Aging Phenomena

Conventional tensile test methods are used for service exposed high temperature boiler tubes to evaluate the deterioration in mechanical properties such as tensile strength, yield strength and percentage elongation. The mechanical properties are required to be evaluated periodically as the boiler components undergo material degradation due to aging phenomena. The aging phenomena occurs due to continuous exposure of tubes to high temperature & pressure steam prevailing inside the tubes and high temperature exposure to corrosive combustible gases from the external surfaces within the boiler.A recent developed new technique called small punch testing has been used to evaluate the tensile properties of SA 213T22 grade steel predominantly exists in super-heater and re-heater sections of boiler. The small punch tests have been carried out on the miniature disk shaped specimens of diameter of 8.0 mm and 0.5 mm thickness extracted from both the new and service exposed tubes. Conventional uniaxial tensile tests on standard specimens from the same tube material have also been performed for comparison. The service exposed tubes showed considerable loss in mechanical properties in both the conventional and small punch test results. Correlations of tensile properties have been obtained based on the comparative analysis of both small punch and uniaxial tensile test results. Further, the study showed that an appropriate empirical relation could be generated for new and service exposed materials between both the techniques. Conventional test methods require large quantity of material removal for test samples from in-service components whereas small punch test method needs only a miniature sample extraction. This small punch test technique could also be extended to evaluate the thicker section boiler components such as pipelines and headers in the boiler as a part of remaining life assessment study. Also this technique could be a useful tool to any metallic component where large quantity of sample removal may be difficult or may not be feasible.

Uniaxial Tensile Testing

The instrumented indentation technique (IIT) is a novel method for evaluating mechanical properties such as tensile properties, toughness and residual stress by analyzing the indentation load-depth curve measured during indentation. It can be applied directly on small-scale and localized sections in industrial structures and structural components since specimen preparation is very easy and the experimental procedure is nondestructive. We introduce the principles for measuring mechanical properties with IIT: tensile properties by using a representative stress and strain approach, residual stress by analyzing the stress-free and stressed-state indentation curves, and fracture toughness of metals based on a ductile or brittle model according to the fracture behavior of the material. The experimental results from IIT were verified by comparing results from conventional methods such as uniaxial tensile testing for tensile properties, mechanical saw-cutting and hole-drilling methods for residual stress, and CTOD test for fracture toughness.

3D Braided Composites

The uniaxial tensile properties of 4-step 3D braided E-glass/epoxy composites under quasi-static and high-strain rate loadings have been investigated to evaluate the tensile failure mode at different strain rates. The uniaxial tensile properties at high strain rates from 800/s to 2100/s were tested using the split Hopkinson tension bar (SHTB) technique. The tensile properties at quasi-static strain rate were also tested and compared with those in high strain rates. Z-transform theory is applied to 3D braided composites to characterize the system dynamic behaviors in frequency domain. The frequency responses and the stability of 3D braided composites under quasi-static and high-strain rate compression have been analyzed and discussed in the Z-transform domain. The results indicate that the stress-strain curves are rate sensitive, and tensile modulus, maximum tensile stress and corresponding tensile strain are also sensitive to the strain rate. The tensile modulus, maximum tensile stress of the 3D braided composites are linearly increased with the strain rate. With increasing of the strain rate (from 0.001/s to 2100/s), the tensile failure of the 3D braided composite specimens has a tendency of transition from ductile failure to brittle failure. The magnitude response and phase response is very different in quasi-static loading with that in high-strain rate loading. The 3D braided composite system is more stable at high strain rate than quasi-static loading.

Effect Of Oxygen

Uniaxial tensile properties of the niobium-base alloy Cb-752 have been determined as a function of oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen content over a temperature range of −196 C to 200 deg C. Each of these impurities increased the temperature at which a ductile-brittle transition occurs. Although ductility was severely reduced, strength parameters were relatively unchanged making detection of embrittlement by hardness testing difficult. Impurity levels for embrittlement were sufficiently low and the affinity of Cb-752 for contamination sufficiently great that processing operations require strict control. The mechanism of this impurity embrittlement is not well understood. However, observations of fracture surfaces of brittle failures reveal mixed intergranular cleavage with a uniform distribution of precipitates throughout grain boundaries. These observations are discussed in the light of current theories.

Indentation Tests

In this study, spherical indentation tests were used to determine the uniaxial tensile properties of metals at elevated temperatures (200 °C, 400 °C, and 600 °C). Taking the difference between spherical indentation tests at room and elevated temperatures into consideration, the incremental and analytical models were used to determine material parameters ( σ0, Ep, and n) and thermal softening parameters ( Eeff and m) in the Johnson–Cook constitutive equation, respectively. A discussion on the stability of the analytical model proved that despite in relative complicated forms and with three intercoupling material parameters, the analytical model is still effective for tensile property calculation. From the investigation on the relationship between pm and pi, it was found that correlating coefficient ξ is actually a function of both indentation depth and material parameters, and thus, a regression function was proposed for a more accurate description of ξ. Effectiveness of the spherical indentation tests was verified through experiments on three steels, SA508, 15CrMoR, S30408, and one titanium alloy, TC21, which proved that the spherical indentation tests can provide both proof and tensile strength calculations with a maximum error around 15% at room temperature and within 20% at elevated temperatures, and thus satisfy the demands for engineering applications.
