Electron beam additive wire-feed deposition of Cu-7.5wt.%Al bronze on a stainless-steel substrate has been carried out at heat input levels 0.21, 0.255, and 0.3 kJ/mm. The microstructures formed at 0.21 kJ/mm were characterized by the presence of both zigzagged columnar and small equiaxed grains with 10% of Σ3 annealing twin grain boundaries. No equiaxed grains were found in samples obtained at 0.255 and 0.3 kJ/mm. The zigzagged columnar ones were only retained in samples obtained at 0.255 kJ/mm. The fraction of Σ3 boundaries reduced at higher heat input values to 7 and 4%, respectively. The maximum tensile strength was achieved on samples obtained with 0.21 kJ/mm as tested with a tensile axis perpendicular to the deposited wall’s height. More than 100% elongation-to-fracture was achieved when testing the samples obtained at 0.3 kJ/mm (as tested with a tensile axis coinciding with the wall’s height).

Electron beam (EBAM) and laser beam (LBAM) additive manufacturing processes with a deposited material in the form of a wire are an efficient methods enabling the making of component parts. The scope of the presented work was to investigate the influence of technological process on microstructure and mechanical properties such as tensile strength, microhardness and elongation of the fabricated components. The achieved results and gained knowledge will enable the production of a whole structure from stainless steel in the future. The metallographic examination revealed that the microstructure is not fully homogenies, the cell-dendritic areas occurred. Moreover, the microhardness profiles indicated that some fluctuation in the microstructure as well as mechanical properties can be observed on the cross section of deposited components. However, the mechanical tests showed that the tensile strength as well as elongation fulfil the requirement of producer of deposited wire.

AbstractEffects of heat treatment on the mechanical properties of Ni films on 430 stainless steel substrate were investigated. The Ni films were annealed at heat treatment temperatures ranging from 0 °C to 800 °C for 2 h. The surface morphology, composition, and texture orientation of Ni films were studied by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, and X-ray diffraction. The load–indentation depth curves of Ni films before and after heat treatment were measured by using nanoindentation method. In conjunction with finite element modeling and dimensional analysis, the stress–strain relationships of Ni films on 430 stainless steel substrate at different temperatures are successfully obtained by using a power-law hardening model.

Abstract The effect of stress corrosion on the mechanical properties of the coating in the zinc coating/304 stainless steel substrate system was investigated by three-point bending, slow strain rate tensile (SSRT) and nano-indentation tests. Studies have shown that fracture toughness was improved when the coating was thick but weakened when the coating was thin. At varied coating thicknesses (80 μm, 160 μm, 240 μm, 320 μm, 400 μm), the decline rates of the fracture toughness were 77.48 %, 71.82 %, 66.67 %, 55.48 % and 51.52 %, respectively, and those for the critical strain of crack initiation were 94.97 %, 91.88 %, 88.42 %, 76.19 % and 74.33 %, respectively. In addition, simulations were made to analyze the crack propagation of zinc coating in coating/substrate system under tensile loading by ABAQUS, which proved the accuracy of the experiment.

To improve the machining efficiency as well as surface roughness, a resin-bonded fixed abrasive tool is developed for lapping process of stainless steel substrate. To optimize the lapping ability of the fixed abrasive tool, the influences of bond material concentration on the mechanical properties of fixed abrasive lapping tool, including structure hardness, shear strength, the water-absorbing capacity and modulus of elasticity in compression are investigated. The micro structure of tools is also observed. Tools made of #1000 SiC abrasive and resin with different concentrations is employed in the tests. It is found, the hardness, shear strength, and modulus of elasticity in compression reach highest value, as the 35%wt bond material are used. The water-absorbing capacity increases as the bond material concentration decreases. It is judged from the SEM images that the number of pores in tool with 35%wt bond material is at the most.

This study examines the effect of heat input on the weld bead profile, microstructure and mechanical properties of single V- joint welded carbon and stainless-steel plates. The as-received sample steel plates were sectioned into eight pieces; dimension 75 X 30 X 10 mm  thicknesses. Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) of heat inputs 1250 and 2030 J/mm was used to produce full penetration bead on the plates. Although visual inspection indicated that some of the welds were macro defect free, austenitic stainless steel exhibited more weld distortions than the carbon steel and this was partially attributed to its lower carbon content and the width to depth aspect ratio of the weld profile aside the magnitude of the induced stress. For the carbon steel, as the heat input increased, the hardness value of both the heat affected zone and fusion zone increased. In contrast, for stainless steel, the hardness values were reasonably comparable within same weld region (HAZ or FZ) irrespective of heat input. Furthermore, the ultimate tensile strength of the stainless steel decreased as heat input increased while the ductility increased with an increase in heat input, in contrast to carbon steel, where both ductility and ultimate tensile strength generally decreased.
