Abstract UNIFLUX VCM 125 is a continuous flux-cored welding electrode (wire) that is used to deposit 1 1/4% chromium-1/2% molybdenum steel for which it was developed. Welding is protected by a shielding atmosphere of 100% carbon dioxide. This electrode also may be used to weld other low-alloy steels and carbon steels; however, the weld metal may differ somewhat from 1 1/4% chromium-1/2% molybdenum because of weld-metal dilution. When Uniflux VCM 125 is used to weld 1 1/4% chromium-1/2% molybdenum steel, it provides 95,000 psi tensile strength at 70 F and 24 foot-pounds Charpy V-notch impact at 40 F. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SA-340. Producer or source: Unicore Inc., United Nuclear Corporation.

Abstract UNIFLUX V90 is a continuous flux-cored welding electrode (wire) developed to weld high-strength low-alloy steels, but it may be used to weld other low-alloy steels and carbon steels. It is used to deposit typically 2.40% nickel steel weld metal with good low-temperature impact properties. Welding is protected by a shielding atmosphere of either 75% argon-25% carbon dioxide or 100% carbon dioxide. Uniflux V90 is used widely in shipbuilding and other fabricating industries. It provides around 88,000 psi tensile strength and around 26 food-pounds Charpy V-notch impact at 60 F. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SA-355. Producer or source: Unicore Inc., United Nuclear Corporation.

In order to develop new design fatigue curves for austenitic stainless steels, carbon steels and low alloy steels and a new design fatigue evaluation method that are rational and have a clear design basis, the Design Fatigue Curve (DFC) subcommittee was established in the Atomic Energy Research Committee in the Japan Welding Engineering Society. Mean stress effects for design fatigue curves are to be considered in the development of design fatigue curves. The Modified Goodman approach for mean stress effects is used in the design fatigue curves of the ASME B&PV Code. Tentative design fatigue curves were developed and studies on the effect of mean stress and design factors are on-going. Development of design fatigue curves, effect of mean stress and design factors is needed to establish a new fatigue design evaluation method. The DFC subcommittee has studied correction approaches for mean stress effects and the approaches of modified Goodman, Gerber, Peterson and Smith-Watson-Topper were compared using test data in literature. An appropriate approach for mean stress effects are discussed in this paper.

In order to develop new design fatigue curves for carbon steels & low-alloy steels and austenitic stainless steels and a new design fatigue evaluation method that are rational and have clear design basis, Design Fatigue Curve (DFC) Phase 1 subcommittee and Phase 2 subcommittee were established in the Atomic Energy Research Committee in the Japan Welding Engineering Society (JWES). The study on design fatigue curves was actively performed in the subcommittees. In the subcommittees, domestic and foreign fatigue data of small test specimens in air were collected and a comprehensive fatigue database (≈6000 data) was constructed and the accurate best-fit curves of carbon steels & low-alloy steels and austenitic stainless steels were developed. Design factors were investigated. Also, a Japanese utility collaborative project performed large scale fatigue tests using austenitic stainless steel piping and low-alloy steel flat plates as well as fatigue tests using small specimens to obtain not only basic data but also fatigue data of mean stress effect, surface finish effect and size effect. Those test results were provided to the subcommittee and utilized the above studies. Based on the above studies, a new fatigue evaluation method has been developed.

AbstractCarbon steels may be used for borehole liners in a potential high-level nuclear waste repository in tuff in Nevada. Borehole liners are needed to facilitate emplacement of the waste packages and to facilitate retrieval of the packages, if required. Corrosion rates of low carbon structural steels AISI 1020 and ASTM A-36 were determined in J-13 well water and in saturated steam at 100°C. J-13 well water is representative of water which has percolated through the tuff horizon where the repository would be located. Tests were conducted in air-sparged J-13 water to attain stronger oxidizing conditions. A limited number of irradiation corrosion and stress corrosion tests were performed. Chromium-molybdenum alloy steels and cast irons were also tested. These materials showed lower general corrosion but were susceptible to stress corrosion cracking when welded.

Plain carbon steels and alloy steels have a great application in the manufacturing process especially due to their characteristic of high machinability and low cost. The machining of these materials, the study of the cutting forces, and the power required for the cutting process is one of the most important parameters to be evaluated. The relationship between this parameter and the other cutting variables process is crucial for the optimization of the machining process. The results of this research are empirical expressions, obtained from the cutting parameters (tool nose radius, feed rate and depth of cut) and the influence of these parameters on the cutting forces for each carbon steel studied (AISI 1020, AISI 1045 and AISI 4340), as well as a general expression which includes the mechanical properties of these carbon steels. These results enable the user to predict cutting forces when using a turning process.

Manufacturing of the future has to be more flexible and versatile in order to meet the ever changing needs of the customer. Most continuous casting machines today are rather inflexible in that they are designed to cast specific types of alloys and with limited size ranges, thus suitable for the mass production paradigm. This paper reports the design and development of a modular horizontal continuous casting machine (HCCM). The aim is to have a machine that can continuously cast a variety of ferrous alloys from carbon steels, low alloy steels, stainless steels to cast irons, and with ranges of cross-sectional areas. The modular design approach and quick changing techniques are employed as the key design concept. The construction of the first prototype of the machine is completed and several field trials have been conducted. The results are promising. For carbon and low alloy steel billets, the overall structures and surface quality are good although the amount of porosities is rather large. The overall quality of stainless steel billets is better than that of carbon and low alloy steels. Adapting and setting up the machine for casting different alloys and/or different billet sizes require a little time, no more than 20 minutes.

The study on design fatigue curves was actively performed in the subcommittees. In the subcommittees, domestic and foreign fatigue data of small test specimens in air were collected and a comprehensive fatigue database was constructed. Using this fatigue database, the accurate best-fit curves of austenitic carbon steels & low alloy steels and stainless steels were developed by applying tensile strength to a parameter of the curve. Regarding design factors on design fatigue curves, data scatter, mean stress correction, surface finishing effect, size effect and variable loading effect were investigated and each design factor was decided to be individually considered on the design fatigue curves. A Japanese utility project performed large scale fatigue tests using austenitic stainless steel piping and carbon and low-alloy steel flat plates as well as fatigue tests using small specimens to obtain not only basic data but also fatigue data of mean stress effect and surface finishing effect. Those test results were provided to the subcommittee and utilized the above studies. In this paper, the large scale fatigue tests using austenitic stainless steel piping and the best-fit curve of austenitic stainless steel are discussed.
