Infrared reflectivity spectrum of KTiOPO4 single crystal

The kinetic theory of overlapping phase transformations is a valuable tool in the characterization of diffusion-controlled precipitation reactions. Using this approach, one can obtain the kinetic parameters (n,?k) for simultaneous diffusion-controlled precipitation reactions, based on the knowledge of a specific macroscopic parameter, P(t), chosen to study the ongoing reaction. Both large and small process overlaps are considered. This methodology calculates the kinetic parameters for defined intervals of the fraction-transformed curve rather than for the entire curve. The approach used in this study permits an evaluation of which are the best protocols for the precipitate nucleation and growth rates during tempering reactions in low-alloy steel, whereas an analysis of the total combined transformations data set could lead to erroneous conclusions.     

Flow and Heat Transfer in Rough Micro Steel Tubes

Abstract

This article investigates the flow and heat transfer characteristics in micro steel tubes with inner diameters of 168 μm, 399 μm and relative roughness of 3.5% and 2.7%, respectively, by measuring the friction factors and the Nusselt number from laminar state to transitional state. Experiments show that the experimental Nusselt numbers are less than those predicted by the classical laminar correlation due to the effect of the variation of the thermophysical properties with temperature when Reynolds number is low. As the Reynolds number is higher than 800, the experimental Nusselt number are 25–50% higher than the predictions of the classical laminar and transitional correlations due to the effects of the roughness and the entrance length. The transition from laminar to turbulent flow occurs at the Reynolds number of 1,100–1,500.     

Comparative analysis of uniaxial strain shock tests and Taylor tests for maraging steels

High-strength constructional 38XH3MΦA steel and three kinds of maraging steel were tested to determine the yield stress under dynamic loading. The 38XH3MΦA steel was used as central test material to work out the experimental technique and compare the results obtained in different test methods. Results obtained in the plane shock tests under uniaxial strain condition show roughly the same yield stress values as those obtained in Taylor tests.     

Prestressed FRP and interface slip effect on interfacial stresses analysis: the new FRP sheets rigidity model

This paper presents an improved bi-material beam theory with adhesive interface and the new prestressed-fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) – model, which has been applied to the study the problem of interfacial stresses. This work explicitly considers the interfacial slip effect on the structural performance by including both the effect of adherend shear deformations and the fiber volume fraction of the prestressed laminates. This new method needs only one differential equation to determine both shear and normal interfacial stress, which is one aspect that has not been taken into account by the previous studies in the literature. A parametrical study is carried out to show the effects of some design variables, e.g., stiffness and thickness of adhesive layer and FRP plate.     

PFPE脂润滑2Cr13钢摩擦副的真空摩擦磨损行为研究

利用销-盘式摩擦磨损试验机对PFPE脂润滑2Cr13钢摩擦副进行了不同滑动时间的真空滑动摩擦磨损试验.采用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、X射线光电子能谱仪(XPS)和傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)分别对磨损表面的形貌、化学状态及润滑脂的结构和成分进行了系统分析.结果表明:随着滑动时间的增加,由微切削磨损、轻微腐蚀磨损向严重腐蚀磨损、轻度局部剥落继续向严重黏着磨损、严重局部剥落的严重复合磨损转变.在真空摩擦过程中PFPE润滑脂主要以物理退化为主,即润滑脂中基础油和增稠剂的相对比例发生变化.同时,PFPE润滑脂与2Cr13钢在摩擦过程中发生化学反应,生成具有催化作用的Fe F3.但由于所生成的Fe F3量较少,并未使PFPE润滑脂发生化学降解.     

表面粗糙度对Glidcop和Q345低周疲劳寿命影响的试验研究

为考察表面粗糙度对弥散增强铜合金Glidcop和低合金钢Q345疲劳寿命的影响,对两种材料都加工了不同粗糙度等级的试样,在常温下进行了应力控制的低周疲劳试验,并对断后的试样进行了扫描电镜观察。结果表明,两种材料共有的现象是:粗糙表面削弱了低周疲劳性能,随着表面粗糙度的增大,低周疲劳寿命呈下降趋势;表面粗糙度对主裂纹的形成时间有影响。不同的现象是:低周疲劳寿命与表面粗糙度的关系Glidcop为线性,而Q345则为幂函数;Glidcop的断口有轻微颈缩,疲劳辉纹明显,Q345的主裂纹沿着试样的径向和周向同时扩展,大粗糙度下辉纹支离破碎。因此,表面粗糙度对疲劳寿命的影响既表现出共同的现象,又呈现为材料相关性。本文的结果将为这两种材料制成的承受低周疲劳构件的表面粗糙度选取提供参考。     

Plastic deformation modelling of tempered martensite steel block structure by a nonlocal crystal plasticity model

The plastic deformations of tempered martensite steel representative volume elements with different martensite block structures have been investigated by using a nonlocal crystal plasticity model which considers isotropic and kinematic hardening produced by plastic strain gradients. It was found that pronounced strain gradients occur in the grain boundary region even under homogeneous loading. The isotropic hardening of strain gradients strongly influences the global stress–strain diagram while the kinematic hardening of strain gradients influences the local deformation behaviour. It is found that the additional strain gradient hardening is not only dependent on the block width but also on the misorientations or the deformation incompatibilities in adjacent blocks.

曲率半径对车轮滚动接触疲劳性能的影响

滚动接触疲劳和磨损是铁路轮轨损伤的主要问题.本文中应用赫兹接触理论,在JD-1型轮轨模拟试验机上,通过改变试验冲角,研究了干态工况下曲率半径对车轮钢滚动接触疲劳性能的影响,并用光学显微镜和扫描电子显微镜观察车轮试样剖面与磨痕表面交界处的疲劳裂纹,分析不同曲率半径条件下车轮的滚动接触疲劳机理.结果表明:由于加工硬化的作用试验后所有试样的硬度均有提高;随着曲率半径的减小,车轮钢的磨损量增大,塑性流变层增厚且不均匀,车轮试样疲劳裂纹扩展加剧;裂纹在交变应力作用下容易继续向下扩展,从而形成严重的疲劳破坏.     

Quantitative evaluation of ultrasonic C-scan image in acoustically homogeneous and layered anisotropic materials using three dimensional ray tracing method

Quantitative evaluation of ultrasonic C-scan images in homogeneous and layered anisotropic austenitic materials is of general importance for understanding the influence of anisotropy on wave fields during ultrasonic non-destructive testing and evaluation of these materials. In this contribution, a three dimensional ray tracing method is presented for evaluating ultrasonic C-scan images quantitatively in general homogeneous and layered anisotropic austenitic materials. The directivity of the ultrasonic ray source in general homogeneous columnar grained anisotropic austenitic steel material (including layback orientation) is obtained in three dimensions based on Lamb’s reciprocity theorem. As a prerequisite for ray tracing model, the problem of ultrasonic ray energy reflection and transmission coefficients at an interface between (a) isotropic base material and anisotropic austenitic weld material (including layback orientation), (b) two adjacent anisotropic weld metals and (c) anisotropic weld metal and isotropic base material is solved in three dimensions. The influence of columnar grain orientation and layback orientation on ultrasonic C-scan image is quantitatively analyzed in the context of ultrasonic testing of homogeneous and layered austenitic steel materials. The presented quantitative results provide valuable information during ultrasonic characterization of homogeneous and layered anisotropic austenitic steel materials.
