Local zone wise elastic and plastic properties of electron beam welded Ti–6Al–4V alloy using digital image correlation technique: A comparative study between uniform stress and virtual fields method

Joining of materials using welding results in the formation of material zones with varying microstructure across the weld. Extraction of the mechanical properties of those individual heterogeneous zones are important in designing components and structures comprised of welds. In this study, the zone wise local extraction of the elastic and plastic properties of an electron beam welded Ti–6Al–4V titanium alloy has been carried out using both the uniform stress method (USM) and the virtual fields method (VFM) involving digital image correlation (DIC) technique. The surface strain field obtained using DIC technique from a transverse weld specimen tensile testing is used for extracting the zone wise strain evolution. Initially, using uniform stress assumption, zone wise full range stress–strain curves are extracted. In USM methodology, the elastic and plastic material models are fitted to the zone wise stress–strain curves and required parameters are extracted from it. But inherent disadvantage is lot of images need to be processed for the parameter extraction. Recently, VFM is gaining lot of popularity in characterization domain as it is robust, accurate and faster. VFM is based on the principle of virtual work where, the weak form of local equilibrium equations and kinematically admissible virtual displacement fields are utilized for parameter extraction. Hollomon׳s power law is used here as the hardening rule. Young׳s modulus, Poisson׳s ratio, yield stress, strength coefficient and strain hardening exponent are the parameters extracted zone wise using both USM and VFM. A Vicker׳s microhardness measurement is also conducted across the weld zone towards mapping the strength behavior. Fusion zone has reported higher yield strength, strength coefficient and Poisson׳s ratio. Young׳s modulus value is found decreasing from base metal towards the fusion zone. The trend observed in parameter variation across the weld zone obtained by both USM and VFM compares very well. Due to various advantages associated with VFM technique it is generally recommended for parameter extraction.     

Determination of the Mercury Isotopic Ratio by Cold Vapor Generation Sector Field–Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometry Using Lead as the Internal Standard

Lead was applied as an internal standard for the determination of Hg isotopic ratios. Cold vapor generation (CV) coupled with sector field–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (CV-SF-ICP-MS) was used for determination of Hg. It was effective to avoid interferences of Pb from samples while improving the sensitivity of Hg isotopic analysis by an approximate factor of 45 times higher than the aerosol mode. CV-SF-ICP-MS system was constructed and operational parameters were optimized. Research showed that the long stability of the system was limited by SF-ICP-MS and had no relationship with CV under the optimized conditions. The optimized precision of Hg isotopic ratio analysis was approximately 0.1% during 4?h. Five models were applied for the mass bias correction and the Baxter model obtained the smallest relative difference, 0.52‰. The results showed that the mean value of NIST SRM 3133 Hg isotopic ratios obtained by Pb internal standard was nearly identical with the value for Tl. The same performance was also obtained in two environmental reference materials. The results show that Pb may be used as the internal standard for determination of Hg isotopic ratio instead of Tl.     

Fluorine-based plasmas: Main features and application in micro-and nanotechnology and in surface treatment

Fluorine cold plasmas produced by an electrical discharge in SF₆, CF₄, CHF₃ or C₄F₈ gases, principally, have two main fields of application. The first and historical application is etching of materials for microelectronics and later for micro- and nanotechnology. The second concerns the modification of surface properties, mostly in terms of reflectance and wettability. After an introduction to cold plasmas and plasma–surface interaction principles, the article aims at presenting successively the evolution of fluorine plasma etching processes since the origin with respect to other halogen-based routes in microelectronics, the important and raising application in deep etching and microtechnology, and finally some examples in surface treatment.     

CP-MAS C NMR and FT-IR investigation of the degradation reactions of polymer constituents in wood welding

The essential chemical modifications involving the polymeric constituents of wood in friction welding occur in the first 5-6 s slowing down or even stopping afterwards. FT-IR and CP-MAS ¹³C NMR of the welded area of wood have shown dehydration and an apparent increase in the crystallinity of cellulose. A certain level of hemicelluloses degradation occurs, accompanied by the generation of some furfural. Cellulose degradation is instead very slight. Both analytical techniques show an increase in the proportion of lignin in the welding interphase. A proportion of methoxy groups of lignin is de-etherified to phenolic hydroxy groups. Self-condensation of lignin occurs by internal rearrangement with the formation of Ar-Ar and Ar-CH₂-Ar bridges. This progresses throughout the whole process of welding. The formation of C-O-C bridges, although stopping after 6 s welding, at the start of wood carbonisation, also appears to contribute to the increase in cross-linking of the lignin network.     

基于光谱分析的CO_2激光+脉冲GMAW复合焊峰值状态激光能量传输研究

在激光+脉冲GMAW复合焊接过程中,焊丝端部金属熔化产生大量的金属蒸汽,导致等离子体中电子、粒子的扩散现象加剧,使得激光的传输模式和工件对激光能量的吸收率和吸收模式发生变化。基于光谱分析的方法得到了复合焊接峰值状态的电子密度和温度分布,通过高速摄影分析了不同焊接模式下等离子体形态的变化,结合Beer-Lambert吸收定律计算了不同焊接模式下激光的吸收率。结果表明,在复合焊过程中,由于焊丝端部金属被熔化,焊丝的金属蒸汽进入激光等离子体内部,导致激光匙孔上方电子密度进一步提高,等离子体吸收激光能量能力增强,使得激光的传输效率从纯激光焊的94.16%降低到了CO_2激光+脉冲GMAW复合焊的85.84%。
