Finite element analysis was conducted on a thermally-aged cast duplex stainless steel based on the true three-dimensional (3D) microstructure obtained from X-ray microtomography experiments and using the constitutive behavior of each individual phase extracted from nanoindentation on single-crystal and bicrystal micropillar compression tests. The evolution of the phase morphology, the mechanical properties and the boundary deformation behavior during the aging process are highlighted. Quantitative analysis in terms of the distribution and evolution of the stress and strain in both the as received and aged conditions was performed. The experimental results show that aging at an intermediate temperature has a negligible influence on the morphology of the two phases in cast duplex stainless steel (CDSS). Results from simulations reveal that the mechanical behavior of this material were seriously affected by the microstructure and the mechanical properties of the individual phase and the necking deformation tend to form in the area with less large ferrite grains after aging. In addition, stress localization tends to form at the austenite/ferrite interface, in the narrow region of ferrite grains and in the small ferrite grains.

Duplex stainless steels 2205 are widely used in constructional and petrochemical applications because of their good mechanical and corrosion properties. The objective of this work was to study the influence of aging at high temperature on the austenite and d ferrite equilibrium. After welding by TIG process, duplex stainless steel was aged in the range of 800 – 1150 °C temperatures for 60 min. The microstructure was characterized by metallography and X-ray methods. The toughness of welded structure was also measured.

AbstractIn this work, three-dimensional (3D) Cf/SiBCN composites were fabricated by polymer infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP) with poly(methylvinyl)borosilazane as SiBCN precursor. The 3D microstructure evolution process of the composites was investigated by an advanced X-ray computed tomography (XCT). The effect of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) initiator addition on the crosslinking process, microstructure evolution, and mechanical properties of the composites were uncovered. With the addition of a DCP initiator, the liquid precursor can cross-linking to solid-state at 120 °C. Moreover, DCP addition decreases the release of small molecule gas during pyrolysis, leading to an improved ceramic yield 4.67 times higher than that without DCP addition. After 7 PIP cycles, density and open porosity of the final Cf/SiBCN composite with DCP addition are 1.73 g·cm−3 and ∼10%, respectively, which are 143.0% higher and 30.3% lower compared with the composites without DCP addition. As a result, the flexural strength and elastic modulus of Cf/SiBCN composites with DCP addition (371 MPa and 31 GPa) are 1.74 and 1.60 times higher than that without DCP addition (213 MPa and 19.4 GPa), respectively.

When 2205 duplex stainless steel (DSS) is immersed in simulated seawater under high hydrostatic pressure, or in an electrochemically hydrogen charged state, a spindle-shaped product is found in the ferrite phase that seriously deteriorates the mechanical properties of 2205 DSS. This paper systematically studied the composition, structure, and properties of the hydrogen charging product. The results of a slow strain rate tensile test show that the hydrogen charging product evidently reduces the elongation of 2205 DSS, and microcracks mainly initiate at the interface between the hydrogen charging product and the ferrite matrix at either a low or a high strain rate. However, the elongation recovers to that of the hydrogen free sample after heating the sample at 300 °C for 0.5 h. The nano-hardness and reduced modules of the product are higher than those of the ferrite and austenite phases. An element analysis by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) indicates that the Ni and H contents in the hydrogen charging product are higher than in the normal ferrite area, and X-ray diffraction shows the characteristic peak of iron hydride at 40.07°. Moreover, a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) test demonstrated that the phase decomposition temperature of the product is 268 °C, which coincides with the fact that it dissolves at a high temperature caused by the focused electron beam during transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. All experimental results indicate that the hydrogen charging product is a hydride of FeH or (Fe, Ni)H.

Polyurethane foams have unique properties that make them suitable for a wide range of applications, including cushioning and seat pads. The foam mechanical properties largely depend on both the parent material and foam cell microstructure. Uniaxial loading experiments, X-ray tomography and finite element analysis can be used to investigate the relationship between the macroscopic mechanical properties and microscopic foam structure. Polyurethane foam specimens were scanned using X-ray computed tomography. The scanned geometries were converted to three-dimensional (3D) CAD models using open source, and commercially available CAD software tools. The models were meshed and used to simulate the compression tests using the implicit finite element method. The calculated uniaxial compression tests were in good agreement with experimental results for strains up to 30%. The presented method would be effective in investigating the effect of polymer foam geometrical features in macroscopic mechanical properties, and guide manufacturing methods for specific applications.
