A cylindrical indenter was designed to simulate the roller and 304 stainless steel / Q235A carbon steel plate with different roughness were bonded together. The interfacial bonding behavior was investigated by SEM, ultrasonic “C” scanning detection and nanoindentation test. The result reveal that with the increase of contact pressure between interfaces, the atoms of dissimilar metals begin to diffuse across interfaces in some regions, then form island-like bonding regions, and eventually extend to the whole interface. There are no obvious cracks on the surface of stainless steel and carbon steel after deformation. The cold roll-bonding mechanism of stainless steel and carbon steel is that elements on both sides of the interface diffuse and form a shallow diffusion layer under pressure to ensure the joint strength, and the joint bonding strength is greater than the strength of carbon steel matrix. In addition, the surface morphology of base metal has a great influence on the interfacial bonding quality. The higher surface roughness values increases the hardening degree of rough peak, which makes real contact area difficult to increase and reduce the interfacial bonding quality.

The effect of the neodymium content on mechanical properties of the electro-brush plated nanoAl2O3/Ni composite coating was investigated in this paper. The microstructure and phase structure were studied with scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The hardness and abrasion properties of several coatings with different neodymium content were studied by nanoindentation test and friction / wear experiment. Results show that the coatings are much finer and more compact when the neodymium was added, and the hardness and abrasion property of the coatings with neodymium were improved obviously. Besides, the small cracks conduced by the upgrowth stress in the coatings were ameliorated when the rare earth neodymium was added. The improvement mechanism was further discussed.

Modulus Measurement

ABSTRACTDuring the unloading segment of nanoindentation, time dependent displacement (TDD) accompanies elastic deformation. Consequently the modulus calculated by the Oliver-Pharr scheme can be overestimated. In this paper we present evidences for the influence of the measured modulus by TDD. A modification method is also presented to correct for the effects of TDD by extrapolating the TDD law in the holding process to the beginning of the unloading process. Using this method, the appropriate holding time and unloading rate can be estimated for nanoindentation test to minimise the effects of TDD. The elastic moduli of three materials computed by the modification method are compared with the results without considering the TDD effects.

AbstractThe developed numerical model of a local nanoindentation test, based on the digital material representation (DMR) concept, has been presented within the paper. First, an efficient algorithm describing the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) process was proposed to realistically recreate the specific morphology of a nanolayered material in an explicit manner. The nanolayered Ti/TiN composite was selected for the investigation. Details of the developed cellular automata model of the PLD process were presented and discussed. Then, the Ti/TiN DMR was incorporated into the finite element software and numerical model of the nanoindentation test was established. Finally, examples of obtained results presenting capabilities of the proposed approach were highlighted.

Radiation Crosslinking

Radiation crosslinking of polyamidu 6 (PA 6) is a well-recognized modification of improving basic material characteristics. Radiation, which penetrated through specimens and reacted with the cross-linking agent, gradually formed cross-linking (3D net), first in the surface layer and then in the total volume, which resulted in considerable changes in specimen behaviour. This research paper deals with the possible utilization of irradiated PA6. The material already contained a special cross-linking agent TAIC (5 volume %), which should enable subsequent cross-linking by ionizing β – radiation (15, 30 and 45 kGy). The effect of the irradiation on mechanical behavior of the tested PA 6 was investigated. Material properties created by β – radiation are measured by nanoindentation test using the DSI method (Depth Sensing Indentation). Hardness increased with increasing dose of irradiation at everything samples; however results of nanoindentation test shows increasing in nanomechanical properties of surface layer. The highest values of nanomechanical properties were reached radiation dose of 45 kGy, when the nanomechanical values increased by about 95%. These results indicate advantage cross-linking of the improved mechanical properties.

The paper reexamines the extraction of material properties using nanoindentation for linearly elastic and elastic-plastic materials. The paper considers indentation performed using a rigid conical indenter, as follows. Linearly elastic solids: The reduction of nanoindentation test data of elastic solids is usually processed using Sneddon’s relation [1], which assumes a linearly elastic infinite half space and an infinitely sharp indenter tip. These assumptions are violated in practical indentation experiments. Since most of the research on the extraction of material properties relies heavily on numerical simulations, we used them to investigate the specimen dimensions required for it to qualify as an infinite body, and the indentation conditions for finite tip radius effect to be negligible. The outcome of this part is firstly, the definition of a “converged” 2D geometry so that additional magnification of the numerical model does not influence the load-displacement curve, and secondly, an explicit relationship between the measured load and displacement that takes into account the finite tip radius. Elastic-plastic solids: Here, the main data reduction technique was proposed by Pharr et al. [2], assuming elastic unloading of a plastic nanoindentation. We investigated the effects of finite tip radius in elastic-plastic indentations and found that the accuracy of the prediction is currently limited by the accurate determination of the projected contact area. This point will be discussed and a new experimental technique to measure the projected contact area will be proposed. The Poisson’s ratio effect in elastic-plastic indentations is found to be different from the linearly elastic case. This leads to the discussion on the applicability of the correction factor (for Poisson’s ratio effect) derived in linear elastic indentations, on elastic-plastic indentations. Finally, a technique to obtain an upper bound estimate of the yield stress for the indented elastic-plastic material (which is an exact estimation for non-hardening materials), will be presented.

Onion-like carbon reinforced carbon-carbon composite was fabricated, and the influence of onion-like carbon (OLC) on the microstructure and mechanical and friction properties was investigated by porosity analysis, scanning electron microscopy, three-point bending test, nanoindentation test and ring-on-ring friction test. The results show that the sample containing OLC has a higher flexural strength (by 7.3%) and compressive strength (by 29.3%), hardness (by 2.1 times) and apparent density (by 1.1%) and smaller open porosity (7.9% vs 9.8%) and mesopore volume, which is confirmed by porosity analysis and is attributed to improved fiber/ matrix interface performance. The presence of OLC results in higher hardness and elastic modulus of carbon matrix under nanoindentation testing, which leads to modification of friction mechanism and a decrease in the wear rate under friction (by 3.3 times). Besides, OLC particles form self-lubricating film and show a graphitic carbon solid lubricant properties.

AbstractHerein, we evaluate the nanoindentation test capabilities in the determination of flow stress characteristics of the matrix material in porous sinters. The Distaloy AB sample with 15% porosity after the sintering operation is selected as a case study for the investigation. 2D and 3D imaging techniques are employed first to highlight difficulties in identifying reliable nano hardness measurement zones for further properties evaluation. Then, nanoindentation test results are acquired with Berkovich tip pressed under various loads at different locations in the sample. Systematic indentations in the quartz sample are used as a cleaning procedure to minimize the effect of the possible build-up around the indenter tip. The representative indentation load range is selected based on the extracted material characteristics. With that, the stress–strain response of the sinter matrix material is identified. The reliability of the determined flow stress curve is confirmed with the use of conical nanoindentation measurement results and finite element simulations. Obtained results show that it is possible to calculate reliable flow stress characteristics of the matrix in the porous samples, with the assumption that experiments under various loading conditions and from various locations in the matrix are performed. It is also pointed out that various indentation loads should be used to eliminate the influence of the pile-up or scale effects that affect the overall material response.
