The dilatation characteristics of the continuosly cast AZ31 alloy and composite with AZ31 matrix reinforced by SiC nanoparticles were investigated in the temperature range of 20-410 °C. The axis of specimens was either parallel or perpendicular to the casting texture. The linear thermal expansion of the alloy as well as the composite was measured in an argon protective atmosphere using a Netzsch 410 dilatometer. The relative elongation and coefficient of thermal expansion are the main experimental results obtained using dilatometry. The temperature dependence of the elastic modulus can be calculated using analysis of the dilatometry results.

In the present study, Ni50Ti50 (NiTi) particle reinforced aluminum nanocomposites were fabricated using microwave sintering and subsequently hot extrusion. The effect of NiTi (0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 vol %) content on the microstructural, mechanical, thermal, and damping properties of the extruded Al-NiTi nanocomposites was studied. Compared to the unreinforced aluminum, hardness, ultimate compression/tensile strength and yield strength increased by 105%, 46%, 45%, and 41% while elongation and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) decreased by 49% and 22%, respectively. The fabricated Al-1.5 NiTi nanocomposite exhibited significantly higher damping capacity (3.23 × 10−4) and elastic modulus (78.48 ± 0.008 GPa) when compared to pure Al.

This experimental study deals with the problematics of thermal expansion α [10-6/K] of the composite systems based on recycled carbon fibres reinforced epoxy resin. The epoxy resin CHS – EPOXY 520 (EPOXY 15), cured with the hardener P11 (Districhem, s.r.o.), was chosen as a sample matrix. Recycled carbon fibres with a diameter of 7 μm and a length of 100 μm (Easy Composites Ltd.) were the filler. In the experiment, samples with the fulfilment of 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 90 and 100 phr were prepared. The samples were being poured into silicone molds, cured at an overpressure of 0.7 MPa and a temperature of 23 ± 2 °C for 24 hours. A thermomechanical analyzer was used to determine the thermal expansion of composite systems. The addition of recycled carbon fibers to epoxy resin can reduce the coefficient of linear thermal expansion at 20°C in half, from the original α = 45 to 55 × 10-6/K for non-filled epoxy resin to α = 25 to 27 × 10-6/K for filled epoxy resin. Optimal filling is at the level of 40 phr, with higher filling there is no further reduction of the linear thermal expansion coefficient.

Material testing was undertaken on samples taken from clad pipe manufactured by JSW for the Tangguh LNG project. The test programme involved testing Young’s Modulus (E) and Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion (α) from room temperature to above 110° on each layer. This paper summarises testing and analysis of results which enabled mean and variance on each material property to be found. Checks were also undertaken for any correlations in properties between clad and parent layers, and between Young’s Modulus and Coefficient of Thermal Expansion. Analysis results are compared to existing industry norms and their implications for the Tangguh project UHB (Upheaval Buckling) SRA (Structural Reliability Analysis) are summarised.

In modeling space optical systems, an important property affecting the wave front error is the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the materials. The change of deformation that an optical element experiences due to thermal loads is proportional to both the CTE and the change in temperature gradient. This deformation affects the performance of the optical system by introducing error in the wave front. The deformation can be reduced in part by using materials with low CTE. Alternatively, using high conductivity materials to minimize temperature gradients through the mirror can also reduce deformation. Usually, a combination of these approaches is used to optimize the performance and meet the requirements of the system. Even with the utmost attention to thermal control, often the temperature gradients cannot be completely avoided. Low CTE materials have been developed to reduce thermal deformation, including ULE (Ultra-low Expansion), Zerodur, and Silicon Carbide. However, the manufacturing process can result in non-uniformities throughout the optics. For optical systems requiring highly precise performance, modeling these non-uniformities becomes important. The non-uniformity in the CTE of a material in effect compounds the deformation in the same manner as introducing additional temperature gradient through the optics. This paper describes the methodology for integrated thermal/mechanical modeling to predict the deformation response of an optical element with assumed CTE variations and thermal disturbances. A mirror with an assumed CTE variation was modeled in a changing thermal environment and using IDEAS/TMG analysis tools, thermal deformations were predicted. Results show excellent agreement with engineering predictions. Clearly knowing the CTE variation of the material is a critical step for modeling. However, measuring and specifying the material CTE is out of the scope of this paper.

AbstractLead fluoride is a superionic conductor with the fluorite structure. Results of the measurement of linear thermal expansion of lead fluoride (reported earlier in literature) showed a large increase in the thermal expansion coefficient near 700 K where the ionic conductivity has been shown to exhibit a sharp increase. It is believed that thermally-generated defects in a crystal lattice affect the thermal expansion coefficient. This idea was applied in the present analysis to calculate the defect formation energy (Ef) by using the literature values of the coefficient of thermal expansion. It was assumed that the thermal expansion in excess of that produced due to the lattice anharmonicity (δ∝) is proportional to the concentration of defects (n). With this assumption, one may write: δ∝ = c nº exp(-Ef/kT), where c is a constant. For lead fluoride, a plot of ln(δ∝) versus (l/T) yielded Ef = 0.56 eV which is lower than the literature values. The assumptions in this analysis and the discrepancy in the result are discussed.

Using the previously developed method for calculating crystal properties based on the Mie–Lennard-Jones pair potential, the thermodynamic properties of the BCC and FCC phases of iron at the temperature of the polymorphic BCC-FCC phase transition are calculated. 23 properties of iron and their changes during the BCC-FCC transition are calculated. Calculations have shown that properties such as the Gruneisen parameter, the coefficient of thermal expansion, and the heat capacity practically do not change during the BCC-FCC transition. The elastic modulus, specific entropy, Poisson's ratio, and specific surface energy change in the same way as the molar volume, i.e. within 1%. The Debye temperature and its pressure derivative decrease at the BCC-FCC transition in the same way as the distance between the centers of the nearest atoms increases, i.e. within 2-3%. Based on the analysis of experimental data known from the literature, it is shown that even relatively accurately measured parameters such as the coefficient of thermal expansion and elastic modulus are measured with an error exceeding the values of jumps in these parameters at the BCC-FCC transition. It is indicated that amorphization or nanostructuring of a certain portion of iron during the BCC-FCC transition can contribute to changes in the properties of iron during this phase transition.

This paper reports a finite element study of effect of bonding strength between metal and ceramic. The bonding strength is evaluated with different processing temperature and holding time. The difference between the coefficients of linear thermal expansion (CTEs) of the metal and ceramic induces thermal stress at the interface. The mismatch thermal stress at the interface region plays an important role in improving bonding strength. Hence, it is essential to evaluate the interface bonding in metal-ceramics joints. The Al/SiC bonding was modeled and analyzed using finite element analysis in ANSYS (v.10). Keywords: Bonding Strength, Coefficient of Thermal Expansion, Thermal Stress, Interface, Al/Sic, FEA.

This paper discusses a non-destructive measurement technique of residual stress through optical visualization. The least amount of deformation possible is applied to steel plates by heating the specimens +10 °C from room temperature for initial calibration, and the thermal expansion behavior is visualized with an electronic speckle pattern interferometer sensitive to two dimensional in-plane displacement. Displacement distribution with the thermal deformation and coefficient of thermal expansion are obtained through interferometric fringe analysis. The results suggest the change in the thermal deformation behavior is affected by the external stress initially applied to the steel specimen. Additionally, dissimilar joints of steel and cemented carbide plates are prepared by butt-brazing. The residual stress is estimated based on the stress dependence of thermal expansion coefficient.
