A method of ultrasonic control of the mechanical stresses which takes into account the heterogeneity of the material structure and does not require unloading of the structure or using reference samples is considered. The procedure is based on echo-method of measuring time of the bulk elastic wave propagation and determination of the relative values ν31 and ν32 related to the material structure and mechanical stresses. It is shown that stresses violate the linearity of the relationship observed between the parameters in the absence of the mechanical stresses in the rolled material. This effect formed a basis for developing a method of the deviator stress determination. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the main advantages of the developed method against the known ultrasonic techniques used for evaluation of the mechanical stresses, give theoretical grounds to the effect which allows taking into account the heterogeneity of the material structure, and also to exemplify the procedure. An analytical expression is derived using bulk elastic wave velocity in an orthotropic material composed of cubic crystallites and an assumption on the existence of simple proportional relationship between the coefficients of the orientation distribution function in rolled metal. Presented results of the mathematical modeling confirm the experimentally observed linear dependence between the parameters ν31 and ν32 in the absence of mechanical stresses. The results of evaluating residual stresses in a welded steel plate are presented as an example of the applicability of the developed procedure. Data of ultrasonic technique and data of strain gage measurements are compared. The features of the described method of stress determination are marked and the applicability limits are specified.

Nickel films formed on the surface of zirconium alloys are often used to protect materials against hydrogen penetration. Hydrogen adsorption on nickel is faster since the latter actively interacts with hydrogen, oxidizes and forms a protective film. The goal of the study is to develop a method providing control of hydrogen absorption by nickel films during vacuum-magnetron sputtering and hydrogenation via measuring thermoEMF. Zirconium alloy E110 was saturated from the gas phase with hydrogen at a temperature of 350°C and a pressure of 2 atm. A specialized Rainbow Spectrum unit was used for coating. It is shown that a nickel film present on the surface significantly affects the hydrogen penetration into the alloy. A coating with a thickness of more than 2 μm deposited by magnetron sputtering on the surface of a zirconium alloy with 1% Nb, almost completely protects the alloy against hydrogen penetration. The magnitude of thermoemf depends on the hydrogen concentration in the zirconium alloy and film thickness. An analysis of the hysteresis width of the thermoEMF temperature loop and a method for determining the effective activation energy of the conductivity of a hydrogenated material coated with a nickel film are presented. The results of the study can be used in assessing the hydrogen concentration and, hence, corrosion protection of the material.

A calculation method for obtaining the misorientation distribution function (MDF) for cubic crystals which can be used to estimate the presence or absence of special boundaries in the materials is presented. The calculation was carried out for two samples of Al-Mg-Si alloy subjected to various mechanical and thermal treatments: the first sample is subjected to rolling; the second sample is subjected to recrystallization annealing. MDF is calculated for each sample; the results are presented in the Euler space and in the angle-axis space. The novelty of the method consists in the possibility of gaining data on the grain boundaries from X-ray texture analysis without using electron microscopy. A calculation involving only mathematical operations on matrices was performed on the basis of the orientation distribution function restored from incomplete pole figures. It is shown that no special boundaries are observed in the deformed sample, whereas in the recrystallized alloy, special boundaries are detected at Ʃ = 23, 13, and 17. The shortcoming of the proposed method can be attributed to the lack of accurate data on grain boundaries, since all possible orientation in the polycrystal should be taken into account in MDF calculation.

Austenite grains that underwent the f.c.c. to b.c.c. (or b.c.t.) transformation are typically composed of 24 Kurdjumov–Sachs variants that can be categorized by three axes of Bain transformations; thus, a complete transformation generally displays 3-fold symmetry in (001) pole figures. In the present work, crystallographic symmetry in 42CrMo4 steel austempered below martensite start temperature was investigated with the help of the orientation distribution function (ODF) analysis based on the FEG-SEM/EBSD technique. It is shown that, upon phase transformations, the specimens contained 6-fold symmetry in all (001), (011), and (111) pole figures of an ODF. The ODF analysis, verified by theoretical modeling, showed that under plane-strain conditions cracks prefer to propagate through areas strongly offset by the high symmetry. The origin of high symmetry was investigated, and the mechanism of the symmetry breakdown was explained.
