Use of the powder metallurgy (PM) in production of various components has been growing in the automotive industry, including production of sintered stainless steels (SSSs). This study aims to improve the functional properties of SSSs by formation of the Cr3C2-NiCr coating by APS method. The next stage involved alloying of the surface of SSSs using the gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). Analysis of microstructures was carried out using microscopy (metallographic microscope and scanning electron microscope). Furthermore, the study presents XRD (X-ray powder diffraction) examinations, mechanical properties and surface roughness measurements. The presented modification improved properties of the surface layers examined in the study and enabled a reduction in the wall thickness of the detail, which is important factor in the automotive and transport industry.

Abstract A simple and rapid electrochemical method for the evaluation of crevice corrosion in duplex stainless steels (DSS) is described. Three types of DSS—namely, UNS S32101, UNS S31803, and UNS S32750—were tested in 1 mol/L sodium chloride (NaCl) solutions. Results showed good reproducibility with a typical standard deviation of below 3°C. The critical pitting temperature (CPT) for the same specimens was also investigated in 1 mol/L NaCl solutions. An approximately 20°C decrease from CPT to critical crevice temperature (CCT) was observed and subsequently explained. Then, the morphologies of crevice corrosion were studied using scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) method. The SEM/EDS study revealed that the ferrite phase was the site where preferential dissolution took place at the initiation step of crevice corrosion, which was in accordance with the prediction by calculating the critical crevice index. Moreover, repassivation was detected with the development of crevice corrosion. The reason was clarified by combining the results obtained with a successful diffusion model, and eventually the crevice corrosion progress was illustrated schematically.

AbstractThe aim of the present study was to characterize the repair weld of serviced (aged) solid-solution Ni-Cr-Fe-Mo alloy: Hastelloy X. The repair welding of a gas turbine part was carried out using Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), the same process as for new parts. Light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, microhardness measurements were the techniques used to determine the post repair condition of the alloy. Compared to the solution state, an increased amount of M6C carbide was detected, but M23C6carbides, sigma and mu phases were not. The aged condition corresponds to higher hardness, but without brittle regions that could initiate cracking.

An investigation of both worn surfaces of friction pads and steel rotors which are being applied in current aircraft brakes has been carried out by employing an x-ray diffraction technique. It consists of the analysis of chemical element distribution in the surface layers. The wear particles were also examined by using the scanning electron microscope. The initiation and growth of surface cracks and the oxidation were emphasized in this investigation. A wear model was proposed for the current aircraft brake materials. Essentially this model proposed that cracks are formed in the surface layer of the break material due to the normal and fractional stresses. It is primarily surface temperature dependent.

Flux applications prior to the convention Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) is known to improve weld penetrations and improve process competitiveness. This paper summarizes the investigations on aluminum, plain carbon steels, stainless steels and titanium. The importance of flux composition, homogeneity and profile of its application are shown to be primordial in determining the weld depth to width ratio of weld pools. The mechanisms that lead to improved penetrations along with some industrial case studies are presented.Key Words: ATIG, Weld penetrations, Steels, Titanium, Aluminum

This work presents first results of the study on the influence of the LBE oxygen concentration on the initiation of dissolution corrosion in 316L austenitic stainless steels. 316L steel specimens were exposed at 450 °C to static liquid LBE with controlled and constant oxygen concentration of 10−5, 10−6 and 10−7 mass% for 1000 hours. Corroded specimens were analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Limited oxidation corrosion and no dissolution corrosion was observed in the specimens exposed to LBE containing 10−5 and 10−6 mass% oxygen, while dissolution corrosion with a maximum depth of 59 μm was found in the specimen exposed to LBE containing 10−7 mass% oxygen.

This study investigates how the use of Inconel filler metal 625 affects the microstructure and mechanical properties of gas tungsten arc welded joints of an IN-713LC nickel-based superalloy. Due to their difference in composition, obvious weld beads could be found by X-ray detection. In addition, it was found that the γ' strengthening phase was absent and carbide was present between the matrix and the weld bead during gas tungsten arc welding. These carbides are strongly related to the formation of cracking and weld shrinkage during solidification. The absence of the γ' strengthening phase and the presence of weld shrinkage and cracking led to a decrease in the hardness, tensile strength, and elongation of the welded pieces.

Abstract A new family of spherical powders produced by the spray drying route has been developed. This paper describes as an example the manufacturing method of an Y203-coated aluminum powder. Atmospheric Plasma Spraying (APS) was used to test the corresponding coatings. Morphology and phases of powders and coatings were investigated by optical and scanning electron microscopy while the level of porosity was evaluated using image analysis. Results show that homogenous composite coatings can be obtained from cladded spray dried powders.

A series of Fe-xCr-C hardfacing alloys were successfully fabricated on a substrate of 20g steel by gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process. These claddings were disigned to observe hypoeutectic, near-eutectic, and hypereutectic structures with various Cr3C2 and M7C3 carbides at room temperature. According to X-ray diffraction(XRD) and optical microscopy (OM), the hypoeutectic and eutectic composites include the Fe-Cr solid solution(α+A) and Cr3C2 carbides. Hypereutectic structures consist of α+A+M+M7C3 respectively. The cladding of hypereutectic microstructure with great amounts of primary M7C3 carbides had the highest hardness of the all conditions.

Fe-based amorphous coating was prepared on stainless steel substrates by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) using Fe-based amorphous powder as feedstock. Microstructures of the coating were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The corrosion behavior of coating and stainless steel were evaluated respectively in 3.5% NaCl, 10% NaOH and 1 mol/L H2SO4 aqueous solutions by electrochemical workstation. The results indicated that the coating was composed of most amorphous phase and some Fe-Cr crystalline phase. The coating exhibited the better corrosion resistance in H2SO4 solution, while the worse in NaOH.
