Abstract USS TENELON is a completely austenitic, nickel-free stainless steel with exceptionally high strength which is retained at elevated temperatures. It has excellent corrosion resistance in atmospheric and mild acid exposures and maintains nonmagnetic characteristics even when 60% cold reduced. It also has good stress-rupture and creep properties in the range 1200-1500 F. It has a wide range of applications. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness, creep, and fatigue. It also includes information on high temperature performance and corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: SS-311. Producer or source: United States Steel Corporation.

Abstract EASTERN STAINLESS TYPE 309S is a heat-resisting grade of stainless steel. Because of its high alloy content, it resists scaling up to 2000 F. It also has good tensile and creep properties and elevated temperatures. Type 309S has good ductility and malleability; therefore, difficult shapes and structures can be fabricated easily and it can be machined readily. It can be welded easily and gives strong, ductile welds. Some of its many applications are annealing boxes, boiler baffles, dryers, furnace parts, heat exchangers and oil-refining equipment. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as creep. It also includes information on high temperature performance and corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SS-441. Producer or source: Eastern Stainless Steel Company.

Titanium and its alloys have been applied to motorcycles and automobiles in order to reduce the weight of their component parts. In recent years, titanium exhaust systems, engine valves and connecting rods have been widely applied mainly to sports type or large motorcycles. In addition to Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-Al-Fe alloys which utilize Fe as an inexpensive and a common alloying element are used for engine valves and connecting rods. In exhaust systems, such as mufflers, at first, Gr.2 commercially pure titanium sheets have been mainly used because of their high cold formability. Furthermore, several titanium alloys to which Cu, Al, Si and Nb are added have been actively developed in order to improve strength, creep properties, oxidation resistance and so on at elevated temperatures, as service temperature becomes higher. Also, due to the development of processing technologies, the same methods and processes that are used for manufacturing steel parts have been applied to titanium ones, and the application of titanium has recently been expanded to fracture-split connecting rods and fuel tanks. Newly, titanium foil has been adopted as a separator of PEFC used in fuel cell vehicles from the viewpoints of excellent corrosion resistance and cold formability. As mentioned above, in this presentation, the technical contents of titanium products and parts developed for motorcycles and automobiles are reviewed.

Creep behavior is very important for the selection of refractory materials. This paper presents a methodology to measure the compressive creep behavior of fired magnesia materials at elevated temperatures. The measurements were carried out at 1150–1500 °C and under compression loads from 1–8 MPa. Creep strain was calculated from the measured total strain data. The obtained creep deformations of the experimental investigations were subjected to detailed analysis to identify the Norton-Bailey creep law parameters. The modulus of elasticity was determined in advance to simplify the inverse estimation process for finding the Norton-Bailey creep parameters. In the next step; an extended material model including creep was used in a finite element analysis (FEA) and the creep testing procedure was reproduced numerically. Within the investigated temperature and load range; the creep deformations calculated by FEA demonstrated a good agreement with the results of the experimental investigations. Finally; a finite element unit cell model of a quarter brick representing a section of the lining of a ferrochrome (FeCr) electric arc furnace (direct current) was used to assess the thermo-mechanical stresses and strains including creep during a heat-up procedure. The implementation of the creep behavior into the design process led to an improved prediction of strains and stresses.

Microstructures and creep properties of AM80 alloy with calcium and strontium additions have been investigated by using OM, X-ray diffraction, SEM and creep tests. The results indicate that the as-cast microstructure of the AM80 alloy consists of the α-Mg matrix, bones-shaped Mg17Al12 and lamellar second precipitation phase at grain boundaries. Calcium and strontium can refine the grain size and the secondary phases. Calcium addition results in the formation of a fishbone Al2Ca eutectic phase in AM80 alloy. With the increase of calcium, reticular Al2Ca phase distribute at the grain boundaries. The creep resistance of the AM80 alloy is significantly improved by a small amount of strontium and calcium addition due to the formation of a grain boundary network consisting of the high melting point Al2Ca phase. Microstructure observations performed on the sample after creep testing reveal that the phase is distorted during creep, reflecting its formation in the as-cast microstructure is unbeneficial to creep properties of the AM80 alloy. The creep resistance of the alloy at elevated temperatures was remarkably increased when calcium was added combined with strontium. The highest creep resistance was obtained from the alloy with xSr and y3Ca addition and its steady state creep rate reached as low as 3.941×10-8s-1, one order of magnitude lower than that of alloy AM80 without strontium and calcium additions.
