The cutting process in plasma cutting begins with the formation of a pilot arc between the electrode and the workpiece as a result of the electrical ionization reaction of the highly conductive cutting gas. The gas is heated by the pilot arc until its temperature rises very high then the gas will be ionized and become a conductor of electricity. When the gas stream leaves the nozzle, the gas expands rapidly carrying the molten metal so that the cutting process continues. This plasma temperature can reach 33,000°C, approximately 10 times the temperature produced by the reaction of oxygen and acetylene. If this is related to the mechanical properties of the material, where the material has been heated it will result in changes in the mechanical properties of the material in the heating area/around the cutting plane. Tensile testing is the most widely used type of test because it is able to provide representative information on the mechanical behavior of the material. Seeing an incident like this, it is necessary to test the Effect of Plasma Cutting on the Tensile Strength of 'Fe' Materials through a tensile test. Several studies have shown that torch height, amperage and cutting speed can affect material properties. The best tool parameter settings are obtained at a travel speed of 500 mm/min, 75 amperes and a torch-material distance of 3 mm so that these settings are used as a reference in this study. In analyzing the data, the authors compare the results of plasma cutting testing with conventional cutting, in order to know the changes in mechanical properties that occur.

The effect of heat treatment condition on non-Cu AA7021 alloy was investigated with respect to mechanical properties and very high cycle fatigue behavior. With a focus on the influence of heat treatment, AA7021 alloy was solution heat-treated at 470 °C for 4 h and aged at 124 °C. Comparing the results of solution-treated and peak-aged AA7021 alloy shows a significant increase in Vickers hardness and tensile strength. The hardness of AA7021 alloy was increased by 65% after aging treatment, and both tensile strength and yield strength were increased by 50~80 MPa in each case. In particular, this paper investigated the very high cycle fatigue behavior of AA7021 alloy with the ultrasonic fatigue testing method using a resonance frequency of 20 kHz. The fatigue results showed that the stress amplitude of peak-aged AA7021 alloy was about 50 MPa higher than the solution-treated alloy at the same fatigue cycles. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the size of the crack initiation site was larger after peak aging than after solution treatment.

Press Hardening

Tailored press-hardening processes are used to reduce both production costs and component weight. The aim of these development methods is to generate regions zones in the component with both high and low tensile strengths. The B-pillar, for instance, needs high tensile strength in the region of the roof frame to prevent deformation. However, the connection to the body should have lower tensile strength to absorb the energy of a crash.Regarding the production process for tailored welded blanks, the tailored press-hardening processes for monolithic sheets need no joining operation. As an addition to recent publications, this paper presents a modified tailored press-hardening process, with a modified time-temperature process. Starting from the required tailored material properties of the part, with a sheet thickness of 1.5 mm, research has been done on the process window and process design.This contribution concentrates on modifications to the time-temperature profile. After heating the hot-dip galvanized, heat-treatable 22MnB5 steel above its austenitic temperature, the aim is to adjust the material’s mechanical properties within the cooling process.Based on the continuous TTT diagram, the cooling rate has an impact on the material’s mechanical material properties. Different proportions of constituents such as Bainite, Ferrite or Perlite are created by varying the cooling rate. Furthermore, during an intermediate stage in the cooling-down period, the holding temperature has an even stronger effect on the material’s microstructural composition and the corresponding mechanical properties. The rate of the transformation process changes, depending on the intermediate temperature. The third parameter investigated is the holding time at this intermediate temperature. As the holding time is increased a transformation, progressing from austenite to other constituents, can be observed.The results of this parametric study could be transferred to a prototype environment.

Although considerable progress has been made in recent years in field of polymer welding, challenges still remain in using a friction stir welding method to join polycarbonate (PC) composites. This research provides an investigation on the effect of welding parameters (tool’s travel and rotational speeds) on mechanical properties of PC nanocomposite weld lines. PC nanocomposites were prepared with different percentages of Al2O3 nanofiller using a twin screw extruder and injection moulded as sheets in order to ease the welding. Considering various parameters and their levels, optimization of Taguchi experimental design was carried out, an L16 orthogonal standard array was selected and the effective parameter was calculated using analysis of variance of the results. The results indicated that nanoalumina percentage is the most effective parameter on the tensile strength of weld and tool’s travel speed and rotational speed are next effective parameters, respectively. According to signal-to-noise ratio, maximum weld tensile strength (89.5% of base material) is revealed when nanoalumina percentage, tool’s travel speed and tool’s rotational speed were chosen as 1 wt%, 12 mm/min and 1250 r/min, respectively.

The article deals with the condition of metal sheets in plasma cutting process. The initial dependence of the deformation value on the length of the sheet metal L, the cutting width H, and the cutting speed is described. Furthermore, a new dependence of the strain value on the current, voltage, and material properties is derived from this formula. At the end of the article some ways of dealing with thermal deformations of a metal sheet that occur during plasma cutting are shown such as eliminating the stress state of metal sheets, the ratio of the linear dimensions of the part to its thickness. The technique of fixing metal sheets to the cutting table, reducing waste after cutting, the effect of cutting speed on thermal deformations, the position of the sheet during cutting and uniform heating of the sheet are described.

Recent research suggests that estradiol affects the material properties of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL). Here we experimentally determine the cross-sectional area and tensile properties of ACLs from the groups of prepubertal rabbits: untreated control (C), estrogen treated (E) and estrogen and epidermal growth factor treated (E+EGF). Estradiol decreased the ultimate tensile strength and toughness of the ACL. Addition of EGF decreased the modulus of elasticity.

The pressure vessel steel is used in boilers and pressure vessel structure applications. This research studied the effects of submerged arc welding (SAW) process parameters on the mechanical properties of this steel. The weld sample originated from ASTM A283 grade A sheet of 6.00-millimeter thickness. The welding sample was treated using SAW with the variation of three process factors. For the first factor, welding currents of 260, 270, and 280 amperes were investigated. The second factor assessed the travel speed, which was tested at both 10 and 11 millimeters/second. The third factor examined the voltage parameter, which was varied between 28 and 33 volts. Each welding condition was conducted randomly, and each condition was tested a total of three times, using full factorial design. The resulting materials were examined using tensile strength and hardness tests and were observed with optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the welding current, voltage, and travel speed significantly affected the tensile strength and hardness (P value < 0.05). The optimum SAW parameters were 270 amperes, 33 volts, and 10 millimeters/second travel speed. High density and fine pearlite were discovered and resulted in increased material tensile strength and hardness.

This research paper deals with utilization of recycled irradiated high-density polyethylene (HDPEx). Grit prepared of irradiated HDPEx was used as a filler into virgin low-density polyethylene (LDPE). Concentrations from 10 to 60 % were made and their influence on mechanical properties was investigated. Tensile test at ambient and elevated temperature was used to describe mechanical properties of resulting blends. Results show that there is an upward trend of elastic modulus and ultimate tensile strength and downward trend of nominal strain at ambient temperature. Similar findings were observed at elevated temperature, which might suggest possible utilization of such modified thermoplastic materials. However other material properties have to be tested to make final conclusion.
