To break through current limitations of fracture splitting materials for connecting rods, a bimetallic compound as a fracture splitting material was studied. The bimetallic sample was produced by investment casting, and interface performance tests and splitting tests were conducted. At a casting temperature of 1600 °C for 0.25 wt. % C cast carbon steel, the preheating temperature of T10A was 500 °C, and the thickness of T10A was in the range of 2–3 mm. The 0.25 wt. % C cast carbon steel and T10A were fully combined in the interface. The appearance of the fracture zone was a flat cleavage fracture, which would facilitate meshing of the cracked surface if the specimen were assembled and improve the quality of fracture splitting.

A cylindrical indenter was designed to simulate the roller and 304 stainless steel / Q235A carbon steel plate with different roughness were bonded together. The interfacial bonding behavior was investigated by SEM, ultrasonic “C” scanning detection and nanoindentation test. The result reveal that with the increase of contact pressure between interfaces, the atoms of dissimilar metals begin to diffuse across interfaces in some regions, then form island-like bonding regions, and eventually extend to the whole interface. There are no obvious cracks on the surface of stainless steel and carbon steel after deformation. The cold roll-bonding mechanism of stainless steel and carbon steel is that elements on both sides of the interface diffuse and form a shallow diffusion layer under pressure to ensure the joint strength, and the joint bonding strength is greater than the strength of carbon steel matrix. In addition, the surface morphology of base metal has a great influence on the interfacial bonding quality. The higher surface roughness values increases the hardening degree of rough peak, which makes real contact area difficult to increase and reduce the interfacial bonding quality.

Abstract Wear resistance of TiC-cast steel metal matrix composite has been investigated. Composites were obtained with SHSB method known as SHS synthesis during casting. It has been shown the differences in wear between composite and base cast steel. The Miller slurry machine test were used to determine wear loss of the specimens. The slurry was composed of SiC and water. The worn surface of specimens after test, were studied by SEM. Experimental observation has shown that surface of composite zone is not homogenous and consist the matrix lakes. Microscopic observations revealed the long grooves with SiC particles indented in the base alloy area, and spalling pits in the composite area. Due to the presence of TiC carbides on composite layer, specimens with TiC reinforced cast steel exhibited higher abrasion resistance. The wear of TiC reinforced cast steel mechanism was initially by wearing of soft matrix and in second stage by polishing and spalling of TiC. Summary weight loss after 16hr test was 0,14÷0,23 g for composite specimens and 0,90 g for base steel.

Abstract Deformation stages and specific features were studied by mesomechanical methods under tension of plasma sprayed coating-steel matrix composites. The effect of coating quality on the deformation of the matrix at the mesolevel was revealed. The results obtained make it possible to predict reliability and durability of this kind of coating and of the entire composite.

Comprehensive tests on the density-modification methods charge flipping [Oszlányi & Sütő (2004).Acta Cryst.A60, 134–141] and low-density elimination [Shiono & Woolfson (1992).Acta Cryst.A48, 451–456] for solving crystal structures are performed on simulated diffraction data of periodic structures and quasicrystals. A novel model-independent figure of merit, which characterizes the reliability of the retrieved phase of each reflection, is introduced and tested. The results of the performance tests show that the quality of the phase retrieval highly depends on the presence or absence of an inversion center and on the algorithm used for solving the structure. Charge flipping has a higher success rate for solving structures, while low-density elimination leads to a higher accuracy in phase retrieval. The best results can be obtained by combining the two methods,i.e.by solving a structure with charge flipping followed by a few cycles of low-density elimination. It is shown that these additional cycles dramatically improve the phases not only of the weak reflections but also of the strong ones. The results can be improved further by averaging the results of several runs and by applying a correction term that compensates for a reduction of the structure-factor amplitudes by averaging of inconsistently observed reflections. It is further shown that in most cases the retrieved phases converge to the best solution obtainable with a given method.
