AbstractA bulk amorphous Zr55Al10Ni5Cu30 alloy prepared by squeeze casting was found to exhibit high mechanical strength values, i.e., uniaxial tensile fracture strength (σt) of 1850 MPa, three-point bending strength (σb) of 3200 MPa, bending fatigue strength (σf) of 1100 MPa, Charpy impact fracture energy (Ef) of 135 kJ/m2 and fracture toughness of 68 MPa√m. The σb, σf and Ef are about two times higher than those for the corresponding bulk amorphous alloys prepared by unidirectional solidification and powder consolidation techniques, though the σt of the squeeze cast sample is higher by about 15 % than those for the other samples. The remarkable increases in the σb, σf and EF are presumably due to the introduction of high compressive residual stress of about 1240 MPa in the outer surface region only for the squeeze cast sample. The finding of the effectiveness of the compressive residual stress on the increase in the mechanical strength under the bending stress mode is important and expected to be widely used as a new strengthening mechanism for bulk amorphous alloys, as is the case for reinforced oxide glasses subjected to strengthening treatment.

In order to enhance the efficiency and the surface smooth degree of the RBSiC grinding, a three factors two levels full factorial design was utilized to optimize the process. Combined with the effects of grinding parameters on surface roughness, the grit cut depth analysis was employed to choose the appropriate grinding parameters. The strength reliability and the residual stresses of the RBSiC ground using the optimized parameters were investigated. The results show that comparing to the polished RBSiC the ground ones have higher compressive residual stress, lower crack scatter and similar average bending strength.

Magnesium has made an attention as implant material. Because it is decomposed and absorbed in the body, and its mechanical strength is stronger than that of polymers. It is, however, reported that the corrosion rate increases under the compressive elastic stress. In the other hand, it decreases in the specimen whose surface is applied to compressive residual stress by laser shot peening. This implies that compressive plastic deformation reduces the corrosion rate. In the present paper, the corrosion rate of magnesium that was plastically deformed by uniform high compressive stress was researched. As the result, the corrosion rate decreased as the compressive stress increased.

Torsion Strength

This paper discusses the relationship between torsion strength and bending strength of Al2O3 and Si3N4 ceramics. Measurement of the torsion strength was carried out by a simplified torsion test method proposed by Yasuda and Tsutsumi. In this experiment, the average torsion strength was approximately 2/3 of its average bending strength for both ceramics. By estimating the characteristic strength σ0 in Weibull distribution from the strength data, σ0 in torsion is almost the same as that in bending, which agrees to the basic discussion in mechanics of materials. The characteristic strength σ0 is one of the normalized strength by eliminating the effects of specimen shape, dimensions and also its stress distribution, and therefore the apparent difference between torsion and bending strengths can be explained by the difference in effective surface area (Conversely, the measured torsion strength data by the simplified method must be reasonable). It reveals that biaxial fracture in tension/compression during torsion test is equivalent to uniaxial tensile fracture by this experiment.

This study aimed to improve the bending strength and reliability of ceramics using laser peening (LP). In the experiment, LP without coating (LPwC) and with coating (LPC) were applied to silicon nitride (Si3N4) under various conditions. The surface roughness, residual stress, and bending strength were then measured for the non-LP, LPwC, and LPC specimens. The results show that the LPwC specimen had a greater surface roughness but introduced larger and deeper compressive residual stress when compared with the non-LP and LPC specimens. In addition, the bending strength of the LPwC specimen was higher and scatter in bending strength was less compared with the non-LP and LPC specimens. This may be attributed to the transition of the fracture initiation point from the surface to the interior of the LPwC specimen because of the compressive residual stress introduced near the surface. Thus, it was demonstrated that the application of LP is effective in improving the strength and reliability of ceramics.

Carburized Gear

The surface condition of a carburized gear is improved by CBN grinding, in addition to the generation of a compressive residual stress at the ground surface. To clarify the effect of these merits on the strength enhancement, a bending fatigue test is performed for the carburized and the CBN-ground gears. The fillet as well as involute tooth surface is ground by an electroplated threaded CBN wheel. The low axial feed rate and the spark-out treatment are effective in improving the surface finish and increasing the compressive residual stress, and the strengths of CBN-ground gears are increased from 100 MPa to 160 MPa in comparison with the carburized gears. Moreover, the test results are discussed on the basis of the fracture mechanics-based strength evaluation which has been proposed by the authors. This analysis demonstrates that the influence of CBN grinding on strength is smaller than the effects of surface-treatments such as shot peening and chemical polishing.

Fiber prestressing during matrix curing can significantly improve the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced polymer composites. One primary reason behind this improvement is the generated compressive residual stress within the cured matrix, which impedes cracks initiation and propagation. However, the prestressing force might diminish progressively with time due to the creep of the compressed matrix and the relaxation of the tensioned fiber. As a result, the initial compressive residual stress and the acquired improvement in mechanical properties are prone to decline over time. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the mechanical properties of the prestressed composites as time proceeds. This study monitors the change in the tensile and flexural properties of unidirectional prestressed glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites over a period of 12 months after manufacturing. The composites were prepared using three different fiber volume fractions 25%, 30%, and 40%. The results of mechanical testing showed that the prestressed composites acquired an initial increase up to 29% in the tensile properties and up to 32% in the flexural properties compared to the non-prestressed counterparts. Throughout the 12 months of study, the initial increase in both tensile and flexural strength showed a progressive reduction. The loss ratio of the initial increase was observed to be inversely proportional to the fiber volume fraction. For the prestressed composites fabricated with 25%, 30%, and 40% fiber volume fraction, the initial increase in tensile and flexural strength dropped by 29%, 25%, and 17%, respectively and by 34%, 26%, and 21%, respectively at the end of the study. Approximately 50% of the total loss took place over the first month after the manufacture, while after the sixth month, the reduction in mechanical properties became insignificant. Tensile modulus started to show a very slight reduction after the fourth/sixth month, while the flexural modulus reduction was observed from the beginning. Although the prestressed composites displayed time-dependent losses, their long-term mechanical properties still outperformed the non-prestressed counterparts.

The Relationship

Yttria-stabilized zirconia (3Y-TZP) containing 0.25% Al2O3, which is resistant to low temperature degradation (LTD), was aged for 10 h at 130–220 °C in air. The aged specimens were subsequently indented at loads ranging from 9.8 to 490 N using a Vickers indenter. The influence of preaging temperature on the biaxial strength of the specimens was investigated to elucidate the relationship between the extent of LTD and the strength of zirconia restorations that underwent LTD. The indented strength of the specimens increased as the preaging temperature was increased higher than 160 °C, which was accompanied by extensive t-ZrO2 (t) to m-ZrO2 (m) and c-ZrO2 (c) to r-ZrO2 (r) phase transformations. The influence of preaging temperature on the indented strength was rationalized by the residual stresses raised by the t→m transformation and the reversal of tensile residual stress on the aged specimen surface due to the indentation. The results suggested that the longevity of restorations would not be deteriorated if the aged restorations retain compressive residual stress on the surface, which corresponds to the extent of t→m phase transformation less than 52% in ambient environment.
