In this paper, the mechanical properties of the material that define its mechanical behavior are experimentally investigated. All performed experimental tests and analyzes are related to C15E + C steel. The tested material was delivered as cold drawn round bar. It is usually used in mechanical engineering for design of low stressed components. Experimentally obtained results relate to the maximum tensile strength, yield strength, creep behavior, and uniaxial fully reversed high cyclic fatigue. Results representing mechanical properties are shown in the form of engineering stress–strain diagrams, while creep behavior of the material at different temperatures and different stress levels is displayed in the form of creep curves. Tests representing uniaxial cyclic fully reversed mechanical fatigue at constant stresses and room temperature in air are shown in the form of fatigue-life (S−N) diagram. Some of the experimental results obtained are as follows: ultimate tensile strength (σm(20 °C/500 °C)=(598/230) MPa), yield strength (σ0.2(20 °C/500 °C)=(580/ 214 ) MPa ), modulus of elasticity (E(20 °C/500 °C)=(213/106) GPa), and fatigue limit (σf(20 °C, R=−1)=250.83 MPa). The fatigue tests were performed at frequency of 40 Hz and at room temperature (20 °C) in air, with stress ratio of R=−1.

The microstructures and mechanical properties of the Mg88.5Zn5Y6.5-XREX (RE = Yb and Ce, X = 0, 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5) (wt.%) alloys were investigated in the present study. Mg88.5Zn5Y6.5 is composed of three phases, namely, α-Mg, long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phases, and intermetallic compounds. The content of the LPSO phases decreased with the addition of Ce and Yb, and no LPSO phases were detected in Mg88.5Zn5Y2.0Yb4.5. The alloys containing the LPSO phases possessed a stratified microstructure and exhibited excellent mechanical properties. Mg88.5Zn5Y5.0Ce1.5 exhibited the highest creep resistance and mechanical strength at both room temperature and 200 °C, owing to its suitable microstructure and high thermal stability. The yield strength of Mg88.5Zn5Y5.0Ce1.5 at room temperature was 358 MPa. The ultimate tensile strength of Mg88.5Zn5Y5.0Ce1.5 at room temperature and 200 °C was 453 MPa and 360 MPa, respectively.

Knowledge of the properties and behavior of materials under certain working conditions is the basis for the selection of the proper material for the design of a new structure. This paper deals with experimental investigations of the mechanical properties of unalloyed high quality steel S235JRC + C (1.0122) and its behavior under conditions of high temperatures, creep and mechanical fatigue. The response of the material at high temperatures (20–700 °C) is shown in the form of engineering stress-strain diagrams while that at creep behavior (400–600 °C) is shown in the form of creep curves. Furthermore, based on uniaxial fully reversed mechanical fatigue tests (R=−1), a stress-life (S-N) fatigue diagram has been constructed and the fatigue (endurance) limit of the material is calculated The experimentally determined value of tensile strength at room temperature is 534 MPa. The calculated value of the fatigue limit, also at room temperature, using the modified staircase method and based on the mechanical fatigue tests data, is 202 MPa. With regard to creep resistance, steel 1.0122 can be considered creep-resistant only at a temperature of 400 °C and at an applied stress not exceeding 50% of the yield strength corresponding to this temperature.

To investigate the effects of Mo and Bi on mechanical properties of a Zr-Fe-Cr alloy at room temperature, seven Zr-Fe-Cr-Mo-Bi alloys with different compositions were designed. They were subjected to a series of rolling processes and heat treatments, and then sampled to measure mechanical properties by hardness and tensile test and to characterize microstructures by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron channel contrast (ECC) technique. Results indicated that among them two types of Zr-Fe-Cr-Mo-Bi alloys achieve the designed goals on mechanical properties and have the following advantages: (i) the hardness of the alloys, up to 334HV after annealing, is 40% higher than traditional Zr-4. (ii) The yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the alloys are 526 MP a and 889 MP a after hot rolling and annealing, markedly higher than the traditional Zr alloy. (iii) Good plasticity of the new Zr-Fe-Cr-Mo-Bi alloy is obtained with about 40% elongation, which is greatly higher than the Zr-Fe-Cr-Mo alloy thanks to the addition of Bi offsetting the disadvantage of addition Mo. Furthermore, according to observations of the microstructure observation, the reasons of the effect of the Mo and Bi elements on the mechanical performance of Zr-Fe-Cr alloy were studied and discussed.

ABSTRACTMeasurements of tensile strength and creep resistance have been made on bulk samples of nanocrystalline Cu, Pd and Ag consolidated from powders by cold compaction. Samples of Cu-Cu2O have also been tested. Yield strength for samples with mean grain sizes of 5–80 nm and bulk densities on the order of 95% of theoretical density are increased 2–5 times over that measured in pure, annealed samples of the same composition with micrometer grain sizes. Ductility in the nanocrystalline Cu has exceeded 6% true strain, however, nanocrystalline Pd samples were much less ductile. Constant load creep tests performed at room temperature at stresses of >100 MPa indicate logarithmic creep. The mechanical properties results are interpreted to be due to grain size-related strengthening and processing flaw-related weakening.

Bending cyclic fatigue tests of 2D laminated C/C composites were conducted under load control at a sinusoidal frequency of 10 Hz. And three-point bending tests of fatigued specimens with various cycles were conducted at room temperature to evaluate the effects of cyclic load on mechanical properties. 2D C/C specimens were prepared by an isothermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. The mechanical properties of composites were improved after cyclic loading at most the flexural strength by about 46% and the modulus 38%. The results show that the flexural properties of C/C composites were enhanced with the increase in fatigue cycles. It is suggested that the weakened interface between matrix and fibers by cyclic load play important roles in enhancing the property of C/C composites.

In this study, the microstructures and mechanical properties of the recently developed Eco-2024-T3 alloy were examined. Eco-2024 is made using Eco-Mg (Mg-Al2Ca) in place of element Mg during the manufacture of alloy 2024-T3. This is an alloy that has economic advantage and excellent properties. Alloy Eco-2024 showed smaller crystal grains that were distributed more evenly compared to the existing alloy 2024-T3. It consisted of Al matrices containing minute amounts of Al2CuMg, Al2Cu, and Ca phases and showed microstructures with reduced amounts of Fe phases or oxide. As a result of tensile tests, this alloy exhibited yield strength of 413 MPa, tensile strength of 527 MPa, and elongation of 15.4%. In other words, it showed higher strength than the existing alloy 2024 but was similar to the existing alloy 2024 in terms of elongation. In fatigue tests, alloy Eco-2024-T3 recorded fatigue limit of 330 MPa or around 80% of its yield strength; this is a much more excellent property compared to the existing alloy 2024-T3, which has fatigue limit of 250 MPa. Based on the aforementioned results, the correlation between the excellent mechanical properties of alloy Eco-2024-T3 and its microstructure was examined.

Developing new alloys and techniques is important for the applications of magnesium alloy products. The greatest challenge in the area is to exploit new wrought magnesium alloys[1]. In this paper, the effects of Zn addition on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the MZK60 wrought alloy which is modified from ZK60 have been investigated. The microstructures of these alloys at various states were evaluated by optical microscopy. The mechanical properties at room temperature of these alloys were studied systematically by tensile test. Experimental results indicated that increasing Zn content to 7~10%wt is able to get not only higher tensile strength and yield strength, but also higher elongation.

Microstructures and tensile properties of Mg-8Zn-4Al-xCax=0.6wt.%, 1.0wt.%, 1.3wt.%, named as alloy 1#, 2# and 3# , respectively)extruded magnesium alloy tube were studied at room and elevated temperature. The results show that Ca can increase tensile strength of the alloy at 150 and 200°C significantly. At the temperature of 200°C, alloy 3# achieved optimal tensile properties, of which the ultimate tensile strength, the yield strength and the elongation were 165.8MPa, 108.7Mpa and 41.5% respectively. Compared with the properties of as cast ZAC8506 Magnesium alloy, it is shown that the tensile properties of alloy 3# are much higher than that of ZAC8506 at both room temperature and 150°C. Alloy 3# also gets better tensile performance than AZ91D extruded tube produced in the same way at the temperature of 200°C Mg2Al3 and Ca2Mg5Zn13 phases are found in the microstructure which should contribute to the higher performance of alloy 3# at elevated temperature

In this work, the tensile properties of AZ31 Mg alloy deformed by multi-directional forging (MDF) were investigated at room temperature. And the enhanced mechanical properties of yield strength of 93 MPa, ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 253 MPa and elongation of 29% were achieved. It is discovered that the MDF deformation makes the crystallographic orientation of original as-cast microstructure randomization, providing the condition for the following twinning during tensile deformation. In addition, the original fine grains and continuously refined grains can enhance the strength by restricting the growth of grains and motion of dislocations.
