In this article, the microstructure and mechanical behavior of the Ti49.1Ni50.9 alloy with a high content of nickel in a coarse-grained state, obtained by quenching, ultrafine-grained (obtained through the equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) method) and nanocrystalline (high pressure torsion (HPT) + annealing), were investigated using mechanical tensile tests at different temperatures. Mechanical tests at different strain rates for determining the parameter of strain rate sensitivity m were carried out. Analysis of m showed that with an increase in the test temperature, an increase in this parameter was observed for all studied states. In addition, this parameter was higher in the ultrafine-grained state than in the coarse-grained state. The activation deformation volume in the ultrafine-grained state was 2–3 times greater than in the coarse-grained state at similar tensile temperatures. Fractographic analysis of samples after mechanical tests was carried out. An increase in the test temperature led to a change in the nature of fracture from quasi-brittle–brittle (with small pits) at room temperature to ductile (with clear dimples) at elevated temperatures. Microstructural studies were carried out after the tensile tests at different temperatures, showing that at elevated test temperatures, the matrix was depleted in nickel with the formation of martensite twins.

AbstractIn this study, static, dynamic and tribological properties of ultrafine-grained (UFG) oxygen-free high thermal conductivity (OFHC) copper were investigated in detail. In order to evaluate the mechanical behaviour at different strain rates, OFHC copper was tested using two devices resulting in static and dynamic regimes. Moreover, the copper was subjected to two different processing methods, which made possible to study the influence of structure. The study of strain rate and microstructure was focused on progress in the mechanical properties after tensile tests. It was found that the strain rate is an important parameter affecting mechanical properties of copper. The ultimate tensile strength increased with the strain rate increasing and this effect was more visible at high strain rates$({\dot \varepsilon} \sim 10^2 \;{\rm{s}}^{ - 1} )$. However, the reduction of area had a different progress depending on microstructural features of materials (coarse-grained vs. ultrafine-grained structure) and introduced strain rate conditions during plastic deformation (static vs. dynamic regime). The wear behaviour of copper was investigated through pin-on-disk tests. The wear tracks examination showed that the delamination and the mild oxidational wears are the main wear mechanisms.

This study focuses on the high temperature characteristics of thermo-mechanically processed AA7075 alloy. An integrated die forming process that combines solution heat treatment and hot forming at different temperatures was employed to process the AA7075 alloy. Low die temperature resulted in the fabrication of parts with higher strength, similar to that of T6 condition, while forming this alloy in the hot die led to the fabrication of more ductile parts. Isothermal uniaxial tensile tests in the temperature range of 200–400 °C and at strain rates ranging from 0.001–0.1 s−1 were performed on the as-received material, and on both the solution heat-treated and the thermo-mechanically processed parts to explore the impacts of deformation parameters on the mechanical behavior at elevated temperatures. Flow stress levels of AA7075 alloy in all processing states were shown to be strongly temperature- and strain-rate dependent. Results imply that thermo-mechanical parameters are very influential on the mechanical properties of the AA7075 alloy formed at elevated temperatures. Microstructural studies were conducted by utilizing optical microscopy and a scanning electron microscope to reveal the dominant softening mechanism and the level of grain growth at elevated temperatures.

Cast iron brake discs are commonly used in the automotive industry, and efforts are being made to gain a better understanding of the thermal and mechanical phenomena occurring at braking. The high thermomechanical loading at braking arises from interaction between the brake disc and the brake pads. Frictional heating generates elevated temperatures with a non-uniform spatial distribution often in the form of banding or hot spotting. These phenomena contribute to material fatigue and wear and possibly also to cracking. The use of advanced calibrated material models is one important step towards a reliable analysis of the mechanical behaviour and the life of brake discs. In the present study, a material model of the Gurson–Tvergaard–Needleman type is adopted, which accounts for asymmetric yielding in tension and compression, kinematic hardening effects, viscoplastic response and temperature dependence. The material model is calibrated using specimens tested in uniaxial cyclic loading for six different temperatures ranging from room temperature to 650 °C. A special testing protocol is followed which is intended to activate the different features of the material model. Validation of the model is performed by using tensile tests and thermomechanical experiments. An application example is given where a 10° sector of a brake disc is analysed using the commercial finitie element code Abaqus under a uniformly applied heat flux on the two friction surfaces. The results indicate that the friction surface of the hat side and the neck can be critical areas with respect to fatigue for the uniform heating studied.

Abstract The compression set (C.S.) of a vulcanizate depends on the formulation, processing, and conditions of cure. The following factors are the most important: (a) the type of elastomer, (b) the curing system, (c) the type and amount of filler, (d) the type and amount of plasticizer, (e) the type and amount of antioxidant, (f) the type of cure (press, steam, or hot air), and (g) the cure time and temperature. The present paper is intended, as far as possible, to describe these relationships quantitatively. Most tests will refer to nitrile rubber. We have modified the C.S. method described in ASTM D-395. The deviations are as follows : (1) When C.S. is plotted as a function of the duration of compression, the resulting curves rise steeply for roughly the first seven days, afterwards becoming flatter. The higher the test temperature, the steeper the curve. The ordinary compression times of 22 and 70 h still correspond to the steep part of the C.S. curve; here relatively small inaccuracies in the compression time and test temperature bring large errors in the C.S. readings. Therefore, to improve the correlation between C.S. readings and field behavior the test was extended to seven days in most cases. Longer test times would have been experimentally impractical. (2) As a rule, only C.S. figures relating to 20°, 70°, and 100° C are found in the literature, so test temperatures were extended to include practical conditions. Generally, therefore, C.S. readings were taken at twelve different temperatures ranging from −60° C to +160° C. (3) According to the standards the test pieces should be cooled to room temperature after removal of the load and before the recovery measurement is carried out. Only ASTM D-1229-62 requires the remeasurement to be taken at the load temperature. This ensures accurate measurements of the C.S. at low temperatures. In our tests this was done in every case because at high temperature the C.S. readings are lower since (1) many elastomers recover better at elevated temperatures than at room temperature and (2) the thermal expansion of the test piece can be measured in addition to the recovery. Nevertheless, the differences between remeasurements taken at room temperature and the test temperature are small if the test temperature is fairly high. Where lower test temperatures are used, the remeasurement should always be taken at test temperature if useful results are to be obtained. In all the tests the time allowed for recovery between removal of the load and the remeasurement was thirty min.

Alumina dispersion hardened copper-base composite was fabricated by internal oxidation method. The high temperature tensile fracture of Cu-Al2O3 composite was studied and tensile strengths were determined at different temperatures of 600, 680 and 780 °C. Microstructure was investigated by means of optical microscope and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Results show that, ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of copper alumina nanocomposite decrease slowly with increasing temperature. The yield strength reaches 119 MPa and ultimate tensile strength reaches 132 MPa at 780 °C. Surface fractography shows a dimple-type fracture on the fracture surface of the tensile tests where dimple size increases with increasing testing temperature and in some regions brittle fracture characteristics could be observed in the fracture surface.

Electropulse current effect during cold rolling on deformability, nanostructure formation and mechanical behavior in coarse-grained (CG) and ultrafine-grained (UFG) TiNi alloys enriched by nickel is investigated. The UFG sample subjected to cold rolling with current has a fracture strain (е = 1.91) which is higher than that without a current (е = 0.59). As a result of cold rolling with a current and a subsequent annealing at 400-450 °C, nanostructure is formed in both alloys, which leads to a significant enhancement of yield and ultimate stresses. It has been shown that the efficiency of electroplastic rolling depends on the purity of the alloys.

The effect of annealing on dynamic Young’s modulus, E, of ultrafine-grained (UFG) copper obtained by combined severe plastic deformation (SPD) is investigated. It is established that Young’s modulus in the SPD-prepared samples exceeds that in the coarse-grained fully annealed (CGFA) samples by 10 to 20 %. Isothermal annealing at elevated temperatures between 90 and 630°С leads to a sharp decrease of Young’s modulus for annealing temperatures above 210°С. After annealing at 410°С, the value of E reaches its minimal value that is 35 % lower than E in CGFA samples (total change in E is about 47 % of the initial value). Further annealing at higher temperatures leads to an increase in Young’s modulus. It is shown, that the unusual behavior of Young’s modulus is caused by formation of the <111> axial texture in the SPD-treated samples which then is replaced by the <001> texture during the post-SPD heat treatment.

The influence of elevated temperatures on mechanical behavior of glued laminated timber beams is examined on the basis of tensile tests. Dog bone samples prepared from beams exposed to fire of variable duration were categorized with respect to the type and position of the failure crack, type and number of discontinuities such as knots, and the level of browning. The acquired experimental results suggest that the wood variability and the effect of growth discontinuities are probably more significant than the effect of elevated temperatures. To support this conclusion, further study is currently under way, exploring samples from the second series of the fire tests.
