AbstractTwo model aluminium-magnesium alloys, containing 3 and 7.5 wt.% of Mg, were subjected to plastic deformation by means of hydrostatic extrusion (HE). Two degrees of deformation were imposed by two subsequent reductions of the diameter. Microstructural analysis and tensile tests of the materials in the initial state and after deformation were performed. For both materials, HE extrusion resulted in the deformation of the microstructure—formation of the un-equilibrium grain boundaries and partition of the grains. What is more, HE resulted in a significant increase of tensile strength and decrease of the elongation, mostly after the first degree of deformation.

Chatelier Effect

In this work, Al-Mg-Mn-Si alloy (5483) in the as-received and severe plastically deformed states was used. Plastic deformation was carried out by hydrostatic extrusion, and three different true strain values were applied 1.4, 2.8 and 3.8. All specimens were subjected to tensile tests and microhardness measurements. The investigated material revealed an instability during plastic deformation in the form of serration on the stress-strain curves, the so called Portevin-Le Chatelier effect It was shown that grain size reduction effected the character of the instability.

Microstructure And Mechanical Properties

This work focused on the influence of hydrogen content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of ER5183 Al-Mg-Mn alloy wires for aluminum alloy welding. The hydrogen content of the ER5183 wires was measured, the macroscopic and microscopic morphologies of fractures were observed as well as the microstructure of the wires, and the tensile strength of the wires was also tested and investigated. The experimental results demonstrated three typical irregular macroscopic fractures of the wires appeared during the drawing process when the hydrogen content exceeded 0.23 μg/g. In the meantime, the aggregated pores were observed in the microstructure of the ϕ5.2 mm wire with the hydrogen content of 0.38 μg/g. Such defects may become the origin of cracks in subsequent processing and tensile tests. Moreover, higher hydrogen content in the ϕ5.2 mm welding wire will bring obvious changes in the fracture surface, which are internal cracks and micropores replacing the original uniform and compact dimples. With the higher hydrogen content, the tensile strength and plastic strain rate of ϕ1.2 mm wires would decrease. At the same time, unstable crack propagation would occur during the process of plastic deformation, leading to fracture. Considering the mechanical properties and microstructure, the hydrogen content of the ER5183 wires should be controlled below 0.23 μg/g.

Hydrostatic extrusion can be viewed as one of the methods of Severe Plastic Deformation, SPD, for the fabrication of ultra-fine grained alloys which causes a significant increase in the mechanical properties such as tensile strength and hardness. In the present study the microstructure of 6082 aluminium alloy after hydrostatic extrusion was investigated. Hydroextrusion was performed in three steps with accumulated true strains of 1.34, 2.73 and 3.74 respectively. Microstructural observations were carried out using SEM, TEM and light microscopy. Grain and inclusion sizes, shapes and distribution were investigated in the HE processed samples. The study has shown that the hydrostatic extrusion process results in a profound refinement of both the grain size and the inclusions in 6082 aluminium alloy.

Titanium Grade

The mechanical properties of titanium Grade 2 subjected to the hydrostatic extrusion technique (HE) were investigated. The hydrostatic extrusion technique is a method which refines the titanium grains to a nano-metric size. Compared with coarse grained titanium (CG-Ti), nanocrystalline titanium (NC-Ti) is characterized by a much higher yield stress, tensile strength and microhardness. The yield stress of NC-Ti determined in tensile tests is higher than that measured in compression test. The Young modulus of NC-Ti is slightly lower than that of CG-Ti.

Studies show that although commonly used steels are standardized, some of their mechanical properties (such as tensile strength) vary widely and knowledge of their corrosion behavior is insufficient. Additional treatments, such as plastic deformation, alter the structure of carbon steels and affect their properties. This article explores one of the most widely used materials in mechanical and civil engineering - steel S235. Two types of rods, 6 mm in diameter, from hot-rolled non-alloy structural steel (S235JR, BDS EN 10025-2: 2005) and bright cold drawn steel (S235JRC, BDS EN 10277-2: 2008) have been tested. Tensile tests have been carried out, stress-strain curves are constructed and compared, the main mechanical properties such as yield strength, tensile strength and modulus of elasticity are determined. The typical consequences of plastic deformation such as increased yield strength have been identified. The assessment of corrosion behavior was done by means of the weight loss method in a 3,5% NaCl water solution for 5 weeks. It was found out that in the studied period the two types of rod exhibit close corrosion resistance, with the tendency for the cold drawn steel to have a higher uniform corrosion rate over a longer period.

Titanium was subjected to hydrostatic extrusion, a method of producing Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD). The experiments were aimed at refining the microstructure of the titanium in order to improve some of its mechanical properties. The effect of the initial state of titanium on the process of extrusion process and the final product was investigated. The results of these investigations are used to establish the optimum conditions for the hydrostatic extrusion process and more easily selecting the initial condition of the material according to the intended application of the extruded product.

3D printing technology has been extensively applied in the medical field, but the ability to replicate tissues that experience significant loads and undergo substantial deformation, such as the aorta, remains elusive. Therefore, this study proposed a method to imitate the mechanical characteristics of the aortic wall by 3D printing embedded patterns and combining two materials with different physical properties. First, we determined the mechanical properties of the selected base materials (Agilus and Dragonskin 30) and pattern materials (VeroCyan and TPU 95A) and performed tensile testing. Three patterns were designed and embedded in printed Agilus–VeroCyan and Dragonskin 30–TPU 95A specimens. Tensile tests were then performed on the printed specimens, and the stress-strain curves were evaluated. The samples with one of the two tested orthotropic patterns exceeded the tensile strength and strain properties of a human aorta. Specifically, a tensile strength of 2.15 ± 0.15 MPa and strain at breaking of 3.18 ± 0.05 mm/mm were measured in the study; the human aorta is considered to have tensile strength and strain at breaking of 2.0–3.0 MPa and 2.0–2.3 mm/mm, respectively. These findings indicate the potential for developing more representative aortic phantoms based on the approach in this study.

This paper investigates the possibility of utilizing steel slags produced in the steelmaking industry as an alternative to burnt clay brick aggregate (BA) in concrete. Within this context, physical, mechanical (i.e., compressive and splitting tensile strength), length change, and durability (porosity) tests were conducted on concrete made with nine different percentage replacements (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 80%, and 100% by volume of BA) of BA by induction of furnace steel slag aggregate (SSA). In addition, the chemical composition of aggregate through X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis and microstructural analysis through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of aggregates and concrete were performed. The experimental results show that the physical and mechanical properties of concrete made with SSA were significantly higher than that of concrete made with BA. The compressive and tensile strength increased by 73% when SSA fully replaced BA. The expansion of concrete made with SSA was a bit higher than the concrete made with BA. Furthermore, a significant lower porosity was observed for concrete made with SSA than BA, which decreased by 40% for 100% SSA concrete than 100% BA concrete. The relation between compressive and tensile strength with the porosity of concrete mixes are in agreement with the relationships presented in the literature. This study demonstrates that SSA can be used as a full replacement of BA, which is economical, conserves the natural aggregate, and is sustainable building material since burning brick produces a lot of CO2.

Liquid Nitrogen Cooling

Liquid nitrogen is a type of super-cryogenic fluid, which can cause the reservoir temperature to decrease significantly and thereby induce formation rock damage and cracking when it is injected into the wellbore as fracturing fluid. An experimental set-up was designed to monitor the acoustic emission signals of coal during its contact with cryogenic liquid nitrogen. Ultrasonic and tensile strength tests were then performed to investigate the effect of liquid nitrogen cooling on coal cracking and the changes in mechanical properties thereof. The results showed that acoustic emission phenomena occurred immediately as the coal sample came into contact with liquid nitrogen. This indicated that evident damage and cracking were induced by liquid nitrogen cooling. During liquid nitrogen injection, the ring-down count rate was high, and the cumulative ring-down counts also increased rapidly. Both the ring-down count rate and the cumulative ring-down counts during liquid nitrogen injection were much greater than those in the post-injection period. Liquid nitrogen cooling caused the micro-fissures inside the coal to expand, leading to a decrease in wave velocity and the deterioration in mechanical strength. The wave velocity, which was measured as soon as the sample was removed from the liquid nitrogen (i.e. the wave velocity was recorded in the cooling state), decreased by 14.46% on average. As the cryogenic samples recovered to room temperature, this value increased to 18.69%. In tensile strength tests, the tensile strengths of samples in cooling and cool-treated states were (on average) 17.39 and 31.43% less than those in initial state. These indicated that both during the cooling and heating processes, damage and cracking were generated within these coal samples, resulting in the acoustic emission phenomenon as well as the decrease in wave velocity and tensile strength.

AbstractIn this study, the effect of solid solution temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties of the AA7075 alloy after T6 heat treatment was investigated. Following solid solution at five different temperatures for 2 hours, the AA7075 alloy was quenched and then artificially aged at 120∘C for 24 hours. Hardness measurements, microstructure examinations (SEM+EDS, XRD) and tensile tests were carried out for the alloys. The results showed that the increased solid solution temperature led to formation of precipitates in the microstructures and thus caused higher hardness and tensile strength.
