Abstract The resistance of high strength AISI 4340 steel tubing, quenched in oil and tempered at 425 F (218 C), to corrosive media has been investigated. The exterior surface of the specimen was exposed to boiling NaCl, the interior cavity was evacuated and the specimen was subjected to a tensile stress. Specimens failed, with little evidence that cracking was developing, after several hours' exposure and after hydrogen had penetrated through the specimen wall. Appearance of the initial fracture and its mode of development indicate it originated within the specimen wall. The data indicate that failure resulted from hydrogen embrittlement.

In order to make micro composite drills (Fig. 1), cemented tungsten carbide (WC-10Co) and high strength (AISI 4340) steel were successfully bonded by hot compaction diffusion bonding at a low temperature. The effects of holding time, pressure and temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties of the sintered carbides and bonding strengths of the bimetallic composites were examined, and a transitional layer was found at the interface as a result of elemental inter-diffusion. The optimal bonding parameters were determined to achieve the maximum bonding strength of 226 MPa of the WC-10Co/AISI 4340 steel joints, which is helpful in producing micro composite drills. Microforming is introduced to produce lighter and more energy effective products. In this study, Magnesium-Lithium (Mg-Li) alloy, new material in microscale, was chosen to superior formed micro-cup due to its ultralight weight with outstanding ductility. The dry and oil lubrication conditions were chosen as benchmarks to investigate effects of a novel oil-based nanoparticle lubricant in micro deep drawing (MDD) process of Mg-Li alloy. Finite Element (FE) modelling was conducted and the simulation results of the drawing force were in a good agreement with the experimental results. The formed cup quality with consideration on the surface roughness has been extensively evaluated and the results illustrated the quality improvement was substantial.
