Ferrite Grain Size

Using thermo-mechanical controlled process, the experiment on the yield-strength ratio of low-carbon alloy steel was carried out and the effect of ferrite grain size on the yield-strength ratio of steel was discussed. Theory analysis and the experimental results indicate that the smaller ferrite grain size is, the higher the yield-strength ratio is. In addition, the regression formulas on yield and tensile strength are also obtained.

Abstract Alloy Steel 1.8 Cu-1.0 Mn-1.2 Si is a low-carbon (0.20% max.) cast steel designed to provide intermediate tensile and yield strength. Copper lowers the ductility and toughness of cast steel but, for a given increase in tensile strength, the loss of ductility and toughness is less if copper is added than if carbon is increased. This steel has many uses such as booms, long shafting and gears. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as casting, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SA-325. Producer or source: Alloy steel mills and foundries.

Ferrite Grain Size

A Nb alloyed low carbon steel was processed by hot equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) and following transformation. The workpieces were heated up to the 960°C in the furnace for 10 min within the container block. Before extrusion, the die was preheated to 400oC. The workpiece was cooled in the die after ECAE process. 1 pass and 2 pass via route C were conducted at a speed of 32mm/s, the inter-pass time is about 2 sec. The sample of average ferrite grain size of about 2μm, a tensile strength of 800MPa, a total elongation about 20% is produced after 2 pass ECAE processed and subsequent cooling.

Electron Back Scattered Diffraction

Orientations distribution between grains of two high grade pipeline steels were investigated by electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD). Then the percentage of low-angle grain boundaries was studied qualitatively to analyze the effect of low-angle grain boundaries on the yield-strength ratio of high grade pipeline steels. From the mode of coordinate deformation and the ability to resist deformation by the grain boundaries, the results show that when the effective grain size are almost the same, the pipeline steel which has the smaller percentage of low-angle grain boundaries, the larger difference between the yield strength and tensile strength, which makes the yield-strength ratio of pipeline steel lower.

Nanostructured Copper

The tensile strength of nanostructured Cu obtained by electrodeposition and Surface Mechanical Attrition Treatment (SMAT) was studied. Cu after electrodeposition had been first studied. Electrodeposited Cu had the well-known reduction on the grain size and as well as the improvement on the strength compared with the bulk hard copper. After SMAT, although the ductility had dropped, the yield strength is further enhanced up to 50% (350MPa) to obtain a stronger material. Since the parameters of the electrodeposition affects the properties of the materials obtained, rooms for improvement could be expected, for example, increasing the duration of the electrodeposition may increase the ductility significantly, in the later stage of this study, experimental results proved this saying. The present study demonstrates the potential process for developing a novel surface nanostructured material with electrodeposited Copper with SMAT for engineering applications.

Microstructure And Mechanical Properties

In order to study the effect of deformation extent on microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast AZ91D magnesium alloy, experiments of direct extrusion were performed at temperature of 420 and different extrusion ratios. The microstructure and mechanical properties of billets and extrudates were measured. Experimental results show that the grain size of as-cast AZ91D magnesium alloy can be dramatically refined by extrusion. Direct extrusion can obviously improve the mechanical properties of as-cast AZ91D magnesium Alloy, comparing with the pre-extruded billet, the tensile strength, yield strength and elongation of extrudate can be improved by at least 83%, 154% and 150% respectively. As the extrusion ratio increases, the tensile strength and yield strength of extrudate will increase at first and then fall.

Zk60 Magnesium Alloy

As-cast ZK60 magnesium alloy that has been treated by homogenizing was forward extruded at 380°C and different extrusion ratios. Half of the extruded samples were treated by T5 treatment (10 hours at 170°C). The microstructure and mechanical properties of extruded samples that have been treated by T5 treatment and not been treated by T5 treatment have been measured. Experimental results show that the T5 treatment of extruded ZK60 magnesium alloy will cause the tensile strength and hardness to increase in some sort, the yield strength to increase obviously, but elongation to decrease slightly. When ZK60 magnesium alloy is extruded at 380°C, the second phase, MgZn and a small quantity of MnZn 2, will precipitate, and the distribution of second phase is even and dispersed. After T5 treatment, the change of grain size is not obvious, but the quantity of precipitated phase obviously increases comparing with extruded samples, and some of the precipitated phase aggregate and grow.

Mould Cavity

Sandglass extrusion is an ultrafine grain size method. Due to the repetitive and multiple extrusions, large strain will be accumulated and ultafine grain size can be obtained. There are some factors that can affect the experimental result of sandglass extrusion. Among these factors, free space in mould cavity is very important, which can affect the forming of the fold during the extrusion. In this paper, the effects of free space in mould cavity on sandglass extrusion have been discussed and theory analysis and experimental results have been reported.
