Cyclic degradation of Co49Ni21Ga30 high-temperature shape memory alloy - On the roles of dislocation activity and chemical order
(2015)
Conventional shape memory alloys (SMAs), such as binary Ni-Ti, are typically limited to service temperatures below 100 °C. Recent studies on Co-Ni-Ga high temperature (HT) SMAs revealed the potential that these alloys can be used up to temperatures of about 400 °C. Analysis of the cyclic functional properties showed that degradation in these alloys is mainly triggered by intensive dislocation motion. However, data on the cyclic stress-strain response and the mechanisms leading to functional degradation of Co-Ni-Ga ...

Cyclic Deformation Response of Ultra-fine Grained Titanium at Elevated Temperatures
(2019)
This study focuses on the high-temperature cyclic deformation response (CDR) of ultra-fine grained (UFG) titanium of commercial purity (grade 4) processed via equal channel angular extrusion as a severe plastic deformation method. Low-cycle fatigue experiments were conducted at elevated temperatures up to 600 °C and at strain amplitudes ranging from 0.2% to 0.6%. Besides temperature and strain amplitude, the influence of two processing routes (8BC and 8E) on the fatigue characteristics of UFG Ti was examined. It is ...

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 ...

Bend Straightening of a Carbonitrided Gear Shaft – Consequences on Residual Stresses and Retained Austenite near the Surface
(2017-06-20)
Carbonitriding of shafts in drive technology is strongly connected with distortion. Bend straightening is an important process step in order to eliminate distortion without removing the hardened surface layer. As shown in several investigations, even for simple part geometries, bending induced stresses and plastic deformations have a strong impact not only on the residual stress state but also on the microstructure after straightening. As gear shafts become increasingly filigree and complex in their geometry, the ...

Climatic Ageing of Components of Polymer Based Electrochromic Devices
(2013-09-09)
Combining a shading function and a polycarbonate window displays an attractive alternative to the currently employed glass roof in vehicles. However, the ageing of such a device must be investigated before any application. Therefore, our investigations focus on the ageing of the components of a polycarbonate based electrochromic device. The optical, electrical, mechanical and electrochemical properties of the ion storage layer as well as the substrate will be assessed after storage in a climate with a high humidity ...
