AbstractTi75Ta25 high-temperature shape memory alloys exhibit a number of features which make it difficult to use them as spring actuators. These include the high melting point of Ta (close to 3000 °C), the affinity of Ti to oxygen which leads to the formation of brittle α-case layers and the tendency to precipitate the ω-phase, which suppresses the martensitic transformation. The present work represents a case study which shows how one can overcome these issues and manufacture high quality Ti75Ta25 tensile spring actuators. The work focusses on processing (arc melting, arc welding, wire drawing, surface treatments and actuator spring geometry setting) and on cyclic actuator testing. It is shown how one can minimize the detrimental effect of ω-phase formation and ensure stable high-temperature actuation by fast heating and cooling and by intermediate rejuvenation anneals. The results are discussed on the basis of fundamental Ti–Ta metallurgy and in the light of Ni–Ti spring actuator performance.

Abstract POTOMAC is a general-purpose, low-carbon, chromium-molybdenum-tungsten hot-work steel. It has excellent resistance to shock and heat checking after repeated heating and cooling. Potomac is suitable for hot-work applications involving severe conditions of shock and sudden temperature changes. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on high temperature performance as well as forming, heat treating, and machining. Filing Code: TS-290. Producer or source: Allegheny Ludlum Corporation.

This contribution shows results of 3D-shaping experiments of ceramic tapes. The structures were made by wrapping structured tapes around a hexagonal alumina rod. After lamination, the rod was removed and the structure was finally fired, similarly as reported in [1]. One out of many possible applications of such structures is a miniaturized furnace for sintering of critical materials, which could contaminate expensive chamber furnaces, for tempering of single gas sensors, or for fast heating at controlled rate. While LTCC technology can be applied only up to 600–700 °C, application of HTCC tapes can extend temperature range to above 1000 °C. Therefore, 99.99% alumina tape (ESL 44007) was used. The here-shown miniaturized furnace has a hexagonal form. For a proper temperature distribution in the furnace chamber, the furnace was equipped with six platinum heaters that can be controlled independently. Finite Elements Analysis (FEM) supported the design process. The paper discusses manufacturing route, beginning with a design process supported by FEM through 3D-shaping by wrapping structured tapes around an alumina rod and finally firing and functionality tests.

AbstractThermal analyses of samples of thorium dicarbide in equilibrium with graphite show arrests which indicate phase transitions at 1427 ± 21°C arid 1481 ± 28°C. These thermal effects have been observed on heating and cooling both in standard thermal analysis and in differential thermal analysis using graphite as a reference material. The microstructure of thorium dicarbide samples shows the characteristic “herringbone” pattern of a material which has undergone a martensitic-type transition.A high-temperature X-ray investigation has revealed that the observed thermal arrests correspond to erystallographic transformations. The monodinic modification found at room temperature is stable to 1427°C, at which temperature a tetragonal modification with a0 = 4.235 ± 0.002Å and c0 = 5.408 ± 0.002Å is formed. At 1481°C, the tetragonal is transformed to cubic with a0 = 5.809 ± 0.002 Å. The best agreement between observed and calculated intensities has been obtained with C-C units of 1.5-Å assumed bond length in space groups P42/mmc and Pa3 for the tetragonal and cubic modifications, respectively.

Laser Beam Forming (LBF) being a novel technique and non-contact manufacturing process, employs laser beam as the tool of shaping and bending metal sheets into different shapes and curvatures for various applications. LBF is a high-temperature process, where rapid heating and cooling occurs causing microstructural changes like dynamic recrystallization and phase changes. The study becomes necessary to ensure that the structural integrity of the processed material is not compromised. Hence, the investigation focuses on the effect of temperature on the developed microstructure during the LBF process. The design of experiment was considered, using three levels and five factors. The experimentally measured curvatures were validated with the predicted measured curvatures, which were found to be in agreement. The result shows that the developed ferrite and pearlite grains were due to the heating and cooling. Furthermore, the average grain sizes at a low energy density of about 355°C and high energy density of about 747°C were found to be about 10 μm and 6 μm respectively. It is implied that the high temperature from the high laser energy aided the deformation of the grains significantly. However, such high temperature must be closely monitored so to avoid metallurgical notches in the processed component.

ASME B31.1 prescribes minimum requirements for the design, materials, fabrication, erection, test, inspection, operation, and maintenance of piping systems typically found in electric power generating stations, industrial and institutional plants, geothermal heating systems, and central and district heating and cooling systems.It also covers boiler-external piping for power boilers and high-temperature, high pressure water boilers in which steam or vapor is generated at a pressure of more than 15 psig; and high temperature water is generated at pressures exceeding 160 psig and/or temperatures exceeding 250 degrees F.

The effect of multiple martensitic transformations on the microstructure and thermodynamic parameters of the alloy of the TiNi system was investigated. It was shown that in the Ti50Ni50 alloy, with an increase in the number of thermal cycles with rapid heating and cooling up to n = 100, a consistent increase in the dislocation density occurs, and a decrease in the width of martensitic plates is observed. And also, that in TCs with fast heating and cooling of the Ti50Ni50 alloy in a coarse-grained state, a change in the trend in the temperatures of martensitic transformations is observed — with an increase in the number of thermal cycles to n = 50, they decrease, and at n> 50 the temperatures increase.
