And Performance

Nanobainitic steel grades are a new construction material with a strength in the range of 1.9–2.2 GPa, at the same time characterised by good plasticity. Currently, the works on the development of nanobainitic steels at Łukasiewicz – IMŻ have entered the commercialisation phase. One of the main applications of ultra-strength nanobainitic steel plates is armour systems. In order to optimise the parameters of the production process of nanobainitic steel plates, microstructure examination and measurement of mechanical properties were carried out at intermediate stages of production and after final heat treatment. The results of industrial steel and plate production operations were assessed, including smelting and casting into ingot moulds, preparation of the rolling mill charge, hot rolling, plate production as well as intermediate and final heat treatment. Critical technological operations that may adversely affect the quality and performance of plates were identified. The directions for technology modification that reduce or eliminate threats of plate deterioration were formulated.

Dense and smooth BaTiO3 thin films were prepared on SrTiO3 (100) substrates by the dipping-pyrolysis process using a mixed precursor solution of barium and titanium naphthenates. Combination effects of prefiring [at 150–450 °C in air or low oxygen partial pressure, p(O2)[ and final heat treatment [at 850 °C in air or low p(O2)[ on preparation of BaTiO3 thin films were examined. An epitaxial BaTiO3 thin film with a dense and smooth surface consisting of nanosized grains about 70 nm was prepared by prefiring under low p(O2) at 250 °C and final heat treatment under low p (O2) at 850 °C.

Abstract Fuel cladding may be subjected to biaxial tensile stress in axial and hoop directions during pellet-cladding mechanical interaction (PCMI) of a reactivity-initiated accident (RIA). Incipient crack in the hydride rim assisted by the scattered hydrides in the metal phase may lead to failure of the cladding at small hoop strain level during PCMI. To get insight of such phenomenon, biaxial-EDC tests under axial to hoop strain ratios ranging from 0 to 1 were performed with pre-cracked (outer surface) and uniformly hydrided Zircaloy-4 cladding tube samples with final heat-treatment status of cold worked (CW), stress relieved (SR) and Recrystallized (RX). Results showed dependencies of failure hoop strain on pre-crack depth, strain ratio, hydrogen content and final heat-treatment status on fabrication, but no apparent dependencies were observed on the distribution pattern of hydrides (with similar hydrogen contents and hydrides predominantly precipitated in hoop direction) and the heat-treatment process for hydrogen charging. J integral at failure seems to be available to unify the effect of pre-crack depth.

Spheroidizing Annealing

Three groups of GCr15 steel were heat-treated respectively by conventional spheroidizing annealing, circulation spheroidizing annealing, 1050°C for 30min oil cooling quenching + 700°C tempering. The final heat treatment of these GCr15 steel was 840°C oil cooling quenching + 150°C tempering. The microstructure of the heat-treated GCr15 were observed and the mechanism of three spheroidizing treatment were discussed in this paper. The results showed that: There is obvious difference among the three groups carbide of GCr15 for the mechanism of three spheroidizing treatments is different. The GCr15 has 1050°C for 30min oil cooling quenching + 700°C tempering showed the best result of carbide spheroidizing. The microstructure of GCr15 after 840°C oil cooling quenching + 150 °C tempering was tempered martensite and carbide which is fine, round and widely distributed.

The preparation route for Nickel-sheathed MgB2 tapes has been studied in order to achieve improved transport properties at temperatures above that of liquid helium. Superconducting tapes have been manufactured by the Powder-In-Tube method, that consists in the cold working of a Nickel tube filled by reacted MgB2 powders, and in a final heat treatment carried out in Argon atmosphere. The could working procedure has been tuned in order to achieve the highest degree of MgB2 density, while limiting the formation of sausaging of the superconducting core cross section. The effect of the final heat treatment has been studied both on the superconducting and microstructural properties of the MgB2 tapes. The critical current of the reacted MgB2 tapes has been measured as a function of the magnetic field and of the temperature on short samples as well as on a small pancake coil. Finally, the microstructural and XRD analyses have revealed the clear presence of a MgB2Ni2.5 reaction layer between the Nickel sheath and the Nickel sheath and the MgB2 superconducting core in the reacted samples.

Image Analysis Techniques

High current density NbTi multifilamentary superconductors have α-β microstructures tailored by thermo-mechanical processing involving interspersed cold drawing and heat treatment. A final heat treatment in the two-phase α-β field controls the volume fraction of α-Ti precipitates and subsequent cold drawing refines the scale of the microstructure to a level that optimizes flux pinning properties which affect critical current density (Jc). The volume fraction, particle size, shape and spacing of α-Ti precipitates present after the final heat treatment are important parameters of interest, and should be measurable by image analysis techniques if suitable images were available.

It is well known that the aluminum alloys containing Cu and/or Mg lead to soluble compounds which themselves allow the hardening during the process of strengthening and ageing. At the same time, the hardening process during ageing takes a relatively long period of time, and the registered rises are generally not too high. There are presented studies regarding to alloy AlCu4Mg1,5Mn which was tested in several heat treatment conditions. These alloy, after final heat treatment of hardness by and ageing, suffers a sensitive hardening – the ageing is recommended for pieces used under medium and intense mechanical stresses Using the alternative electromagnetic fields is more efficient by 10 to 12% than stationary one, not only regarding to the period of ageing, but also regarding to the highest values of hardness; Also other specific results are given in the paper.

The effect of intermediate deformation (ID) on texturing of Bi -2223 phase was studied by SEM and rocking curve. There exists a peak value for the degree of texturing as a function of ID reduction. The optimum reduction for intermediate rolling and intermediate pressing is 14.3% and 10.7%, respectively. The texturing of the Bi -2223 phase was further improved by the final heat treatment after ID. Moreover, the critical current density ( Jc ) of the tapes was directly proportional to the texturing of Bi -2223 phase.

The aim of the study was to develop a technology for welding non-weldable 42CrMo4 and NANOS-BA® steel grades in the process of hot rolling and two-stage heat treatment. As a result of physical experiments carried out in a line for semi-industrial simulation of the production of metals and their alloys (LPS) and additional heat treatment, a durable combination of 42CrMo4 and NANOS-BA® steels with high mechanical properties was obtained, including: Rp0.2 = 1036 MPa, Rm = 1504 MPa and A = 10.9%, without microscopically visible cracks and other discontinuities in the joined surface. The quality of the 42CrMo4/NANOS-BA® clad plates produced in this way was assessed on the basis of microstructure examination as well as bending, shear and tensile strength tests.
