Quenching of High Entropy Alloys after Annealing
(2020)
The effect of cooling rate after annealing at 900 °C on the microstructure and hardness of high entropy alloys was investigated using two typical samples with the chemical composition of Co₁₆Cr₁₄.₅Fe₂₉Mn₁₁.₅Ni₂₉ and Co₁₁.₅Cr₇Fe₂₇Mn₂₇Ni₂₇(Nb₀.₀₈C₀.₅) (at%). The microstructural characterisation and hardness measurements were carried out by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, wavelength-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, electron back scattered diffraction, X-ray diffraction technique and Vickers hardness ...

Effect of Post-Process Machining on Surface Properties of Additively Manufactured H13 Tool Steel
(2018-08-28)
Der Werkzeugstahl AISI H13 zeichnet sich durch einen hohen Verschleißwiderstand und eine gute Temperaturwechselbeständigkeit aus. Hauptanwendungsbereiche des H13 sind Druckguss- und Schmiedewerkzeuge. Die Verarbeitung von H13 durch additive Fertigungsverfahren, wie z. B. dem selektiven Laserschmelzen (selective laser melting, SLM), eröffnet neue Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten, wie z. B. die Integration interner Kühlkanäle, die es erlauben, das Einsatzverhalten der Werkzeuge zu verbessern. Aufgrund hoher Oberflächenrauheiten ...

A Screening Approach for Rapid Qualitative Evaluation of Residual-Stress States – Application to Laser-Hardened Microalloyed Steel
(2019-06-11)
Surface hardening and compressive residual stresses are keys to superior part performance in numerous applications. In this context the development of advanced laser surface treatments for new materials and complex sample shapes is a time con-suming process. Eventually, determination of residual stress states by means of X-ray diffraction in the whole surface and subsurface region, respectively, is one of the main time consuming facors in terms of characterization. In many applications the provision of an adequate ...

Innovative Materials for Novel Concepts for Internal Heat Exchangers
(2018-07-27)
Internal heat exchangers are often employed in solar thermal applications as well as in many other applications that involve heat, and, for the most part, consist of metallic materials (copper, stainless steel). Corrugated stainless steel tubes are easy to assemble, and are commonly used in various storage geometries. In order to significantly reduce costs, alternative materials, such as plastics, can function as excellent substitutes. Alternative heat exchangers for the following examinations using various materials ...

On the Effect of Quenching on Postweld Heat Treatment of Friction-Stir-Welded Aluminum 7075 Alloy
(2019)
This work focuses on the effect of postweld heat treatment (PWHT) on the mechanical properties and microstructural evolution of aluminum 7075 alloy processed via friction stir welding (FSW). FSW is known to be capable of grain refinement in the nugget zone (NZ). Two different quench media (water and air) were employed for PWHT. Regardless of the quench media, the PWHT led to the occurrence of grain growth in the NZ of the FSWed aluminum 7075 alloy. Abnormal grain growth occurred in the water quenched specimen. It is ...

Effect of grain size on the very high cycle fatigue behavior and notch sensitivity of titanium
(2019)
The very high-cycle fatigue performances of coarse-grained and ultrafine-grained titanium samples with different geometries at ambient temperature and various stress amplitudes were investigated. Severe plastic deformation improves monotonic strength of titanium at the cost of a loss in ductility. Ultrafine-grained titanium demonstrates a superior fatigue performance compared to that of coarse-grained counterparts in the high-cycle fatigue regime, however, suffers notch sensitivity. Furthermore, in the very high-cycle ...

On the Challenges toward Realization of Functionally Graded Structures by Electron Beam Melting—Fe-Base Shape Memory Alloy and Stainless Steel
(ASTM International, 2020-09-22)
In the present study, an iron-manganese-aluminum-nickel (Fe-Mn-Al-Ni) shape memory alloy was processed on an austenitic steel (AISI 304) build platform by electron beam melting in order to study the feasibility of realizing functionally graded structures consisting of two different materials (i.e., a functional and a structural material). Compression specimens consisting of the processed shape memory alloy and the austenitic build platform in equal parts were investigated. The microstructure was analyzed in the ...

Energy Resolved Residual Stress Analysis with Laboratory X-Ray Sources
(2017-04-17)
It is well known that existing residual stress fields play an important role for strength and lifetime of components. Consequently there is a great interest in the availability of fast, reliable and possibly nondestructive methods for their determination. In this context, X-ray diffraction methods play an important role in technical practice as well as in scientific research. They are based on the determination of lattice strains from which residual stresses are determined applying Hooke's law with appropriate elastic ...

Prozessintegration von induktiver Wärmebehandlung und Festwalzen – sichere und zuverlässige Komponenten mit hoher Schwingfestigkeit
(2017-02-08)
Mechanische Oberflächenbehandlungen, beispielsweise das Festwalzen, spielen in der technischen Praxis eine bedeutende Rolle und tragen wesentlich zur Steigerung der Zuverlässigkeit hochbeanspruchter Komponenten bei. In einer Reihe von Fällen wurde gezeigt, dass eine Erhöhung der Prozesstemperatur die Wirksamkeit der Verfahren noch steigert, weil dies zu einer besseren Stabilisierung der eingebrachten Druckeigenspannungen führt. Eine wesentliche Voraussetzung zur Einführung dieser Verfahren in die Praxis ist allerdings, ...

Effect of nanometric γ´-particles on the stress-induced martensitic transformation in ⟨001⟩-oriented Co49Ni21Ga30 shape memory alloy single crystals
(2019)
The effect of finely dispersed particles on the functional properties and morphology of thermally induced martensite in Co-Ni-Ga shape memory alloys has been already reported in literature, however, still important aspects are not fully understood. The current study focuses on the stress-induced martensitic transformation of solution-annealed, i.e. precipitate-free, and aged 〈001〉-oriented single crystals. In situ optical microscopy and neutron diffraction experiments show a significant influence of γ′-particles on ...
