ABSTRACTMechanical alloying (MA) has been used to process the NiAl-based alloy Ni-35Al-2OFe such that a fine-grain (∼2 μm) microstructure is obtained through the addition of 2 v/o Y2O3 particles. When compared to a conventionally processed, coarse-grained (∼;28 μm) Ni-35–20 alloy without the Y2O3 particles, the MA alloy exhibits two to three times higher fracture toughness values, despite a 50% increase in yield strength. Room temperature KQ values as high as 34 √Pa m are observed accompanied by a yield strength in excess of 1100 MPa. Fractography confirms a change in fracture characteristics of the fine-grained MA alloy.

Delta Formation

AbstractHawaiian and other ocean island lava flows that reach the coastline can deposit significant volumes of lava in submarine deltas. The catastrophic collapse of these deltas represents one of the most significant, but least predictable, volcanic hazards at ocean islands. The volume of lava deposited below sea level in delta-forming eruptions and the mechanisms of delta construction and destruction are rarely documented. Here, we report on bathymetric surveys and ROV observations following the Kīlauea 2018 eruption that, along with a comparison to the deltas formed at Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō over the past decade, provide new insight into delta formation. Bathymetric differencing reveals that the 2018 deltas contain more than half of the total volume of lava erupted. In addition, we find that the 2018 deltas are comprised largely of coarse-grained volcanic breccias and intact lava flows, which contrast with those at Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō that contain a large fraction of fine-grained hyaloclastite. We attribute this difference to less efficient fragmentation of the 2018 ‘a‘ā flows leading to fragmentation by collapse rather than hydrovolcanic explosion. We suggest a mechanistic model where the characteristic grain size influences the form and stability of the delta with fine grain size deltas (Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō) experiencing larger landslides with greater run-out supported by increased pore pressure and with coarse grain size deltas (Kīlauea 2018) experiencing smaller landslides that quickly stop as the pore pressure rapidly dissipates. This difference, if validated for other lava deltas, would provide a means to assess potential delta stability in future eruptions.

The Ideal

Explaining how and why populations settle a new landscape is central to many questions in American archaeology. Recent advances in settlement research have adopted predictions from the Ideal Free Distribution model (IFD). While tests of IFD predictions to date rely either on archaeologically derived coarse-grained diachronic data or ethnographically derived fine-grained synchronic data, here we provide the first test using historically derived data that is both fine-grained and diachronic. Fine-grain diachronic data allow us to test model predictions at a temporal scale in line with human settlement decisions and to validate proxies for application in archaeological contexts. To test model predictions pertaining to the relationship between population density and habitat quality, we use data from the historical settlement of Utah. The results demonstrate a negative relationship between population density and the quality of habitats occupied. These results are consistent with IFD predictions, suggesting that Euro-American settlement of Utah resulted from individuals attempting to maximize individual returns via agricultural productivity. Our results provide a quantitative and testable explanation for population dispersion over time and explain the spatial distribution of population density today. The results support predictions derived from a general theory of behavior, providing an explanatory framework for colonization events worldwide.

Fracture Characteristics

The tensile properties of a low-cost first generation single crystal superalloy DD16 have been investigated. The results show that values of the tensile strength and yield strength of DD16 alloy were similar at typical temperatures; from room temperature to 760, the yield strength of DD16 alloy increases; However, above 760, the yield strength of DD16 alloy decreases remarkably, and the maximum of the yield strength was 1145.5MPa at 760. From room temperature to 760, the fracture mode was cleavage fracture; But above 760, the fracture characteristics changed from cleavage to dimple.

The present paper explores the effects of deep cryogenic treatment (DCT) on the properties of WC-Co cemented carbides. The investigation involved four different cemented carbide (CC) grades. Two of them were coarse-grained WC with grain sizes larger than 6 μm and binder fractions of 10 and 15 wt. %. The other two were fine-grained with WC grains of 0.5-0.8 μm and the same binder fractions of 10 and 15 wt. %. Their specimens were ground and polished to prepare them for DCT. In each specimen, one half of this polished surface was used for testing the properties of the CC before cryogenic treatment. The post-DCT properties were then determined on the other half. Properties of the cemented carbides prior to and after DCT were studied using optical and scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, hardness testing according to Vickers scale followed by calculation of fracture toughness KIC and a ball-on-disk test of the wear resistance of the surface. One of the findings was that cryogenic treatment led to a decrease in residual stresses and to lower fracture toughness KIC in the CC.

AbstractCompositionally-tailored, silica-free, MoSi2/SiC composites with SiC content ranging from 0 to 40 percent were synthesized through a novel processing scheme involving mechanical alloying and in-situ reactions for the formation of the reinforcement. Room temperature indentation fracture toughness and hardness measurements were obtained from these silica-free composites and were compared with values obtained from silica-containing, conventionally-processed MoSi2/SiC composites.

ABSTRACTThe Bi2Te3-Sb2Te3 compounds with the composition of useful thermoelectric cooling materials were prepared by mechanical alloying-pulse discharge sintering process. Effects of the process on the Seebeck coefficient, electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity were investigated. Temperature dependence of the Hall coefficient was also observed in the temperature range 80 - 325 K.The figure of merit, Z, was found to be about 4.0 × 10−1K−1 at room temperature in the 25%Bi2Te3-75%Sb2Te3 composition sintered at 618K using grain refined mechanically alloyed powders which had the size of under 32 μm. The value of Z was remarkably improved with a decrease of the thermal conductivity shown in the fine grain compacts fabricated by mechanical alloying-pulse discharge sintering process.

Abstract During the August 2018 ASME Committee Week, a Code Change Inquiry was presented to the Working Group on Operating Plant Criteria (WGOPC): Question 1: Is it the intent of G-2110 to limit RTT0 use to ferritic materials with specified minimum room temperature yield strengths 50 ksi or less? Question 2: If the reply to Question 1 is “No”, is it the intent of G-2110 that G-2110(b) requirement must be met before RTT0 may be used for ferritic materials above 50 ksi but not exceeding 90 ksi? During that meeting the WGOPC replied “no” to both questions. This paper provides an evaluation of available fracture toughness data augmented by an understanding of the underlying mechanisms of cleavage fracture to demonstrate the veracity of the WGOPC’s answer with regards to RTT0 and, more generally, with respect to the Master Curve.

Recent modelling of the grain size dependence of the room-temperature yield strength of Ni3Al has invoked the concept of dislocation pile-ups. The idea is that the yield strength measured in the Liiders regime (i.e. the Liiders band propagation stress) represents not the stress to independently nucleate slip in each grain but the stress required to propagate slip through the material. This paper presents direct evidence of slip propagation from one grain to the next and thus validation of the use of a pile-up model for Ni3Al.Miniature tensile specimens (3 mm x 7 mm x0.2 mm), made from an extruded rod of fine-grained (∽10 μm) Ni3Al containing 0.35 at.% boron, were strained under tension whilst being observed in a Philips EM 430T operated at 300 KV. Details of the design and operation of the straining stage and of the specimen preparation techniques are given elsewhere.
