, were measured as a function of F, with the indented side in tension, using a miniaturized disk-bend test (MDBT). Fracture does not originate at the indentation for F ≤ 39.2 N. Within this regime of behavior both σy and σfa are slightly larger than in unindented specimens, although σfa passes through a sharp minimum for F < 10 N. For F ≥ 39.2 N fracture originates at the indentations. In this regime σy is essentially constant, but significantly larger than σy at smaller values of F, while σfa decreases steadily with increasing F. We attribute the larger values of σy to strain hardening within the relatively large plastic zone surrounding the indentation. The reduction of σfa with increasing F in this regime occurs because the indentation serves as the point of failure. Fractography reveals NiAl fractures primarily in an intergranular manner. A preliminary estimate of the fracture toughness is 8.54 MPa·a.m1/2, which overestimates the true fracture toughness because σfa exceeds the true fracture stresses.

ABSTRACTMo fiber reinforced NiAl in-situ composites with a nominal composition Ni-43.8Al-9.5Mo (at.%) were produced by specially controlled directional solidification (DS) using a laboratory-scale Bridgman furnace equipped with a liquid metal cooling (LMC) device. In these composites, single crystalline Mo fibers were precipitated out through eutectic reaction and aligned parallel to the growth direction of the ingot. Mechanical properties, i.e. the creep resistance at high temperatures (HT, between 900 °C and 1200 °C) and the fracture toughness at room temperature (RT) of in-situ NiAl-Mo composites, were characterized by tensile creep (along the growth direction) and flexure (four-point bending, vertical to the growth direction) tests, respectively. In the current study, a steady creep rate of 10-6s-1 at 1100 °C under an initial applied tensile stress of 150MPa was measured. The flexure tests sustained a fracture toughness of 14.5 MPa·m1/2at room temperature. Compared to binary NiAl and other NiAl alloys, these properties showed a remarkably improvement in creep resistance at HT and fracture toughness at RT that makes this composite a potential candidate material for structural application at the temperatures above 1000 °C. The mechanisms responsible for the improvement of the mechanical properties in NiAl-Mo in-situ composites were discussed based on the investigation results.

Abstract In this study, Al-0.80Mg-0.85Si alloy was modified with the addition of 0.3 wt.-% zirconium and the variation of microstructural features and mechanical properties were investigated. In order to produce the billets, vertical direct chill casting method was used and billets were homogenized at 580 °C for 6 h. Homogenized billets were subjected to aging practice following three stages: (i) solution annealing at 550 °C for 3 h, (ii) quenching in water, (iii) aging at 180 °C between 0 and 20 h. The hardness measurements were performed for the alloys following the aging process. It was observed that peak hardness value of Al-0.80Mg-0.85Si alloy increased with the addition of zirconium. This finding was very useful to obtain aging parameters for the extruded hollow profiles which are commonly used in automotive industry. Standard tensile tests were applied to aged profiles at room temperature and the results showed that modified alloy had higher mechanical properties compared to the non-modified alloy.

Abstract In this work, the phase composition (relative fractions of monoclinic m-ZrO2, tetragonal t-ZrO2, and cubic c-ZrO2 phases) and mechanical properties (hardness, fracture toughness, compressive strength) of alumina toughened zirconia (ATZ) ceramics, with an addition of silica were investigated. Calcium oxide was used as a stabilizer for the zirconia tetragonal phase. It was shown that CaO-ATZ+SiO2 ceramics demonstrate increased resistance to low-temperature degradation. The plasticity signs at room temperature were found due to the SiO2 addition to CaO-ATZ ceramics. A yield plateau appears in the uniaxial compression diagram at 5 mol. % SiO2 concentration. It is hypothesized that discovered plasticity is due to the increased t→m transformability.

Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) has attracted great interest in the aerospace and medical sectors because it can produce complex and lightweight parts with high accuracy. Austenitic stainless steel alloy 316 L is widely used in many applications due to its good mechanical properties and high corrosion resistance over a wide temperature range. In this study, L-PBF-processed 316 L was investigated for its suitability in aerospace applications at cryogenic service temperatures and the behavior at cryogenic temperature was compared with room temperature to understand the properties and microstructural changes within this temperature range. Tensile tests were performed at room temperature and at −196 °C to study the mechanical performance and phase changes. The microstructure and fracture surfaces were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, and the phases were analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The results showed a significant increase in the strength of 316 L at −196 °C, while its ductility remained at an acceptable level. The results indicated the formation of ε and α martensite during cryogenic testing, which explained the increase in strength. Nanoindentation revealed different hardness values, indicating the different mechanical properties of austenite (γ), strained austenite, body-centered cubic martensite (α), and hexagonal close-packed martensite (ε) formed during the tensile tests due to mechanical deformation.

Effect of nitrogen (N) addition on mechanical properties of Ti-Cr-Sn alloy was investigated in this study. Ti-7mol%Cr-3mol%Sn was selected and less than 0.5wt% of N were systematically added. The alloys were characterized by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and tensile tests at room temperature. The apparent phase was β (bcc) phase, whereas the presence of precipitates was confirmed in 0.5wt%N-added alloy only which did not exhibit sufficient cold workability. The grain size was not largely affected by N addition being less than 0.5wt%. Tensile tests revealed that less than 0.5wt%N addition improves the strength which is due to the solution hardening by interstitial N atoms.

Inconel 713C

Inconel 713C alloy was tried to manufacture by using MIM(Metal Injection Molding) process. The high-temperature mechanical properties of MIMed Inconel 713C were also investigated. Processing defects such as pores and binders could be observed near the surface. Tensile tests were conducted from room temperature to 900°C. The result of tensile tests showed that this alloy had similar or somewhat higher strengths (YS: 734 MPa, UTS: 968 MPa, elongation: 7.16 % at room temperature) from RT to 700°C than those of conventional Inconel 713C alloys. Above 800°C, however, ultimate tensile strength decreased rapidly with increasing temperature (lower than casted Inconel 713C). Based on the observation of fractography, initial crack was found to have started near the surface defects and propagated rapidly. The superior mechanical properties of MIMed Inconel 713C could be obtained by optimizing the MIM process parameters.

Effects of extrusion on mechanical properties and damping capacity of Mg-1.8wt.%Cu -0.5wt.%Mn (MCM1805) alloy have been investigated. Tensile tests and dynamic mechanical analyzer were respectively used to measure tensile properties and damping capacity at room temperature of as-cast and as-extruded MCM1805 alloy. The microstructure was studied using optical microscope, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer. Granato-Lücke model was used to explain the influences of extrusion on damping capacity of MCM1805 alloy. The results showed that extrusion dramatically decreases the grain size but has little influence on phase composition and solute atoms concentration of MCM1805 alloy, and the grain refinement was the dominant reason for the obvious increase of tensile properties and decrease of internal friction of MCM1805 alloy.

Increasing Temperature

The effects of heating rate and annealing temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of cold rolled Al-Si, low C non-oriented electrical steels are investigated using SEM metallography and uniaxial tensile tests. The experimental results show that short term annealing at temperatures up to 850 °C result in microstructures consisting of recrystallized ferrite grains with sizes similar to those observed in industrial semi-processed strips subjected to long term batch annealing treatments. Within the temperature range investigated, the grain size increases and the 0.2% offset yield strength decreases with increasing temperature. It was observed that the rate of change of grain size with increasing temperature increases when annealing is performed at temperatures greater than Ac1 (~870 °C). This effect is attributed to Fe3C dissolution and rapid C segregation to austenite for annealing temperatures within the ferrite+austenite phase field. This leads to faster ferrite growth and formation of pearlite when the steel is finally cooled to room temperature. The presence of pearlite at room temperature decreases the ductility of samples annealed at T > Ac1.
