FeMnNi合金的冲击相变和层裂特性的实验研究

对FeMnNi合金进行了轻气炮平板撞击实验研究,实验中材料发生了相变和层裂。得到的FeMnNi合金的相变阈值压力为6.3~6.9 GPa,远低于纯铁的相变阈值压力13 GPa,说明Mn、Ni合金元素的加入会极大的降低相变阈值。回收试样观测表明,当应力高于FeMnNi合金的相变阈值时,样品中可能产生二次层裂现象和浅表层裂新现象。实验结果还表明该合金相变后层裂强度没有明显的提高。

纯钒在冲击加载下的动态拉伸断裂和弹性波衰减特性

利用平板撞击和激光干涉测速技术，实验研究了国产热等静压纯钒在压力5.2~9.0 GPa、拉伸应变率0.47×105~1.19×105 s-1冲击加载下的层裂特性。结果表明:国产热等静压纯钒具有较强的抗动态拉伸断裂能力，其层裂强度在4.0~5.3 GPa范围，明显高于相似加载条件下文献给出的熔炼钒结果，这主要与热等静压加工工艺下纯钒杂质含量更低、内缺陷更少有关；同时，纯钒层裂强度对冲击压力和拉伸应变率均比较敏感。此外，对弹塑性加载速度剖面的分析发现:在6 mm样品厚度范围，纯钒的弹性波幅值随样品厚度增大而减小，雨贡纽弹性极限随样品厚度的衰减规律较好地满足指数关系σ_HEL=3.246（h_s/h₀）-0.386，h₀为单位长度。

平面碰撞与强激光加载下金属铝的层裂行为

在轻气炮和神光Ⅱ强激光装置上开展了金属铝的层裂实验。针对激光打靶层裂实验中样品自由面速度剖面后期振荡容易丢失问题,改进靶设计,获得很好效果。利用轻气炮加载和强激光加载层裂实验应变率的显著差异,并通过数值模拟,讨论了在建立具有预测能力的理论建模中需要关注的损伤成核、演化与汇合问题中的材料特性与应变率相关特性因素。结果表明,对于我们以前建立的动态损伤与断裂模型,微孔洞成核的平均半径、阈值压力、成核速率相关参数以及微孔洞长大的阈值压力等具有材料特性属性,但微孔洞的表面能以及决定材料发生完全层裂的临界损伤度等具有明显的应变率效应。另外,分析还发现,虽然层裂强度具有明显的应变率效应,但是在样品层裂当地,样品由持续拉伸向收缩转变的临界行为,取决于一个很小的临界损伤,这个临界值很可能是材料常数,与应变率无关。     

拉伸应变率对20钢层裂特性的影响

用于诊断材料微层裂的Asay窗技术

微层裂是冲击波物理领域的重要基础问题,在工程上具有重要应用价值。近年来用于诊断样品多层层裂的传统Asay窗技术被用于诊断微层裂,但对其诊断能力和信号特征认识仍存在严重不足。为此,通过波系分析,揭示出在薄飞片击靶的微层裂实验中样品破碎存在1个“痂片”特征区、2个微层裂特征区以及1个“残体”特征区。实验表明,在样品窗口间隙合适的条件下,Asay窗不仅能够有效区分这些不同特征分区,而且能够灵敏探测样品表面发射的高速微喷粒子,从而实现对样品连续破碎过程的精密诊断。

Impact toughness of a gradient hardened layer of Cr5Mo1V steel treated by laser shock peening

Laser shock peening (LSP) is a widely used surface treatment technique that can effectively improve the fatigue life and impact toughness of metal parts. Cr5Mo1V steel exhibits a gradient hardened layer after a LSP process. A new method is proposed to estimate the impact toughness that considers the changing mechanical properties in the gradient hardened layer. Assuming a linearly gradient distribution of impact toughness, the parameters controlling the impact toughness of the gradient hardened layer were given. The influences of laser power densities and the number of laser shots on the impact toughness were investigated. The impact toughness of the laser peened layer improves compared with an untreated specimen, and the impact toughness increases with the laser power densities and decreases with the number of laser shots. Through the fracture morphology analysis by a scanning electron microscope, we established that the Cr5Mo1V steel was fractured by the cleavage fracture mechanism combined with a few dimples. The increase in the impact toughness of the material after LSP is observed because of the decreased dimension and increased fraction of the cleavage fracture in the gradient hardened layer.     

Effect of the grain size on the macroscopic response of aluminum to shock loading

Shock tests of two lots of a 1420 aluminum-lithium alloy are performed. The mean grain size is 24 μm in the first lot and 1.6 μm in the second lot obtained by the method of equal-channel angular pressing. Two characteristics of dynamic strength of the material were determined in experiments on the high-velocity impact of flat samples: threshold of dynamic stability with respect to compression on the fore front of the compression pulse and spall strength of the material. The materials of both types have an identical threshold of dynamic stability with respect to compression, whereas the spall strength of the microcrystalline alloy is 20% greater than the spall strength of the polycrystalline alloy. The reason is the consumption of energy on structure formation in the coarse-grain material in passing to a larger-scale structural level (in the case with a fine-grain material, such a structure is available in the initial state). The experiments reveal the presence of a second plastic front whose amplitude is approximately 10% of the first plastic front. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 48, No. 6, pp. 135–146, November–December, 2007.     

Residual stress distribution on surface-treated Ti-6Al-4V by X-ray diffraction

The x-ray diffraction technique has been used to measure surface residual stress in Ti-6Al-4V samples subjected to shot peening (SP), laser shock peening (LSP) and low plasticity burnishing (LPB). The magnitude, spatial and directional dependence and uniformity of the surface residual stresses have been investigated. The results show that residual stresses due to SP are uniform and independent of direction. LSP has been observed to produce non-uniform residual stress varying from one region to another, and also within a single laser shock. In the case of LPB, residual stresses have uniform spatial distribution but have been observed to be direction-dependent. Various components of the residual stress tensor in the LPB sample have been determined following the Dolle-Hauk method. The results of the residual stress due to three surface treatments are compared, and possible reasons for spatial and directional dependence are discussed.     

Experimental and theoretical/numerical investigations of thin films bonding strength

A laser spallation facility has been developed to measure the strength of planar interfaces between a substrate and a thin coating. This quantity is a central requirement in contemporary thin film and protective coatings technology and its successful measurement should improve the scientific/technological potential for the design of advanced composites, protective coatings of composites that operate in hostile environments, and in joining of dissimilar materials. The technique involves impinging a laser pulse of ultra short duration on the rear surface of the substrate, which is coated by a thin layer of energy absorbing metal such as Sn and Pb. The explosive evaporation of the metallic layer, confined between a fused quartz crystal and the substrate, induces a compressive shock wave, which propagates through the substrate toward the material interface. Upon reflection from the free surface of the coating, the pressure pulse is converted into a tensile wave which, under certain conditions, can lead to spallation at the interface. It is shown by mathematical simulation that atomic bond rupture is the mechanism of separation in this experiment. Since the interaction of laser energy with matter is a complicated, highly non-linear process, our investigations, at first, were based on measurement of the pressure pulse generated by the threshold flux level that leads to spallation, by using a micro-electronics device with a piezo-electric crystal, and on computation of the tensile stress experienced at the material interface, by numerical simulation of the induced stress wave propagation. Several substrate/coating (ceramic/ceramic and ceramic/metal) systems have been investigated such as, 1–15 μm SiC by CVD, 1–4 μm TiC and TiN by PVD coatings on sapphire substrates, as well as 1–2 μm Au, Sn and Ag coatings by sputtering on sapphire, fused quartz and glass substrates. For identically prepared specimens, the measured threshold energy levels are reproducible, thus leading to reproducible bond strength values, while the spall size, as expected, is dependent on the laser pulse energy level. Finally, the bond strength values obtained are in very good agreement with similar data derived by direct experimental techniques based on Laser-Doppler-Interferometry.

聚龙一号上磁驱动铝飞片发射实验的数值分析与再设计

聚龙一号上PTS-151发次实验中,磁驱动加速370 μm厚飞片测得的最大速度为18 km/s,磁驱动加速482 μm厚飞片测得的最大速度为19 km/s。采用MDSC2程序, 对PTS-151发次实验进行了数值分析,结果表明:PTS-151发次实验中测量的最大速度的含义不同于以往文献中飞片的最大速度。以往文献中发射飞片在测试过程中自由面未被烧蚀,测试的最大速度为飞片自由面速度;PTS-151发次实验中两个飞片在测量过程中自由面被烧蚀,实验测量的最大速度为飞片被完全烧蚀前的一瞬间飞片内部最后一个固体面的速度。在飞片自由面未被烧蚀之前,370 μm厚飞片的计算最大自由面速度仅为7 km/s,482 μm厚飞片的计算最大自由面速度仅为11.8 km/s,远低于测量值。对PTS-151发次实验条件下飞片尺寸进行了再设计,飞片厚度为680 μm时最优,既能保证自由面未烧蚀,又使得飞片的速度最大,达到17.5 km/s。     

激光冲击修复后压力容器钢Q345R耐腐蚀及抗疲劳性能研究

对激光冲击强化后的压力容器材料Q345R钢的耐腐蚀性能和抗疲劳性能进行研究。通过电化学实验,并结合扫描电子显微镜分析其耐腐蚀性。结果显示,有吸收层保护和无吸收层保护激光冲击后,相较于原试样,耐腐蚀性分别提升5.8倍和2.6倍;微观实验结果表明经过激光冲击后腐蚀试样表面裂纹明显少于未处理试样。但随着冲击次数增加,耐腐蚀性有所下降。疲劳试验结果显示,相同应力条件下,腐蚀1和2 h的疲劳寿命相较于原试样降低36.8%和56.4%,经过一次或三次激光冲击后试件的疲劳寿命分别提升43.8%和198.2%,经XRD检测,激光冲击能在表面形成一定深度的残余压应力层并抑制裂纹扩展。

Experimental and Finite Element Simulation Study of Thermal Relaxation of Residual Stresses in Laser Shock Peened IN718 SPF Superalloy

An integrated experimental and modeling/simulation approach was developed to investigate and secure a quantified knowledge of the impact of high temperature exposures on the stability of residual stresses in a laser shock peened (LSP) high temperature aero-engine alloy, IN718 SPF (super-plastically formed). Single dimple LSP and overlap LSP treatments were carried out utilizing a Nd:Glass laser (λ?=?1.052 μm), and subsequent heat treatments on the LSP-treated coupons were conducted at different temperatures between 550 and 700 °C. A 3-D nonlinear finite element (FE) computational model and the rate-dependent Johnson-Cook material model were calibrated using the experimental results of residual stress from the single dimple LSP and thermal relaxation treatments, and were further extended to the overlap LSP treatment case. Both experimental and FE simulations show that: a) a high level of compressive residual stress (~700 MPa at surface) and residual stress depth (~0.4–0.6 mm) were achieved following LSP, and b) the overlap LSP treatment gave higher residual stress and greater depth. The magnitudes of the initial residual stress (and plastic strain), heating temperature and exposure time were identified as the key parameters controlling the thermal relaxation behavior. The stress relaxation mainly occurs initially before 20 min exposure and the extent of relaxation increases with an increase in temperature and a higher magnitude of the initial as-peened residual stress. In addition, in regions deeper than ~300 μm or after initial thermal exposure where the residual stress was lower than ~300 MPa, stress relaxation was found to be negligible. Kinetic analysis of the experimental thermal relaxation data based on Zener-Wert-Avrami model gave an activation enthalpy of 2.87 to 3.77 eV, which is near that reported in the literatures for volume and/or substitutional solute diffusion in Nickel. These results suggest that thermal relaxation of the LSP-induced residual stress occurs by a creep-like mechanism involving recovery, rearrangement and annihilation of dislocations by climb.
