Bamboo Powder

In this study, we investigated changes in the injectability of bamboo powder and the Vickers hardness of compacted products resulting from differences in heat-treatment conditions such as steaming and boiling. We conducted injection tests and test fabrications of compacted products using bamboo powder treated under various conditions. From the injection tests of heat-treated bamboo powder, we found that injectability was improved by heat treatment. While bamboo powder steamed at 200 °C showed good injectability, boiling at 200 °C yielded better injectability. Vickers hardness tests conducted on compacted products showed that hardness was increased by heat treatment under appropriate conditions. In addition, we found that the heat-treatment condition required to increase the hardness of product was different from that needed to improve injectability.

This study aims to focus on the machinability of the AISI 1050 workpieces with cutting inserts, treated under deep cryogenic heat (−146 °C), and with untreated ones, and to investigate the optimization of cutting parameters and heat treatment conditions for surface roughness and cutting force by using Taguchi mixed design and Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The machining experiment was performed on a CNC lathe with machining parameters such as three feed rates, three cutting speeds and a constant depth of cut under dry condition and with heat treatment condition. As is known, Taguchi design L18 (32 21) consists of three factors; cutting parameters with each one of three levels and heat treatment condition with two levels. The results of machining tests were evaluated considering surface roughness, vibrations and cutting force. Furthermore, chip morphology and wear led by cryo-treated and untreated inserts were detected with the aid of a scanning electron microscope. The results demonstrated that cryo-treated (CTI) insert had lower tool wear, vibration, and cutting force than untreated insert (UI) in all conditions. In aspect of chip morphology, untreated inserts had bigger and larger serrations than the treated inserts. In addition, according to Taguchi S/N ratio, optimal cutting parameters and heat treatment conditions were obtained from CHT1, V3, and f1 for the Fc and from CHT1, V1, and f1 for the Ra, respectively. Also, the most significant control factors on surface roughness and cutting force were feed rate depending on ANOVA results and RSM. Validation test results demonstrated that RSM and Taguchi mixed design calculated the cutting force (R2RSM (CTI and UI) = 99.99% and R2Tag. = 99.95%) and surface roughness (R2RSM (CTI) = 99.76%, R2RSM (UI) = 99.59% and R2Tag. = 99.12%). Therefore, RSM and Taguchi mixed design predicts highly well match experimental data with prediction data.

ABSTRCTChange of the magnetic property of Fe-B-Nd-Nb alloys was investigated with replacing Nb by a glass forming element Zr under constant quenching rate as well as heat treatment conditions. As a result, the coercivity significantly increases up to 1207 kA/m when the half of Nd is replaced by Zr, which is presumably due to grain refinement of the Nd2Fe14B phase. The self-organized nanograin magnets are attractive for future applications since their coercivity can be further improved by reducing the grain size via optimizing the Zr concentration, the quenching rate and the subsequent heat treatment condition.

The effect of various heat treatment operations (annealing, normalizing, tempering) on mechanical properties of 0.35% carbon steel was investigated. The change in the value of endurance limit of the material as a result of the various heat-treatment operations were studied thoroughly. It was found that the specimens tempered at low temperature (200°C) exhibited the best fatigue strength. Microscope was used to characterize the structural properties resulting from different heat treatment processes. The results from the tensile tests impact tests and hardness tests showed that the mechanical properties variate at every heat-treatment conditions. The microstructure of differently heat-treated steels was also studied.

Property Assessment

The paper deal with the hardness property assessment of various Al-Si alloys under heat treated conditions. The tested specimens have the compositions of Si with percentages such as 12 18 and 24. The fabrication of the selected composition is carried out by melting the material to the melting temperature of around 800°C. The material is subjected to solutionised heat treatment for 3 hours at 500°C, 520°C and 535°C and quenched in water. Further aging is carried out at 155°C for 2 hours, 5 hours and 8 hours respectively for 500°C, 520°C and 535°C of solution heat treatment condition. The hardness property is evaluated using Vickers Hardness tester as per the standards of ASTM- E92. Thorough comparison of Vickers hardness number is performed among the as- cast and various heat treated environment. Desirable properties of alloy are observed at 520°C solutionised heat treatment & 5 hours of precipitation hardening at 155°C for 18% of Silicon composition. The hardness value decreases due to the increase in percentage of silicon and the values are observed.

AbstractThe development of secondary phases due to additions of Y2O3 during sintering of aluminum nitride was studied. Depending on the heat treatment conditions and the amount of Y2O3 added, different proportions of AlYO3, Al5Y3O12 and Al2Y4O9 were found at the grain boundaries. Temperatures ≳1850°C also resulted in loss of Y2O3 and/or Y-aluminate, yielding some γAl2O3. The mechanical properties and the thermal conductivity of the sintered product were observed to be dependent on the grain boundary phase constitution and hence the specific heat treatment condition.

RF sputtering process was applied to produce thin hydroxyapatite(HAp, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) films on Ti-6Al-4V alloy substrates. The effects of different heat treatment conditions on the bonding strength between HAp thin films and Ti-6Al-4V alloy substrates were studied. Before deposition, the Ti-6Al-4V alloy substrates were heat treated for 1hr at 850°C under 3.0×10-3torr, and after deposition, the HAp thin films were heat treated for 1hr at 400°C, 600°C and 800°C under the atmosphere, and analyzed optical microscope, FESEM, FTIR, XRD, nano-indentor, micro-vickers hardness, respectively. Experimental results represented that the HAp thin films on the heat treated substrates had higher hardness than none-heat treated substrates before the deposition.

Effect Of Copper

The microstructural changes of electroless Ni–P–Cu coating at various heat-treatment conditions are investigated to understand its implications on the tribological behavior of the coating. Coatings are heat-treated at temperatures ranging between 200°C and 800 °C and for 1–4 h duration. Ni–P–Cu coatings exhibit two-phase transformations in the temperature range of 350–450 °C and the resulting microstructural changes are found to significantly affect their thermal stability and tribological attributes. Hardness of the coating doubles when heat-treated at 452 °C, due to the formation of harder Ni3P phase and crystalline NiCu. Better friction and wear performance are also noted upon heat treatment of the coating at the phase transformation regime, particularly at 400 °C. Wear mechanism is characterized by a mixed adhesive cum abrasive wear phenomena. Heat treatment at higher temperature (600 °C and above) and longer duration (4 h) results in grain coarsening phenomenon, which negatively influences the hardness and tribological characteristics of the coating. Besides, diffusion of iron from the ferrous substrate as well as greater oxide formation are noticed when the coating is heat-treated at higher temperatures and for longer durations (4 h).

Microstructural Effect

The microstrctural evolution pre and post heat treatment is critical to achieve a successful product for metal forming process. This paper aims to investigate the microstructual effect of the magnesium alloy tubes undergone various heat treatment conditions to achieve material homogenization. The heat treatment conditions under various periods of time (1, 2, 6, 12 and 30 hours) at 400 °C were employed to investigate the microstructural effect on hydroforming magnesium tubes. The greatly reduced impurity embedded in grain boundaries and more uniform grain sizes do indicate the improvement of material strength and ductility. To validate the conclusion, corresponding tensile tests at the different temperatures (20 °C and 200 °C) were carried out. The increased engineering strain in two directions (hoop and longitudinal) implies that the microstructural evolution is unquestionably useful to enhance the ductility of the magnesium tubes. Subsequently, the tubes after optimal heat treatment condition at 400 °C for 6 hours were used to further carry out the thermal hydroforming process for validation. The defect-free hydroformed tubes were produced under the same working condition, which is unable to be achieved for tubes without the heat-treatment process.

In this study, mechanical properties of friction stir welded Aluminum Alloy (AA) 6061 in three different heat treatment conditions i.e. Annealed (O), Artificially aged (T6) and Post Weld Heat Treated (PWHT) were compared. Plates were welded in a butt joint form. Parameters were optimized and joints were fabricated using tool rotational speed and travel speed of 500 rpm and 350 mm/min respectively. Two sets of plates were welded in O condition and out of which one was, later, subjected to post weld artificial aging treatment. Third set was welded in T6 condition. The welds were characterized by macro and microstructure analysis, microhardness measurement and mechanical testing. SEM fractography of the tensile fracture surfaces was also performed. Comparatively better mechanical properties were achieved in the plate with PWHT condition.
