The paper presents the experimental results of growing surface cracks in the turbine disk of a gas turbine engine (GTE) under cyclic tension at room and elevated temperatures. The geometry of the imitation model of the GTE turbine disk with a stress concentration zone in the form of a bolt hole was justified. In order to ensure the similarity of the initial damage of the imitation model and the GTE turbine disc in the plane of symmetry of the stress concentration zone, a semi-elliptical notch was made. The loading conditions of the imitation model were developed based on results of a comparative stress-strain state (SSS) analysis of the stress concentration zone of the imitation model and the GTE turbine disc. As a result of the fatigue test of the imitation model at room and elevated temperatures, the experimental positions and sizes of the crack fronts with respect to the drop potential signal on the crack edges were obtained. The fixed positions and sizes of the crack fronts were used as the basis for the numerical calculation of the fracture resistance parameters. For the numerical studies, ten three-dimensional finite element models with different positions and sizes of the crack fronts were considered. The numerical calculation results based on the finite element method were used to determine the distributions of the elastic stress intensity factors along each crack front. The crack growth rate characteristics both on the free surface and at the deepest point of the crack front were obtained at room and elevated temperature conditions. A technique for the automation tests that simulate the block-type loading of the disk material at elevated temperatures was proposed.

Abstract ToughMet 2 CX is a Cu-9Ni-6Sn alloy that combines low coefficient of friction with wear resistance. ToughMet alloys are a line of spinodal hardened Cu-Ni antigalling alloys for bearings capable of performing with a variety of shafting materials and lubricants. The alloys combine a high lubricity with wear resistance in these severe loading conditions. ToughMet 2CX in the cast and spinodally hardened (CX) condition exhibits tensile strength in excess of 724 MPa (105 ksi) and hardness exceeding HRC 27 with excellent machinability. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming. Filing Code: Cu-819. Producer or source: Materion Brush Performance Alloys.

The possibility of life and reliability enhancing of AL-31F low pressure turbine disc’s fir-tree slots by ultrasonic hardening is considered. Having disc’s material properties studied, working stress derivation is executed which was further used for following comparative fatigue tests. Also, Davidenkov method residual stress analysis is carried out which showed 95.3 % change to compression stress for circumferential residual stress and 80.9 % change to compression stress for axial residual stress which proves possibility of fir-tree slots’ life and reliability enhancement by ultrasonic hardening. Comparative fatigue tests with N = 4•10 5 cycles basis showed that the hardened samples standing out the cycle basis during higher oscillatory amplitudes (and, thus, affecting loads) than the non-hardened basic ones.

Non-filamentous hydrophobic scum bacteria were isolated from scumming wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) by means of adhesion to hydrocarbons. They were characterized with respect to taxonomy, substrate preferences, cell surface hydrophobicity, and emulsification capability. Their role during flotation events is discussed. Rhodococci are selected by hydrolysable substrates and contribute to flotation both by cell surface hydrophobicity and emulsifying activity at long mean cell residence times (MCRT). Saprophytic Acinetobacter strains are able to promote flotation by hydrophobicity and producing emulsifying agents under conditions when hydrophobic substrates are predominant. Hydrogenophaga and Acidovorax species as well as members of the Cytophaga/Flavobacterium group are prone to proliferate under low loading conditions and contribute to flotation mainly by emulsification.
