The tensile and the fatigue tests of three different rolling states of SUS301L stainless steel welded joints were investigated, and their S-N curves were obtained and analyzed. The typical fracture morphology of fatigue specimens were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicate that the tensile strength and the yield strength of three kinds of SUS301L stainless steel welded joints increase with increasing of rolling degrees, while only the elongation rate decreases with the increasing of rolling degrees; the median fatigue limit of SUS301L-DLT、SUS301L-ST、SUS301L-MT for fatigue life 2×106 cycles are 247.5MPa, 331MPa, 266.7MPa.

AbstractDiffusion brazing was performed between titanium (Grade 2) and stainless steel (X5CrNi18-10) using as a filler a nickel foil at the temperatures of 850, 900, 950 and 1000°C. The microstructure was investigated using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray system (EDS). The structure of the joints on the titanium side was composed of the eutectoid mixture αTi+Ti2Ni and layers of intermetallic phases Ti2Ni, TiNi and TiNi3. The stainless steel-nickel interface is free from any reaction layer at 850°C, above this temperature thin layer of reaction appears. The microhardness measured across the joints reaches higher values than for titanium and stainless steel, and it achieves value from 260 to 446 HV. The highest shear strength (214 MPa) was achieved for joints brazed at 900°C.

The laser-based fusion of metallic powder allows construction of components with arbitrary complexity. In selective laser melting, the rapid cooling of melt pools in the direction of the component building causes significant anisotropy of the microstructure and properties. The objective of this work is to investigate the influence of build anisotropy on the microstructure and mechanical properties in selective laser melted AlSi10Mg. The alloy is comprehensively used in the automotive industry and has been one of the most frequently investigated Al alloys in additive manufacturing. Using specimens produced in three different building orientations with respect to the build platform, the anisotropy of the microstructure and defects will be investigated using scanning electron microscopy and microcomputed tomography. The analysis showed a seven-times higher pore density for the 90°-specimen compared to the 0°-specimen. The scanning electron microscopy revealed the influence of the direction of the cooling gradient on the constitution of the eutectic phase. Mechanical properties are produced in quasi-static and fatigue tests of variable and constant loading amplitudes. Specimens of 0° showed 8% higher tensile strength compared to 90°-specimens, while fracture strain was reduced almost 30% for the 45°-specimen. The correlation between structural anisotropy and mechanical properties illustrates the influence of the building orientation during selective laser melting on foreseen fields of application.

Stainless steel corrugated hoses are widely used in many areas of industry. They are used in application such as distribution of drinking and supply water, gas and also various working fluids, for example in cooling systems. During the assembly of AISI 316L corrugated hoses for cooling systems defects form due to deformation of the hoses during assembly. The absolute tightness of such systems is required and any defects of the hoses are therefore undesirable. This study deals with evaluation of most common defects of corrugated hoses via light and scanning electron microscopy and proposes measures to minimize such defects. It was revealed, that defects form due to deformation of the hoses during assembly or, in case of unfavorable microstructure, during the service life. In later case, failure of the hose was caused by higher content of deformation-induced martensite in microstructure as a result of intense cold forming. Component with such microstructure exhibited less favorable mechanical properties and hoses were more prone to the failure.

The aromatic polyamides form a class of fibers having mechanical properties which are much better than those of aliphatic polyamides. Currently, the accepted morphology of these fibers as proposed by M.G. Dobb, et al. is a radial arrangement of pleated sheets, with the plane of the pleats parallel to the axis of the fiber. We have recently obtained evidence which supports a different morphology of this type of fiber, using ultramicrotomy and ion-thinning techniques to prepare specimens for transmission and scanning electron microscopy.

Polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the most suitable materials for 3D printing. Blending with nanoparticles improves some of its properties, broadening its application possibilities. The article presents a study of composite PLA matrix filaments with added unmodified and lignin/polymerised lignin surface-modified nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC). The influence of untreated and surface-modified NFC on morphological, mechanical, technological, infrared spectroscopic, and dynamic mechanical properties was evaluated for different groups of samples. As determined by the stereo and scanning electron microscopy, the unmodified and surface-modified NFCs with lignin and polymerised lignin were present in the form of plate-shaped agglomerates. The addition of NFC slightly reduced the filaments’ tensile strength, stretchability, and ability to absorb energy, while in contrast, the initial modulus slightly improved. By adding NFC to the PLA matrix, the bending storage modulus (E’) decreased slightly at lower temperatures, especially in the PLA samples with 3 wt% and 5 wt% NFC. When NFC was modified with lignin and polymerised lignin, an increase in E’ was noticed, especially in the glassy state.

In this work, a mechanically durable anticorrosion superhydrophobic coating is developed using a nanocomposite coating solution composed of silica nanoparticles and epoxy resin. The nanocomposite coating developed was tested for its superhydrophobic behavior using goniometry; surface morphology using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy; elemental composition using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy; corrosion resistance using atomic force microscopy; and potentiodynamic polarization measurements. The nanocomposite coating possesses hierarchical micro/nanostructures, according to the scanning electron microscopy images, and the presence of such structures was further confirmed by the atomic force microscopy images. The developed nanocomposite coating was found to be highly superhydrophobic as well as corrosion resistant, according to the results from static contact angle measurement and potentiodynamic polarization measurement, respectively. The abrasion resistance and mechanical durability of the nanocomposite coating were studied by abrasion tests, and the mechanical properties such as reduced modulus and Berkovich hardness were evaluated with the aid of nanoindentation tests.

As a kind of the high strength low alloy steel (HSLA), 30CrMoSi has been used widely in some industrial fields. However, just like some HSLA, this steel also faces some problems when it is welded, especially such problem as cold cracking in the welded joints. In this paper, the cold welding cracks and microstructure of the joints of 30CrMoSi steel were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy (OM), and a method called welding with trailing impacting and rolling (WTIR) was utilized to solve the problem mentioned above by decreasing the residual welding stress which is one main factor to lead to cold welding crack in the joint of HSLA. The crack-free joints of 30CrMoSi steel were obtained by using proper parameters.

The super-tough bio-based nylon was prepared by melt extrusion. In order to improve the compatibility between bio-based nylon and elastomer, the elastomer POE was grafted with maleic anhydride. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) were used to study the compatibility and micro-distribution between super-tough bio-based nylon and toughened elastomers. The results of mechanical strength experiments show that the 20% content of POE-g-MAH has the best toughening effect. After toughening, the toughness of the super-tough nylon was significantly improved. The notched impact strength was 88 kJ/m2 increasing by 1700%, which was in line with the industrial super-tough nylon. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were used to study the crystallization behavior of bio-based PA56, and the effect of bio-based PA56 with high crystallinity on mechanical properties was analyzed from the microstructure.

The influence of the mechanical properties of X70 pipeline steel under different annealing temperature was studied. The corresponding microstructure was investigated by the Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy. The results showed that the yield strength and the tensile strength both experienced from rise to decline with the increase of annealing temperature. The grain sizes were coarse and a large amount of cementite precipitated due to preserving temperature above 550 °, which induced matrix fragmentation and deteriorate the -10 ° DWTT Toughness. There were little changes on the microstructure and mechanical properties when the annealing temperature was under 500 °.
