In response to the development of new materials and the application of materials and components in new technologies the direct measurement, calculation and evaluation of textures and residual stresses has gained worldwide significance in recent years. Non-destructive analysis for phase specific residual stresses and textures is only possible by means of diffraction methods. The determination of global texture and the local variation of texture for example by inhomogeneous deformation are very important due to the coherence between the texture and the physical and mechanical properties of materials.

In response to the development of new materials and the application of materials and components in new technologies the direct measurement, calculation and evaluation of textures and residual stresses has gained worldwide significance in recent years. Non-destructive analysis for phase specific residual stresses and textures is only possible by means of diffraction methods. In order to cater for the development of these analytical techniques the new Materials Science Diffractometer STRESS-SPEC at FRM-II is designed to be equally applied to texture and residual stress analyses by virtue of its flexible configuration. The system compromises a highly flexible monochromator setup using three different monochromators: Ge (511), bent silicon (400) and pyrolitic graphite (PG). This range of monochromators and the possibility to vary the take-off angles from 2θM = 35º to 110º allows wavelength adjustment such that measurements can be performed around a scattering angle of 2θS ~ 90º. This is important in order to optimise neutron flux and resolution, especially for stress analysis on components, since the gauge volume element in that case is cubic and large vertical divergences due to focusing monochromators do not affect the spatial resolution. The instrument is now available for routine operation and here we will present details of recent experiments and instrument performance.

The introduction of additive technologies for the manufacture of parts will significantly improve the efficiency and mobility of production. The technology of selective laser melting has the greatest accuracy in the manufacture of metal and alloyed parts. There are a number of publications on the physical and mechanical properties of such products, which often exceed the properties of materials obtained by traditional technology, but there is no data on the geometric accuracy of manufacturing. This paper provides explicit data on geometric accuracy, depending on various factors.

The paper presents computational modelling using the Finite Element Method (FEM) for technological operation of a driving band mounted in a groove of a projectile shell. Exemplary results of analysis for shrapnel cal. 35 mm are given. The analysis showed significant factors influencing the mounting process and a field of residual stresses in a projectile shell. It allowed for determination of mechanical properties of materials of a driving band and a projectile shell as well as of characteristic dimensions of half-finished product of a driving band and a groove in a projectile shell. The obtained investigation results show substantial advantages of such analyses for a design process of new types of gunnery ammunition. Thus, it is possible to optimise the construction and technology, i.e., to minimise the reduced stresses in a field of residual stresses in a projectile shell what limits the possibility of a driving band break (rupture) or cracking a projectile shell inside a barrel during the shot.

Introduction. Today, under the conditions of sanctions, the Russian Federation, more than ever before, needs the development of energy-saving technologies in various industries. There is no secret that when assigning cutting modes for new materials, tool companies conduct tests for the destruction of replaceable cutting inserts during cutting, the obtained numerical values are published in catalogs. The greatest impact on the life and operability of hard alloy cutting tools is exerted by the physical and mechanical properties of tool materials. Studies have shown that the physical and mechanical properties of tungsten hard alloys in the process of operation, namely in the process of cutting difficult-to-process materials under the influence of high temperatures, vary symmetrically. During the development of the laboratory plant, a literary review was carried out, which showed that at the moment non-destructive testing methods of technological facilities are widely used. Methods of non-destructive testing of technological objects allow conducting studies of the state of material, defects in the structure, internal changes, without samples destroying; this advantage was decisive during the literary review. The object of this study is replaceable cutting hard alloy inserts made of single carbide hard alloy В35 (92%WC+8%Co), tetrahedral in the state of supply. The subject of the study is the relationship between the changes of the magnetic component of the properties of a single-carbide hard alloy В35 (92%WC+8%Co) depending on the effect of high temperatures on it. This study is based on the laws of physics of the division of electrodynamics, as well as well-known non-destructive testing techniques, scientific foundations of material science. All studies are carried out in accredited laboratories of Tyumen Industrial University. The reliability of the obtained data is confirmed by the high correlation of the results of numerical values with the data obtained by the scientific predecessors. Research methodology. The paper shows the developed plant for determination of the maximum operability temperature of replaceable cutting hard-alloy inserts on the basis of study of change of electromagnetic properties. The method of research is given. Tests of the specimen are carried out during heating of replaceable cutting inserts made of tungsten hard alloy B35 (92%WC+8%Co). The heating temperature interval is selected in accordance with the temperature mode of the cutting process in the blade treatment of hard-to-process materials. Thus, heating is carried out in the range from 0 to 1000˚ C. The heating itself is carried out by the flame method manually. Results and discussions. Based on the results of experimental studies, tables of the results are compiled, where, with an interval of 10 °C, the corresponding values of the magnetic field of eddy currents induced in replaceable cutting inserts made of tungsten hard alloy B35 (92 %WC+8 %Co) are indicated. The results of the investigation are obtained to determine the maximum operability temperature of replaceable cutting hard alloy inserts based on the study of the change in electromagnetic properties for the hard alloy B35 (92%WC+8%Co) amounted to 460…730 °C, which corresponds to a cutting speed of 18 m/min during the treatment of the alloy EI867-VD (57 %Ni9 %Mo10 %Cr6 %W4.2 %Al4 %Co). On the basis of persistent tests in factory conditions, it is proved that the developed technique allows determining temperature intervals of maximum operability based on the study of changes in electromagnetic properties (magnetic field of eddy currents arising in replaceable cutting inserts) of hard alloys. These intervals make it possible to assign the most appropriate operating conditions for the cutting tool based on a scientifically sound technique that allows using the maximum tool resource.

Tests on miniature samples are increasingly used for the determination of mechanical properties of materials available in small volumes (non-destructive or semi-destructive approach). Small punch testing at constant deflection rate (SPT-CDR) of selected magnesium alloys and composites was performed at room temperature. Mechanical properties (yield strength, ultimate strength) were evaluated from SPT and correlated with results of uniaxial tensile tests (UTT). SPT characteristics were converted to uniaxial tensile properties by empirical formulas available in the literature. New formulas more appropriate for magnesium alloys were suggested.

 Formulation of the problem. Operation of buildings and structures is based on periodic assessment of the condition of structures. The procedure for determining the strength of concrete by non-destructive methods requires a certain preparation of the concrete surface of the structure and sampling in order to calibrate the devices. During sampling, the samples may be damaged, in addition the surface of the cylinders does not meet the requirements for normalized test conditions. Part of the cores during selection is being destroyed, which reduces the representativeness of the results of determining the physical and mechanical properties of concrete. The purpose of the article is to find out the possibilities to increase the reliability of determining the physical and mechanical properties of concrete. Results. In the conditions of a real object, core samples were taken to study the concrete strength of the damaged area. Samples that did not meet the normalized parameters were prepared for testing using a repair mixture Mapegrout Thixotropic. Testing of the recovered core samples showed that the repair mixture adhered well to the surface of the core. The nature of the destruction in the restored and normalized samples is similar. Conclusions. Studies have shown that: the application of the existing method of determining the strength of concrete for slab structures limits the possibility of using core samples taken from structures; the use of Mapegrout Thixotropic repair mixture allows to carry out tests according to the normative method of damaged concrete samples or samples rejected due to size mismatch; reliable assessment of the deformable properties of concrete cores in many cases is impossible; the existing methodology needs to be improved or replaced by an alternative one; quantitative assessment of the rheological properties of the concrete mixture used for the manufacture of concrete structure is possible on the basis of comparing the deformable and strength characteristics of concrete structure, which requires formalization of the procedure and standardization.

The photoacoustic effect, as a non-destructive method, has increased application in defining thermal and optical properties of materials. Since the measurement of photoacoustic signal requires use of an electronic system, knowledge of the transfer function of the measurement system is a prerequisite for its application. This paper presents two different experimental techniques for the determination of the transfer function of a PA measurement system.
