AbstractThree-dimensional (3D) nondestructive microstructural characterization was performed using full-field transmission X-ray microscopy on an Sn-rich alloy, at a spatial resolution of 60 nm. This study highlights the use of synchrotron radiation along with Fresnel zone plate optics to perform absorption contrast tomography for analyzing nanoscale features of fine second phase particles distributed in the tin matrix, which are representative of the bulk microstructure. The 3D reconstruction was also used to quantify microstructural details of the analyzed volume.

ABSTRACTThis study consisted of the characterization of longitudinal cracking pattern observed in weld joint in the manufacture of 304L steel pipelines with thin wall thickness by GTAW process. These tubes are used in food and automotive industries. The cracks grown in the liquid-solid interdendritic zones at high temperatures. It was found that the cracks are associated with change on solidification mode and presence of the holes produced by shrinkage. The change in the solidification mode was associated with the presence of second phase particles. The results suggest that the formation of cracks is promoted by increasing current during the welding although the heat input is constant.

Alloy 718 is a nickel-based superalloy which consists of an FCC solid solution of Ni, Fe, and Cr strengthened with γ″ precipitates. The composition of the alloy is shown in Table 1. It has excellent high temperature mechanical properties and oxidation resistance. However, Alloy 718 is susceptible to hot cracking in weld heat affected zones (HAZ) as a result of the formation of intergranular liquid. This metastable grain boundary liquid may be due to “constitutional liquation” of second phase particles, known as constitutional liquid film migration (CLFM). Radhakrishnan and Thompson report that CLFM can occur in situ in the weld HAZ of alloy 718 as a result of constitutional liquation.Constitutional liquation can be described in terms of a binary alloy with a phase diagram such as theone shown in Figure 1. If an alloy of composition C° is rapidly heated above theeutectic temperature, TE, to temperature T, the AB particles will not have sufficient time to dissolve, as dictated by equilibrium.

The microstructure and mechanical properties of ultrasonically welded AA6111-T4 specimens are discussed. The effects of welding time on the mechanical properties of welded joints are investigated. A longer welding time results in a more continuous welded interface and higher yield and fracture strengths. Accordingly, fatigue properties of the welded specimens with longer welding times are improved. The results of electron microscopy on the cross section of ultrasonically welded joints show three distinct zones: weld zone, weld affected zone and compression zone each with a distinct microstructure. TEM results show nanocrystalline grains along with second phase particles in the range of 15–25 nm in the weld zone. Flow patterns consistent with the geometry of weld–tip were observed at the weld interface.

The Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process is a quite recent joining method whose particular characteristics yield to materials modifications not yet fully understood. This paper aims to present the research results of a study focused on the modifications induced in an aluminium alloy AA5083 – H111, when processed by FSW to build components for structural applications. The welded samples were firstly analysed by optical microscopy in order to define the different joined zones and to identify defects. Further tests included the measurement of the Vickers microhardness, grain and particle distribution and chemical analysis of the constituents, particularly of the intermetallic second phase particles, by Auger spectroscopy. Special attention has been given to the characterisation of several microstructural “non-homogeneities” like a laminated structure called onion ring and an identified anomaly (in the form of a line), whose presence was evaluated in order to determine its effects on the final joint properties. The results have shown important new details about the relationship between the microstructure and the final joint structural properties, contributing to improve the knowledge about the materials behaviour increasing the potential of utilization of the FSW process.

The performance and life of machined components in service are mainly effect by their surface integrity. Burnishing process is a kind of chipless processing which improve the surface integrity obviously. A subsurface “hardness film” is formed during the processing. Subsurface mechanical behavior is the main part of surface integrity. Since the very small scale of the subsurface in burnished surface nanoindentation is used to identify how the local changes of microstructure influence the hardness distributions of subsurface mechanical properties. This study focuses on the relationships between burnishing parameters (burnishing feed and burnishing depth) and nanohardness. A series of burnishing processing experiments and nanoindentation tests were conducted on the surface of the burnished samples. The microstructure and nanoindentation research results indicate that there is no visible phase transformed region in the subsurface of burnished specimens, the hardening film is larger than 4 micro meters, the nanohardness is about 2.2~3.5Gpa which depends on the burnishing parameters and distribution and position of the second phase particles, while the nanohardness in turned material is about 1.8Gpa.
