Excellent Description

The effects of postprocessing annealing at 225 °C for 2 h on the creep properties of AlSi10Mg alloy were investigated through constant load experiments carried out at 150 °C, 175 °C and 225 °C. In the range of the experimental conditions here considered, the annealing treatment resulted in an increase in minimum creep rate for a given stress. The reduction in creep strength was higher at the lowest temperature, while the effect progressively vanished as temperature increased and/or applied stress decreased. The minimum creep rate dependence on applied stress was modeled using a physically-based model which took into account the ripening of Si particles at high temperature and which had been previously applied to the as-deposited alloy. The model was successfully validated, since it gave an excellent description of the experimental data.

Duplex Alloy

ABSTRACTTwo γ-based Ti-Al alloys with similar grain sizes and, respectively, lamellar and duplex microstructures have been creep tested at 700°C and constant stresses ranging between 280 and 430 MPa. TEM observations have confirmed that the duplex alloy deforms by extensive mechanical twinning whose density increases with applied stress and increasing strain. The new twin interfaces subdivide the γ grains throughout the primary stage of creep. At the onset of the minimum creep rate, the twin interfaces in the duplex alloy behave in the same way as the γ/γ or the α2/γ interfaces in the lamellar alloy. However, single dislocations were also present and it appears that in both alloys the deformation process is controlled by the accumulation and emission of dislocations from the different interfaces.

The microstructure and creep properties of a P911-type steel normalized at 1060°C and then subjected to one-step tempering at 760°C for 3 h or two-step tempering at 300°C for 3 h + 760°C for 3 h were examined. The transmission electron microscope (TEM) observations showed that the tempered martensite lath structure (TMLS) with a lath thickness of 340 nm evolved after both tempering regimes. High dislocation densities of 3×1014 or 5×1014 m-2 retained after one-and two-step tempering respectively. M23C6 carbides with a mean size of 120 nm and V-rich MX carbonitrides having a “wing” shape with an average length of about 40 nm precipitated on high-and low-angle boundaries and within ferritic matrix, respectively. A number of Nb-rich M(C,N) carbonitrides with a mean size of 20 nm precipitated on dislocations during low temperature tempering. The creep tests were carried out under constant load condition at 650°С at applied stresses of 100 and 118 MPa. Analysis of creep rate versus time curves showed that the use of two-step tempering decreases the minimum creep rate providing an increase in the creep strength in long-term conditions.

Abstract Over the range of variables (temperature and stress) normally encountered in service applications, creep behaviors of 9Cr-1Mo steel were investigated with various models, such as Wilshire model, combination of exponential form and omega (CEO) model, and continuum damage mechanics (CDM) model. First, a series of short-term creep data was prepared to evaluate the material parameters occurring in these models. Then, creep curve, minimum creep rate, and long-term creep life of present 9Cr-1Mo steel were extrapolated with these estimated models. Based on the analysis of obtained results in detail, it suggested that both CDM model and CEO model can give reliable minimum creep rate predictions. However, the most reliable values of long-term creep life are obtained by the CDM model, followed by the Wilshire model and then the CEO model. In particular, the physically based CDM model can provide useful insights into the underlying creep mechanisms. Therefore, the CDM model has promising potential to study the long-term creep behaviors of 9Cr-1Mo steels.

Si Content

Effect of silicon content on the creep properties of Ti-6Al-4Fe-xSi was studied. Creep resistance of Ti-6Al-4Fe-xSi alloys was superior to that of Ti-6Al-4V. Ti-6Al-4Fe-0.5Si alloy exhibited the highest rupture strength and creep resistance among the Ti-6Al-4Fe-xSi alloys investigated. The minimum creep rate of the alloys decreased with increasing silicon content up to 0.5wt.% and then it increased again when the silicon content was higher than 0.5wt.%. TiFe precipitates were formed mainly at the β phase area of Ti-6Al-4Fe-xSi alloys by consuming titanium and iron in β phase, when the alloys were thermally exposed at 500 and 600°C during the creep test. During the creep test, microvoids were induced at the TiFe/α phase interfaces and the cracks were formed along the TiFe/α phase interfaces by the coalescence of the voids. Those cracks were finally connected each other through the α phase.

Muscular Activation

The aim of this study was to compare the influence of constant or intermittent load on muscle activation and fatigue. The analysis and assessment of muscular activation and fatigue was based on surface EMG measurements from eight muscles (seven muscles of the right upper limb and trapezius muscle). Two EMG signal parameters were analyzed for each of the experimental conditions distinguished by the value of the external force and the character of the load – constant or intermittent. The amplitude related to its maximum (AMP) and the slope of the regression line between time and median frequency (SMF) were the EMG parameters that were analyzed. The results showed that constant load caused higher muscular fatigue than intermittent load despite the lower value of the external force and lower muscle activation. Results suggest that additional external force might influence muscle activation and fatigue more than upper limb posture. The results of the study support the thesis that all biomechanical factors which influence upper limb load and fatigue (upper limb posture, external force and time sequences) should be considered when work stands and work processes are designed. They also indicate that constant load should be especially avoided.

Al-3.9wt.%Cu alloy was subjected to equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) and subsequent low temperature annealing treatment, and the corrosion resistance of the samples was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization measurements in 3.5% NaCl solution. The results show that the corrosion rate of the ultrafine-grained alloy increases, in comparison with the coarse-grained alloy. Meanwhile, it is noted that the corrosion resistance of the alloy subjected to ECAP can be improved by relief annealing.

Creep deformation property of Grade T91 steels over a range of temperatures from 550 to 625°C was analyzed by means of the empirical creep equation reported in the previous study [1]. The creep equation consists of four time dependent terms and one constant and time to rupture is estimated as a time to total strain of 10%. Accuracy of the creep equation to represent creep curve and to predict time to rupture and minimum creep rate was indicated. Times to minimum creep rate, total strain of 1%, initiation of tertiary creep and rupture were evaluated by the creep equation. Stress dependence of strains at minimum creep rate and the initiation of tertiary creep were analyzed. Contribution of four time dependent terms to the strains at minimum creep rate, total strain of 1% and initiation of tertiary creep was investigated. Three parameters to determine a temperature and time-dependent stress intensity limit, St, were compared and a dominant factor of St was examined. Heat-to-heat variation of the creep deformation property was investigated on two heats of T91 steels contain low and high nickel concentrations.

Creep deformation behavior of SA387Gr91Cl2 heat-resistant steel used for steam cooler has been investigated. Creep tests were carried out using flat creep specimens machined from the normalized and tempered plate at 973K with stresses of 100, 125 and 150MPa. The minimum creep rate and rupture time dependence on applied stress was analyzed. The analysis showed that the heat-resistant steel obey Monkman-Grant and modified Monkman-Grant relationships.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the creep deformation behavior and microstructural degradation during creep of pre-strained 25Cr-20Ni-Nb-N steel (TP310HCbN), which has the highest creep strength among austenite stainless steels used for boiler tubes. The creep rupture strengths of the 20% pre-strained materials tested at 650°C under 210 MPa and 180 MPa were higher than those of solution-treated materials. However, the long time creep rupture strengths of the 20% pre-strained materials tested at 700°C and 750°C were lower than those of solution-treated materials. Thus, the creep strengths of the prestrained materials depend on test temperature and stress. Furthermore, the minimum creep rate of the 20% pre-strained materials and re-solution-treated materials tested at 650°C under 300MPa were 1.2 × 10−9 and 1.6 × 10−8 s−1, respectively. Thus, the minimum creep rate of the 20% pre-strained materials was lower than for re-solution-treated materials. The creep strengthening mechanism of the pre-strained materials at 650°C was considered to be that high-density dislocations were maintained until the late stage of creep. On the other hand, the creep rupture strengths of the 20% pre-strained materials were lower than those of solution-treated materials tested at over 700°C because of agglomeration and coarsening of precipitates and the recovery of dislocations.
